Hi experts. I have bought mi 6 from China which came with a Chinese ROM, to which I have now installed GooglePlay somehow. I now want to install the global ROM on it but there seems to be a problem. I have tried installing the available global ROM via the updater app on the phone (as mentioned on the website) but it won't allow me because the global ROM version is older than the present Chinese ROM running on my phone:
(GLOBAL: miui_MI6Global_V8.2.2.0.NCAMIEC_7f3f8ad7c8_7.1)
(Chinese: miui_MI6_V8.2.27.0.NCACNEC_e725f9829f_7.1)
Is there any way to install the global ROM without unlocking the phone? Fastboot ROM also requires unlocking the phone. I seriously don't want to unlock it...
Experts please advice what should I do?
Try using the EDL mode via the EDL cable. It should work on Mi series

It just arrived today with play store installed and no Chinese stuff.
redmi note 3 pro 32gb version snapdragon
Would love it if was official for the updates
ANDROID VERSION
5.1..1 LMY47V
MIUI Version
MIUI Global 7.9 stable 7.91.8.0(LHOMICL)
It's definitely unofficial ROM flashed by the reseller.
Flash Global Stable ROM using edl mode.
Sent from my kenzo using XDA-Developers mobile app
I had 7.1.99.99 on mine, which is also a vendor ROM. Managed to install Global Stable 7.2.1.8, then got an OTA update to 7.2.3.0, but I can't switch to Global Dev, nor to China Stable or China Dev.
I also unlocked the bootloader when I installed 7.1.8.0, but now it seems to be locked again. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

You cant flash China Dev/Stable because they are different from global stable...you could flash from global stable to global dev and vice versa...but make sure take backup and then factory reset and then flash the rom..Do at your own risk you can dload from http://en.miui.com/download-301.html make sure dload correct version
I don't see why I wouldn't be able. Still, I can't flash the global dev version, either. Why would that be?
How do I flash using edl mode?
I installed adb and turned on USB debugging.
I ran the adb reboot edl and my phone reset and a driver was installed. I feel like I am on the right track, but I don't know what the next step is.
dear all.
I have Indian Redmi Note 3 ( Snapdragon version, 3 gb 32GB), I am on stock MIUI Global StableVersion 7.2.5.0(LHOMIDA) . I want to flash Global Developer ROM on this .
I have a few queries
Q.1- Can I directly flash global developer ROM through Updater App without any boot loader unlocked issue or should I unlock the boot loader first?
Q.2 How can I flash Chinese ROM? The reason behind this is that Chinese version supports CDMA data facility which is missing in my global stable version at present I am using TATA cdma SIM in SIM slot 1, wherein voice call and sms works without any problem but data is not working probably because MEID is missing in global ROM ,so i guess that Chinese ROM will solve this issue. )
kindly help
warm regards

With regards to your first query..You should go with the official way of unlocking bootloader thought it takes time ..some people who did the unofficial unlocking method ended up bricking their phones..I unlocked it officially then flashed twrp and flashed global dev rom
@vish9180- thanks mate. Is it necessary to unlock it?
Happy to help..It is...I didn't want to run the risk of bricking it like the other guys...so I went the official route...took me 4 days ..since I'm some what active on miui forum..participate in miui forum and they'll clear your unlock request faster.
I am not able to use wifi after trying to upgrade from global to developer rom please help me
Note i was unsuccessful to go on devoper rom with mi global rom yet but wifi stop working
Hi,
I can't find answer regarding updating my miui OS to latest available.
I bought the Chinese version(package is written in Chinese) and the seller told me to not update via OTA else my phone will get bricked.
My question is what rom is suitable for the Chinese version?
Attaching my phone info.
Thanks a lot

Nope, you do not.
Device supports any upgrade from any official version, it happens that some sellers proceeded with a method specifically with the chinese version to flash a called "fake" rom onto it, for this reason it crashes trying to update via OTA. Don´t confuse; it supports any complete upgrade flashing entire rom through MiFlash tool or through recovery but not some OTAs due to bootloader restrictions.
What the user is telling you is if you unlock bootloader and install twrp you can install more easily any rom onto it.
But if you don´t want to root by now you can flash by i.e. this version that it seems to be the latest http://en.miui.com/thread-3007347-1-1.html it should happen that MiFlash tool doesn´t work (I guess only works with unlocked bootloader) then you have to try version for recovery, don´t forget to enable USB debugging and just in case OEM unlock features in developer options. If this doesn´t result then you have to search for MiPhone flash tool to flash in edl mode.
Before go further do a backup an bind atleast an account in your device to Xiaomi servers to have a plan B.
Hello everyone i've been looking for the last few days on the internet about the way xiaomi devices can be updated manually. I found out that phones with carrier specific roms (like my mi 8) do not verify pure global roms via recovery method. My questions is if there is any work around to flash via recovery a global rom "mixm" to a global but carrier specific rom "itti", because i don't want to unlock this phone and go with the fastboot method.
Thank you in advance
can i flash a global Rom to a chinese device?
Heard that xiaomi is going to block that?
Since im in China it would be a lot cheaper to buy it here
The only option i see viable is: open bootloader, install twrp, install miui.eu
