First you'll need to unlock your bootloader, you can do it through the xiaomi site (Google it), after you unlock your bootloader successfully you can flash it through mi flash (there's alot of guides in XDA) but since there's no official fastboot global rom you will need to install xiaomi.eu which is in some cases better than the global

do i have to leave bootloader unlocked in order to prevent brick? where are those lovely guides?

Why not stay on China Rom ?
Except that the language is English, it works very well.
You have the least concern in this way.

Relock bootloader after flashing ROM Indonesia

SOLVED !!!: My Redmi Note 8 Pro is the Global Version, can I block the bootloader without brick risk after flashing the Indonesian ROM?

Some moderator could support me to move the thread to Redmi Note 8 Pro. Thank you
Edit: Thanks @strongst

I confirm that it is possible to close the bootloader after flashing the Indonesian ROM on a Redmi Note 8 Pro Global. To do this, use the MiFlash application and check the "clean all" option. Do not check the option "clean everything and block" in case there is a problem during or after the fhashing.
After I could confirm the ROM was multilingual and that everything worked fine (wifi, data, bluetooth, nfc, spearkers, etc.), I closed the bootloader, put my device in "fastboot" mode and executed the command "fastboot oem lock ".
Before closing the bootloader I didn't see the Netflix application in the Google Play store, after closing the bootloader there was no problem.

Yes. When you close the bootloader, you will have Netflix available and Google Pay.
I would appreciate it if you like the answers I have given you and that have worked for you.

They would really be the same steps for any Xiaomi team, so you just need to search the threads of some model. The only variant would be the ROM you need to download, which in this case It would be for the Redmi Note 8 Pro.
Follow the steps in the following link, everything is detailed, it will be good if you are a beginner. regards

Glad it worked for you! :good:
You probably were on a Global flavor of the phone aside from it having a Global Rom.
However I want to stress for others who may be reading this, that if I am not mistaking, based on posts I have read, if your device HW is Chinese flavor, it is absolutely not recommended to relock bootloader after flashing anything as it WILL result into bricking your device.
Edit:
That's exactly what's being said on the tutorial you provided above and that's where I had read about it actually
Here is the part in question.
Edit 2:
DO NOT RE-Lock the Bootloader if you change from China ROM to Global ROM in China phone. Re-Locking will BRICK your phone. Select only "Clean All" option before flashing.

It is right. I also add that you should not lock bootloader, if you have a Global HW and install a Chinese ROM, although hey, I don't know who would do that.

you have to lock in fastboot mode and make sure your MIUI version is the same as the device. for example your device base version is India and you have to flash it with the Indian version to lock the bootloader and make sure it's correct so it doesn't happen hard brick

[Question] how to re-lock / locking bootloader of Mi MAX 3 with EU ROM?

hi All,
i have mi max 3 (not sure if it is china hardware or global hardware), currently running MIUI 10 by XIAOMI.EU V10.3.2 Stable (PEDCNXM).
bootlooader is unlocked, but not rooted.
there is a game that i cant run because of the unlocked bootloader, and i dont want to root or and use magisk.
i read to relock, we must be in official ROM and then use miFlash to flash a rom and tick something says lock.
my question: how can i know which rom is the official rom for my phone?
i found this http://c.mi.com//miuidownload/detail?device=1700351
is that the right one? how do i know if mine is china model hardware or global? i also read once we install eu rom into china phone we cant go back to official rom?
if that rom is the correct one, its a simple as just use miflash to flash that ROM , select clean and lock?
if i need china official rom, where is it and will i be able to install google app suite after that (and change language to english)?
thank you.

To check the version of Xiaomi products, if it is original etc. access the site https://www.mi.com/global/verify and inform the IMEI of the cell phone.
Another thing, you should only block the bootloader if you are sure that the rom installed is the original one on the phone. if your xiaomi is chinese version the rom installed must be chinese otherwise you will screw with your phone. It will become paperweight!

3) Which is the Correct way of Flash
4) Should Flash Region-specific Rom or Global Rom would be better
I must surely get an answer at least from someone

You first need to read this great guide by RollDload https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/how-to-flash-a-stock-rom-alioth.4355797/ to understand how to flash stock MIUI in the right way.
I can't answere about device compatibilty between indian and Indonesian
I hope this will help you

Thank you bonerserk for the reference link

First of all I'm not a pro, so do it with your own risk. But, I knew few things since I've changed my Rom back and forth using ID ROM, EU, CN, and many others Custom Rom.
In response of ur questions:
1 & 3. I recommend using Mi Flash Tool. Download the tool, and the required ROM (the FASTBOOT one, since you want to use the ID ROM, there's only 12.5.6 version for the FASTBOOT Rom) using the thread link provided by @bonerserk follow the instructions CAREFULLY.
2. Didn't know the answer.
4. It depends on ur needs. If you just want to remove the Chinese Bloatware, then the Global Rom is suitable since it has less Chinese bloatware.

Thanks, @the.ogeph for the response - After reading the Flashing method come to know Xiaomi implement Anti Rollback features in Some Model - also in Mi11X I didn't get a three-dot option (Additional Features) on Settings->About Phone - Where Some Model has this option - Now I am confused is Mi11X has implemented this features or not? If I Try and stuck due to Anti Rollback then there is no solution available as of now.
Which Device do you have? I didn't find any Mi11X owner who tried this

That's why I recommend you to use Miflash tool. You could bypass the ARB Protection by editing the (.bat) file line command. Just google it or watch tutorial on Yt.
Please follow the instruction really carefully. I've soft bricked my phone once because I skipped 1 step.

Without using Custom Kernel and any other tweek, EU is the best for Battery Life. Try using EU MIUI 13 A12, its quite good for daily use.

Yes I've unlocked my phone, probably a week after I bought my F3 phone.
Probably I was wrong, but I don't believe you can change Rom (Stock or Custom) without unlocking ur phone.
EU has MIUI Dialer.

No, please do not flash (even Stock Rom with different region) with Miflash tool without unlocking ur Bootloader. I really don't think u can do that.

Yes - Definitely will not try with Locked Bootloader - Once unlocked then will try - But one more thing - After Unlock which Version I Should try of EU Rom - Currently I am using Global MIUI 12.5.7 Version

Unlocked bootloader Receive OTA ? or have to manually Push?

xiaomi.EU rom is a custom rom based on miui, so you need to unlock bootloader to install it and it didnt use miflash official tool to flash

But I have watched lots of videos where people change Xiaomi ROM with the different regions such as Global to EU, Indonesia, China with the locked bootloaders - for Only Mi11X not able to find any Source

No personal jabs or comments would be appreciated. Keep the discussion around the question.
@Corsariio please be informed that changing the firmware/unlocking and locking it would involve the risk of the device getting bricked.
Unless you have backup and are ready for taking that risk, please do not proceed.
the forum is open for discussion, but unless someone has done this personally and worked, there is no guarantee this would work, thus try this at your own risk.
Also if it's only regarding disabling the app drawer you can install any third-party launcher like Nova or MIUI launcher via apk and disable the stock launcher via ADB, which would solve your issue at hand.
Thanks,
Funk Wizard

Disclaimer: Try at your own risk.
First you need to remove rsa resistor then your Poco logo will be turned into Mi, now go to recovery mode and click mi assistant mode and temp unlock bootloader with dftpro, dtpro or egsm tool and flash redmi k40 china rom, now your poco f3 is converted to redmi k40 china.

there is simple way to convert without unlock bootloader, however it has disadvantage. if you do not like the rom for some reason, you can not revert back with same way, you have to unlock bootloader and flash previous rom or wait untill the latest rom released and do same way. as mentioned above, the disclaimer is same
1. Download your installed rom and latest china rom, rename your rom for example Ä.zip, and rename china rom B.zip
2. Open updater application and find A.zip and install it, once updater still checking go back to file manager and rename A.zip become C.zip for example, and rename B.zip become A.zip. by mistake the updater will install china rom instead of your rom.
Do it fast, otherwise the updater will detect the rom not compatible.

Why would I want to convert F3 to K40 at all, I wonder?
