HOW TO Not brick a Xiaomi Mi 8? - Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers

Hello, in some days i will buy a Mi 8 because i give my Mi Note 3 on a good friend because her phone was stolen! I have unlocked bootloader on Mi Note 3, twrp, magisk and some mods and i'm using mi-globe rom (based on xiaomi.eu) and i want to unlock and use the same rom again on Mi 8, but i'm scarred about ARB and bricks!
Any help? Thank you!

Unlock your Mi 8 bootloader, download and flash mi globe rom and there should be no bricks!

You can use aosp roms on 6x without converting.

Still no way to transform it to MI A2 with ARB 4?
The question "Freedom" in android does not apply to xiaomi. Hehe .. it's no accident that miui is almost a clone of ios.

No you can't i tried flashing miui china beta but it didn't took the flash. Only a2 rom will flash successfully. I had converted my a2 to 6x with unlocked bootloader. At a time i bricked it and it was stuck on edl mode. I tried to flash mi 6x rom but it didn't took that rom but when i flashed a2 rom it took the rom. After that i have to flash mi 6x rom again and it came back to life!

[OXYGEN] MI Max 2 ROM on MI 5X?

A bit of backstory:
Ordered a Xiaomi Mi 5X (MDE2) from AliExpress. Tried flashing but then found out thru fastboot that I don't have a tiffany bootloader. And the Oxygen bootloader is apparently ported from the MI Max 2.
So I thought: "Why not just flash a Mi Max 2 Rom?" But I'm afraid to brick my phone... Can I flash Mi Max 2 ROMs on an Oxygen Mi 5X? Please help...
Dont even try it.. I already bricked my Mi 5x MDT2 oxygen bootloader. Dont even upgrade or downgrade ur device.

I don't think u have same phone..maybe your friend have mi 9t (not pro). On mi 9t pro every rom RU/EU/MI have google dialer, only china and india variant have miui dialer. Since your friend is on MI (global) version and have mi dialer its a non pro version mi 9t.
The only way u can get MiUi dialer is to flash Indian version rom but u will lose nfc feature. Also on your model u can lock bootloader without brick if u flash EU/MI/IN/RU official rom.

if i flash indian rom, my phone will boot with Mi logo or Redmi logo since the indian rom is for redmi k20 pro.
If i flash the indian rom, i will still get the OTA updates right ?
and can u give me a link for a tutorial how to flash the indian rom on my mi 9t pro and lock BL.
