Yes, it works.
I flashed Global MI in Global IN phone. When my phone was in android 9.
But this should work fine if you flash with properly.

You need to have unlocked bootloader. Then download MI flash tool and correct fastboot rom file from MI website.
To unlock bootloader visit: https://en.miui.com/unlock/
REMEMBER: While flashing fastboot rom select clean all. Do not select clean all and lock. This will keep the bootloader unlocked. It is safer to keep bootloader unlocked for first time, because if something goes wrong you can flash again. If fastboot rom is flashed properly then you may lock the bootloader by reflashing.

Thanks Man,
Finaly i flashed my Redmi 8 INDIAN version to International version.
I have unlocked the bootloader, than downloaded the *.tgz fastboot version. And flash the mobile as you tell me.
It's ok now.
One observation,
- i have renamed the directory extracted from *.tgz file to short name because the Miflash tool can't read it.
:good:

Any difference from the indian version?

Not sure about Indian Rom but I have been using Global Rom and have changed to Indonesian Rom recently to enable call recording. Global Rom uses Google Phone app which does not allow call recording whereas Indonesian Rom uses Xiaomi phone and messaging apps which has call recording option. There is no other difference at all in Global and Indonesian ROMs.

So I can relock my bootloader with Global Version ROM without brick?

While you flash using Mi flash tool there will be an option at bottom left panel "Clean all and lock", make sure that it is checked before you flash.. That's it. Lean back and enjoy. Or you can Just type one line in CMD " Fastboot oem relock", honestly, I haven't tried it yet, I used Mi flash tool.

[Q] Flashing global firmware on CN version?

Hey guys,
accidentally bought the cn version instead of the global mi8.
i just want to use custom roms on the mi8 anyways. can i flash the global firmware on it or will it brick then?
since i am not familiar with the device, what do you guys think?
i could send it back or keep it. are there any disadvantages for me using the cn version in europe (germany).
thx in advance
You must unlock bootloader first then flash any custom or global rom .

after unlocking bootloader, can i use the firmware from global rom or am i forced to use the cn version? will i risk a brick? hw should be the same or not? so both should be usable i guess.
After unlocking bootloader you can install and run global ROM without any issue but never ever re-lock the bootloader with global ROM installed on your CN Version otherwise it will (hard?)brick the device.

Go from Stable Rom EEA to Global Stable or Developer WITHOUT Unlocking Bootloader

Hi all. I've come up with a solution to install the Stable Global Rom WITHOUT unlocking the bootloader
My redmi note 7 is bought in the Peruvian physical store and came with the Stable Rom EEA without unlocking the Bootloader
1º Download and install on the Windows PC the XiaoMiTool V2 application from: https://www.xiaomitool.com/V2/latest?p=windows
2º On the phone activate the developer options and activate debugging by USB
3º Run the XiaoMiTool V2 app. When finished installing the drivers connect the phone. In the application select the option "My device works normally I want to mod it".
If this is the first time we connect the phone by ADB, we must unlock it and give permission.
4th When we detect the phone correctly we have to select the option to install a Rom Stock. There, in the list that is shown, you have to select the "Stable Global Rom". If we select directly the Rom Developer asks you to have the bootloader unlocked
5º Accept and let the program work. Follow the instructions given by the program. There is a point where it asks us to manually select a recovery options. The phone restarts several times.
We already have the Stable Global Rom installed on our phone. without unlocking the Bootloader.
hope it has been helpful

Hi. Great thread. Anyone can help me confirm if this works for the Redmi Note 8 Pro (Mediatek G90T)? I got EEA Rom to and it has a "older" ROM version than the Global Stable...

Yes, should be possible. Just download the Firmware package for your Device and flash it through the Mi Flash tool.
Before you flash though, make sure to download the Firmware according to your Device / Region. Also if you don't wanna lock the Bootloader, uncheck the "FLASH ALL AND LOCK" Option first.
IN is for Indian Devices
CN for Chinese
EEA for Europe
GLOBAL is basically "for the rest of the world"
Hope that helps

I guess you can only use this method if you bought a global phone that shipped with a global ROM (not CN ROM) from the outset?

This new rom is an EA Global so I think it is safe to flash only if you have the same base!

Question Just bought a Note 10 5G & have a interesting question

So I just got a Note 10 5G off of eBay....Looking at the MIUI Version & I am puzzled. It just updated to 13.0.4.0 SKSEUHG & I'm not finding SKSEUHG Versions anywhere....Someone have an idea other than it's obviously an EU Version? Is it a specific carrier phone that has been unlocked?

yes, it is a carrier phone. it is possibly branded as Hutchison Telecom if im sure
also, im pretty sure its impossible to get your hands on a carrier rom, as they come flashed by default with their bloatware installed and some tweaking they did, only on region roms (global, eea, indo, russian, taiwan and turkey) but not carrier roms
Hmmmm...That is about what I thought.....It has done 2 updates so far (came with 13.0.2.0 & now is 13.0.4.0), so it looks like I'm getting OTA. What would be a good path to change over to a generic EU or Global ROM? Or is that not a good idea?
Probably is a branded firmware. I suggest replace it with global or eu version. If u like miui dialer install indonesian. If u dont want unlock bootloader, u can install only eu firmware, because u have a branded eu

note that this will erase all of your data, so make a backup if you need
install MiFlashPro (attached)
now, download any EEA MIUI ROM of your preference (miui 13 or 12) from any website, you can try mifirm.net that downloads alot faster than any other website i know of
after downloading it, you must extract it to the dir C:\, or Mi Flash wont detect the ROM for some reason (atleast for me)
open up mi flash pro, click on the "Mi Flash" tab in the top, and install the drivers pop up
connect your phone to fastboot mode by turning it off, pressing VOL- & POWER buttons at the same time till you see a orange text displaying "FASTBOOT"
on mi flash, click "select", open up the dir C:\ and simply select the ROM folder
now, click refresh to detect the phone in fastboot, and simply clean "flash" besides it.
Thank You....Much simpler than the LG G8 I owned before (LOL)....you had to use QPST with Firehose to change a vendor phone......Take a look at this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/tutorial-crossflash-bypass-opid-mismatched-error.4345963/
Lots of fun (not)
And I would "assume" a Fastboot ROM instead of a Recovery ROM?

yes, fastboot
recovery ROM is only used to update your phone with the same ROM region from miui updater
