difference between Cina and global firmware (not rom) - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

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.

Note 5 china rom to global rom -possible ?

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 !
Redmi note5pro and global are known as redmi note 5 in china
The rom is compatible am using Chinese rom in indian redmi note5 pro device

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.
the leaked 8.1 global fastboot rom is now available. Working like charm.
That's what wanted.

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

This is really confusing.. looks like choosing Chinese version would be a bad decision.

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.

China to global

Hi, I was hoping to get some help switching from my current China rom to the global.
Does it matter what version of the China rom I have in order to install the global rom in place of it?
I have an mi 6 China rom updated to the latest miui 10.3 and running Android 8.0.
Thanks heaps.

Unlock bootloader and use xiaomi tool, its almost idiot-proof utility. Select fastboot flash method, flash in recovery didn't provide full conversion to global.

Can I flash MIUI 12 rom on my Indian Note 8 pro model?

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.

Question Help in Updating Software on Mi 11x India variant

Hi all,
Have been back for a query. I have a Mi 11x 5G India variant. I had installed Miui EU ROM long back when Mi 11x 5G India variant was supported by Miui EU ROM developers but in between that is around February 2022 onwards devslopers had removed support for Mi 11x 5G India variant and installing such ROM was causing issues even though Poco F3 and Mi 11x 5G India are basically same handset. There was a workaround for installing that EU ROM on Mi 11x India but I never done it.
Now I have found out that they i.e., MIUI EU ROM have again started providing ROM support for Mi 11x India device. Hence my query is how do I update to the lastest Miui eU ROM.
I am already on Miui EU ROM where version is V12.5.18.0.RKHCNXM. Now the lastest EU ROM is V14.0.5.0.TKHCNXM. The latest ROM is a Hybrid ROM which means it can be installed via Recovery and fastboot both ways.
My query is can I update to the latest ROM directly by just downloading the ROM package and do a update via Recovery or do I have to follow some other procedure. I don't want to loose my data.
Please help. Thank you in advance.
Going from A11 to A13 seems tricky without formatting the data.
Personally I would flash the latest A12 then the A13 by changing TWRP for the non-hybrid versions.
Hi everyone... Awaiting for replies from people here. I seriously want to understand how do I proceed
Flash the latest V13 with the Twrp then flash the latest V14 in fasboot mode with the update.bat file.
Update the Twrp if you want to use the Ota rather than the Fastboot method.

Sorry for my question again. Miui EU hadn't had support for Mi 11x for almost a year now. The last they released a build was v12.5.19.0 which I never upated to. Post this they released HMK40_POCOF3_V13.0.2.0.SKHCNXM_v13-12-fastboot.zip. And from hereon whenever someone updated this in Mi 11x 5G Indian variant there were some software issues. And they continued with this till v13.0.7.0. And now they have again started giving support for Mi 11x 5G Indian variant aliothin device with update HMK40_POCOF3_V14.0.4.0.TKHCNXM_v14-13.zip. So please let me know what I should do. I am on Android 11 with Miui 12.5 and there was no Miui 13 with Android 12 for Mi 11x Aliothin device. And now they have released Miui 14 with Android 13.
I am really confused as to what to do. Will be very thankful if you keep it simple.

if you flash it and it works do let me know. also check whether jio 5g works with eu rom or not.
i installed the miui 13 elite rom when eu rom was not supported.

My bad sorry, forced to flash the latest V14(stable or weekly) with the first.install.bat file (your data will be erased).
You can use Micloud or third-party apps to back up your data.
you can try the Elite Rom here on XDA by HassanMirza. That is based on EU rom. I just installed it.
