Hi guys,
My friend bought a Redmi K20 Pro Premium Edition from China for me and I would like to flash a Global ROM on it. I don't need root or TWRP, so I presume I don't need to unlock the bootloader.
The current Chinese ROM installed on the phone is v10.4.4, but the latest stable Global is v10.3.5. Would flashing v10.3.5 Global brick the phone?
And would flashing the MI 9T Global ROM work as well, considering it's essentially the same phone?

afaik u must unlock bootloader to install other rom than k20 pro premium rom itself.
k20 pro premium is only available in china, so any global rom means it doesn't build specifically for pro premium.
The only official rom for k20 premium is Chinese ROM, all Global rom is modified version of K20 Pro/Mi 9t Pro.

Thanks for your reply.
I wasn't thinking of installing custom roms, I was referring to official stock ROMs. Apparently, you can just install the latest K20 Pro Indian Stable on the Premium Edition:
https://c.mi.com/thread-2541738-1-1.html
Would that work?

You will need to unlock the bootloader.
To flash an official ROM, but for a different region that the phone is from then you need to unlock the bootloader in order to flash a fastboot ROM.
It is not possible to flash a fastboot ROM without unlocking the bootloader

should work, but even fastboot flash using miflash need to unlock bootloader first(?).
yup sorry, I forgot you still need to unlock bootloader for fastboot to work. I know what to do now, thanks everyone!
also if flashing different region rom, never relock bootloader again, even if it was official rom.
Yup, I read that it'll brick your device if you select clean data and lock bootloader. Have noted this and thanks again for the confirmation / reminder.
You will need to unlock for sure.
It doesn't work like that
Maybe flash xiaomieu rom if u want full experience
OK, waited 168 hours and have unlocked successfully today. When I tried to flash via MiFlash, it says "mismatch image and device". I'm sure I read that the Redmi K20 PRO India fastboot ROM will work on a K20 PRO Premium Edition, so not sure why I can't flash it...
I also found a Android 9.0 fastboot ROM for K20 Premium here:
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/raphaels/
My phone is already on Android 10 MIUI 11. Will flashing an older version brick the device? I read somewhere ages ago that Android or MIUI doesn't allow downgrade?

There is no anti-rollback protection for this phone (I assume this is also true for premium edition), so you should be OK to flash an earlier Android 9 ROM.

Thanks! I can also confirm that there is no ABP, as I've verified it using this guide here:

I was able to flash the fastboot ROM, but turns out it's just an Chinese stable, not Global or India Global rom. I don't know why I can't fastboot flash the Global ROM though. The Chinese fastboot ROM has the name "PFKCNXM" in it. So I'm guessing that if I find a fastboot ROM that is similar to that, it should work. I'm currently testing out the following:
- PFKMIXM
- PFKINXM
Download links here:
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/miui/raphael/
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/miui/raphaelin/
Neither QFKMIXM or QFKINXM worked for me, so I hope one of the above will work.
update: got this working. I first flashed this:
raphaelin_in_global_images_V10.3.5.0.PFKINXM_20190816.0000.00_9.0_in
And now I can flash both QFKMIXM (9.0) or QFKINXM (10.0)
As someone mentioned in a previous reply, NFC is missing in the Global ROM. I also noticed that the mobile signal strength is lower as well and that the Dual GPS is missing too.
Would flashing the China radio/baseband fix this? I know for phones like Samsung, you can flash the CP firmware, which includes the modem/baseband firmware. I don't know what the process is to extract the firmware from the China ROM and flash it. I guess if there's a .zip file that we can flash via TWRP, then that will work?
UPDATE:
OK, have flashed TWRP and flashed the firmware that I downloaded from here:
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware
Tried both the Chinese firmware and the Global firmware. Didn't really make much difference. I had -97 dBm and now I'm on -95 dBm. The lower, the better/stronger the signal. It is an improvement, but not by much....

It's safer to stick with vendor and firmware that match the phone, so China in your case.
Use the latest TWRP from mauronofrio.

Currently I'm on Indian global firmware 12.0.4. I like to move to international global.
my questions:
1. How can I move from Indian to global firmware. what's the procedure.
2. where can I find the download link.
3. Is there any STABLE alternative firmware to MIUI. For performance and battery backup.
Thanks a lot in advance. Any help from you guys means a lot to me. Thanks.
Download the global fastboot rom and flash it through mi flash tool. It works fine i have tested it personally.
Or try xiaomi.eu rom.
Hi all,
First Xiaomi phone should be arriving in a few days, currently on a OP6T.
Looking to flash a new ROM being from the UK and need to run mobile banking apps and google pay. Also wanting to debloat the apps associated with the CN version.
I understand I need to unlock the bootloader on the device - that's fine I'll do that ASAP.
My query is... Which ROM is currently considered the most stable and user friendly for UK users? I've seen there's the .eu version based on the CN rom, the global ROM, EU and EEA roms?! Just a bit confused which one to go for. Not too fussed but would enjoy updates OTA.
Thanks in advance!
Hi dear.
You can flash latest global rom Fastboot ROM through Mi Flash Tool or flash xiaomi.eu (custom ROM)
Thanks for your reply. Is the global ROM best for UK? What's the difference between the global ROM, EEA ROM and xiaomi.eu ROM?

Hi, I prefer indonesian rom than taiwan. (12.5.6.0 indonesia - 12.5.5.0 taiwan)
Of course, both rom variants has the miui dialer. You can flash it, unlocking first your bootloader, but you don't need any custom recovery, or any other app (Miflash) to install.

You only need to decompress any fastboot rom (use Winrar) on upper folder, like C:\Temp, to avoid longer folder name route, and double click on a file called "flash_all.bat". You must wait a little time, don't worry, and you obtain a flashed indonesian rom, with all options, like any other original rom, but with miui dialer. And if you desire, you don't need to relock bootloader, because all banking apps works correctly with open bootloader.

would flashing any of these roms potentially unlock sim slot two for me if it might be software locked? currently I have the stock ZA rom MIUI Global 12.5.1 stable 12.5.1.0 (RKLZAVC) and yes it is a M2101K7BNY with 2x IMEI numbers on the back of the phone

Hi, I couldn't guess where is ZA rom. It might be from any operator customizated.
I can't know if flashing any other rom, you can unlock both sim slot. But you can try by yourself simply. I fyou need call recording, use indonesia o taiwan rom, if not, you can choose global.
