Hi, I wanna know Is it the same device? Global vs China? Can't we just flash the global ROM to China version?
And does it have a different codename?

1A) Yes, it is the same device codenamed whyred.
2A) Basically Global version = China version + b4, b20 network bands. So, if you want those two bands, then you should consider getting the global version and if not, the chinese one.
3A) Yes, we can flash the global rom to chinese version. Only is that it has two network bands less.
4A) No, it has same codename whyred.
I think I pretty much answered all your questions.
Cheers

You can flash Redmi Note 5 Global/Redmi Note 5 Pro ROM available on en.miui.com
But keep in mind that there's is no 8.1 ROM for Global only 7.1. Brw Indian and Global share the same ROM.

are you sure about that ?
because i read in miui official forum that if you have Chinese ROM you need to do fastboot flash first, before flashing Global or India ROM
you can down gmail.app from MIUI APPSTORE, it will notify you install gapps... kind of global version..
or you can unlock your device and flash the rom from xiaomi.eu

Yes unlocked boot-loader is required for that. You can't directly make the switch from China to Global stable/dev roms. Since you've a china stable rom, start the unlocking process immediately, wait for 15 days and then unlock. If not test-point which is cumbersome but no need of waiting time. You have to use China Stable atleast for 15 days before you can fastboot flash global rom.

Some people in MIUI Device Team said that going from China ROM to Global ROM ( or India ROM ) for the Redmi Note 5 Pro is not a good idea due to different camera setups, so you might experience issues with them.
I don't know if that's for sure or not !

In the end of this April several country will sold this version according to spec that xiaomi officially state. So I believe and at the same time hope this is the global variant. Btw that country is South East Asian.
why not just switch sys language to English?
First u need unlock bootloader. After 15 days bootloader will unlock then u will install global rom.
I'm using the China version, too. You can install Play Store, Gmall and other Gapps right away, since the Chinese rom includes Google framework.

Chinese vs Global Rom

My brother has a 3/32 global Note 5 AI and now I want to buy a Chinese version of Note 5 AI 4/64. So what are the problems with Chinese Rom? I've heard that GPS doesn't work, is it true? and is changing Chinese Rom to global Rom prohibited by Xiaomi now?

global has more bands.
i used chinese rom in english but still many things were chinesse. didnt like it.
am not sure i heard you cant anymore china device to global or global device to china.. some say you still can.
China ROM is definitely more smoother, but global rom has everything set up for you with gapps

i saw a post on mi forum that you cant use global rom on china device and viceversa and in here some say you can.
example when i wanted to update stock apps the changelog was in chinesse. many apps in chinesse.. i went straight back to global.
is better to get global vversion.

Mi 10T Lite or Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G?

What's the main difference between the two devices?
I can't find the Mi10t5g to buy, so i was thinking about getting the RN9Pro5G instead, it's a good idea?
I'll be alowed to flash the global room (of the Mi10Tlite5g) without any problems?
And does it need to be unlocked first?
The custom roms develoment will be shared btw the two right?​
That's it, thanks for stoping by, sorry for any repetead questions.

Not sure what telephone bands you use. Check the bands work in Brazil that the Redmi offers as it's China only

Well. The lack of B28 is worrisome, but my current smarthphone (RN5/Whyred) does not have it either, so is should work, just not as good in terms of down/up speeds in 4g. It has at least two bands that works here.

Hello everyone
I bought redmi note 9 Pro 5g in China
The names of Xiaomi's mobile phone series are getting more and more confused, and the model names of the global version and the Chinese version are interlaced,
Which version of twrp can China redmi note 9 Pro 5g brush
Can I swipe [10.0] [Gaussian] lineage OS 17.1 in the forums after brushing?
thank you!
Mi 10T Lite or Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G? Indeed Xiaomi/Redmi makes too much Smartphones with similar but not the same hardware for different markets while using the same names. Confusing.
I like the dedicated microSD slot in the Mi 10T Lite (Note 10 Pro is reported to have that too, release this month?).
In the Note 9 Pro there is a shared microSD slot, but it should have Radio which Mi 10T Lite has not.
I do not know of other inside specs differences.
So overall I tend to Mi 10T Lite or Note 10 Pro.

Question Removing VIDA ROM and flashing VIVA ROM. HELP!

I currently have the Redmi Note 11 Pro 4G Indian (VIDA) currently on miui V13.0.5.0.RGDINXM
I want to flash a different ROM, which is Redmi Note 11 Pro 4G global (VIVA) currently on miui V13.0.8.0.RGDMIXM
I want to change Rom regions because India version is slow to recieve updates compared to Global.
For example, since Redmi Note 11 Pro was released, india was only given 1 update. Global was given 4 updates. I attached pictures for all of you to see
I know that the difference between VIDA & VIVA is that VIVA has NFC and VIDA does not have NFC.
If I flash VIVA ROM on to VIDA Device, will I experience any problems. I will flash it by using Choose Update Package method in MIUI Updater Settings.
Does anyone know?
Test it

If your bootloader is unlocked you can always try to flash a global viva fastboot ROM.

I haven't tried on this model, but before that I used to own a Chinese Poco M3 Pro 5G, I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the global variant and it worked. So I would say that it's most likely going to work, the ROM is basically the same
