Because according to my online seller it does.
Question roughly translates to: Which ROM? If I encounter any issues can you help to claim the warranty (to China)?
He answered "Global ROM. Yes I can help"
But the question now is: does a global official stable ROM even exist for this phone? Isn't it China-only?
I bought the MI 5s Plus 64 GB in China a few days ago. I can confirm you there is no Global ROM yet. However, the stock Chinese ROM has English as language. You can also install Google Play Store and uninstall any bloatware default apps.
There is an Unofficial EU ROM if you wish to try.

I got the Mi5s (not plus) last week and it shipped with miui 8 global rom including pretty much any language not just english and chinese!
Please note that the MIUI rom could be manipulated by the guy who installed it. Currently there is no official global rom from Xiaomi for the 5s. All the currently sold ones with Global ROM are unpacked by the seller and reinstalled with some MIUI rom, which could be manipulated. Also OTA updates won't work with those mobiles
I'm also waiting for an official global rom, it's just not sure yet if there will be one.
I bought this phone with chinese rom and I was going to flash global rom as soon as it is released. but I'm not planning to change the rom anymore. I have debloated it myself and I'm happy with it at the moment.
I have to admit, I'm pretty disappointed. I honestly didn't realize I wouldn't be getting official MIUI.
Is there any particular way for me to see if there is any harmful backdoor software installed? So far this "global ROM (8.6.10.0)" seems solid enough, all functions seem to work except that when I go into the updater and try to choose an install package it tells me to install file explorer first....
I'm downloading the stable, official Chinese ROM right now... Not sure if I'll install it or not though...

I got such a vendor "global" rom, tried to flash with official chinese zip, did not work -> verification problem.
unlocked bootloader, flashed twrp and xiaomi eu rom based on official chinesese developer rom..
Will wait for global rom as chinese rom is too much bloated..
If they launch it in india(hope so), global rom will exist, otherwise xiaomi eu forever...

All good for me except fingerprint (may be due to plastic cover.. will try later after receiving my tempered glass)
I have an mi account which i used for unlocking..
You can create an account then use this link
http://en.miui.com/unlock/
Once they approve they will send a mail with link to download the unlocking software
You should install that, then run it and login in that..
You can unlock it there
install required tools- fastboot ... drivers.. (for me standard android sdk was sufficient...)
After installing those..
You should shutdown device completely then hold volume down and power button at same time to enter fastboot mode
Then connect mobile using cable to your pc
below command should list your device once connected...
fastboot devices
Download the twrp from link given here http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5s/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-2-0-t3480133
make sure that its for proper device (mine is mi5s not plus)
if it a zip extract the img file.. then type command
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
then to boot in to recovery
fastboot boot twrp.img
my twrp defaults to chinese so to change language refer video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOhR92EKD7A
download xiaomi eu for your device
from here https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/6-10-20.35693/
Then follow standard twrp flashing guidelines..
You can find it everywhere ( >>> Factory Reset >> Wipe select partitions >> install from internal memory if you already copied it there OR sideload using adb from pc)
PS: (I had formatted system partition as well without issues)
my back button was not working properly but after reboot it was ok..
Thank you very much [email protected] for the explanation.
I will try the procedure today evening when i'm home from work.
Update:
worked fine for me. Thank you very much!
Thanks for all the replies, but went ahead and bought the Note 4 instead. Camera is my only complaint against it, otherwise it's a really great first experience with Xiaomi!

I just bought 5s 128 GB in Malaysia which is directly import (not from official dealer) with Stable Global ROM 8.0.10.0.0 (MAGCNDH) Build MXB48T as per attached. There is no bloatware and quite stable.
Can anyone confirm it is a real global ROM from Xiaomi or a modified ROM?

The additional 0 at the end of the MIUI version and the CN in the MAGCNDH shows that it is a chinese ROM which was manipulated.
So you won't be able to update it, and I at least could not unlock the bootloader because the xiaomi tool did not recognize it as a xiaomi phone....
So I built me a deep flash cable and flashed chinese official ROM, unlocked it and flashed TWRP and xiaomi.eu ROM....

Any Guide for that? Or a video guide?
Check this here, source: http://en.miui.com/thread-390697-1-1.html
Here is what I did to get an official ROM instead of the malware infected 8.6.10.0:
At first I have to mention that using the EDL Method is very dangerous because you will probably brick your phone if it goes wrong.
If you are not sure about something better ask here before doing anything wrong. The phone should have a full battery and save all your files because the phone will be wiped during the proccess.
Step 1. Download the latest official MIUI Fastboot ROM for Mi 5s:
http://bigota.d.miui.com/V8.0.10.0....AGCNDH_20160805.0000.29_6.0_cn_49ab3a5120.tgz
(!!! Important - When flashing the ROM with the Xiaomi FlashTool in the step 3. you have browse into the /images Folder. - Browsing into the wrong folder and flashing wrong files will probably brick your phone !!!)
Step 2. Turn your phone into EDL Mode:
http://xiaomitips.com/guide/how-to-put-mi-5-into-edl-mode/
(Use Option #1 - Option #2 and #3 does not work)
Step 3. Use this Tutorial to flash the Fastboot ROM to your device. Use Method #3 , as Method #1 and #2 does not work anyway with the fake ROM 8.6.10.0.
http://xiaomitips.com/guide/how-to-flash-miui-8-fastboot-and-recovery-rom/
( Skip Step 4,5,6 because your phone is already in the EDL Mode)
This helped me out go get the official Chinese ROM 8.0.10.0. Out of this ROM you can use the MIUI Updater function in the phone to install any other official ROM for the Mi 5s.

There will never be a global ROM for this phone.
It's a China only device.
I still have a little hope that they might start to sell it in India, which typically means there will be a global rom. But so far nothing is announced, so at the moment there is no hope for an official and signed global rom.

My Mi 5s has the same ROM and it works flawlessly. Benchmark results are far ahead compering to those from reviews on YouTube. I was able to unlock bootloader in first try, no problem. If you use Windows 10 make sure to load proper drivers. I don't believe that any reseller is able to compile such perfectly working ROM. It must be Xiaomi that stay behind this, but this is what I believe. As you sad all languages are there and even some you don't find in official global ROM. I will keep this one until official global I released. Be patient.

you can use xiaomi tool kit (search on google) to flash any custom recovery. then flash a good rom (currently miui 10 is best for me.) flash magisk if you want root stuffs or go with flashing lazy flasher after miui rom. reboot, done!

I have downloaded miui 10 global fastboot rom. What is orange fox? I already unlocked bootloader..
Hi @ridersam
Need some advices from you. I am interested in installing Custom Rom on my Redmi 5 Plus. The one I am referring to is Android P Vince (already got hold of the step by step instructions). My concerns :-
1. Waiting to unlock my bootloader in the next few days (Redmi 5 Plus) with root too and to install Red Wolf Recovery (fastboot to install the standard twrp). The default is OrangeFox-R6-Beta-vince.zip recovery
2. From standard twrp to flash Red Wolf Recovery instead of OrangeFox recovery. Can I do that?
3. Going to install Android P Vince custom rom in Redmi 5 Plus (serial of steps instruction from the devs). Done and reboot as my daily driver.
4. Can this Red Wolf Recovery be used like normal twrp recovery for other custom rom or backup and/or restore not only Redmi 5 Plus?
5. Through fastboot I can also install Red Wolf Recovery, right! Do I have to rename the file like recover.img rather the actual name RedWolf-Unofficial-vince-2.img? Another method to install recovery.
Thank you
I have a question
Does the aosp ROMs, pixel experience and such are using the open sources of Vince that Xiaomi released months ago?

[ASK] [MIUI 10] Install unknown sources apk
I've installed MIUI 10 via updater app today, following a factory reset from MIUI 9.6.4. I didn't use fastboot method bcs I'm just lazy lol.
Today i tried installing Sony Music App apk which I had on my previous MIUI.
After finished installing, the screen says "App not installed"
Any idea how to work around this? The install permission setting of unknown sources is confusing as you need to allow each app you would like to open apk from. And no, this is not because screen filter app which restricts you from pressing the install button, I don't use such app and i get to press the install button.
Then i tried enabling it from all my file explorer app, even manually enabling the PackageInstaller system app to install from unknown sources. The problem persisted so i try downloading other apk from another mirror site, and nothing is working.
I'm currently on the 8.8 update of MIUI 10.
Help appreciated.

What you should try is to flash Oreo miui or firmware, and then install lastest orangeFox. Oreo firmware fixed my error 7 problem. Currently using Bootlegger's rom. Just make sure to not brick your whyred while doing this.
I am currently using Mi 11X (aliothin) running on Pixel Experience. The rom is pretty smooth, but is still a bit buggy at places and lacks stock features like the camera, dolby, memc etc. Recently, Xiaomi has been rolling out the 12.5 enhanced edition globally for alioth devices, which supposedly should be very smooth, with great battery life. Can you comment on this based on your experience?
Can you give me a link to that enhanced edition? I have been using Xiaomi.eu Custom ROM with Root, its ok. I would prefer Vanilla Android, but I need some Stock features, like MIUI Dolby Atmos and the camera-app
I have been trying to install it on my Poco F3. I have watched the YouTube videos by Munchy, but I can't get it to work by update or flashing in twrp. Guess I will have to wait until it rolls out to me.

You can only flash with TWRP or recovery stock. "Mi flash" flashes only fastboot roms and 12.5.3. global is not yet available in fastboot.
But I don't know if the flash of a beta works well.
If you do, let us know how it went.
Good flash ...
If anyone download, does this finally have performance mode toggle inside battery?

I don't like the answers you've got... It should be possible to flash via miui directly . That's the best way if possible as you will avoid all the potential bugs and slowdowns from the buggy twrps we have....
Open settings , about phone , open updates and tap on the center of the screen on the picture above where it says 12.5 lots of times just like how you open developer options - you have to click like 5-10 times idk....
Afterwards it will say additional options unlocked , click on top right menu , click on choose update package and point it towards the miui download.
It should work...

I imagined that with the traditional method it would not work due to verification, because after this post I read that the beta is intended for those who are part of the beta test program with their account.
I also figured that the stock flash would overwrite the twrp.
I am glad that the rollout of the enhanced version has begun, thanks for your valuable information regarding twrp.
My f3 has less than 48 hours to unlock the bootloader and I can't wait to try new roms. If the fastboot version is released in these two days I try to flash with miflash.

IDK, but after installing the latest OTA update ( 12.5.3.0) Enhanced Version,
1: My device reboots randomly, sometimes boots into fastboot mode.
2: No noticeable change in battery performance.
3: Themes & Icons Packs won't work properly.
4: Cant choose to re-install the same OTA from the update section.
5: Fixed bugs related to Haptics & Launcher.
Overall, No noticeable improvement in end-user experience.

Please note that it is still in beta so there may be some bugs.
Your phone was born with the global?
Did you have any problems installing it?
Watch this video by Munchy:
Enhanced Edition has barely any changes. No performance improvements. You can lowkey call it a scam.

I actually hope someone answers this question because this phone is very different than any other phone I have and it's hard figuring out the best way to do things on it.

The best way is to flash the stock with miflash. (Remember to select the checkbox at the bottom right on clean-all, do not flash with clean and lock otherwise lock the bootloader. To some he sent the phone in brick just this forgetfulness) I strongly advise against using twrp to flash the stock!

I thought most people or everyone really liked Xiaomi EU over stock rom. I thought EU was a cleaned up verison of stock rom basically. Does it have Google play services?

I am using xiaomi.eu at the moment.
So, xiaomi.eu is a custom rom that takes Chinese stock as a basis and adapts it to global use, like adding Google services, translations for many languages and removing all Chinese apps. I prefer it to the global stock because being based on the chinese stock it has the fastest updates and functions that xiaomi puts only in the chinese rom. Also because the global roms is developed by poco So not directly from xiaomi and it is not said that they include all the features that xiaomi includes on the Chinese stock.

Right now I'm crdroid 7.11 android 11 with twrp installed. When looking at the rom files for EU I've noticed that they have some versions that look like this xiaomi.eu_multi_HMK40_POCOF3_21.10.27_v12-12-fastboot.zip and than ones that look like this
xiaomi.eu_multi_HMK40_POCOF3_V12.5.14.0.RKHCNXM_v12-11.zip
What's the difference? And if I wanted to flash EU with Twrp from crdroid could I? Could I also just flash back to crdroid if I wanted to also? Thanks

The first is Android 12 weekly beta and can only be flashed via fastboot with the appropriate file that is inside the package.
The high is stable android 11 and can only be flashed via twrp.
I don't know if it works if the flashi from crdroid, I have not tried, it might or might not, at most if it doesn't work you install the stock with miflash and the flashi from there ...

Thank you, you have been much help I've been reading through threads and telegram for days now looking for the answers but couldn't find them. This phone is so popular things become cluttered and hard to find. I don't think I have ever seen a phone with as much development and that's surprising when I have a Nexus 6.

YES
But bootloader will remain unlocked.
If you want it locked, like virgin phone, you must use a called fastboot rom via MIFLASH tool.
Select the right rom version at XIAOMI ROm download site.
Flash it first without locking, boot your phone (you don't have to configure it, even you shouldn't because of incoming reset), and if all is good, flash it once again with locking bootloader.
