Hi, I'm from Philippines and am considering buying this phone. I've already checked the bands and it actually has the same ones with my current phone so I think the phone will work just fine?
Also, regarding ROMS, I'd rather not have MIUI flashing ads at me (from what I see on the internet, this will be my first Xiaomi phone) so is it fine if I switch to LineageOS? It's been a while since I've done some rooting/flashing but I still remember how. If the Mi 9T Pro releases in the future, can I install some ROMS/mods which was made with that to this phone? Thanks!
At least in India, the K20 Pro is not showing any ads. It could be the same everywhere. Also, Mi 9T pro is the same as K20 Pro in an another region, so there should be no problems in using the ROMs.
Guys, are all ROMs applicable to all versions (Indian and Chinese)? Disregarding NFC since I don't use it anyway. Say I buy a Chinese version then flash a custom rom for Indian version, will everything work?
Hi everyone, my little doubt is this in heading above. So can i flash Indian K20 pro rom on my Mi 9T pro using Mi flash tool?, if yes, will the ABOUT PHONE read K20 Pro or Mi 9T Pro?

Yes you can flash the Indian ROM, just make sure you change the flash option to 'clean all' in the Mi Flash Tool. If you forget to do this you will brick the phone.
I believe that your phone will show K20 Pro in the About Phone section, after flashing.

Thanks, only CLEAN ALL and i should make sure the LOCK isn't ticked if my bootloader is unlocked right?

Why would you want to do that?
You gain nothing that I am aware of and lose NFC.

You gain MIUI dialer app which has call recording. Plus POCO launcher as standard, with its app drawer.
So if you never need NFC there's reasons for choosing the Indian ROM, if you want to stay on official MIUI.

Fair call. I forgot the global rom doesn't have the miui dialer. It is the reason why I am still on my original china rom and have not flashed the global one yet.
Hi guys,
I'm a Mi 9T Pro user and want to get rid of google dialer & messages too. I am about to unlock my phone and flash the Indian ROM.
I wonder what is the lastest build of Indian ROM and where I can get it safely?
since nfc is blocked in indian varient of k20 pro
anyone have any luck enabling it in custom rom or miui chinese or xiaomi .eu rom?

For the second time answering this today. There is no NFC hardware in the Indian phones.
it cant be enabled as it is physically missing the NFC coil
Hi,
I am planning to buy the Mi 11 Ultra but I am not sure which version to get.
Since my provider (Telekom Germany) uses a 4G frequency the Chinese version does not support I could only take the global hardware version.
But as far as I have read on this forum an remember from my Mi 9 back in the days there are two different firmware versions. The normal Global and the EEA (European) version.
On my Mi 9, I remember that the Global firmware got updates faster and had a few more features than the EEA one.
Since I use some banking apps which require a passed Safetynet check I would like to avoid unlocking the bootloader to switch to the global firmware.
Has anyone already some information on which version to get and if there are differences when it comes to 5G Dynamic Spectrum Sharing support? Either I could easily order the EEA one directly from Xiaomi Germany once it is available or would have to import the Global version.
Thanks in advance for your help and recommendations.

Simply, there is no EEA version of mi 11 ultra as stock, EEA firmware is not official firmware to be released out of the box and it extracted from Chinese version.
I had your thoughts as well until someone corrected me.

No, I think you are confusing EEA with EU.
EEA is an official ROM, but does appear to just be a later global version.
This is the official firmware list: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/star/
Europe is the EEA version.

Are you sure you do not mix up the xiaomi.eu ROM (which is a rather unofficial firmware based on the official China ROM) with the official EEA firmware, which is also listed on the official firmware list for the Mi 11 Ultra here in the forum?

I'm on Vodafone Germany with a CN Mi11U which is working nice and fine, not sure which 4G bands Telekom uses, though.
If I look at the specs the CN version actually supports more bands than the EU version with the exception of B32 and B66 which is EU only....

The CN Version should in general also work fine for Telekom Germany even though they plan to use B32 to increase the download speed in some areas.
But I am also not really sure how the 5G Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS) compatibility of the CN Version is since it lacks some 5G frequencies (like 900Mhz) used as anchor bands for 5G by the German Telekom. Especially since my coverage at home is 5G with 900Mhz as anchor band I do not want to risk getting the CN version.
Hi, so Antoine got an answer ? Xiaomi finally released the 11 Ultra in Europe with EEA firmware, so witch one to buy of GLOBAL or Europe model ? What's the difference between these two models ?
EEA is likely to be at standard price, whereas Global can be picked up for a lot less (when it's in stock)

Since the hardware is the same on all of them, why not order Chinese model, which will cost less, imiort it and unlock it 9unless it is unlocked already and flash it with either the EEA or Global rom?

I tried global rom and eea rom and eu rom on my device.
1)eea rom: I did not like photo quality and colours of eea rom.Especially in reverse light, white shadows in dark areas. Because good camera is a must this is not an option for me. So decided to choose between global or eu
2) I tried eu rom, i liked double tap to wake,sleep, ram usage indicator,call recording etc but did not like call sound quality(worse than global rom), bluetooth sound quality (worse than global rom), randomly freeze clicking some applications(worse than global rom etc.) , swipe to turn off etc. It is clean but extremely clean, i could not find some basic stuff like clockwatch etc
3)I tried global rom, i liked its smoothness (better than eu),i liked Camera(better than eea, same with eu), i liked bluetotoh sound quality(better than eu), i disliked no recording calls option, double tap to wake on home screen not working
As a result i decided to use global rom because camera quality,bluetooth audio quality, call sound quality,smoothness are crucial things for me.
I turned of all updates because any of the devices bought before with xiaomi brand was messed up by software updates, elder mi phone,robot vacuum cleaner etc

Is there a reason you need to use the default launcher? If it's about gestures, then with root you can use a mod for fixing issues on 3rd party launcher
