My brother has a 3/32 global Note 5 AI and now I want to buy a Chinese version of Note 5 AI 4/64. So what are the problems with Chinese Rom? I've heard that GPS doesn't work, is it true? and is changing Chinese Rom to global Rom prohibited by Xiaomi now?

global has more bands.
i used chinese rom in english but still many things were chinesse. didnt like it.
am not sure i heard you cant anymore china device to global or global device to china.. some say you still can.
China ROM is definitely more smoother, but global rom has everything set up for you with gapps

This is really confusing.. looks like choosing Chinese version would be a bad decision.

i saw a post on mi forum that you cant use global rom on china device and viceversa and in here some say you can.
example when i wanted to update stock apps the changelog was in chinesse. many apps in chinesse.. i went straight back to global.
is better to get global vversion.
basically the title above.im gonna buy one but i dont know if it is global version or china version.how can i see what is it?
It is no so important, you can always flash global version if you want.
Hi all. Does anyone could explain me the difference between the two firmware.
On xiaomifirmwareupdater.com there are both of them, but I haven't found what is the difference?
May I install a China fw on a global device or I will brick it?.
Tnx
It's safe to flash it. Xiaomi EU uses the China Beta ROMs and Globalized them to include other languages that would be in a Normal Global beta rom from Xiaomi...so with that being said I feel it's safe because if Xiaomi EU and Miroom uses the China Beta as their base then I assume that you flashing just the firmware will not brick your device.

Have you any idea where to find the differences?
Unfortunately not at the moment but I will look into it and get back to you if I find something.
Hello, all. My device is Poco F3 Indonesia and have reflash to mi11x version because I prefer MI version over Poco However, there is a problem with the absence of NFC even though my device already supports.
Is there a way to re-enable NFC?

Stock ROM for Mi 11X (Indian version) hasn't software support for NFC because Mi 11X phone hasn't hardware for NFC. If u want Mi launcher u can use china stock ROM or xiaomi.eu ROM (stable or weekly).

i like xiaomi.eu rom but it doesn't support indonesian language, because poco stock rom can't install mi launcher. The Chinese stock rom, the name is redmi k40, also is the miui redmi version, there is indeed a mi launcher, but it doesn't support the Indonesian language

You can ask Xiaomi.eu to include it. Their decision to include or not though.
You can even contribute to translate and port it.
They need people understand at least English and the target language to port it in their Rom. If you find no Indonesian, be the first one.
Also heard some myth: some device can get Mi-launcher after factory reset. Not sure if it's true or not.

Do you know how to contact the administrator of xiaomi.eu? Because my account can't login

You register a new account there, it is not official MIUI website, so Mi-account won't work.
Indonesian translation
xiaomi.eu

Or find this guy:
ingbrzy
He's one of them making Xiaomi.eu MIUI
Seems devs of xiaomi.eu are not so eager to add Indonesian language to their ROM.

Yep. I'm a lucky one. My native language is avail in this ROM
Can I upgrade from global to EU without format? Is encryption same?
On global rom there is also no support for NFC..
If u mean EU=xiaomi.eu, then NO...u have to Format data after u flashed the ROM.
Is any other way for enabling NFC on global firmware? Phone is rooted..
Stock ROM for Mi 11X (Indian version) hasn't software support for NFC because Mi 11X phone hasn't hardware for NFC. If u have Poco F3 (international version) and other ROM than indian version, there is a problem if NFC does not work.
My phone is global. Hw info shows that I have nfc (picture attached).
But there is no option anywhere in settings.
or whats the difference?
Yes they are the same. Only difference is the MIUI that's bundled with it. All custom ROMs on this forum support K40 and Poco F3.

Hello
If they are the same is possible to instal the original MIUI ROM instead the MIUI FOR POCO?
hello!
Identical phone.
POCO F3 is just a rebrand of the Redmi k40 made for the global market outside of china (mi 11x is the rebrand made for the indian market).
The MIUI changes, precisely because they are marketed in different countries.
From what I have read it is possible to install Chinese stock roms on global phones (only with unlocked bootloader and being careful of the anti roolback) but not the other way around.
For castom roms there should be no compatibility problems, as for recovery. However in the thread of each castom rom it says in which phone it is possible to install it.

I have a mi 11x with unlocked bootloader and poco f3 global installed. Any way I can lock the bootloader with poco f3 global official rom? Couldn't find a confirmed answer.

You can lock the bootloader only with the rom of the region the phone was born with. If when you bought it there was the stock india and you flashed the stock global, blocking the bootloader goes into brick. The bootloader can only be locked with the original firmware. make sure, when you block, that there is the original rom on the phone, if not, it goes into brick
good to know it, it should be written with big red letters!

It's quite interesting because with my old Mi9 I can swap regions even with locked BL but trick was with MI ASSISTANS or something like this (XiaoMiTool V2 software).
Is it possible with F3 as well? If not - why? Some kind of info inside one of the partition? Or because A/B system?

Personally i haven't tried that software to change region with locked bootloader, i can't tell you if it works or not.
However, I do not recommend carrying out any modding operation with a locked bootloader, it is very risky, and if there are problems it is very difficult to restore it.
Since unlocking the bootloader does not invalidate the warranty and is accepted by xiaomi, it is the best solution to carry out modding operations with the least possible risk of brick.

This is not true. I have a Redmi K40 purchased in China, and I can install global ROMs just fine (Xiaomi.eu, EEA, etc).
