In order to download the latest MIUI for your device:

- Choose the ROM region you want to download. In this case I will go with Indonesia as it has MIUI apps compared to Global.

- Voila, you’re done!

How to Install MIUI
Depending on the type of the firmware you have downloaded, installation methods differ. If you have downloaded the fastboot flashable firmware, you can refer to How to switch between different MIUI variants content which explains how to flash a fastboot flashable. If it is a recovery flashable firmware, refer to How to install MIUI updates manually / early content. Keep in mind that a full backup of your data is recommended while flashing these ROMs as they will probably wipe your data. Also, for fastboot ROMs, a PC is required. For the recovery ROMs, flashing process might be different for each device. Please do a research before flashing it.
