I am new to all this stuff - Flashing ROMs etc , I just bought Mi max 2 which is having same processor Snapdragon 625 and redmi note 4 also have same processor..
Can i flash Note 4's ROMs ???
Absolutely not, you gotta wait for kernel sources just like the rest of us. Currently only LOS14.1 and MIUI8 and MIUI9 are available.
I have the new Mi 9T Pro with EEA Rom. I look on most sites but dont find a fastboot image. K20 Pro fastboot rom is not the same and different.

We're still waiting for any official Mi 9T Pro ROM to be made available.
Can you guys clarify what types of ROMs exist for xiaomi devices?
is EEA ROM what you can get from xiaomi.eu?
Is the Global ROM the same as EEA ROM?

Official ROMs are Chinese, Indian, European, Russian and global
EEA ROM is another name for the official European ROM. (EEA is short for European Economic Area).
From what's been reported, there does not appear to be any noticeable difference between the global and EEA ROM. Best guess is that the only differences are GPS optimisations and different advertisement delivery.
You can find official ROMs here for all the above regions https://xiaomifirmware.com/downloads/miflashpro/
Normally people refer to xiaomi.eu ROMs as just EU ROMs, but that's gotten confusing since the launch of the European model, with its own official ROM. xiaomi.eu ROMs are custom ROMs made by an independent team. They take official Chinese ROMs and remove all ads and bloat, add a large number of languages, and throw in some customisations, tweaks and enhancements.
I wanted to buy K20 Pro 8/256 version since they didn't release it here in Europe. But i have some question regarding ROM. I wanted to buy it on aliexpress for example here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33025436528.html there are versions with Chinese rom and Global rom, so what i want to ask:
1. If i understand correctly it's a chinese market version with installed Global (indian) rom, is that right?
2. Does this Indian Global rom receive OTA updates?
3. From what I've read there is chinese ROM for this phone (english+chinese), Indian one and Global/EU one (? see next question)
4. But these are also 2 versions of the phone itself, Chinese and Indian? Or did I hear wrong? I heard its better to buy Indian one, but where can I find it?
5. Is it possible to install Mi 9T Pro Global EU rom on this phone? Is it even out yet?
6. I know that the bootloader will be unlocked, so the only way to relock it is to install Chinese rom, am i right? (I mean i heard that banking apps don't like unlocked phones)
7. I heard about Xiaomi.eu but I'm not really a fan of fan-made roms. I mean most of my past phones were working on stock roms since i didn't really feel the need to change it. But if there might be some problems with Indian ROM, maybe is it worth to check it out?
Thanks in advance

The Indian version is missing NFC hardware. The Chinese model also has a couple more LTE bands unlocked, but none that you'll care about in Europe. So as far as hardware is concerned, the Chinese model is better. It is the Indian ROM that is better, but it does have the NFC chip software disabled, so you'll lose NFC functionality with the Indian ROM on a Chinese phone.
Originally, the Chinese phones sold with a global ROM had fake global ROMs installed. Once the Indian variant was released they started to install the official Indian ROM. Now that the official EEA ROM is available, some sellers may start to install that instead of the Indian ROM. In theory, if they are installing untouched official ROMs, then they should have OTA working.
Yes the Mi 9T Pro ROM is now available.
Yes you will hard brick the phone if you try to lock the bootloader with an official ROM that is not the same region as the phone.
You should be able to overcome issues with banking apps, etc. by flashing Magisk and installing appropriate Magisk modules.
Xiaomi.eu is a little bit more than a fan made ROM. It is a community developed ROM, but it has been going almost as long as MIUI itself. They have worked in collaboration with Xiaomi through the years, helping Xiaomi to globalise some of their apps, with Xiaomi reciprocating by helping occasionally with the Xiaomi.eu ROMs. The ROMs themselves take official Chinese MIUI source code as its base, the team then add many languages to make it global, remove all bloatware and adware and as much unneeded, Chinese centric MIUI apps as possible, then add some of there own customisation and tweaks.

So does that mean that you can flash the global rom to the China-only Mi 11 Pro?

Yes, once your device is unlocked...
Great news. Global or EU version of the ROM is much better than Chinese.
I'm using Chinese ROM and it's fine it's more graphically polished than EEA
They added Global version today
I am wating for a chinese version of Mi 11 Ultra. After i will unlock bootloader, can i install the Global version of Miui over the chinese version of Mi 11 Ultra?

Yes, but you must keep the bootloader unlocked as long as a ROM different from the China ROM is installed

Its only about were you live, the supported network bands and the phone menu language + few extra apps that most dont use but that are easily removable . If you are in Europe you'll be fine in 99% of the countries , if not every single one . Regardless if its 4G or 5G .
If you live in USA , better avoid both versions as network bands support for USA its terrible . Not sure about other locations on earth but im sure that europeans can use the chinese version with no issues .

I am on google fi (tmobile) and this is good enough for me. This is band 41 and tbh I don't see the current implementation/distribution makes much difference between 5g and LTE.

That was simple = Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V.... but thank you just cleaned first post a little.
so what is better for europe eea or global or xiaomu.eu?
So can someone please confirm , if you get this Chinese model is it possible to unlock the bootloader and just install global stock firmware? Has anyone done this yet?
I guess if this was possible there would be no need to install the EU rom like we had to for the Xiaomi mi 10 ultra.?

where are you from? and can u check 5g connection?
Hi,
I am planning to buy the Mi 11 Ultra but I am not sure which version to get.
Since my provider (Telekom Germany) uses a 4G frequency the Chinese version does not support I could only take the global hardware version.
But as far as I have read on this forum an remember from my Mi 9 back in the days there are two different firmware versions. The normal Global and the EEA (European) version.
On my Mi 9, I remember that the Global firmware got updates faster and had a few more features than the EEA one.
Since I use some banking apps which require a passed Safetynet check I would like to avoid unlocking the bootloader to switch to the global firmware.
Has anyone already some information on which version to get and if there are differences when it comes to 5G Dynamic Spectrum Sharing support? Either I could easily order the EEA one directly from Xiaomi Germany once it is available or would have to import the Global version.
Thanks in advance for your help and recommendations.

Simply, there is no EEA version of mi 11 ultra as stock, EEA firmware is not official firmware to be released out of the box and it extracted from Chinese version.
I had your thoughts as well until someone corrected me.

No, I think you are confusing EEA with EU.
EEA is an official ROM, but does appear to just be a later global version.
This is the official firmware list: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/star/
Europe is the EEA version.

Are you sure you do not mix up the xiaomi.eu ROM (which is a rather unofficial firmware based on the official China ROM) with the official EEA firmware, which is also listed on the official firmware list for the Mi 11 Ultra here in the forum?

I'm on Vodafone Germany with a CN Mi11U which is working nice and fine, not sure which 4G bands Telekom uses, though.
If I look at the specs the CN version actually supports more bands than the EU version with the exception of B32 and B66 which is EU only....

The CN Version should in general also work fine for Telekom Germany even though they plan to use B32 to increase the download speed in some areas.
But I am also not really sure how the 5G Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS) compatibility of the CN Version is since it lacks some 5G frequencies (like 900Mhz) used as anchor bands for 5G by the German Telekom. Especially since my coverage at home is 5G with 900Mhz as anchor band I do not want to risk getting the CN version.
Hi, so Antoine got an answer ? Xiaomi finally released the 11 Ultra in Europe with EEA firmware, so witch one to buy of GLOBAL or Europe model ? What's the difference between these two models ?
EEA is likely to be at standard price, whereas Global can be picked up for a lot less (when it's in stock)

Since the hardware is the same on all of them, why not order Chinese model, which will cost less, imiort it and unlock it 9unless it is unlocked already and flash it with either the EEA or Global rom?

I tried global rom and eea rom and eu rom on my device.
1)eea rom: I did not like photo quality and colours of eea rom.Especially in reverse light, white shadows in dark areas. Because good camera is a must this is not an option for me. So decided to choose between global or eu
2) I tried eu rom, i liked double tap to wake,sleep, ram usage indicator,call recording etc but did not like call sound quality(worse than global rom), bluetooth sound quality (worse than global rom), randomly freeze clicking some applications(worse than global rom etc.) , swipe to turn off etc. It is clean but extremely clean, i could not find some basic stuff like clockwatch etc
3)I tried global rom, i liked its smoothness (better than eu),i liked Camera(better than eea, same with eu), i liked bluetotoh sound quality(better than eu), i disliked no recording calls option, double tap to wake on home screen not working
As a result i decided to use global rom because camera quality,bluetooth audio quality, call sound quality,smoothness are crucial things for me.
I turned of all updates because any of the devices bought before with xiaomi brand was messed up by software updates, elder mi phone,robot vacuum cleaner etc
