Is there any solution to flash global rom in chinese without unlocking bootloader?thinks
The only way is testing points.
Not at the time, unfortunately.

The official bootloader unlock guide here http://en.miui.com/thread-202290-1-1.html states that "If you're using Redmi Note 3 Qualcomm version or Mi 5, you can unlock on MIUI Global Stable ROM"
1- Did anybody succeed in doing so?
2- After unlocking the official way, can I still flash the latest global stable? (assuming that point 1 is not possible and I have to flash the china dev) I read warnings everywhere not to do so to avoid boot loop, is this warning valid even when unblocked through the official way?
3- If I flash the latest global, will my bootloader get locked again?
I would like to unlock my bootloader to prepare for CM13 and in the meantime I want to keep running the global stable ROM.
Many thanks

I'm on Redmi Note 3 Qualcomm.
1 - For me, it only worked with the Global Dev ROM. You can switch from Global Stable without erasing any data though. I had the usual "never works on the first try"-stuff though, so I tried a lot of things and I can't say if being on Global Stable was one of the main issues.
2 - I read similar things, but also that you can OTA update without any problems when you are officially unlocked. I think the posts warning of bootloops concern the unofficial unlock only and it will happen if you forget to delete emmc_appsboot.mbn before flashing an official ROM.
3 - Shouldn't happen. Haven't tried it yet, but what would be the point of Xiaomi locking the bootloader again, just because you changed ROM versions.
So, #2 and #3 is guess work on my site. Hope someone else can chime in and give definitive answers. As of #1, hope it helps to know that Global Dev works fine. Or was there any reason you wanted to stay on Global Stable?
Hi, I have question. I want buy note 5 636sd.
I read a lot about anti downgrade.
One question, it is possible after unlock bootloader downgrade via fastboot rom?
I think they will fix that soon, for now you can unlock your bootloader flash twrp and then use miuipro, masik, xiaomi eu miui10 roms those all better than stock miuis. So you will not hang to anti rollback
Don't forget to ask seller if device is miui 9 or 10.
Hi, im on 9.5 global. I want to upgrade to miui 10 global dev (without unlocking bootloader). It will be problem later with unlock bootloader and install xiaomi eu? (anti rollback policy?)

Fastboot method is for you, and there is no need to worry about ARB, and after unlocking bootloader you'll also be able to install xiaomi.eu!
I'm planning on buying Mi 10 from China, then convert it into Global Rom / EU Rom. Does anyone know if flashing global rom will allow the device to receieve auto updates on the OS? Also will I be able to relock the bootloader after flashing the global rom?
Has anyone tried this? Thank you!
If you lock bootloader with Global rom your device will brick.
Flash global rom without lock. You can receive updates without any problems.

Can I flash eu rom in my Indian Mi10 with locked bootloader? If can, what's the procedure?
Not possible to flash any rom without unlock bootloader.
Will unlocking the bootloader break the FP scanner like it has on 2 other android 10 Chinese phones I've had?
I just got a mi 10 Pro yesterday and now I'm scared to try lok

Never heard that. I use bl unlocked devices for years.
Hello guys, ive a Note 9S that has a microphone bug, if i call the other person cant hear me for the first 20 sec, i was thinking about flashing the Global ROM over my EEA to solve the bug. It is possible to flash it over the EEA without unlocking the bootloader? Do unlock the BL void my warranty?
Without unlocking the bootloader, you can't install MIUI from another region. You could either flash a Global MIUI ROM on your EEA running phone via MiFlash or via a custom recovery and both methods would need BL to be unlocked.
