Read here, it is VERY IMPORTANT:

You CANNOT update your MIUI using the global ROM. Unfortunately, Xiaomi seems to have recently truly divided the devices. In my opinion, this is so that the ones sold globally will have Google Play by default and Xiaomi no longer has to worry about 3rd party resellers such as GearBest or so on flashing "vendor roms" on devices that came with the China ROM.

Can i install MIUI 10 beta on global device?

I have a Xiaomi Redmi 4x global Version, but the beta on this Website is a China Beta. Is it possible to install it on my global device?
I mean via TWRP
Yes.
Unlock Bootloader and Flash China MIUI ROM via the Xiaomi Flash tool.
But keep in mind that the China ROM does not have Google play Store.
Yes, you can install. just make sure to backup and make clean flash.
Thank you, for helpfull answers.
We are not getting it until end if July so dont worry about it
when we will get update without flashing ?

Hiw did you do that
The easiest and most secure way is with xiaomitool v2. Just download it and it does everything for you.
Did the same today, now on Miui 11 Global 11.0.3

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?

yeah also in same situation, have same model running 10.3.3 stable (PFKMIXM) , i have heard others getting updated to MIUI 11 but my global model does not seem to have got any further OTA updates beyond that, tried changing different regions to try force it but nothing has worked.
all i am wanting is to get to android 10 with either MIUI 11 or some form of it like the .eu version or MIUIMIX as i don't mind MIUI and would be nice to keep stock xiaomi camera and also have install a port of gcam. but all the roms i have seen are for the k20 pro varient or the Mi 9t pro running CN or IN firmware not the global firmware.
am tempted to try pixel experience or evolution X too but people keep telling me to stay clear until it supports upgrading from the global rom.
what did you end up doing?
