Hello everyone, my first post here, i wanted to ask a few questions about k20 pro.
I have ordered a redmi k20 pro with "global rom" from aliexpress, but this rom its not what it seems like. Also i think the phone should be unlocked when i get it. My questions were:
1.Is it safe to OTA update this "Global Rom" because i read somewhere that it might brick the phone when the official Rom comes?
2.Can i roll back to the Chinese Rom that the phone came from the box before the seller flashed this Global Rom?
3.Because the bootloader might be unlocked, in order to flash a new rom i need to lock and unlock it again or the phone might hard brick, is there any other way i could do it?
Thanks in advance.

Now that there are official global ROMs you will probably get an official global ROM installed. If it is an official ROM then OTA will work OK.
If it's not an official ROM then OTA checks will never tell you there's an update.
Yes you can flash an official Chinese ROM.
You don't need to lock the bootloader to flash other ROMs.
If you want to flash an official ROM from another region, or if you've made a mess of things and want to restore to factory condition, then you will need to flash an official fastboot ROM. When you do this with the Mi Flash Tool the default option will also lock the bootloader. What you really should do is ALWAYS change the flash option to 'clean all'. This way you'll never lock the bootloader.
If you flash a ROM from a different region to the phone and lock the bootloader you will brick the phone. If you haven't applied to unlock the phone yourself then you cannot unlock the bootloader to reinstall a ROM, in this case you have hard bricked the phone.
Some owners have chosen to lock the bootloader deliberately, so that they can unlock it with their own Mi account immediately after. The only reason they do this is to allow them to unlock and restore their phone if they accidentally lock the bootloader.
If you are careful and make sure you change the flash option every time you flash with the Mi Flash Tool, then it isn't necessary to lock the bootloader.

I asked the question about locking and unlocking the bootloader because of this https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/redmi-k20-pro-firmware-10-3-8-0-9-6-13-t3939647
So what im understanding from your reply is that if my phone is unlocked i can flash xiaomi.eu rom easily without locking and unlocking the bootloader first,
Also at the phone page at Aliexpress the seller states that you can get Ota updates so ill wait and see about that,
So what do you think should i stay with the Global ROm the phone comes or should i flash xiaomi.eu rom.
Thanks a lot for the reply.

Yes, you can flash TWRP then a xiaomi.eu ROM without any issues.
If you get into serious trouble the simplest way to recover is flash an official fastboot ROM. However you just have to be careful and make sure you change the flash option. It is when people haven't been careful and accidentally left the lock option set that they've got into the trouble seen in that and many other posts. If you know what you are doing, then you can extract various image files from a fastboot ROM and flash them manually. This way you can avoid the Mi Flash Tool altogether.
Most of the good sellers will be flashing the official global ROM now, so it will be true that OTA works.
As for what ROM, I'm the wrong person to ask. I avoid MIUI and been using custom ROMs since the day I could unlock the bootloader (I bought mine locked and with the Chinese ROM). Personally if I could only have a version of MIUI then I'd choose the xiaomi.eu version.

Well i bought the phone on 16/08 before the mi 9t pro was officially released thats why im a bit sceptic about that,
Plus its going to be really hard for me too because this will be my first time ever flashing a rom on a phone so i definitely dont know what im doing

Hi! I'm interested on buying a Redmi K20 Pro (Chinese variant since it's the cheapest one), but I would like to receive a phone with locked bootloader since I prefer not to take the risk of getting a phone with unlocked BL because it might bring me some problems if it's still bound to the original owner/seller Mi account's. Do you have any idea/advice? I've been reading A LOT, and now I'm pretty conviced that the Chinese version with official chinese ROM is the best choice if I'm going to buy the Redmi K20 Pro.
Thanks for your help

I have two Mi T2 Pro... one came with Global ROM and one with the EU ROM. I wish to bring both to EU ROM and I how the risk about relocking the bootloader and I will be extra careful to not do it, but just as an information: if I flash the EU ROM on the Global phone and lock the bootloader will it hard brick?

I decided the same thing. If you are confident about flashing ROMs then it's still probably the best option. The downside is waiting a week to unlock it.
Most AliExpress sellers give you the option to buy a Chinese phone with either the original Chinese ROM or with a global ROM. If you choose the Chinese ROM it should come factory sealed. If a seller doesn't advertise both options, then you can leave a note when you order to tell them you want it with the Chinese ROM and still factory sealed.
If you prefer not to flash ROMs and would like to stay on a stock ROM, then the global version of the Mi 9T Pro is starting to show on a few sites. This is not the European model. It gives up to 8/256GB and so far it is released in Hong Kong. The price is much less than the European prices. If you think this would be better for you, then wait a while for it to become more widely available, I've not seen any AliExpress sellers offer this one yet.

If the phone is not a European model but is a global model, then yes it would probably brick the phone. So far I've not heard of anyone doing this, so I can only guess that it would hard brick. This has happened when people have flashed the Chinese ROM on an Indian phone and also flashing an Indian ROM on a Chinese phone. So far, until someone accidentally does this, we can only assume the same thing will happen when flashing the European ROM on a global phone.

Thanks for your answer! Have you bought your phone from AliExpress? Or from any other store? I've been searching but I can't find a seller offering the Chinese ROM option. Buying a 9T Pro would be just perfect but it's around 50 bucks more expensive than the K20, or have you seen a good price? I'm looking for the 8/128 version it's around $400 (redmi K20 Pro) but for the mi 9T Pro I've found for $450 Do you know why? I know that it supports an extra baseband but it really worth buying the 9T Pro instead the K20 Pro? I can't tell any significant different between them.

I bought mine from AliExpress. Most of the big sellers there offer the option of global or Chinese ROM.
A link to one of the main Xiaomi sellers.

Thanks for the link! I can't believe that I could not find anything (searching on Aliexpress is a little bit difficult) btw the price is better than the ones that I've found here following other links. Sorry if I'm asking a lot but could you tell me if it's better buying the 9T Pro instead? I will suppose any advantage from the K20 Pro besides the baseband? I'm still wondering why it's more expensive than the K20 Pro. You've mentioned that there are some sellers offering the 9T pro and it's cheaper than the European version. I would be really interested if it's on my budget ($400 max).
Thanks again.

eGlobalCentral are selling the global (Hong Kong from what I can tell) version. You're talking dollars so I'll guess you're in the US. For some reason the US site is a bit more expensive than the UK site. But both are quite a bit more expensive than the K20 Pro on AliExpress.
Once the global version is more readily available it might become more comparable in price. Maybe the AliExpress sellers will get hold of it soon. Goldway is a Hong Kong based seller on AliExpress so maybe they'll start selling it cheaper.

Oh, got it. Thank you, I will search for that store, And no, I'm not from the US but it's the simplest way for me to refer to money (long story, lol). So I think I will have to choose the K20 if I want to keep my budget, my only concern was, will I be missing something special/important buying K20 Pro instead 9T Pro? I don't mind flashing ROMs so I'm ok with that. If the hardware is the same I will be ok with that. The link that you provided me before, is from a UK store? Because the price is better than the ones that I've found on the US site (I think so, searching on AliExpress is kinda confusing to me).

Hardware both phones are identical. The only difference is that the Mi 9T Pro has a few more LTE bands unlocked. So you need to make sure that you won't need the extra bands.
The AliExpress store is Chinese. If you pay for the DHL shipping they guarantee no import duty sending to the EU/UK.

That's what I was thinking but I preferred to confirm, and what about software matter? I mean will both phones have the same software/ROM development? or will it be different? I'm almost sure that the better choice for me (for the moment) is buying the K20 Pro instead the 9T Pro. The extra bands that the 9T Pro offers does not suppose any benefit to me here in my country.
Again thanks, you are so helpful.
Question guys, I'm also looking at buying on Ali. If I buy the one with the chinese rom, will it be as easy to switch to global like previous mi devices?
Or are there any additional requirements?
Thanks in advance!

Yes.
Wait 7 days for the bootloader unlock wait time.
Then flash an official fastboot ROM from a different region.
Just make sure you change the Mi Flash Tool flash option to 'flash all'
Good to go.

Thanks for the feedback!
If I remember correctly, I waited about 36-72 hrs before. Some mods and beta testers say, status in forum affects it, but it's a shame they closed the forum in favor of the mi community. But as long as it can be unlocked, that's fine I guess.
Thanks again! ???
This thread was really good, now i understand why my global phone came unlocked... I definitely want to lock and unlock my bootloader to get my device associated to my mi account (and prevent a bricked phone) . Does anybody know how is the right way to do this?

Download the official fastboot ROM for your phone. I assume it's a Chinese K20 Pro, so make sure it's a Chinese ROM.
Flash the ROM with the Mi Flash Tool and leave the flash option as 'clean all and lock'.
You must make sure that the ROM is for the same region as the phone before doing this.
After doing this follow the standard unlock process.

I pre-ordered my OnePlus 10 Pro from China already.

Would we be able to unlock the bootloader in the 10 Pro assuming it will follow suit as the 9 Pro?

I did "fastboot OEM unlock" and got an error, so I did "fastboot flashing unlock" and it unlocked. I also had to use "adb reboot bootloader" to get to fastboot, the buttons kept sending me to recovery. If this is a change, it's new, but not a big deal I guess.

Yes we'll probably have to wait for the global launch, if we're very lucky we *might* get a leaked build shortly before, but it's going to be the new "Unified OS" so they'll probably be keeping all test builds and information really tight, so it's unlikely. I'll probably be waiting for the global launch regardless.
Hi all,
Will it be possible to install the global rom on oneplus 10 pro (Chinese version) when comes, without opening the bootloader or is it required in any case?
That's my question too..
Anyone has a tutorial on how to unlock the bootloader?
Just got my phone today.

Normally, yes. You can install it via local upgrade. You probably won't be able to use the Local Upgrade apk found on apk mirror though. Of course we won't know for sure until it's available, but I can't see it needing an unlocked bootloader.

It's basically the same as any OnePlus, just check out YouTube for a 8 or 9 series tutorial.
Two things to keep in mind -
I had to "adb reboot bootloader" to get to fastboot
"Fastboot OEM unlock" gave an error, but "fastboot flashing unlock" unlocked no problem.

There should be no problem installing once it's available, but we won't know for sure until it is. We should even be able to install via local upgrade.

Hey waldoud, there are many threads on the internet about how to relock the bootloader . If you face network problems try reset to factory settings
If not try the indian rom.
Hi everyone. i searched the forum but did not find any suitable information, i hope i did not miss anything.
I have a Nokia 8, Model: TA-1004 (Dual SIM), running the latest known stock update to me Android 9 00WW_5_15G_SP04.
I have some company SW on the phone which starts to make a fuzz about the to old Android version (9) so i have to either buy a new phone or update the current one. Problem is that my company does not allow any rooted devices. Is there any chance to update it to a newer version of Android without root?
Does anybody know? The phone is otherwise great and it would be a bugger having to buy a new one just because of this.
Best regards and thanks a bunch for any possible help here.

You can put Android 12 Pixel Experience on it, default is unrooted. But ofcourse you need to unlock the bootloader.
Thanks for your reply. Now that sounds interesting. I will have to check how that is done. Have not done that before.
Have you got a link for that rom somewhere?
Regards
Basicly all is covered here: https://wiki.pixelexperience.org/devices/NB1/install/
Nokia Bootloader Unlock Took doesn't work anymore but you can still unlock using this guide: https://www.techmesto.com/guide-unlock-bootloader-nokia-android-phones/
After bootloader unlock you can install T-Virus, it includes PixelExperience Android 12, then just take OTA to latest version.
