Hello,
Today i got my brand new mi8 (from china).
Unluckily, it has some ****ty custom ROM with no actualisation feature. I can't even install offical global rom or unlock bootloader.
So I need to flash my device - and here's the question.
How can I flash my ****ty rom to a offical global rom? as this post says it's forbidden https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/development/firmware-global-china-stock-firmware-t3818194
So should I flash to a china rom, than unlock bootloader and than install official global/some xiaomi.eu? Any simple solution would be great.
Thanks for help
UPDATE : I found hidden update app and installed global miui 9.6.1.0(OEAMIFD), but I still have ads in MI browser, etc. Will reseting phone to the fabric settings work?
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
You must unlock bootloader first then flash any custom or global rom .

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.
Hey, I had a xiaomi mi 8 chinese version sold as global, which i tried to flash global rom on and bricked the device, i managed to get a refund.
Now I have a global version mi8, and would like to flash a different OS on it because i really dont like MIUI, however im worried that ill brick my phone again, because ARB is enabled on MI8.
Can somebody help me out, seen a few different guides but still not too sure of the correct method, at what stage do i flash DM-verity etc.
Any advice much appreciated thanks
Unlock bootloader, flash twrp, flash required firmware for the rom, flash rom. If you dm me i can help you better.
Hi All,
I recently purchased a new Redmi K20 Pro off a friend who by mistake bought what I believe to be a Chinese ROM phone due to opening up apps in Chinese...
I have unlocked the bootloader and am ready to progress to flashing a new rom. However, I have seen in videos and read that you need to flash the correct rom in order not to brick the device. You can create issues by not using the correct vendor rom? I'm wanting to flash a global rom in order to not have a chinese rom with Chinese apps...
What I am hoping to achieve is to flash a global or rom that is in english with google apps ready to go.
I also want to know if I will be able to lock the bootloader once I have flashed the new rom or do I not worry about locking it? I assume if I lock the bootloader, I will be able to use google pay etc?
I have searched and I am unable to find a correct guide that will work for the device I bought...
Can anybody please point me in the right direction with what I need to do in order to get my phone to a global rom where all apps are in English please?

Look here for the fastboot ROM
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/supported/miui/
Choose the fastboot ROM for either European or Global raphael
Use this guide to flash it

View the page in desktop mode if viewing on a phone.
IMPORTANT
You must not lock the bootloader. You will brick the phone if you lock the bootloader with any ROM other than Chinese.
The default flash option in the Mi Flash Tool is to lock the bootloader when flashing. You must change this.
In step 5 of the guide make sure you change the flash option to 'clean all' in the Mi Flash Tool before hitting the flash button.
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.
i have debranded my phone (i had your firmare) with xioami tool v2. i do this eith locked bootloader without brick. now i am on last eea version
Thanks for the info, will find and download this prog, then have a go...cheers
unlock bootloader and flash latest eea firmware is the best solution

Hi,
Can you please explain how did you manage to debrand this phone? Which ROM you installed while debranding? Did you loose your data?
Will be grateful for your help and tip.
