after alot of mixed info floating around I decided to take the risk, heres how I did it. Mi 11 Ultra 12/512 china varient
updated device to latest version via updater
unlocked bootloader via miFlash
Downloaded stable 12.5 rom https://sourceforge.net/projects/xi...files/xiaomi.eu/MIUI-STABLE-RELEASES/MIUIv12/
rebooted into fastboot and ran the windows bat file in the command promt
wait about 5-10mins for 1st boot
And magic!
been testing features and as i can see the rom is overall more smooth and polished, Im in th US on Tmobile and still getting 5g, banking apps work, google pay works, no more issues with needing to go into every app to enable notifications, any other questions let me know! now only waiting for root method and TWRP

Xiaomi.EU OTA requires functional TWRP - so presently: no ... you need to install updates via fastboot as well

https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/magisk-twrp-device-encryption-t3733601/page1
Stock rom is fine for me for now and whilst I'd love to try out the EU rom, I will be happy enough to have my phone as it is now (firmware wise) but with root and all the joys that brings (app theming, ad blocking, viper4android etc).
Tuesday night I'll get to start playing around and attempting all of this. I'll definitely post a guide of whatever I'm successful with

How has everyone progressed with unlocking their phone. My time has come for me to do it, but busy with work the next couple days so have to wait til then. I plan to unlock, then hopefully root so I can do a full back up, then flash a global rom on my chinese version phone. One thing I don't understand yet is do I need to install another recovery (twrp) or will the global version flash ok on the stock recovery? Thanks

My tips: clear the data of Google pay/Google play services/nfc services, use magisk hide for Google play services, Google pay, reboot. Also ensure Secure Element Position is set to HCE Wallet.
Hope that works for you!
If your phone has locked bootloader, you can get OTA update of ColorOS with December security patch.
Download size is 146MB.
For non-mainland China residents VPN service is needed for initial update detection. When the update is detected, no VPN needed for downloading.
As VPN service you can use Android app Panda VPN free, in which after installation select any Mainland China VPN server and choose free option (you will have to watch one video Ad and then you have 1 hour time usage).
Edit: Link to the full package in ozip file (2.33 gb)
https://download.c.realme.com/osupdate/RMX1991_11_OTA_0140_all_RfH5a5t2Kegi.ozip
well im using panda vpn and its connected but the phone do not detect any updates!!!
JUst downloading A 14 after using VPN by Panda.
Hope it works without any issue.
P.D. downloading 252 -Mb, not 146 Mb (maybe cause jumping from 12 to 14 instead 0f 13 to 14)
Despite using panda vpn...due to high ping the phone cannot detect the new software update... could you kindly provide us with the A14 update firmware link

The thing is not in the system/boot or other partitions that are updated, but in the change that happens during unlocking bootloader. So you need to lock and then unlock bootloader when your system is A.13 or newer.
Please be extremely accurate and cautious preparing the phone for the locking process: you have to have 100% stock contents of all partitions. Otherwise you will get a brick. See *Back to Stock howto*

Hi! I buyed a CN version of Mi 11. Is there any link with the official Global rom for Mi 11 that was rleased today ? Any tutorial?
Thanks!
As far as I know, the Mi 11 Global version won't be available before February 25th (at least here in Europe), so I doubt the global ROM is available yet. Most people recommend the xiaomi.eu ROM over the global ROM because it has some extra features and so on.
I recommend you use Xiaomi.eu's ROM, there's a thread explaining how to do it here. Also, don't forget to unlock your bootloader - you need to wait 7 days before it can be unlocked, so if you start the process today, you'll be able to flash custom ROMs in a week.

Installation ok for me. Like u i was on xiaomi.eu lastest. there is a smalll error : This error is caused because the tool verifies if the device’s bootloader has been locked or not. Since you used the ‘clean all’ or ‘save user data’ option, the bootloader is not locked and the error is shown. This is a problem with the tool itself and is nothing to be worried about since the verification takes place after the flash is fully complete.

You don't mind if I abuse you since you the first known to successfully flash the global rom?
Therefore, my bunch of questions are:
1. Did you use the fastboot version of rom (unzipped tgz)?
2. You did dirty flash form eu rom or did you clear data before flash?
3. You don't have any modem issue, all mobile bands and both wifi (2.4 and 5)?
4. Like first impression: do you still experience massive battery consumption?
5. What are major differences between eu and global?
6. Is the rom smooth and responsive or you experience any malfunctions so far?
7. Google Pay works? If you don't use it, could you be so kind and install safety net tester and report the results?
8. Could you still use phone calls recorder?
Thank you for your patient and contribution.
Yes of course
1. fastboot version
2.Form xiaomi.eu rebooting in faastboot mod and flashing fastboot version with mi flash with clean all option.
3. No mobile or wifi issues

my phone works without problem (no slowdown, no problem with the wifi connection on the phone, all Google services work perfectly)

No question is stupid if helps you out. You'll need to have the bootloader unlocked unless it says RKBMIXM in your about phone section. EEA is RKBEUXM. If you're in Europe, I would stay with the EEA ROM because it seems to work better in general. Global might offer some better cellular signal in other places but it's iffy. I haven't really seen a difference in signal after switching from EEA to Global (I'm in the U.S). If you want to install it after unlocking the bootloader, then you should wait until c.mi.com uploads it on their site since it will be in a better format for it.

Yes. You will get OTA updates. Banking apps work on mine just fine which is on global, unlocked, and has magisk. According to this, all 5G bands in the UK are supported. Widevine L1 is working on mine still after clean flashing Global.
This ROM isn't meant to flash from a different variant since it's an OTA. If you want flash the global ROM, follow these steps:
Unlock bootloader with Xiaomi MiUnlock tool (you'll have to wait 168hours)
Download the ROM you want from here
Then follow this guide (skip step 2 in this guide since you've already downloaded the ROM you wanted)

No question is stupid if helps you out. You'll need to have the bootloader unlocked unless it says RKBMIXM in your about phone section. EEA is RKBEUXM. If you're in Europe, I would stay with the EEA ROM because it seems to work better in general. Global might offer some better cellular signal in other places but it's iffy. I haven't really seen a difference in signal after switching from EEA to Global (I'm in the U.S). If you want to install it after unlocking the bootloader, then you should wait until c.mi.com uploads it on their site since it will be in a better format for it.

Magisk is a systemless root method. Usually root will trip bank apps but you can hide Magisk and keep SafetyNet intact (this is what tell banking apps, etc if the device is modified or not). It's not necessary to have. I just figured you were planning on it since you asked about banking apps.

Would I need Magisk if flashing stock rom to have access to banking apps ? it leaves root open ? I would just prefer to the phone to act like stock and get OTA updates
Thanks

No. You don't need it at all. Just an unlocked bootloader and the rom you're flashing is all.

unused ram is wasted ram
it's not like on windows or something
it's basically good if there is not too much free ram

I ordered mine from GizTop, didn't have to pay any customs but it took forever to get here even when I paid for expedited. So it ended up arriving a couple days before the Pro/Ultra/11i were announced. Also came with an EU charger since that's the factory one, so I had to order a GaN charger for it. It wasn't the best experience but now I have two black/green ported 65w GaN blocks for it and a pretty neat magnetic cable. I spend around $38 for the first one, though. The second one I snagged for a cool $15

I've honestly never really thought about ram consumption except for when it's causing slowdowns. I'll start keeping this in mind

Yeah, kind of killed my excitement by the time it got here. Planning to get the Ultra soon too because I'm a sucker for that camera bump on the back. Hopefully it won't take so long to get here but there really isn't many good options to get it here quick at a fair price

I dont use camera much so not the main thing for me also like how Xiaomi give you that option and still not taking away the rest of the spec , for example look at the s21 they also take away the screen size
So preparing with the files and looking at the guide
Decompress the MIUI ROM flashing tool downloaded in Step 1, and double click on it to install
The MiFlash2020-3-14-0 doesnt install can only decompress the files can you just select XiaoMiFlash.exe in folder to open it
The Rom file from the link you provided
miui_VENUSEEAGlobal_V12.0.13.0.RKBEUXM_27c451d5b7_11.0.zip
On the guide it says
(Please check if the ROM file suffix is '.tgz'. If it is '.gz', please rename it to '.tgz')
When I decompress the zip and try selecting it in MiFlash it says Couldnt Find flash script
Can I just download venus_eea_global_images_V12.0.13.0.RKBEUXM_20210402.0000.00_11.0_eea_4c0dda6f7f.tgz
Its in the guide
Also I make sure clean all and lock isnt selected
I just want stock EU ROM I just flash once and future updates done by OTA
Thanks

Yeah, that seems to be my bad. Download the one from the flashing guide in tgz for it. I didn't think about the ones in the Rom Downloads sections being in a different format.
By the way, you might have noticed this ROM is MIUI 12 and not the 12.5. So you will have an update soon after flashing but probably not instantly. When I flashed Global, it took a little for Updater to catch up. So don't worry if it doesn't show any updates when you first try.

I'll update this section after I look on my computer for the miflash version I used. I first had a portable that didn't work (driver reading issues) so if I remember correctly, I downloaded an older one in msi format and updated. I
Itsin the guide
So it appears I downloaded two after the first portable. MiFlash 20181115 which seems to also be portable with more option and MiFlash v7.4.25 which installed on Windows. I would trying the newer first to see if it works correctly for you, then the second as a fallback. You can just click on XiaoMiFlash.exe in first one's folder.

**update** You can't have lock on if you're on a China variant and using a ROM other than the China Official! It will result in brick since it doesn't support any other rom being locked on it!

Yes you can keep it on "Clean all and lock." It will lock the bootloader back after flashing. It also gives you an error at the end if you just have "clean all" selected (something like lock script not initialized or something) which isn't something to be concerned about. It's also possible to wait and lock it with "fastboot oem lock" command, instead.

No problem I don't mind not having latest update right away I can just wait for OTA just like I would if bought EU version
I was watching YouTube step by step on flashing and he mentioned not to select Clean all and lock it will brick the phone ?
Does it matter if I leave it open it won't effect banking apps ?
Thanks
Edit:
SOLVED!!!!
finally figured out the issue, will share just for information as unlikely to happen with anyone else.
When i installed xiaomi.eu, i cannot remember which partition it was installed at, was it slot A or B. and when i flashed back to official rom, i left it by default.
This has messed up my partitions when i was back to official rom. so whenever i update my system, it would just fail all the time because it is over writing the booted partition.
dont know how, and dont ask me how i fixed it, all i can explain is the following:
checked on fastboot the slot and it was A. so i tried to change it to B and it didnt work with all available commands. So, i used TWRP to boot into fastboot slot B and installed fresh ROM 12.5.4. bootloader unlocked just to be safe. then updated and it went through without any issues.
i cannot explain what exactly happened and if what i did was correct and if my theory is correct, but it worked!!!!.
Thanks to everyone contact me and gave me any idea.
Hi All,
"Couldn't update Miui"
"download rom and try updating again"
i have an issue with my device, it all started after i install eu rom and then flashed back original rom and locked bootloader.
i was on 12.5.2 when i unlocked bootloader the first time, and install eu. version. tried it for a week, and it was really bad. so i switched back to original rom 12.5.4 when it was released and locked bootloader, after that, since then, i was not able to update my device to the following roms. i tried the first time 12.5.6 and it didnt go through when device rebooted. as deviced auto restarted for a few times, (it boot to miui logo for 3 sec's then blink green then restart, happens for a few times like 6-10 times) then device reboots back to version before update but really really really slow.
in the begining, i thought it was faulty update, but i found that several people did it successfully,
Then i thought they have their bootloader unlock and 12.5.6 was a beta version, so that was the reason, until stable 12.5.7 showed up. so i've unlocked bootloader and updated, same issue.
Then i thought, maybe 12.5.4 version downloaded is corrupt somehow, so i've installed 12.5.2 and updated, failed again. same result.
all all cases above, i tried locked and unlocked bootloader and i still get green blinking a few times then a very slow version before update.
Anyone familiar with this case? i really need your help.

the problem is, i did that a few times now. doesnt work.
seems like there is something blocking in the update after reboot.
the error i am getting after every failure is the following:
"Couldn't update Miui"
"download rom and try updating again"
could it be a reason of installing xiaomi.eu using twrp that the partition has changed and caused this problem? just a thought.
Are you trying to install it via the OTA? Because the problem can be the unlocked bootloader
