Excellent. Looking forward to it
On en.miui.com it is said that bootloader can be unlocked at request like in latest miui versions of other models. For me this choice makes perfect sense: if you are good enough you can unlock it, otherwise they don't encourage it

"If you are good enough..." - What does that mean ? As is in if you are a tech head or ?
EDIT:
Until someone actually uses it and proves it does it job, ideally Xiaomi themselves. Don't trust it.

It will be locked - http://en.miui.com/thread-231030-1-1.html
and receiving unlock code from xiaomi will take months if you are just a normal member of miui forum. Even after that, it is possible you are stuck by some weird errors .. just take a look at redmi note / 4c forum.
Thought to but MI 5 on first day.. but not anymore.. have to search for other alternative.

Wich errors? Can you briefly describe them?
Will it be possible to flash the rooted global version on locked bl? That's all I ask at least for months
"Will it be possible to flash the rooted global version on locked bl? That's all I ask at least for months" I'd really like to know that as well
You need an unlocked bootloader to flash roms
As long as xiaomi dosent make unlocking bootloader complicated ...I am ok with it ...but if we have to get codes ,permission etc for xiaomi it will be a hassle ...
either way this beast has to be unchained ...sooner than later I hope

Why lock it in the first place.... its not like they loose money by making it easy?

Because if the bootloader was unlocked by default, people could hack into your phone or access it's data by bypassing the code on the lock screen

not like a locked bootlocker is synonymous with encryption, nor that it makes a phone unhackable. so if that is really their argument, i call bull****!
I dont get this locking at all, be it xiaomi, samsung or whoever. If I buy a smartphone, I want to own it, having full control over both hard- and software. Anything less is unacceptable to me.
If I buy a computer or laptop, I can always install another OS on there and am not forced to use the software that came with it. Why can't smartphones be the same?

Well see that is the thing. There are not opensource bootloaders for Android that could completely replace the bootloader on the device. If you did remove all the OEM software on a device you would have to load even the base bootloader by a jtag device before you would even flash an OS to the device. The bootloader is under the TOS you agreed to when you bought the phone. The hardware you own. The software you buy a license to use. You dont own it.
As for why they do it. One guy got an email reply when he asked and it is simple. They didnt like people removing their services (which is how they make money) So they locked the bootloader so you could only flash MIUI roms with their inbuilt services. Anything else they say is just more BS to come from them.
Also for your PC comment. That has recently changed. The windows 10 32 bit computers come with a locked bootload as well, you have to go through a TON of bs to get it unlocked.

Why? They've been out over a year right? If anything that pattern is indicative of a pretty long wait for mi5 sources.

Mi3 was launched in late 2013. I bought it on like September 2014. No custom ROMs were available. Some months later Ivan (he is not official Dev). But his work is closest to official ones. So hopefully he may release AOSP ROM from official sources (he doesn't share them).
About Mi3 kernel sources, they were delaying it. And it was said that once Mi4 will launch they will release. After launch more delays. And finally after months passed of Mi4 launch they released the kernel source. (it may not have all the modules)
But for Mi Note, it's relatively quick.
Similarly it may take few months.

I'm guessing Ivan will make AOSP rom (based on Marshmallow) for Mi 5 like he has done previously. Should be good
Hi, I'm going to buy a Mi5 64GB Black and I want to learn about modding on this device.
Are there any rom with dt2w support? MIUI mods for dt2w?
I saw a thread about LTE band B20 unlock. Is it really impossible to get?
I'm going to unlock the bootloader (I already got the permission from xiaomi). If I unlock my phone but I stay with MIUI (Global developer) will I lose some functions? I once read about the loss of the ability to use fingerprint.
Good roms besides stock MIUI? Will i lost some functions (like fingerprint or camera functions)?
Thanks!

Every mi5 roms have dt2w support.
I don't know.
You won't.
There are many great custom roms. You will just loose some miui functions not fingerprint or camera.
I´m using android phones since 2010, the first Android Version i started with was 1.6 Donut, and i´ve always had a custom rom running on all my phones, because i was missing features, performance sucked, etc ...
Now i think it´s time for a change ! Oxygen 9.5.4. really fits my needs, i don´t miss anything important, only a root based/magisk adblocker i used on omni (but i don´t wan´t to unlock the bootloader this time because widevine L1 would be gone )
I´ll change to the beta programm when it´s available to get early access to Android Q , but that´s it, no more custom ROMS for me this time .
Most things are achievable without root nowadays (Pixel Launcher with bridge, Youtube Vanced , etc) and i´m tired of daily /weekly flashing of custom ROMS and dealing with their bugs and not yet implemented functions ...
So, what is your opinion on that? Will you keep Oxygen or switch to your favourite custom ROM ? (When it´s available)
Think i might keep mine rooted+stock+substratum... But the stock android looks very good atm with LS customizations and a few other customizations + i like the pixel launcher where the searchbar gets these cool animations of what the google webpage has...

I will keep oxygen os I have the T-Mobile version of this phone but will switch to global oxygen os and flash the nolimits magisk rom
I'm looking forward to Renovate ICE rom. It's stock Oxygen OS but with a load of useful customisations and cosmetic theming options.
Yes you lose Widevine L1 but you get the best of OOS that you can't get on source built custom ROMS. It's a nice balance for me
The good thing about a bootloader unlocked device is choice.. can flash custom ROM anytime we want and change back to stock anytime also.. I'm actually quite ok with Oxygen OS as it is but can't help flashing custom ROMs when I see a good one up.. with OnePlus we have a choice but more and more manufacturers are making it very difficult for us to have that choice.. I've dumped S 10+ for that very reason and sticking with OnePlus stock for now
I'm going to keep a rooted stock rom, but will flash the global rom for faster updates once I get this bootloader unlocked.
That will all depend on whether we get fully functional FP reader for me. If we do then I think the phone will rock with a good custom rom in it.

That's why you should feed back testing info to the devs so they can fix them. They're not a massive corporation and they ain't getting paid to compile these roms.
Stock/root/substratum for a while I think. This is my first OnePlus device, want to play thoroughly first.

good point, as i remember there were some problems with some oneplus devices and FP reader !
i used omni rom on my oneplus 5t before and really loved it, but it took a lot of weekly builds until everything was implemented and working fine ... but then it was my favourite ROM
but for now i really will try to keep stock Oxy , i really like it and i´m tired of flashing and waiting for features ...
by the way, Arnova´s newest GCAM works fine on stock Oxy ... https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog414/
Once we see a Pixel Experience rom I'll be switching for sure.
I'm definitely keeping my phone stock. Once I'm able to unlock the bootloader, then I'm going to the Global version. With the 6T, custom ROMS was having issues with the fingerprint scanner until about two months ago.
I was a flashoholic from the Droid X all the way to the Nexus 6P days but since getting the OnePlus 5 and then the 6, they were the only phones I never felt the need to flash a custom Rom. I won't be likely work this either. I unlock, TWRP, custom kernel and root the instant I get my phones but that's all I need anymore. OOS is more than fine
OxygenOS is great I have stayed on OxygenOS since oneplus 3
I will eventually flash a custom ROM ??
Im also surprised of how well OxygenOS is working and fits needs. Nevertheless I will try and use custom Roms. Just hope they run on 90 hz and the scanner works and also the selfie cam, otherwise I will stick to OOS.
One more who stays on OOS here, mainly because of immersive gestures support (even android Q still has his ugly navbar). But I rooted it on the second day, second because thought having L1 is kinda nice, but after discovering that even with L1 NETFLIX only outputs 720p I decided to unlock, magisk it and install adaway.
Waiting for pixel experience
I had a lot of problems caused by root on my current SGS9+
- not working Google Pay (had to do weird things to get it working)
- some banking apps displaying root warning and won't work or won't let me login by fingerprint
- lost some of the best Samsung features: Secure Folder for example
All I wanted root for was to remove bloatware...since OnePlus don't have much bloatware I only need AdBlock...for adblock I found 2 nice methods:
- https://adguard.com/en/adguard-dns/overview.html
- https://blokada.org/
For YouTube ads we have Vanced thing and I love it so...overall I don't think I will root my next device (which will be OP7Pro in a few days )
I will most likely keep OOS as well, it's been good to me and the first time I have ever remained on stock was starting with my 6T.
I just wish substratum overlays would show without having to reboot. Other than that, I have no issues with stock.
staying with oxygen as usual; it's very nice
So, I was a bit impatient when getting this phone, and I got it around 2 months earlier (first week of July), in the form of the K20 Pro. Now that the Mi 9T Pro has come out, I wanted to know what exactly are the differences? From what I gathered, my phone with the global rom just has its bootloader already unlocked, and the global rom is fake. I noticed as much when I found out that I wouldn't be receiving updates for my OS, and some banking apps were either warning me about root access, or refusing to work (Google Pay).
What I was thinking was to flash the Mi 9T Pro ROM on my phone when it became available. Considering it should be official, I thought that it might work using the MiFlash tool as well, which would be pretty nice. However I'm not sure whether this is possible. What I wanted to ask was - is it possible to flash the OFFICIAL EU ROM for the Mi 9T Pro, on my K20 Pro (w/ the fake global rom)? And if so, would there be any benefits (outside of finally getting updates, and having an official ROM)? I doubt I'd be able to relock my bootloader (and frankly I don't want to risk hardbricking my phone...), but I can circumvent that with Magisk.
Thanks a ton!

Yes you should be able to flash the official EEA fastboot ROM, when it's available. And you are correct in saying you won't be able to lock the bootloader. Benefits depend on your definition and what your comparing against. Since the 7 day wait was over I've been on custom ROMs. I'm my opinion there are no benefits to being on any official MIUI, but then I don't like MIUI. When on the EEA ROM you should get OTA updates, after that I'm struggling to think of a benefit. I'm sure others can add more.

I'd honestly agree with you - I'm a bit of a purist. But at this point, I've become way too attuned to the gestures, and they all feel so second-nature to me now, compared with what I've heard for Android.
Also my worries about custom ROMs were about some hardware compatability, since it's a relatively new device. Like the camera for example, I was planning on installing a custom ROM later on down the line, like in 2020.
That's great to hear though, thanks a bunch!

The MIUI gestures was the only thing I liked and actually missed after the week, I'm hoping the Android Q gestures will be good enough. As things stand you may not have to wait until the end of the year, things are picking up the pace more lately. Most ROMs are stable, provided you follow the installation guides fully and not take shortcuts. Really it's camera apps that still have some catching up to do. The ANX app, which is the stock MIUI camera app, still has bugs. It crashes when trying to access the telephoto lens. I've not found a GCam port that works well yet, the one that can access all three lenses constantly has FC's. And ones that are more stable don't access all three lenses.
Hey guys!
I'm a very recent owner of Mi 9T Pro (less than 24h remaining until unlock becomes available). I'm also a recent consumer (if that's the right word for it) in the custom ROM scene. About a week ago I decided to check out LineageOS 16.0 on my old (Android 4.4.2) phone, and I was blown away by the performance improvement. It really gave my old device a second wind.
So when it comes to my new Mi 9T Pro, the long term strategy is almost certainly to install the official version of LineageOS 17.0 as soon as it becomes available (if at all and boy do I hope it does). However, since the official release might be (as I understand) several months away, it leaves me with a time window to use some other ROM until then. I've checked out LineageOS 16, 17, HavocOS 2.8, 3.0 & Pixel Experience ROM threads in this forum. It appears they all have some or other issues.
And this is where I was hoping to get a suggestion from you guys. What I'm interested in is the most stable ROM currently available for this phone. To be more clear, I'll illustrate what I mean by "stable":
1) Novelty not required.
It doesn't have to be Android 10 necessarily. Stability > novelty.
2) Most commonly used features take precedence.
I would certainly prefer a lag-less UI and no issues with signal reception over working NFC and Bluetooth audio (all 4 issues seem to appear with some regularity in mentioned threads).
Well, that's basically it, I hope you get the gist of it. If not I'll be glad to clarify further.
Just to be clear, I'm really not looking for a perfect solution where there is none. Just the least painful one. MIUI is not an option.
Thank you!
P.S. Sorry if this is a dup. I only managed to find a handful of outdated questions (~2 months old) which had very little engagement to begin with.
I use crDroid 5.8 (5.9 build does not work with global fw &vendor) and all the android 10 ROMs besides LOS 17 have broken NFC and BT .. And los 17 is also not perfect. Slows down after a while. We just have to wait till every K20 Pro / Mi 9T Pro version gets stable MIUI 11. Right now android 10 is not daily drive ready.
I'm using Résurrection Remix with the same build for over 2 month (the last one), and i dont have any bug.
I'm dtarting to have some troubleshootings after 2-3 weeks and it only require to restart to get fixed.
Also i'm not a big user of the phone so at the end of the day there is 70% battery left!

First of all, thank you for your input!
But what about Android 9 based ROMs like LOS16, Havoc-OS 2.8, Pixel Experience etc.? Wouldn't they be more stable based on the fact that Android 9 was already out (for quite some time) when K20 Pro was released? And also because the developers have simply had more time to iron out the issues?

I have basically tried every rom there is on this forum, and multiple vendors, roms later, i can suggest that EvolutionX, Pixel experience plus (pie are both pretty stable. But they have minor issues. Definitely daily driver material.
But! in my suggestion, if you could stick to a debloated MIUI. It would be hassle free.
Pros for using the stock rom.
Fingerprint sensor works faster
Doesn't break safetynet, so.. google pay support.
widevine L1 in other cases.
And most importantly, the camera functionality doesnt break

Thank you very much for your (somewhat unexpected) suggestion!
To be honest, I hadn't really considered debloating, but I will most certainly look into it. Are there some preferred debloating solutions out there?

Follow the steps in the Removing Bloatwares in Locked/Unlocked Bootloader part of the first post in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/redmi-k20-pro-firmware-10-3-8-0-9-6-13-t3939647
True, MIUI has way faster and better fingerprint recognition than all custom roms. Sadly I hate MIUI look and feel...
If you want to give MIUI a try, install the xiaomi eu ROM, which is pretty clean and without much preinstalled stuff.
Best is not to use the custom ROMs with ALL the features, since those ROMs are more laggy and buggy.
So if custom ROMs, try android 9 based. I will flash android 10 again only after 2-3 builds which use MIUI 11 firmware and vendor, since I do have a global K20 Pro/ Mi 9T Pro and don't want to lose DRM L1 or NFC by flashing IN or CN fw and vendor. Because most android 10 ROMs require MIUI 10 android 10 fw and vendor (and there is no global MIUI 10 android 10 fw & vendor)
So depends after all, how much you hate MIUI.
I flashed a custom ROM because of the following things
clean stock UI
no gapps
better everyday performance

So.. my process is..
1- unlock bootloader
2-flash recovery (orangefox or twrp)
3- boot into revovery
4-wipe system
5- flash vendor
6- flash rom (gapps if necessary)
7- wipe cache
8- reboot

I guess so.. and sorry brother.. i dont use telegram..
I'd suggest you stick to global vendor..
If it doesn't work, then try chinese..
Widevine is not an issue for me.. but you might stream HD content.. so.. look into it..
And i forgot to mention... Always format data before rebooting.. format data is different from wipe data.. keep that in mind..
You should stick to the process.. it should go flawlessly..
