Xiaomi HyperOS 2: The Universal Update Guide for All Mi Pilot, Partial and Public Versions

Have you been waiting days or even weeks for an update that never arrives on your Xiaomi phone? That wait can end today! In this article, I’ll show you how to perform the Xiaomi HyperOS 2 manual update quickly and safely.

The Xiaomi HyperOS 2 manual update might seem complicated, but it’s actually quite simple when you know the right steps. Even if your phone hasn’t received the notification, you can install the new versions and enjoy all the system improvements.

Let’s understand together all the types of updates (Mi Pilot, partial, and public) and how you can install any of them, regardless of your status. Follow this step-by-step guide and free yourself from waiting for OTA (over-the-air) updates.

What is Xiaomi HyperOS 2?

HyperOS 2 is Xiaomi’s new operating system that replaced MIUI. With a refreshed visual design, increased speed, and lower battery consumption, it brings important improvements to all users of Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO smartphones.

Many devices are already receiving the new version OS2.0.10.0 Redmi Note 13, but not everyone has immediate access. The release happens in phases, which explains why your friend might have received it while you’re still waiting.

The Three Phases of Xiaomi Updates

Before we start with the step-by-step guide, it’s important to understand how the update phases work:

1. Mi Pilot: first phase, exclusive to official testers
2. Partial: second phase, released to a limited group of users
3. Public: final phase, available to all users

If you try to update through the traditional method (checking for updates in settings) during the Mi Pilot or Partial phases, you probably won’t find anything. And that’s where our method comes in!

How to Check for OTA Updates in Different Regions

First, let’s try the basic OTA update method with region changes. Sometimes, some regions receive updates before others.

Step-by-Step Guide to Change System Region

1. Go to Settings
2. Scroll down to About phone
3. Tap on Check for updates
4. If nothing appears, go back to Settings
5. Go to Region
6. Try changing to:
   • Morocco
   • Ecuador
   • Argentina
   • Brazil

After each change, return to About phone and check for updates again.

If still nothing appears, don’t worry! This means the update is still in the Mi Pilot or Partial phases. Let’s move on to the next method, which works in any phase!

How to Become a Beta Tester (Mi Pilot)

The most guaranteed way to receive all updates, regardless of phase, is by becoming an official beta tester.

Signing Up for the Beta Program

1. Open the Xiaomi Feedback app
2. Wait for the advertisement to pass
3. Tap on Beta test
4. Follow the registration procedures
5. Wait for approval – when approved, a green icon will appear in “Test recruitment”

Once approved as a beta tester, you’ll have access to any update, whether Mi Pilot, Partial, or Public. But even then, updates sometimes don’t arrive via OTA. That’s where our main method comes in!

Frequently Asked Questions About Manual Updates

Will I Continue to Receive OTA Updates Afterwards?

Yes! This is a common fear, but you can rest easy. When updating manually, you don’t harm future OTA updates. The system will continue to normally receive the next versions when available.

The manual update option exists precisely to be used and doesn’t cause any damage to the device or system.

Which Models Can Use This Method?

The method works for all Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO devices that are compatible with HyperOS 2. The only difference will be the specific update file for each model.

Why Do Some Regions Receive Updates First?

Xiaomi releases updates gradually to avoid server overload and to detect possible bugs before a global release. Some regions are chosen as priority, and others may wait weeks or even months.

With the manual method, you’re no longer hostage to this wait!

Is It Safe to Update Manually?

Completely safe, as long as you download the files from trusted sources, such as official beta tester groups. The files are the same ones that would be installed via OTA; the difference is only in the installation method.

Advantages of HyperOS 2 Manual Updates

Updating manually brings several advantages to Xiaomi users:

1. Speed: no need to wait for the release in your region
2. Independence: free yourself from phase and server limitations
3. Early access: experience new features before most users
4. Download speed: using the link trick, the download is much faster
5. Flexibility: works in any phase (Mi Pilot, Partial, or Public)

Important Precautions Before Updating

Before starting the manual update process, take these precautions:

1. Back up all your important data
2. Charge the battery of the device to at least 50%
3. Check the available space – you’ll need at least 5GB free
4. Be patient – the process may take a few minutes
5. Don’t turn off the device during the update
