Identifying GLOBAL VERSION - Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers

Friends,
I am in China and I will try to buy a MI 9.
I went to a official mi store and ask for a global version, because a will use it in Brazil.
The seller show me one, but I didn't feel much confidence in it.
There is some easy way that I can identify global version in the box?
There is some label that says GLOBAL VERSION?
Thanks

the global version package has got a red sticker on it stating "Global Version"

If you are in China I doubt you will get a Global version. Only Chinese version are sold in China, unless you go to an unofficial store, and even there, there is great chance that you'll get a Chinese version with a Global firmware flashed on it. If you don't need the bands that are missing on the official Chinese version, I suggest you to buy to an official shop or any big reseller (JD, Sunning etc) and then flash the global rom or Xiaomi.eu rom.

The chinese version doesn't have the band 28 for 4g+, which is now starting to be used in Brazil. So I don't recommend buying the chinese version unless your city stil doesn't use that band. But keep in mind if you go to big city's like São Paulo you can get no 4G signal.
Resumindo, eu não recomendo comprar se você mora em cidade Grande porque muitas já usam a banda 28, e você vai ficar sem 4g em algumas áreas, mas se você mora em cidade pequena então é provável que não tenha problema. Mas que nem já disseram, é muito dificil achar a versão global na China.

How's the whole CONVERSION to WW going?

Mod edit - translated by https://www.deepl.com/translator and thread moved to Q&A section from Guides etc.:
I just imported a Chinese Tencent ROG 3, and found out the biggest headache of making the global rom work on it. Also there is no one talking about this phone, even on XDA....
How is the current situation? Should you still have unlocked BL? Warning messages in the notification bar? No OTAs?
Looking at rog 2 it doesn't look like it will be fixed, right?
I'm thinking of cancelling my purchase.
******************************
Acabei de importar uma Tencent ROG 3 chinesa, e descobri a maior dor de cabeça que é fazer a rom global funcionar nele. Também não há ninguém falando sobre este telefone, mesmo no XDA...
Como está a situação atual? Ainda deve ter desbloqueado BL? Mensagens de aviso na barra de notificações? Sem OTAs?
Olhando para o rog 2 não parece que vai ser resolvido, certo?
Estou pensando em cancelar minha compra.
Mod edit - translated by https://www.deepl.com/translator:
It is 100% possible to fully convert Rog 3 CN to global WW firmware - many of us have done it, including myself. I have also upgraded to the latest WW firmware since then.
Search the XDA / online forums properly; you will be rewarded.

Question rom cn to global rom

Hello, I was seeing that this time, the Chinese version and the global version are the same. It will be easier if I buy it in China to install the global version with all languages later? Even now it may be easier to change the rom of the oppo find x2 pro which is the one I currently have.

Another user in the x3 forum had a Chinese version and it apparently was not the same.
https://www.coloros.com/en/rom ..if only I had an X2pro, not a X3pro with ChinaROM. My AliExpress [HongKong] purchased X3pro has English, but the SYSTEM apps, App Store not GooglePlay [instead one all Chinese], & back-up are not Google-1 with GoogleDrive [ instead HeyTap], & ChinaROM Native assistant is BREENO: Chinese Language only, Further SMSs and data are often labeled as international even as my use is only USA to USA, with USA SIM. [LOL, my X3pro actually suggested I use data SIM-less to avoid charges. & and while I can change the SMS app to Textra every incoming text switches it back to ChinaROM default]
I await the website to have X3pro ROMs, but I may still be blocked from applying them, & the actual hardware version can differ. I once made the error of using a ROM for a same name device, when different markets/countries had slightly different hardware.. Flashed naively. Did not function but was able to restore.
I have sent email [ https://support.oppo.com/en/email-us/ failed to send ] to [email protected]
Even that failed to arrive..

Fears confirmed by their email reply. Take care not to order X3pro with ChinaROM unless yo like it that way!
"Unfortunately, because the device was manufactured for the Chinese market, It is different from the devices that are manufactured for the European market and the U.S.A. as here there are other laws and other software features that needs to be used. As the phone came from the manufacturer to comply with the Chinese market, the phone cannot be changed or modified to work as an European phone or an American one in this case."
p1gnone said:
Miedos confirmados por su respuesta por correo electrónico. ¡Tenga cuidado de no pedir X3pro con ChinaROM a menos que le guste de esa manera!
"Desafortunadamente, debido a que el dispositivo se fabricó para el mercado chino, es diferente de los dispositivos que se fabrican para el mercado europeo y los EE. UU., Ya que aquí existen otras leyes y otras funciones de software que deben usarse. el fabricante para cumplir con el mercado chino, el teléfono no se puede cambiar o modificar para que funcione como un teléfono europeo o americano en este caso ".

En mi opinión, la fabricación es la misma, lo único que cambia esta vez es el software.pero aún no se ha descubierto cómo dejarlo con rom global como otros teléfonos.

That would have been my guess, but I'm less sure given the OPPO-UK official support reply. They may not really know, but claim its hardware too, not just the software. "Cannot be changed or modified " may simply mean software blocked.
It could be they have some small tweaks in the hardware that makes the rom incompatible.
You would need an experienced person to help with that.

Yes, Play store works, but default locked to a Chinese store. System apps all Chinese, cannot turn them off, e.g.News , [inferior] Messaging App keeps taking over from a default selection citing Security [Textra] , Chrome browsing triggers occasional warnings [claims of international data when actually US<->US, launcher selection locked, Backup locked out from Google-1, only using a Chinese one. Minor but annoying: temperature locked to Celsius when I 'live' in Fahrenheit.
I hope you can advise work-arounds.

Question Motorola Edge S Pro Google Pay?

Hi everyone, I checked some threads here, but was not able to answer all my questions, so I believe it will be good for other users as well if we can gather answers to those questions which I would like to know. As I read Motorola Edge S Pro DOES NOT support Google Pay, but I'm highly interested to get this phone, as I can get it for half of the price of Edge 20 Pro. So here are my questions:
1. Is it possible to make Google Pay work on Motorola Edge S Pro at all?
2. If "Yes" is it possible to make it work on the Chinese ROM or it's only possible on the Global ROM?
3. If it's only possible on the Global ROM, is there a way to flash Global ROM which support OTA update, because all the sellers say Global ROM does not support OTA, which it's a bit inconvenient as I always need to re-flash it when there is a newer version of the software, right?
4. When I order the phone, what's your suggestion - do I need to get one with stock China ROM or do you advice me to tell the seller to install Global ROM i.e. which will be better for me in terms for further modifications?
Thanks a lot for your answers!
Hey man. Google Play is available on the Edge S Pro. You just need to update the phone to the latest update when you get it. Then you should be able to download Google Play from the Chinese app store already on the phone
Hello there, I am asking for Google PAY not pLay.
hey foreign friend.
I'm chinese, I ordered moto edge S pro recently, on the way shipping. I notice that this production(might only chinese version?) could have serious quality control problem, many people post that screen slide would interrupted around font camera, it's a serious problem in gaming. So good luck. And hope i have good luck too.
In my case I was able to use google pay (and some other apps that require security on the device), blocking the bootloader again. of course be aware that the device will be completely erased.

As I understand it, when you unlock the bootloader of any android device, the OS understands that security has been compromised (as if a backdoor was half-open). In this case, some apps, such as Netflix, banks, games, NFC payment system, understand that with this "gap" the user's security can also be compromised (bank for example) and that's why the app is not even listed in the store of apps or others work with limitations.
Sorry for delay bro

Nesse caso, alguns aplicativos, como Netflix, bancos, jogos, sistema de pagamento NFC, entendem que com essa "lacuna" a segurança do usuário também pode ser comprometida (banco por exemplo) e por isso o aplicativo nem está listado na loja de aplicativos ou outros funcionam com limitações.

Hello friend, once again I'm here this time to pass on a feedback about my experience with edge S pro as I said I bought one in the Aliexpress store and it's already in my hands and to tell the truth for those who are Brazilian use the sealed box version and BAD put the apps don't notify normally and this is extremely important put if you don't have notification you don't know what is happening to me particularly even using morelocale 2 still the experience with it is uncomfortable put the whole system continues in english the update issue for this chinese model is also long overdue for security patch and all the rest there are many background bugs in apps like you leave one to go to another when come back it bugs not to open you have to close it and then open it again you can't replace system apps with epps from play store put like i said above don't notify watch app messages app nothing on mi in my opinion it unlocks and uses a global rom even with the cons use it at a good cost together with magisk to release the security security Net I believe you guys know what this is or if not nothing bad use it stock china

You need to use the SpFlashTool tool on this device, for being a mediatek the miflash tool does not work at all, I speak from experience lose, but there in the tool you have to just the Donwload option or the device can block no bootloader and even lose the IMEI, and gives a lot of work to recover again, and also need to use the Bipass Tool before the SpFlashTool, without the Bipass tool does not work .
*****************************************************************

If you are stuck on fastboot mode on your POCO M3 Pro, don't worry! There are a few things that you can try in order to fix this issue.
First, try restarting your phone. If that doesn't work, then try booting into recovery mode and doing a factory reset. If that still doesn't work, then you may need to flash a new ROM onto your phone.
If you are not comfortable with any of these solutions, then you can always take your phone to a POCO service center or a qualified repair shop. They will be able to help you troubleshoot the issue and get your phone working again.

i did solve it using a new rom (13.0.2) and the phone started normally

Question Update Moto Camera Edge 30 Ultra
