It is 6..0 but I have no choice.
It looks like the baseband is different in the new ROM.

Hi. Those versions are only available through the updater app if you have China dev or global dev ROM installed. Your device will come with global stable probably and to experience miui 9 and android 7 you will have to flash twrp and flash the dev ROM or use MiFlash with the fastboot method.

Hi! Don't know what version they installed. I bought this one: https://www.gearbest.com/cell-phone...il_sys&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=shipping
One more question: it comes with bootloader unlocked? Anyway there's tutorial to follow everywhere =)

If it's from gearbest i think it will come with global stable.
About the unlocked bootloader , i don't think so , but there are tutorials to flash roms without unlocking the bootloader if you wanna hurry flashing . The best is to unlock it officially and proceed after with flashing.

MIUI 9 - v7.10.19 - China Developer Rom .. That's the final rom they have released (until now) that I downloaded..
Probably it comes with GApps and Chinese 'bloatware' (I would throw them away with Titanium backup, no problem).
Does this have some problems?? Anyone installed this specific version yet?

Hi! If you refer to the post above you , yea , i've tested the china developer rom. It does not have gapps and has chinese xiaomi apps that can be uninstalled.
If you guys want to try the china developer rom , you can download the latest version from xiaomi.eu , it's based on it and has gapps. Also , it is optimised for a smoother experience and no bloatware.

Flashing to global ROM

I live in the US and really want to buy a new Mi Mix 2 but from what I've been reading I will have to flash it myself to the global ROM since all of these phones currently come with the Chinese version. Some questions for the experts:
(1) When is the global ROM coming out?
(2) All I really want is Google app store, Gmail, etc on my phone. If I install those then what are the benefits of flashing to global ROM?
(3) Will all apps in Google play store work with Chinese ROM?
(4) I am a total noob and have never flashed anything in my life. How difficult is this? Are there step-by-steps instructions for the Mi Mix 2? My biggest fear is bricking my phone and throwing away over $600 for something I didn't even get to use.
Thanks in advance for you advice and comments.

These are good questions

I wondering the same thing about question #1 so I can flash. Even with "english" set to mine there is still a lot of Chinese I'm running into. Just gonna wait for the global ROM.

I've just checked miui official site, and the latest both stable and developer version stock roms for Mix 2 have been released there. Simply download it and flash it through official flashing tool. Go check it! Hope can help you. I'm working on xposed for my mix 2 now

Is there a safe way to flash that without being unlocked. I am waiting for Xiaomi to allow me to unlock.

So to go from China to Global normally what you have to do is install from Fastboot, so Unlocked Bootloader is a must. There´s no news yet about Global ROM comingf out yet but I suspect that in a few weeks time it will be coming out, hopefully. Still no official news yet. With Chinese ROM you can install GApps through Mi store, there's an app which installs it, that should work for you. If you need help please let me know. Benefits from flashing GLOBAL is that GApps come preinstalled, theres not so much bloatware (MIUI CHINA has quite a lot, but you can still uninstall most of it easily, which I strongly suggest. Flashing an official rom isn't hard, but there's still people like me that can help you in the process for some cash and that can make sure that you don't mess up xd and make sure you understand what you are doing so you learn what you've done, at least that's my way of doing it

Re #1 its quite simple and i just did.
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Flash TWRP
3. Flash EU MIUI rom (based on chinese developer rom but comes with google)
4. Done

Did you wait 72 hours before you could unlock. I am waiting for that timer to get to 0, lol

There is a difference between your link and the rom from this one: http://en.miui.com/download-334.html

The link you have is for the Chinese rom and the Chinese developer rom.
My link is for the European EU Rom. EU ROM has Google Apps and no Chinese bloatware

Hey I've been waiting to purchase the phone until I know I will be able to install a fresh rom without all the bloatware. This EU MIUI you're talking about, could this be the infamous "Global Rom" that I've been hearing about?
Any screenshots of this EU MIUI that will show the lack of bloatware so I can compare?

But there will be an official global rom from xiaomi?

Its official, dont worry about that.

Not quite - they are two different things. The Global ROM usually refers to an official xiaomi ROM developed for outside China. It has Gapps built in and less Chinese software. If you go to en.miui.com and look at roms for various devices you will see many have both China and Global Roms. There isn't a global one yet for Mix 2.
The EU Roms are released by a team at xiaomi.eu and are based on xiaomi Roms but have some improvements, Gapps built in and many more languages.
Then in addition there are stable and developer options for each one.
I have always been satisfied with the EU Rom on previous xiaomi phones.

Hi guys! Any news on this? I need the global one with Google play

Will Chinese version of Xiaomi Mi 6 work properly with Google?

Hello everyone. I'm in China currently and I'll stay here for a while. I'm planning to buy Xiaomi Mi 6 from Taobao. Here is the link
So am I going to be able to use Google services? Play Store and all other if I buy this phone? Also, if not, I guess that I need to root my phone and install custom rom in order to get Google services. Is there any way to root and install custom rom as well as TWRP without using the computer?
Thanks

I've been to China and I bought a redmi not 3 there, in my experience there should be no problem; you buy the phone, unlock the bootloader and switch from China to global rom. Probably there is also the possibility to install Gapp on the Chinese rom. The only problem is that if you wanna use Google and it's services in China you better have a VPN

Oh, I understand. But it's not the same. Models are different. Actually I'm not sure. It's going to be my first Xiaomi phone. So far I'm familiar with Xperia and HTC. Love them both but "high" end devices are getting too expensive. I'm also considering to buy OnePlus 3T. What do you guys think which is better and easier for unlocking, rooting and installing custom roms?
I repeat again that I'm not familiar with these brands, never touched them actually I Need your help! And don't forget that I don't have PC. Unlocking bootloader, root, recovery and rom must be done without Pc. Help help help

Just unlock bootloader and flash Global rom via MiFlash. It's that easy.

My device is the Chinese model. Bought from a seller who just imports them and flashes the global ROM
The mi 6 models are all identical.
Global is the same as Chinese anyway just a different model number since they had to get more legal things pushed through to sell it internationally.
Buy the Chinese model in China. It will be cheapest there.
Then when you are back in a country which supports Google services you can unlock the boot loader, then flash using Mi flash to the global ROM.
Since the phone is identical this works fine. I was running the global ROM on mine (now custom ROMs).
Really a great phone and no issues for me.
Also checkout the mi mi 2 it looks pretty awesome but for a "smaller" device Mi 6 is fantastic.

If you don't have a pc I really don't know how to help you to my knowledge you can unlock the bootloader with a pc so there isn't any friend or acquaintance that can borrow you a pc for a couple of Hours ?

No, it's just too large for me. I like to use phone with one hand. I'm not a fan of displays larger than 5.5 inches so I'll stick with Mi 6.

You dont have to unlock or root the phone in order to install gapp

This gapp works perfectly on china miui 8/9.

Indian rom on global version device.

Could please someone let me know if I can install Indian rom on global version phone, and please share the way to install.

Yes, You can Install it.
The Process are
- Unlock Bootloader using Mi Unlock Tool.
- Download Fastboot Rom of Indian Version.
- Download MiFlash Tool and while flashing, Don't Select "Clean all and lock" option. Just select only "Clean all" option to avoid brick issue.
*Note: Unlocking Bootloader will erase user data. If device got brick, only option to fix it is to take it to service center.

I'm gonna do this tonight, been waiting 7 days to unlock bootloader, just for this.
The only reason I'm doing this is to get stock MIUI Dialer and messaging app, with default call recording built-in.
Can someone confirm this?

Alexa does work but make sure to turn off Alexa hands-free in the notification toggle. My device couldn't play audio, auto-brightness didn't work and videos were sped up. After turning it off everything worked again.
NFC is nowhere available, not as a toggle and not in the settings.

Actually way more boring than I thought. Flashed the China Rom after that and that also sucked. I'm now back on EEA

If your bootloader is unlocked and you flash the whole Rom using fastboot, it should not be a problem.
I've read about some anti-rollback 'feature' on some roms, but that would be from Android 10 I think.
Both the versions you mentioned being Android 9 they should not have it.
PS: If you flash IN Rom you are going to loose NFC.

Having the preloader and lk already installed as the megathread intrudes, just need to follow the same steps indicated here?
Do I need to reinstall it after the flash of the Indian version?
Thanks.

Hey guys,
Indonesian or Malaysian rom does have the mi dialer with call recorder and NFC support?

no it doesn't only global devices rom get nfc hardware so is software support , conclusion is any device sold officially outside india is global rom and have nfc , i tried indian rom but problem is to make something like that you need to make a custom rom with these features which is nearly impossible because mediatek doesn't care about its' customers and its' restrictions are beyond insane , that's why xiaomi.eu ended support for mediatek phones because of bad platform and crazy restrictions that blocks developers from having freedom that they get on snapdragon platform , it's not xiaomi's fault.

Stable Global Question latest update

Hi,I just got the Mi 10T Pro yesterday,
I was disappointed to get the EEA version so I went ahead and used the Mi tool to convert to Global stable,
Everything seems to be fine and I'm on
Version V12.0.9.QJDMXM
Only concern I have is that my Security Is saying 2020-11-01 but the description of the ROM says updated security
To December
Can anyone on global stable same version as me confirm its on November
Or has something gone wrong as the previous EEA version I had was November.
Thanks

The changelog is wrong. Wait for next update to be fixed

Thanks for the reply,that's good actually because I was a bit apprehensive after using the Mi Tool on a locked bootloader to convert ROMs but I guess everything worked.
