I have been extremely confused on what the available ROMs are for this device. I usually am not this cautious, but the sheer rarity of this phone always makes me think twice with what I do with it.
So after reading around a bit, to my understanding these are the available ROMs:
Chinese Stable
Chinese Developer
EU unofficial global (on MIUI 6.x.x??!)
Vendor ROM
What I don't understand is that listed for me is "MIUI Global 8.0 | Stable 8.0.7.0.0 (MAHCNDI)". No Chinese bloatware, English is set by default, play store is automatically installed...
I want to update my phone OTA, but clearly this is broken as no updates even pop up after checking. My question is:
What rom am I running?
Of the following ROMs mentioned which one is the update to my device?
Thanks guys, I hope I haven't been the millionth person to ask.
Edit: after reading a bit more I've found others in my same situation. English is automatically selected, no bloatware, and the playstore is automatically installed. Apparently I have a vendor ROM, one that was installed by the seller/vendor. It's extremely hard to believe that this isn't an official global ROM!
So this Chinese stable rom: http://en.miui.com/thread-436070-1-1.html , would it have bloatware and the whole 9 yards of hell?
I can't update OTA because the updater is broken and I'm not trying to unlock the bootloader unless it's absolutely necessary. Am I on an abandoned ROM?
I had this rom it wasn't EU rom it is global same as you 8.0.7.0.0 I liked it cos it clean of all that bloatware that other roms have but I couldn't install xposed so I tried an EU rom and it did work the Eu rom does have some Chinese crap in it but some can be uninstall and now I have a very good looking and working rom, you got to tweak and customize it as you which and i'm happy with it.
I am in the same situation as you, I'm on 8.0.8.0.0 "Global" . It was installed by Gearbest, I can only assume. My updater can't see any other ROMS, not even when I've downloaded it either. So yes I think it's "abandoned".
I've asked for my phone to be unlocked so that I can get access to update the ROM later on from Xiaomi. It's been about 24 hours, I can only assume they're busy since lots of the phones have been delivered to customers by now.
My plan is to go onto the EU ROM unless I can get access to google apps using the Chinese ROM.
So to my understanding now, Xiaomi flashed every device that was sold internationally (ones shipped to redistributers like GearBest or Geekbuying)? And now they offer no support or legitimate way (besides unlocking the bootloader) to update... Can somebody correct me or didn't Xiaomi curse us with this beautiful device?
Interesting to hear. Maybe I'll check out the EU ROM
Hi guys,
im thinking to buy the phone and as i use my phone in english my questions are:
1) once i load the google apps on the redmi k20 pro there are problems with notifications in chinese rom or others issues that are not there with global version?
2) can i uninstall ALL chinese based application without root etc?
3) Overall you consider it usable globally the Chinese rom if english is the user main language ? (i know about missing b20 i don't care)
thanks.
1. I have no issues with notifications. The problem with miui is that you have to spend time customizing the notifications as some don't even show up on the lockscreen for example by default. Once you customized it to your liking it's pretty alright.
2. I've removed almost all the bloat I can just by uninstalling them. The only ones leftover are the Chinese MI apps like wallet, ai, appstore. Everything seems to be fully in English for me.
3. Yes it's considered a usable ROM to use in English. I would say the appstore is a little annoying because any links to apps won't open in play store but will open in the appstore by default.
There's also a custom version of Miui provided on xiaomi.eu that has everything in English and is pretty good as it removes even system apps that aren't needed. You'll need an unlocked bootloader for that though
When you use the Chinese Rom will you receive all official updates from Redmi via OTA no matter where you are located in the world ?

Yes, i live in indonesia. And ive received 2 ota updates so far
I bought a Redmi K20 Pro (with unlocked bootloader) and had it shipped to me in Canada, not knowing what the limitations of having an unlocked, Asia/Europe market phone in North America were. I would like to use apps like Google pay and Netflix however my device is obviously not Play Protect certified and registering it with Google's register service doesn't seem to work. I am wondering if there's anything I can do to get my device certified, like flashing an EU rom or somehow "locking" my bootloader.
P.s. I know very little about this kind of stuff so I apologize if I'm missing something obvious here.

1. flash magisk ( also I suggest using custom rom ,like LOS 18 or something else since miui is garbage )
2. use magisk hide on " play store " and " google play services "
3. reboot
your play store should show certified now
To go further on what was said above, even with a locked bootloader you won't get play certified on a Chinese k20 pro. So if you like miui, flash eu.miui. custom roms are just so much better imo, has better features and you'll get far more updates plus play certified and be able to download Netflix and use Google pay come without needing root on those big roms like evo X, pixel experience, eu.miui ect.
Or the easiest method is to just flash magisk but why would anyone want to use Chinese miui anyway. Eu.miui or custom rom is your best bet.
Did you said you are running MiuWHY?
I just wanna mention that rros 8.6.1 gave me 14hrs of sot
The vendor I bought my device from listed this phone as having a global ROM, which I'm not exactly sure what that means aside from having an unlocked bootloader out of the box. Is there any particular downside to flashing an EU ROM if I live in North America?
And yes I happen to be running MIUI 12 Not the greatest experience but I guess it could be worse?
As for custom ROMs I came to this site a while ago (Mid 2019ish) looking for an Oxygen OS port for this phone and couldn't find anything. If that or even stock Android is available, and will give me a stable experience on this phone, could someone perhaps point me in the direction of the relevant discussion?
Edit: Just to clarify, I would absolutely prefer a custom ROM experience similar to Oxygen OS over MIUI, I'm just not sure what's out there in terms of options. If anyone has a good experience with a particular flashed ROM I'd love to hear it!

Not everyone has their phone for sot! I use mine for game a lot and miui's game turbo is really handy for me, along with floating windows feature. The implementation is very handy.

Hey,
So after being impressed for almost a year with the mi 10 ultra, I got myself the 11 Ultra yesterday. Bought in the Netherlands.
Immediately there was an update to 12.5.3 and installed and transfered everything.
After reading here I really thought I was gonna get the same hassle (bugs) and the need to install the EU custom ROM.
But after about 24 hours of use I noticed.
0 bugs
0 annoyances
The phone doesn't really get hot. Except maybe when I play league of legends on 120fps and 2k screen.
No notification bugs, battery seems decent. Camera amazing..
Anyone else just having a great experience? I don't think I see the need to flash the custom ROM.
I know the list of featured if the custom ROM seems long but I haven't noticed anything different from my 10 ultra custom EU rom.
hi this is how much i understand worth taking global eee rom mi 11 ultra or maybe better take mi 11pro?
I would take the mi 11 ultra over any phone.. and the global rom is pretty good
Original 12.5.3 EEA has some problems:
date on the rear display is shown as mm/dd even if the locale setting is dd/mm.
The date is correct in all the other parts of the UI (ex the lock screen)
Bluetooth smart unlock works only with Mi Bands. Doesn't work even with Mi Watch Lite and Xiaomi Handset Basic that I own.
Of course it doesn't work with any no-Xiaomi-made bluetooth devices (quite annoying indeed)
The Google dialer (the Xiaomi dialer is no longer available) has no call recording function.
Can't hide folders from the Gallery using the .nomedia file.
I got the mi 11 ultra 3 days ago and I'm on 12.0.5 . No new updates found .. even if I change my region to India for example no luck !
I'm in Germany. Any suggestions?

Why exactly? The camera of my previous phone was somehow better for me. The clouds and the ai of the camera application was way better.
I am talking about the Huawei mate 20 pro.

Love making selfies with the main camera using the little screen. Selfies look amazing like a whole different league from front facing selfies.
Also regular pictures I love how the look. So colorful.
The phone feels snappy fast and I haven't noticed any bugs. I have the feeling it works better than the custom EU rom i had on my.mi 10 ultra.
The only thing maybe is that the battery drains a bit faster but maybe it will still learn to work better and I do play a lot of league of legends wild rift at 2k so I guess it's normal

Hey, i wanted to change from Global 12.5.7 to EEA, but it didn't work, even fastboot didn't take.
Is there a guide how to do it?

If your bootloader is unlocked, you can load the fastboot EEA (European version). Just download the Xiaomi MiFlash tool. There are plenty of YouTube videos describing the process. There is also the Xiaomi.EU rom, which is the China rom, minus the Chinese bloat and Google services added in. That is a TWRP install and that is also link on their website.
I don't recommend to install the Xiaomi eu rom as it is not optimized for mi 11 ultra, apps load slower and since it is based on chinese rom it has chinese themes (if you like ur writings in chinese go for it), battery life is more or less the same, if you need to root I still suggest unlock your bootloader, if coming from standard global, unlocking your bootloader will allow you to update to the EEA firmware which is already based on the 12.5.3

It is optimized as it virtually the same rom as the China rom, minus the bloat and Google services added in. There are features not available in the EEA rom that are in the China rom or the EU rom, such as, video recording using the rear display on 21.6.9 or the ability to record your calls, which is also not available on the EEA rom. These features are not available on the global rom either. So if you are a vlogger/content creator, the Xiaomi.eu rom is probably your best option.

Hi there,
Unlock Bootloader and go to EEA 12.5.3 or higher. 12.0.XX is a pretty basic Android 11 ROM but many people like it. EEA visually looks better and so far no issues.
I had for a moment Android 12 Beta 1 installed but has returned to 12.5.3 because camera apps was missing.
Regards

There's an awfully lot less crap installed on Eu ROM by default and mine hasn't had Chinese writing in it since...... Ever
Not a single Character

Same here on both 10 and 11 Ultra, no Chinese. Also, how is it not optimised for the 11 ultra when it is based on the stock Chinese 11 Ultra ROM? App loading time can be many of many reasons including your own apps you install from your own selection.
I have used the stock Chinese and Global ROMs on both Ultra's and my preference is for the EU custom ROM, I just think it has the best of all four available ROMs included and even as I use the weekly beta version, there has never been any show stoppers and any minor issues, as it is a beta version, get fixed quick. If you use a stable non EU version, you would have to wait for a few weeks to get it fixed and even longer with Global and EEA as their updates are packaged up in much fewer updates.
But it's everyone's own choice, but this is mine.
Guys whatsapp was loading ****ty slow, as well as tapatalk, I had 3 apps installed as personal, chinese themes lead to chinese characters, yes rom had some nice feature,but nothing I can't live without, both rom can be debloated and I find xiaomi eu full of useless stuff as well.

What's useless in Eu ROM ?
Lot of xiaomi services for example, I never understand why custom roms come with so much stuff preinstalled, they should leave just basic services and leave the user the ability to install the app and services they want. If they want to keep services and stuff they could still make different versions of the same rom
Hi, I have a 11 ultra Chinese version, after waiting 7 days to unlock and all of bugging twrp installation, I finished to put stable xiaomi.eu Rom on it. But somehow I find that eu rom now have a lot of small bugs.
Don't know that should keep it or go to global rom?
Xiaomi EU is overstimated, it may be good for west people who wants a debloated and translated china rom with Google services,but Global Rom is much better and also is faster

i will give eu a last try after an fresh installation ...
I didn't try myself the China ROM but I read it is more performing than the Xiaomi EU as well as Global and EEA stock ROMs
When I got my Mi 11 Ultra I started the process to unlock it right away since it uses the Chinese rom. However, by the time it was ready to be unlocked I decided it wasn't worth the hassle. The Chinese rom with the Google playstore installed does everything I need it to do. I don't really see any reason to change to the global or eu rom so far.

The Global Indian (IN) ROM is smaller in size as compared to the Global (IM) ROM and they are pretty much identical.
The IN ROM though has the Red Dot notification light displayed in the Rear Display when there is any notification.

Edit:
So this option is available in the Global MI Rom but you may also have to enable another setting which might not be 'enabled' by default.
Notification Access > Rear Display > Allow Notification Access
A regular notification option is available but it is pretty limited. I think it is for Spotify integration (music control) and Answering the Phone.

Quite content with the Global MI ROM
By IN ROM you mean Indian? Because the standard Global is easily rootable
Chinese rom is the best one. 120Hz everywhere.
Latest patches latest updates but no Ok google and no android auto. (At least in old versions of software)
I didn’t like global rom because many apps including YouTube is not working at 120hz.
Obviously China ROM is more updated and more refined,

1. MiUi dialler & Contacts - Didn't like it. Prefer Google
2. MiUi power down screen - Didn't like it. Still prefer Global ROM screen.
3. Google Assistant didn't work from lockscreen. It has to be running in the background for it to work from lockscreen (fingerprint protected)
The CN ROM does have some extra neat animations (like Battery Charging animations) which I would look to have. But I can do without it.
In Global MI ROM, Google Assistant is a system app I guess. So it's in the background by default? It works well from lockscreen.
Red dot notification in rear display works on Global MI ROM but doesn't work on the CN ROM. The Xiaomi.eu's (CN) ROM.

I would love to test video. I don't quite know how to check the Hz. Honestly I haven't tested my phone yet.

IN ROM latest fastboot ROM is v12.0.2.0 and then OTA update to v12.5.2.0.
I didn't know if I would lose root so I thought Global MI ROM is better. Lot more fastboot ROM releases and perhaps some added features looking at the version number and size of the MI fastboot Rom.
I need a Chinese ROM without the Chinese programs only

Xiaomi.eu all day. Faster updates, more tweaks and features over both stock CN and global. I immediately went Xiaomi.eu and haven't looked back.
please read what happened to me and i dont know how to solve it -
mi 11 pro .
a week ago i upgreade my "eu rom stable" and suddenly today im facing a strange problems:
"the facebook,telegram,whatsapp-are not opening"
im getting a phone calls and sms , but when im clicking on those apps , they just dont open .
i tried to uninstall them and to install them from the begininig , but nothing .
i didnt touch any settings on the phone , its just surprised me and i dont know what to do .
i entered my twrp recovery and im in the twrp i saw unusuall red raws with mention to these 3 apps , i dont know what is the meaning and i cant photo it
when you have so a lot of problems with the phone the best is FORMAT DATA and make a fresh Install
