As stated on the topic I'm a newbie in the world of installing new roms, etc on android phones and I haven't done it before cause I'm a bit scared by the whole thing (I don't want to end up with a brick), I managed to install a custom recovery system on an old samsung and a new ROM, yet with Xiaomi even if it might be the same looks a bit different, so before proceeding to do anything with my current phone I have a couple of newbie questions:
-Can FastBoot be broken somehow?
-Can I use ROMs of other devices (Besides of the Redmi 4x)?
-Can I somehow break the phone irremediably?
-If so, what should I avoid to prevent it?
-Is a custom recovery necessary, or can I use default Xiaomi's one?
-What's the best recovery?
-If I install recovery via fast boot, do I need to root my device?
-What tools should I look forward to use on linux (Ubuntu)?
Those are my questions for now, if you wanna say anything else that should be taken into consideration, feel free, also if you wanna share some useful guide.
First off a little bit of advice don't ask so many questions no one is likely to answer you because unless the person is really bored and has an hour to spare he will not answer you format your question and ask just a couple of questions that are most vital to what you are doing. Also do some research on your own. Your more out to get some help if someone can see you have put forth a little effort. Cheer's

Ok Here you go..
-Can FastBoot be broken somehow?
don't use fastboot.. instead use custom recovery for anything.. wether you're reverting back to MIUI from custom ROM or anything else. Use Fastboot option to Flash recovery only. then your FastBoot will be safe

Yes, you may if you dont follow the set of instruction for performing in Fastboot/Recovery. But dont worry a few research can UNBRICK your phone.

-If so, what should I avoid to prevent it?
Read Instruction carefully, if going to custom ROM wipe all partition like data, cache, system or you will face bootloop(Phone stuck at bootlogo) also Unlock your bootloader in order to perform all the dirty tasks

-Is a custom recovery necessary, or can I use default Xiaomi's one?
100% necessary for many customizations.. even for rooting now-a-days

-What's the best recovery?
TWRP Recovery & use only which the Redmi 4X Forum provides and follow instructions carefully as stated earlier

-If I install recovery via fast boot, do I need to root my device?
No Recovery does not requires Rooted devices.. or say Rooting needs recovery but recovery doesnt need rooting

I have not got my redmi note 7 yet, but I assumes the steps are: 1. unlock with official tool 2.install TWRP 3.Use the TWRP to flash EU rom
This is my guess. Hope anyone who has successfully install the EU rom in note 7 can answer the steps!
thanks!

How to Root it ?

This is a bit confusing. In most forum i visited xiaomi is strictly implementing waiting period. And 360 hrs is the minimum waiting time.
If there is lesser than that perhaps someone in rn7 forum section might have shared it.

Alexa, play despacito
As stated in the title, I'm helping someone (trying to anyways) with their Chinese variant of the honor play, and am having a lot of trouble finding any information or success stories for getting a global ROM on the Chinese variant. I confirmed that this phone has an unlocked bootloader. I saw one post saying that it's simply not possible because of a different modem in the TL10, please someone help me out. This Chinese ROM is problematic. Otherwise great device!
Thanks
Probably not as while debranding it may end up with locked frp. Had this been other variant, I just posted a debranding method in development section

Well whatever wouldn't be the Chinese version, everytime I reset it it reinstalled all of the bloatware, and it won't even let me change the launchers. So I guess whichever is the most stable global version. I've found information but I found myself confused by must of it. I know how to use ADB and root and install TWRP.

This seems to be a good phone. I don't have experience with realme phones so excuse the questions:
how is unlock policy for realme?
how are chances for costume rom development, since the color os seems to be EN/CN language only?
Thanks for answers

I will believe a developer community emerge when they release the kernel source for the Realme X2 Pro*since it is the flagship. I have little faith though
Actually, realme has sent some devices to developer in the past. So I guess they are pretty open with custom development and that's a good sign already. I hope there would be a lot of custom ROM for the device since it is a great device but color OS might be not everyone's cup of tea

That's the exact reason I wrote it in parenthesis, I wasn't sure about it.. but I do think that opening the bootloader is a must, correct me if I'm wrong. Have you ever managed to flash (unofficial) ROM via ADB while the bootloader is locked? Is GSI different from any other costume ROM?
Let's say we flashed a gsi, then how can we get back to stock rom?

I want to make a European version out of my Chinese version as well, but the link you are mentioning will simply re-flash the Chinese ROM onto the Chinese phone. It's useful when the phone doesn't boot anymore or if you have other issues with the phone.
AFAIK, Realme has not made the European ROM available for download yet. Once/if they do, then you can use the above tutorial and simply use the European ROM source.

Because you can't flash zip roms (ozip in our example) with Mi Flash.
And Oppo does not have any EDL rom in regular format anymore, .ops or .ofp format.
So you can't do anything unless you have fastboot rom and and a working fastboot with unlocked bootloader.
So don't

once bootloader unlocked can we flash eea rom over an indian device and relock bootloader?
You can but don't lock the bootloader
Will the banking apps like ICICI, Indusind paytm etc work when bootloader is unlocked.? I'm really tempted to unlock it and flash the eu rom
Possibly not while unlocked but not flashed, so just in case, flash the EU ROM as soon as you unlock. One common issue after flashing and installing twrp is that some bank apps see the empty twrp folder and won't install. Just delete the folder, it has nothing in it, from your internal memory before installing your apps.

Okay. Thank you
Of course if you do find you don't like it or have any non resolvable issues, you can flash back stock and lock your bootloader again.

NO, I've literally just installed xiaomi.eu rom 2 days ago, first thing i tested was banking and payment apps with bootloader unlocked, everything is working PERFECT without any issues.
i found a few minor bugs with this rom. but way less than the bugs i found with original global rom. battery have dramatically improved and device is so smooth. Honestly, i didnt expect it to be this good. i'll try it a bit more.
