Hi everyone
First, I didn't find an answer form my question via search. Sorry if there is already one.
I'm now with an Global Mi 8 with Global ROM MIUI 9 9.6 (9.6.4.0 (OEAMIFD) and locked Bootloader. That's how my MI 8 got out of the box (so, the official Global version).
I want to flash the Gloabl Developer ROM 8.8.30 from the official MIUI Homepage (http://en.miui.com/download-346.html). As there is also a ZIP ROM Version for flashing via Recovery I want to ask wether it's safe to flash this. The verification process said no problems, just that all Data is erased. This is ok.
Is it safe to flash this way or is there a danger for a brick if the Bootloader is not unlocked?

It's safe to switch from global stable to global beta rom thru the updater, it won't brick your device.

Hello,
I was in your case with the same version.
No problem for me, I downloaded the version like you via the link then going through system update of the phone.
My bootloader is not unlocked
I'm currently on China Stable (miui9), bootloader isn't unlocked yet, what would happen if I flash globlal beta rom (miui10) (zip) via updater recovery?
It worked. Thanks

If your device is Chinese, you gonna brick it without unlocked bootloader.
So unlock it, flash then stay unlocked.
Is it possible to downgrade from 10 beta to stable 9 with recovery rom?
For the people who did. Did it erase everything on the phone? I am thinking of trying miui 10 but am too lazy to re-setup everything

Yes, it erases everything, back up all your data first, and save it on your computer
Hello,
I would like to flash Global Beta Rom on Global Stable rom thru adapter, but after touch 3 dots I do not have opportunity to choose the zip.
Do you have any suggestions how to do it?
Hello.
Click 10 times on the miui10 logo and submenu will appear.
Have fun
Thanks, it works :good:
Lol wrong thread
Hi all,
I tried rooting stock Rom (EEA) by flashing magisk 19.3 trough TWRP however this results in bootloop.
Is there a possibility to root stock rom? if not which miui.eu version do i need (i want to stay on android 9 for now)?
I heard other people with the same problem who were on global miui and i think by installing the eu rom they were able to install and root by magisk or alternatively you could try the beta magisk 19.4 ive heard some have had sucess with that to. Is your device Mi9t or K20 pro? Also which reocery did you use id be interested to know how you get on because i will be able to unlock my bootloader tomorow and i would like to root also.
Hi All
Pulled the trigger last night and ordered a 256GB 11 Ultra from Wonda. The wait for the next couple of weeks will be painful haha.
This will be the first Xiaomi I've used having previously used Samsung and Oneplus etc. How easy is it to flash the EU rom? Does it need to be rooted or unlocked BL first?
Thanks

Xiaomi phones are allowed to have their bootloaders to be unlocked and welcome custom ROMs. There is one previso, you have to wait a week ( 168 hours). You must agree and fully bond your phone with your Xiaomi account first. Then using the online or mi unlock tool you start the process. Once successfully started, you wait a week and then go back to the online or tool and actually do the unlock. This reboots your phone and formats the data, so have an off phone back up or data source.
Once unlocked, you can install custom ROMs like the EU ROM, which I will use when Available. 2 methods of flashing custom ROMs, fastboot via a PC or TWRP recovery. When a TWRP recovery is available, this is the easiest method but as this tends to be a while after the phones release, you tend to have to update by pc and fastboot for a while. To replace stock recovery with TWRP recovery, you again use a pc and fastboot the TWRP over your stock recovery and then boot direct to it and flash a TWRP .zip ROM when available. Of course you don't need to format each update, only if you change ROM branches. The EU ROM has a stable and both weekly ROM versions. Both are based on stock Chinese but made more like a global ROM. Their ROMs are the best choice if you want a good custom ROM based still in Xiaomi miui system.
You don't need to root to do any of the above. If you want to see my guide I wrote when the 10 Ultra was released, take a look at my guide here... https://mega.nz/file/fIoWUD4a#q1S3wYoOltgaPcchAiXc3dHal7Sf31k5BZQBM4xy6NE
It takes you through ensuring your phone is bonded with your Xiaomi account, unlocking, flashing by fastboot, installing TWRP, flashing by TWRP, updating and changing ROM branches. I will release a 11 Ultra version later this month when mine arrives but it should be no different in process.
Just don't expect kernel sources to be released complete...
But after changing to the global rom, will it update automatically?
Or do we have to do it manually?

You need to do it manually with the batch file. As long as there is no TWRP for that model OTA will not work unfortuantely.

Thank you for the replay. Thats is the only reason i will have to wait for the global variant.
Thought I read it someone if one flashes stock eu rom over China rom using mi flash too jar... you can lock bootloader back and it will receive OTA.
Is this information wrong ?

Guys someone successfully flashed Global rom on CN version phone ?
Hi i have a Chinese version mi 11 ultra. Is there any way I can flash the office beta MIUI? Do I need to unlock bootloader? If yes, can i relock it after? I'm not interested in flashing any customs ROM.
Cheers!
Also the MOST IMPORTANT THING!
DOES OFFICIAL MIUI CHINA BETA PASS SAFETY NET?
China public weekly beta release is on hold currently while internal testing continues before release, so you will have to wait I'm afraid.
You will need to unlock your bootloader and format data due to the partition differences between stable and weekly and as it is unreleased, not sure about safetynet or relocking bootloader.
I would like to ask if it is possible to install the China ROM beta or stable via twrp using the .zip firmware you can find on mifirm instead of using the PC and miflashtool

Have been trying to do that, it's impossible because TWRP can't read the recovery file from Xiaomi
Ah ok because on the website they claim using the zip ROM you can do it

Do u finish flashing china rom?
No I didn't try to flash it via twrp, and at the moment I don't have my PC till Sunday When I will via miflashtool, unless I can flash it with twrp using the zip rom
I tried flashing the CN beta via twrp but I can't even copy it locally to my phone as it just returns errors. When I open the .zip file, there's a payload.bin in there which I suspect is why it's not being recognized.
How you cannot copy it locally? I simply downloaded it on the phone
I'm currently using the official china rom latest enhanced miui stable, I wanted to switch to the weekly build, so I've downloaded the zip file but when trying to flash through system updater, it says you onely flash beta stable!!! I have the bootloader unlocked, I think we are not allowed to switch to the weekly builds for some reason unless there is another way to flash the weekly rom, another thing is that there is no fastboot version for the weeklies so I can try with miflash tool.

Well, I asked a YouTuber making some great tutorials for unlocking, flashing, rooting, unbricking... Xiaomi devices, on how I can flash the weekly build, he said that I can onely if the bootloader is locked, I tried but didn't succeed, upon information verification, it says you can only flash the stable beta! I assume it's impossible to flash those weekly unless you're a beta tester or something like this.
I think to install those you need to agree to the insider program and flash them via the official updater, I don't think there is another way

You just need to root with patched boot from your Chinese official ROM
Then flash the removing protection module with magisk
Then update to beta with stock updater app

I have updated to the latest MIUI Global 13,0,2,0 and I NEED ROOT ACCESS, how do i go about it now?
i know it cant be done via trwp but fastboot...
i downloaded the miui_STARGlobal_V13.0.2.0.SKAMIXM_eecc15ab63_12.0 but there is no boot.img inside??? (that is the rom version i currently have installed)
PLEASE help me root my device
1. Yes and it takes 168 hours to complete and ends with a format. Use official mi unlock tool.
2. There is only one custom ROM. It is the Xiaomi EU ROM and available on that forum or via mifirm.net
3. Safetynet will not pass while on a rooted ROM. Unless you use magisk. My question is why do you need root? The Xiaomi EU ROM passes safteynet and all you banks, gpay etc work fine without root. There is no working twrp on A12, all A12 updates on Xiaomi EU ROM are fastboot.
4. Plenty of guides in this or the Xiaomi EU forum for 11 Ultra but obviously there is always risk in flashing but even when bricked, these can be brought back to life with the help of anyone with an edl account.

Awesome, thank you kindly for that great reply,
2) is that custom Rom any better than stock or has some sort of advantage over stock? Extra features, programs, tweeks...?
This custom rom come pre-rooted?
3) i don't need root for anything in particular, I've always had root on every single Android I've ever owned, once in a blue moon it comes in handy, i do plan on using magisk,
- from memory mine came with Android 11 Global, will twrp work on that?
5) That 1 custom rom, does it receive updates or voids warranty? And it is possible to revert back to stock but not downgrade Android versions...?

2. We call it "custom" but it just stock miui China rom of 11U with some mod for working in global area
As u know if u unlock phone, some app will not work normally (like banking, Google pay, Netflix...) they already fix almost all of the problem like that. And every default app can be uninstall easily (but xiaomi already have the way to uninstall thêm too).
And it isn't pre-rooted
3. If u dont want to do anything with root, i recommend u to stay away from it.
A11 is working fine with twrp, u can find official twrp in forums
MIUI 13 (A12) isn't.

You mentioned if I unlock my phone some apps won't work... You mean if I root my phone right? There's magisk hide that Helps to bypass these restrictions...
If there's no custom ROMs or special mods then I don't see the point in installing twrp? Unless there's advantages of twrp on Xiaomi phones?
Can I root the current stock firmware that's installed now on my device ?

with me, i just need twrp when i want to use xiaomi.eu rom, they usually realease recovery zip file for update rom. But now still no working twrp with A12, so they realease fastboot rom, and i dont want to use xiaomi.eu rom anymore so i dont care about twrp
yes. u can always comeback to stock with flash fastboot rom (or recovery rom with working twrp)
i prefer fastboot rom because i just think it's cleaner than recovery (LOL)
And with fastboot method, u can relock bootloader if u want, just need to carefully pick the right rom of your phone original. (eg: global unit can only relock using global rom, eea with eea rom, CN with CN rom)

And here i talk about official fastboot rom, thanks
You're misinformed.
They offer the official rom, all they do is to pack it in a fastboot installer.
Again, official rom, repacked. I'd advise a fact check because you are active in answering people, but your knowledge is obviously partial.
