Hi,
I have Redmi Note 10 Pro with official MIUI 12.0.14.0 Stable. Im in south america. I havent got the 12.5 update. Can i download the europe update and install it using the "choose update package" ?
Sorry if this is not the forum to post this question.
Thanks!
Hi mate, Perfect place to ask this question. You could very well do that but I'd recommend using the MIUI EU version, once you've unlocked your bootloader. Has a lot of additional perks and benefits.
I wouldnt need to reset my phone? Can you point me to where to get MIUI EU version 12.5? https://xiaomi.eu/?
If you are from south america you probably have the global version, and no... you can't install a different version than your device, if you want to avoid stupid problems.

Current official version from Xiaomi: https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?device=1900389
NOTE: Check the MIUI version first in settings (RKFMIXM Global)
The Stable Beta is now available, but I recommend you wait for the official Stable... less than a month I think.
Yes, i have RKFMIXM Global. I'll wait then, thanks a lot!

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.

yeah also in same situation, have same model running 10.3.3 stable (PFKMIXM) , i have heard others getting updated to MIUI 11 but my global model does not seem to have got any further OTA updates beyond that, tried changing different regions to try force it but nothing has worked.
all i am wanting is to get to android 10 with either MIUI 11 or some form of it like the .eu version or MIUIMIX as i don't mind MIUI and would be nice to keep stock xiaomi camera and also have install a port of gcam. but all the roms i have seen are for the k20 pro varient or the Mi 9t pro running CN or IN firmware not the global firmware.
am tempted to try pixel experience or evolution X too but people keep telling me to stay clear until it supports upgrading from the global rom.
what did you end up doing?

Hi,
For me ATM there is no way that flash custom ROM. All buggy.
Actually I'm running 10.3.3.0 and I'm thinking about flashing MIUI 11 EU

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

Is there a reason you need to use the default launcher? If it's about gestures, then with root you can use a mod for fixing issues on 3rd party launcher
Hello everyone
I have a simple question out of curiosity. I have a global version of a Mi 11 Ultra that cane with a preinstalled MIUI 12.0.1.0 global ROM (RKAMIXM). After unlocking the bootloader I firstly installed xiaomi eu of which I was very disappointed and then moved to the official EEA firmware on MIUI 12.5.3.0 (RKAEUXM) which is my current Daily driver. I would like to know since my device came with a different global rom if the use of the EEA firmware may create a compatibility issue in terms of internet bands and connection speed and in that case if you recommend to move back to original global (which now is available in version 12.5.2.0)

The EEA and Global rom is virtually the same. The reason you can't flash the EEA and then flash the Global is because of anti-rollback code in the flash-all.bat file of the roms. Remove that (usually lines 4-11 in Notepad++) and all roms, regardless of version are flashable. So you can actually try and see which one you like best.
Are you sure I have to do this? Because I flashed EEA 12.5.3.0 over Xiaomi EU 12.5.7.0 without doing that. Did anybody tried both EEA 12.5.3.0 and the new global 12.5.2.0 and tell me the difference?

There's literally no difference Between the EEA and Global rom. The MiFlash tool usually gives someone an error code because of the anti-roll back section in the <flash-all.bat> file when a downgrade is attempted. If it was successful for you, Congratulations! However, it wasn't successful for me and the rom wouldn't successfully complete the install until I edited the script.

Why then the two versions? Which version do you use? I am curious to try the global and see if there is any improvement over the EEA I am using now (especially for 5g speed), even though the one I am using now is blazing fast, but on the global changelog it says performance is 20 times faster (now this might be true already for the EEA version I'm using now)

The reason there are two versions is that they use different radio bands in Europe vs in other areas for example, so the radio bands may be slightly different. Adverts for that region may also be different. I am on T-Mobile here in the US and am running the Xiaomi.eu rom, which is based on the CN rom with Google services baked in and all Chinese bloat removed. This rom (weekly) has many more features that the EEA and Global rom doesn't. Such as the ability too use the rear display for video, which you the EEA and Global doesn't have as yet.
Well I am more interested in the efficiency of the 5g here in uk and what woukd be the best rom. I feel like my stock global was slightly better than this EEA I have now. I might format and flash it to check it out. It's just annoying every time you have to flash you loose all of your data and progress. Still on my current rom I am doing some debloating testing for idle battery improvements
Like I said, it's basically the same with some minor changes specific to the region.
I think I have to try it out myself if I want to be sure

EEA 12.5.6, I expect to come next week or the following to global
I have been waiting for the miui 12.5 update for my xiaomi mi 9 lite (EU) since July 2021 anyway. only the gobal and russian version have already come out and i'm still waiting now and since miui13 on android 11 has already been announced for mi 9 lite i have a feeling the 12.5 isn't coming. Is there anyone here who can tell me if the update is coming or if I can switch to the global version without losing all my data?
I have a European sim card and it should still work! I've heard stories about xiaomi phones with EU SIM card that all work with English as language
The bootloader is unlocked.
Unfortunately EEA roms are always hit or miss when it comes to updates due to EU regulations. I wouldn't hold my breath for any updates past the last one we got way back in early 2021 (MIUI 12).
I highly doubt this device will receive MIUI 13 as it has already reached EOL (and was never really a popular model, sadly). You should be able to flash the Global version of MIUI 12.5 or a custom rom like Xiaomi.EU though; there are guides on the forum that you can follow.
I can switch tot gobal but works my simcard ? And is it a update? Or is my data gone?

Your SIM should work without any problems, however you will need to wipe your device clean to switch roms.
