hi, i recently bought a xiaomi mi 8 i tried to install the rom eelo but when i sideload adb i get the following message:
ERROR: This package requires firmware from from MIUI 9.6.20 developer build or newer. Please upgrade firmware and retry! updater process ended whith ERROE: 7
Thanks for your help, I was finally able to download the new system. I can ask you if it is normal that there are apps like play store, facebook, amazon, aliexpress and opera
I had similar problems during installation but i could solve it:
First to say: I bought a brand new xiaomi mi 8 dipper. I followed the /e/ foundation instruction step by step until I got an error with “adb sideload” for the e-package. The console on twrp displayed something like “install firmware newer then 19.6”.
So my first thought was I could solve it with the latest firmware from https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/ and tried to “adb sideload” the new firmware. But then the twrp console displayed the error “xiaomi verify_modem failed to read current MODEM build time-stamp: 2”.
So I decided to try an older firmware, a one that matches the /e/-os-version and that finally worked. (fw_dipper_miui_MI8Global_V11.0.6.0.PEAMIXM_45261e66d2_9.0.zip was the firmware that worked form my dipper).
Here is the download https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/dipper/stable/V11.0.6.0.PEAMIXM/
I have also to notice: I couldn’t install /e/-os via sideload, so I copied the .zip onto the storage and went to install on twrp and chose file from file storage.
I hope I coud help other people here in case they ran into similar problems.
