Can I flash MIUI 12 rom on my Indian Note 8 pro model? - Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers

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.

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.

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 !

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.

Yes
Just bear in mind that if you install the global beta, you can't go back to the global stable , otherwise you'll end up bricking your device. I'd recommand you stay with the stable versions until this whole anti-rollback dust settles in.
Silver91 so if Xiaomi Released the Rom and i want to go back stable again i cannot?

you are in 9.5.19.0 thats ARB4
dont flash miui10 8.7.5
or globa stablel 9.5.17.0
this are ARB3 and any older version
you cant go back to this or older versions.
but you can flash new upcoming versions. after 9.5.19.0 new versions you can also miui 10 after 8.7.6
So i can go from MIUI 10 beta to MIUI 10 stable when it's officially released but i can't downgrade to any older versions Right?

Question Removing VIDA ROM and flashing VIVA ROM. HELP!

I currently have the Redmi Note 11 Pro 4G Indian (VIDA) currently on miui V13.0.5.0.RGDINXM
I want to flash a different ROM, which is Redmi Note 11 Pro 4G global (VIVA) currently on miui V13.0.8.0.RGDMIXM
I want to change Rom regions because India version is slow to recieve updates compared to Global.
For example, since Redmi Note 11 Pro was released, india was only given 1 update. Global was given 4 updates. I attached pictures for all of you to see
I know that the difference between VIDA & VIVA is that VIVA has NFC and VIDA does not have NFC.
If I flash VIVA ROM on to VIDA Device, will I experience any problems. I will flash it by using Choose Update Package method in MIUI Updater Settings.
Does anyone know?
Test it

If your bootloader is unlocked you can always try to flash a global viva fastboot ROM.

I haven't tried on this model, but before that I used to own a Chinese Poco M3 Pro 5G, I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the global variant and it worked. So I would say that it's most likely going to work, the ROM is basically the same
