Which one do you think is better between the two? If my ROM before was QJOEUXM and I flashed the QJOMIXM ROM in my RN9, would it make that much difference?
The clue is in the question
One is for devices sold into European markets, the other for Global (non EU, non Chinese) markets
Mine came with the EU version of MIUI 11 - I couldn't install the Global (non EU) version of MIUI 12, but the EU version installed fine. Phones bought in different regions usually have different regional update channels and do it is here
I don't imagine there would be any meaningful difference at all between the versions, but with only one MIUI device I can't compare. Unless you've rooted your phone I'd expect you will only be able to install the one intended for your region
Correct me if I'm wrong, people!
EU devices can NFC

Check your model number
Mine is M2003J15SG
It's a 4/128gb version, was bought within the EU, runs EU ROMs and has NFC
Pretty sure, as I said above, that the global and Chinese phones have different model numbers and different specs (some versions having no NFC chip) running different stock firmware

Hi, How can I tell if a Mi8 advertised as Global is genuine Global? Any trustworthy sellers to recommend?

Yep can confirm the box must contain a red (Global Version marking)
i noticed my box is in chinese. but i had a global rom. so this is not a genuine global device ?
what is the downside of this ?

You most likey have a genuine device, but it's a Chinese handset with the global rom on it.
Only downside is you will NOT be able to relock the bootloader. It must stay unlocked. This might mean your Google pay won't work. Some apps will also not install cause of this (but you work around this by installing apk direct instead of through Google store). For most people, you won't even notice. You can still update through OTA without issues and will continue to get updates.
I bought mine in Hong Kong from an established high street retail chain, being sold to locals for use in HK (which is an international market, and so would use Google). English language box, no red stickers, Global rom. And Google pay works fine, so I assume it is a Global model. There is a model number on the box: M1803E1A but they seem to use that for both global and China versions. As far as I can tell it’s not possible to see from the box alone whether the version you have is Global or a Chinese version flashed with a Global rom. I think you’re very reliant on the retailer having sourced it properly and not grey importing it from China.
Chaina version always runs Global Rom with ulocked bootloader. if you run Global Rom on your Mi8, and your bootloader is locked, then you probably have a real Global version of Mi8.
i have a chinese handset with global rom and unlocket bootloader.just came a miui 10 update can i do it without any problems??
is there any difference between these two apart from ROM? Will chinese k20 pro NFC work when I flash a custom rom?
asking because will buy one soon, k20 is cheaper but I've seen on gsmarena that k20pro nfc works only in china and that's basically the only thing that would force me to choose it over 9tpro

networks in every country that I've been so far (europe/scandinavia) work well on redmi note 3 which has less band support, should be fine, no?
there's that `NFC (china only)` thing in K20 column, will I be able to use it in europe after flashing a custom rom?

You can use it with the Chinese ROM. Not sure where this has come from that it only works in China. The issue is more about tap to pay apps don't work on the Chinese ROM. I know GPay doesn't play with Chinese MIUI, but not sure what else doesn't.
Once you've installed a custom ROM, then it's irrelevant (obviously excluding Indian models) which version of the phone you have. Any fixes required to get financial and tap to pay apps will work on all models with NFC hardware.

K20 Pro is released in China and India. Indian model, despite sharing the name, doesn't have NFC.
K20 PRO / Mi9T PRO ROM
I have mine ( K20 PRO ) with Mi9T PRO Global ROM. Everything works fine in, NFC works too.
Is the global Mi 9T Pro with dual band GPS?

Yes.. both official stable global and eea.
Be aware of the differences between the Chinese K20Pro and the Indian.
Chinese: no band 20, no widevine L1 after flashing non stock rom
Indian: no NFC, no band 20, no widevine L1 after flashing non stock rom.
Also there are hardware differences between the K20Pro and the 9T Pro.
Read very well all topics around flashing forward and back from stock to different Rom's and disregarding some don'ts put many here with a bricked or semi-bricked phone!!!

The only known hardware difference between all models is that the Indian model does not have the NFC coil. Otherwise they are identical.

No hardware/software wise band 20 is not there and it is a Qualcomm firmware thingy that blocked band 20 for all K20(Pro).
You can flash any Rom that you want but on as well the Indian as the Chinese K20(Pro) band 20 is not available.

Yes, but that is firmware, like your say. Physical hardware is the same, it's the firmware (software) controlling it that is different.
I want to buy 9T PRO 6/128 version from Wondamobile and it comes with Global ROM. Sicne I live in EU and would like to know if you can flash Global ROM to EAA ROM without need to unlock bootloader?

No.
However, why would you want to? In use, there is no noticeable difference between EU and global versions of MIUI for this phone.
You may actually get a European phone with European ROM. Places like Wondamobile get the phones from wherever is cheapest at the time, so it might be a global phone from Hong Kong or it could be a European phone. Whichever one you will get, if you intend to stay with official MIUI, then just live with whatever it has, as you'll not see any difference.

As the OP is in the EU, they might want to use the NFC, so the Indian ROM would be useless.
As title says ,
i have Mi11 China version and it supports CDMA on GSMARENA.com , and i want to flash other roms Global or EU still not sure ,
but flashing others roms will effect my phone on SIM side ? i really need CDMA band for my home country . and on GSMARENA.com only China Version have it .
Could anyone please elaborate .
China version has diffrend bands that eu version (for example no 5G on PlusGSM in Poland on china version).
It isnt rom dependent, it depend on phone version - not the same is china and global
As the title state, I'm wondering which variant is TKFEUXM 14.0.2.0; someone say Global, other says EEA (European); from which I found on Google, seems that "EU" in the name suggests EEA.
T - Android Version
KF - Device Code
EU - Region Code
XM - Sim Lock (carrier)
->
Tiramisu
Redmi Note 10 Pro
EU variant
Unlocked
It is confusing to me.
I purchased the phone (sweet) in the UK from mi/com/uk that had MIUI Global 12.5.8
12.5.8.0(RKFEUXM) but the ADB and Device Info HW app were reporting sweet_eea
adb devices -l
List of devices attached
[...] device usb:3-3 product:sweet_eea model:M2101K6G

The first update it received was 13.0.17.SKFEUXM so EU again.
Recently I installed Lineage 20 custom ROM that was calling to flash firmware V14.0.1.0.TKFMIXM which is the Global version.
All was good until I discovered that this newly installed system shows V14.0.2.0.TKFEUXM
Does the V14.0.1 Global firmware include V14.0.2 EU firmware?
Are there any differences between EU and Global firmware?
Can those be flashed like for like?
Is my device a global or EEA device?
It is all not clear. Phone purchased in the UK, with global software and EU firmware?
What is going on here?
Any clarification and advice appreciated.
