Is it possible to unlock Mi5 from Global Stable/Dev roms? - Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers

Hey guys now I use a Xiaomi Redmi 3 but I intend to purchase a Mi 5. I want to know is it possible to unlock Mi 5 from Global roms? As local seller selling it with Global rom. Also Is there any guide to Flash Chinese rom from Global roms? Thanks.

Yes, it is. I unlocked it while on global stable MIUI 8.

suggestion: Wait for the device to arrive because sometime the vendor says on thing but the reality is another.
AKA : a fake ROM ... in this scenario the steps to take are more complex (but plenty of guides here and in other forums)
For the official procedure there is a place on the miui website with good informations: http://en.miui.com/a-232.html

No, you don't need to unlock your phone. Just follow the flashing guide: http://en.miui.com/a-232.html
Use the Updater app built into MIUI. That's the easiest way. MIUI 8 stable (China and Global) has been out for a while now.

Xiaomi mi 9 off gearbest

Hi everyone I recently purchased the xiaomi mi 9 off gearbest during a flash sale because it was such a great deal. I should be getting it this week, it supposedly cones with the global rom but some users are having trouble getting Google pay to work . So I was thinking of just flashing the global rom. But well looking around I see there's a global rom and EU rom. What's the difference between the two and which should I choose?
Global Rom and EEA are official miui roms, the first for worldwide, second is specific for Europe (but you can't find this one if you buy your phone on Gearbest).
Xiaomi.eu is a third part rom developed for worldwide, based on China official rom but debloated from chinese things etc.
If you want to use Gpay without any issue you have to stay on Global and locked bootloader.

You didn't find it.
I heard about GPS parameters, mobile operators etc. I am on Global Dev, passed from EEA but i haven't seen relevant changes in those things, i am in Europe too, from Italy. So, don't worry, choose the one you like more.
In my opinion Global Developer 9.6.27 is the best official rom, at the moment, but it won't update due to xiaomi's choice. If you don't want to wait for a complete daily use rom, then choose xiaomi eu. My only doubt is about gpay and nfc payments, on mi8 it works without any error, but on Mi9 maybe needs a fix. You can find it here on xda in several threads

I don't know the differences between EU and Global ROM. I live in Germany and my Mi 9 had the Global ROM.
Google Pay works on unlocked (and rooted) devices with a workaround. But who knows if this will still work with the next Google updates.
- https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/magisk-google-pay-gms-17-1-22-pie-t3929950
I am on Xiaomi.EU ROM 9.7.22 now and Google Pay works (I payed the last days with the Mi 9 in stores), although I dirty flashed it over the previous Xiaomi.EU ROM version. But still, the next Google update can make this workaround useless.
If you don't want to unlock your device (unlock bootloader) you can still debloat the ROM from unwanted apps easily using this tool:
- https://github.com/Saki-EU/XiaomiADBFastbootTools
This worked on my Xiaomi Mi 9 before I unlocked it. But since I wanted the 84Hz Display Mod and therefore I had to unlock my device I of course flashed a custom ROM (Xiaomi.EU). I mean, who would stay on that bloated ROM when there are debloated ROMs with almost the same (or even better) experience?

Questions about K20 Pro from China

I wanted to buy K20 Pro 8/256 version since they didn't release it here in Europe. But i have some question regarding ROM. I wanted to buy it on aliexpress for example here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33025436528.html there are versions with Chinese rom and Global rom, so what i want to ask:
1. If i understand correctly it's a chinese market version with installed Global (indian) rom, is that right?
2. Does this Indian Global rom receive OTA updates?
3. From what I've read there is chinese ROM for this phone (english+chinese), Indian one and Global/EU one (? see next question)
4. But these are also 2 versions of the phone itself, Chinese and Indian? Or did I hear wrong? I heard its better to buy Indian one, but where can I find it?
5. Is it possible to install Mi 9T Pro Global EU rom on this phone? Is it even out yet?
6. I know that the bootloader will be unlocked, so the only way to relock it is to install Chinese rom, am i right? (I mean i heard that banking apps don't like unlocked phones)
7. I heard about Xiaomi.eu but I'm not really a fan of fan-made roms. I mean most of my past phones were working on stock roms since i didn't really feel the need to change it. But if there might be some problems with Indian ROM, maybe is it worth to check it out?
Thanks in advance

The Indian version is missing NFC hardware. The Chinese model also has a couple more LTE bands unlocked, but none that you'll care about in Europe. So as far as hardware is concerned, the Chinese model is better. It is the Indian ROM that is better, but it does have the NFC chip software disabled, so you'll lose NFC functionality with the Indian ROM on a Chinese phone.
Originally, the Chinese phones sold with a global ROM had fake global ROMs installed. Once the Indian variant was released they started to install the official Indian ROM. Now that the official EEA ROM is available, some sellers may start to install that instead of the Indian ROM. In theory, if they are installing untouched official ROMs, then they should have OTA working.
Yes the Mi 9T Pro ROM is now available.
Yes you will hard brick the phone if you try to lock the bootloader with an official ROM that is not the same region as the phone.
You should be able to overcome issues with banking apps, etc. by flashing Magisk and installing appropriate Magisk modules.
Xiaomi.eu is a little bit more than a fan made ROM. It is a community developed ROM, but it has been going almost as long as MIUI itself. They have worked in collaboration with Xiaomi through the years, helping Xiaomi to globalise some of their apps, with Xiaomi reciprocating by helping occasionally with the Xiaomi.eu ROMs. The ROMs themselves take official Chinese MIUI source code as its base, the team then add many languages to make it global, remove all bloatware and adware and as much unneeded, Chinese centric MIUI apps as possible, then add some of there own customisation and tweaks.

Question Can I install MIUI eu ROM on Indian variant of Redmi note 10 Pro(sweetin)

The Redmi Note 10 Pro(Indian)(sweetin) has the same specs as the Redmi Note 10 Pro (global) except for the camera which is a 64MP sensor. I want to install to install MIUI EU ROM from the xiaomi.eu website. The model listed in the website has the codename 'sweet' which refers to the global edition with the 108MP. Most blogs and youtube videos with instruction to install the ROM for my model direct me to the official link of the xiaomi.eu webiste which is for the 108MP edition. I want to confirm that there won't be any major errors after installing the ROM. https://m.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_redmi_note_10_pro_(india)-10771.php

As some users mentioned already in this forum you probably will have some problems with the camera colours ...
"If you have the Redmi Note 10 Pro (Indian variant with 64 MP) and you flash a non-Indian MIUI ROM, such as EU,MMX,Global,EEA etc, you will experience a green/blue tint in the camera. Flash this magisk module to remove the tint.

Hi, have an Indian Redmi Note 10 Pro Max (with sweetin ROM). Recently I flashed the Indonesian version (sweet ROM Version 12.5.4) and past 10 days it is working well. I did not lock the bootloader after flashing. Now that the Indonesian ROM is working fine on my phone, can I reflash the Indonesian ROM and lock the bootloader (clean all & lock option) ? Pls let me know if it is safe to do so. Btw I used the MI Flash tool to do all this after unlocking it with Mi Unlocker tool. Downloaded the Indonesian ROM from XiaomiFirmwareUpdater Site.
