How to change rom from EEA to Global stable - Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers

Hi.
Im on EEA pfaeuxm v10.2.24.0.
I want to switch to the latest global stable rom.
Is it possible to switch without unlocking bootloader?
Someone told me that they managed to do it via miflash tool only without unlocking bootloader.
Thanks

I switched from EEA ROM to Global Weekly while my bootloader was still locked using XiaomiTool V2. You should be able to find it in one of the threads. MI Flash definitely won't allow you to change ROMs while your bootloader is locked.

I did try to switch using the local update method but I kept getting the can't verify installation package error.

Just search XiaoMiTool V2, easy , i just switched from EEA to Beta Global without issues.
Only downside i found, it's a windows app, you will need a PC to do it.

Yes. For global beta its a two step procedure, you need to use tool to get global stable first, then flash dev version with phone updater.
The tool will leave you with global stable.
Pay attention it will wipe your phone, backup your data first.

Hi thanks
To make sure. Please se below procedure that im going to do if correct.
1. Use xiaomitool v2 to change from EEA to global stable
2. Use phone updater to change from global stable to global dev weekly.
Another question. Can i also use xiaomitool v2 to change to xiaomi.eu rom?
Im torn between global stable and xiaomi.eu rom

#1 and #2, correct. Don't remember if there is a tutorial on XDA about it, but it is straight forward.
Xiaomi.eu requires a unlocked bootloader.

One last question, hopefully.
- do we really need to go to global stable first before going to global dev? Or can we flash from EEA to global dev directly?

Yes, you won't be able to flash directly global dev unless you have a unlocked bootloader. The app itself will report the error.

I don't remember needing to flash Global Stable first but it's possible--the tool is pretty much automated so you shouldn't have a problem.

Thanks

The version that you received is android Pie?
Because since my bootloader is based in android Pie, and Miui has anti-role back feature, i cannot install oreo based versions.
The phone is a chinese version and had the bootloader unlocked.
But with a update it locked and now it enters in recovery mode (enters in recovery mode and only enables flashing zip files).
The rom that it has is the global 8.9.20 and it only accepts roms of the same version or above in chinese (to fix the soft brick)...

For now you can, anti-var=1 for 9.0 builds, which means anti rollback is not yet enabled. So yes u can go dwon to 8.0 for now. But this does not apply for builds in the future, check your anti-var number first!

It can be true if you have the bl unlocked and flash it by fastboot.
Since i have bl locked and i'm stuck with recovery mode, i can only flash it using beta MI PC suite or http://www.xiaomitool.com/
By recovery i tried to downgrade from MI8Global_8.9.20 to MI8_8.9.6 and it gives this messages:
With mi pc suite:
{

With xiaomi tool:
If i try the MI8Global_8.9.6 (that is android 8.0) it says:
So i must use Android 9.0 based roms.
That's why that i'm trying to download the MI8_8.9.20 (chinese) to flash it via recovery.
If you have any way to unbrick my phone via fastboot with locked bl and without going via edl, i will appreciate your help.
Thanks

Hi Ru13en,
I'm in exactly the same boat as you. I have had pretty much the same experience as you've had with locking the bootloader with the Global Rom at. I locked my bootloader with Global Stable 10.0.2.0 and managed to use XiaomiToolsADB to get unto Global Developer ROM 8.9.20. Of course, the phone stayed in a bootloop and refused to accept any other ROM, saying that they are all older versions. I've been on the hunt for the Chinese beta 8.9.20 since.
You've now tried it and although you have two other errors, it seems like the real error is that it isn't released to the public yet.
Apparently, that should change this Friday. I'd add the link but my account is new. Suffice to say, that on the Chinese Xiaomi forums, they say the Chinese dev rom for 8.9.20 was delayed due to the Chinese holidays. But the schedule is to be released to the public this Friday October 12th.
I'm hopeful that we are correct in thinking that attempting to flash the Chinese 8.9.20 dev rom will allow the phone to boot. Because otherwise, I'm fresh out of ideas!

Hi 00DicE00,
Sorry to hear that you have the same issue as me...
I know that each friday they launch a new dev ROM and we had infortune to get our phones stuck in Chinese holidays.
Friday i will check in mi foruns for the chinese public dev beta and try it on the phone.
If it works, i will make a tutorial in mi forum and xdadev to help soft bricked mi 8 phones (hard bricked, must use edl method that requires edl authorized account, which sucks).
If it doesn't work, well since i have warranty and this phone came with unlocked bootloader.
I will request refund, because i payed it as a global version and not a chinese unlocked with global rom -.-
Those that don't have warranty, should ask or buy the unlock via edl (that requires opening the phone, use edl pin and edl authorized account to reflash stock rom)
So tomorrow i will post news in this topic
Hi Ru13en,
The thing I don't understand are the version numbers for MIUI.
The rom I had when I locked my bootloader was MIUI 10.02.0 Global stable. Of course, being a Global rom with a locked bootloader, it bricked the phone. I understand that.
But then I tried to flash MIUI 10.0.5.0 Chinese stable. This is higher than 10.0.2.0 Global stable isn't it? Why did this not work? I got the same message you did saying "Sorry, flash lower version not allowed". I don't understand this.
How does MIUI number their versions? Is it different in the Chinese stable versions to what is in the Global stable versions?

To make sideload you must use dev versions and not stable versions (ota validation will not autorize you to make such update giving errors like lower, or public stable version).
Also, normally the number of Chinese versions are higher than Global versions, but it doesn't mean that they are the latest.
Because, since now the latest roms are allways created in Global version and then converted to Chinese version (with a bigger number).

Need advice for Installing Global Rom on China mi8

Hello,
I bought a Mi8 from AliExpress 2 months ago and I received the phone with China Rom. I want to install global Rom because Android 9 is rolling out soon and because of language. Ihave read that first you need to unlock bootloader and then you can install custom ROMs to your device, but I have also read that you can't install a Global Rom to a Chinese Rom phone and also something of antirollback. I also read a post where a Mi8 china got bricked because of OTA update with global Rom. At this point I'm very confused of what method I should use to install the Global Rom to my Mi8 or if it is even possible to do it. Currently my MIUI version is V10.0.9.0OEACNFH. Any Help will be appreciated :laugh:
Sorry for my noobness:crying:
can't guarantee that this will work for you ..
what i did:
bought mi 8 in china
registered it to my xiaomi account while in china
unlocked bootloader (took some weeks until i could)
flashed international rom as described on the xiaomi pages via MIUI Flashing Tool (description: http://en.miui.com/a-234.html, download page for the ROM: http://en.miui.com/download-346.html, version 10.0.2.0). only problem was to have the phone in fastboot mode recognized by windows 10 - guess it was related to some USB settings in the developer configuration.
in the meantime, i installed an OTA upgrade. now running 10.0.3.0 without issues.
cheers,
sebastian

Chinese stable rom to eu?

Hi all, my mi 9 currently has the Chinese rom which I would like to replace with the stable EU/US. Can I do so without unlocking bootloader? thx!
No way to flash miui eu rom because it without fastbootrom.
So you just can flash MIUI EN Global stable ROM by fastboot method.

China or global version over Europian one

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

I'd recommend the xiaomi.eu stable/beta roms.
The flashing guide is pretty self explanatory in their site.

Question Flag 12.5 EU rom to global mi 11 ultra

Hi sorry it this has been asked before but I've recently received my mi 11 ultra global version from Vodafone UK. Like the phone but some issues that are making me debate whether to keep it. Touches missing, battery life and sub par camera. Because I'm on the global version I'm on MiUI 12.0.2. I was wondering if anyone knows if I can flash the EU rom onto this to try out 12.5 to see if I want to keep the phone. I highly doubt we'll see a global release for 12.5 before my time to return the device runs out. Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks
You need to apply for the bootloader unlock process ( takes around 7 days ) and then you can flash the fastboot xiaomi.eu ROM on it just fine.
Good luck !
Brilliant thanks for the reply mate
So my bootloader is unlocked. I got Chinese model with global flashed. Can i flash EU rom via fastboot itself?

Of course you can especially by fastboot. You can flash EU custom ROM or EEA The only problem is you will have Chinese Bands no matter what ROM you install.

Flash it by twrp, not fastboot. Just in case. It's much safer by twrp. And of course, you'll need to track down a Vodafone ROM to return it if you do but I doubt it after flashing EU. And don't worry about the bands as someone said, you'll not miss out on anything.

I am assuming you mean stock. That would actually be the EEA rom. The Xiaomi.eu rom, which is the China rom. minus Chinese bloat and Google services added in must be flashed using TWRP.

He could flash the earlier one by fastboot
Why would flash a rom from over a month ago? The last fastboot rom was issued 5-13.
