I honestly wouldn't recommend flashing unofficial twrp. You should wait for official twrp to release for this phone here:
https://twrp.me/Devices/Xiaomi/
I suggest you only unlock your bootloader and use stock rom for now and wait for official twrp.

will likely take months before official TWRP is released (if it even happens at all)

Hiw did you do that
The easiest and most secure way is with xiaomitool v2. Just download it and it does everything for you.
Did the same today, now on Miui 11 Global 11.0.3

K20 Pro > Which TWRP to use?

First of all, Thank You for your time.
This is the first time I am going to try custom rom (MIUI 11.0 STABLE RELEASE From xiaomi.eu). There are many TWRP versions, also Orange Fox, but I cant find anything official. Which one should I use?
I am on Official Global 10.3.2 (Mi 9T Pro Rom). Do I need to install Miui 11 first before installing xiaomi.eu rom?
Thanks again, appreciate the help.
u can install twrp in ur running version, no need to install any other version.
u can search in youtube for better understanding as u r doing it for the first time.
no need official twrp. unofficials are ok.

Dude, you don't need to install miui 11. The first thing you need to do is to install TWRP with Android 9.0 and 10 support "TWRP 3.3.1-15 Unofficial by mauronofrio" that works flawlessly on the k20 pro and Mi 9t pro models. Then upload the Magisk zip file immediately when you log in to the TWRP screen. After you do this, you can install any Custom Rom file.
And if you have the Mi 9T Pro remember only Mauronofrio's TWRP is working. Abhisheks doesn't work with it.
You can also try orangefox version 10.0-7. It's the latest I think.
FYI, MIUI.eu's ROMS all have TWRP as their default recovery. Tested both 10.4.6 and 11.0.2 without issues. Magisk 19.4 and 20.0 also installs without problems.

Want to convert to india rom (k20 pro) from global, already downloaded miui 11, android 10 india (.zip).

You better flash xiaomi.eu miui11 Rom
Because indian rom doesn't support NFC
and it's pretty bloated. Even the xiaomi music app is bloated by Hungama add-on(and it's really frustrating).
If you flash miui11 by xiaomi.eu you don't need to flash firware and vendor file as the Rom itself contains them .
I highly suggest you to flash xiaomi eu rom
And it's far better than official MIUI
And less bloated
Only con is - no OTA updates in Xiaomi.eu roms
Every update is around 2.1GB in size
(I personally use xiaomi.eu MIUI 11 beta rom)

A couple of questions...

Hi guys,
My friend bought a Redmi K20 Pro Premium Edition from China for me and I would like to flash a Global ROM on it. I don't need root or TWRP, so I presume I don't need to unlock the bootloader.
The current Chinese ROM installed on the phone is v10.4.4, but the latest stable Global is v10.3.5. Would flashing v10.3.5 Global brick the phone?
And would flashing the MI 9T Global ROM work as well, considering it's essentially the same phone?

afaik u must unlock bootloader to install other rom than k20 pro premium rom itself.
k20 pro premium is only available in china, so any global rom means it doesn't build specifically for pro premium.
The only official rom for k20 premium is Chinese ROM, all Global rom is modified version of K20 Pro/Mi 9t Pro.

Thanks for your reply.
I wasn't thinking of installing custom roms, I was referring to official stock ROMs. Apparently, you can just install the latest K20 Pro Indian Stable on the Premium Edition:
https://c.mi.com/thread-2541738-1-1.html
Would that work?

You will need to unlock the bootloader.
To flash an official ROM, but for a different region that the phone is from then you need to unlock the bootloader in order to flash a fastboot ROM.
It is not possible to flash a fastboot ROM without unlocking the bootloader

should work, but even fastboot flash using miflash need to unlock bootloader first(?).
yup sorry, I forgot you still need to unlock bootloader for fastboot to work. I know what to do now, thanks everyone!
also if flashing different region rom, never relock bootloader again, even if it was official rom.
Yup, I read that it'll brick your device if you select clean data and lock bootloader. Have noted this and thanks again for the confirmation / reminder.
You will need to unlock for sure.
It doesn't work like that
Maybe flash xiaomieu rom if u want full experience
OK, waited 168 hours and have unlocked successfully today. When I tried to flash via MiFlash, it says "mismatch image and device". I'm sure I read that the Redmi K20 PRO India fastboot ROM will work on a K20 PRO Premium Edition, so not sure why I can't flash it...
I also found a Android 9.0 fastboot ROM for K20 Premium here:
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/raphaels/
My phone is already on Android 10 MIUI 11. Will flashing an older version brick the device? I read somewhere ages ago that Android or MIUI doesn't allow downgrade?

There is no anti-rollback protection for this phone (I assume this is also true for premium edition), so you should be OK to flash an earlier Android 9 ROM.

Thanks! I can also confirm that there is no ABP, as I've verified it using this guide here:
https://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-anti-rollback-protection-brick-phone/
I was able to flash the fastboot ROM, but turns out it's just an Chinese stable, not Global or India Global rom. I don't know why I can't fastboot flash the Global ROM though. The Chinese fastboot ROM has the name "PFKCNXM" in it. So I'm guessing that if I find a fastboot ROM that is similar to that, it should work. I'm currently testing out the following:
- PFKMIXM
- PFKINXM
Download links here:
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/miui/raphael/
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/miui/raphaelin/
Neither QFKMIXM or QFKINXM worked for me, so I hope one of the above will work.
update: got this working. I first flashed this:
raphaelin_in_global_images_V10.3.5.0.PFKINXM_20190816.0000.00_9.0_in
And now I can flash both QFKMIXM (9.0) or QFKINXM (10.0)
As someone mentioned in a previous reply, NFC is missing in the Global ROM. I also noticed that the mobile signal strength is lower as well and that the Dual GPS is missing too.
Would flashing the China radio/baseband fix this? I know for phones like Samsung, you can flash the CP firmware, which includes the modem/baseband firmware. I don't know what the process is to extract the firmware from the China ROM and flash it. I guess if there's a .zip file that we can flash via TWRP, then that will work?
UPDATE:
OK, have flashed TWRP and flashed the firmware that I downloaded from here:
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware
Tried both the Chinese firmware and the Global firmware. Didn't really make much difference. I had -97 dBm and now I'm on -95 dBm. The lower, the better/stronger the signal. It is an improvement, but not by much....

no man.... there is no twrp and rooting on miui13. You have to get boot.img for your rom and use magisk app on your mobile to patch this boot.img. Copy the patched boot.img to pc and flash the patched one via fastboot. that's it.
