Hello! Xiaomi is really against people flashing global on chinese phones - that's why this happened.
Flash twrp to recovery via adb (search up on youtube its easy)
and flash a custom rom - they're better than miui anyway
Also if you use miflash tool in the future DO NOT click lock bootloader because it might brick your device which is a headache.

No you can't if your bootloader is locked.
I think you should talk to xiaomi about this issue directly and ask them whats the best thing to do.
The thing I can think of is to try and flash a chinese rom and get it to work - after that you can apply for unlocking your bootloader again
with the mi unlock tool (you'd have to wait 15 days though - xiaomi has ****ty policy on unlocking BL.
I install china rom, but its not work - miflash: erase boot error. On MI PCSuite China version app downloads global rom files, china files its not works, bad veryfication.
there are already some threads with some possible solutions, but if on the first run when you used the miflash tool and DID NOT UNCLICK lock bootloader than it looks like you fkkd up.
What is fkkd? In mi flash i checked clear and loock and did not work. Erase boot error.

Hi all.
My Mi5 arrived today with MIUI 7.3.2 Global Stable ROM installed. I'd like to unlock bootloader (Xiaomi granted me permissions already) but I am unable to on this ROM.
I need to flash China ROM but "adb reboot edl" just boots me back into ROM.
Am I right in thinking EDL is blocked on 7.3 and newer? How else can I unlock bootloader ?
To rub salt in the wound, opening contact or dialer crashes the app.
Cheers.
After some more fettling I have managed to solve this. I unlocked my bootloader with the 7.3.2 Global ROM.
I factory reset the phone and rebooted. During setup I skipped everything except the Mi account.
Once at the desktop, I rebooted into bootloader and fired up the Mi Unlock tool and this time it worked.
From there I flashed TWRP and Xiaomi.EU ROM.
How did you unlock it on global stable ROM?

My mi 5 pro is on its way. Thanks for the info as I want to run the same ROM and twrp.
Attention!
I had lots of trouble unlocking my bootloader, tried everything, but nothing seemed to work. Finally i managed to get i working.
To unlock bootloader on Global Stable ROM do the following:
Download Latest Global Development ROM (not stable rom). I used the one from here http://en.miui.com/download-299.html
Put the ZIP on the downloaded_rom folder on the sdcard. If folder is missing, create it.
Use the updater app on the phone to flash the zip you downloaded.
Be PATIENT, flashing takes TIME! Once it's done you can boot into fastboot and proceed with unlock tool as usual
The eu rom is awesome!!!!
Thank you!

Yes! This worked for me too. Soooo much easier than trying to flash China dev roms with the various methods that don't work... Thanks a ton.
Official global rom is available for Xiaomi mi mix 2, even if it's not listed on the miui website yet.
This is the download link: http://bigota.d.miui.com/7.9.21/miui_MIMIX2Global_7.9.21_7f94ca393f_7.1.zip
This is the recovery version, fastboot version is not out yet, so there are only two ways to install it:
Method 1 (works on both locked and unlocked bootloaders):
- Download the rom on your pc
- Download and install my tool on your pc: www.xiaomitool.com/latest (read more about it here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/how-to/tool-xiaomitool-xiaomi-rom-changing-easy-t3627081 )
- Plug your device to your pc, launch the tool and use it until you reach the rom selection view
- Select "show advanced options", then "Official Miui rom (.zip)" and then select the file of the rom you have downloaded before
- The tool will install it automatically
Method 2 (works only on unlocked bootloaders):
- Download the rom and supersu zip on your device
- Install twrp to your device
- Install the rom file through twrp
- Patch the rom by flashing supersu
PLEASE NOTICE: if you use this method dont update your device because this will soft brick it. You need to flash manually from twrp the rom and supersu if you want to do that. This method is for those who want to try the rom, not to keep for a long term. If you want to keep the rom, use method 1 or wait for fastboot rom.
FAQs:
Q: This link is official and how did you get it?
A: It's official (just look at the download url) and I have it by emulating an ota update call
Q: Have you tried installing it on your device?
A: I have not mi mix 2 so no
Q: This may brick my device?
A: It may brick it, I have not tried yet. This is to tell you to do on your own risk, I'm not responsible
Q: Why I have to flash SuperSU?
A: Official rom are not compatible with twrp natively, your device will not boot if you don't flash supersu.
Q: What is the difference with your tool?
A: My tool uses stock recovery to flash official roms, so there is no need to unlock bootloader to install twrp, neither to flash supersu
Q: This method(s) doesn't work!
A: Ok, sorry to hear that, leave your feedback. This methods are not tested yet with mi mix 2, so there is the chance they might not work. Just leave both positive and negative feedback about it.

Would you care to share the ota update call for those of us too lazy to use wireshark?
Should i continue?

I have unlocked my bootloader.

Works for you ? And which option did you choose .. And did you do anything before ?
Didn't work for me, see my previous post
Hi vic20nl,
So you continued but had no luck ?
Or did you abandoned the flashing ?
If you decided not to proceed, I might say that installing a custom recovery is an easy thing.
And I cannot recommend too much to install such a custom ROM as it will allow a lot of things, especially to back-up before installing a new ROM or to install a custom ROM like Mokee or EPIC ROM.
Regards.
Heading has come up on the MIUI ROM download page for the Mi MIX 2 Global, so it should not be long for an official ROM
Stable ROM available
It's up for download

Yeah just noticed that. Shame it's still miui 8 not miui 9.
Maybe soon for miui 9 global.
Did somebody manage to flash the developer ROM (that is what is what mentioned in first post) as that is suppose to be MIUI 9?

Yes, I did. You need to use fastboot.
Hello Guys!
First at all, thank you @franztesca for your great work on the flashing tool and bring us early the Global Dev Rom for Mi MIX 2.
I would like to ask and/or bring in this discussion here an other aspect to flash the Global Dev.
First an unlocked bootloader is requiered. I used this method at another Xiaomi, the Xiaomi Mi 5.
I am actually on the Xiaomi.eu Rom and i would like to change to the Global Dev. My bootloader is open. I flashed the Xiaomi.eu Rom with TWRP, but i dont install TWRP, i just boot into TWRP by using the commend : "fastboot boot twrp.img", just booted not flashed! After the boot i flashed the Rom via ADB Sideload an performe a Data Rest befor.
In this case i am able to keep the original Recovery, but i could also have an Custom Rom.
Now i want to change my Rom again, to your brought Global DEV.
Iam loking and asking me, how could i flash it the easyest Way, without loosing any Data and of course without any Bootloops and with regular Updates for the future.
So i think you musst Add a Variant Number 3, please correct my if iam wrong, but for me it is the easyest way with an unlocked Bootloader.
1. Download Rom and TWRP
2. Set Mi MIX 2 in Fastboot Mode
3. Boot via Fastboot iside TWRP (fastboot boot twrp.img"
4. Flash the Rom an reboot
Now you have Global Rom with offical Recovery for futher upadates!
Greetz
Thanks, I cannot do it via the updater app from Xiaomi by coying the zip file to the device and then choose the package in the updater?

You can't go from the China ROM to the Global ROM via the updater app. You'll have to use fastboot/Mi Flash.

So if I get it right:
- Unlock your bootloader trough a Xiaomi website and wait for an sms.
- Use fastboot to flash the global rom. (Do I need to wipe before using the Mi tool to flash?)

I didn't have to go through getting permission, my account already had it from previous Xiaomi devices. If you haven't yet, then yeah wait to get permission.
Mi Flash gives you the option to relock the bootloader upon flashing or not. There is also an option to keep data, but I would advise not doing that when switching to the Global ROM.
Also, after getting permission to unlock your bootloader, if you relock it again, you can always use the Mi Unlock tool to unlock it as much as you want since you already got permission to do so. When I had the Mi5, I can't even count how many times I unlocked/relocked the bootloader.

Once re-locked can you use banking apps etc?
Wrong recovery
When I try with method 1, he tells me I got the wrong recovery. Bootloader is open ..
Hi All, it's time i clean up my K20 Pro as i have upgraded to a F2 Pro.
The K20 Pro has MIUI 10.3.17 CN ROM from about 10 months ago, bootloader unlocked, magisk etc.
When trying to miflash it with a MIUI 12.0.5 CN latest fastboot rom in order to get back to factory, the progress bar completes in 1 second, and status is green and success, BUT the phone does not reboot itself. Using miflash 20181115 with clean all option.
After i unplug phone and reboot it manually nothing was flashed - everything is still on there.
Any ideas?
Thought i would try doing factory reset from within the system and at first it appeared to be going thru the reset - however upon reboot, everything remains.
The other things is i have TWRP on it, wondering if i should do anything there?
Looking for assistance on what the correct procedure is...

Hi, how can one flash without miflash? and the miflash no believe is the last version I think.
Would prefer a miflash completely to get rid of TWRP too.
any other ideas why this is happening?

Xiaomi Flash Tool - Official Mi Flash Tool
Download the latest and Official Xiaomi Flash Tool from the Official Xiaomi Flash Tool Website.
xiaomiflashtool.com
try downloading latest flash tool from this website
if not then try flashing without flash tool and u will not be able to retain twrp if u flash fastboot rom by any means.
if flash tool doesn't work then just extract the zip i have attached here and paste all files of fastboot rom folder in this folder and run the flash_all.bat file and it should work if u have all drivers installed.
The newer miflash worked! thank you so much Ezio!
Would you happen to know if there is any way to get Google PlayStore onto a K20 Pro?
I saw some threads on 'just flash it with a global ROM' - which wasn't the case back a year ago when i had last tinkered.

yes i have an Indian k20 pro and i tried miui global rom it works fine except nfc didn't as Indian k20 pro doesn't have nfc hardware.
So yes u can do that if u want but do note that global rom has dialer and contact as well from google and not mi one.
I remember when I treid it a year ago it didn't work. The phone recognise the rom as for non-chinese and said the version was wrong. Are you sure?
Is the process same as fastboot flashing?
Guess of it doesn't work I should be able to fastboot flash it back again?
Thanks, I just found https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...Vaw1k6QstZklCOzbLJO2p_18T&cshid=1607339448068
I just have to remember not to lock the bootloader.
Hey,
I need HELP.
I have Redmi 9. Unfortunately, I do not remember which ROM and which MIUI was installed. I think it was 12 GLOBAL.
I've tried to install TWRP and magisk, though something went wrong and I'm now in bootloop. I can get into fastboot but don't know how to continue from this position,
My thoughts that I've tried to install TWRP or magisk that don't fit to my phone.
Phone is unlocked.
unofficial twrp 3.4.2 Root Xiaomi Redmi 9 (Lancelot) claims to be a working TWRP and instructions for installing Magisk. (I don't have the phone, so I can't test it.)

well your best bet is to download the stock rom and flash it with sp flash tool using the brom bypass, only thing you have to know is which exact miui version you had, otherwise if you have an unlocked bootloader you don't have to worry that much as it will not harm your phone

can it be done if cant go into fastboot mode ?
be careful when flashing your stock rom do not flash with format all mode or else you imei will be lost
I have the model M1902F1A that had the MIUI V12.0.2 Global ROM and tried to upgrade to V12.5 Global.
Problem is, while the flashing was successful, I learned that my device was not compatible with the MIUI version that I flashed so I can't boot the device. But I didn't notice the "clean all and lock" was activated when I was flashing. Now I can't flash a new ROM because my device is locked, and can't unlock my device because I can't boot to allow in the Mi Account Settings.
I can still access Mi Recovery and Fastboot, but after 6 hours of searching I just couldn't find a solution that worked for me. Does anyone have any ideas?
