Hi ! I have a noob question
They had three models of mi 8 the 64/128 & 256Go storage and two various models Global Version & a Chinese Version.
But really they had only one version per models of mi 8 but different Firmware of mi 8 ? Exemple for the 64Go model storage this is the same hardware of mi 8 and only the firmware change ? Chinese version or Global version ?
Thank you

Ok ! Thank you. Never lock bootloader on custom rom.
But I can lock it if I use Global rom.
Have a good day.

Ok thanks for response.
But I see with link if you use Global phone you can't use miui china version ?
If I unlock my BL and flash Custom Rom Xiaimi.eu based on China miui version Rom !
They had mistake if I make Ota update of Xiaomi.eu Rom ? No risk lock it and brick it ?
Ps : Yes I understand just don't flash the chinese stable or dev Rom and vise versa !!! With Custom Rom no mistake just if you use miflash don't lock.
Thanks.
You can have every custom rom you want.. for example xiaomieu,it doesnt mean something what kind of source it is. You can use xiaomieu based on china rom with your global version smartphone!
Btw xiaomieu doesnt have ota updates you need to flash manually from twrp every time.

You have a phone that came with an unofficial/fake global ROM. OTA won't work.
Your options are to install an official ROM or a known reputable custom ROM.
Official ROMs will have OTA working, custom ROMs will need you to update them manually.

You can flash official Chinese or Indian ROMs. The Indian ROM is more or less a global ROM, but disables the NFC. The Chinese ROM only has Chinese and English languages, but setting English you will still find the occasional Chinese text creep in. Also it has more ads in system apps.
If you need NFC and want to stay on official ROMs, then it's Chinese. If you can live without NFC then the Indian ROM is a better option, it has the POCO launcher that includes an app draw, you'll not get any Chinese text and there's a lot less ads.
This post has the links for official ROMs, the second post in the thread gives a guide for installing.

Hey.
My k20 pro runs on 10.3.7.0 china rom
There is an update.
Should I update before flashing global rom or I can just flash the global rom without updating the device?
Thanks

I believe that there is no official Global ROM, the option is custom ROMs. I recommend the Lineage 17:

It wasn't a global ROM. It was a modified Chinese ROM with additional languages.

There is no global ROM. You can try MoreLocale 2 on your rooted phone as the guys from 4PDA have had some success with that.
Hey, I was wondering if I'm flashing the Global ROM on the Chineses version will I have OTA's?
Someone can confirm this?
Thanks!
Yes it receives updates OTA, I just received the 12.0.2 version

The only thing that I am missing with the global version is the frequency of MUI updates. With the Chinese one I received two updates in less than a week.
