AFAIK (and read hear) many tablets come with these fake-shop ROMs.
But after I started my Pad4LTE it said, there is an update and it installed it..
Settings and all the other stuff is ENGLISH and I even have a PlayStore installed?!
But before putting my MI.com and/or google credentials into the tablet, I wanted to know if that ROM is legit or some fake ROM.
Before update (dunno, attachment doesnt work)

It seems you are running the latest official Chinese stable.
Legit.

But why do I have the PlayStore? I thought the chinese version never comes with it or did I missread somewhere?

My guess is that they installed it for you at the shop. Mail them to confirm.
Maybe the did in China, because it was delivered from there directly to me.. No extra stop in Europe somewhere. The "shop"/site/seller name is "tradingshenzhen".. But I will mail them to be sure, before adding PlayStore/MI-account.. I am still wondering why I have a Chinese nano SIM..

He actually did you a favour, he could have unlocked your bootloader and put a 3rd party modified ROM as others have done.
About the nano SIM, others received it to. Maybe they need to test the tablet and don´t bother taking it back out.
As long as you have a locked bootloader, you should be ok with a legit official ROM.
So, when I unlock my BL the PlayStore will be removed, because it will be "factory reseted" or?

When unlocking bootloader everything is erased, yes.

Since July 24th 2018, unless you already received a bootloader unlock code you can no longer make changes or use anything except stock recovery and rom.
Huawei no longer issue codes and have removed the pages to do it.

FAQ
Q1. How can I unlock my bootloader?
A1. You can't unless you have a code buried in your email which you forgot about. Otherwise you're on your own. You're up a creek without a paddle.
Q2. Can I use TWRP Custom recovery?
A2. See A1.
Q3. Can I use Magisk?
A3. See A1
Q4. What are my options?
A4. Pay a third party code provider.
Sell your phone.
Use your phone stock.
Q5. Why would Huawei do this?
A1. Pressure from their communist masters? Or google? Who knows?
Q6. What is the point of this thread?
A6. To inform anyone who is thinking of buying a Huawei or Honor mobile phone of the situation at present.
And what is the actual point of this thread? We all know they stopped giving out the bootloader codes, so this thread is moot anf if anything will only turn into another "***** about Huawei" thread
Definitely will be the last device I buy from them.

Yea, because the existing bootloader-unlock-threads don't do that already ...
We already have a thread for this exact topic here:

Closing this one. =)
I am getting an error text in Chinese, which I can't read nor understand. Can anyone help me out here?
What happened is I unlock the bootloader then flashed new PIE Beta. But stupidly enough I didn't notice that the re-lock option was enabled. Now here I am, unable to unlock the bootloader.

And I'm locked ever since....above is the link to my sad story where i end up re-locking my bootloader and not able to figure out how to get it unlocked again!
I even ended up deleting my old account leaving with an obsolete sim card number to which i can't even add any more mi accounts!
So i had created a new one(mi account)...reset my poco, added the new account, associated the device with the new account, tried unlocking from the mi unlocker....no luck...it was 72 hrs of relentless waiting followed by disappointment.
I'm now on stock v8.11.15 and the most i could do to relieve myself of the crappy mi bloatware is to hide the apps i despise..such as mi video, music, google play music, movies...etc from the launcher.
Still i haven't lost hope...i had created an mi account from a friend's sim card and I'm yet to slap it in my phone n try the new account.
Let's hope for the best.

Did ur unlock process stop at 99 if yes then Enable mi cloud, sync a few small items , enable find device and once sync is complete u will be able to unlock with the same sim.
I updated to MIUI 11 and I encountered numerous issues. My serious one is pop up windows with malicious sites after fingerprint unlock.
Can enyone help me with this issue? I never have any problem with the previous MIUI versions. I am Pocophone user since October 2018.

You have not provided any details about what ROM you're using, you have not provided details about where the pop-ups show. You've provided no information whatsoever...
So I don't think anyone will care to help you.

REFLASH YOUR ROM
This is a rom-side problem.
If you want xiaomi.eu, download it from https://bit.ly/2Qoin3F
If you want global version, download it from https://bit.ly/2CM41Sx
If you want mi-room version, download it from https://bit.ly/357wE8R (Android 10 ported beta)
Yep, agree totally, you got a rom that was loaded with malware and other nasties from somewhere...
Re-flash ASAP and mate, change any passswords on anything you want to keep private or protects your $$$...
Don't know where you picked up this rom, but I'd blacklist that site forever...

I have officiall ROM that came originally with Pocophone. I have never change anything on it. I haven't installed any other ROM. I have global version of the phone.
Then you have installed a program that has infected your device with malware...
This is NOT normal behaviour for a rom...
Can someone who's running the US Unlocked firmware tell me what their 3 cscs display as? I got into the One UI 2.0 Beta within 10 hours of it going live, but still no OTA. I wonder if I forgot to wipe after going from Sprint to unlocked. I used the CSC that wipes the phone, but I may have forgotten to wipe after and I'm not sure if I needed to.
My CSC displays as XAS/XAS/ATT. In the past the last CSC displayed as ATT and otas did work (I was on Unlocked at the time)

The android 10/ One UI 2.0 Beta was basically open for registration the first day, and then went away for those who didn't get to it fast enough. Since they're doing a first come first serve thing. Hoping I get the OTA soon

I see, thank you for the advice - I will look into it later on. I don't need unlocked bootloader for that right?

Just change your region to Germany or Switzerland and check for update.

Thanks, I managed to force it through. I couldn't do it through recovery since MIUI recovery 5.0 doesn't have update option. So I did it through updater - choosing an installation package
I'm in the the UK and the update is waiting for me. Not too bothered about it tho as it's MIUI and that means for every bug fix means at least 2 new bugs.

I know what do you mean, I had same doubts. But it actually solved a lot of issues for me with images and messenger bubbles for example
