I have the new Mi 9T Pro with EEA Rom. I look on most sites but dont find a fastboot image. K20 Pro fastboot rom is not the same and different.

We're still waiting for any official Mi 9T Pro ROM to be made available.
Can you guys clarify what types of ROMs exist for xiaomi devices?
is EEA ROM what you can get from xiaomi.eu?
Is the Global ROM the same as EEA ROM?

Official ROMs are Chinese, Indian, European, Russian and global
EEA ROM is another name for the official European ROM. (EEA is short for European Economic Area).
From what's been reported, there does not appear to be any noticeable difference between the global and EEA ROM. Best guess is that the only differences are GPS optimisations and different advertisement delivery.
You can find official ROMs here for all the above regions https://xiaomifirmware.com/downloads/miflashpro/
Normally people refer to xiaomi.eu ROMs as just EU ROMs, but that's gotten confusing since the launch of the European model, with its own official ROM. xiaomi.eu ROMs are custom ROMs made by an independent team. They take official Chinese ROMs and remove all ads and bloat, add a large number of languages, and throw in some customisations, tweaks and enhancements.

As many of you are aware, it is apparently necessary to flash custom roms over Chinese MIUI rom.
1) Is it safe to flash Chinese rom on a Europe/Global mi 9t pro rom?
2) Has anyone done this and then flashed a custom rom?

It's not necessary. I'm on latest eea firmware and the roms working great! I already tried some roms and never run into issues because of eea firmware.
I am slightly confused by all the different versions of the Mi 9t pro. As of now, MIUI Global 10.3.2. is installed on my phone. Apparently, there are different global versions (global and EEA global).
Two questions:
1. Is it necessary to differentiate between the global and EEA global firmware or can both versions be used/flashed interchangeably? For example, in the LOS 17 thread, only one global firmware has been uploaded/linked.
2. Has Android 10 been released for the Global version? From what I have read so far, it seems that Android 10 has not been released for the global version.

What causes confusion is people referring to any non Chinese version as a global version. Before the European and global versions of the phone arrived most people referred to the Indian ROM as global.
They are all global ROMs, in the wider sense that they all have multiple language options, which is the main reason they all get called global.
However, it is best to think of them in terms of the phone they are made for, in order to avoid confusion. So only referring to the EEA ROM as either a EEA, EU or European version, don't term it as a global version as that should only refer to the version of MIUI for the global phone.
Any MIUI version for the K20/9T Pro can be flashed on any phone. However the bootloader can only be locked with the correct version of MIUI for the phone. Trying to lock it with a different region ROM will brick the phone.
Although LOS17 recommends keeping the correct firmware and vendor for your phone, it isn't strictly necessary. Many users with EEA and global phones have flashed the Chinese firmware and vendor files without any additional issues in LOS. If you wanted to install LOS on a global phone you 'should' be OK flashing EEA MIUI 11 firmware and vendor files before flashing LOS.
AFAIK the global version of MIUI 11 has not yet been released. I can't imagine it being too far behind the EEA version as the 2 are almost identical.
Hello everyone
I have a simple question out of curiosity. I have a global version of a Mi 11 Ultra that cane with a preinstalled MIUI 12.0.1.0 global ROM (RKAMIXM). After unlocking the bootloader I firstly installed xiaomi eu of which I was very disappointed and then moved to the official EEA firmware on MIUI 12.5.3.0 (RKAEUXM) which is my current Daily driver. I would like to know since my device came with a different global rom if the use of the EEA firmware may create a compatibility issue in terms of internet bands and connection speed and in that case if you recommend to move back to original global (which now is available in version 12.5.2.0)

The EEA and Global rom is virtually the same. The reason you can't flash the EEA and then flash the Global is because of anti-rollback code in the flash-all.bat file of the roms. Remove that (usually lines 4-11 in Notepad++) and all roms, regardless of version are flashable. So you can actually try and see which one you like best.
Are you sure I have to do this? Because I flashed EEA 12.5.3.0 over Xiaomi EU 12.5.7.0 without doing that. Did anybody tried both EEA 12.5.3.0 and the new global 12.5.2.0 and tell me the difference?

There's literally no difference Between the EEA and Global rom. The MiFlash tool usually gives someone an error code because of the anti-roll back section in the <flash-all.bat> file when a downgrade is attempted. If it was successful for you, Congratulations! However, it wasn't successful for me and the rom wouldn't successfully complete the install until I edited the script.

Why then the two versions? Which version do you use? I am curious to try the global and see if there is any improvement over the EEA I am using now (especially for 5g speed), even though the one I am using now is blazing fast, but on the global changelog it says performance is 20 times faster (now this might be true already for the EEA version I'm using now)

The reason there are two versions is that they use different radio bands in Europe vs in other areas for example, so the radio bands may be slightly different. Adverts for that region may also be different. I am on T-Mobile here in the US and am running the Xiaomi.eu rom, which is based on the CN rom with Google services baked in and all Chinese bloat removed. This rom (weekly) has many more features that the EEA and Global rom doesn't. Such as the ability too use the rear display for video, which you the EEA and Global doesn't have as yet.
Well I am more interested in the efficiency of the 5g here in uk and what woukd be the best rom. I feel like my stock global was slightly better than this EEA I have now. I might format and flash it to check it out. It's just annoying every time you have to flash you loose all of your data and progress. Still on my current rom I am doing some debloating testing for idle battery improvements
Like I said, it's basically the same with some minor changes specific to the region.
I think I have to try it out myself if I want to be sure

EEA 12.5.6, I expect to come next week or the following to global
Can I flash official rom from one to the other one?
NO as far as i can see their is no difference but no you cannot flash china rom on global phone or global on china it wont boot
I tested the global and EEA global rom in china device and can be used normally
There is, chinese version (cammelia) has dual rear cameras while global version (camellian) has triple rear cameras.

This is nice to hear that. I flashed my M2103K19C with Indian ROM version (POCO M3 Pro) as it is also Camellia, but it did not boot. Then restored back to Chinese one. If you assure this works I will try as well.
i think that with bootloader unlocked it's possible. maybe the camera will not be fully function (in my case it's not a good idea flash china over eea). boot i'm quite sure phone could boot. many european users have buyd online china device, and converted to eea flashing official firmwares
hi ,
if right now i have a chinese mi 11 pro with global rom multi language and with twrp on it , ok? so , if in the near future xiaomi will release her official global rom , will i be able to flash it on my phone? is there any chance that the xiaomi official global rom will be capable to reach?
thnx
I don't get it, you have a global ROM and you want a global ROM?
I suppose that you actually have the unofficial Xiaomi EU ROM. Well a global ROM is not due since the Mi 11 Pro is only on China market. You might try to flash the Mi 11 Ultra and see if it runs ok. Usually Mi 11 Ultra and Pro share the same firmware/ROM
