Question Do you need to unlock the bootloader in order to upgrade from Global Miui -> EEA Miui ? - Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40

So I downloaded this "Incremental Update" file for the latest EEA Miui version (12.5.6) and I was wondering if it is possible to update to it from my global 12.5.4 version without losing any data?

No you can not!
Because the global and the eea are two different rom.
If you want miui 12.5.6_EEA you have to:
1)Unlock the bootloader;
2)Flash fastboot full version 12.5.6 with miflash.

Wrong its possible without unlocking bootloader, I did it yesterday.
On my X3 Pro from EEA to Global. I made it with XiaomiToolV2 but use the Local Zip File option that works.

I dont think so. It works fine for me but I still did a factory reset after the update (just to be sure), no problems so far. Im using the phone since yesterday. I even got OTA update from 12.5.4.0 to 12.5.5.0 and it was successful

You can actually. I've switched from Global rom to India rom without unlocking bootloader with no problems before. I've even locked it by an accident when i was coming back from Xiaomi.eu rom (not EEA) and it worked perfectly fine. Then I've unlocked again and went back to custom roms. Just don't flash China rom. My phone is Global variant if it helps.

yes, it is possible, (I haven't personally tested that software) but using the full package and not the incremental upgrade.
However, it is not recommended to do any modding operation with a locked bootloader, because if any problem occurs in the process it is more complicated to solve it.
Let's say it is much safer to do these operations with an unlocked bootloader.

Yes it's very dangerous with a locked bootloader. Be careful. You risk bricking your phone and not being able to flash again.

I've tried it and it's safe. to make sure it's safe please first check the current ARB version and make sure it's the same as the ARB version for the MIUI ROM that will be flashed for downgrade..

Bro do you have begonia and was your anti version of your phone 1 also can you provide me the link of you miui 11 a9 rom
The ARB is always 1 in every ROM distribution for begonia. Is ARB a thing in MTK devices?
Anyway, just downgrade via miflash, and never lock your bootloader, i.e. choose "flash only" or "keep userdata", but for downgrading android, you may encounter some issue that solvable by factory reset.

you can find it here https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/begonia/ and make sure the ROM is in accordance with your device both from the region and the ROM code, make sure you have unlocked the bootloader to increase the MIUI version and downgrade the MIUI version by using the mi flash tool (recommended)

Updating OTA after TWRP install

Hi all, i have unlocked the bootloader of my Note 8T and installed the latest TWRP, i was going to install xiaomi.eu ROM, but sadly things has gone "bad", when i try to format, it fails, giving me a lot of red errors lines, ending with Operation not permitted, so i stopped there and flashed back the stock MIUI ROM through Xiaomi Flash Tool. Now since the issues with TWRP, I'm wondering how can i update when i will receive new updates via OTA? I think i wouldn't be able to do that with TWRP since the errors it gives me just formating. You guys think i would be able to update by downloading the fastboot update and flash it through Mi Flash Tool?
MichaelMay said:
You'll recieve new OTA updates, the recovery (TWRP before, stock now) has been replaced completely and TWRP is no longer your recovery.
I know what the initial problem is as well, you need another TWRP and if you had just read the forums you'd already know that and all of this could have been avoided.

I'm sorry, but i've used the latest TWRP for Ginkgo/Willow as xiaomi.eu requires. Also i've read of other users trying others recovery and encountering the same issue anyway.
You try this way https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ion-errors-all-the-time.4203951/post-84523785

So flashing this Miui HellasTWR recovery should fix the issue? I can flash it through fastboot, or i have to flash it by the recovery (TWRP in my case) as shown on the video? Thanks for your help.
Me too but still OTA the latest version of miui eu 24-2-2021

I did and ran out of red error line by this flash Miui HellasTWRP recovery -> HellasTWRP will ask for password (lock screen password), data will be decoded and now you can install custom rom according to Conventional way (4 wipe).
Note that updates only via twrp are not available via OTA

So MIUI HellasTWRP Recovery is the cure for the issue? That's Nice! I'm going to try again then. A little question, did you flash the HellasTWRP through fastboot adb mode? Thanks for letting me know!
Yes, flash by adb mode

Ok, will do but i was a bit confused since it said global but the name referring to EEA which EU..... didn't wanna brick the phone.
Also do i have to be unlocked to upgrade?
Yeah, True. EEA is EU and Mi is global. Its confusing. I guess if you try to Update manually with inbuilt Updater (three dot) the Phone will only Flash correct Roms because without open bootloader you cant switch from EU to global oder Chinese etc.
It's quite tricky because as I checked with Mi9 you can swap regions hassle free with XiaoMiTool V2. Even with locked BL. Here, with F3 I haven't checked yet because... I'm a bit scared of getting a brick :/
With stock recovery you can easy upgrade (with correct FW ofc). Go to updater app in settings, tap at MIUI12 logo few times until some text appears. Then, 3 dots and choose local file with FW and go ahead with updating. I have done it to 12.5.6 (stable beta).

There is no beta, it's only stable....if im choosing the correct FW
Apologise, I downloaded it from somewhere else where it shows as stable beta (whatever it is - they also said is stable but not fully send to users).
But yeah, go ahead with full recovery rom.

Cheers, downloading rn.
I just click the 3 dots and all should be good? I'm locked with BL also.
Thanks in advance.
Click it and check if you have option like choose update package. If not, you must tap at miui_logo as long and you see 'additional update features are on' notification.

Fastboot roms can be flashed from the Mi flash apps
Recovery roms are flashed from device settings page, but if it's a beta rom you will need a mi account that is in the china beta program
There's a magisk module that will allow you to skip that account check, you need to be rooted
Can you give me a link to download the magisk module? I will install the stock chinarom and upgrade from there. Thanks
