Buying K20 Pro From China

Hello All,
A friend of mine will be traveling to china the next week, and i can ask him to get me a K20 Pro device.
So i need your advice if i can later install the Global ROM easily without harming the device ?
A friend if mine wants one too, but he uses the phone in Arabic, So does the Global Rom contain Arabic language ?!
Where to buy the phone from Shenzhen - China, and how much it will cost for the 128/8 and 256/8 versions
Thanks all

There's nothing like Global rom as of now. There's either China rom or India rom. Global rom would only be released once K20 is released in Global markets. Your best bet is to either use India or miui.eu rom which both suppport multi-lang. The prices of K20 pro in China have recently received a price cut and your friend can easily get the devices from the Official MI stores. Check mi.com for the latest price, conversion and store info.
To flash EU or India rom or Global(Post Release) rom, you'll have to keep bootloader unlocked forever. Locking it back while being on any other Rom from the Original rom (China) will brick the device.
Not sure if you plan to use any apps that highly depend on a locked bootloader.

Great and easy to understand reply
If i don't care for other languages, do the Chinese version has English ?! or only Chinese ?!
i can wait till there is an official Global ROM not in rush to install a modified ROM, if then will i be able to update the phone OTA ?!
is there any problem with the phone or everything is working just fine ?!
Appreciate if you can post photos for the box to send it to my friend to get the exact same model
Thanks :good:

Chinesse version also has english language, just ask him to look for sealed box that has not been opened before (wrapped in nylon)

This color is amazing, and yes there is a nice price cut which makes it even better
image safe

Here are the pics of box 8gb 128gb

Many Thanks, Much appreciated
No mention for device color on the box ?!

And do you recommend getting it and getting the Chinese version ?!

is there any problems with the 4G or Network Signal in general ?!

Easy to check, search for yours and your friend's carrier frequencies for every band, then compare with this site:
https://www.frequencycheck.com/mode...[device_brand_id_eq]=&q[frequency_bands_id_eq
This is a list that shows you which of the frequencies does K20 Pro support.
If you want to know about carriers and their frequency compatibility, go there:

on the other side of the box there is color name, china ver doesnt support band 20 (800Mhz) 4g frequency. for me its not big deal because my carrier doesnt use it, but in Germany i had trouble sometimes getting 4g in smaller cities.
forgot to mention that indian ver doesnt have nfc

Yep. China version has two other languages apart from Chinese and English. You'll get OTA's aswell. Just that you'll to have to debloat and Install Google Play and Services manually initially. Too much of Junk comes pre-installed which can be uninstalled easily.
If you're getting the device from MI home or mi.com then nothing to worry as you'll get a sealed device. If your friend orders it online (Ali, gearbest etc) then look for sealed devices in the listing or ask the seller in PM. Most of the sellers online, unlock the devices and flash a fake global rom to be able to sell them globally. There's also an MI official store on Ali, which will give you a sealed device. But, if a MI store is closeby, then nothing like getting in person from there.
I have used this device extensively for the last 2 weeks and i don't see any major challenges. Fantastic VFM device with up to date features. Just minor software bugs that'll iron out with time.
China version has NFC as an added advantage which the India unit misses on. Not sure if the Global units will get it. Another advantage of China model is that it gets you beta access. Beta builds (more stable while still being beta) are still available for China only models while Xiaomi few months back phased out global beta builds to focus on stable channel. Android Q beta is only available for China models as of now.

Thanks bro, much appreciated

If i got the Chinese version, and Xiaomi released the device in Europe as Mi 9T Pro
Will i be able to convert the phone to the official EU ROM without any problems or need to unlock the bootloader and lose the OTA updates ?!

You'll need an unlocked bootloader to flash the Global Rom (Official or MIUI.Eu) Till the time you're on an Official rom, irrespective of whether it is Chinese or Global, you'll always get OTA's. Just that you can't lock the bootloader of a Chinese device with Global rom on it. Moreover, unlocking the bootloader doesn't effect the OTA updates.

So i will unlock the bootloader, Flashing the official Global, then use the device as normal without any problems
And the ROM will be intact not a modified one ?

Your use of the device is subjective. Unlocking the bootloader would show the device as uncertified in the playstore. You can't play FHD Videos in Netflix because your L1 certification would be downgraded. Any pay apps that you might wanna use, GPay etc you won't be able to use that.
All.of the above could have been fixed if Xiaomi didn't probhit people from locking Bootloaders of Chinese variants with global roms. This was possible a year back but it's getting harder day by day.
Band 20 is missing on the China Device. Usually the Global variants would have that. Some countries use that band for VoLTE service, check that with your service provider.
Honestly, I can live w/o all the above because my usage doesn't require them. Not sure about yours.

well i don't mind using the Chinese version ROM, i guess it's even better with quick access to updates
but they said that it has a lot of bloatware , is this true ?!

Yes it comes with lot of chinese apps that probably rest of the world defines as bloat. Most of them can be directly uninstalled and the rest can be either disabled or uninstalled through adb. You can clean the OS as much as you wish.

Can i flash the Indian Stock Official ROM to Chinese K20 Pro ?!

Question No updates for Global Ultra version?

Hi all,
Sitting with a Mi 11 Ultra Global that still runs with 12.0.1.0 fw. From what I've seen, based on the fw trackers, it is the least updated; China is Stable at 12.5.6, during time of writing.
That said, what are your experiences when it comes to fw updates on Global variants?
In general, I am satisfied (coming from OP 8 Pro) but there are some issues that I've read are fixed in 12.5, and can wait. The question is just how long? Experiences, please?

I totally agree with you, I came from op6t to this beast, which is awesome. I can find few bugs here and there, and I agree with others that EU is much better, but I do not want to back and restore my device all the time. and I am confident that global FW will come very soon, maybe sooner than expected (I know some people will comment back - maybe very late or later than expected ). I am pretty impressed with the performance in all aspects. so I will stay on OTA's even though I can see the number of people who are satisfied with their FW upgrade.
But you know, feeling impatient is a thing now matter what you convince your self with

I'm still on 12.0.2 no sign of updates yet I'm using global from Vodafone in the UK. I've had the phone for 2 weeks but One thing I have noticed is that my battery life has suddenly improved by about 30 percent the last couple of days. Really a massive improvement with no updates. Maybe it's learning my usage but it's been a very noticeable improvement.

In Germany, we have 12.0.6 on the Mi 11 Ultra from O2 / Telekom/ Vodafone

I am on 12.0.1 as well and waiting impatiently to get the 12.5 upgrade...iGven the Mi 11 just got upgraded, I suppose we should expect it a few weeks from now.
China is expected to get MIUI in June, so hopefully we'll get it too before the end of the summer!

It’s due first week of June.

Did you wipe cache and dalvik cache after the update? Always needed after an update. I've got no issues of this type after this week's update on mine. Always worth a reboot too.

General OPPO Find X3 Pro Stock ROMs

Some stock ROMs have been posted by oppo as part of their rollback guide from android 12 beta.
You can find both the andriod 12 beta OTA updates and full colorOS 11 ROM at https://developers.oppomobile.com/wiki/doc/index#id=91
ROMs are available for these versions:
Find X3 Pro (CPH2173) Taiwan
Find X3 Pro (CPH2173) Australia
Find X3 Pro (CPH2173) Singapore
Find X3 Pro (CPH2173) New Zealand
Find X3 Pro (CPH2173) Switzerland

Does this mean that someone owning a Chinese version can now replace that by a Swiss version?
Bit strange that they are not 'meant' for members of the EU.... Something to do with the more stringent privacy laws there?

What is the difference between these roms? Does it mean we have different hardwares in so called global versions cph2173?
I noticed that my OTA to A17 had 300 MB (phone from Thailand) but for others from France and Spain it was only around 160 MB.
In addition i have dialer/contacts/messaging app from Oppo + AppMarket (ofc Google Play and google services as well) + Theme store...They have google dialer and messaging app, no AppMarket and no Theme Store.

How to install an Ota from Switzerland on a Italian version? It says verification failed
It is anyway a Global version?
For some stupid reason i need to test this because OPPO did not activated 5G in Finland (completely common bands). Madness! In the A.12 firmware 5G was working and then stopped working! I tried the 3 major operators.

It is significant difference. E.g. Aussie model is single SIM physically. If you want to use eSIM you have to be certified by Telstra, Optus, Vodafone etc.

People say that the Chinese version does not accept any Rom because the partition Oppo made for the Chinese Rom is smaller than the other Roms.

Question Chinese version to international version

Hi Axon users,
I buy this amazing phone from china. Everything works great but i would like to install an international version of the rom.
Is anybody know how to do this and can help me ?
Tks,

The Global version hasn't shipped yet. Maybe wait until June 3rd when devices begin shipping and then more people will be able to help you.

ZTE Devices Global (ZTE Device)
Dear
Thank you for your prompt response.
Its not about the Chines or international phone, its about the firmware.
The devices sold for mainland China have Chinese firmware installed on them, and the device sold globally have global firmware.
There is no way you can update one firmware to the other.
Best Regards!
