i'm little bit confused about unlocking the bootloader on an mi5 device. I read somewhere that it's not needed if you use the updater app on the phone. i think this is only true for official rom's which came from en.miui.com it self?
can i use the updater app if i want to install the official en.miui.com 8 global rom without unlocking the bootloader?
if i want to install an xiaomi.eu rom, i will have to unlock the bootloader first?
does root on an official rom need an unlocked bootloader too?
there are more then one way to flash an rom on an mi5 device, updater app, fastboot and miflash tool, twrp(which is not preinstalled i mean?). but i read something about an edl mode, but cant find out what this does mean? is this maybe the fastboot and miflash tool mode?
many thanks!
best regards

Hello there,
what ROM are you running currently? Broadly speaking, you have 2 tools to change the ROM on Your device: the updater app and Fastboot (miflash uses fastboot too, and twrp requires fastboot to be installed). The updater app allows you only to upgrade your current ROM to the newest version. Fastboot (and the related tools) allow you to change ROM completely (e.g. switching from China Stable to China Dev or from China Stable to Global Stable or from China Stable to miui.eu Stable), and will also allow you to root your device through TWRP. To use fastboot, however, you will need to unlock Your bootloader.
Regarding EDL mode, it is the Miui stock recovery mode, which can be used together with the Xiaomi desktop application to flash new ROMs. It is not a widely used method, because the desktop app is quite buggy.
hello
many thanks for your replay.. i'm currently on miui 8, the global alpha version, so i already do an flash.. your answer is toop, again thanks for that!! but there are some new questions, edl is the miui stock recovery mode, does this mean the recovery as i know it already in a form from recovery.img? if i also want root i will have to flash twrp, this would then mean that the miui stock recovery (edl) wouldn't work anymore? so if i want to go back to an official global rom, do i need to flash the stock miui recovery first? the way to do that would be through fastboot? where can i get the stock miui recovery?
have an nice day!

I want to have stock rom with TWRP and Magisk, but I have fallen so far
My X2 Pro EU Is unlocked, with TWRP (same situation official and TWRP 3.3.1-11) ... and bootloop instead of rom
Stock OZIP does not install correctly. What should I do? Search for stock recovery, install stock rom and try TWRP again?

Hello guys! As you all know that there is no deeptest.apk available for our device. So we have to unlock our bootloader unofficially! NOTE: IF U HAVEN'T UPGRADED AFTER A19 ROM THEN SKIP FIRST PART !!! And follow the instructions from 2nd part...
