I'm trying to buy a Mi Max 3 Global version on Ebay but sellers are really confusing me with their listing titles.
One seller is selling the Mi Max 3 but it's "EU Version". As far as i'm aware, there's only two versions out right now correct?
1. Global version with english box and EU charger - (NO ROM)
2. China version with chinese box and china charger - (Fake or official global ROM's installed by the seller)
Is it possible the seller is mistaking the "EU Version" as the "Global Version"? Or is "EU Version" actually another possible version that I'm not aware of?
I messaged the seller on Ebay asking if the "Global version" and "EU version" is the same?; and this is what they replied to me:
"Thank you for contacting us! This model is official EU version, compare to China version with global rom it's Xiaomi's official EU version.
But unfortunately on the box it doesn't state it's EU version but please rest assured it comes with EU charger and AU adapter, and it's in English, and because of environment protection issue, we no longer provide physical manuals, but we can provide English e-manual for you, thank you!"
It comes with Xiaomi.eu ROM

Xiaomi.eu is/is not '' Official Xiaomi" software I think???
This is a question, as I want to buy 6GB Max 3, but don't want any enthusiasts home cooked ROM, not on day 1 anyway, maybe later.
Xiaomi.eu is a custom ROM prepared by Xiaomi enthusiasts in Europe. They take the Chinese MIUI beta and stable ROMs, completely strip them of Chinese language and bloatware, install Google apps (illegal in China) tweak the ROM for better performance, and add dozens of European language options (the Chinese ROMs only offer Mandarin and English). The developer s are very professional and update their beta ROMs every week.
Therr is only 2 version of Max 3. One is chinese version and the other global version. A lot of seller say "internation version" which is chinese version with global rom/fake rom or custom rom (xiaomi.eu).
Also some seller print a sticker with global version but its fake, its chinese.
Where is my Blue Mi Max 3

Thank you for complete answer. :highfive:
So this is what you use, how about Android monthly security updates, do they come to you?
And no problems with sensitive apps, banks etc?
Now my big itch is-----I want a Blue MI Max 3, Only seen 6GB available up to now with Chinese/Dealer roms.. Don't want that!
If as you state Xiaomi eu is trustworthy ROM would go for that too.
Thanks again.
I don't think it's a simple. Personally I have the 4gb 64gb Global version, since I wanted the locked bootloader. Xiaomi.eu (I'm not sure) should be flashable only with unlocked bootloader, so you could have problem with certain bank app. As far as I know, 6/128 global version doesn't exist, therefore it comes with Chinese ROM or xiaomi.eu but (I assume) with unlocked bootloader. Someone here having the 64/128 can confirm you this.

I have an officially unlocked bootloader and Magisk with the xiaomi.eu ROM. It passes saftey-net and I use Google Pay and my various banking apps without any problem.

I have a problem with Riru Module. It ignores the screen timeout and the screen stays awake. Do you have the same issue?
Hello,
I have an question. I recently bought Mi 9 SE Global version from a local store. I received an update (Stable) which is 485 MB sized.
My ROM version is: 10.2.2.0 (PFBMIXM)
why is it different than global ROM version which found in this forum: PFBEUXM ? I heard that PFBEUXM is EU/Spanish variant.
So How can I ensure my phone has real global version ROM? what type of global ROM is it?
Any information Guys?
My Region is: Bangladesh
hi , 10.2.2.0 PFBMIXM is global internationnal rom , PFBEUXM is for europe , same rom but some differents for privacy tracking, no chinese apps, and some others things, now stable version is v10.2.9.0, the 10.3.3.1 have issue , brick phone after ota update and update is suspended
all last updated rom => https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/grus/
it's clear now, but where is that 10.2.9 update? why i didn't get it yet? is it for region?
even your given link don't have that ROM download link..
The 10.2.9.0 update is for EU version, your model is stuck at 10.2.2.0 until Xiaomi rolls out the 10.3.1.0 again, which has caused a lot of problems.
Can I change ROM PFBMIXM to PFBEUXM without lose configuration?
Hello all, I have just placed an order for a China version 4/64 mi max 3 with global rom (I am in Canada)
As there seem to be different versions of this phone - what are the most recent recommendations for rooting and for getting up to do date Xiaomi global roms for the China version?
Thank you for any pointers
Hello,
I've just come up with a question regarding the update of the phone's firmware.
As far as I know, there's only one version of this phone (in the sense that there aren't Global/China/India versions) but depending on where you buy it comes with one or another version of MIUI.
Seeing that on XiaomiFirmwareUpgrade we can choose between 3 different versions of firmwares (global, EEA, India and China) my question is: does it even matter what firmware version do we install on our phone?
Or even clearer: can we safely use the weekly Chinese firmware even if we use our phone in any other country or part of the world (let's say America or Europe) or will we experience performance/connectivity issues?
Thank you very much.
Yes it does matter
China version will have a load of bloat apps designed for the Chinese Market that will be totally useless outside of China. Probably will have a load of other stuff included which will not function correctly outside of China.
EEA version is specifically for Europe which complies with GDPR laws so if you're not bothered about that you could use the global version instead.
I'd stick with what ever comes on your device in terms of stock rom.
If you're going to unlock the bootloader you might as well flash a custom rom
There are two different device boards of "this phone", both with slightly different hardware (camera module e.g.) and accompanying different Firmware (also note that the concept Firmware and ROM is not the same, i.e. the official ROM's contain specific Firmware to 'control specific hardware' next to the Android version, apps, scripts, ...). There are also three different device models and three different device names. All these serve five different regions, ...
1. Xiaomi
Device Board: GAUGUIN
Device Model: M2007J17G
Device Name: Mi 10T Lite
Regional Products: Global, EEA and Taiwan
-> all have different ROM content (obviously for the different regions) and will only work best on this specific device board (only these are interchangeable). This is also Xiaomi's official Android Enterprise Recommended Smartphone
2. Xiaomi
Device Board: GAUGUINPRO
Device Model: M2007J17C
Device Name: Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G (China Region)
3. Xiaomi
Device Board: GAUGUINPRO
Device Model: M2007J17I
Device Name: Mi 10i (India Region)
-> all have different ROM content (obviously for the different regions) and will only work best on this specific device board (only 2. and 3. are interchangeable).

Thanks to both of you for taking the time to answer this thread.
I've just checked, and my device is the M2007J17G.
My question was regarding not the ROM (as I've already flashed a custom rom) but the firmware.
On the XiaomiFirmwareUpdater website (https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/gauguin/) there are different types of firmware for the "gauguin" model: China, India, Global and Europe.
Right now I am using the last weekly Chinese firmware (21.7.21) on my MI 10T Lite, but I wanted to know if installing the European "version", for example, would make any difference, as from what I've read, the firmware contains the modem and other connectivity related things.
Hope my questions is clearer now.
Thanks!
We both answered your question quite well, although in a different way. Please also read:
PSA: Flashing MIUI Global on these Xiaomi devices may brick your device
If you flash MIUI Global ROM on certain Xiaomi devices with a locked bootloader, your device will not boot. Here are the Xiaomi devices that could brick.
www.xda-developers.com
Don’t flash official GAUGUINPRO ROM/FirmWare/Vendor on a GAUGUIN device or vise versa, as it does make a difference (you said it yourself "the firmware contains the modem and other connectivity related things"). It could lead to all kind of (future) problems and even ‘brick’ your device (if you try to relock it with MiFlash). Don't push your 'luck' any further !
You’re free to flash any official Global, EEA or Taiwan ROM/Firmware/Vendor to your Mi 10t Lite (not China nor India Firmware/ROM/Vendor). Personally I would stick to what came with your device and 'strip it' to the bone ;-)
What region do you live in? -> don't answer this, just flash the right firmware ;-)
PS: XiaomiFirmwareUpdater is not very clear about the obvious differences between GAUGUINPRO and GAUGUIN at all.

In case of this (unofficial) xiaomi.eu custom ROM weekly build 21.7.21, it all depends on what official (stock) ROM was installed before you decided to unlock your device and flash this custom ROM. If i.e. it was the official Mi 10T Lite EEA ROM, it does not matter as the (unofficial) xiaomi.eu custom ROM's uses that Firmware anyway (it does not change it, it rely on it). If i.e. it was the official Mi 10T Lite Global ROM, it does matter as EEA is a different Firmware, ... ;-)
Feel free to flash any official Global, EEA or Taiwan Firmware/Vendor to your Mi 10t Lite, according to your region (do not flash China nor India Firmware/ROM/Vendor).
PS: to me, these (unofficial) xiaomi.eu custom ROM’s are becoming somewhat “redundant” (unless you want to test out MIUI's latest evolution and apps, because they are 'build' on China's weekly ROM's), as Xiaomi is making their own official EEA (EU) ROM’s for some time now (they did not do that in the past, that’s why xiaomi.eu custom ROM’s where made in the first place).

Thanks for your answer.
Got it pretty clear now.
The phone originally came with the European rom, so following your advice, I'll stick to European/Global/Taiwanese firmwares.
But when you use Xiaomi adb debloater, without root., Just rurn on usb debugging mode, the phone, and the rom is Awesome. Even MIUI is smooter and fastee. Lighter.
Battery is last longer.
I use redmi note 9oro 5g, and dont olan to change chine rom. I delete over 50 apps, but now phone working perfectly..
Even after 12.5 .3 , google services works.

Hi there,
I would like to flash realme Stock Rom On my realme c21 phone. On the web "oppostockrom.com" there Are many different versions/files

Realme_c21_rmx3201_PU_11_A.23_210210_rft.zip

I dont know how do they differ - I dont known what do thé numbers And letters mean. So i dont know which one to choose.
Can anybody Tell me what Is thé difference; or better: give me advice how to get known which version do i Need for my phone
Thanks
Yes, it's confusing. I can only tell you the number after the A is a build number. https://realmefirmware.com/realme-c21-firmware/ has some versions broken down by region.
Any it the android 10 stock ROMs will work an you change your region firmware as as stated before. Android 10;firmwares start with a.xx.xx
The android 11 firmwares are more specific to region from android 10, and hence you will need to download the correct update from website or pick a region and wait for ota update.
Android 11 firmwares are c.xx builds
Here I am again
Finally I have found compatibile stock ROM file. BUT there is still little difference in the file name: the letters in the end of the codename are different:
Built number of my phone:
RMX3201VF_11_C.11
The chosen stock ROM name is:
RMX3201GDPR_11_C.11
What does there letters mean? Is this diference problem? In the web www.realmefirmware.comhttps://realmefirmware.com/realme-c21-firmware/ there is no file with "VF" in the name.
Thanks

I think you'll find the version with GDPR is the name is the European version. GDPR most likely stands for the EU General Data Protection Regulation
It's possible the version with VF in the name is a version specific to Vodafone. Is yours a Vodafone branded phone? As realmefirmware.com is a 3rd party site it does not have firmware links for every region.

Hm. It's strange, my phone isn't branded and never have been. But I am in EU and my phone was bought here, so I will probably use the "GDPR" version.

It's up to you. The safest strategy would probably be to return the phone to Android 10 and let the phone update itself to Android 11 based on its own location setting. Assuming that's how that update works.
Ok. I will think about your method. As you said I Could use any A.xx (android 10) version

There is 2 EU versions EUEX AND EU brande
Euex is your no branded EU varient otherwise there is the EU branded varients which are generally your Vodafone brands etc which are labelled generally like any other regions firmware.
Under android 10 region selector is the best screen to see this on. Otherwise there is a few files on /system (just have to find them againyself) that have the different firmware regions) can't cahnge it this way but just a good list.
