Hello guys!
I really need your help. I am a noob in flashing...etc, I wanted to flash my Mi11 pro from 12.5 Chinese version to the Global one 12.0 by following all tutorials and videos. Now I am stuck with an endless flashing time. I noticed that it's stuck in flashing boot_vendor.img.I have no idea what to do. Tried to click refresh and flash again in the Miflash tool but nothing happens.
Should I unplug the device?
Finally I closed the Miflash tool and tried again, now I am getting a missmatch error "echo missmatching image and device". Any solution?
Does it boot?
If not you might need EDL , you pay them and they'll remotely flash global rom back on your device so it will boot. There multiple threads explaining how to do this here. Have a read.
You should never install firmware that is older than your current firmware , I'd say that's why there's issues.
I believe you were warned prior to doing this ? Sounds like you did it anyway .
Yes, I admit. But humans are humans.
Yes, I think it's pretty bricked. I will look for an EDL.

You mean the original one? I tried but I keep getting the same error in fastboot mode. And in edl mode I am asked to provide an auth mi account.
I flashed from CN 12.5.3 to CN 12.0.1 fine, so it's not as clear as saying it won't work. I don't think anyone has worked out why so many phones are being bricked but some are quite happy to suggest watching more youtube videos for ad revenue which probably won't help fix your phone.
I went from CN to Global to EEA to EU with no issues.
If you find cheaper method do share.
You were warned not to downgrade, so now pay stupid money for the stupid action.
Hallelujah!!!!!!!
Believe it or not guys! It was just a matter of usb port, I tried to place the cable in usb 2.0 and everything worked smoothly. Now i'm on global 12.0.1. I am saved hhhhhh

Wow, you flashed the Mi 11 Ultra Global Rom to Mi 11 Pro successfully, didn't you? I really like the Mi 11 Pro but a little bit hesitant with the Chinese exclusive launch from the bad past experience of the Mi 8 SE

Yes, I did and it's working beautifully well. Chinese or not, as long as it shares the same firmware with the ultra, there is nothing to be scared of. The phone is a bit big and heavy for a daily use but it is still a beautiful beast.

I think they are full of horsesh*t because i'm running a Global ROM on a Chinese version phone. You just can't lock the bootloader or it will brick.

But you can install global rom, it's just impossible to lock BL again, you have to back to chinese rom to lock it!
With this new announcement, does it mean that we can still flash the xiaomi.eu ROM?
I have a phone on the way from china with the global rom flashed onto it
I'm a bit worried now

I almost regret buying this chinese phone. First, they introduced bootloader locking issue then edl authorization and now this! Xiaomi is becoming worst than I thought.
Will this be implemented for all Xiaomi phones?
unlock your bootloader and you can flash it
I think that Xiaomi is just taking that load out of his conscience.
Reminding people that if they brick is not their fault but yours.
I agree with you, a lot of people flesh before they read any instructions and end up with bricked device.
I bought a Xiaomi mi 8 from GeekBuying some days ago, faulty advertised as global version. When I updated the result was a bricked phone. Now I have asked for a full refund since it was totaly their fault...i don't want to say the word "fraud". If they don't give me a full refund I will have to complain to the European department responsible for customer's rights in Europe and ask charges against GeekBuying warehouses in Europe.

How did the upgrade brick your phone? Is it using Global ROM or China ROM?

You are totally right about it. This re-sellers are selling the Mi8 as Global Version, they unlock the BL without the buyer consent, so yes, they are adultarating the product and selling something that doesn't even exist.
And the problems with BL are there just because re-sellers are doing this kind of thing!

Uhm I'm not sure but I would say that geekbuying flashed the Global rom through EDL, so they didn't need to unlock bootloader. He then updated OTA with locked bootloader and **** happened. @ekc_1971 do you remember if bootloader was locked or unlocked?
Wait a little, I have a xiaomi mi 8 Chinese version with global rom installed, also the bootloader is unlocked l, does that mean that if I upgraded OTA to miui 10 my device will get bricked?
BTW I upgraded 2 times from 9.5 to 9.6 and everything ran smoothly, can someone please clarify?

If your bootloader is unlocked you won't brick. Make sure you never lock the bootloader though.
Thank you for clarifying, why would somebody want to lock the bootloader again?
I should not have any problem then, but I would appreciate if you guys could post comments when you upgrade to a global miui 10 having a Chinese version.
Im a poco user and after all the problems i think ill upgrade to mi9 sometime (and not the k20pro when its out because it will probably have same cut corners as poco).
I dont see the global version available with 8gb ram? only chinese.
anyway im planing to flash custom rom (i use crdroid, havok, evox on poco) and so far PE is advancing well but xiaomi.eu is best for now on mi9.
If i get a chinese version is there any difference when flashing apart from of I need to do fastboot flash then I choose chinese rom?
After I instal twrp and wipe everything is the china phone basically the same as a wiped global one?(both work fully on the bands in my country).
If your wondering what poco problems?? heres my famous thread where Alvin tse from poco answered

great thanks man, if the 6gb version is available in global why get chinese? is 8gb ram worth it?
I have the 6GB version and I should say it's enough for me. I have a lot of apps installed and they run in the background and so far it is still smooth. Unless you're planning to play heavy games and doing video rendering and chrome at the same time I suggest 6GB is enough.

oo well thats a good answer lol
I just got the 8gb 256 and everything seems to be the same.
Also this version has the radio bands I need for my country which are B2 b4 and b5 so in my case any mi 9 would work.
And talking about ROMs well I will need to unlock the boot loader which will take 7 days but as far as I know you can actually flash global ROM no problem but of course you can't relock bootloader while you are on it.
That's what I will do.
Hope my answer helps you

thanks! i asked on aliexpress and so far only one seller responded saying the only way i can get a sealed box is to buy the global version. If i buy an open CN version with bootloader unlocked who knows if it's still bound to an account or not?
also is it even worth it for 8gb instead of 6? CN versions bands work here in israel.
Hey, I really need a new phone and im waiting for the Global but it seems like it wont release anytime soon and if yes, Its ridiculous prices like 1400$ while the chinese u can literally get it for 950$.
I was wondering if I order the Chinese rom and flash a global rom will i get OTA updates?
based on previous experience with zte and huawei i would be inclined to say yes. however, it may be too soon to tell with xiaomi
fwiw i got mine from giztop and it will be here by the weekend 5/7 and i plan on immediately flashing. so i'll def keep you posted on it

Hello bro
Can you please tell the instruction to transfer to Global rom, because all the procedures i found are to transfer to xiaomi.eu rom only.
I will be very gratefull if you tell indetail instruction, bootloader already unlocked.
And tell if i need to update the china rom to the latest version or not, i want to avoid fastboot loop, also attach the rom links if possible )
Thanx

Just download the fastboot version of global ROM, unzip all the way until you get to scripts and folders. Now you can use flash with format command prompt script using your pc.

Should i update to the latest china miui first before doing this ( to 12.5 ) ?
Or i should flash over the out of box version ? I think 12.0.3
What did u do in your case ?
Hi sorry it this has been asked before but I've recently received my mi 11 ultra global version from Vodafone UK. Like the phone but some issues that are making me debate whether to keep it. Touches missing, battery life and sub par camera. Because I'm on the global version I'm on MiUI 12.0.2. I was wondering if anyone knows if I can flash the EU rom onto this to try out 12.5 to see if I want to keep the phone. I highly doubt we'll see a global release for 12.5 before my time to return the device runs out. Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks
You need to apply for the bootloader unlock process ( takes around 7 days ) and then you can flash the fastboot xiaomi.eu ROM on it just fine.
Good luck !
Brilliant thanks for the reply mate
So my bootloader is unlocked. I got Chinese model with global flashed. Can i flash EU rom via fastboot itself?

Of course you can especially by fastboot. You can flash EU custom ROM or EEA The only problem is you will have Chinese Bands no matter what ROM you install.

Flash it by twrp, not fastboot. Just in case. It's much safer by twrp. And of course, you'll need to track down a Vodafone ROM to return it if you do but I doubt it after flashing EU. And don't worry about the bands as someone said, you'll not miss out on anything.

I am assuming you mean stock. That would actually be the EEA rom. The Xiaomi.eu rom, which is the China rom. minus Chinese bloat and Google services added in must be flashed using TWRP.

He could flash the earlier one by fastboot
Why would flash a rom from over a month ago? The last fastboot rom was issued 5-13.
Hi!
For the last 3 weeks I was trying to unlock my Redmi note 10 5g to put the global version on it. (Buy Chinese)
Well, I got it yesterday, but it's giving this problem here that it doesn't want to restart. Does this fit like soft brick? If yes, how can I solve this problem?
OBS: I've already passed the 12.5.5 recovery file and it didn't help.
Thanks
The problema Is nota clear, buy of your phone dont boot reflash correct firmware via fastboot. I suggest stato on china version. Is Better than global. Miui 13 stabile Is available with more function than global. Do you want change your phone with mi è global?
In the video i didnt saw any error message
I installed global version 12.5.3 and it worked LOL
Global version 12.5.5 is giving a lot of trouble.
I will install the Chinese version myself
