Xiaomi Mi 5s & Xiaomi Amazfit to use in German - Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers

Hello,
I've ordered a Xiaomi Mi 5S and a Xiaomi Amazfit Smartwatch. Since I want to change both in German, I need your help. Which Rome is the best for the German language and how do I get the clock set in German?
Many Thanks

I use xiaomi.eu weekly update roms.

I use @xiaobai112220 s unofficial LineageOS ROM and do really appreciate it, as long as there is no official release of the source files from xiaomi...

Is the "EU Version" the same as the "Global Version"? - Mi Max 3

I'm trying to buy a Mi Max 3 Global version on Ebay but sellers are really confusing me with their listing titles.
One seller is selling the Mi Max 3 but it's "EU Version". As far as i'm aware, there's only two versions out right now correct?
1. Global version with english box and EU charger - (NO ROM)
2. China version with chinese box and china charger - (Fake or official global ROM's installed by the seller)
Is it possible the seller is mistaking the "EU Version" as the "Global Version"? Or is "EU Version" actually another possible version that I'm not aware of?
I messaged the seller on Ebay asking if the "Global version" and "EU version" is the same?; and this is what they replied to me:
"Thank you for contacting us! This model is official EU version, compare to China version with global rom it's Xiaomi's official EU version.
But unfortunately on the box it doesn't state it's EU version but please rest assured it comes with EU charger and AU adapter, and it's in English, and because of environment protection issue, we no longer provide physical manuals, but we can provide English e-manual for you, thank you!"
It comes with Xiaomi.eu ROM

Xiaomi.eu is/is not '' Official Xiaomi" software I think???
This is a question, as I want to buy 6GB Max 3, but don't want any enthusiasts home cooked ROM, not on day 1 anyway, maybe later.
Xiaomi.eu is a custom ROM prepared by Xiaomi enthusiasts in Europe. They take the Chinese MIUI beta and stable ROMs, completely strip them of Chinese language and bloatware, install Google apps (illegal in China) tweak the ROM for better performance, and add dozens of European language options (the Chinese ROMs only offer Mandarin and English). The developer s are very professional and update their beta ROMs every week.
Therr is only 2 version of Max 3. One is chinese version and the other global version. A lot of seller say "internation version" which is chinese version with global rom/fake rom or custom rom (xiaomi.eu).
Also some seller print a sticker with global version but its fake, its chinese.

Thank you for complete answer. :highfive:
So this is what you use, how about Android monthly security updates, do they come to you?
And no problems with sensitive apps, banks etc?
Now my big itch is-----I want a Blue MI Max 3, Only seen 6GB available up to now with Chinese/Dealer roms.. Don't want that!
If as you state Xiaomi eu is trustworthy ROM would go for that too.
Thanks again.
I don't think it's a simple. Personally I have the 4gb 64gb Global version, since I wanted the locked bootloader. Xiaomi.eu (I'm not sure) should be flashable only with unlocked bootloader, so you could have problem with certain bank app. As far as I know, 6/128 global version doesn't exist, therefore it comes with Chinese ROM or xiaomi.eu but (I assume) with unlocked bootloader. Someone here having the 64/128 can confirm you this.

I have an officially unlocked bootloader and Magisk with the xiaomi.eu ROM. It passes saftey-net and I use Google Pay and my various banking apps without any problem.

I have a problem with Riru Module. It ignores the screen timeout and the screen stays awake. Do you have the same issue?

Difference between MIUI V10.2.2.0 PFBEUXM and V10.2.2.0 PFBMIXM

Hello, I wanted to download a stock firmware for my Xiaomi Mi 9 SE. It shipped with rom: V10.2.2.0 PFBEUXM.
The only download links I could find are for V10.2.3.0 PFBEUXM and V10.2.2.0 PFBMIXM.
I'd like to know what's the difference between those two and whether I can use V10.2.2.0 PFBMIXM on a PFBEUXM phone.
From what I've seen those characters reference region the phone is meant for, but I've met "MI" code only with V10.2.2.0 and I wonder whether it is some kind of "universal" rom.
Thanks in advance for your help.
"EU" is for EEA (European Economic Area) specific & "MI" is for Global for general. the difference is usually from SIM support

Updating phone's firmware

Hello,
I've just come up with a question regarding the update of the phone's firmware.
As far as I know, there's only one version of this phone (in the sense that there aren't Global/China/India versions) but depending on where you buy it comes with one or another version of MIUI.
Seeing that on XiaomiFirmwareUpgrade we can choose between 3 different versions of firmwares (global, EEA, India and China) my question is: does it even matter what firmware version do we install on our phone?
Or even clearer: can we safely use the weekly Chinese firmware even if we use our phone in any other country or part of the world (let's say America or Europe) or will we experience performance/connectivity issues?
Thank you very much.
Yes it does matter
China version will have a load of bloat apps designed for the Chinese Market that will be totally useless outside of China. Probably will have a load of other stuff included which will not function correctly outside of China.
EEA version is specifically for Europe which complies with GDPR laws so if you're not bothered about that you could use the global version instead.
I'd stick with what ever comes on your device in terms of stock rom.
If you're going to unlock the bootloader you might as well flash a custom rom
There are two different device boards of "this phone", both with slightly different hardware (camera module e.g.) and accompanying different Firmware (also note that the concept Firmware and ROM is not the same, i.e. the official ROM's contain specific Firmware to 'control specific hardware' next to the Android version, apps, scripts, ...). There are also three different device models and three different device names. All these serve five different regions, ...
1. Xiaomi
Device Board: GAUGUIN
Device Model: M2007J17G
Device Name: Mi 10T Lite
Regional Products: Global, EEA and Taiwan
-> all have different ROM content (obviously for the different regions) and will only work best on this specific device board (only these are interchangeable). This is also Xiaomi's official Android Enterprise Recommended Smartphone
2. Xiaomi
Device Board: GAUGUINPRO
Device Model: M2007J17C
Device Name: Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G (China Region)
3. Xiaomi
Device Board: GAUGUINPRO
Device Model: M2007J17I
Device Name: Mi 10i (India Region)
-> all have different ROM content (obviously for the different regions) and will only work best on this specific device board (only 2. and 3. are interchangeable).

Thanks to both of you for taking the time to answer this thread.
I've just checked, and my device is the M2007J17G.
My question was regarding not the ROM (as I've already flashed a custom rom) but the firmware.
On the XiaomiFirmwareUpdater website (https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/gauguin/) there are different types of firmware for the "gauguin" model: China, India, Global and Europe.
Right now I am using the last weekly Chinese firmware (21.7.21) on my MI 10T Lite, but I wanted to know if installing the European "version", for example, would make any difference, as from what I've read, the firmware contains the modem and other connectivity related things.
Hope my questions is clearer now.
Thanks!
We both answered your question quite well, although in a different way. Please also read:
PSA: Flashing MIUI Global on these Xiaomi devices may brick your device
If you flash MIUI Global ROM on certain Xiaomi devices with a locked bootloader, your device will not boot. Here are the Xiaomi devices that could brick.
www.xda-developers.com
Don’t flash official GAUGUINPRO ROM/FirmWare/Vendor on a GAUGUIN device or vise versa, as it does make a difference (you said it yourself "the firmware contains the modem and other connectivity related things"). It could lead to all kind of (future) problems and even ‘brick’ your device (if you try to relock it with MiFlash). Don't push your 'luck' any further !
You’re free to flash any official Global, EEA or Taiwan ROM/Firmware/Vendor to your Mi 10t Lite (not China nor India Firmware/ROM/Vendor). Personally I would stick to what came with your device and 'strip it' to the bone ;-)
What region do you live in? -> don't answer this, just flash the right firmware ;-)
PS: XiaomiFirmwareUpdater is not very clear about the obvious differences between GAUGUINPRO and GAUGUIN at all.

In case of this (unofficial) xiaomi.eu custom ROM weekly build 21.7.21, it all depends on what official (stock) ROM was installed before you decided to unlock your device and flash this custom ROM. If i.e. it was the official Mi 10T Lite EEA ROM, it does not matter as the (unofficial) xiaomi.eu custom ROM's uses that Firmware anyway (it does not change it, it rely on it). If i.e. it was the official Mi 10T Lite Global ROM, it does matter as EEA is a different Firmware, ... ;-)
Feel free to flash any official Global, EEA or Taiwan Firmware/Vendor to your Mi 10t Lite, according to your region (do not flash China nor India Firmware/ROM/Vendor).
PS: to me, these (unofficial) xiaomi.eu custom ROM’s are becoming somewhat “redundant” (unless you want to test out MIUI's latest evolution and apps, because they are 'build' on China's weekly ROM's), as Xiaomi is making their own official EEA (EU) ROM’s for some time now (they did not do that in the past, that’s why xiaomi.eu custom ROM’s where made in the first place).

Thanks for your answer.
Got it pretty clear now.
The phone originally came with the European rom, so following your advice, I'll stick to European/Global/Taiwanese firmwares.
But when you use Xiaomi adb debloater, without root., Just rurn on usb debugging mode, the phone, and the rom is Awesome. Even MIUI is smooter and fastee. Lighter.
Battery is last longer.
I use redmi note 9oro 5g, and dont olan to change chine rom. I delete over 50 apps, but now phone working perfectly..
Even after 12.5 .3 , google services works.
