Difference between ROMs?

Can someone explain the difference between the current ROMs on the mi5?
Mine has arrived with the .eu ROM, but I note there's the global one and the Chinese one. What are the differences between these? Are there any other ROMs (aside CM)?
What can you flash without unlocking the bootloader??
Thanks

I doubt that your phone came with xiaomi.eu rom, probably with a fake one. Post a screenshot from about section in settings.
You can flash any MIUI rom with locked bootloader except newer versions of xiaomi.eu rom than 6.4.21. There was a thread on honorbuy how to do it, do some digging.
There are no other no miui roms except CM.

Alright, so your rom is official xiaomi.eu rom.
Official china -> only english and chinese available, no GApps preinstalled, many parts of the system are still in chinese even if you choose the english language.
Official global -> Many languages, GApps preinstalled, it's not updated as often as the chinese one (there's no official global available atm, there was but it's been suspended)
Xiaomi.eu -> 50+ languages, GApps preinstalled, updated weekly (dev) or as often as chinese stable. It also contains some performance tweaks and optimizations.

Thanks for clearing that up!! I appreciate it. Xiaomi.eu seems to be the best ROM if you're in Europe.
Is xiaomi.eu non official?? Am I running the latest version??
So installing anything other than CM doesn't require BL unlocked? I've applied for that, but looking at other posts, will take some time to get the approval.

OOhhh. I thought you need to unlock BL if you are going from stock Chinese to Global rom. Cheers.

that clears things up. big thanks. but would you happen to know about the camera (photo/video) quality of Xiaomi.EU vs stock china/global rom? is it on par or maybe better?
and this Xiaomi.EU is stock based right?

You can install every official MIUI rom without unlocking bootloader. You can do it by flashing in EDL mode, I believe there are some guides on the official miui forum.
Xiaomi.eu is an unnoficial ROM created by community. Xiaomi.eu is based on china dev / stable and it is updated as often as china dev / stable is. Camera is the same I guess.. @white43 you're not running the latest xiaomi.eu, you have 7.2.12 and I believe the newest is 7.3.3(?). You'll need to wait for your bootloader to be unlocked in order to flash the newest one.

Just a quick question. If i unlock the bootloader can i still get china stable rom updates??
Sent from Xiaomi Mi5 ver Karramba!

Yes, you can.

When you say global ROM, does that mean you still have all the features as the Xiaomi or China ROM?

How to Install:
Make sure You're on latest Open Beta Q or H2OS Beta Q firmware!
Note: Backup Your nudes before flashing the rom! It will wipe Your internal storage.
As of 20.2.27 Build, EPR is no longer needed so just simply run force wipe flasher/dirty flasher (if previous build) and enjoy!
Use EPR before flashing this ROM! After that flash latest Open Beta Q twice,
and remember which slot You have resized!
New detailed Guide by @umangtayal
1. Reboot to TWRP blu_spark 3.3.1-x (v9.101).
2. Flash latest Open Beta Q for OP6 and twrp, and reboot to recovery
3. Again flash latest Open Beta Q and twrp and reboot to recovery (this will flash dp3 to both slots).
4. After latest Open Beta Q flashing is done, make sure you are in slot A of twrp (if you are in slot B, simply go to reboot and at the bottom select slot A).
5. Now in twrp(slot A), run epr on slot A.
6. After epr is done, your device will boot into fastboot.
7. Now run the MIUI flasher while in fastboot. This will flash MIUI to slot A (in slot B it will show "volume full" error, which is perfectly normal)
8. After flashing is done, you can reboot to recovery and flash magisk or simply reboot to system.
There is a seperate thread on EPR( enchilada partition resizer). if you dont know how to use epr, simply google it and you'll find the xda thread.
If You want to update, or You don't want to format Your data use "flasher_no_format_data".

Great job btw?
Also I'm waiting for the Pixel 3XL Port just in case if you could fix the bugs

Awesome work, thx

on 6t. cant boot into miui10. get the device is corrupt screen. pressing power button twice as well.
changed slot to Oxygen OS and it booted fine (I had flashed MIUI 10 Pie on the inactive slot and then made it active). of course I did all the steps listed in the scripts including a data wipe.

im getting sound stuttering system wide. not just on youtube

Maybe with a custom app we can get alert slider working properly. Just thought...

Try this:
Flash OOS 9.0.7 twice in TWRP(flash, reboot twrp, flash again). So that both A and B partitions will have 9.0.7
And then run the flasher with cmd or terminal. If You're on Windows. Just double tap on flasher and it will start flashing.
It's important to flash this rom with fastboot included in the zip.
So just run the flasher and not every command separately.
Before I made the flasher, lots of OP6 users couldn't boot it either.

I think it might be related to DRM because in some places like Soundcloud and when You select a ringtone, it sounds fine.

[Firmware] Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 [lavender] [Auto updated daily!]

All Xiaomi users suffer from a single problem, Firmware update. As there are many devices with no one to provide the newest firmware update every single release. And also developers who provide updates to devices may forget or be busy sometimes, so releases are provided later. Here is my simple solution:

A set of various script that automatically generates Xiaomi firmware flashable zip files every MIUI new update!
My scripts download MIUI official ROMs, both Developer and Stable, Global and China, extracts the firmware-update folder, generates firmware flashable zip with auto-written "updater-script", and uploads them automatically to many servers.
The scripts are completely automated, running on a Linux server every six hours.
Note:
Names will be in the following manner:
fw_lavender_miui_LAVENDERGlobal_*.zip is Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Global firmware
fw_lavender_miui_LAVENDERINGlobal_*.zip is Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 India firmware

Downloads​You can get updates always from various mirrors avaliable on the website:

Older files are available here.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What is Firmware? Is it a full ROM or OTA package?
Firmware is not a ROM nor OTA Package, it's a set of low-level drivers which helps the operating system do whatever it wants to do. It includes various things like Modem, Bluetooth, Bootloader, DSP and etc.
Why should I update the Firmware?
Firmware is provided from Xiaomi directly, and there are no sources for it to let developers build and edit it on their own like custom ROMs, so if you want to keep your device up to date always update your firmware!
Do I need updating the Firmware If I'm MIUI official or custom ROM user?
No, MIUI ROMs contain the firmware-update package which I extract and provide here.
What are the supported devices?
All Snapdragon devices including China-only devices.
Check the full devices list here!
Why there are no MTK devices?
Because it doesn't have firmware-update package
How to update the firmware?
1- Download the package you want to flash. IT MUST BE NAMED WITH THE SAME CODENAME OF YOUR DEVICE.
2- Flash it using TWRP or any custom recovery. There's no need to wipe/format anything before or after the installation.
How to check the updated firmware?
Usually, the modem gets updated with newer firmware, you can check it in Settings > About > Baseband.

On my Redmi S2, I am from Stable flash Beta rom via updater in recovery,and I dont have unlocked bootloader.
The same thing I will do when we geta Global beta rom.
Install it through updater via recovery without unlocking bootloader.
But if I want to go back from beta to stable, then I need unlocked bootloader and Mi flash tools..to flash it through fastboot.

Im using EU Rom.
Can I flash this firmware and what firmware I should flash between Stable ROMs Firmware or Developer ROMs Firmware ?

Thank you for the links research, but I already know this and i am experienced with de-bloating software and repairing phones issues, you might didn't get the Question, I meant if it's 'normal' the K20 Pro to come with minimal pre installed services of Google Play. Like this hidden on the system.
Being on an 'ancient' A9 miui10 has nothing to do with, even I get better battery life quality and performance with the A9 then of A10 or the A11 because the last miui's have an horrible delay input transition on applications and typing.. they aren't as snappy as the early miui version 10 or 11
I have the phone since it was first released so I know the phone from the inside and the out inside.
I have tried the custom roms provided by this place and all function for there propose.
Still the official ones serve me better, if I don't like something I can simply uninstall or mod the system as my like.
Still in the topic if someone could provide me Intel on this specific device to confirm if the Chinese Roms (doesn't matter what version is) comes with the pre installed Google services like the image above.
I would be very appreciated

NP. I'm just mentioning that Xiaomi.eu are the best (not only by my own experience) MIUI ROMs
You get the ROM based on CN, not just debloated but adapted for business and daily international usage.
Newer releases also pass SafetyNet out of the box (although Bootloader is unlocked) - if you install Magisk you then if course need also to hide Magisk by MagiskHide
Btw, A9 for sure gives you batter battery usage but you have also the ancient Security patches

General [PSA] You cannot upgrade to stable MIUI 13 Android 12 if you have MIUI 13 13.0.15 (Android 11) installed - Tested on spes - Global variant

This has been fixed in version 13.0.5 of MIUI Global, at least for this time. So be patient, as the update is starting to reach some people.
Below is the previous post
Spoiler: Old post
Hello everyone. This is my first post here, so I will try to be as brief as possible, plus my English is not so polished.
In a Latin American Telegram group I read about that you can't upgrade to A12 if you had a certain firmware version. To be more exact the version v13.0.15, which has June 2022 security patch.
So start downloading the fastboot ROM from version 13.0.12 and installing it using MiFlashtool and closing the bootloader at the end of the process. And, by surprise, the Rom of Android 12 appeared ready to download via OTA.
Sorry for the screenshots in Spanish.

As you can see, the update is available, but almost no one has arrived. Why?
My theory is that almost no one has it because there is a conflict in the security patches. Since:
- MIUI 13 v13.0.15 (Android 11) has the June 2022 security patch
- MIUI 13 v13.0.4 (Android 12) has the June 2022 security patch too
And if we remember a little, while A12 was in Mi Pilot a few months ago, we received version 13.0.15 of Android 11 during that time. So it is for that reason that several of us do not have the update to Android 12.
Now someone will wonder, what if I try to update locally to Android 12 from version 0.15 of Android 11?
Well, there's bad news. It is not possible since the OS refuses to install the recovery ROM without giving more details of why.
As you can see in this screenshot:
Spoiler: Screenshot showing MIUI version 13.0.15 Android 11 with June 2022 security patch and MIUI updater error saying "Unable to flash this stable ROM"
So in short. because both versions have the same security patch it is not possible to upgrade to A12 if you have MIUI version 0.15
You need to downgrade to version 0.12 or lower in order to upgrade.
And now to conclude, what can be done in this situation?
- Unlock bootloader and downgrade to MIUI version 13.0.12 or lower using MiFlashtool or Flash A12 directly using this method, but in my opinion it is not worth it as it is better to unlock to try the custom ROMs based on AOSP or even install Xiaomi.eu if you like MIUI
- Do not update to version 0.15 if the system proposes it. In this situation, you can choose to enter Xiaomi Firmware Updater and download the A12 ROM (spes/spesn) and perform a local update. Remember that for a local update you must download the recovery ROM
NOTE: In the NFC variant (spesn) the version of MIUI with Android 12 is 13.0.2

Same thing happened with Indonesian (ID) rom, recently people whose still in 13.0.4.0 got an update to android 12 (july security patch), but no one gets android 12 update if you're already on 13.0.6.0 (we got it months ago), but instead we got 13.0.7.0 update a day later with august security patch.
Here's the weird thing, android 12 recovery & fastboot rom are released for ID variant, if you're on 13.0.6.0/13.0.7.0 you can't update to android 12 because of the security patch being older 13.0.7.0 (august) - 13.0.1.0 android 12 (july), there's a notification like "can't veriy update/can't downgrade", so you have to install it via fastboot... need to unlock bootloader and stuff, time consuming...
i don't know what's going on with this update, many people are complaining about it in xiaomi community, it's been 7 months since the phone launched and we still waiting for android 12, and even when when it comes we got this weird updates...

According to what I'm researching, the same thing is happening in the Global ROM.
If you are on 13.0.12, you will receive Android 12 (June security patch). if you are on 13.0.15, you probably will receive version 0.16 (June security patch again) and when installing A12 in this version, it will give an error about not being able to downgrade

this is ok because if you force update from 0.15 to android 12 it will have some nasty bug . Android 11 is better than 12 so i dont care

So, basically xiaomi ****ed up with numbers and now they are not ready to correct it.
I have RN11 global with miui 13.0.15 with June patch and i have got the 13.0.16 update just 2 days back (and i didn't install it because i read these things). So, they don't know what to do at all. They rolled out 13.0.15 and they knew that A12 is on 13.0.1 (from RGCMIXM to SGCMIXM) and now i have to do this downgrade and upgrade thing. No, thanks a lot, i will rather go to custom rom way than xiaomi's ****ed up numbers.

As far as i know, the SGCMIXM is the 4GB/XXXGB phone update branch, and the 6GB/XXXGB uses the RGCMIXM, i bought a spes 4/128 for my dad as a sustitute for his (Now dead) Redmi note 6a, and noticed that, since i bought my 6/128 spes, both had different update branches, The only difference from packaging that i noticed is that Mine was delivered from Europa (Summary using translator:Apparently the phone dealer of the local store where I bought my phone and my father's, sold the 4/xxx phone branch from USA, and the 6/xxx from EUR, Same phone, same packaging, Different chargers, Different updates

is the android 12 version for RN11 spes worth downloading, in terms of stability? also can someone share a link for 13.0.12 fw

Emmm... No.
Those are not update branches.
What you're referring to is the firmware identifier, which both seem to use the same global firmware, since:
S/R - Indicates Android version (12/11)
GC - Indicates that the firmware is for the spes (non-NFC) variant
MI - Indicates that it is the global firmware
XM - Indicates that it is a stable public build
If the 6/128 phone had really been an EU variant, its firmware would be RCGEUXM, and in that situation, the phone would have a different updates branch from Global branch.

Honestly, I did not feel many differences with respect to A11, but that is already a more personal opinion.

This issue has been deprecated since Xiaomi has solved the problem in the Global variant in version 13.0.5 that is being launched gradually. If a Mod can close the thread would be grateful.

Closed as per OP.
