Hi Folks,
Been reading alot of different threads and searching the net. I see some of the sellers on e bay have roms with google play store and multi languages pre installled. From what i gather these seem to be a custom rom and not the global rom. (which has me thinking is the bootloader unlocked on these ones?)
Are there any disadvantages to buying these? will the rom get OTA updates( probably not) ? will they contain more bloatware than the stock original rom?
So should I buy stock rom? Then upgrade to the Global rom for the english and to get rid of any chinese stuff on the phone?
If i want to install custom roms, then i gather the best way is to request via the mi link to have bootloader unlocked and flash to the developer ROM.
i have read a few different ways, users maybe bricking phones. So want to ensure I do things right from the start.
Any advice is most welcome.

1.bootloader is not unlocked
2.all phones,which don't come from mi.com have custom roms installed and you will not receive OTA upadtes in future,but you can install original MIUI Global Rom.It don't care if they contain bloatware,you will flash new rom
3.you don't need to buy sotware,it is free from miui forum
4.i don't recommend you to unlock bootloader and to install custom roms;too many people around us cry after this action.Stay with original rom and you will don't have problems
P.S:i suggest you to buy from trustworthy reseller and not from Ebay or untrusted sources,easy you can receive a fake device.
Thanks for the tips, one final question as a lot of the flashing process seems to be all over the place or conflicting information.
If I had a stock version rom and a custom rom , do both require for the boot loader to be unlocked to flash to the global rom? Basically I just want the global rom, that will get updates and just install google services . It's a phone for the wife. Don't want a lot of bother. So in just trying to force a reliable seller and gather whether I need to request to get the boot loader unlocked or not.
There is a way to flash roms with locked bootloader. Just having vendor rom doesn't necessarily mean the bootloader is unlocked.
Vendor ROMs or unofficial MIUI ROM might have malware/bloatware pre-installed. I myself prefer official ROM unless the customized ROM is from well recognized developer.
If you'd like to have global rom, then you should buy the redmi note 3 with qualcomm cpu, aka redmi note 3 pro.

You can install Global Rom even the bootloader is locked(mine is locked);global rom have google services preinstalled,you don't need to install nothing related to Google apps.The phone is very good and speedy and nice.One more timeON'T UNLOCK BOOTLOADER.Think a litlle and ask your self:Why Xioami had to invest more money in extra security?

Hi, I am new to mi devices had used sony in the past. I wanna ask which custom roms locks the bootloader (No MIUI) ??
I was going through threads of other rom and I can see that some relock the boot loader that's why I am asking . Because in sony the custom roms except for the official firmware didn't lock the bootloader
Would be of great help if somebody could tell me how to find out that which rom locks the bootloader or not without asking in every rom thread and look like a fool noob
any mm rom lock bootloader...so take backup using alka twrp before flashing mm rom
Hello,
Around 9 months ago I tried to unlock, root and install custom ROM on my phone but all the ROMs I tried didn't work properly especially with fingerprint sensor ( I think it was because of unlocking through unofficial way) so I decided to relock bootloader and install stock ROM. Luckily I was successful and my phone is still working but I'm not very satisfied with MIUI after all this time especially that my phone is not getting MIUI 9.
And there is my question. Is it safe to re-unlock the phone? Now I would do it the official way. And are the ROMs working with fingerprint sensor for you?
Thanks in addition and sorry if I made any mistakes I'm still learning English.

It is completely safe by the official method. With the Nitrogen OS rom the fingerprint works perfectly.:good:
Hello Everyone
This is my first question so if I make any mistake please tell me and I will correct them.
I love my Oppo Find N, is the best I have ever had and it fit my life style perfectly. However I'm not happy with the software in general.
My questions are
- do you know any custom ROM for this phone ? If not Do you think that if I flash a Z fold 4 ROM on it would it work ?
thank you
The rom of other device will never work

Do you know any custom ROM for the find N?
At this moment there is no custom ROM because no one was able to root the device nor unlock the bootloader. Without root and bootloader unlocked, it's impossible to have a custom ROM.
