Hey, so I've been using Xiaomi phones for quite a while, and I've gone through notes, Poco, the 9T pro, now up to the Mi10. I've only ever installed minor mods and such, never needed to flash ROMs before. I just set up my Mi10 today and it says no updates are available, staying on Android 10 and MiUI 11, even though it should have at least access to a beta MiUI12. Tried different regions, nothing.
I looked around and saw some ROMs for MiUI 12 for DL, there are ROMs for the Ultra and Pro, but not the basic. Thing is, the Pro and the regular are almost identical devices, save for I guess the camera sensors. So, I have a few questions.
Would the Mi10 pro ROM work for the regular Mi10 5G?
If not, is there a link I missed here for a MiUI 12 ROM for the regular one?
Can I really install a ROM through the phone itself, manually, and if not, is there a guide on here that I have also missed?
Soon
Check weekly builds on xiaomi eu website

How do you mean? It's imported from the Netherlands and not locked to any carrier or anything, as far as I can tell. Hmm.

As you see, VF is Vodafone branded firmware, so it is very slow in updating. You should change fw: unlock bootloader, use mi flash for flashing EEA fw. You can relock using that fw, not others

Hi,
I had the same questions when i received my Mi10 last week (France) it was locked on mi11 and no update proposed
Now, before unlocking the bootloader, i could manually update with no problem to miui 12.0.6 European stable version through manual update (setting - > updates - > menu > select update package
The recovery update package can be found easily on Google.

Do I need to use Mi Unlock to unlock the bootloader, because I've never done that before?
And do you mean this one? Mi 10 EEA Firmware V12.2.4.0.RJBEUXM Update | Xiaomi Firmware Updater
If these are stupid questions, sorry, I genuinely don't know how it works.

You mean the V12.2.4.0.RJBEUXM Europe recovery ROM from here Download: MIUI 12 stable update rolling out to several Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO devices (xda-developers.com) ?
Because when I tried to install it with choose update package, it said something about couldn't verify carrier or something like that.
Haven't tried it in recovery mode after restart, but I was worried if that might have a bad effect on the device. I have not unlocked bootloader myself, never done it before.

No problem bro. Yes, you have to unlock bootloader with mi unlock and then use mi flash for flashing rom from here: https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2
Choose "last europe"
It is miui 12, Android 10, but then you receive ota update or download recovery update version from web.
In mi flash you can choose "clean all & lock" option, i have done same procedure for my device. Cheers.

Well, this really blows. I set up an account fine, logged in with MiUnlock, tried to unlock, it threw an error 1004. Tried again, told me to associate this device and number in developer settings. I did that, tried again, and it said "Try again 168 hours later, not earlier or you'll wait from scratch"...
This sucks.
I don't get it at all. Everything seemed fine. Is there really nothing I can do?
I'm almost tempted to just return the phone if I can't.

If it's normal and I just need to try in a week, then ok, but if there's something else, I might as well return it since no telling when VF will release firmware, and I wasn't told it was VF-branded on purchase.
I also get something about "SMS_DOWNLINK_REACHED", if that matters, but it didn't seem to affect the Mi account or the developer options "add account to device".

You have to wait a week, yes. Seller should say if it is a branded VF device. If you don't want to wait you can return it. In my case i have paid 420 EUR, so i choose to unbrand it by myself.
I advice you to read some guide online for unlocking etc
Message in "mi flash" is normal, you have to use "mi unlock" before. They are different programs

Yeah, I know they're different, this message is from Mi Unlock Tool, I followed the steps on Xiaomi's DL site for it, i.e. create and confirm a Mi account on the phone, download the tool, log in with the account, boot the phone in safeboot mode, try unlocking, llink the phone and number with developer options, etc.
If it's normal, then that's good and I didn't mess something up. All that's left is to wait and see if it works in a week.
Thanks a lot for the help, I hope this works out eventually!

It's been so long since I unlocked my kenzo, but I don't remember it asking me for a region. I'm in NZ too.
From memory, I followed this page:
xiaomitips.com/download/mi-flash-unlock-tool
I set my phone number to the full +642xxxxxxxxxx.
The main difficulty for me was that even though I got permission, I had to flash the global development ROM version, as the global stable ROM got the 50% verification problem.

Hi thanks for your reply, on the unlock site it does not list nz and it needs to send an sms verification code.
i have a friend in aussie who let me use there number, i have been given acceptance to unlock but not i get stuck at 50% cannot verify device, what steps do i need to take to get past this error?
To fix 50 % stuck or verification problem. First flash global beta or dev rom via miflash tool in edl mode than umlock with mi flash tool. Or wait for 4 - 5 days after unlock code acceptance if u tried to unlock on reinstalled stable rom

It takes a week or two until it lets you unlock after getting permission. Also you need to be on developer ROM AFAIK to unlock.
There are several guides on unofficial unlocking, you should give it a try in case you are impatient.

Correct, you have to have the development ROM, and wait a week after getting approval.
Apparently it takes that long to get to their servers.
If you try to use the updater app on MIUI to flash a developer ROM when you have the global ROM, it will tell you that it can't verify the update.
Most people will tell you to use edl mode to flash developer ROM, which will work.
I solved this on my phone ; I managed to use the inbuilt updater to successfully flash global developer 6.8.18, and from there unlock.
No other version would flash.
Thank you for all your replies. I have sorted it moe based on your tips.
Hey,
I noticed that a lot of people are buying a "global" version of Redmi K20 Pro from Chinese sellers. Such a device comes with pre-installed global ROM with many languages.... but ATTENTION, for now there is no such thing as Global ROM! Chinese sellers unlock the bootloader with their dev account, then they install the remade global rom (most likely coming from non-original sources). One day when the official global ROM comes out, the OTA update will make a brick from the phone (because bootloader will most likely lock or simply the software files will not match).
When the bootloader is blocked, the device must have the same software as it came out of the factory, currently only China ROM. In a few days, the Indian version of Redmi K20 Pro with a different code name - raphaelin - will have premiere. Currently, when you check the fingerprint / code name of your Redmi K20 Pro with fake Global ROM (called trashMIUI) it will turn out that it is raphaelin instead of raphael... This already shows that something is wrong because raphaelin has will be presented in India on July 17.
My advice? If you have a global rom installed on Redmi K20 Pro, first install TWRP and Xiaomi.eu ROM, then stay on it until real global rom will be available! And REMEMBER, never lock your bootloader! If you will do it, the only way to fix it will be flash China ROM using test points.
It is also unknown whether the global rom from the Indian version of the Redmi K20 Pro will be able to be installed on the current Chinese version (there will be different code names).

I've tried them all so far and imo the best features and performance are found at this website. http://portal.mi-room.ru/roms/
Those Russians really know how to fix miui. You can even disable all the remaining useless miui apps right in the apps own info settings menu, so you don't need root or ADB.

Yes, you can do it, but...
Xiaomi.eu is China ROM with installed Google services, with multi-languages and it is debloated
I bought a Global ROM k20 pro before I figuring it wasn't an official ROM
If they opened the bootloader with a dev account. Is this different methode than with the Mi- account unlocking they tell buyers to do? If it isn't would it be possible to link the device to a different account?

If you boot up the phone, on splash screen, you see the unlock label, that's great, just install twrp and enjoy any rom that you like. Luckily, you've got a pre-unlock device.
If not, I'll be sorry for that, locked bootloader and custom rom, you just can stay with that bad rom, only the qcom 9008 way can flash with locked bootloader.
I bought the normal China version, I have a question, can I fastboot flash India version rom on my China version phone?

Actually if you get a locked you just have to go through the Xiaomi unlocking process which takes a few days to a week. The bootloader is not permanently locked.

Yes I'm aware of this but I've read instances where people their device was still linked to the retailers MI-account therefore unable to unlock their bootloader that way. Mine will be delivered in 4 days but that's what concerns me the most.

How do you know that? First, India version will be available AFTER 17 July. India version will have different code name (raphaelin) than China version (raphael). Do you install software from Mi 9 on Redmi K20 Pro? Same components, BUT a different code name.

This is a slightly different method because they do not have to wait a week as opposed to an ordinary user. Of course, you can connect your Mi account with the device, but you must allow OEM unlock in the developer settings. Locking a bootloader is not really a good idea. And no, on xiaomi.eu never lock the bootloader. For example, an unlocked bootloader is needed because OTA updates are automatically installed via TWRP. Unlocked bootloader is useful, see what happened to Mi 9SE users - their system displayed a notification that it is destroyed, but thanks to an unlocked bootloader and TWRP you can install everything you want, fix Google Pay, remove MIUI ads, remove junk from the system etc.

India version is raphaelin, china version is raphael and global in September will be raphael! This is the same situation like Redmi 6 Pro.

There is no need for open gapps. The stock Chinese ROM has Google services already installed. Go to the Mi app store and search for Google. You'll probably not see anything straight away, but will get a pop-up message in Chinese. Click the right button and it will bring up a lot of Google apps, including the Play Store.

And what if the ofiicial global version never comes out (wich is the most likely option)? What will then be with global ROM users. I ordered Global ROM and really would like someone to make video on youtube or explain steps for installing TWRP and Xiaomi.eu ROM, or what is the best option for us Global ROM users to get most out of phone...

If you took the time to look through the K20 Pro forums, there are guides already. This is just a few threads below this one.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k2...-xiaomi-eu-rom-fix-gpay-t3946342/post79859363
The clue is in the title.
Your phone will probably have an unlocked bootloader, so you can ignore the first part of the guide and move straight on to installing TWRP.
You haven't mentioned GPay either, so you can also ignore the last part of the guide.
Hey guys, i've come across some bugs while installing the RMX1921EX_11_C.02 version from the Indian site to my phone and i would like some clarifications or help if someone faced those and overcame them.
- To begin with let me start by saying that I bought a global Realme XT with the firmware being RMX1921EX_11_A.05.
- I then managed to brick cyclops the device by trying to install RMX1921EX_11_A.10. Phone wouldn't boot, stuck on the Realme black/white logo.
- I managed to install RMX1921EX_11_A.06 through recovery and sd card.
- Then I downloaded from the Indian support site and installed through file manager the version RMX1921EX_11_C.02.
Now, on this version everything seems to work ok minus some bugs:
- Phone gets a bit laggy sometimes
- Brightness in automatic mode is not working
- Software update through settings won't work. Crashes a while after opening
- Battery life seems affected, won't last anyway near to what it was on RMX1921EX_11_A.05
So my question is, has anyone experienced any of those and found a solution to the bugs?
Also, is there anyway to obtain and roll back to the original stock rom RMX1921EX_11_A.05 from the beginning and then wait for the official OTA update?
Thank you in advance
Are you sure your phone firmware is RMX1921EX_11_A.05. (India version) not RMX1921EUEX (global version)?
If your firmware is India version, you should be able to unlock the bootloader and install twrp.

Yes, absolutely sure but im confused as RMX1921EX_11_A.05. is supposed to India version which my phone had but then the place i bought it was advertised as the global version and also i didn't receive the official ota update through the phone's update settings (and supposedly having the indian version). Seriously, realme's firmware naming and distribution is so confusing and impractical. but let's say i indee have the indian version, what does unlocking the bootloader and installing twrp mean? how will that help me and are there any cons into doing that? Thanks man
unlock the bootloader you can root the phone
https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...ecovery-unofficial-twrp-realme-5-pro-t3985459
My XT is was some as the global version. But from what I'm reading this says I'm using the Indian version? But I have NFC. This is so confusing. Bought this phone thinking I could unlock and root.
This confusing but normal. I bought two EU phones with NFC. One for me and one for my girlfriend. She is still on RMX1921EX_11_A.05.
I updatet my Phone to A.06 and when i look in phonedetails is called RMX1921EX_11_A.06.
I read that A.05 can be unlocked in the other thread. I would test this by myself, but yeah i don't want drama with my girlsfriends phone.
So i don't touch it

This confusing but normal. I bought two EU phones with NFC. One for me and one for my girlfriend. She is still on RMX1921EX_11_A.05.
I updatet my Phone to A.06 and when i look in phonedetails is called RMX1921EX_11_A.06.
I read that A.05 can be unlocked in the other thread. I would test this by myself, but yeah i don't want drama with my girlsfriends phone.
So i don't touch it

India version comes with no NFC. You can try Depth test apk , it won't hurt your phone even you pass it. Let us know if your global version can pass it or not.

Hey guys, i've come across some bugs while installing the RMX1921EX_11_C.02 version from the Indian site to my phone and i would like some clarifications or help if someone faced those and overcame them.
- To begin with let me start by saying that I bought a global Realme XT with the firmware being RMX1921EX_11_A.05.
- I then managed to brick cyclops the device by trying to install RMX1921EX_11_A.10. Phone wouldn't boot, stuck on the Realme black/white logo.
- I managed to install RMX1921EX_11_A.06 through recovery and sd card.
- Then I downloaded from the Indian support site and installed through file manager the version RMX1921EX_11_C.02.
Now, on this version everything seems to work ok minus some bugs:
- Phone gets a bit laggy sometimes
- Brightness in automatic mode is not working
- Software update through settings won't work. Crashes a while after opening
- Battery life seems affected, won't last anyway near to what it was on RMX1921EX_11_A.05
So my question is, has anyone experienced any of those and found a solution to the bugs?
Also, is there anyway to obtain and roll back to the original stock rom RMX1921EX_11_A.05 from the beginning and then wait for the official OTA update?
Thank you in advance

Brother I sincerely thank you for point out that to me!! Much appreciated!!
Hi Everyone,
I've recently bought a Oppo Reno 3 Pro 5G dual SIM from China and I would like to unlock the bootloader to flash an oversea version firmware (with GMS framework). I have enabled the Developer option and OEM Unlocking function and I am having difficulty to get into Fastboot mode. With the phone powered off, I press the volume down button + power button and it only boots into recovery mode. Can someone please point me to the right direction? I also need some help of finding the right firmware for this model and flashing tool. I found this firmware Oppo_Reno 3_Pro_5G_PCRM00_11_A.02_191215.ofp online and not sure if that would be the right one.
Thanks,
Joe

to enter fastboot mode you have to push volume button up and power, not volume down on this phone or you enter in adb shell on your PC the command "adb reboot fastboot"
BUT: I think, there are a lot of hints still not known by us users to unlock this oppo phone. We might like on Xiaomi phones need an oppo Account to unlock.
I myself didn't try to unlock yet. Does only make sense when a working TWRP is out
There was a note in the OPPO RENO forum about getting and running a file from OPPO, after 60 days.
For me the Chinese version is not good anymore, now I can't install any new app on this phone because it says that I have to log in to a heytap account. But if I want to log in, I have to give my Chinese phone number.. I don't have Chinese phone number of course. Any solutions to this problem?
Now the find x2 neo (cph2009eu) released as the global version, and I want to install it's software because it's 100% the same hardware if I know it well. But I can't. I have the firmware for it from the internet, but in a .ofp file, I can't flash it
Okay, now I found a method to install apps without signing in with a chinese number, so the global software is not urgent anymore, but it would be good anyway.
I tried to install the global software via qfil, but it gives sahara error. After a quick search I found that we have to unlock the phone's bootloader to flash the global rom.
But the chinese version that I have does not have fastboot mode, so maybe we have to wait until Oppo will unlock the phone's bootloader officially (probably we have to wait until the next Android/ColorOS beta)
I have bought this EU Version, but funny thing here: they disabled 5G. Mine has 765G, 12GB RAM, dual SIM but neither specified nor selectable 5G
Hi all,
I also own the Chinese version of this phone (PCRM00)
Looking to unlock the bootloader, install EU version of the ROM and also root..
Any help?
Thanks!
Hi,
the Oppo registration ist now available with a none-chinese mobile number. Seems they splittet the HeyTap and Oppo services so you can use an least the Oppo services.
Here is the software update of the global version
https://oppo-uk.custhelp.com/app/software_update_detail/p_name/Find+X2+Neo
It gives an error, so suddenly we cant install it simply from the original recovery
My variant is just the 128/8gb version, and maybe this also could be a problem, becouse the global phone has only 256/12 variant. So maybe with a 256/12 varint its woth a try

I have 12/256 EU Version (seems to sell in Poland), dual-SIM, 4G only (although SD765G).
Current Firmware reads CHP2009_11_A.08, March security update.
Is this a valid update or will it possibly bring 5G?

If you have the single-camerahole, 765G version, and the phone is CHP2009, this update maybe woth a try. The problem could be that Oppo dont allow to change the firmware in the official recovery, only update is possible, so if I try to install the global (CHP2009EU) on my PCRM00 (chinese) variant, it fails and dont install anything. And we dont have custom recoverys yet, and the chinese version dont even have fastboot mode to unlock the bootloader, so it seems impossible for me to install the global until Oppo dont unlock our phones bootloaders officially (for example for a beta upadate)
But if you already have CHP2009 software, maybe the update that I linked worth a try. If the recovery allows it..
If I know it well, the CHP2009EU (Oppo find X2 neo) have 5g modem, just like the chinese variant that I have (Theyre the same phone, but the software is different. I want the global software instead of the chinese becouse of Netflix HDR and Google assistant)
It is the single camera hole but 5G disabled- See Spec
I'd show you, but I cannot share screenshots here.
Would it reject update if it was not functional version or would I brick the device, if I flashed incorrect version?
The difference I see ist that X2 neo has single SIM and Reno3 pro has dual. I know from other brands, that this can brick the phone.

There's always a theoretical chance to brick your device when you modify the software, it's your responsibility. But I think there's more chance that the original recovery that we have won't allow you to update your software to the X2 neo's software. If you want 5g, you can try the Chinese variant's software, but I think the recovery won't allow the other softwares to install

I have it now for three weeks, no need for 5G, so better have a working than bricked phone currently.
Probably I'd play around in one year, when tools are more stable.
In fact I considered to search for an update on Polish Oppo site and found an update file for my Reno3 Pro, that was exactly the same as from your link and X2 neo.
So I did the update via Recovery, it ran through and landed with version .28.
It did not change anything on supported bands.
I remember from Sony phones, that bands are defined in NVRAM.
It seems that for all Reno3/X2 variants with 765G the firmware is the same, it is distinguished only by supported bands.

I just updated from Polish site to latest version:

Now I am on June 5th security level.
The former file from UK site is exactly the same:

Just tried the polish version on the chinese variant of the phone and it gave me an error.

I also tried it, dont work :/
I don't know if it's really helpful but i think I've read somewhere on the official website that 5g isn't unlocked yet and would be thru future updates.
I live in the Netherlands and my Reno pro 5g should arrive today.
I'm kind of lost by all the different variants though..
The find x neo is also for sale over here and it seems the same service expert a minor different front cam.
But here in the Netherlands they are both for sale but the neo is much more expensive.
Anyway, I'm excited as this will be my first Oppo.
Hi,
after question on lenovo forum, here is my installation guide.
Warning:
I dont know what happen if you relock the bootloader after flashing, so dont relock it.
There will be no OTA updates, software update chanel is still retcn.
Every part of this instruction is done at your own risk!
Pro:
5G is now working for me in Germany
Multi-language
Requirements:
Unlocked Bootloader
PC with ADB and Fastboot Tool and Motorola ADB Driver
Download ROM: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=4279422670115730514
Download flashfile (you can skip this and do it manuelly): https://1fichier.com/?zd9n4g4vj0gf59577w64
Install:
Download ROM and flashfile and extract both in one folder
Unlock Bootloader
Boot phone in Bootloader (power off phone and start with power on + volume down)
run flashfile.bat
Any cons? Any bugs you're experiencing?
Also are you able to pass safety net with magisk? How can you later update the software if ota is not possible?
Much appreciate the description
You can change retcn to reteu
command there: fastboot oem config carrier reteu
After relocking the bootloader the safety net will pass?? Could please send a snapshot of the safety net status after flashing?

Have you sold already the X40? If 5G works on X40 , which one do you recommend? Oneplus11 or Motor x40? I have a same concern to loosing the safety net pass, and far as I know, the Edge 40 pro has 1-NanoSIM and 1-eSIM I am afraid to loosing the second SIM...

In my opinion Moto edge 40 pro is far better than op11 which I have now. But unfortunately I only paid 600£ for the global op11 and Moto is 800£, as the don't give any discounts. X40 is on AliExpress tho for 480£ so I might sell my op 11 and buy x40 and install global Rom, if there aren't any issues

Currently I am using X40. I am little bit afraid to unlock the bootloader but I will do it soon because I need 5G but also need bank apps to be running. I will let you know about the results. Based on another forums feedback with the relocked bootloader will solve safety net issue.. let's try

I use it in UK and Poland. Bank apps work fine in both countries.
I didn't test 5g. Living in small village. x40 Chinese room.
great was thinking of getting the Moto x40 from AliExpress as it's far much cheaper than the global Edge 40 Pro
Does anyone know the difference between T1TR33.43-20-5 and T1TR33.43-20-15 firmware? A security patch maybe? I have now installed version .43-20-5 on my X40. Rooted with Magisk and safetynet passed. Can I just flash the newer version .43-20-15 via fastboot without losing data? Thank you for the effort.

Few questions after flashing EU FW and with bootloader unlocked:
Is fingerprint scanner working?
Is gps working?
Is wifi working?
OTA Updates are working with unlocked bootloader?
Does something change after bootloader re-lock?
Cheers

Everything is working fine. OTA updates haven't arrived yet so I can't say if it's working.
Anybody try to activate esim? Is it working?

Actually everything is working except Google wallet.
Even after relocking bootloader it is not working.
Do you know when/how I can enable OEM unlocking? Now it is grayed out (after relocking).

Hey fellas,
I successfully flashed from CN to EU and locked the bootloader after. Safetynet is failed and i want to return to the stock ROM but the OEM unlock is greyed out for me. Do I have to wait till i can activate it again?

you might need to use the moto rescue and smart assistant toll to go back to original firmware
The flashing went well. At first there seemed to be no problems for me. Wifi, GPS, fingerprint etc all are working. But in the night the phone soft reboots every ~30min, which leads to 40-50% battery drop during the night.
Clean install doesn't help.
Waking the device every 15min seems to prevent reboots. First such test consumed 30% of battery during the night but I have to test it a bit more.
I tried flashing back the CN rom (2 releases), but now locksreen pattern/pin/password can't be set (the app freezes and then crashes).
Also the phone is not on the list of rescue software.
