Since the hardware on both the chinese and the global version is the same, what difference does the software have and why can't a global rom be flashed on a chinese device with a locked bootloader?
Can a chinese version be converted to a global one or the opposite?
what is the serial number for chinese and international MI8 version?
M1803E1A
or
M1803E1T
or
M1803E1C
?

I have the Chinese M1803E1A (New 8gb/128gb edition) that's Chinese or English language. You can flash the Beta/Developer authentic Chinese ROM without bootloader unlock through the updater in settings with ease...
My model: M1803E1A, with preinstall global rom 9.5.13.0
Xiaomi does not sell International versions yet. That's what they told me.
Mine is M1803E1A with Global ROM as well. I did not even know this is a Chinese version since it has a Global ROM out of the box.

Honor buy as they told me they sell the Global version, but it will be available in two weeks or so.
Hello everyone, I have recently bought the Mi 8 from a vendor in Hong Kong. The Phone is currently on MIUI Global 9.6 Stable (OEAMIFD) and the bootloader is locked. Now my question is: If I unlock the bootloader, will I be able to lock it again in the future?
I'm aware that Chinese version phones can not be locked again after flashing the global version, but is my phone different due to it being shipped with the locked global version?
The model name is: M1803E1A

If you have MIUI Global Stable and locked bootloader, It means that you have Mi8 Global version and you can unlock the bootloader and relock it again as long as you stay on the MIUI Global version. Don't flash chinese Rom and relock the bootloader.
Hello, I bought a Remdi k20 pro 2 months ago in Japan from amazon( I'm still in Japan now) and apparently I got a the "fake" Global version one. The firmware version is 9.5.31 and I can't get any updates from the official Updater. Now I have some questions.
1) In this forum I read that I need to install a "fresh" update to overcome this "problem". I will go back to europe next year so I would like to have a European firmware if possibile, how can I download it?
2)This Redmi k20 is the chinese Version with the fake Global Firmware apparently... From the settings it is identified as "Mi 9 T Pro" ( maybe its because the "fake" Global firmware wants to make the phone look as a Global version even though is the Chinese one), does this mean that it has the B20 LTE? Is is a matter of Software or hardware? If i Install the european firmware, will the B20 LTE work?
Thanks in advance!
As the title state, I'm wondering which variant is TKFEUXM 14.0.2.0; someone say Global, other says EEA (European); from which I found on Google, seems that "EU" in the name suggests EEA.
T - Android Version
KF - Device Code
EU - Region Code
XM - Sim Lock (carrier)
->
Tiramisu
Redmi Note 10 Pro
EU variant
Unlocked
It is confusing to me.
I purchased the phone (sweet) in the UK from mi/com/uk that had MIUI Global 12.5.8
12.5.8.0(RKFEUXM) but the ADB and Device Info HW app were reporting sweet_eea
adb devices -l
List of devices attached
[...] device usb:3-3 product:sweet_eea model:M2101K6G

The first update it received was 13.0.17.SKFEUXM so EU again.
Recently I installed Lineage 20 custom ROM that was calling to flash firmware V14.0.1.0.TKFMIXM which is the Global version.
All was good until I discovered that this newly installed system shows V14.0.2.0.TKFEUXM
Does the V14.0.1 Global firmware include V14.0.2 EU firmware?
Are there any differences between EU and Global firmware?
Can those be flashed like for like?
Is my device a global or EEA device?
It is all not clear. Phone purchased in the UK, with global software and EU firmware?
What is going on here?
Any clarification and advice appreciated.
