Note 5 china rom to global rom -possible ? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

I am eager tho buy note 5 china as i am on tight budget but i want to know that ..As global fastboot firmware is available now for note 5 . So do that firmware will work on the china version ?
As the global and china version doesn't have any specification difference (else only band 20).
So, Did somebody tried flashing the official global firmware ?
Do that work ?
In my openion, Pro version has different camera that was the cause of camera problem on that firmware.But official global version of note 5 is same as the china version .so,firmware should work.

As you said, there is no difference between China and Global version devices (only band 20). You can flash the global fastboot ROM without issue
But TAKE A BACKUP before doing anything !

I flashed the Global leaked MIUI which was based on Oreo and my device is Redmi Note 5 AI (China). I didn't face any problems at all. You can try but always have backup in TWRP.

That leak has the rom for the pro(indian) version as pro is mentioned in the file name.

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.

Switching 1258GB model from China to Global ROM

I recently bought the 6gb/128GB model and want to change it to global. It came with MIUI 9.6.3.0 China Stable ROM. When I try to flash the Redmi Note 5 Pro Global Stable ROM 9.5.19.0 it states "Sorry, flash order version is not allowed". Do I need to wait until the Global ROMs reach 9.6.3.0 at least until I can switch over?
Yes. Its better to wait.
Forcing and flashing your ROM to the older version will brick your device completely.
notev5 pro didnt come with 128gb internal

Is Miui 10 official version out yet for the Mi Max 3 global version ?

I currently have a redmi note 5 pro, which has the official Miui rom via OTA , I am thinking of buying the Mi Max 3, but before I buy I am just wanting to know if it has had an official Miui rom update?
Not yet. Mid October. I think so.
Thank you for your the reply, is the current ROM Oreo Android 8.1 ?
The current global rom is already Android 8.1 Oreo but the version of the MIUI is the 9.
We need to wait for the update.
There is only a leaked recovery roms of global v9.6.4.0 and v9.6.6.0 available for download from xiaomi servers but they are useless for those with chinese devices, we need to wait for the fastboot version to become available.
Some official global devices come with v9.6.6.0 preinstalled while some other with v9.6.7.0

difference between Cina and global firmware (not rom)

Hi all. Does anyone could explain me the difference between the two firmware.
On xiaomifirmwareupdater.com there are both of them, but I haven't found what is the difference?
May I install a China fw on a global device or I will brick it?.
Tnx
It's safe to flash it. Xiaomi EU uses the China Beta ROMs and Globalized them to include other languages that would be in a Normal Global beta rom from Xiaomi...so with that being said I feel it's safe because if Xiaomi EU and Miroom uses the China Beta as their base then I assume that you flashing just the firmware will not brick your device.

Hello members,
Can somebody conform me that its possible or safe to flash the official MIUI 12 rom available in XDA on the Indian variant Note 8 pro? Because the rom has mentioned as begonia which is a global variant firmware. I need to clarify so that things don't turn bad.

yes , as long as it's not beta and it's stable official and has fastboot rom. don't try to flash beta on mtk devices xiaomi already warned rn 8 pro users about it , even if it's stable beta , it's better to wait also xiaomi warned about messing with rn8 pro firmware.
