Got the phone from Hong Kong, I want to install TWRP and root, but not sure if I have the developer rom or the international rom?
How does one tell which one you have?
As I know doesn't exist an global version yet...
You only could have an original stable or developer.
Thinking when you ordered in HK you should have one of these...
Some international stores install an shop ROM, as I know it's that the worst case..
BTW: I changed from stable to developer and think there are less bloat inside and the quality of camera seems like better
Not sure if this is related to the ROM or not, but MIUI version says "MIUI Global 8.0 | Stable 8.0.7.0.0"
I'm assuming the shop in HK installed something as it was already in English when I got the phone. The stock roms don't have English do they?
I just want to be sure I install the right TWRP version......
They do. But you mostlikely have the edited chinese rom. If you check the software in the details should say MIUI Global 8.
If thats the version you have then install the normal twrp.
I tried all the roms and ended up going back to the one that came with with a nand backup i made of the "shop" rom.
The eu rom is very buggy and had speed issues.

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
Hello,
currently I have MIUI9 Global Stable 9.2.1.0 (NAHMIEK) installed on my phone.
When browsing about roms for my mi mix, I found something about MIUI 9.5 on Xiaomi.eu
The ROM is called V9.5.1.0.NAHCNFA_v9-7.0.zip
I noticed it's a china rom, while mine is a global one.
Does anyone know something about this rom? Is it MIUI9 and a higher version than the one I have installed right now?
I'm wondering about this rom, because there's a list of features which are included in this ROM, which says that they have optimized some things, added stuff, fixed problems, better RAM management etc.
https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/8-3-8.43553/
What also makes me wonder is, that when I go to miui.com/download, I can choose between stable rom Global and China.
Global says V9.2.1.0.NAHMIEK (MIUI9) - so the one I'm using - and V9.5.1.0.NAHCNFA (MIUI8) which seems to be the rom I was looking for on xiaomi.eu
Could someone explain this to me?

If you are using English you can use either, not sure on the difference, you will have to use miflash if you haven't got TWRP installed. Be careful not to relock bootloader if it's unlocked. No playstore with Chinese ROM but it's easy enough to install, might be better using epic.
Hello
I'm about to purchase an Mi 9 for my son. I can only buy it online, since no physical stores have it where i live. It's not officially released where i live. I think that the phone will come with the global rom.
I saw in a youtube video, that the phone will drain battery in standby mode. Since there is a bug that make the phone try to connect to both the Chineese and the European networks. It could be fixed by installing the EU rom. There was also many other good reasons to flash the Eu rom. Like for instance a cleaner firmware with less bloat. Is this true?
Can i flash an Eu rom on a global version without unlocking the booloader?
If I unlock the bootloader to flash the EU rom. Can it then be locked again? (Because of Netflix)
Thanks
Yes its true that EU Rom is debloated and have fixed Networks
But You can Not lock the bootloader in the EU Rom.
And yes Netflix is Widevine Level 3 but i dont know Who can See a diffference on a Smartphone Display. Btw as i know You can Download Movies in HD and watch them. Only streaming is Not HD
Thanks
Just called support from the web shop. He told me that, it is a EU version.

There are two ROMs that I think you are confusing. There's an EU version of the stock ROM which is virtually identical to the Global ROM and there is a custom EU ROM which is probably what you saw in the YouTube video.
The custom EU ROM is reverse engineered from the China ROM rather than the Global. It was originally created to provide a non-Chinese ROM for Xiaomi phones that didn't have an official Global ROM.
The EU ROM has always had serious bugs on every single phone where I have ever flashed it. You should go to the official website for that ROM and look at the discussion/support thread and see if that's still the case.
The EU ROM you are referring to is a custom ROM. You need to unlock the bootloader to flash it and frequently you need to use an unnoficial version of TWRP to do that. People often brick their phones using unofficial TWRP recoveries. Permanently bricking a phone is also way more common on newer Treble compliant phones than it was in the old days so even if you have experience flashing custom ROMs you can still brick your phone and turn it into an expensive paperweight.
I would do more research outside of XDA if you are interested in EU ROM because there is no support for that ROM here.
sorry for the noob post, this is my 1st xiaomi phone
ey guys, just bought this phone a few days back and im waiting for my ubl counter for 3 more days. im not new to phones in general. i used to have a sam gal s2 and s5, and the devs there always recommended the latest released official stock base before using roms.
my question is
currently, i bought this phone as global stable 11.0.5.0 indonesian pcn_ID_xm and updated to 11.0.7.0. i want to change base stock to pcn_CN_xm (fewer bloat and stuff). or is there a better option/opinion?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-redmi-8/how-to/rom-miui-11-xiaomi-eu-t4006247
i just want to have a safe backup in case i need the base firmware before trying to install mods, like odin.
I can't understand you bro. Are you saying that: "How can I change the version of my phone?"
https://mifirm.net/model/olive.ttt
is the site legit? official stock firmwares being able to install by settings - about phone - system update - selecting the zip from the menu without unlocking the bootloader?
i guess "region" would be the better word. currently its a global stable "indonesian region", but im tempted to switch to a global stable "eu region". is there anything important to know when switching official regions?
firest your phone will be out of warranty
see this guide
https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2
yep already got all those, but what im asking for is on older phones with full system root (not magisk systemless root), later firmwares from late countries usually have better performance.
is that still true with current a/b partitions?
Does anybody know if you were to revert back to the phones original firmware (Chinese) from the EU ROM would it be possible to relock the bootloader safely. Thought I heard that this wasn't possible but now I'm not sure as this was some time ago.
Yu can, by using song miflash. BUT only with the firmware wat was on it... So global phone can't get locked with CN build and vice versa
After posting it seems some people have problems with Google syncing and such so for for someone paid someone not in China maybe it's not the best option for someone outside China.
I'm using the weekly beta CN version (A12) for months now and didn't have any issues. Syncing works without problems and since I disabled (removed) the powerkeeper all messages arrive on time. Let's say with my kind of phone usage I didn't have any problems or heat ups. Therefore using as daily driver and didn't regret it.
Also tried .eu, GLOBAL and EEA versions. But always came back to the CN weekly one.
Great, so is the weekly Chinese A12 already up to MIUI 13? Maybe I'll just go ahead and give it a try.

[PORT] BETA MIUI A12

Never had an issue with it. But if you are coming from another version I strongly recommend to do a "full install with wipe" the first time. Otherwise you will run into issues here and there. In worst case just get into bootloop. So backup and use the first version from install.bat with wipe.
From 27.12.2021 on it is already on MiUi 13 "beta". But you won't see really a difference. The MiUi in use here might be more in the background. But no visible change from the weekly/daily 12.5.
