NO US Location.

So I got this phone from "Gear Best" - it's the 64 gig version running ROM MIUI Global 7.4 Stable 7.4.16.0 (MBDCNDE)
Is this a european rom cause it does not have USA as a location in it.
Furthermore - where is the links for European Firmware - anyone know that?

If you want MIUI then check out the unofficial Xiaomi.eu global ROM...
Or you can flash CM13 and be happy...

Since you got it from Gearbest, you have an unofficial MIUI ROM. There is no stable global ROM yet available for the Mi Max.
You'll have to unlock your bootloader and flash the official global dev ROM or I think you could use EDL and Mi Flash to install the ROM and keep your bootloader locked.
The global dev ROM does have the US as an option for your locale. To be honest, it really doesn't do much when you set your locale. When I was using the global dev ROM before, US wasn't an option and I ended up just using Hong Kong as my locale. Since Xiaomi added US, I haven't noticed any difference.
Also, I don't think the global dev ROM is available for the 64gb version yet.

What Mi Max Variant to Buy?

I want to buy the 128GB with 4GB RAM version but I hear it's less supported by roms.
Can this version be unlocked and rooted?
How is it less supported? Will the available roms for MI Max not work for it?
What is Helium and Hydrogen? I can't find enough info on both. Can a 128 version be either hydrogen or helium? I'm confused
Which should I buy? 32, 64 or 128? What's the advantage?
Storage really don't matter to me. I just want the 1GB RAM Upgrade. But depending on how it's less supported I may opt just to get a 3GB.
Thank you

All versions can be unlocked and rooted and have ROM support.
The most flexible is the 32 gb version, has international developer and Chinese version original Miui support. Rest do not.

Thank you badrsj. Too bad there's no international for the 128

Because 128GB model is not internationally released, only china (so they have chinese, that's how Xiaomi operates) I'm sure once it releases internationally (they have announced official release in India, waiting for it) Xiaomi will release the firmware (ROM) also.
Hydrogen = ROM 16GB / 2GB RAM or 32GB / 3GB Snapdragon 650
Helium = ROM 64GB/ 3GB RAM or 128GB / 4GB Snapdragon 652

All is not lost
After buying the 64/3 (before I knew 32/3 had more support)
I installed the China developer ROM, original Miui release, stock.
Added Google services via Google installer, gave permissions to access whatever and auto start as needed. I have a good working stock google device with minimal Chinese apps, cause you can uninstall most. So it's doable at virtually any model.
But that doesn't mean there's better international and developer support, still get errors here and there.
One additional way to go is Miui.eu large robust unofficial community releases firmware, but it's not stock official.

I have the 4/128 version which is Helium, and as mentioned earlier official roms there is not much international roms yet, just China dev and China stable.
But, there are some other roms available to use: (which all have all bloatware, chinese items removed, and google apps integrated)
- Xiaomi.eu roms (beta & stable)
- multirom.me roms (beta & stable)
- ajsmsg78's Resurrection Remix 5.7.3 and Global rom
I have bootloader unlocked, and use Xiaomi.eu roms

thank you guys. Ill go fro the 128/4 model then

For Xiaomi.eu roms, both stable and beta get OTA updates, but on their site they mention that for Dev Beta, they are only pushing OTA once a month, weekly updates can be manually downloaded and updated via About Phone -> system update - > 3dotMenu -> Choose update package...
about comparison of xiaomi.eu vs official rom: in short the base is taken from official rom BUT it is bloat-free, internationalized, tweaks, etc
i suggest to read more on their website.

Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 global version

I'd like to buy a Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 which is currently available only in the chinese version (sold with the chinese MIUI). I read that soon it will be on sale also in the global version (with the global MIUI out of the box). I was wondering if the only difference between the two variants is the firmware included or there are other differences

Just the ROM. You can unlock the Chinese version, and flash the MIUI EU or Epic ROM right now and have something very similar to the Global ROM right now.

Thanks, so if I flash the official global MIUI when it will be out it would be identical to the one sold as global version and I'll be able to get the OTA updates?

Presumably.

They just announced 2 hours ago that's it coming to India on the 10th. We can probably expect an official global ROM around that time.

I believe the English Version version at https://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_786413.html is the global version. It support many frequencies for AT&T and T-Mobile in the US.

I bought that one, and it is the Chinese ROM, but the hardware is the same. I registered my phone with my MIUI account and was able to unlock the bootloader three days later. Now I am running the EU ROM and everything just works.

+1 Same here,another from GearBest.
As you mentioned,the hardware is the same across the board,there are no region-specific models,just like with OnePlus & their latest,the OP5.
Only internal hardware variations are w/RAM & Storage,the rest is identical,no matter where you buy it.

If the original rom has chinese and english and I want to use english anyway, why is everyone changing to the eu or global roms?

You have less Chines grap on your phone (apps)

Remove the all the Chinese apps, and several things like Netflix and Contacts just work better (or at all).

How to distinguish between China and global version of whyred?

I got an used whyred, and I already flashed LOS 15.1 in it. How can I tell if my phone is China version or global version?
Thank you.

No, no ,no
China and Global verison are very similar. After installing LOS 15.1 it's going to be even harder to guess which one is it. 3 GB of RAM tells that's it's definitely not a Pro verison, that is available in India. So It's China or Global
Global version supports LTE B4 and LTE B20. So if You are able to connect to those bands, than You have a global version

THanks MikiGry. Is there any good app that helps me find out which LTE my phone supports? I tried several but only one of them show that my LTE band is 3, and sometimes 7. But I probably need the LTE band capability and not the current band connected.

No I don't have the box. But I checked the IMEI online and it says my phone is MEC7S, which seems to be the Chinese model :crying:
But that IMEI checking website might be wrong, since my phone got only 4GB of RAM.

Hi,
on this weekend, I got it with OTA. The MIUI 13. EEA....
I can not recommend, not stable from my opinion.....
The FS20 official (paid) game not working, the advanced darlk options also not working, eat the memory ( before with A11 with my apps, 5.3GB ram was free, with the new A12, just 4.4GB memory was free )
So my last weekend was about the bootloader opening, and flashing back the last A11 version.... But as you feel, lets try out!

i not use stock (OTA) miui rom. I use only from xiaomi eu. for me works nice, not freezing or app crash or games. Ota Rom is 13.0.2.0. xiaomi EU have 13.0.4.0 with some fixes.

I got today Miui 13 EU via OTA (region Ireland). Looks like ordinary update. Maybe someone found something new/interesting.
