Hi,
I'm thinking of buying mi 9 se in Lavender Colour but they only come in CN version so we thinking of getting with Global Rom. So...
Will this have Google play, Google Pay & NFC.
If not what can I do to get above?
Many thanks
Everything works, all Google services available within the Rom
Only Themes not available for download, it gives Error.
Be aware of some lte bands which are missing compared to the global version. For example band 20. It depends from your provider which bands they use for 4g if you will have file lte speed...

Everything Works, but You can't keep bootloader locked of you have a Chinese device.. you will need to flash Rom via TWRP or Mi flash without locking the bootloader if you will lock the bootloader you will get a brick device.

Thank you very much for your responses!
Do you have a tutorial or link which I can follow.
Thanks in advance
My Pleasure, just Unlock bootloader by using MiUnlock you can search it using Google. Once device is unlocked Download the Latest Fastboot Global rom (Make sure it is of Mi 9SE (Grus) ) , Roms file Name would be xx.tgz like this, you will need to unzip the file and flash it using Miflash App... Make sure you should not select CLEAN AND LOCKED option in the Miflash.. use Clean only or somthing like that..Once the file is flashed..you will get the Global Rom but eith bootloader still unlocked

Thanks for that info!!
The device I'm getting already has Global Rom installed but my main concern was Google Play and Pay would work? Also NFC & Band 20?.. If all works then that's good..!
I've also read that it's better to put Miui.EU Rom, is that true?

Hi there I have the chance to get two of these good smartphones in China for a good price. The problem is that they have the Chinese rom on it and my parents need the italian language. Will it be possible to flash the global rom or just add the italian language?
Thanks.

Based on my experience b4 unlocking 5A, the only way you can switch from China to Global is to flash it via test point. Unless you've unlocked the phone, you could flash it via fastboot. Is your 5A unlocked yet?

Yep, that's all you need to do. After an unlock, you do have the option to relock your bootloader (which maybe you're already familiar with). The guide is on the miui forums. Good luck!

Got a new RN5 China version yesterday. It came with 9.5.12A Chinese ROM. I'm going to flash global ROM by myself to get all Google service and debloated. Found some posts here regarding flashing global from 9.5.13. However, have 2 questions now:
1. Someone warned bricked device due to xiaomi new restrictions released recently to prevent flashing global from on Chinese version. I may not be able to flash global from on Chinese version. (Yes I knew it's Chinese version as my the other one has English characters on the box, but this one has all Chinese characters). Is it possible now?
2. Will I get ota after flashing global from if q1 is yes?
If you only needed Google application like play store and used only English, thank look into this thread about Google installer:

Thanks, but I'd like to get rid of Chinese adware as well. The existing global version of note 5 works really well and that's why I bought another one. I got this one China version to avoid waiting time. But sadly xiaomi made things more complicated now. I hope I could flash it without bricking as it's fresh arrived last night. If bricked, money throwing in the water.
Unlock bootloader and flash global stable fastboot ROM.
Yes you will get OTA update
but dont lock bootloader after flashing global ROM
and you have to wait 360 to 720 hours before unlocking the bootloader

ok, it looks like i dont need 3rd party recovery at all. just flash using the official flashing tools.
got the dame 10.0.2 updates minutes ago and auto reboot to install.
maybe i have to flash some global rom with anti4 flag on.

Yes you have to flash global ROM which has anti4 or else MiFlash throws error message saying bootloader index value is lesser than the present bootloader index value
And there won't be any chances of bricking a device if you use MiFlash

Hello guys.
I recently bought this phone and wanted to use netflix, but didn't allow me because it outdated and said it was not compatible with my phone. So I did a bit of research and found a post in "mi community" that said it was because phone had bootloader unlocked. The phone was new and I didn't change anything of it, but I found the bootloader was unlocked.
Installed fastboot and adb drivers, locked bootloader and got myself into a... Brick?
-I can still load into fastboot.
-If I turn on the phone, It tries to load android but loads Mi-Recovery 3.0 instead. Recovery also says "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device"
I'm so lost from this point, I need to know if there is a way to flash any rom, and which one do I need.
Thanks in advice
stuck on recovery
Most likely a chinese phone that came with global rom. If it came with global rom try flashing chinese rom and then unlocking bootloader and reflash global. Do not lock bootloader after flashing global.

Thanks for your answer, that is exactly what I've.
The problem is I tried to flash a Chinese from but it always denie it. Tried to flash the last global rom and allows me to do it with the same program.
Not sure where I can get the official chinese rom or how to bypass the xiaomi protection.
Thanks for helping! Hope I can somehow do it
Locked bootloader
Try searching for tools below which might help.
Saki / XiaomiADBFastbootTools
XiaomiADBFastbootTools-6.5.1-Win
I had hard bricked mine and had to take back off and use EDL to revive.

I don't find the way to reboot (via software) to EDL from fastboot, is still possible to access it by opening the phone?

If you can flash global ROM. I think you just need to unlock bootloader and then flash China ROM once you have unlocked bootloader.

It lets me flash de global one, but when I try to do the same with chinese rom, it says the version is lower, so I can't "downgrade".
It's weird because according to version number, the global one was a few versions lower
Solved the issue
The same issue , i was also encountered , After Flashing with "Xiaomi_Mi_Max_3_V10.2.1.0.PEDMIXM_20190226.0000.00_Global_9.0" Mi Max 3 with the MiFlash20191206 tool , by default the tool used "Clear data and Lock".
The tool saying "Flashing" and my phone got rebooted and went to MI Recovery 3.0 and also i got the message as
"This MIUI version can't be installed on this device".
I am not clueless how to proceed. So downloaded the Chinese version and again i tried to flash with above tool. Now tool said that "Can't Erase Locked" phone.
So Now i connected to Miflash_unlock with fastboot and connected to mi account and again i unlocked the phone.
Now my phone automatically booted to the Global version.
So i hope the issue is selecting the option as "Clear data and lock" . We need to select only "Clear data" in the flash tool.

Hi there,
I encountered the same issue. I tried to flash some CN Rom without enough research, without knowing that you can't just flash an Android 10 rom from 9 directly by recovery (even TWRP). So I ended up Fastboot or TWRP but never able to boot into system. Fortunately I didn't flash my Max3 by fastboot rushly, so my phone was still unlocked.
This is how I solved it:
1. Download an official CN ROM (the below I used is MIUI 11 with Android 9.9.x);
I can't post link here but search "miui通过线刷升级" - you shall see a miui.com link ending with shuaji-393.html. That's the page I download the Mi Max3 ROM from.
2. Use MiFlash to flash the official ROM with the flash option "clean all", NOT "clean All and lock";
3. The phone shall reboot into system, give it 5-10 minutes;
4. Flash the miui.eu ROM you like (DO make sure it is Android 9 tho) by recovery (tutorial given under every official xiaomi.eu ROM download).
Again it's easy to search
It took me less than an hour to do it (I don't have much experience with new XiaoMi phone). So don't worry about bricking your phone forever.
Hope it helps to destress
Hi guys. I need some help too because I'm not totally sure what I have to do here so if anyone can give me some tips I would appreciate it.
I just ordered the 128gb 6gb ram version of Mi Max 3 and it might come with the global rom and already unlocked. Should I use the Mi flash tool to install the file MIUI 11 V11.0.3.0.PEDCNXM android 9 fastboot file? then after that installs I should lock the bootloader and then unlock it again myself with my mi own account? I just want to make sure that this is the correct way to do it.
Also after it I unlock it should I flash the newest xiaomi.eu rom with android 10 or do i have to do something else first? Thank you
Hi
I'm trying to install directly, from the phone update menu, from 12.0.4.0 EEA to 12.0.8.0 Global, but when I select the zip file downloaded I get an that says that it's impossible to downgrade.
My phone is actually locked.
Is it possible in other ways?
AFAIK, if I want to use Xiaomi Flash Tools, I have to unlock bootloader, it it correct?
Thanks

If I understand correctly you can't change firmware region unless bootloader unlocked.
And shouldn't lock bootloader once change region.
I did't know that! This is for a friend of mine phone, with mine I normally leave bootloader unlocked and then I root with Magisk.
In this case, I want just to unlock bootloader, put global version of stock MIUI 12 and then relock bootloader.
I've just done some search and it seems that it can't be done only on chinese stock rom.
But I'm not sure 100%, so just looking to be completely sure before proceeding.
For now, I'm just waiting the 168hrs before taking step 2 of unlocking bootloader.
Thanks
I succeded using XiaomiTool V2, an unofficial app, I've used on Windows 10, but it seems to be available also on Mac.
So, without unlocking the bootloader, now I am on 12.0.8.0 Global.
I received an error at end of the ROM installation (was VERY worried), but then all was ok...
I didn't know this tool, even if I have Xiaomi phones from several years, and it's written by an Italian guy...

After changing region, is everything working fine like the refresh rate switch and camera?
A bit sick of the UI but worried that since the 8 Pro + version is not available in Europe there may be issues. Is there anyone who tried this? Is it possible to install stock firmware from another region?

I know this doesn't answer the first part of your question directly but it works the other way. I have installed CN on my EU model. Interesting that there's a few extra settings in the CN such as updating the GPU directly.
I'm on the latest CN firmware V2.26 and the battery is much better but probably due to all the battery saving default settings.

Yes, you can change the payload_properties.txt in the rom of the region you want to flash. Change the text "nx729j_un" or "nx729j_**" for " NUBIA_SUBVERSION to "nx729j". Put the modified rom in the root directory and use local update. You do not have to unlock the bootloader to do this. If this does not work then you have to unlock the bootloader and flash the recovery of the rom in the region you want to change to and use sideload to flash the rom. However the second method might mess up your phone and you might not be able to boot your phone.

In the payload_properties.txt, change the text "nx729j_un" for " NUBIA_SUBVERSION to "nx729j". Put the modified rom in the root directory and use local update. You do not have to unlock the bootloader to do this. If this does not work then you have to unlock the bootloader by go to bootloader and in the command window type
fastboot flashing unlock
Follow the direction to unlock the phone
You need to extract the payload.bin from the CN rom, then use payload dumper or fastboot enhance to extract recovery.img from the payload.bin. Go to bootloader and flash the recovery of the CN rom (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
Then reboot to recovery, choose English when you see "Wipe data" type
adb reboot sideload
Once your phone boots into sideload mode (When you see the two error line at the bottom of the screen) type
adb sideload NX729J-update.zip (this is the CN rom you want to flash)
Whether the transfer is successful or not you can wipe the data and reboot the phone. If the transfer is successful you will be in the CN rom, if not you should be back to your own Global rom. The sideload will load the new rom to the other slot so it should not change the current slot.
I'm terms of unlocking the bootloader all I have to do is go into fastboot mode (with OEM unlock, USB debugger selected on the phone of course) and type in the "fastboot flashing unlock" command and whatever next steps I'm supposed to do? Also I have not set fingerprint and or security pin on this phone yet and I've read that people are having issues with them after unlocking bootloader. Is your bootloader unlocked? If so are you having pin/fingerprint issues and if not was there anything you need to do to avoid the issue when unlocking the bootloader? TY!
