Mi8 how to get MIUI10 without unlocking bootloader? - Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers

I've just bought MI8 Global Version with locked bootloader,how can I get MIUI10 without unlocking it ?
I'd rather not experiment,because I'm seeing many topcis on xiaomi's forums about bricked phones etc.
Be patient please,I'm as green as grass about that.

You just have to wait until a stable version of MIUI becomes available via OTA update. (no date given yet, could be weeks, would be months)

The only way to flash a rom with locked bootloader is via edl but xiaomi recently blocked it so you can't do anything. Send a bootloader unlock request and wait.
Also do not update your global rom via ota if your mi8 is china version, you are going to brick your phone

After unlocking the bootloader and flashing miui 10 global may I lock bootloader again without any brick and other problems?
I know it happens with china version but what about global version

I updated my global Mi8 from stock to MIUI 10 Dev beta by just downloading the update file and installing using the stock updater.

If your phone is china version with a global rom on it you can't lock the bootloader or you will brick. If your phone is a global version you can run miui global and lock the bootloader no problems, but you can't run miui China and lock bootloader or you will brick

It says it's MIUI9 not 10.
Or after installing it you got update to MIUI10 by OTA ?

Maybe its your mobile operator's fault.
He may not support LTE or you aren't in area of LTE net

No i don't think it's my mobile operator problem, and not only xiaomi phones have 2 different icons for each market. So it could be for Europe LTE and other countries 4G.

I think that's more than likely what's going on. I've had numerous Asian market phones and they display 4G for LTE.

The version that you received is android Pie?
Because since my bootloader is based in android Pie, and Miui has anti-role back feature, i cannot install oreo based versions.
The phone is a chinese version and had the bootloader unlocked.
But with a update it locked and now it enters in recovery mode (enters in recovery mode and only enables flashing zip files).
The rom that it has is the global 8.9.20 and it only accepts roms of the same version or above in chinese (to fix the soft brick)...

For now you can, anti-var=1 for 9.0 builds, which means anti rollback is not yet enabled. So yes u can go dwon to 8.0 for now. But this does not apply for builds in the future, check your anti-var number first!

It can be true if you have the bl unlocked and flash it by fastboot.
Since i have bl locked and i'm stuck with recovery mode, i can only flash it using beta MI PC suite or http://www.xiaomitool.com/
By recovery i tried to downgrade from MI8Global_8.9.20 to MI8_8.9.6 and it gives this messages:
With mi pc suite:

With xiaomi tool:
If i try the MI8Global_8.9.6 (that is android 8.0) it says:
So i must use Android 9.0 based roms.
That's why that i'm trying to download the MI8_8.9.20 (chinese) to flash it via recovery.
If you have any way to unbrick my phone via fastboot with locked bl and without going via edl, i will appreciate your help.
Thanks

Hi Ru13en,
I'm in exactly the same boat as you. I have had pretty much the same experience as you've had with locking the bootloader with the Global Rom at. I locked my bootloader with Global Stable 10.0.2.0 and managed to use XiaomiToolsADB to get unto Global Developer ROM 8.9.20. Of course, the phone stayed in a bootloop and refused to accept any other ROM, saying that they are all older versions. I've been on the hunt for the Chinese beta 8.9.20 since.
You've now tried it and although you have two other errors, it seems like the real error is that it isn't released to the public yet.
Apparently, that should change this Friday. I'd add the link but my account is new. Suffice to say, that on the Chinese Xiaomi forums, they say the Chinese dev rom for 8.9.20 was delayed due to the Chinese holidays. But the schedule is to be released to the public this Friday October 12th.
I'm hopeful that we are correct in thinking that attempting to flash the Chinese 8.9.20 dev rom will allow the phone to boot. Because otherwise, I'm fresh out of ideas!

Hi 00DicE00,
Sorry to hear that you have the same issue as me...
I know that each friday they launch a new dev ROM and we had infortune to get our phones stuck in Chinese holidays.
Friday i will check in mi foruns for the chinese public dev beta and try it on the phone.
If it works, i will make a tutorial in mi forum and xdadev to help soft bricked mi 8 phones (hard bricked, must use edl method that requires edl authorized account, which sucks).
If it doesn't work, well since i have warranty and this phone came with unlocked bootloader.
I will request refund, because i payed it as a global version and not a chinese unlocked with global rom -.-
Those that don't have warranty, should ask or buy the unlock via edl (that requires opening the phone, use edl pin and edl authorized account to reflash stock rom)
So tomorrow i will post news in this topic
Hi Ru13en,
The thing I don't understand are the version numbers for MIUI.
The rom I had when I locked my bootloader was MIUI 10.02.0 Global stable. Of course, being a Global rom with a locked bootloader, it bricked the phone. I understand that.
But then I tried to flash MIUI 10.0.5.0 Chinese stable. This is higher than 10.0.2.0 Global stable isn't it? Why did this not work? I got the same message you did saying "Sorry, flash lower version not allowed". I don't understand this.
How does MIUI number their versions? Is it different in the Chinese stable versions to what is in the Global stable versions?

To make sideload you must use dev versions and not stable versions (ota validation will not autorize you to make such update giving errors like lower, or public stable version).
Also, normally the number of Chinese versions are higher than Global versions, but it doesn't mean that they are the latest.
Because, since now the latest roms are allways created in Global version and then converted to Chinese version (with a bigger number).

Indian Rom already comes with Widevime L1 so not sure why you have L3. Did you do a clean flash?
I am on India ROM as well with L3. Did a clean flash but it didnt change anything. To me thats not an issue though.

Negative ! It's always been L1 on Xiaomi Global Devices on unlocked Bootloaders. See below ! My bootloader is unlocked. Xiaomi doesn't do that ****ery on Global Devices. What you're telling holds true for OnePlus and Asus.

Umm, you are wrong. Indian variant and Indian rom. Unlocked bootloader. Widevine was still L1. But I got bored with it and switched to Android Q. As soon as I flashed xiaomi EU rom, it switched to L3. But, you are right about one thing. To get L1 back, you have to flash the stable and relock. However, as long as you don't flash another rom, you can unlock again and the L1 stays(confirmed by multiple flashing).
My redmi note 7 pro on pixel experience is still L1 intact..... Hence I assume it is same with k20 pro also?

Then it'll work for you . There is no global ROM for Raphael at this moment hence there will be no L1 support for now. OP has a Raphael and flashing the Raphaelin ROM will not magically enable L1 because Raphael doesn't support L1
Prime video is still not streaming with HD even though my device has L1..... It's shows max as 480p......any suggestions

I really do hope, that after release of a global rom in the following days, there will be a divine intervention, that will bring L1 to Chinese variant. It's such a bs... like I understand the lack of bands, but why damn certification??

P30 PRO L29. v 9.1.0.241

Hello,
I'm new in forum. Hello everybody.
I have a doubt. I live in Spain but I'm not sure if my sw version is appropriate to my region because other colleagues don't have the same 9.1 version.
I currently have the EMUI 9.1.0.241 (C461E4R1P5patch02) GPU Turbo.
I am not able to receive update to EMUI 10.
Have I the correct sw EMUI version for Spain? Can I do anything to swap to the correct version?

Hi m8,
Maybe your friends have C431 or C432 phone custs rather then your, C461. But that's ok, if you want to update to EMUI 10, you can download your firmware version from here - HUAWEI P30 PRO VOG-L29 HW CEA VOGUE-L29C 10.0.0.173(C461) (it's faster from your phone rather PC) and using an OTG adapter or OTG Cable or an Huawei NM Card you can have EMUI 10. Read and follow my guide from here.
Feel free to ask if you have more questions.
Silviuo
Thanks very much.
Could you tell me the difference between C341-C342 and C461?
I should investigate if my current version fits me or not before making any change (I wouldn't like to make a full new installation from zero because I don't like make backups)

C431 - European cust and mostly used by carriers to add their customised software
C432 - International and European cust
C461 - European, Middle East and Africa version
C431&C432 have country vendor as EEA, or the European Economic Area, combines the member countries of the European Union (EU) (it was made to be sold in EU).
C461 has country vendor as EMEA, which is a shorthand designation meaning Europe, the Middle East and Africa (IT was made to be sold in Europe, the Middle East or Africa).
If you want to see for what countries it was made your phone you need to type in dialer *#*#2846579#*#* then Network info-on query>Country Vendor Info>Vendor (it will surelly be EMEA and not EEA as mine is - VOG-L29 C431-, as shown in picture bellow)
It's not a problem if you have an C461 device, you still get updates and can be used on any european carrier.

My Cust sw version.. Is it going to receive updates like C431-C432?

CEA = Central Europe Africa, so it's ok to use it.
C461 has allready got EMUi 10, as i sent you the link for it, but it may take a whille untill it hits your device. The advantage of using dload firmware is that you don't have to wait for OTA from Huawei (just backup stuffs with HiSuite and personal stuffs on PC and then flash that firmware) or from HiSuite and install when you want. And yes, it will receive firmwares as C431 or C432, but after those 2 got them (it's a delay from Huawei, it could take a month or 2, depending on how Huawei pushes the update)

@walidbenzii,
DON'T use this firmware, it will SOFTBRICK your device, it's the firmware for VOG-L29 not for ELE-L29. @tensux downloaded the wrong firmware, he didn't check my post's link posted earlier, which was for ELE-L29 C461 .
The link provided has the same firmware i've posted few days ago on this thread.

General Mi 11 Ultra Unbricking Discussion Thread

Hello, I recently flashed my Chinese Mi 11 Ultra with Xiaomi.eu ROM and I would like to help others if you are new to flashing / working with fastboot stuff / dont know anything about ROMs and drivers. I can help you in my free time to unlock the phone (ofcourse you have to wait 7 days) and flash xiaomi.eu ROM after bootloader unlock. I owned xiaomi phones back from 2014 and I have some experience flashing and rooting phones. I will help you remotely through TeamViewer with no cost( *only in my free time* ) to help the community. For security purposes, i will be connecting through a completely empty laptop without any files in it.
NOTE: I am not the Xiaomi Authorized EDL guy. Just a Mi 11/ Mi 11 Ultra community member.
Thanks!
Hi @saisannihith ,
This made my day and I'm totally happy to be in a community still supporting each others. Sadly first two attempts I tried to get some help, they ignored and finally when I saw your post, it gave me some hope.
Sadly I'm new to Xiaomi world and recently I purchased my first ever device. So now the problem is since it's not release in my country I've gotten myself into this pickle of China ROM Mi 11 Ultra.
I have PM'd you as well (Contacting Method) and it would be greatly appreciated if you could help me out as well to get this device installed with EU Rom. Thank you so much in advance.
I can also help. I am based in EU, so bear in mind my timezone.
First time going from CN to EU
Update EU Roms
source: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads...iaomi-eu-rom-for-xiaomi-mi11-pro-ultra.59486/
I will flash my mi 11 pro next sunday (after unlock bootloader)
It doesn't look so hard, but i'm a little scared to do that, i don't want to brick my phone.

Hey if you are free can you help me out? My bootloader is unlocked. Currently using a CN phone with Global ROM.
I just have bad memories installing custom roms from my p10 days
EDIT: Nevermind I did it myself, it was super easy and WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND

You cannot relock the bootloader if you switch.
If you go from Global to China, China to Global or Global to EU, you can't relock after any scenio.
The only time you can relock is if you reflashed the ORIGINAL global rom after getting bored of an EU or China variation.
If you installed the Xiaomi.eu rom you'd have Google Pay, Banking Apps, 12.5.7 and more so it would make sense to do this rather than stick with Vodafone Global and just not relock as it makes no difference to your usage.
P.s. Fastboot install of 12.5.4 of the Xiaom.eu rom is easiest for beginners.
You can use TWRP to update to 12.5.7 afterwards and not lose any data.

In reality, i just follow the tutorial step by step (here or on xiaomi.eu) and everything works fine.
But yeah don't relock the bootloader.
I would like to ask, last Sunday I started the countdown to unlock the bootloader,last night though I was olaying with the theme app of my global unit while all of a sudden phone rebooted and went to bootloop so I had to recall the stock recovery to wipe all data and do a factory reset, will this now affect the countdown and the unlocking process?

If you are logging in back to Mi account yes it will reset
Well the phone has been reset so yes I logged back in. Or do you mean in the Miflash tool?

Question What is problem with V12.5.5.0.RKSMIXM update

I am on 12.5.4 for my redmi note 10 5g,
I am not able to update V12.5.5.0.RKSMIXM on this device.
After installing this ROM by mi update app, it will go to bootloop and then it will go to mi recovery mode. (after wipe all date, it will back to pervious ROM, 12.5.4, fastboot flash also can't be solved the problem! )
This ROM won't be updated...!
The second problem with this ROM is: a ROM with 2 different size (one 37 mb and othe 2.3 GB) comes for updating.
If anyone knows how to solve this issue and problem with this ROM, kindly help.
Thanks

Before you proceed to reinstall the MIUI, you may want to do a product authentication with mi.com.
Please ensure that the result from verification page said it is international version before attempting to install any MIXM prefix ROM.
There are some user who bought exported set from China with Global firmware installed. After that whenever the user attempting to do a firmware update, the user may put themselves risk of bricking the phone.
Product Authentication
Verify your phone purchase

Hi wetito.
A lot of Brazilian consumers have bought an bad batch of Redmi Note 5G that probably is CN version remarked with Global (it is M2103K19C with label M2103K19G and MIUI 12.5.4 GLOBAL version).
The problem started when update to 12.5.5, it's not boot anymore, I don't know why. No error appears on screen, only go directly to MIUI RECOVERY 5.0 screen.
I tried 12.5.5 chinese version and It's works, but even using this in english is not comfortable.
You think is possible to get some files from chinese version (fastboot) and merge with GLOBAL version (fastboot) to get it work?
I think to get lk.img, boot.img and maybe others and keep super.img.Not sure which files should be replaced.
Thanks for any help.
Sorry for my poor english.

i think the problem is 12.5.5.0 ota. it caused bootloop to many users. flash new 13.0.2.0 fastboot firwmare. stay away from strange experiment. the solution is more simply and safe
Thanks for answers!
I tested version 13.0.2 it worked, but unfortunately this version also has some bug, because it can't control the sound volume. It is not possible to increase or decrease the sound, it is always at 100%.

Same happen for me and I did't find any solution. Same for EEA version or Global version..
We're locked with a device not stable on previous version of MIUI and a very buggy new version.
What about the indian 13.0.2 is the sound bugy like the global version
