It's for beta users only, public ota will be released soon.

Edit: Thread from Xiaomi forum:

  • Tested wifi stable
  • Voice search ok
  • Build 2179
  • Android Updated to Security update 07/05/2018
  • Volume icon appearance

Users reporting double wifi AC speeds. Apparently wake from sleep is now fixed and working properly aswell.

Edit: After flashing this beta build, along with the newly released Netflix build 2266, it seems that Netflix stuttering/frame drops/de-sync are finally gone. Getting real smooth playback in Netflix. But I will test this further. Overall system performance seems to be improved aswell.

Installed 2179 without issue from recovery, wifi was still slow at 20mbit... haven't factory reset since before oreo.

Doing factory reset now but has been on "erasing" for 10 mins how long does it take?

Guys if you stuck at recovery.Make sure of these:

  1. The filename is xiaomi_update without extension, and contains a single line --update_package=/udisk/update.zip
  2. The "update" file called update.zip
  3. Remove power plug from Mibox.
  4. Press and hold BACK arrow and OK button (Do not touch any other adjacent buttons).
  5. Reconnect power.
  6. It should start recovery mode and automatically start update NO MENU SELECTION REQUIRED

I updated using this guide and now my mibox says it has a new update as well. Should I install the update or stick with beta? Is the OTA update beta version of some newer beta update?

Got the beta 2179 installed. WiFi is still bad (got tons of disconnects) which makes the box mostly unusable to me (used YouTube a lot). Sometimes the wifi was so bad I couldn't even sign in to YouTube. Today the box promted me to download (took forever) a new version so I'm taking my prayers here that this update will fix the horrible WiFi.

Anyone already got em with that update?

After the update build version now is OPR6.170623.013.2303

Hi , I tried to update 2179, but at recovery getting error " verification failed".

I have made xioami file without extension + update.zip, formatted flash drive with fat32.

Still getting the same error.

Installing update starts and after some seconds this error comes .

If someone could help me on this .

I am on 2175 at present.

It's the MIC finally working with Play Store and APK's apps? Its disabled on the latest public build...

You can try to use any "Audio Recorder" app from the Play Store to test it. If you are Android programmers, it's damn easy to check using the next Java function:

PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();

boolean micPresent = pm.hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_MICROPHONE); 

Could any of you, betatesters, report/test this? Thanks guys...

After insisting a lot was, had done exactly what this described did not move anything more and now decided to do the update, thank you all.

harrybuckman

Did this update fix the random remote disconnection issues. I have two boxes that either have to be rebooted or the remote re-paired every 48-72 hrs

hhanksen

Is there any new update after 2179? WiFi issues got better but still got issues with 2179.

buzby31200

I can not find a solution to my problem the Mibox returns each time in recovery mode the update does not do it there are three round down and impossible to return to the menu Oreo

rosts

I don't know why but I can't boot into recovery. Back + OK doesn't work, it just boots normally. I've done it several times before, so I don't see why it doesn't for me. I'm on 2174. Anyone else?

hcardoso483

Guys I have major problem I did the file xiaomi_update and now the box just shows erasing and doesn't go beyound that what should I do?

VampyreLust

What happened to the last one that was supposed to go OTA after beta or the one before that? Why so many Beta builds without a public release, that’s 5 builds now past the last public release of 2174.
