Why don't you go to their website https://xiaomi.eu/ or search this forum
Precaution: Do not embark on it without first researching this. There is a genuine risk of bricking your phone in case of missteps.

I have flashed Xiaomi.eu on global so many times on Mi 11 ultra and never had an issue. However, this does not guarantee you may not have issues.
The most prudent approach for you can be; first, know the region of your phone, flash the official ROM for that region WITHOUT LOCKING THE BOOTLOADER (MUST KEEP IT UNLOCKED), then flash the Xiaomi eu ROM.

I have the Chinese version phone. Unlocked the bootloader and tried almost all available ROMs available out there on it including from Chinese to xiaomi eu, global to xiaomi eu, and vice versa.
For Mi 11 ultra, the Chinese region is not a hindrance to installing Xiaomi eu on it.
If you still have doubts, posting in Xiaomi.eu forums may be more useful.

I really have hard time understanding, what you are trying to do.. so you got a phone with global rom, and you want the EU-Version on your phone... so do you mean the EEA-Rom?

same answer as before i did search already but all data available for flash Xaiomi EU rom on original chinese rom not (chinese phone with previous installed global rom)
my quesion is very simple
can i flash directley on global rom or need to flash chinese rom first then flash xaiomi EU?
Ask yourself why you should do that? You inject twrp and format data then flash ROM zip,done.

nice this simple for you as expert but as beginer as me i need some details. why every expert her dealing with the beginners as ignorant there was some days all of you was beginners
You only assume I am an expert, for me an expert is a developer. This is my first Xiaomi phone and all I know I read it on guides. These are easy and logical assumptions.
i remember @xNAPx what you all asking

Buddy, your situation is even easier because you don't have to go through the hassle of unlocking your bootloader,it is already unlocked! With that possibilities are endless.
Download on your PC and install "minimal adb and fastboot"
Download on your phone the EU ROM of your choice (stable or weekly)
Download on your pc the twrp compatible for your phone,rename the twrp image into "twrp.img" and move it into you "minimal adb and fastboot" folder
Boot into fastboot
Connect your phone to PC
Run adb
Check if phone is recognized with the command "fastboot devices"
Now boot into twrp with the command "fastboot boot twrp.img"
Twrp will now boot into your phone, it will be in Chinese, so you must change the language first unless you understand chinese: to do that you press the third button on the right, you tap onto the "worldish" icon and select English.
Now you go to install, browse until you find the rom you downloaded, you flash.
Once completed wipe dalvik and cache, and DO NOT RESTART. Go back instead to the main page, select now WIPE then FORMAT DATA and type YES to confirm, NOW YOU CAN REBOOT when prompted.
You installed successfully the Xiaomi EU ROM.
Be aware that first boot can take quite a lot of time. Be also aware that FORMATTING DATA WILL DELETE EVERYTHING ON YOUR DEVICE, so backup first what you want to keep

Hello everyone! I am sorry if this is somewhere already been told but I could not find it..
I am buying Xiaomi Mi5, sealed box, with some Chinese ROM so I would need to flash some global ROM. As I am told the bootloader is open. What are my next steps?
1. Install TWRP?
2. Then install ROM?
Are there any instructions on how to do that? I have done that on my previous LG but that was long ago so I dont remember any more.
If you could help I would very much appreciate it!

sealed box = bootloader closed
1- Update to latest chinese dev rom, download from miui site and install through updater
2- open bootloader through MIUI tool, search online for it
3- install TWRP through cmd
4- I think you can now install non-miui roms, but personally I just wiped data and installed supersu and used the miui rom
I believe that it comes with open bootloader.
Installation through cmd is the same for any device? Is there any tutorial about it?
I just bought Mi 5 with China ROM (my first Xiaomi device). I was planning to install Global ROM but decided to give the China ROM a go. installed the MIUI v8 update, removed some unwanted Chinese apps, and installed Google stuff. Actually works very well and loving it so far. No issues at all. I recommend you give it a go if you want.
Otherwise I suggest you read these two threads on the official MIUI forums. Should give you the basics and all you need to install the Global ROM.
http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=106428

Thanks man! I will give it a go!

i dont understand why you ask for answer, receive, but not the one you hoped and still saying its open..?
Since 1 year Miui only ships locked bootloaders, so when sealed its 100% locked.
Just try unlock through app/website: http://en.miui.com/unlock/
for tutorials, there are plenty on miui forum site, or here on xda
Good luck

first you need update to last miui version (stable or dev not problem at all) then unlock (bootloader) your device, after that download global fastboot rom, and flash using XiaoMiFlash.
but, before you flash to global. i want tell you 1 thing. this is my opinion,
Global rom is suck! rom base Chinese is great much more better on audio, camera and etc, except the rom only have 2 language chines and english, and you need manualy install gapps.
on my preference MIUI official rom is, China dev -> China Stable -> Global Dev -> Global Stable.
i don't know if this is related, but since we don't have sd card slot we have to leave the internal storage unwiped. And I like to wipe the entire phone when i flash a new rom. So my question is how do you wipe the internal storage and still have the files required to flash rom?

internal storage is not a single partition, the bootloader and recovery are in separate partitions and don't get wiped. What is deleted when you choose to wipe internal storage is only system, data, cache and (emulated) sdcard.

I recieved yesterday mi new MI5 64 Gb, with rom version MIUI 8.1.3.0
I´m trying to instal TWRP on my device but always recive the same error:

The first SMS with the code should be quick (you already have it, i understand).
The second is in most cases within a few hours, but officially can be up to 10 days.
After you received the SMS with permissions, you can try to unlock, but if that does not work, wait 24 hours (i had to wait a day before the permissions were 'connected' to my Mi account).
Just got the phone. Came with Vendor ROM. Attempted the TWRP in main Guide section but it froze. Was advised by someone to flash the "Smarty" version of TWRP. That one had working touch so I thought it was good to go. I backed up the vendor ROM and went ahead and flashed EU Rom along with Super SU zip. It didn't go through properly and I was forced to long press power to restart.
I attached pictures of the failed TWRP dialogue and what happened after I tried to restart the phone. I really need some sound advice. I'm like super stressed over this big ass overpriced phone

Replied to your post in the other thread. Follow the steps in the guides EXACTLY as mentioned and you wont face any issues.
Since you're able to boot into fastboot mode, start from scratch and follow the steps. Hope this helps.

Agreed. If you can fastboot then all the files you need are available... You'll be fine, I know that stress, just take it slow and don't be in a hurry.
I come up in the same situation like your first picture every time I try to flash a new rom on my Mix. I had nandroid backed up everything though.
When TWRP stops after extraction I press power button and volume up to reboot at recovery. Then I restore my backup and MIX is working again.
I think don't do anything after flashing ROM till it says DONE should be added to guide. You moved to the next stage before ROM had finished installing. Would of thought that you should be able to boot to TWRP and just reflash, if not just follow guide to install TWRP.
Thank you guys for offering help. A kind user (forget his username but he has the thread Vendor to EU ROM) helped walk me through the process. Basically I had to use Xiaomi Flash to flash the Chinese firmware and then I was able to use TWRP and flash the EU rom.
Now my issue on the EU rom is that I can't get the Play Store to see that I'm in the US. Certain apps cannot be downloaded like Amex and Amazon shopping. If anyone have any ideas please share them.
I came here to instruct the same solution.
Only way to get EU flashed was to go back to Global Stable. After this TWRP could flash any ROM.
Glad you found it too.

Hi,
I had a bricked phone and I have managed to fix it.
At the moment I have China rom installed which I don't really want to use. It has no Google services and a lot of Chinese apps.
So I just want to double check.
1. I unlock bootloader with the Mi unlock app.
2. Then simply flash global rom with Mi Flash and definitely make sure to only select cleanall.bat and not cleanall_lock.bat.
Is that all I have to do? Some posts recommend different things and some just say do this so I want to make sure.
Thanks,
No.. you cannot simply flash Global if your phone chinese version.
Read... so much thread about it and people have brick because of it.

There's like one guy on YouTube that basically says to do this.
Then there's some on a forum that days to do a lot of things.
There's just so much random stuff from many threads that it is hard it know what should be done... That's why I ask here for definite answer.
Dude I have a Chinese version Mi8 and after unlocking the bootloader I used the eu.miui pie rom and then jumped straight to the custom roms. Also i did format my data by typing yes in twrp after flashing the eu,miui and lost all the stuff on the internal storage, which really did not matter as I had just unlocked the bootloader and everything had been wiped clean anyways.
Been using two Xiaomi phones and have never flashed any MIUI roms only eu.miui and never had any problems
Doesn't matter. Gotta wait 15 days before I can unlock it and flash. Strange as my account was approved some years back to do the same with a Redmi but oh well. I guess I will wait 15 days...

Share with us your final results, succeed or fail? In case of succeed tell us how you did it. thks.
i've just flashed a chinese mi 8. Just unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP and flash the rom.
i used xiaomi.eu rom for the last one. Now i've a Mi8 explorer edition in my hands and need to wait for the 15 days are gone than i'll flash xiaomi.eu rom here too.
BUT never re-lock the bootloader again after you've flashed a other rom than the orignal rom, your device will brick.

Hi guys,
first off congratulations for the forum, is awesome and quite interesting
As written in the title, i need a new rom for my p8 lite ale l-21
Currently, i'm on the emui 4.1.3 but my phone drains battery really too fast and i only can do 3 hours of display and nothing much.
I've changed the battery and the results are the same and so i've decided to flash a new rom
I've already unlocked the bootloader with dc unlocker and i will install this recovery https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/orig-development/twrp-t3583180 but i really don't know what rom is suitable for me.
I'm searching a rom with descrete battery life and discrete performances and I saw that there are many on the forum but I can't understand which one is the best so I would need opinions
What would you recommend?

Do you already have magisk installed? If yes, then just install from there magisk manager gsm doze. If you did that, and it's appearing in "modules" than you have it enjoy your "new" phone.

Hello, I'd like to return to stock and use the anxcamera. But I'm triggering the arb protection. Has anyone successfully bypassed this?

you can easily go back to stock and relock bootloader. Just download Fastboot rom of your choice and install using pc. No ARB issues as fastboot ROMs check for the thing and won't flash if the phone/rom arb figure mismatch. it's completely safe. I have done it a couple of times
