Because the bootloader will be unlocked, you'll have to root your device & hide your unlocked bootloader from Google Pay, if you just flash Global & not root, it won't work

If you re-lock the bootloader after flashing Global on a Chinese device it will brick..
Okay I'm unlocked and rooted with Magisk and Magisk hide. But Google pay still says this.

Hi guys,
I have a Chinese Xiaomi Mi 8 with Global Rom and unlocked Bootloader. I would like return to Chinese Rom in english and Re-lock bootloader because I want to use Google Pay, Is it possible or I would brick my device?
Thank you for advance.
Even if you'll install the Chinese firmware and lock bootloader you won't be able to use Google Pay.

Na. It's custom ROM. Don't do that
From what I have read in the different threads or forums is that you can flash a Global rom on your unlocked Chinese Mi8 but you cannot go back and flash and lock by going back to the Chinese rom.
IT WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE.
Take care and I would recommend you to not to mess around with re-locking the bootloader. It is better to be safe than sorry

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 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 can only lock the bootloader with official MIUI that is the same region as was originally on the phone.

CHINA model device; u can only lock bootloader on China ( CN ) official rom.
GLOBAL model device; u can lock bootloader on India, Russian, Global, Europe ( IN,RU,MI,EU ) official rom.
Just use mi flash. Keep the lock bootloader tick on.
Hi all,
I have à mi 9t pro europian version, I'm always with miui11
So I want to flash the global version into it via twrp
Is that safe ??
Thanks all
I'd recommend the xiaomi.eu stable/beta roms.
The flashing guide is pretty self explanatory in their site.

How did you do that?
Download full miui 12 for mi 9t pro global
And flash it via twrp
That's all
Help me please?
How many method is there to change global in xiaomi?
Since your question is not explicit, you cannot change version (Global to EEA or others, etc.) or downgrade without unlocking the bootloader.
To summarize you can only update the installed version.
Now I am using this phone with china version. I bought it from china. But I don't like this version and I don't want to unlock bootloader. so I am finding other methods like hardware method(redmi 8a). But I am not a phone repairman.
Is there any other methods for rubypro? I really want to know.
(note: sorry for my eng skill)

The price of the motherboard and the labor will cost you relatively expensive and provided you find the part.
Edit:
Anyway you bought a Chinese version with soc Mediatek and:
Few or no development for the Mediatek soc
Impossible to re-lock the bootloader with a rom of a different version than Chinese.

If you install a golbal stock rom on a Chinese device and re-lock the bootloader, the phone is bricked.
You can't do this on a locked bootloader.
Global stock roms work on Chinese device and Xiaomi Eu rom as well.

Didn't i said the same... He will be stuck in miui recovery with a message "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device""
And u can't unlock bl (In this device case as we have mtk exploit still working we can flash via sptool)
the OP concerned the change of version not an update. who will download a global rom for it installed on a Cn rom with a locked bootloader?
