After a long wait and a lengthy beta testing phase, the first instances of MIUI 12.5 stable are now rolling out to select flagship-level devices.
The releases kickstarted with Xiaomi’s yesteryear flagship – the Mi 10 Ultra – and then trickled to other high-end devices like the Mi 11, Mi 10/10 Pro, and the Mi 9 SE.
Of course, these releases are currently limited to China, that too in the stable beta form. Stable global MIUI 12.5 releases may therefore take a while.
But for the impatient ones out there, there is some good news. The MIUI 12.5 stable builds are already available globally through the highly popular community project known as Xiaomi.eu.
Builds under Xiaomi.eu are known to be performance-focused whilst also incorporating some of the latest features that are not available under the global MIUI branch.
This is because they’re based on the Chinese stable and beta builds with a few tweaks and additions. For starters, all Xiaomi.eu ROMs do away with ads and bloatware. Google apps are added as well since the Chinese MIUI version doesn’t include them.
These ROMs are released on a weekly basis for almost every Xiaomi device with an active beta program. But now that MIUI 12.5 has finally hit stable, Xiaomi.eu MIUI 12.5 builds have followed as well.
Although this does not mean that beta Xiaomi.eu builds have ceased. We previously highlighted how the Xiaomi.eu beta branch has now jumped onto MIUI 12.6.
Nonetheless, the download links for all the Xiaomi.eu stable builds available as of this piece’s writing have been given below:

In case you are unaware, an unlocked bootloader is a must for the installation of these ROMs. You will also want to back up your data before proceeding since your device will be wiped clean in the process.
Also if you’re wondering why a Xiaomi.eu stable MIUI 12.5 build isn’t available for your device yet, it is important to note here that Xiaomi.eu builds are only possible when a Chinese MIUI update is rolled out.
After all, all Xiaomi.eu builds are based on MIUI China, as already mentioned above. Therefore, for now, you would want to sit tight and wait for the MIUI 12.5 stable update to roll out for your eligible Xiaomi device.
For details on when that is set to happen, you would want to check out the new official MIUI 12.5 update timeline.
