Since Xiaomi still needs DOS dependant flashing, I assume you need some bootable USB with e.g. The forum at TechTablets also has several Xiaomi users discussing and sharing BIOS The original (Chinese, so Google Translate needed!) source Nevertheless, it would be nice if some grey beards could give a thought, and help the *buntu/ linux Xiaomi users out there with info and feedback.ДЇor the Xiaomi Air 12.5 (m3-6Y30) SkylakeДЇor the Xiaomi 13.3 - Kabylake 2017 version I realise that I've a Skylake 12.5 (on X16.04LTS without any issues), while most here seem to sport a 13.3. Trawling, I did find Air BIOS upgrades on the Xiaomi forums (Chinese and English), but haven't dared it yet, due to fears of bricking. Gearbest, BangGood) love to sell you the Air, but play conveniently dumb on the support subject. But to be fair, Xiaomi did make it very clear from the start that the Air in their opinion is a Chinese market only product. Xiaomi after-sales is non-existent, especially in the 'international' area. My question is: Did anybody try upgrading their Xiaomi INSYDE Corp.
