Hey up everyone. I have managed to fix my phone and it is running well with MIUI 11.0.4.0 (QFAEUVF rom)
I will drop here step by step how I did it (I was even stuck at 11.0.1.0, so I managed to get thru it as well)
for those stuck in the version 11.0.1.0 (QFAEUVF) (eg. system updater not showing any other update further than 11.0.1.0) and want to give a try in the version 11.0.4.0 (QFAEUVF) (supposedly first fix for SIM card bug), I have found a way to fix it.
1 - full battery
2 - backup as needed
3 - take SIM card out (non-sense having it in if doesn't work xD)
4 - Settings - Mi Account - Sign Out (disconnect your Mi account from device)
5 - Settings - About Phone - System update - Tap 5 / 6 times in MIUI 11 logo
6 - Check if you really did your backup, just to make sure
7 - In System update from step 5, three dots in right upper corner
8 - Reboot to recovery menu
9 - Using your volume keys go to ' Wipe Data ' (known as factory reset) and select it with your power key and confirm
10 - Perfom clean installation and don't insert your SIM card or associate your Mi account when asked, just use home/public WIFI network.
11 - When first start process is over, head over to Settings - About Phone - System Update and click to search for update.
12 - Should show up update 11.0.4.0
13 - Download and install, phone will ask you to restart and complete update
14 - As soon as the phone is up and running, try to insert your SIM card (usually 1 slot counting from your left)
15 - Connect Mi account and check if SIM card is detected and confirmed
16 - If not, try another reset (I know, pain in the a*s), but these things work this way.
Hope this helps people stuck in 11.0.1.0 but as well people using already 11.0.4.0
I will come often here to try to help.
