I just received my phone today and it came with unlocked bootloader and Russian global rom V9.5.14.0.OEARUFA.
Question is, can I download the updater ZIP file of Global Rom V9.5.13.0.OEAMIFA and use the updater app to flash instead of using Fastbook/Miflash Tools. Is this a safe way? Will it work? Thanks in advance!
Note : It is China Mi8 device.
I also wait for solution... Buy online and got russian rom and unlocked bootloader... What suitable twrp version for this rom because i scare bootloop will happen when install the unsuitable version... And does anyone here already try the miui pro rom from miuipro website.. does it good? Any feedback is appreciated..
The latest recovery-TWRP-3.2.3-0806 will do the trick.

Flashing with twrp is probably the safest way as mi flash you can accidentally re-lock your bootloader.
Since the OP phone is china mi8. It's compatible with all the rom in this forum (EU, global, etc) with unlock bootloader of course.
I do not wish to change my recovery to twrp. So it's the only way is to use miflash tools? No direct zip flash global from from updater app from phone ?

To my knowledge you can't change channel with updater app. With channel I mean Global stable, Global developer, Chinese stable, Chinese developer etc etc.
So global and global Russia can be used with updater app ? Is that correct?
But if can't, it will only show error and nothing will happen to y device right?

Magisk is probably tricking the firmware to see the bootloader is locked. For purposes of online banking and stuff? I believe bootloader is still actually unlocked.
Hello all,
I did some searching here on XDA and on the internet regarding the flashing but I was unable to find any definitive answer to this so maybe someone here can help me out, here goes:
As far as I'm aware, Xiaomi does not provide a source code for their drivers (firmware) which means we need to use precompiled binaries for specific android versions, downloadable for example here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k2...mware-xiaomi-mi-9t-pro-redmi-k20-pro-t3955317
What I don't exactly understand is how can one go about installing a custom ROM (e.g LineageOS) and drivers in case there is a difference between Android versions when flashing a ROM (e.g going from Android 9 based MIUI 10 to Android 10 based LineageOS 17)
Most of the how-to's I found on installing a custom ROM specify that I should update to MIUI 11 (Android 10) first before installing LineageOS 17 so the firmware is up to date and working but I would like to avoid this due to Xiaomi's anti-rollback "feature" (fastboot getvar anti) which will then prevent me from installing back MIUI 10 (in case I might want to roll back)
Does anyone know how/where is the firmware stored exactly? As I understand, the firmware is installed via TWRP therefore I believe it's stored somewhere on filesystem, do I need to flash the firmware/ROM in specific order when flashing a new ROM via TWRP (ROM first, then firmware)?
For now, I came up with these steps:
1. Unlock bootloader - already done
2. Install TWRP
3. Flash custom ROM (Android 10 / LineageOS 17)
4. Flash Firmware (Extracted from Android 10 / MIUI 11)
5. Wipe data/dalvik/etc. + install gapps/magisk/etc.
6. Reboot
Will this work?
Thanks a bunch!
our phone doesn't have anti-rollback. Source: xiaomi.eu
my guide: bit.do/raphaelguide
I'd advise updating the firmware of stock miui, so you are up-to-date normally. The firmware is located in the vendor. the vendor and firmware files are combined. (links in my guide as well.
Updating to an AOSP rom from miui is also in my guide.
Hello there, I have bought an Xiaomi Mi 9t pro in Germany 2 Days ago.
The guy who used it before had unlocked the Bootloader and installed the TWRP. This is working great and I've got no Problem with that.
He Also installed another ROM. In The beginning there was the Original EEA Rom. Now it is runnning with "MIUI 11 | V11.0.5.0QFKCNXM|(stable)".
He said this ROM is the original Global ROM from China and because of that the Phone identifys as Redmi K20 Pro. I've got no Problem with that, because I know These are the same phones. But my Question is: What is the difference between these two ROM's and does it make sense to use the ROM witch is installed already? Because actually i wanted to test the phone with the original ROM. And where can I find the actuall original ROM?
Thanks a bunch!

Your phone now has the Chinese ROM, not global.
The Chinese ROM is not so good for use outside of China.
You would be better using the latest EEA ROM, which you can download from here

This is a fastboot ROM and needs to be flashed in fastboot mode, not with TWRP.
There are plenty of guides here on flashing a fastboot ROM, just be careful not to re-lock the bootloader.
Thank you for the fast answer. I will try to install the original ROM as fast as i can find a good guide on how to install via fastboot .
Can you please tell me whats the difference in the methods of installing a ROM via fastboot or TWRP? Up to now I always worked with TWRP. But this is my first Xiaomi device.
And why the bootloader should be re-locked when I'm installing the ROM? And is there any problem with re-locking the bootloader?

Xiaomi release 2 ROMs for each version, a recovery ROM and a fastboot ROM.
The recovery ROM is a standard ROM that is flashed via recovery, i.e. TWRP. Fastboot ROMs are more for recovering a soft bricked phone. They include most of the phones partition images, not just the system image. When changing to a different region ROM, you need to flash a fastboot ROM, not the recovery ROM.
Flashing fastboot ROMs is normally done with the Mi Flash Tool. The tool defaults to flash and lock the bootloader. You need to manually change the flash option from the default to flash only option (called 'clean all' in the tool)
It is only possible to re-lock the bootloader when you are flashing a ROM that is for the original region of the phone, if you try and lock the bootloader when flashing a ROM for a different region, it will brick the phone.
Because you've bought the phone second hand, and the seller already lied about the Chinese ROM being global, then there is no guarantee that the phone is a genuine European model, so it is best to play safe and not re-lock the bootloader when flashing the EEA ROM.

Thank you for this great description. I will try top flash the european ROM this weekend. After everything works succesfull i will write here .
Only one more question.. flashing the original ROM with re-locking the Phone will deinstall TWRP and install an original bootloader?

So now I flashed it by fastboot and its running. I had to watch some videos an dread some sides to understand what to do to make the Mi Flash tool run. But all in all its not that complicated as i thought.
When I start the phone its still unlocked, but i think there is no TWRP anymore. Thats not that important for me now. But I'm missing some Features witch were in the chinese ROM already. For example the App drawer. I Thougt it would be normal to have one because up to now i only had Phones with it :/. I've read it will come with some extra updates, and i hope it will come soon.
Thank you for your help. I hope i will accustom myself to use the phone without the app drawer.
Hello,
I have bought a Mi 11 yesterday version M2011K2G,
I found out that the bootloader was unlocked on it, but when I check it has a global ROM installed already on it,
the thing is that it's not making any update, so I guess it's not an original ROM ?
I want to put back the original ROM and lock the bootloader back in order to have updates,
can you please help me on how I can do this without breaking the phone ?
or I'm I not getting the updates just because the bootloader is unlocked and if I lock it I will get them back ? I'm just scared if I lock it back the phone will break,
or you think I should install back the ROM and lock it back to get everything better ?
Thanks !
What version of ROM do you have?

Normally an unlocked bootloader has no affort to the update. How did you get notice about that? If your bl is really unlocked I would stay with that.
Are you maybe on latest version? Can you take a screen shot of settings - my device - All secs

I know it's unlocked cause I see the unlocked "padlock" when I restart the phone, other than this I don't have any idea of what modification could have been done to it since I'm used to use my phone the way they come with, thats why I want to get it back to stock ROM or get the updates to make sure it's all good
Here is the latest Rom for eea.
It's interesting that rkbeusf is nowhere to find.
Well unzip the fastboot file put the fastboot files from miui into it and try the installation without locking

if I use the Mi Flash and I don't lock it after flashing it, I won't get the upcoming updates will I ?
I mean, is there any way to lock it back ?
I kind of want to make the phone as it went out from factory
I never used mi flash, sorry.
My first step on new phones are always to unlock the bootloader so I can flash root and restore the apps with titanium.
And I got always updates through Ota.
I switched to xiaomi.eu rom, because it was faster with miui 12.5

thanks man, I will try install this ROM you gave me, I have noticed that when I make "download latest packages" it directly says "impossible to download..."
I wonder why it's doing this
Sorry if I misunderstood you, but you will have to scroll down until you see fastboot then a bit more to 'full rom' and click on the blue button
Edit:
Tested it right now and it works fine for me (download started)
Edit 2:
Seems to work with MI flash tool too:
Found on the mitool side:
Step 1: Download the correct Fastboot ROM on the Windows PC by double-checking the compatibility. Then extract and get the workable extensions on the PC (use the Rom above)
Step 2: installation bla bla
Step 3: too
Step 4: too
Step 5: Then attach the ROM file
Step 6: Switch Xiaomi device into the Fastboot mode. So turn off the device and simply take a long press and hold the keys of Volume Down and Power keys
Step 7: Then connect the device to the PC with a proper USB cable which is in the Fastboot mode
Step 8: Now you can enter the tool interface and check whether the device is connected
Step 9: Then select the most suitable flashing option from all three “Flash all”, “Flash all except storage” and “Flash all except data and storage”
Step 10: Hit flash from the top of the window and wait for several minutes
Step 11: Once the process is done you can reboot and finalize the process successfully.

thanks bro it worked, it now checks the updates and make them when they're available, my wife won't ask the divorce finally haha
one last question and I leave you,
my phone is a 12gb 256 (chinese) if I install that same ROM I installed, will I get autoupdates on it or that version can only update on it's chinese ROM ? any idea ?
For my understanding it will work too. The 12 GB ram is EU is not available but it's only additional ram and does not have an other rom.
... So if you can install and use your phone with that rom you will have no issues with updates

Be careful, don't lock bootloader with a global or EEA ROM on CN hardware, you will brick your phone.
Take care when using Miflash with CN flashed to global. Now you are on production software, best to stay there unless you want to install custom ROMs. OTAs should work now. 12.5.1.0 is the latest for EEA.

Isn´t all Mi 11 CN = China hardware ? I think it is safe to relock bootloader if you are on original ROM. Do you mix hardware and rom with each other.

You don't need to open the bootloader to get rid of the Vodafone ROM.
Just use the XiaoMiTool, follow the instructions and flash the Global or EEA ROM.

False, flash EEA Branded ROM EU?? to EUXM (Global EEA) is like flash a ROM to an another Canal (EEA / CH / GLOBAL / TW etc...), ROM don't have the same signature so it's a mandatory to unlock bootloader for flash / erase ROM to EEA Global.
After that, yes you can flash full EEA rom/update directly from the system.

Probably you missed the fact that the EU rom is a custom ROM and so not official. The only official ROM you can install is the one your phone come preinstalled with. All the others official or not, are not flashable without unlocking your bootloader

No... EU ROM is the Global EEA MIUI Genuine, you talked about Xiaomi.eu rom (Custom MIUI).
You know here a lot of people have some good knowledge.
And you can upgrade without unlock bootloader when it's the same ROM/Country (EEA/TW/MIX,CH etc).
In this exemple @Hunteres can't flash the lastest EEA ROM 12.5.4.0.RKBEUXM under system (on the fly) because he have a vodafone EEA ROM 12.X.X.X.RKBEUVD (phone with custom vendor partition, custom settings and pre-installed apps from carrier)

Hi.
Yeah that absolutely fine with stock EU with mi flash. The bootloader can be locked also on the new stock ROM. I think the only way you will brick is if you accidentally enable anti-rollback and relock. But yeah I done the same thing reflashing over VF ****ty rom and relocking.

Good day guys, I bought a Motorola Edge S Pro from AliExpress, and it came with a modified custom Global ROM. The device was already unlocked.
Now the problem I have been having is that the phone does not receive OTA updates, and Security Patch is July 2021. I dont have any prominent issues with the phone, but I would like to get Android 12 when it is released on the phone.
Can I just flash the Chinese stock ROM of Android 12 when it comes out? Which tools can I use for this?
Hi friend,
With the bootloader already unlocked, you can use MotoFlashPro tool to change device ROMs. I used it on my S Pro from aliexpress and it worked perfectly to install a Global ROM.
The annoying part is having to do manual updates whenever available, through the telegram channel.
I'm thinking about testing the Chinese ROM with GApps installed, to receive updates via OTA.
My fear is that I won't receive updates once the bootloader is unlocked, even with Chinese ROM.

Hi guys,
I used the mixed rom (keep stock modem, flash retail system) for Edge S Pro. My phone software is now Retail with CMCC modem.
All of my mixed rom phones (X Style, Z2 Force and also Edge S Pro) did not receive OTA. I had to flash rom manually all the time.

Hi, I have the same device from aliexpress. Will moto flash erase all my data like it was a clean install or would allow to get only the updates?

If you use flashfile.xml, full wipe. If you use servicefile.xml, no wipe.
Hi! I just received the Moto Edge 20 pro from AliExpress. Bootloader is still locked and running China ROM. I installed Google play services but the challenge I'm having is syncing my contacts. I can see to access them. Every other thing works fine. Can anyone assist?

You need to uninstall the Chinese cloud sync apps. And the rest of the Chinese applications as well. You can use these instructions (read with a translator) https://4pda.to/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=1029455&view=findpost&p=110606497

Hi friend,
With the bootloader already unlocked, you can use MotoFlashPro tool to change device ROMs. I used it on my S Pro from aliexpress and it worked perfectly to install a Global ROM.
The annoying part is having to do manual updates whenever available, through the telegram channel.
I'm thinking about testing the Chinese ROM with GApps installed, to receive updates via OTA.
My fear is that I won't receive updates once the bootloader is unlocked, even with Chinese ROM.

You can download any Motorola Global ROM from this website: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto
More specifically for the model in question: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/pstar/official/
To remove the warning message on device boot, you need to install the original or global Rom and then lock the bootloader.
Use the fastboot flashing lock command to lock
Be careful when performing these procedures, here is just a summary of what should be done. I suggest you look for some videos on youtube or other threads first.

Boy this is dangerous not to install a global version and then lock the bootload on a roo that is not really original to the device I heard that it unlocks and clicks the global and locks the bootload ends up killing the device and worse there is no way to unlock it anymore
