Hi i bought a Chinese version of k20 Pro with unlocked bootloader and indian rom installed. I've already got twrp and magisk installed. I use nfc a lot for payments and was wondering if i could just flash eu rom through twrp. Will it brick my phone?

Yes you can install it, no you won't brick the phone. Have a look at this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/k2...xiaomi-eu-rom-fix-gpay-t3946342/post79859363, the last part is for getting Gpay working, so may also be relevant for other banking apps that use NFC contactless payments.

Hello,
I unlocked the bootloader, install few custom roms but i didnt like it. Today I backed to MIUI 10 1.2 Global (installing from TWRP, and after this installing dm verity) and I noticed that is not possible to use GPay if I dont install Magisk.
There is some way to keep the booloader unlocked and use google pay? I read I should not be a problem but I got it...
Thanks!
Install xiaomi.eu ROM.

Hi all,
is it possible to unroot the device, maybe through flashing stock firmware, and then use GPay as before rooting it? Even if the bootloader remains unlocked?
Thx in advance

How did you root it? Google Pay works fine on my rooted phone but there's a couple steps to get it to work.
It does work, but I want to sell my Mi 11, because I got a Mi 11 Ultra for not too much money. So I want to flash the original Software on the Mi 11 again. The question is, if GPay will still work after that.
I rooted it by converting the Boot.img file with the magisk app

Not sure. I don't have any experience with just an unlocked bootloader. I always have root along with it. Why aren't you locking the bootloader as well? China Variant? Usually, it makes more sense to lock the bootloader as well if you're selling it ?
It's the german variant. Isn't it risky to relock the bootloader?
There's no relocking risk if you flash the stock firmware beforehand.
Ok, thank you
Ok, thank you
I've tried before with several Xiaomi devices before Mi11 (mi8, mi9, poco x3 nfc and pro), but it surely works.

It's risky to lock with a different regional ROM on them. The only one that I know for sure about is the China variant of the phone which can only be locked with the OEM china firmware. The original ROM the phone came locked with is no risk at all. It might also be that the China variant is an outlier because they're not allowed to have GAPPS there.
Hi,
I have a Chinese Mi 11 Ultra. I have used the Mi flash tool to flash the EU based version of the ROM but I did not lock the bootloader. This has brought in some problems, such as GPay not working, which I dont really mind but the Mcdonalds app with the coupons also wont start up.
I am wondering, if I get the EU miui13 fastboot rom (original from Xiaomi), and use the mi flash tool to flash it, can I also lock the bootloader? Will it be fine or will it brick the device?
I believe this answers your question: https://c.mi.com/thread-2584760-1-1.html
The TLDR is you can only lock bootloader in China devices if you flash the China ROM. Some people claim to have successfully flashed China ROMs on Glogal phones and locked the bootloader without any issues but you'd be taking a risk.

do not close bootloader do not do it
you only close bootloader if your in CN version
i had to pay 70 $ to bring my mi 11 ultra from dead, after installing miui 13 EEA version and locked bootloader using flashmiui

Hi, Thanks for the answer. Guess I cant lock the bootloader then. Do you know of anyway to get the services working that require a locked bootloader? Iirc it's to so with safetynet but I cant remember if it was possible to overcome this with magisk. I havent been on the rooting scene for a long time so I didnt follow any updates

Magisk + safetynet fix
Done
I had the Chinese model and flashed the EU Rom from this thread
Oneplus 10 Pro Global Rom India / eu
Can I relock the bootloader so I can use Google Pay or is this going to brick the phone?
Thanks
I use gpay with magisk ..

You don't need to...I use gpay and banking software whilst rooted and with mods installed.
Just install the universal safety net fix module for Magisk and systemless, click on zygisk as well.
Then you're done
Thanks for the replies guys but I really want a stock android with no root or mods. Just wanna know if I can relock the bootloader without bricking.
Thanks

If you have root right now. You need to go to magisk and tap unistall. Then full uninstall. Phone will reboot. Just to be safe. Then you can lock the bootloader.
Hi,
I bought 3 years ago a new Xiaomi Mi9 M1902F1A with unlocked bootloader and global version installed. This model is a China version with 8Gb RAM.
My question is if it possible to relock the bootloader ( Global version remaing ) because some apps ( ex Google Pay ) not accept unlocked bootloader.
Thanks

Nope,if you lock it with this version of rom, the phone is bricked.
Root the phone and use Magisk.

Maybe you misunderstood.
If you root the phone and use Magisk, the play store will be certified and Google pay will work (normally).

I understood exactly. How many versions of Magisk stopped working and an update was needed . I know what is Magisk is and I know the challenge from Google certification and Magisk cheating. This is a never ending story. And you know why I stoped using root and Magisk. Because exactly when I needed moustly the Magisk stopped working.

Well, well, if you change your phone, check that it is compatible with at least a Xiaomi Eu rom.
