Chances are Google will come pre-installed, problem is with vendor rom as well just follow the guides (in the guide section, you don't have to root if you flash genuine Chinese ROM don't even need TWRP. If you want EU ROM then TWRP is needed but not root, need to flash dm-verify before first boot if you don't root. If you go Chinese ROM can get Google from mi store.

Hi,
Your device should come with a Vendor ROM pre-installed which already has all the Google apps built in.
Its okay to use the vendor ROM if you dont mind not getting any updates. Just check with Malwarebytes to see if there is any malware. Malwarebytes flagged the default MIUI Notes app as a downloader trojan for me and a few others.
I personally wouldnt advice being on the Vendor ROM but thats just my opinion.
Anyway, as you wait for your phone to arrive, you can try applying for an Unlock code using the guide posted by underlines.
I would recommend switching to the EU ROM as it is a very clean and stable ROM with no bloatware. You can also refer to the guide I've posted if you wish to switch to the EU ROM from a Vendor ROM.
Its simple and as long as you follow the steps, you shouldn't face any issues.

Thanks guy I keep you posted.

You have a Vendor ROM on the device. Follow one of the guides and flash a ROM of your choice!
As long as you follow all the steps carefully, you shouldn't face any issues.

Did you check whether bootloader is locked? There is a possibility that it is already unlocked.
And yes, you can flash official ROM via fastboot mode even if your bootloader is locked but it requires a special flash cable. Another way is to flash via EDL mode which bypasses a locked bootloader but this is a risky process and is usually only recommended as a last resort. Anyway none of the official ROMS have GAPPS built-in so I'd suggest its best you wait till you get the unlock code if your device isnt already unlocled.

Cannot update my K20 Pro - please help

Hi all,
I bought my K20 Pro on Ebay and later found out, that the seller has unlocked the Bootloader and installed a Global Beta Rom on it. In detail it is the Miui 10 Global 9.5.31 Beta, Android version 9 PKQ1.190223.001. Now I do not get any OTA updates and have a security level still of May 1, 2019. If I try to manually download and install the latest update I do only get error messages. Can someone help me to solve this problem pls.

Flash firmware via fastboot and mi flash tool but don't re-lock your bootloader because apparently your phone is china version and after locking bootloader with global rom you'll brick your device. Next time double check from who you're buying a phone.

It depends on your OS. But mostly you need to have adb/fastboot drivers. Check also Device Manager if it's correctly installed.

Makes no difference.
Boot the phone in fastboot mode and connect it to the PC.
Check your PC can see the phone correctly with the
Code:
fastboot devices
command. You should get a response showing an ID number of the connected phone.
If your not sure about the above 2 steps, do a bit of research. You'll very quickly find informally about these things.
If you get a valid response to the above, then the Mi Flash Tool will be able to see the phone now.

You might be able to update from Global Beta to Global Stable using the local update method since your bootloader is unlocked. There's also no chance of accidentally relocking your bootloader and bricking your phone but since you are supposed to be running the China/India ROM with your hardware you might get an error message.
I think flashing via MI Flash is a better idea because the shop that scammed you might have also installed malware or Spyware on your phone in addition to the Global ROM. They also could have installed a modded ROM coded to prevent MI Flash from recognizing your phone.

Not recommended at all. Very likely to have issues afterwards.
It's considered safe to do this going from stable to beta, but it's recommended to fastboot flash if going from beta back to stable.

See answer in the other thread you opened.
To relock Bootloader you should flash tgz firmware by XiaoMiFlash tool and select the default Clean all and lock option - you got the answer above.
But if you are a novice (looks so), better don't risk hard-brick, you will need to find a paid, remote assistance for EDL Download procedure

I think the most important acronym in the firmware. EU. Flashing the RKBEUXM should therefore not be a problem. Even without the bootloader unlock. OR only means that provider-specific functions are built in. If you don't know them or are unimportant, the XM works just as well.

If you had to unlock the bootloader to flash the XM, I wouldn't relock again. That would surely lead to a brick.

Hello! Can you tell me what method you used to do it? I have a Mi 11 lite 5G, the ROM that came from the factory was a Vodafone EU and I changed it for a Global EU ROM, specifically this one: renoir_eea_global_images_V12.0.8.0.RKIEUXM, but in the process with My Flash Tool the bootloader had to be open, now I have this ROM working perfectly, but I want to close the bootloader to use Google Pay etc. So I am very interested in your method to achieve it.

Don't relock your bootloader with EU rom. Your chinese phone will be bricked.

Question Anti Roll Back

Hi, im running miui 13.0.13, battery life isnt as good as previous versions, before i roll back i wanted to check, im in the UK, my phone is redmi note 10 pro, SWEET. Im pretty sure it says rom version is Global. Does this have ARB? is there a way to roll back?, ive read some conflicting posts which threw me, some say the firmware has when global and its only EU versions that dont have ARB. Thanks.

Anti-roll back isn't currently active on any version of Redmi Note 10 Pro, all versions so far have the roll back index value of 3 so it's ok. Meaning you can roll back to previous versions if you're unhappy with the update. Though, to downgrade you would have to unlock he bootloader and downgrade using MiFlash or by directly flashing the Recovery ROM.

imho he meant rollback without bootloader unlock.

Thanks guys. Elinx yer i did mean that exactly, i really dont want to mess around unlocking bootloaders etc, i just assumed as you can flash a stock rom to upgrade without unlocking it, youd be able to flash any stock rom without needing to unlock, strange having to unlock it just to downgrade, there must be a way to flash a downgrade from the phone itself without having to unlock BL.

No, that isn't that strange, because Xiaomi thoughts are that older versions mostly are less secure.
With bootloader unlock you take that responsibility.

I get that, what i really mean is, theres lots of posts and videos online that suggest you dont need to unlock BL to rollback. this is why i ask these questions on here, to be sure and accurate and get the right info. im assuming once ive reflashed and older version, i can the relock the BL anyway.

Imho ARB is about Android versions and it could be that rollback of Miui versions is possible if the Android version stays the same.
Personally with the knowledge about AntiRollBack I never will take a risk without unlocked bootloader.
If something goes wrong you are done.

There are two ways I know how to downgrade but the first one is the one which I haven't tested personally (but people on TG tested and it seems to work for them, do more research about it)
1. The rename trick, you can fool the Updater app to upgrading by downloading two roms (one is the upgrade rom and one is the downgrade rom). Just after selecting the upgrade package on the Updater, switch both file name of the two roms so the upgrade rom gets the downgrade ROM name and vice versa. Munchy from YouTube did a great tutorial on this trick. Try watching it for the complete guide. This method doesn't require bootloader unlocking too (and no data wipe afaik)
2. This downgrade method is a lot more straight forward, we unlock the bootloader, and use MiFlash to downgrade the ROM and select the flash_all_and_lock option to relock the bootloader. This method does use data wipe. I've tested this personally downgrading from 13.0.9.0 to 12.5.6.0 but I didn't relock the bootloader on mine.

I can imaging that fooling is possible, but can't imaginge this is only done by renaming a file, without changing something inside the rom. So before you even try this I would check and doublecheck all info about that method.
edit:
I see that a sort of the same method is done here for upgrading to a beta build
Personally I find this very tricky with locked bootloader, because Xiaomi can change something without notifying and you have a bricked phone.

Thanks again chaps. Yer ive seen the rename thing, 6 different posters have done it with success, in all honesty i dont think id try it, i was only bothered mainly about ARB on RN10Pro. I will unlock and wait however long the time period is then just downgrade, ive tried looking for tutorial vids but all seem posted by an Indian chap so ive no idea what hes saying, ive downloaded Miflash but when i start it up it keeps saying i need to install drivers, which ive already done, ill keep looking tho, there must be a good tut somewhere with all the drivers and tools needed.

Cheers thats what i thought, i was just thrown a bit because it says miui is miui global, and 13.0.13 matches the global roms, i dont see that version for EEA. Yet as you said SKFEUXM says its EU not global, Maybe Xiaomi need to work on that so its clearer.
