We're still waiting for any official Mi 9T Pro ROM to be made available.
Can you guys clarify what types of ROMs exist for xiaomi devices?
is EEA ROM what you can get from xiaomi.eu?
Is the Global ROM the same as EEA ROM?

Official ROMs are Chinese, Indian, European, Russian and global
EEA ROM is another name for the official European ROM. (EEA is short for European Economic Area).
From what's been reported, there does not appear to be any noticeable difference between the global and EEA ROM. Best guess is that the only differences are GPS optimisations and different advertisement delivery.
You can find official ROMs here for all the above regions https://xiaomifirmware.com/downloads/miflashpro/
Normally people refer to xiaomi.eu ROMs as just EU ROMs, but that's gotten confusing since the launch of the European model, with its own official ROM. xiaomi.eu ROMs are custom ROMs made by an independent team. They take official Chinese ROMs and remove all ads and bloat, add a large number of languages, and throw in some customisations, tweaks and enhancements.
I am slightly confused by all the different versions of the Mi 9t pro. As of now, MIUI Global 10.3.2. is installed on my phone. Apparently, there are different global versions (global and EEA global).
Two questions:
1. Is it necessary to differentiate between the global and EEA global firmware or can both versions be used/flashed interchangeably? For example, in the LOS 17 thread, only one global firmware has been uploaded/linked.
2. Has Android 10 been released for the Global version? From what I have read so far, it seems that Android 10 has not been released for the global version.

What causes confusion is people referring to any non Chinese version as a global version. Before the European and global versions of the phone arrived most people referred to the Indian ROM as global.
They are all global ROMs, in the wider sense that they all have multiple language options, which is the main reason they all get called global.
However, it is best to think of them in terms of the phone they are made for, in order to avoid confusion. So only referring to the EEA ROM as either a EEA, EU or European version, don't term it as a global version as that should only refer to the version of MIUI for the global phone.
Any MIUI version for the K20/9T Pro can be flashed on any phone. However the bootloader can only be locked with the correct version of MIUI for the phone. Trying to lock it with a different region ROM will brick the phone.
Although LOS17 recommends keeping the correct firmware and vendor for your phone, it isn't strictly necessary. Many users with EEA and global phones have flashed the Chinese firmware and vendor files without any additional issues in LOS. If you wanted to install LOS on a global phone you 'should' be OK flashing EEA MIUI 11 firmware and vendor files before flashing LOS.
AFAIK the global version of MIUI 11 has not yet been released. I can't imagine it being too far behind the EEA version as the 2 are almost identical.
Hello!
I recently bought a Redmi 8, it came with a Global ROM that I updated to MIUI 11.0.7.0 which shows up as the latest version. I'm in EU, and the code name shows up as OLIVE_EEA in the Hidden Settings app.
What are the differences between the OLIVE and OLIVE_EEA variants?
Is this device compatible with regular olive roms, recoveries and other tools?
Global and Eu roms are almost similar. They both are shipped with google apps. They are more privacy friendly. No bloatware. Eu roms are less updated whereas global are updated more frequently. You will notice the current eu rom is still on an older version than global if u install.
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
Can I flash official rom from one to the other one?
NO as far as i can see their is no difference but no you cannot flash china rom on global phone or global on china it wont boot
I tested the global and EEA global rom in china device and can be used normally
There is, chinese version (cammelia) has dual rear cameras while global version (camellian) has triple rear cameras.

This is nice to hear that. I flashed my M2103K19C with Indian ROM version (POCO M3 Pro) as it is also Camellia, but it did not boot. Then restored back to Chinese one. If you assure this works I will try as well.
i think that with bootloader unlocked it's possible. maybe the camera will not be fully function (in my case it's not a good idea flash china over eea). boot i'm quite sure phone could boot. many european users have buyd online china device, and converted to eea flashing official firmwares
