I have ordered the Explorer version, which is not there yet, come the days. Has anyone experienced what it looks like with a global version, so to install it? with locked bootloader? Am now back to miui for years and have lost something the overview. Will of course open the bootloader, but that always takes a bit
Congratulation for your Explorer Edition.
you can switch from china to global with unlocked bootloader (after 300 hours) but you should not lock the bootloader back after flashing, this will brick your device.
2nd disadvantage of these chinese edition is lack of LTE band 20.
If you are a european user this will have negative impact of your mobile coverage because most of our mobile phone providers use this band.
I would also like to have had the explorer edition but lack of Band 20 isn't a compromise for me.
yes thank you for the info, just hope the Xiaomi not sometime the bootloader still locks permanently.
seems like China version can install global rom via unlocked bootloader.
is there any instruction on how to do so?
also what will happen if bootloader is unlocked? thanks in advance!
Is there any way to install global rom on china version with locked Bootloader? Maybe with XiaoMiTool V2 ?

Yes, go to any Xiaomi subforum and ask, what will happen, when you buy chinese hardware and flash global rom - it will brick.
Thanks for answer.

Google Pay won't work with a unlocked bootloader and no root

You can flash the xiaomi.eu ROM, which passes safety net.

They not talking about the play store but google pay (formally known as Android pay) which doesn't work or typically doesn't work if the bootloader is unlocked, but magisk root I believe has a mod to by pass but don't quote me on that I haven't used a xiaomi device before and haven't rooted my phone since I used my old Nexus 6p (which had bootloader unlocked and root with google pay working)(using Huawei mate 10 pro without root)

ah yes, some apps like google pay have root detection but magisk now a days have circumvented that now.
I ordered my X2 Pro off the Realme EU website only yesterday afternoon, I saw some people having issues with the fingerprint scanner not working after unlocking the bootloader which seems to be patched as of A08. My main question now is if Widevine is still L3 after the bootloader unlock or is it L1?
L3. It's not a bug, it's by design.

I’m plenty aware, but from my understanding you can root whilst retaining L1 on some devices. I was wondering if that is the case here.

GPay won't work without some injection zip to bypass it and bank apps - it depends on your bank. my bank don't require locked bootloader

all android mobile phone have that option. It doesnt mean you can unlock bootloader

You just said something that's incorrect, not all phones have the option to enable boot unlock your device. For example my OnePlus 7T did not allowed me to enable this mode(it was grayed out) until I was able to get t-mobile to unlock the phone. So at that moment I couldn't do nothing. So enabling this option is the first big step to boot unlocking the device.
Stranger_Q said:
您刚才说了一些不正确的话，不是所有手机都可以选择启用您的设备，在我可以使用 t-mobile 手机手机之前，我的 OnePlus 7T 不允许我启用此模式（显示为灰尘） 。所以那一刻我什么也做不了。因此，这种选项是启动设备的启动。

Can u help me flashing global ROM from CN Origin OS?
I am very confused right now. Does your phone loose widevine L1 support when bootloader is unlocked. Do custom ROMs support Widevine L1. This is going to influence my purchase decision
Any help is appreciated

With the bootloader unlocked, I always have L1 support in all custom ROMs I have tried.
Cheers!
