Question is redmi k40 and poco f3 the same device? same custom recovery and custom rom? - Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40

or whats the difference?

Yes they are the same. Only difference is the MIUI that's bundled with it. All custom ROMs on this forum support K40 and Poco F3.

Hello
If they are the same is possible to instal the original MIUI ROM instead the MIUI FOR POCO?

hello!
Identical phone.
POCO F3 is just a rebrand of the Redmi k40 made for the global market outside of china (mi 11x is the rebrand made for the indian market).
The MIUI changes, precisely because they are marketed in different countries.
From what I have read it is possible to install Chinese stock roms on global phones (only with unlocked bootloader and being careful of the anti roolback) but not the other way around.
For castom roms there should be no compatibility problems, as for recovery. However in the thread of each castom rom it says in which phone it is possible to install it.

I have a mi 11x with unlocked bootloader and poco f3 global installed. Any way I can lock the bootloader with poco f3 global official rom? Couldn't find a confirmed answer.

You can lock the bootloader only with the rom of the region the phone was born with. If when you bought it there was the stock india and you flashed the stock global, blocking the bootloader goes into brick. The bootloader can only be locked with the original firmware. make sure, when you block, that there is the original rom on the phone, if not, it goes into brick

good to know it, it should be written with big red letters!

It's quite interesting because with my old Mi9 I can swap regions even with locked BL but trick was with MI ASSISTANS or something like this (XiaoMiTool V2 software).
Is it possible with F3 as well? If not - why? Some kind of info inside one of the partition? Or because A/B system?

Personally i haven't tried that software to change region with locked bootloader, i can't tell you if it works or not.
However, I do not recommend carrying out any modding operation with a locked bootloader, it is very risky, and if there are problems it is very difficult to restore it.
Since unlocking the bootloader does not invalidate the warranty and is accepted by xiaomi, it is the best solution to carry out modding operations with the least possible risk of brick.

This is not true. I have a Redmi K40 purchased in China, and I can install global ROMs just fine (Xiaomi.eu, EEA, etc).

Redmi 6 pro with ROM A2 Lite is possibility?

it would be possible to load the global rom of A2 Lite in Redmi 6 pro, thanks
If it's like the Mi 5X and Mi A1 situation (and probably it is), the answer is no.
If you want to risk (but I warn you that the risk to brick your phone is high, and it's all your responsibility, you can flash the full Mi A2 Lite ROM from here via MiFlash or via fastboot. If something goes wrong you can try to flash back the Redmi 6 Pro ROM from here, always via MiFlash or fastboot.
EDIT: I downloaded the full ROMs of both phones, and after a quick comparison, I can see that they use a different partitioning scheme (classic for 6Pro, A/B type for A2L), so 99,9% a direct ROM flash won't work (just like Mi A1).
thank friend, I will not try.
I need global versión for spanish lenguaje.
thanks again for solving my question.
Why don't you use the Xiaomi.eu version?
First of all, you must unlock the bootloader of your phone.
Then you need a working TWRP. This one is confirmed working but you need to register in this German forum to download it.
Then go to Xiaomi.eu forum and download the latest beta for HM6Pro (I usually prefer the stable version, but it's not ready yet for 6Pro) and flash it via TWRP.
I have some doubt
the unlocking of the bootloader is the same as for A1 and all Xiaomi?
What is the latest beta version?
sorry for my ignorance
Very thanks.

No, for the MIUI phones this is the unlocking process (it's the tutorial for the Redmi Note 4X, but it works for every MIUI phone).
For the Android One phones (i.e. Mi A1, Mi A2 and Mi A2 Lite) the unlocking is extremely simpler.
Sirkaoss said:

You can find the latest beta here.
Go to the newest directory and search for the ROM with the name "xiaomi.eu_multi_HM6Pro..." (remember that HM6Pro is your phone code, while its nickname is "sakura"). If you can't find the image for your phone on the newest directory, search it on the second newest directory, and so on.
There is usually a new beta every 7 days, but you don't need to update every week if the phone is working without problems.
okay friend, I'll try. Thank you very much for the help. If I have any doubt I will bother you again.

No.
As I said above, you cannot flash A2 Lite ROM on Redmi 6 Pro. That means you cannot flash Redmi 6 Pro ROM on A2 Lite, too.
I would like to do the opposite. Installing the xiaomi.eu on the MiA2 Lite as I prefer MIUI over AOSP interface.
Is it possible without risks? I fear the double partition prevent me from succeding

It's not very safe to do, and 99% it will not work. But if you want to take the risk, do it. Just keep ready the daisy fastboot ROM for fixing. And don't lock the bootloader or the damage will be unrecoverable.
May be my question is stupide, but is it possible to change the partitioning scheme from A/B type to classic for example. If it will be, can changing easy the ROM? Or something else? If it possible, how can I do this?
Thank you!

I already wrote how it could be possible: flashing the Redmi 6 Pro ROM in EDL mode.
But you need permission from Xiaomi to flash in EDL mode, and you can flash only one time for account.
You can ask for permission on en.miui.com forum.
And, as I said, I would not try that on my phone.
I have already unlocked the bootloader but I have a question, and tried to install the ROM through Xiaomi miflash and I get error (miflash can not found file flash_all_lock.bat). Also read in this forum that there is possibility of bricked for version 9.6.17.0, this is true?
Any Update ? OR Any Improvement ?
O Have mi A2 Lite, Android one don't like me. Miui.eu Rock!!! Anyone port this ROM please

Flashing Global ROM on a chinese Mi6 version

If I flash Global ROM on my chinese version of Mi6 and lock the bootloader (since I want to sell the phone), will it brick it?
I heard of some cases that flashing Global and locking the bootloader on a chinese Xiaomi will brick it, but I don't know if this is for newer models or all models like the Mi6.
I bought my Mi6 from China and I am flashing everything without any problem

Question Locking bootloader on a different global region rom?

Hi,
I have the global variant of the xiaomi 13 pro. And want to unlock the bootloader to put a global EEA rom on to it.
Can I relock the bootloader in the global EEA? Or should I have it unlocked?

If you have a global version (model 2201122G)
you can lock the bootloader.
Global is better than EEA.

Waaauw I dindt know this!
So recap/summirized:
If you have a Global version (G), and running a Global ROM and unlock the bootloader and going to Global -> EEA OR -> INDIA OR-> Turkey ROM , I can relock the bootloader right?
Except, If you have a CN (China) version , going to Global -> Global OR -> EEA OR -> INDIA OR --> Turkey , Dont lock the the bootloader, only lock the bootloader on the CN ROM/Device,
There is another Devp. ROM Xiaomi.EU and there you can relock the bootloader after you flashed to this?
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Exact except
"There is another Devp. ROM Xiaomi.EU and there you can relock the bootloader after you flashed to this?"
No need to re lock the bootloader (brick) or to root with a Xiaomi EU rom; the play store is certified and the banking apps work.

Hi,
It seems to me that only 2 models exist:
Global 2210132G (with rom from different regions) CN 2210132C (only Chinese rom).
Check version: My phone/Detail information/Model.
Global devices - you must not lock the bootloader with a Chinese ROM or a custom ROM
Chinese devices - you must not lock the bootloader with Global ROM or custom ROM.

You were lucky not to brick your device with Miflash using the flash_all_lock.bat file.

Yep, but you have to unlock the bootloader first then use Miflash.
Your phone will not be better with an EEA rom (rom for Europe), for example you will have a limited sound volume.
The best (in my humble opinion) are the Xiaomi Eu roms.
