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:

Flash OFFICIAL Xiaomi fastboot rom via Miflash (take care, don't relock the bootloader!!!!) and reinstall TWRP 1102 or 1227 if you take the latest DEV version and not the STABLE.
TWRP 1102 or 1217 for Stable rom
twrp 1227 for latest DEV weekly rom 9.2.15

You are on OFFICIAL XIAOMI rom, that's was needed to refresh your phone.
This rom is full chinese without ANY GOOGLE application.
two options:
you stay with it and install GOOGLE PLAY on it or FLASH a custom modified EU rom with all the western stuff like Google and translations.
You need a modified recovery (TWRP) to flash a custom rom.
Your decision!

Do you know if it exist an ROM europeen (french) on miui10 ? With the Google service or possibility to install the gapps

That's only what is well done with french language and under MIUI 10 Android 9.0

Thanks, but doesn't exist on fastboot version ? Because I have try to unlock my bootloader and I need to wait 360 hours but i doesn't this time, do you have a link like the first you have send to me but for an fastboot version and europeen, whatever the miui version. Thanks

No way and no possibility to flash custom rom out of TWRP usage.
That's the problem you are facing to wait in order to unlock the bootloader.
You must do it or stay with chinese ROM. This was like that when you bought this 100% chinese phone. And for me the same, so I waited 360 H and unlocked the bootloader for having TWRP available...
You have time to learn on how to do it.

As said before, this is a Chinese phone not sold "normally" out of CHINA.
It comes with CHINESE STABLE rom and no GLOBAL rom version ('for international sale with GOOGLE applications and all languages) is available and never will be!..
Sorry.
Anyway this phone is the best size/weight/features/price/performance/design RATIO in all XIAOMI phone range.
Tha's why I bought it to replace my MI5.

Thanks, so do you thinks I can found an traduction to all my mobile ? Before to install the chinese i having the miui global 9.5 stable 9.5.10.0 oebcnfa, it was the original ROM installed on my mobile when I have but my phone, I would like to refind here...

Mi 9 - This MIUI version can´t be installed on this device

Hi all,
i hope someone has an idea how to fix my phone.
The Story:
I bought the 12GB/256Gb Mi 9 Transparent Edition (just sold in China) - it was unlocked by the seller and flashed with official EEA Rom. I bound it to my Mi Account and installed TWRP and then formatted the Phone. I tried xiaomi.eu MIUI 11 rom, but was not happy. So i thought i get the official Global version and flashed it with miFlash Tool. Unfortunately (And i hate myself for it, as i flashed loads of Xioami Phones before), i forgot to change to Clean all - instead it was set to Clean All and Lock - So now the Bootloader is locked again.
And now i own a 600€ pile of junk.
I tried to Unlock again - but mi_unlock told me that "Current Account is not bound to this Device" - and i should go to the Developers Option to bind them. - Well, i would do so if i would not stuck in Recovery (This MIUI version can´t be installed on this device) or in Fastboot Mode.
Is there any chance (beside EDL method, which i do not have the courage to do) to somehow fix this?
I really appreciate all help!
Thanks

If you still have warranty where you bought, take it to them and they'll fix it for you. If not, your only hope left is tespoint EDL.

Did you try to flash latest Chinese Stable rom? Probably you have the message because you cannot flash the Global version as it was Chinese only.

I loose my hope already

So flash that, the latest China Beta then, take it from there.

So when you try to flash the Stable version it says something about the Developer version? strange! try the official tool maybe ( Miflash).

Thanks, i tried with official tool, but to flash via it, Bootloader has to be unlocked - and as written in my 1st post, i locked it by accident. I contacted the shop where i bought it, they said it could take up to 3 month (Back to China...) -
Cannot believe that there is no other way tough.

beside EDL- u can connect with Mi Flash Tool -- only can install China ROm i had sam prob with Mix 2s i did same and i tried many many times with mi flash tool finnaly its done

Did you try to push the rom using fastboot command? you can try this maybe:
https://in.c.mi.com/thread-334-1-1.html
But I still don't understand why, if you try to flash the Stable version it says "you are allowed to flash the newest develop version...".

Question Need help to set back stock ROM

Hello,
I have bought a Mi 11 yesterday version M2011K2G,
I found out that the bootloader was unlocked on it, but when I check it has a global ROM installed already on it,
the thing is that it's not making any update, so I guess it's not an original ROM ?
I want to put back the original ROM and lock the bootloader back in order to have updates,
can you please help me on how I can do this without breaking the phone ?
or I'm I not getting the updates just because the bootloader is unlocked and if I lock it I will get them back ? I'm just scared if I lock it back the phone will break,
or you think I should install back the ROM and lock it back to get everything better ?
Thanks !

What version of ROM do you have?

here it is attached,
when I check updates it says no update available

Normally an unlocked bootloader has no affort to the update. How did you get notice about that? If your bl is really unlocked I would stay with that.
Are you maybe on latest version? Can you take a screen shot of settings - my device - All secs

I know it's unlocked cause I see the unlocked "padlock" when I restart the phone, other than this I don't have any idea of what modification could have been done to it since I'm used to use my phone the way they come with, thats why I want to get it back to stock ROM or get the updates to make sure it's all good

Here is the latest Rom for eea.
It's interesting that rkbeusf is nowhere to find.
Well unzip the fastboot file put the fastboot files from miui into it and try the installation without locking

if I use the Mi Flash and I don't lock it after flashing it, I won't get the upcoming updates will I ?
I mean, is there any way to lock it back ?
I kind of want to make the phone as it went out from factory

I never used mi flash, sorry.
My first step on new phones are always to unlock the bootloader so I can flash root and restore the apps with titanium.
And I got always updates through Ota.
I switched to xiaomi.eu rom, because it was faster with miui 12.5

thanks man, I will try install this ROM you gave me, I have noticed that when I make "download latest packages" it directly says "impossible to download..."
I wonder why it's doing this

Sorry if I misunderstood you, but you will have to scroll down until you see fastboot then a bit more to 'full rom' and click on the blue button
Edit:
Tested it right now and it works fine for me (download started)
Edit 2:
Seems to work with MI flash tool too:
Found on the mitool side:
Step 1: Download the correct Fastboot ROM on the Windows PC by double-checking the compatibility. Then extract and get the workable extensions on the PC (use the Rom above)
Step 2: installation bla bla
Step 3: too
Step 4: too
Step 5: Then attach the ROM file
Step 6: Switch Xiaomi device into the Fastboot mode. So turn off the device and simply take a long press and hold the keys of Volume Down and Power keys
Step 7: Then connect the device to the PC with a proper USB cable which is in the Fastboot mode
Step 8: Now you can enter the tool interface and check whether the device is connected
Step 9: Then select the most suitable flashing option from all three “Flash all”, “Flash all except storage” and “Flash all except data and storage”
Step 10: Hit flash from the top of the window and wait for several minutes
Step 11: Once the process is done you can reboot and finalize the process successfully.

thanks bro it worked, it now checks the updates and make them when they're available, my wife won't ask the divorce finally haha
one last question and I leave you,
my phone is a 12gb 256 (chinese) if I install that same ROM I installed, will I get autoupdates on it or that version can only update on it's chinese ROM ? any idea ?

For my understanding it will work too. The 12 GB ram is EU is not available but it's only additional ram and does not have an other rom.
... So if you can install and use your phone with that rom you will have no issues with updates

Be careful, don't lock bootloader with a global or EEA ROM on CN hardware, you will brick your phone.
Take care when using Miflash with CN flashed to global. Now you are on production software, best to stay there unless you want to install custom ROMs. OTAs should work now. 12.5.1.0 is the latest for EEA.

Isn´t all Mi 11 CN = China hardware ? I think it is safe to relock bootloader if you are on original ROM. Do you mix hardware and rom with each other.
