Hi I have purchased the mi9t pro EU version of the phone and would like to unlock the bootloader and possibly try a rom. Are the instructions exactly the same as the k20 pro for carrying out the procedures or do I need to wait for a separate Mi9t pro thread.

Hello,
I want to buy the K20 pro from aliexpress but can not decide which version to buy, the Chinese or the Global.
Does it make a difference which version I pick, if I wipe the device anyway?
Or do I need the Global version for LTE to fully functioning in Germany?
Thanks in advance

This is a k20 pro chinese which means no band 20 for lte
You check google and some sites to know the bands you need
But you will either choose global rom ( with unlocked bootloader by the seller ) or chinese rom with locked bootloader
The one that has band 20 is the mi 9t pro
The mi 9t pro doesnot have a 256GB version till now as far as I know so for sure this is a k20 pro missing the band 20
For me in my country, we donot have band 20 used and if I travelled to an area where it is a must I will use 3g instead but if I am living in a band 20 area then it is a must

One german user bought the Global version from aliexpress and posted a screenshot of the system information in the comments on aliexpress. It shows Mi 9t pro.
Did someone on here bought the phone from aliexpress and can confirm that band 20 and lte are working?
Buy Global version. B20 may definitely come in handy especially in Europe. You can buy it here: https://www.eglobalcentral.de/xiaom...ne-sim-lock-redmi-k20-pro-carbon-schwarz.html or here: https://www.wondamobile.com/xiaomi-mi-9-pro-hk-global-version-256-gb-unlocked.html
I bought it in the first shop
Versions from AliExpress are just normal K20 Pro without B20 support, even if they have flashed global rom
Definitly buy global version ( with b20 support) for germany , because you will see diference in rural areas where german operators use b20 band for 4g, lte coverage. I have k20 pro chinese ver and sometimes i dont have 4g,lte in those places.

Are you sure about this? I thought eglobal and wondamobile just import the same unlocked global version like on aliexpress (Redmi K20 pro) from Hongkong.

Yes I'm sure. Xiaomi released Global 8/256 version but only in HongKong. It supports B20 100%
They even say they released 8/256 M Mi 9T Pro on their page: https://www.mi.com/global/mi-9-t-pro/specs
Also here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80449693&postcount=116

I totally get your point, that's why I created this thread in the first place.
But how do you know, that the global version from aliexpress does not have the b20 band, but the global version from eglobal or wandamobile have the b20 band?

Honestly i'm not 100% sure but i've checked opinions about some of the more popular offers and they all said that it's just K20 Pro with flashed global ROM - not true Mi 9T Pro Global version and also I can't really find such offer that would explicitly say it's a global version with such specs. Either Mi 9T Pro 6/128 or K20 Pro 8/256 with flashed Global ROM (but still without B20)

If the system information screen says 'Mi 9t pro', then the phone would 100% have the B20 band, correct?

well as far as i know, not really. After all it could be normal K20 Pro with flashed Global ROM. If you flash that rom it will change name according to the region. You would have to check if the device has locked or unlocked bootloader. If it has locked BL and name Mi 9T Pro then it's very possible it's a model with B20 support because you can't lock a bootloader on K20 Pro with flashed global rom.

Ok, thanks pal. Then I'll go with the 6/128GB version from eglobal. It's the more safe option.
I also think this is good enough hardware for a casual user anyway.

Hi, i couldn't find a thread like this so if there is any sorry. I'm going to get k20 pro in couple of days, so i got some questions.
Can i install mi 9t pro global rom on k20 pro(i see that xiaomi eu rom is for both k20 pro and 9t pro).
And custom roms(like aosp, pixel) are they compatible with both versions of phones or they are made individually.
I hope you understood what i wanted to ask.

The two phones are essentially the same hardware, and SoC, yes you could potentially flash the mi 9t pro's Rom on the redmi k20 pro.
The Mi 9T Pro is meant for European markets and comes with band 20 that is required for those regions, specifically.
To install ROMs like Pixel Experience or AOSP, they're based on Chinese or Indian firmware, so you'll need to install their respective fastboot ROMs to use them, not at all complicated just look around on the forums, and you'll find guides to install the custom ROMs.

So when i unlock bootloader, can i install trough the twrp global rom that was made for 9t pro? Will there be any problem?

No idea what a twrp global Rom is, if you want to install twrp, get the unofficial image from here on the forums 3.3.1-15 or whichever is the latest one

Yes, that would be done using mi flash tool and selecting the option clean all and lock, should work if I'm not wrong, would need someone to clarify but it should work

No I would suggest you to use the mi flash tool and download the fastboot rom to get to the global version of miui 10 for k20 pro. You can get it from mifirm (google it), and use the rom in mi flash tool much easier, but you have to have an unlocked bootloader first

Only if you have a global phone. You will hard brick the phone if you try and lock the bootloader after flashing a ROM that is for a different region to the phone. You can only successfully lock the bootloader when the phone has the stock ROM that is for the same region as the phone.

BIG FAT NO, Your K20 pro bootloader cannot be locked with a Global ROM in it, you'll brick it.

I think the lesson here is,
don't get this phone if you want to re-lock the bootloader after flashing Global ROM.
xiaomi is s-h-i-t at updates.
Just go with OnePlus7/pro/T/T-pro whatever if you value your money, phone and security updates.

The lessons here are.
Don't listen to people who clearly don't know what there talking about.
If you want a locked bootloader and save between $100 - $300 over an new OnePlus phone, then buy the phone for the region your in. European phone in the EU, Indian in India and a global phone for anywhere else.
If you want to save between $200 - $400 over a OnePlus phone and can live with an unlocked bootloader, then buy a Chinese K20 Pro.

So there is no need to pay 50$ more for global version while u can put it on chinese one right. Expect for people that dont know much about roms right?

Again as has been mentioned many times, you want to make sure the phone you get is compatible radio, and bandwise to the region you live in.
For example in Canada, the Chinese or Indian Redmi k20 pro, has some of the bands required to run, but msot importantly misses band 20, and a few others that would make it much more well suited.
So for this reason the only version that will work is the Mi 9T Pro, either the global version or the EEA version meant for European markets.
To check for compatibility region wise go to kimovil (google it) and make sure it works in your region. Otherwise it's not really a phone of any use if it doesn't function as one in whatever niche area of the world you may happen to live in.
Do your research, and avoid expensive regrets, good luck :good:

Thank you so much, i couldn't find a site to check 4g compatibility. It says that 4g is 2/3 available (missing B 20) but b3 and b7 are available so i guess i can use 4g.
Hello Experts!
Apparently my Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G China version is MTK! I bought it thinking it was Qualcomm and that I could easily switch my China Rom to the Global Rom like always. Unfortunately I failed to consider the chipset. I initiated the Rom update and Hard bricked my phone.
On the computer under Devices and drivers THE MTK version quickly flash and disappear with the sound that indicates that the phone is alive within but dead outside.
Please help me find the appropriate flash files to restore my firmware.
It used Dimensity 1100 mediatek, maybe you can ask in the telegram group. Btw can you enter fastboot mode

Redmi Note 9 and Redmi Note 9 are NOT same devices and they does NOT share roms.
The only difference is the 48mp Vs 64mp and the 18w Vs 30w on the note 9s and 9 pro respectively. Also isn't the 9s the Indian variant, while the 9 pro is the global one..?
So apparently the 9s is exclusively Indian, and the 9 pro has an Indian variant (which is the same as the Indian 9s) and an international variant (which is different to the Indian variants), right?

You don't need to flood the thread.
You don't need to repeat YOUR messages.
I hoped for answers and solutions and got the title discussion and aint nothing closer to solving my issue
MiForum has nothing as well ....
Just flash stock MIUI using SP Flash Tool, if you are on REDMI NOTE 9 (MERLIN).
@VD171 Can you read mate, he already said he has the note 9 pro, ive already mentioned the forum for that device, and havent repeated a single message.
(Also the note 9 pro doesnt have an mtk SoC, it uses a snap 720g..)
