Downloading an EEA ROM for use with Xiaomi MiFlash - Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers

Hi all,
First of all please bear with me as I am a total noob when it comes to Android let alone the Mi 9. I have just purchased the phone and now waiting for the 360 hours to expire. Tick tock...
So in preparation I have been looking for ways to flash my phone to the MIUI EEA ROM (I have a global version running global ROM). I know MIFlash should be able to do the trick, but it seems to me there are two types of ROM files - one for the OTA update (i.e. so you would copy the file over to the phone, then use the system update feature within the phone's setting to invoke the update process), and another type of ROM files for use by MiFlash.
Assuming this is true, so far I could only manage to find the OTA update ROM for EEA:
h<spacer>ttp<spacer>:/<spacer>/en.miui.com/download-361.html#588 (sorry new users aren't allowed to post links hence this. Please copy and delete the spacers)
Does anyone know where I could grab a copy of the EEA ROM that I could use with Mi Flash so after my phone eventually gets it bootloader unlocked, I could proceed with the switch from Global to EEA?
Or am I getting this whole concept wrong?
Thanks and cheers !

Accidentally Locked the bootloader with the custom rom installed

So I installed a custom rom in my new k20 pro lately, and accidentally locked the device after installed the custom rom inside. Now, my device is refusing to open the new rom and stuck in redmi recovery mode. It said that "this MIUI version cant be installed on this device". I tried to unlock the phone again, but xiaomi said that it takes at least 30 days to unlock a new device. Im kinda sad and confused about this, please help.
How did you lock the bootloader with custom ROM installed?

Did you try to flash custom rom using miflash?
Hi! I have the same issue on my Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro (It was Chinese) but it came unlocked with xiaomi.eu rom.
After i installed a global rom, and google wallet nfc pay did not work, so i thought okay i will lock it then so maybe wallet would accept it, (with the eu rom it worked before) so i put the device in fastboot and used fastboot oem lock on cmd...
And from then it stucks on miui recovery 5.0 screen, and says, this miui version can't be installed on this device...
I might not enabled oem unlocking before i shut if off, but i added it to my mi account so i dont know if after a week i can maybe unlock it. But i think the other possible solution would be to sideload the original chinese stock rom, which is for M2102K1AC, Mi 11 pro, codename mars, but i couldn't find it anywhere... If someone can upload a link to it, that would be a huge help! Or any idea! thx!

HI! i got a mi 11 pro 1 year ago, and it was offically chinese, but it came unlocked with Xiaomi.eu firmware, but i could't update it via the updater app, so i searched and found the global star version and just flashed it, everything worked, only now google pay nfc didnt work, it said that its probably because of the unlocked bootloader, so i got to fastboot and in cmd i sent fastboot oem lock, and since then my phone is stuck in miui recovery 5.0 screen and says that i cannot run this firmware on the device, i tried to unlock it but failed, maybe after a week, but i think that i didnt turn on oem unlocking on the phone itself before this... So im just hoping that after a week unlocking could be done... Or my other idea is, that i could install the original chinese rom with sideload, because i managed to install another global version on it since, but the result is still the same, the only problem is that i cannot find literally anywhere a mars codenamed firmware...

Anyone who might have the same situation, i found a simple, but effective solution, not sure if it works on every xiaomi device, but i will write down the steps here:
You need to use XiaomiADB, here is the download link and the description for how to use it -> https://xiaomiui.net/how-to-use-xiaomiadb-8044/ (if the page is not available, then feel free to msg me!)
For xiaomi adb, you need to go to 3rd option on the miui recovery screen, NOT THE FASTBOOT
So basically i went through the steps to “xiaomiadb sideload_miui <filename>”
And I tried to install a rom, BUT IT DIDNT ACCEPT IT!
The message was:
ERROR: This rom cannot be installed, server code -> 2001, server message -> Can't install unofficial rom
after trying 4 times all the same and: Installation of this rom via stock recovery is not allowed by Xiaomi
Says Installation failed, and then i just decided to download another rom so i PLUGGED OUT THE PHONE right after this, and went to another room to connect to wired network, to download and try a different rom... when i came back, to all my surprise, the phone was turned on, so i went to the setting dev ops and enabled bootloader unlocking, linked it to my account enabled adb and everything that is needed to flash another rom later, so then i rebooted and again, miui recovery 5.0 screen, but now i enabled unlocking, so i put the phone in fastboot, and tried MI UNLOCKER TOOL again, now it says: Please unlock 168 hours later. And do not add your account in MIUI again, otherwise you will wait from scratch.
So that means, after 7 days i wll be able to unlock it, until then, i can turn it on with the above method, in short try to sideload (copy and install) a rom to it, and then after it failed, plug it out and just wait like 10-20 maybe 30 seconds and bam your device is normally booted... I hope it helps to some of you, (i have been searching for the solution for almost a week, my other option was to pay someone who can MAYBE do it or send the phone back to china and pay the repairs, so im really happy with this method! If it helps to you, please reply so i and the others will know that it worked! Have a nice day!

Mi8 H3G ROM

Hi, I'm a new user in the UK. My phone is running MIUI 10.3.4.0 Stable. I've tried to update through XDA forums to 10.3.5.0 but get a message that I can't downgrade.
I've tried to download the official MIUI 11 package from the website and this tells me that my current ROM carrier is different to that in the update package.
My system info says I'm running global 10.3.4.
Can anyone explain why I can't update and what I need to do to update.
I've found out that the ROM is specific to Three UK. Will unlocking the bootloader enable me to install the global ROM without me having to wait for Three to get their arse in gear?
Phone Mi8
Thanks

As soon as you can unlock your bootloader you should give Xiaomi.EU a try, its the bleeding edge development rom, and is extremely stable, and much improved over your current version. It is a huge improvement.
Plus the security certificates are dated Jan 2020
Thanks, I'll give that a go. I've got the software from Xaiomi website. Thanks again.
Well, that didn't work. Can't get any version to install. Time for a rethink.
I had this discussion with three yesterday as they are the ones that are holding it back. The guy I spoke to didn't have a clue. So much so he tried giving me Hauwei number so I could call them to resolve it. Then he gave me xiaomi's number. But when I told him to stop being silly and just explain why they are the only carriers holding it off and restricting the latest security on our phones he's said that they were in the process of looking into whether it would be better for their customers. I told him I was a customer and it should be up to me to decide and I didn't need a babysitter he just gave a generic "we are in the process of looking at it" so if you're on 3 as we are I don't think it will be pushed out on an OTA anytime soon.
Thanks. I've unlocked the bootloader now. Still unable to install a global or EU ROM so I'm going to install TWRP and flash it that way once I've backed it up.
Well, I'm glad to say I've solved it without having to root the phone. Just need to relock the bootloader again incase I need to sell the phone on.
I had to install TWRP through fastboot then install the zip file. The only issue I had was being unable to install the ADB on windows 10 so ended up swapping hard drives, installing Windows 7 then installing the drivers. That seems to have done the trick.

Yes, Windows 10 is absolutely ridiculous. but you can get Adb tools to work on Windows 10 by disabling driver signature enforcement.

Xiaomi mi9 Vodafone Rom

Hi everyone!
So, I just bought myself a Xiaomi mi 9, and the phone itself is great. Still, I'm having a problem related to the ROM that's installed on my device.
When buying this phone, I was looking for a global version. I found one online from local shop, and I was pleased to find what I was looking for. But now after 2 weeks, I was searching the web about updates and MIUI 11. Soon after, I realized that my phone was running a ROM version called 10.2.18.0 PFAEUVF. Now from my understanding VF stands for Vodafone, a carrier I don't even have in my country. The problem with this is that from what I've been reading online, that all updates will be slower, and possibly tweaked from Vodafone before I get them. And frankly, I'm not interested in this at all.
So my questions: Can I put the correct EU or Global ROM on my device fairly easy?
Will I be able to lock bootloader again, so I can use bank related services after?
I'm not new to Android, but I would be extremely grateful if someone could help, or give me a detailed guide on the matter if it's possible to solve. English is not my native language, so it's not always that easy understanding how to-do guides when reading a ton of information.
Sorry for the long text, and if someone know anything about this, I will patiently wait for your reply
Sincerely
Fred

well, if you already have the bootloader unlocked and you are "carrier free" in that phone, you can flash the EEA ROM or the Global ROM from Xiaomi using MiFlashTools, download that and download the zip of the rom, need to be a fastboot ROM, its pretty easy to find since you are on MIUI10, there's lot of MIUI10 ROM for Mi9.
In the MiFlashTool in the bottom right see if they have the option "clean all and lock" or something like that, extract the zip of the ROM you downloaded and then search the folder in the MiFlashTool, click start (dont forget to put the phone in fastboot mode, phone off, press and hold volume up + power button) and thats it, pretty easy.

Im unlocking bootloader, waiting for timer to go down. So basically the most important thing to me, is that I I'm able to flash normal/global ROM without Vodafone and then lock bootloader again without damaging anything. I did not buy the phone through carrier, although the phone came with this Vodafone ROM sh...t
Vodafone is not a carrier in my country, so I've been using my local simcard without any problem, so I guess that a good thing.
@Fredoksi: how did it work out at what did you flash? An EU or a global ROM and do you get updates after the flash or do you need to install these yourself?

Hi @Sun_is_shining, I'm in the same situation. Unlocked my phone but got a Vodafone rom.
I see that you mention to activate the option "clean all and lock". Why should I do that? Isn't that going to lock the phone again?
I want to install Lineage 17.1 unoffical rom on my phone so what is the best way to go?
Other queistion. Currently I have a 10.2 MIUI. Is it best to install an 11.XX rom first and then the Lineage of can I go straight to the Lineage rom?
I'll hope you have some answers

It worked flawlessy for me. I went from vodafone (EUVF) to European (EUXM) and locked bootloader instantly when flashing. I also recommend after booting up the first time after flashing, to go to settings and do a factory reset first before you use it.
Installed 11.0.8.0 QFAEUXM and upgraded directly to MiUI 11. I get system apps updates, but due to Coronavirus I don't think they have newer firmware versions at the moment. Nevertheless, OTA should not be a problem when available.
Feel free to ask if you have any other questions.

Well, first of all I wanted to see if it was possible. If this was not the case, I would probably return it due to harder aftermarket sale. Secondly I didn't want the hassle when using things like Bank ID etc, and yes I know there is a lot of working mods and what not, but again if I sell the phone, the other person might not be into modding etc, so all in all a mix of ease of use and safety from my side.

Hi @Fredoski!
Thanks for your reply. Are you from Brazil? I"m from Rio.
I bought a Mi 9 yesterday and find the same situation.
Can you help me? I have some questions:
1- Where can I download the tools to do the flash operation? It's the same MiFlash used to unlock the device (miflash_unlock-en-3.5.1108.44.zip). Have long time ago I used to do this kind of thing on my smartphones. :silly:
2- If I understand well, you flash the MIUI 11 on top of the MIUI 10 Vodafone, is that corect? The ROMs on MIUI ROM page are "fastboot" ROMs? Could I use this to flash the smartphone?
3- Any others complains about? I can't brick my smartphone on the process!
I'm glad if you or others members could help me!
Thanks!
Done!
I already made the ROM flash to EEA ROM. Thanks!
Hi,
I wanted to ask how it is with the warranty.
Do I still have warranty if I go from the MIUI 11.0.10.0 (QJBEUVF) to the MIUI 12.0.1.0 (QJBEUXM).
I would be very thankful if I could get an answer.
Like you did it with MIUI 10 Vodafone to MIUI 11 Global EU
Hello,
I'm in Portugal and I bought a Mi Note 10 Lite carrier free but with a Vodafone Rom... Weird...
Can you please tell me steps to remove this Rom and install Miui 12 Global?
Thanks.
Best regards,
Pedro

Question Mi 11 Pro

Hi guys,
Has anyone bought the mi 11 Pro yet and if they have what do they think of it? I know it's China only but I'm interested in it compared to the Ultra which seems just too much (as a phone) and I ask here because the Pro and Ultra are very similar devices after seeing a tear down, only major difference are the camera modules except the main one.

Hi, i have an mi 11 pro, i love this device. For me the Ultra is as you already said "too much". The Mi 11 pro is mor decent. I flashed 12.5 eu rom and it is awesome.

I'm curious about the flashing side but I'm a bit of a novice and may stick with the China Rom and adapt to it and follow the guides in this forum.
I have a cn/mi 11 pro as well and would like to know if you just followed the instructions on the 1st page for the mi11pro/ultra thread to flash stanble 12.5 eu, my current firmware is china/cn 12.0.13 latest ota update I can get...been reading there that bootloop on fastboot is rampant and you need EDL to flash the original/global rom, scared to throw $30 for that
@Kaleidoscope1337
So i was also very nervous but i thought If i get into bootloop then i can call edl for unbricking my device. So IT would only cost me 30 Dollar and i also would be on global. EU Rom is better but edl cant flash EU
(CTTO, steps from xiaomi.eu)
Succeed to flash mi11PRO from 12.0.13CN to 12.5.3 .EU and my step as below...
1. Login Miflash tool
2. Setting phone to Fastboot mode
3. Unlocked phone and reboot
4. Quick setting and make sure can login to phone
5. Setting phone to Fastboot mode again
6. Open CMD as administrator
7. Go to folder platform-tools-windows as keying command
fastboot devices > check phone already link with PC
fastboot getvar current-slot > check slot is a or b, and my device show the slot on b
fastboot set_active a > change the slot from b to a
8. Back to extract file folder and keying command
windows_fastboot_first_install_with_data_format.bat OR
./windows_fastboot_first_install_with_data_format.bat
9. Phone will auto reboot when finished (takes about 15mins to boot).
How does the EU rom compare to Chinese rom?
.eu rom is base on the chinese rom with tweak, for me its the smoothness, no bloatware and the battery, on cn rom im getting around 5-6hr sot only upon flashing .eu rom im hovering around 7-8hr sot easily, also i noticed on initial boot, ram was only around 4gb on .eu vs cn rom where it will eat around 5gb on boot

Go for the Mi 11 Pro if you don't need the zoom and just dislike the large camera bump because you're not missing out that much. They both share the same GN2 main sensor fortunately so most camera improvements usually affect the Pro too.

Which version do you have installed?? The stable or weekly??
I'm getting 4.5 SOT at best, also the phone overheats very easily.. do you have these issues??
I'm having connection issues with the following apps
Android Auto: Drops out after a couple of minutes, goes back to home screen
Dialler: Cannot have a phone conversation longer than 7-8 mins before disconnect
Messaging: Is constantly dropping out and reconnecting to my laptop
Zepp: Keeps giving connection message errors on phone and watch
I guess it's some setting but other than turn off any battery saving I'm buggered if I can find a solution.
I'm running eu rom 12.5.10

Has anyone bought the mi 11 Pro yet and if they have what do they think of it? I know it's China only but I'm interested in it compared to the Ultra which seems just too much (as a phone) and I ask here because the Pro and Ultra are very similar devices after seeing a tear down, only major difference are the camera modules except the main one.

I have Mi 11 Pro and I'm very happy with it. I didn't want the ultra as the second screen by the camera is unnecessary for me and was more expensive. The battery is good, bigger than mi 11 and screen is excellent but I prefer the aspect ratio of my old Mi Max 3

Hi,
Can you please post in full? My phone is stuck in fastboot. Cannot do anything. Thanks
Sounds more like that you need an EDL flash f you are stuck in a fastboot loop and really can't do anything more.

.eu rom is base on the chinese rom with tweak, for me its the smoothness, no bloatware and the battery, on cn rom im getting around 5-6hr sot only upon flashing .eu rom im hovering around 7-8hr sot easily, also i noticed on initial boot, ram was only around 4gb on .eu vs cn rom where it will eat around 5gb on boot

Hey man, I am on CN rom and got 19 hours of standby with 6,5 hours of SOT on my first run of the phone, with initial setup and copying data and so on. Now you scared me for the second regular run

Question Question regarding firehose

Hi all,
while flashing Xiaomi.EU ROM I ran into some issues that lead to my Mi11 getting bricked. I used one of the EDL services and within minutes my phone was running again. We flashed 12.0.13 EEA during the recovery process.
However, the first flash attempt showed an error. Something with firehose. The guy immediately knew what to do and removed the following file from the ROM folder: prog_firehose_ddr.elf
Afterward, the second flash process was completed successfully. I asked him, why the file had to be removed and what it is for (and if there is now a compromise to the installed ROM). He answered, that it is too long to explain and that the phone is like how it would leave the factory. No worries, everything is back to stock/default.
Could maybe someone briefly explain if this is something I need to worry about or if it is really okay? I tried to find what the file is used for but apart from a general description regarding the firehose protocol, I couldn't find an explanation for my scenario (and no other guide or instruction ever mentions removing that file in case of errors).
Thank you!
Do you know what was the caused you've bricked your phone? Planning to flash EU as well but reading most global mi 11 phones got bricked in the process?and how much did you pay for edl (unbridled) just in case.thanks
Not really. I installed the latest regular update (EEA version) after unlocking the bootloader and then tried to install the latest available Xiaomi.eu ROM. In the guide, they say that you should update the latest available China ROM. Someone here or over there asked if it would be required to migrate from EEA to China first and then to Xiaomi.eu and one of their devs declined that. So, I went the direct route. Maybe that caused the issue but apparently, there are many people at bricked their device. Others had to re-start the flashing process several times until it went through. Honestly, I would wait for now until this process is more reliable. If I had to do it again, I would flash China ROM first.
I updated eea before unlock. After unlock I restarted but have not finished the initial process, instead rebooted into fastboot and flashed the xiaomi.eu Rom without issues. The only issue I had was the bad usb cable I used (pc doesn't recognize the phone) after using the included cable all went fine.
Can you maybe share the files the unbricker used?
