Flashing Global Rom from Russian Global Rom

I just received my phone today and it came with unlocked bootloader and Russian global rom V9.5.14.0.OEARUFA.
Question is, can I download the updater ZIP file of Global Rom V9.5.13.0.OEAMIFA and use the updater app to flash instead of using Fastbook/Miflash Tools. Is this a safe way? Will it work? Thanks in advance!
Note : It is China Mi8 device.

I also wait for solution... Buy online and got russian rom and unlocked bootloader... What suitable twrp version for this rom because i scare bootloop will happen when install the unsuitable version... And does anyone here already try the miui pro rom from miuipro website.. does it good? Any feedback is appreciated..

The latest recovery-TWRP-3.2.3-0806 will do the trick.

Flashing with twrp is probably the safest way as mi flash you can accidentally re-lock your bootloader.
Since the OP phone is china mi8. It's compatible with all the rom in this forum (EU, global, etc) with unlock bootloader of course.

I do not wish to change my recovery to twrp. So it's the only way is to use miflash tools? No direct zip flash global from from updater app from phone ?

To my knowledge you can't change channel with updater app. With channel I mean Global stable, Global developer, Chinese stable, Chinese developer etc etc.

So global and global Russia can be used with updater app ? Is that correct?
But if can't, it will only show error and nothing will happen to y device right?

Magisk is probably tricking the firmware to see the bootloader is locked. For purposes of online banking and stuff? I believe bootloader is still actually unlocked.

Flash Global Developer via Recovery locked Bootloader

Hi everyone
First, I didn't find an answer form my question via search. Sorry if there is already one.
I'm now with an Global Mi 8 with Global ROM MIUI 9 9.6 (9.6.4.0 (OEAMIFD) and locked Bootloader. That's how my MI 8 got out of the box (so, the official Global version).
I want to flash the Gloabl Developer ROM 8.8.30 from the official MIUI Homepage (http://en.miui.com/download-346.html). As there is also a ZIP ROM Version for flashing via Recovery I want to ask wether it's safe to flash this. The verification process said no problems, just that all Data is erased. This is ok.
Is it safe to flash this way or is there a danger for a brick if the Bootloader is not unlocked?

It's safe to switch from global stable to global beta rom thru the updater, it won't brick your device.

Hello,
I was in your case with the same version.
No problem for me, I downloaded the version like you via the link then going through system update of the phone.
My bootloader is not unlocked

I'm currently on China Stable (miui9), bootloader isn't unlocked yet, what would happen if I flash globlal beta rom (miui10) (zip) via updater recovery?

It worked. Thanks

If your device is Chinese, you gonna brick it without unlocked bootloader.
So unlock it, flash then stay unlocked.

Is it possible to downgrade from 10 beta to stable 9 with recovery rom?

For the people who did. Did it erase everything on the phone? I am thinking of trying miui 10 but am too lazy to re-setup everything

Yes, it erases everything, back up all your data first, and save it on your computer

Hello,
I would like to flash Global Beta Rom on Global Stable rom thru adapter, but after touch 3 dots I do not have opportunity to choose the zip.
Do you have any suggestions how to do it?

Hello.
Click 10 times on the miui10 logo and submenu will appear.
Have fun

Thanks, it works :good:

How to relock the Mi9 properly

Hi, I'd like to relock my phone, I've installed twrp and tested some custom roms. I saw that I needed to flash the stock fastboot rom (for me it's EEA) by selecting "clean all and lock" on Miflash. A lot was talking about brick, "system has been destroyed", is the method mentioned above good ? There's also the method with the fastboot command, "oem lock" or something like that but I don't know how to use it properly....
I want to lock on a miui11 version, I currently use miui12, any anti rollback protection ?
Thanks a lot

Using Mi Flash and clean all and lock will be just fine.

Oh and just a last question, I saw that a miui 12 official stable version is out. When I unlocked the phone I was on miui 11, can I lock directly by flashing the miui 12 lastest fastboot rom ? If not, will I receive the ota on miui 11 directly after flash (if I flash miui 11 of course) ?

Solved
I finally successfully locked the smartphone like that (MIUI v11.0.9 + update MIUI v12.0.1), thank you very much for the precisions.

Right on, you could have fastboot flashed MIUI 12 and relocked without issues too.

Question Can stock zips be flashed with mi 11 twrp?

Just wondering if the stock zips can be flashed with twrp?
I tried numerous stock zips and the ROM flashes successfully with no errors, xiaomiflashtool V2 is also successful, however when the phone boots no matter which stock ROM succeeds, Xiaomi.eu is the ROM that boots.
I don't want to use mi-flash, my phone is eea(Vodafone) and I'm trying to flash eea global, when switching with mi flash it activates ARB and bricks the phone. I know it does because I have already done so and got a replacement from Vodafone.
Any help to flash a stock ROM would be appreciated, I'm stuck with xiaomi.eu as it stands.
Cheers.

at moment . there still no recovery rom for Xiaomi Mi 11 . there's people trying to flash stock rom in TWRP but keep failed .

Mine doesn't fail though, it succeeds. Well shows it succeeds but boots to xiaomi.eu each time.

Xiaomiflashtool V2 also succeeds with the stock ROM , but same outcome is present, xiaomi.eu boots each time.

I dont really want any custom roms really, ideally looking to flash stock again but its proving difficult.

hello me i think wait for a stable recovery.

At the moment the "TWRP" that is out is A10 based therefore you can only do normal stuff like wipe, flash magisk etc. It does not support flashing A11 roms yet

you're wrong , lol.
the only reason you can't flash xiaomi.eu is because ingbrzy doesn't want you to

You can flash with mi flash no problem, but since youre changing to a different region rom your bootloader must be unlocked

Hi you can, but you need the bl unlocked, also with china phones you might need root for gpay, banking fp etc.... with the bootloader unlocked these things may or not work, however on Chinese phones the bl must remain always open on a custom rom, otherwise the phone will brick.

generally thats the case, but for some reason some people its fine and others not, depends on your bank if it detects the bl is unlocked then you cant use it for this without magisk.

It all depends what is your current ROM (you didn't post a single word about).
If you are on Global, just update.
If not, please look around and learn about switching from e.g. China or EEA to Global, etc. Guides can be found on XDA and elswhere

Well do you have twrp as your recovery?
If not, see if you can unlock your bootloader in developer options and then flash twrp in download mode.
From memory:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Fastboot only works for me in Linux these days. Windows doesn't recognise my device, even after installing all the drivers.
