Flash Global Developer via Recovery locked Bootloader

Hi everyone
First, I didn't find an answer form my question via search. Sorry if there is already one.
I'm now with an Global Mi 8 with Global ROM MIUI 9 9.6 (9.6.4.0 (OEAMIFD) and locked Bootloader. That's how my MI 8 got out of the box (so, the official Global version).
I want to flash the Gloabl Developer ROM 8.8.30 from the official MIUI Homepage (http://en.miui.com/download-346.html). As there is also a ZIP ROM Version for flashing via Recovery I want to ask wether it's safe to flash this. The verification process said no problems, just that all Data is erased. This is ok.
Is it safe to flash this way or is there a danger for a brick if the Bootloader is not unlocked?

It's safe to switch from global stable to global beta rom thru the updater, it won't brick your device.

Hello,
I was in your case with the same version.
No problem for me, I downloaded the version like you via the link then going through system update of the phone.
My bootloader is not unlocked

I'm currently on China Stable (miui9), bootloader isn't unlocked yet, what would happen if I flash globlal beta rom (miui10) (zip) via updater recovery?

It worked. Thanks

If your device is Chinese, you gonna brick it without unlocked bootloader.
So unlock it, flash then stay unlocked.

Is it possible to downgrade from 10 beta to stable 9 with recovery rom?

For the people who did. Did it erase everything on the phone? I am thinking of trying miui 10 but am too lazy to re-setup everything

Yes, it erases everything, back up all your data first, and save it on your computer

Hello,
I would like to flash Global Beta Rom on Global Stable rom thru adapter, but after touch 3 dots I do not have opportunity to choose the zip.
Do you have any suggestions how to do it?

Hello.
Click 10 times on the miui10 logo and submenu will appear.
Have fun

Thanks, it works :good:

Flash OFFICIAL Xiaomi fastboot rom via Miflash (take care, don't relock the bootloader!!!!) and reinstall TWRP 1102 or 1227 if you take the latest DEV version and not the STABLE.
TWRP 1102 or 1217 for Stable rom
twrp 1227 for latest DEV weekly rom 9.2.15

You are on OFFICIAL XIAOMI rom, that's was needed to refresh your phone.
This rom is full chinese without ANY GOOGLE application.
two options:
you stay with it and install GOOGLE PLAY on it or FLASH a custom modified EU rom with all the western stuff like Google and translations.
You need a modified recovery (TWRP) to flash a custom rom.
Your decision!

Do you know if it exist an ROM europeen (french) on miui10 ? With the Google service or possibility to install the gapps

Read well the first and second post and you'll be on the right track.

That's only what is well done with french language and under MIUI 10 Android 9.0

Thanks, but doesn't exist on fastboot version ? Because I have try to unlock my bootloader and I need to wait 360 hours but i doesn't this time, do you have a link like the first you have send to me but for an fastboot version and europeen, whatever the miui version. Thanks

No way and no possibility to flash custom rom out of TWRP usage.
That's the problem you are facing to wait in order to unlock the bootloader.
You must do it or stay with chinese ROM. This was like that when you bought this 100% chinese phone. And for me the same, so I waited 360 H and unlocked the bootloader for having TWRP available...
You have time to learn on how to do it.

As said before, this is a Chinese phone not sold "normally" out of CHINA.
It comes with CHINESE STABLE rom and no GLOBAL rom version ('for international sale with GOOGLE applications and all languages) is available and never will be!..
Sorry.
Anyway this phone is the best size/weight/features/price/performance/design RATIO in all XIAOMI phone range.
Tha's why I bought it to replace my MI5.

You can flash cn rom directly form update option local update

I thought of doing so. But after reading it I realized that a lot of people got stuck after 25%. And I'm really afraid that it will get stuck for me too. Which version should be installed? Old? New?Should the bootloader be locked?

Question Can stock zips be flashed with mi 11 twrp?

Just wondering if the stock zips can be flashed with twrp?
I tried numerous stock zips and the ROM flashes successfully with no errors, xiaomiflashtool V2 is also successful, however when the phone boots no matter which stock ROM succeeds, Xiaomi.eu is the ROM that boots.
I don't want to use mi-flash, my phone is eea(Vodafone) and I'm trying to flash eea global, when switching with mi flash it activates ARB and bricks the phone. I know it does because I have already done so and got a replacement from Vodafone.
Any help to flash a stock ROM would be appreciated, I'm stuck with xiaomi.eu as it stands.
Cheers.

at moment . there still no recovery rom for Xiaomi Mi 11 . there's people trying to flash stock rom in TWRP but keep failed .

Mine doesn't fail though, it succeeds. Well shows it succeeds but boots to xiaomi.eu each time.

Xiaomiflashtool V2 also succeeds with the stock ROM , but same outcome is present, xiaomi.eu boots each time.

I dont really want any custom roms really, ideally looking to flash stock again but its proving difficult.

hello me i think wait for a stable recovery.

At the moment the "TWRP" that is out is A10 based therefore you can only do normal stuff like wipe, flash magisk etc. It does not support flashing A11 roms yet

the only reason you can't flash xiaomi.eu is because ingbrzy doesn't want you to

Hi you can, but you need the bl unlocked, also with china phones you might need root for gpay, banking fp etc.... with the bootloader unlocked these things may or not work, however on Chinese phones the bl must remain always open on a custom rom, otherwise the phone will brick.

generally thats the case, but for some reason some people its fine and others not, depends on your bank if it detects the bl is unlocked then you cant use it for this without magisk.

Question Need help to set back stock ROM

Hello,
I have bought a Mi 11 yesterday version M2011K2G,
I found out that the bootloader was unlocked on it, but when I check it has a global ROM installed already on it,
the thing is that it's not making any update, so I guess it's not an original ROM ?
I want to put back the original ROM and lock the bootloader back in order to have updates,
can you please help me on how I can do this without breaking the phone ?
or I'm I not getting the updates just because the bootloader is unlocked and if I lock it I will get them back ? I'm just scared if I lock it back the phone will break,
or you think I should install back the ROM and lock it back to get everything better ?
Thanks !

What version of ROM do you have?

here it is attached,
when I check updates it says no update available

Normally an unlocked bootloader has no affort to the update. How did you get notice about that? If your bl is really unlocked I would stay with that.
Are you maybe on latest version? Can you take a screen shot of settings - my device - All secs

I know it's unlocked cause I see the unlocked "padlock" when I restart the phone, other than this I don't have any idea of what modification could have been done to it since I'm used to use my phone the way they come with, thats why I want to get it back to stock ROM or get the updates to make sure it's all good

Here is the latest Rom for eea.
It's interesting that rkbeusf is nowhere to find.
Well unzip the fastboot file put the fastboot files from miui into it and try the installation without locking

if I use the Mi Flash and I don't lock it after flashing it, I won't get the upcoming updates will I ?
I mean, is there any way to lock it back ?
I kind of want to make the phone as it went out from factory

I never used mi flash, sorry.
My first step on new phones are always to unlock the bootloader so I can flash root and restore the apps with titanium.
And I got always updates through Ota.
I switched to xiaomi.eu rom, because it was faster with miui 12.5

thanks man, I will try install this ROM you gave me, I have noticed that when I make "download latest packages" it directly says "impossible to download..."
I wonder why it's doing this

Sorry if I misunderstood you, but you will have to scroll down until you see fastboot then a bit more to 'full rom' and click on the blue button
Edit:
Tested it right now and it works fine for me (download started)
Edit 2:
Seems to work with MI flash tool too:
Found on the mitool side:
Step 1: Download the correct Fastboot ROM on the Windows PC by double-checking the compatibility. Then extract and get the workable extensions on the PC (use the Rom above)
Step 2: installation bla bla
Step 3: too
Step 4: too
Step 5: Then attach the ROM file
Step 6: Switch Xiaomi device into the Fastboot mode. So turn off the device and simply take a long press and hold the keys of Volume Down and Power keys
Step 7: Then connect the device to the PC with a proper USB cable which is in the Fastboot mode
Step 8: Now you can enter the tool interface and check whether the device is connected
Step 9: Then select the most suitable flashing option from all three “Flash all”, “Flash all except storage” and “Flash all except data and storage”
Step 10: Hit flash from the top of the window and wait for several minutes
Step 11: Once the process is done you can reboot and finalize the process successfully.

thanks bro it worked, it now checks the updates and make them when they're available, my wife won't ask the divorce finally haha
one last question and I leave you,
my phone is a 12gb 256 (chinese) if I install that same ROM I installed, will I get autoupdates on it or that version can only update on it's chinese ROM ? any idea ?

For my understanding it will work too. The 12 GB ram is EU is not available but it's only additional ram and does not have an other rom.
... So if you can install and use your phone with that rom you will have no issues with updates

Be careful, don't lock bootloader with a global or EEA ROM on CN hardware, you will brick your phone.
Take care when using Miflash with CN flashed to global. Now you are on production software, best to stay there unless you want to install custom ROMs. OTAs should work now. 12.5.1.0 is the latest for EEA.

Isn´t all Mi 11 CN = China hardware ? I think it is safe to relock bootloader if you are on original ROM. Do you mix hardware and rom with each other.
