Xiaomi Mi 9 Explorers / Transparent Edition compatible to Global Mi 9 Rom ?

Hi there!
after >6 weeks of use I experienced that the Chinese stock Rom is really uncomfortable for me to use, so I want to flash the Global or any other German Rom on it. I cant setup the google assistant on the AI button and many other little things annoying me . Chinese Appstore, Movie base , Browser that pop up from time to time and cant delete without root are just a few of this.
Did anyone root this edition yet ?
Did anyone flash the global rom on a Mi 9 transparent edition yet ? Is it compatible ?
The only differences are 256gb internal memory, 12gb ram and a better camera. So my guess is, that its compatible but I really dont wanna brick it.
Thanks for your help!

I have a 8GB Transparent edition mi9 with global ROM although I didn't flash it. And it came BL unlocked.
All banking apps work though some won't let me log in with fingerprint. GooglePay doesn't work. Netflix won't even install.
Otherwise, all good. I'm considering relocking the BL to fix the aforementioned though I'm not sure if the person who unlocked it is tied to the phone via mi...

I have the 12/256 version, bootloader unlocked and rooted with twrp (have tried many TWRPs) flashed Globe rom (not to mistaken with global), also flashed Ros. It's all good, just be sure your BL is unlocked. Currently running TWRP-3.3.1-6-siankatabg-MI9 with Globe rom 9.5.30 from here. All working fine and dandy my man (or woman!). Camera fine too!
FYI, Globe is based on xiaomi.eu, but with some more customizations on their page. note: youtube vanced, mixplorer, adaway, although selected don't install from rom flashing, they're in a globe folder on the device after for installing. Not sure why they're not installed. Also, DON'T install Magisk from the options, flash it manually after rom has installed - if that's what you want. Oh, and DON'T change the name of the zip file, it's the configuration for the flashing script.
EDIT: No issues with banking apps - I use Barclays and Santander, Barclays works with just a simple magisk hide, had to follow a guide for another device for Santander to work, but it does none the less. Haven't tried google pay, but apparently there's a work around. I don't use it. Just tried Netflix, again, I don't use it but it installed fine. No issues
Good luck bud

You could contact the previous user and ask them to delete the device from their mi account, it's easy enough to do.
Which rom you on bud? Just tried Netflix and it installed just fine. I don't use google pay, but apparently there's a workaround for this too...

I'm on stock. I'll do as you suggested though and ask if the seller can remove this from his mi account

Will bootloader unlock alone be detected/prevent apps from working

Hey guys
I'm coming from a OnePlus One, Lineage OS 16.0. Rooted with latest Magisk.
Over the years I've encountered several apps that wont work on a modified system - now I want to start new with the Mi9T Pro and set it up in the right way.
To start with: Will a bootloader unlock alone be detected by anything? I'm not sure what ROM to use in the end, but this is always the first step.
And since Magisk can't hide everything (e.g. health insurance apps are really strict and clever), is it possible to have two systems parallel (like dual-boot)? One "unmodified" system for all the security-concerned apps.
Or are there any other solutions for this?
Thanks!

K20 Pro Indian Variant Clarifications

1. Do we lose L1 certification after flashing custom roms? Do we recover status back with persist image?
2. Are we able to use all the Indian banking apps? Since GPay is a pain in ass to make it work with root/custom ROMs
Getting back to android modding community after approximately 3 years, though have been following threads.
Any inputs on the above would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.

No.
Yes

I mean is the No part for the persist image or the status of L1.

For some custom ROMs you need to wipe Persist to get some sensors to work and you loose then L1.
When going back to MIUI you can restore Persist and L1

I wanted to switch from MIUI Global 12.0.1 Stable to the Indian version V12.0.2.0 to have the default call recorder,
through the file raphaelin_in_global_images_V12.0.2.0.QFKINXM_20200710… tgz
after expanding it, using XiaoMiFlash latest version.
But after pressing the Flash key the message “error: Missmatching image and device” appears.
What can I do to install the Indian version?
Thank you for your help.

I bought a k20 pro (raphealin) like a month ago I think, got it with miui 11, updated to miui 12 12.0.2.0, got bored looked up the EU version, unlocked bootloader, installed orange fox r11 (or whichever version is the latest that just came out I don't remember), took a backup of persist along with everything (cuz I read somewhere that I could lose L1 and having a backup of persist might help so I took backup), flashed the EU rom 12.0.3.0, flashed magisk (didn't plan on flashing it, but then when I was flashing the rom, I thought might as well no downside, voiding the warranty anyway), have been using it for 2 weeks I guess now, its been working great, renamed the magisk manager to something else, used magisk hide on other apps. I didn't loose L1 and can see FHD in Netflix and best in PrimeVideos, High in Disney+, banking apps work fine (iMobile, PayTM, Gpay (Indian version / used to be called tez I think before), BOB apps also (although they aren't working but I think that's BOB's fault as I am not getting OTP, checked on other phones too, not receiving there too, but they are opening no rooted error or anything), Digilocker too (this won't work with just magisk hide, you will need to rename magisk manager and after a reboot it works, I would you rename it anyway cuz there is no downside, cuz otherwise if you wanna use this then you will need to later so), ETMoney, Groww PhonePe, MyCAMS, PAYPAL these all work fine, I don't know any other apps I don't use them). Even though I didn't lose L1 after flashing I have kept the backup in case in future I need it.

No local backup of app and app data

Hello everyone,
I am using Realme x50 pro 5g Android 10. I was looking for backup and to my surprise there is no App and app data backup available. Can any one help how to make make app and app data backup.
As user of Redmi note 4 I am surprised to see that there is no local backup in Realme x50 pro 5g,this was available in redmi note 4 and other Xiaomi models.
If someone could tell me how to take app and app data x50 pro 5g it will be very helpful.
Is there any possibility that newer updates will bring better backup. Due to sing enormous complaints about Realme Ui 2.0 Android 11 I didn't upgraded to that Version.
I don't understand as a Customer spending lots and lots of money for mobile phones. I don't get Notification lights, 3.5mm headphone jack, Increase in Bloatware, Only unnecessary development in ROM which doesn't bring high productivity. Where are we going?
If someone could help Kindly reply. Thanks
Best Wishes

Hello friend,
You can back up your everything data of your phone using Titanium backup. But you need to root your phone. I think your phone can unlock bootloader then flash Magisk to root the phone.
I had Realme X50 5G model no.RMX2025 and RMX2144 both cannot be unlocked. So I sold them out.
Realme further updates will be about security and probably one more Android version update. And you will need to pay them for the new phone with newer Android.
I agree with your complain about Realme cares of their customers. Right now they care more about vendors so they are removing unlock options from their newer devices. Huawei has removed Unlock options from all of their devices since 2018. If you look for good standardised and customised Android phones, Xiaomi phones are a great choice.

Hello Friend,
Thanks a lot for replying.
I have unlocked the Bootloader for Realme x50 pro 5g RMX2076 Android 10.
There is no official twrp and I am having difficult time to install TWRP and root.
I thought Realme has come to give competition to all other brands in market but the way there software development is not good. Realme has the best Hardware specs at really good price.
I am still using Redmi note 4 past 4 years.
I wanted to purchase K20 Pro premium edition but it was not available and I am also very Disappointed by Xiaomi there phones are getting extremely expensive (Success has gone to their heads).
Now days even after spending lot of money unable to get desired phone and get on with work and life. Newer phones removing 3.5mm headphone Jack, No notification lights, Increase in Bloatware.
Unfortunately I am not in a state to sell my phone and buy a new one. I researched a lot before buying Realme x50 pro 5g and it has the best Hardware at good price. Now struggling with software side.
Thanks very very much for replying. Tc

Hello Friend,
I recently rooted my Realme x50 pro 5g RMX2076 11 A.40. I am very difficult time to Install app and app data.
Thanks to this Senior member who did the hardwork in helping me to root.
TWRP 2076
Anyone have any idea if the 2076 is going to have TWRP at some point ... in addition to some ROM
forum.xda-developers.com
I am using Magisk. (I think latest version) I don't know much technical details. I just want to use my new phone without any problems.
I used Titanium Backup Pro from back up my app and app data only then through otg cable transfered all the data in Realme x50 pro 5g RMX2076. Titanium Backup doesn't restore all the apps it gets stuck on some apps or all apps but when I select only 2-3 apps the app gets restored (only in some apps some apps don't restore at all and gets stuck)
I was able to restore few apps with all data etc like Facebook,Facebook messenger with logged in status. I am unable to use one bank app may be magisk.
Tired of doing of all the things just to use my phone with simple features like data backup security and ease of use even after spending lot of money.
Sorry to bother you like this or for that matter anyone on xda. I first search the internet for Problem solution then only post in Forums.
Any Suggestions what might be the issue?

Hello friend,
Glad to hear that you could flash Magisk for your phone. If you wanna use bank apps, you shouldn't root your phone. My phone for bank apps also does not root.
For Titanium Backup, I back up only data from the apps, not back up the actual apps. I install the apps from Play Store and then restore data only for that app. This way will work mostly for backing up many apps.
But in some apps like Line messenger, backing up data like message history will crash the app. So cannot backup data for this app. But for most apps, using TB will help back up settings and data. This will possibly help you save your time to set up all the apps.
Another thing to mention is Realme may not upgrade Android version for your phone. So there may not be Android 11 for X50 5G Pro. Android 10 will last for 2-3 years before outdated and new apps will request to upgrade Android for installing them. The alternative way to upgrade your phone is to flash GSI ROMs.
I know nothing about programming either. But to save money by upgrading my phone by myself worth the time. If you wish to flash GSI ROMS, you can reply me again. My Redmi K30 5G has better performance and more organized than MIUI EU ROMs.
Good luck,

Hello Friend,
Thanks very very much for replying.
Titanium Backup is supposed to do app and app data backup and restore it. There are some apps that need local backup. I don't trust cloud backup due to Privacy and security reasons.(I may not not be able to escape privacy and security but will try my best to do so. Recently Deleted whatsapp and switched to Signal App.)
You are right about GSI Roms (I first Googled what is GSI ROM. LOL).
For GSI ROM also one needs twrp or other good Recovery. Realme x50 pro 5g doesn't has any official twrp or any ROM.
I am not a big fan of latest Stock ROM. Latest versions only Improve things that are not really productive like better Ram management, multitasking. I am not using any kind of games but I should be able to do all work related things using some heavy apps.
I am also not an advanced user so using custom roms of any kind is risky if something thing goes wrong will loose all data and might brick the phone.
Again Thanks for taking time to reply. Really Appreciate it.

You're welcome. For GSI ROMs, actually you don't need TWRP or custom recovery. Because I flashed GSI ROMs for Teclast tablets with no TWRP or so. But you need PC to enter ADB fastboot commands to your phone.
Waiting for TWRP for your phone may take a while. Since there is no currently developers on this forum yet. Please note that your phone is released with Android 10 which is dynamic super partition. There is only TWRP 3.5+ that can flash this type of partition. All the earlier versions of TWRP might ruin your phone partitions that leads to hard brick.
Best regards,

Question Help!

I bought a used mi 11 ultra ..after that i figured out that the seller had been unlocked bootloader...rooted it...and installed a eu. Custom rom
.. i have checked for imei ..and it shows Mi activation lock is ON
Btw i tried to call the seller but he didnt answer... so i have been deceived
Now i dont know anything about MAGISK or custom roms ...
i heard if i format the phone it will be locked at mi account
also THE FINGERPRINT isnot working that i think the root or the custom ROM is the reason
So ..1)if i flashed a custom rom...will the phone be locked?
2) if i installed a magisk modules...will the phone be bricked or locked.. ? Iam afraid to do any clicks or actions so the phone could be bricked
I think the rom is defected ..as reverse wireless charging...fingerprint featers are not working
Sorry for my english ...

1). since your device's bootloader is already unlocked, mi activation lock is not a concern. You can always wipe it clean of all the password lock along with all your data if you haven't backup. a clean install of custom rom will not lock your device.
2). installing magisk will give you root access to android system. i recommend you don't do that unless you have specific reason to do so. It is risky to install suspicious module on your daily phone with banking apps and card information. and yes, you could brick your device with root access.
3). if you are new to custom rom, i recommend searching a tutorial on YouTube for "fastboot mi 11 ultra global stable"
Later you can read more on this forum to try out custom rom at your own risk.

So you mean that i can flash any custom rom ...the phone will not be locked ..
Bty I found that ..mi account in settings cant open it...seems clearly the seller did mi activation lock bypass ..can i permanently remove the activation lock ..so i can use my mi account and flash official roms.?.
Also security status in settings[ below about phone row] cant be opened...
And whats the best custom rom ..offers stability ...max .pubg fps..and optimized battery consumption...since the flashed rom is already defected ...fingerprint and wireless charging not working
.last thing .. if you dont mind ..send me your TELEGRAM or whats so i can ask you some steps to how flash roms ..so iam afraid i could miss anything and brick the phone .
Thanks
