mi9t pro - Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe

Hi I have purchased the mi9t pro EU version of the phone and would like to unlock the bootloader and possibly try a rom. Are the instructions exactly the same as the k20 pro for carrying out the procedures or do I need to wait for a separate Mi9t pro thread.

Advice Mi 9T Pro or K20 Pro Global or K20 Pro China

Hi,
I'm french and I need your help to make a choice between a Mi 9T Pro, a K20 Pro Global or a K20 Pro China.
I already now how to root, flash etc. but I'm not sure if it's more interesting to buy a K20 Pro in China version to flash a cleen Global Rom or to buy a K20 Pro in Global version which need to flash a China firmware before flash a Global Rom.
What should I do ?
Thanks

If you don't need HD streaming in Netflix, no Banking apps, and band 20 (or other global bands), then Chinese variant can be an option, probably cheaper than other variants.

If you’re tight on budget then buying K20 Pro Chinese model would be the cheapest option. If you have those extra bucks, then go for Mi 9T Pro. You could also buy the K20 Pro global version but that is only sold in India for now. All those chinese sellers claiming to sell you a Global variant are just fake. It would be a Chinese K20 Pro with a fake global rom on it.
You could anytime flash a Global rom on the Chinese unit but the only caveat is that you’ll have to keep the boot loader unlocked forever.

The biggest thing to consider is probably if you need LTE band 20.
The Chinese version will be considerably the cheapest option.
Even though the phone display is FHD+, you really won't see any benefit in watching FHD contact on the phone, so having Widevine L1 is not really worth worrying about.
You can overcome most security issues with banking apps buy using Magisk and installing appropriate modules to pass safety net.
If you decide to go with a Chinese phone, then it would probably be best to get it with the Chinese ROM and then unlock the phone yourself, then you are safe should you accidentally relock the phone later.
The main questions is this:
Those of you who have bought K20 Pro and are using it in Europe or somewhere else, are you facing significant drops in LTE signal? Please specify if you live in city or rural area.

So if I buy a K20 Pro I will never relock the bootloader ? Should it be a problem for something ? I actually never relocked a bootloader on my previously phones.

The problem with the unlocked bootloader is that it causes the phone to fail the SafetyNet test. Many banking apps won't work if it fails SafetyNet checks.
Using certain Magisk modules can hide the fact the bootloader is unlocked from the SafetyNet checks.

There is no global K20 Pro, only Chinese and Indian. The Mi 9T Pro is what is sold globally. Just install the Mi 9T Pro global ROM found here https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/rom-miui-10-global-t3963699/post80169909

Those ROMs, from top to bottom are Chinese, European, global, Indian and Russian.
I guess the Russian release is due soon if the ROM has already appeared.
The European, Indian and Russian ROMs are slightly modified versions of MIUI global and so are considered as global ROMs by Xiaomi.
Edit: just took anther look and, going off the file names, I guess they aren't full ROMs, looks like someone packaged up the latest vendor and firmware images into a single recovery zip for each model.
Cannot see the point of this. The k20 pro is cheaper then the mi9t pro. Normally people want to go the other way around flashing global to a a k20 pro.
If you want chinese just get the k20 pro and get rid off the mi9t??? ;p
yes you can, make sure you already unlocked your bootloader

Redmi K20 Pro 8GB 256GB - Chinese or Global?

Hello,
I want to buy the K20 pro from aliexpress but can not decide which version to buy, the Chinese or the Global.
Does it make a difference which version I pick, if I wipe the device anyway?
Or do I need the Global version for LTE to fully functioning in Germany?
Thanks in advance
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/330...rchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_60
This is a k20 pro chinese which means no band 20 for lte
You check google and some sites to know the bands you need
But you will either choose global rom ( with unlocked bootloader by the seller ) or chinese rom with locked bootloader
The one that has band 20 is the mi 9t pro
The mi 9t pro doesnot have a 256GB version till now as far as I know so for sure this is a k20 pro missing the band 20
For me in my country, we donot have band 20 used and if I travelled to an area where it is a must I will use 3g instead but if I am living in a band 20 area then it is a must

One german user bought the Global version from aliexpress and posted a screenshot of the system information in the comments on aliexpress. It shows Mi 9t pro.
Did someone on here bought the phone from aliexpress and can confirm that band 20 and lte are working?
Buy Global version. B20 may definitely come in handy especially in Europe. You can buy it here: https://www.eglobalcentral.de/xiaom...ne-sim-lock-redmi-k20-pro-carbon-schwarz.html or here: https://www.wondamobile.com/xiaomi-mi-9-pro-hk-global-version-256-gb-unlocked.html
I bought it in the first shop
Versions from AliExpress are just normal K20 Pro without B20 support, even if they have flashed global rom
Definitly buy global version ( with b20 support) for germany , because you will see diference in rural areas where german operators use b20 band for 4g, lte coverage. I have k20 pro chinese ver and sometimes i dont have 4g,lte in those places.

Yes I'm sure. Xiaomi released Global 8/256 version but only in HongKong. It supports B20 100%
They even say they released 8/256 M Mi 9T Pro on their page: https://www.mi.com/global/mi-9-t-pro/specs

I totally get your point, that's why I created this thread in the first place.
But how do you know, that the global version from aliexpress does not have the b20 band, but the global version from eglobal or wandamobile have the b20 band?

Honestly i'm not 100% sure but i've checked opinions about some of the more popular offers and they all said that it's just K20 Pro with flashed global ROM - not true Mi 9T Pro Global version and also I can't really find such offer that would explicitly say it's a global version with such specs. Either Mi 9T Pro 6/128 or K20 Pro 8/256 with flashed Global ROM (but still without B20)

If the system information screen says 'Mi 9t pro', then the phone would 100% have the B20 band, correct?

well as far as i know, not really. After all it could be normal K20 Pro with flashed Global ROM. If you flash that rom it will change name according to the region. You would have to check if the device has locked or unlocked bootloader. If it has locked BL and name Mi 9T Pro then it's very possible it's a model with B20 support because you can't lock a bootloader on K20 Pro with flashed global rom.

Ok, thanks pal. Then I'll go with the 6/128GB version from eglobal. It's the more safe option.
I also think this is good enough hardware for a casual user anyway.

The Mi 9T Pro 8GB/256GB is on sale at the moment and 20€ cheaper.

I got some doubts.

Hi, i couldn't find a thread like this so if there is any sorry. I'm going to get k20 pro in couple of days, so i got some questions.
Can i install mi 9t pro global rom on k20 pro(i see that xiaomi eu rom is for both k20 pro and 9t pro).
And custom roms(like aosp, pixel) are they compatible with both versions of phones or they are made individually.
I hope you understood what i wanted to ask.

The two phones are essentially the same hardware, and SoC, yes you could potentially flash the mi 9t pro's Rom on the redmi k20 pro.
The Mi 9T Pro is meant for European markets and comes with band 20 that is required for those regions, specifically.
To install ROMs like Pixel Experience or AOSP, they're based on Chinese or Indian firmware, so you'll need to install their respective fastboot ROMs to use them, not at all complicated just look around on the forums, and you'll find guides to install the custom ROMs.

No I would suggest you to use the mi flash tool and download the fastboot rom to get to the global version of miui 10 for k20 pro. You can get it from mifirm (google it), and use the rom in mi flash tool much easier, but you have to have an unlocked bootloader first

Only if you have a global phone. You will hard brick the phone if you try and lock the bootloader after flashing a ROM that is for a different region to the phone. You can only successfully lock the bootloader when the phone has the stock ROM that is for the same region as the phone.

Just go with OnePlus7/pro/T/T-pro whatever if you value your money, phone and security updates.

The lessons here are.
Don't listen to people who clearly don't know what there talking about.
If you want a locked bootloader and save between $100 - $300 over an new OnePlus phone, then buy the phone for the region your in. European phone in the EU, Indian in India and a global phone for anywhere else.
If you want to save between $200 - $400 over a OnePlus phone and can live with an unlocked bootloader, then buy a Chinese K20 Pro.

So there is no need to pay 50$ more for global version while u can put it on chinese one right. Expect for people that dont know much about roms right?

Again as has been mentioned many times, you want to make sure the phone you get is compatible radio, and bandwise to the region you live in.
For example in Canada, the Chinese or Indian Redmi k20 pro, has some of the bands required to run, but msot importantly misses band 20, and a few others that would make it much more well suited.
So for this reason the only version that will work is the Mi 9T Pro, either the global version or the EEA version meant for European markets.
To check for compatibility region wise go to kimovil (google it) and make sure it works in your region. Otherwise it's not really a phone of any use if it doesn't function as one in whatever niche area of the world you may happen to live in.
Do your research, and avoid expensive regrets, good luck :good:

Miui 11 & android 10

Hi respectful developers,
I bought Redmi K20 Pro from Australia, on the back of the device it is labelled as Redmi K20 pro but in the about phone section it is Mi 9T pro as prior to exporting it to Australia, exporters unlocked the bootloader and installed the global MIUI 10 (see snapshots).
Now the question, will this device in my hand get MIUI11 and Android 10? If yes, when? Will this update revert the device to the Chinese MIUI 11 ROM? If yes, how to get the official global MIUI 11 for the Redmi K20 pro?
I am currently residing in Egypt and would very much appreciate your good technical assistance.
Regards,
Mohamed Atteya
Basically they flashed 9T global ROM in your K20 pro. Which further means the bootloader is unlocked, if yes, you will still get OTAs when they arrive and you will be able to install them, OTA will come of same ROM and not of a different region so rest assured you won't go back to chinese.
HOWEVER. If you will use miflash tool to flash any other region's ROM, MAKE SURE you DON'T check on CLEAN ALL AND LOCK option in bottom right corner. Only check CLEAN ALL. This is because locking a bootloader with different region ROM installed bricks your phone.

Try to change your region to other country like Spain or Germany, reboot your phone and check your system update (updater).

Basically they flashed 9T global ROM in your K20 pro. Which further means the bootloader is unlocked, if yes, you will still get OTAs when they arrive and you will be able to install them, OTA will come of same ROM and not of a different region so rest assured you won't go back to chinese.
HOWEVER. If you will use miflash tool to flash any other region's ROM, MAKE SURE you DON'T check on CLEAN ALL AND LOCK option in bottom right corner. Only check CLEAN ALL. This is because locking a bootloader with different region ROM installed bricks your phone.
