So it just came in the mail, K20 Pro 6gb.
I got it from Goldway on Aliexpress advertised as K20 Pro Global. I was half expecting it to arrive and it not be correct model number in settings as these 'Hacked' roms report to have, but it says K20 Pro.
Upon booting I successfully signed up to a Mi account and logged in, everything seems normal. Am I in the clear for flashing? Provided below are screenshots.
Through fastboot I get responses that of a successful unlock. When I open Mi Unlock, log into my account and connect my phone with fastboot I get the screen below. I don't need to unlock it so I guess that doesn't matter?
Thanks in advance.

I guess you phone was unlocked by seller with some special tool.
You can install TWRP and then any rom you like.
Dont touch mi flash and stay away from "cleall all and lock".
Wow, is it an actual global ROM? maybe you shouldn't flash it with anything aotm and play with it a bit. let us know about the experience of a true global ROM.

As I learned recently there is no OFFICIAL Global ROM, the so called Global ROMs being sold are modified Chinese ROMs, the downside is that there ''might be'' malicious software installed in these ROMs as there is no telling what the retailer installed exactly. The true OFFICIAL Global ROMs won't be realeased before September by the looks of it.
No anything global, some fake Global rom not make your phone global with global basebands for LTE!

Well it did say raphaelin. that just confused me for a little bit.. I did figure as much, It's funny how some sellers tout the global ROM for me when I'm looking for CN Rom. I said I wanted an unopened untouched product.
So I've ended up installing TWRP and tried out Xiaomi.eu and Mi Globe roms so far. Upon booting both of these roms its made me verify my phone number associated with my Xiaomi account/phone. Would this mean that my phone is actually linked to MY Xiaomi account and number? TIA

Yes, but you'll get those prompts on MIUI based roms only.

I have recently purchased my first Xiaomi device (Mi 8) and so far I am impressed. I currently have a locked bootloader but have only got 15 days or so left until it is unlocked. In the mean time I was interested in upgrading my current ROM (China Stable ver 10.0.9.0) to China Developer ROM (ver 8.11.15). From what i have read I was under the impression that changing between a stable and developer/beta rom of the same region (EU, Global or China) was allowed.
I have tried doing it by the local update method which didn't work and then via XiaoMiTool to which I got to the very end of the process and was left with the following screenshot (image below) which states that I need to unlock the bootloader in order to update to China Developer ROM, is this correct? Does anyone know of any way I can install the latest China Developer Rom via another method without unlocking bootloader? Could I sideload it using XiaomiADB?
Any help would be appreciated.

You can update from china stable to china dev. Just download the latest china dev and select it from the phone`s updater. You don`t need unlocked botloader for this. I did it on my mi5 and mi8, but this will format your phone.
Thanks for the reply. I found out that it had to be the latest China Dev Oreo rom which I need to flash via update. I was then able to update to latest Pie.

Hey, I'm having the same issue. Can you point to where you downloaded the latest Oreo Dev ROM? Can't seem to find it.

To install estable china rom over china dev rom I have first to unlock the bootloader?
Hello,
Here I have a problem to unlock my bootloader of my global mi9.
I made the request for deverouillage in the rules, but after 360h, miunlock told me to wait another 4 days.
after 4 days, I have the message in Chinese (see photo) and impossible to unlock the bootloader.
I never had a problem to unlock the bootloader of my other xiaomi phones before.
Do you have a solution?
Thanks for your help.

Oh sorry missed that. What the error says in english is something like: the phone has not been used in the specified time and cannot be unlocked. Did you turn the phone off after starting the timer? Probably some weird anti reseller protection by xiaomi. I would try binding the device to your mi account account again.

I mean I doubt that using older version of mi unlock tool have been solved the problem. The error shown on the image mean that connection between the phone and PC have been lost. There is no way to bypass the waiting time other then having VIP account or find someone who has and willing to help.
I know we have the Indian and EEA version of the ROMs. But does anyone have the global (MI) version of the stock ROM?
Not yet. I was hoping it would come out with the Malaysian release. Malaysia sell started from August 30. I didn't see any version info for that rom yet.
I'm also waiting for the same ROM. does anyone already have the device.
please upload.

On which rom did your device came with? Was the bootloader locked with widevine L1 certification?
If it came locked with China rom, you can't have L1.
If it came locked with Indian rom, you can't have NFC.

Download fastboot file
Unlock bootloader, and flash via MiFlash
And remember check Clean All, not clean all and lock, to keep bootloader unlock!

Is your bootloader unloacked? If you have unlocked your bootloader, you can flash the EEA rom or Global rom or flash TWRP and install a Xiaomi.eu rom. All of those allow for regional changes in setup.
I'd advise you to just get the Xiaomi.EU Rom. Just pick the Stable one IMO

Is there no way to resolve it without flashing the ROM? I am little apprehensive about flashing the ROM as I have not done the before
Have you tried more locale 2 app from play store? If not, you give it a try

It's the version of GMS that gets installed by some shops before shipping. It doesn't have location tracing and a few others and really is not much use if you are outside China. As others have said, get your bootloader unlocked, wait the 168 hours and change over to the EU ROM. Pop over to the EU forum for all the pro's and downloads but everyone here will help if they can and most users post on both forums. https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/21-7-21-22.62299/

Glad you have found a way around your country settings. You may well find other shortcomings in the mini GMS too. Only resolution is to flash a full GMS included ROM. But as long as your needs are catered for, it's all good.
Hello! I have a problem with ROG PHONE 2, I bought it from China with a global version, but I think it was flashed there by the Chinese to the global version and I can't update it to the latest global version. Currently the version is PKQ1.190414.001.WW_Phone-16.0640.1908.12! What would you advise me? I also have the following problem when unlocking the pixelated screen and I have to turn it on and unlock from the button 4-5 times to fix it. https://photos.app.goo.gl/m6deeo8xnQsFNJwF6

do you mean the automatic updates in the system? you can manually update your phone by downloading the latest firmware (Make sure to select WW version if your phone is global) in the official site and saving it in the root folder (Just inside the internal storage) and it will be detected by your phone, if not just restart your phone (you can see in the notification that the phone detects a new update)
I've already tried it gives an error! Maybe I should go through another lower version first?
