From beta to stable - Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers

Hi, I have a mi8 International (global rom and locked bootloader).
I have installed the global beta 8.9.20, is it possible to flash the last global stable (10.0.2.0) ???

Possible. Get var = 1 means no anti rollback. Anyways, since your bootloader is locked, just download package and flash via updater select package.

Why is this not possible with unlocked bootloader?

I did not say it was not possible. I was suggesting that it will not brick as updater will do a check and not allow downgrade if u flash via updater

I would like to do the same, tell me if that works.
I problems with notification

You can get from global beta to stable without problems
Getvar anti 1 is NOT anti rollback. You can flash to any version you want without a worry.

[Q] Flashing global firmware on CN version?

Hey guys,
accidentally bought the cn version instead of the global mi8.
i just want to use custom roms on the mi8 anyways. can i flash the global firmware on it or will it brick then?
since i am not familiar with the device, what do you guys think?
i could send it back or keep it. are there any disadvantages for me using the cn version in europe (germany).
thx in advance

after unlocking bootloader, can i use the firmware from global rom or am i forced to use the cn version? will i risk a brick? hw should be the same or not? so both should be usable i guess.
After unlocking bootloader you can install and run global ROM without any issue but never ever re-lock the bootloader with global ROM installed on your CN Version otherwise it will (hard?)brick the device.

Need to unlock bootloader or just upgrade via ota??
Help
Help me pls
I have a black shark 3 pro 8G / 256G (MBU-A0) and the method 2 does not work.
ROMs must be different.
Finally, it works.
Finally, it works with method 1.
- Unlock bootloader
- in fastboot mode, boot in TWRP
- Wipe data
- install zip update via Otg USB
- test to boot
- if don't work, boot in recovert mode (power, volume up) and Wipe (Factory reset)
- reboot your phone.
And now, rom is global (multi language) and model is MBU-H0.
Enjoy

You need to have unlocked bootloader. Then download MI flash tool and correct fastboot rom file from MI website.
To unlock bootloader visit: https://en.miui.com/unlock/
REMEMBER: While flashing fastboot rom select clean all. Do not select clean all and lock. This will keep the bootloader unlocked. It is safer to keep bootloader unlocked for first time, because if something goes wrong you can flash again. If fastboot rom is flashed properly then you may lock the bootloader by reflashing.

Thanks Man,
Finaly i flashed my Redmi 8 INDIAN version to International version.
I have unlocked the bootloader, than downloaded the *.tgz fastboot version. And flash the mobile as you tell me.
It's ok now.
One observation,
- i have renamed the directory extracted from *.tgz file to short name because the Miflash tool can't read it.
:good:

Not sure about Indian Rom but I have been using Global Rom and have changed to Indonesian Rom recently to enable call recording. Global Rom uses Google Phone app which does not allow call recording whereas Indonesian Rom uses Xiaomi phone and messaging apps which has call recording option. There is no other difference at all in Global and Indonesian ROMs.

While you flash using Mi flash tool there will be an option at bottom left panel "Clean all and lock", make sure that it is checked before you flash.. That's it. Lean back and enjoy. Or you can Just type one line in CMD " Fastboot oem relock", honestly, I haven't tried it yet, I used Mi flash tool.

Question change Vodafone rom 12.0.5.0 ( RKSEUVF) TO 12.0.5.0 (RKSEUXM )

i have to wait the normal 168 hours to unlock my bootloader so my question is, can i download Rom 12.0.5.0 (RKSEUXM) and load to phone memory and update Rom 12.0.5.0 (RKSEUVF) via recovery before unlocking the bootloader, i guess it may reject the update as it has a different ROM reference , install ok, or just brick.
