Hi, guys! Today we will show you on how you can install localized MIUI ROM version on Mi Pad 3 device.

Swipe to the right to confirm.
After the resize process is completed, press the “Home” button on your device.
Now reconnect your device to PC and open Mi Pad 3 (your tablet should be recognized as MTP device) and copy downloaded localized ROM to phone internal memory. If you also want to enable ROOT download SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-cappu.zip and copy to phone internal memory.
