Guides and Tips

This guide covers the most reliable method to switch regions on your Xiaomi 15 Ultra using a semi-automated script via ADB. Works especially well with recovery ROMs and advanced update options.

What’s New in v3.0 Final:

  • Stable no-delay script tested successfully by the majority of users.
  • Tap coordinate tuning and verification method.
  • Instructions for enabling advanced update features in HyperOS.

Requirements:

  • ADB App Control – essential for command-line access and app manipulation.
  • Active Google and Mi accounts on the phone.
  • Enable USB Debugging and USB Debugging (Security Settings):
    • Settings → Additional Settings → Developer Options
    • If hidden: Settings → About Phone → Tap “OS Version” multiple times

Enabling Additional Update Features:

Navigate to Settings → About Phone → Tap “Xiaomi HyperOS” multiple times until you see “Additional features enabled.”

Firmware Preparation:

  1. Download firmware Recovery ROMs from MIUIROM.org (Mirror #3 recommended).
  2. Rename the current ROM to A.zip and target ROM to B.zip.
  3. Place both in the internal storage root (not in folders).

Running ADB Script:

  1. Launch ADB App Control and connect your device.
  2. Go to the “Console” tab.
  3. Paste (but don’t execute yet) the following command:
adb shell input tap 865 2475;mv -i /storage/emulated/0/A.zip /storage/emulated/0/C.zip;mv -i /storage/emulated/0/B.zip /storage/emulated/0/A.zip

Command Breakdown:

  • input tap: simulates a screen tap.
  • mv: renames firmware files to swap them before installation.

Manual Tap Step:

  1. On your phone: open Update App → Tap the three dots → Choose update file → Select A.zip.
  2. Wait for archive verification to complete.
  3. Take a screenshot of the confirmation screen.
  4. Then hit Enter in ADB App Control to run the script.

Troubleshooting Tap Coordinates:

If the tap doesn’t trigger file selection, try alternate coordinates:

adb shell input tap 856 2375;mv -i /storage/emulated/0/A.zip /storage/emulated/0/C.zip;mv -i /storage/emulated/0/B.zip /storage/emulated/0/A.zip

Find Correct Coordinates:

  1. Enable “Show taps” in Developer Options.
  2. Run: adb shell input tap X Y to test where the tap lands.
  3. Use touch screen to find correct X/Y values (top left corner shows coordinates).

Common ADB Errors:

  • Make sure USB Debugging (Security Settings) is enabled.
  • Restart ADB App Control or reconnect device if issues persist.

Legacy Script with Delay (Optional):

adb shell input tap 865 2475;sleep .05;mv -i /storage/emulated/0/A.zip /storage/emulated/0/C.zip;mv -i /storage/emulated/0/B.zip /storage/emulated/0/A.zip

sleep .05 adds a 50 ms pause before renaming. You can increase the value (e.g., 0.5 for half a second).

After Reboot:

  • Google Dialer and Messages may remain – you can remove them using ADB App Control.
  • Xiaomi Contacts or Dialer may be missing – reinstall them manually if needed.
