Different Models

Hi ! I have a noob question
They had three models of mi 8 the 64/128 & 256Go storage and two various models Global Version & a Chinese Version.
But really they had only one version per models of mi 8 but different Firmware of mi 8 ? Exemple for the 64Go model storage this is the same hardware of mi 8 and only the firmware change ? Chinese version or Global version ?
Thank you

Ok ! Thank you. Never lock bootloader on custom rom.
But I can lock it if I use Global rom.
Have a good day.

Ok thanks for response.
But I see with link if you use Global phone you can't use miui china version ?
If I unlock my BL and flash Custom Rom Xiaimi.eu based on China miui version Rom !
They had mistake if I make Ota update of Xiaomi.eu Rom ? No risk lock it and brick it ?
Ps : Yes I understand just don't flash the chinese stable or dev Rom and vise versa !!! With Custom Rom no mistake just if you use miflash don't lock.
Thanks.

You can have every custom rom you want.. for example xiaomieu,it doesnt mean something what kind of source it is. You can use xiaomieu based on china rom with your global version smartphone!
Btw xiaomieu doesnt have ota updates you need to flash manually from twrp every time.

You have a phone that came with an unofficial/fake global ROM. OTA won't work.
Your options are to install an official ROM or a known reputable custom ROM.
Official ROMs will have OTA working, custom ROMs will need you to update them manually.

You can flash official Chinese or Indian ROMs. The Indian ROM is more or less a global ROM, but disables the NFC. The Chinese ROM only has Chinese and English languages, but setting English you will still find the occasional Chinese text creep in. Also it has more ads in system apps.
If you need NFC and want to stay on official ROMs, then it's Chinese. If you can live without NFC then the Indian ROM is a better option, it has the POCO launcher that includes an app draw, you'll not get any Chinese text and there's a lot less ads.
This post has the links for official ROMs, the second post in the thread gives a guide for installing.

You can get the European Mi 9T Pro ROM from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/k2...irmware-10-3-8-0-9-6-13-t3939647/post79726515
Scroll down and look for Global EEA title
Select and download the fastboot ROM under that title.
This guide is from the official global MIUI forums https://c.mi.com/thread-1857937-1-0.html
It tells you how to unlock the bootloader and flash an official ROM. You'll want to go the the fastboot flashing section.
This should have all the info you need.

Thank you very much for the comment. One more question , Why choosing the EEA rom and not the Global rom?
I heard that the global rom updates faster.
Thank's.

Mainly because that post doesn't have the global ROM. Where it says global, it is actually the Indian ROMs. Before the Mi 9T Pro was released many people were, incorrectly, calling the Indian ROM a global ROM and the OP labelled the Indian ROMs as global. He really should change that now to avoid confusion.
If you want the global version there is a thread with links for it somewhere.

Yes that's the official global ROM. Just make sure you download the fastboot ROM. To flash it you need to extract everything first. In Windows you'll probably need to extract it twice, depending on your zip software. After extracting the first time you might have a file without an extension, of this happens rename the file and add .tar to the end of the filename. You will then be able to open and extract this file, giving you the folder that the Mi Flash Tool needs you to point it to.

Try the Mi Flash download link in the very first drivers section. I never had this problem so couldn't say if the link will fix your problem.

and therefore what chance do I have of eliminating branding

If your mi 11 is unlocked, i suppose you want a global rom, flash a rom from : https://c.mi.com/global/forum-2936-1.html

the problem is that it downloads the rom with xiaomi tool installs it and in the final part that gives that error

I don't understand why your phone is already branded with this rom. Be patient, whith miui 12.5, you'll be able to uninstall system apps.

once you could install the zip from the phone memory this method still works
