4g LTE works on Global Rom 9.2.1

Just downloaded the new Global Rom 9.2.1 and noticed that 4g LTE is working. Did a few tests and found that it really is working. I have ATT as my provider.

I just flashed 9.2.1, and 4G/LTE didn't work for me. Did you do a full wipe, and were you previously running LOS, AOSP, AICP, or MIUI. Is anyone else getting 4G/LTE in the US.

Does MI8 China version support AT&T or T-mobile sim card in the US?

Is there any one in the US can tell me whether Mi 8 supports AT&T and T&mobile sim cards in the US and is the signal good or not? Also, if anyone knows, the signal is better in Miui China version or in custom roms with those sim cards?

Yes, i'm using an Mi8 China version (newer 8gb ram) on the T-Mobile network. Great signal (Midwest), running Weekly MIUI official beta Global ROM. In order to have VoLTE i had to root and add Magisk module.

No NFC on global ROM ?

I have the K20 pro, MIUI global 11.0.3 stable (11.0.3 QFKINXM) and for some reason there is no NFC option on my phone.
Is there any other official ROM that I can install that have call recorder and NFC?
It's super important for me to have the call recorder built in as I have at the moment.
Tnx for the help

I'm surprised you have the call recording feature--I've never had that available on the official Global ROM of any Xiaomi phone--although it's possible that feature is available or not based on the region you choose at set up.
You don't have an NFC option under connections and sharing?
It's there on the Global ROM on my phone.

Once again 'global' ROM causes confusion.
Depending on how you look at it, there is either 1 global ROM or 4 global ROMs.
For any ROM that is not Chinese, you will notice that it is referred to as global MIUI in the about phone settings page.
However there are 4 different ROMs that are labelled this way.
Indian
European
Russian
Global
The Indian phone does not have NFC hardware, therefore NFC is disabled in the Indian ROM. You have an Indian ROM installed on your phone.
The European, Russian and Global ROMs all come with the Google dialer app, which does not allow call recording.
If you want non-Chinese MIUI, with working NFC and the MIUI dialer app that allows call recording, then I believe your only option is the xiaomi.eu ROM.

Prior to the Android 10 update on the MI 9T Pro the Global ROMs on every Xiaomi phone I have ever owned had the Xiaomi Dialer and Messaging apps--Xiaomi put out a press release less than two weeks ago confirming the switch to the Google Dialer and Messaging apps on the Global ROMs.
I'm not sure why the OP would be running an official Xiaomi ROM that doesn't correspond to the hardware on his phone.

We're not talking about previous phones, we're talking about the Mi 9T Pro, which has the Google dialer and messaging apps, and has had them since its release.
Only the K20 Pro (both regions) came with the Xiaomi dialer and messaging apps.
All we know is that the OP has a K20 Pro. They may have the Indian version, in which case they have the correct MIUI ROM. Otherwise, they obviously don't want to live with the Chinese MIUI ROM.

Head to www.xiaomi.eu site and from the menu bar on left. You have two options. 1.Stable roms are not updated very frequently and are with lesser to zero bugs. 2. Weekly developer roms if you want to experience new features early but may have bugs.
Before flashing a .eu rom you will have to unlock your bootloader and flash a custom recovery. You will find all the related info and procedures in XDA development threads.

@fernoct much appreciated your help and the answer

I have a K20 Pro Premium Edition. Currently, there is only the China ROM available for the Premium Edition.
I was able to flash the K20 Pro Global ROM on it, then I discovered it doesn't have call recording (which I need). So then I flashed the K20 Pro Indian ROM on it and it has call recording, but missing Dual GPS and NFC. The mobile signal strength seems to be weaker as well, compared to when I was on the K20 Pro Premium Edition China ROM.
I know there are recording apps out there, but I prefer to run the native call recording if possible. The main problem for me is the signal strength on the Indian ROM. It sucks and I'm wondering if flashing a different region firmware will fix this? Can someone confirm?

That's custom resource, not firmware. It changes only icons, nothing else. Calling it a custom firmware is misleading and incorrect.
Custom firmware modifies/adds functions, this is not possible with Mi Band 4.

ok sorry

Question Redmi 9T Differences

Hello,
I have a Redmi 9T (lime) device. But unfortunately no ROM has been made for lime. What happens if I install ROMs for Juice or Chime?
For example, it is stated as lime in this, but when I want to download it, chime appears. Is it okay?
Project Elixir
projectelixiros.com

Up.

Up.

There is no major differences.
1. For Poco - 1 camera less, may lead to instability of stock camera, not more, gcam anyway.
2. For any - no nfc/nfc, no problem on hardware without nfc, but won't work at all on roms built without nfc support.

Ok so I hardened my heart and installed elixer on my Redmi 9T(Lime) and it went pretty bad (luckily my phone survived).
1. The unofficial recoveries are not stable enough and I had a lot of trouble due to encryption
2. After messing around I was able to install the rom (have to try 2-3 different recoveries)
3. After successful installation the phone was stuck in a bootloop
4. I gave up at that time and just flashed the stock rom
So conclusion is that there might not be major difference on the surface but I think at firmware level there are difference

Ok forget about my previous comment I was an idiot..
So the bootloop was because of encryption and today I was able to flash elixer on my redmi 9T (LIME)
So back to your question whats the difference and that is none, I will explain why:
1. The phones Poco M3, Redmi power, redmi 9t lime, lemon, 4G, etc are same and are given a unified code name Juice or Chime depending on the firmware vendor used by the developer of the custom rom.
2. Chime codename custom roms are using OSS vendor which is opensource and is supported for a longer period of time but is not stable yet
3. Juice codename custom roms are using MIUI Stoch vendor firmware which is obviously developed by xiaomi and is very stable
you can flash any chime or juice rom in your phone as long as you follow the developers guide properly because there are very high chances that you will run into encryption issues because recoveries dont support androind 11 or up decryption.

So does anyone know how long its going to take for chime to become stable?

I am using Elixer OS 3.3 and its quite stable, you can try, the only issue I found is with recoveries and once the Elixer rom is booted its pretty stable for daily use

When I tried Project Elixr, the phone was stuck on Mi, so I will try android 11 rom today or tomorrow, any suggestions? I will try PixelOS accordingly.

Flash latest stock miui using miflash tool, but be very careful while selecting flash option, only select "wipe all and flash" do not in any case lock the bootloader again

If you accidentally lock the bootloader then chances are you will brick the device

If I have encryption problems, I will not be able to install a custom rom ? and that's the only way to brick the device ?

As long as you dont lock the bootloader you can recover from most of the situations, you can still install the rom, encryption issue occurs when you dont follow the rom maintainers instructions while installing the rom, flashing the stock firmware will reset the process and you have to start again from step 1

I have an ignorant question. Been thinking about this since yesterday.
I know the NFC equipped R9T are region dependant, but just recently Google Wallet is now available in my region and also supporting NFC contactless payments with select banks. The R9T in my region are being sold without NFC. A global variant Redmi 9T for Malaysian market.
My silly question is, is it possible for us to obtain the NFC hardware or get it from a donor R9T phone that has it, and then install it in the phone and make it working? Like plug and play?
I assume it's very, very impossible... But assuming it cannot, why tho? Is there a permanent restriction hard-coded into the phone due to region dependant?
