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.

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 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.
Hey Folks,
I unlocked bootloader on my K20 pro CN.
I downloaded Indian fastboot 10.3.3.0
Ready to flash, just need to confirm one details.
I know I shouldn't clean and lock. But what do I select of the other two options? Clean all or save user data?
Anything else I should be careful about?
Thanks
Choose clean all since you are switching rom version, and don't forget to backup your personal data before flashing.

Yes, you won't have NFC feature on India Rom. You Cannot lock your bootloader (choose clean all. Always check before clicking the flash button since clean all and lock is miflash default setting).
Here is the India Rom link:

Do it! Absolutely worth it, after dealing with CN rom for few weeks I am absolutely loving Indian Global. Lets hope we will get another global rom with Mi 9t Pro release at 20th where nfc will work as well
The waiting time to unlock bootloader is finally over......now that it's unlock. After flashing twrp, doing that power and volume button ...it keep getting to mi recovery page -_- , what am i doing wrong here.
Problem resolved, first boot after flashing twrp will have to be directly into twrp. Miui UI recovery will overwrite it if you dont do that....and after that, i flashed Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_02.04.2019.
Now everything i do that up Power + volume button , it lead to twrp.
Hi sorry it this has been asked before but I've recently received my mi 11 ultra global version from Vodafone UK. Like the phone but some issues that are making me debate whether to keep it. Touches missing, battery life and sub par camera. Because I'm on the global version I'm on MiUI 12.0.2. I was wondering if anyone knows if I can flash the EU rom onto this to try out 12.5 to see if I want to keep the phone. I highly doubt we'll see a global release for 12.5 before my time to return the device runs out. Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks
You need to apply for the bootloader unlock process ( takes around 7 days ) and then you can flash the fastboot xiaomi.eu ROM on it just fine.
Good luck !
Brilliant thanks for the reply mate
So my bootloader is unlocked. I got Chinese model with global flashed. Can i flash EU rom via fastboot itself?

Of course you can especially by fastboot. You can flash EU custom ROM or EEA The only problem is you will have Chinese Bands no matter what ROM you install.

Flash it by twrp, not fastboot. Just in case. It's much safer by twrp. And of course, you'll need to track down a Vodafone ROM to return it if you do but I doubt it after flashing EU. And don't worry about the bands as someone said, you'll not miss out on anything.

I am assuming you mean stock. That would actually be the EEA rom. The Xiaomi.eu rom, which is the China rom. minus Chinese bloat and Google services added in must be flashed using TWRP.

He could flash the earlier one by fastboot
Why would flash a rom from over a month ago? The last fastboot rom was issued 5-13.
I was wondering if changing an already converted Chinese model from NE2215 to NE2213 is less risky than the initial conversion?
Any models I see are already on the Global ROM and I want it to be on the EU ROM, and was hoping there was an easy way to do it.
Can it be done with Oxygen Updater like with previous models and does anyone have any experience with this?
Does anyone have any idea if it's easier?

Thanks for the link, I feel pretty confident in flashing it. I guess the people who bricked their phones, did not delete the cow files and that is what caused their phones to stop working. As long as I delete those files I should be fine. Thanks again for all the help.
no need to get complicated... you can switch from one region to another just by installing the rollback rom of the region you want

On my previous Xiaomi phone I had MIUI dialer and call recording was flawless without announcement. On the Redmi Note 12 Pro there's no MIUI dialer but only the Google dialer. I tried to install MIUI dialer apk but it won't even open.
For Google dialer there's call recording announcement and it won't even record the calls from our contacts unless we specifically add individual numbers in the contact list to be recorded which is not at all practical since I've more than a thousand contacts with multiple numbers.
So I'm badly in need of a workaround. Any ideas please? Is it possible to get the MIUI dialer installed and working on Redmi Note 12 Pro?
