Hi XDA, Just got the MI MIX 2 and it came with the Chinese ROM, I was reading some guides how to flash the global ROM, with a locked bootloader, but they all require "Mi PC Suite", a Windows application, do you know if using ADB, will I be able to sideload the Global ROM? Or the only option to flash the Global ROM with a locked bootloader, is really by using the application Mi PC Suite? If that is the case, I'll have to find a way to get to a Windows PC
Thank you XDA
Before you unlock bootloader, flash over fastboot is impossible. And you can't flash global roms directly from a China rom. You have to unlock it and your warranty will not be revoked.

1. App unlock bootloader: https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/...SIGNED_UnlockTool_9.1.0.10_190702_fulldpi.apk
2.Rom: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1HxSqpE83FW1U_k8WxCfaTkMUEAbS2QH-
In folder, file boot.img patched to root, no bootloop and wifi working.
3. Minimal ADB: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=746010030569952951
Step:
S1. Unlock bootloader by app unlock
S2.
a. Install Minimal ADB, copy 21 file .img to C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
b. Flash 21 file img in fastboot mode (power + volumeup) using usb type C side of ROG Phone):
Run cmd-here.exe, command:
fastboot flash ***.img (*** same with name 21 file img, do not rename file)
EX: fastboot flash system system.im
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
Boot in to recovery mode and wipe data/factory reset then reboot system!
Done.
Sorry for my poor English
Mod edit: Deleted!
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat - if this is real, awesome job.
Damnnn good..but i'm afraid to try it
Could u explan more
After this ww rom will be installed? What about upgrade?
I mean can i do future update once in convert to ww rom ?
A Video would be nice (not doubting that this simple guide doesn't work) but to proof that indeed this method works) someone please be kind to post a video.
also, does flashing this WW ROM deletes all personal data? or does it flash like an update retaining data?
wow!!
is it works??
and is it without root??
Will OTA updates work on this? Also, could you rewrite the guide some parts are a bit confusing
It works. No OTA from now on though, without a patched boot.img the phone will always go into a bootloop. Some people have reported dead camera after WWE conversion.
"Some people have reported dead camera after WWE conversion. "
Is there more infomation about this? forum link or screenshot?
Thanks.

In my tele, 2 member rp dead camera, they reflash rom CN then reflash WW, evething ok expect setting theme not working
Can someone state the major differences between the two roms?. I don't see the point of losing OTA and warranty unless you need the stock UI, other than that i don't see any advantages. By the way can someone confirm the call recording option is still there with the WW Rom.

Yes Please, I Would also like to know the major differences..
Just to evaluate whether losing OTA is worth going to WW Rom.
Hello Guys, I messed up as I did not unlock bootloader first before flashing it from fastboot. Now I have a bootloop. Can anyone help me how to reflash CN. I have a lock bootloader. Thank you very much.
Unlocking BL also voids the Widevine L1 DRM btw, proceed at your own risk.
Can anyone help me how to unlock the bootloader via fastboot since I cannot get in the software as I have a bootloop. I greatly appreciate it as I have been figuring out this for the past 5 hours. Thank you.

You cannot unlock without the app. Hold the power and volume up key when the phone boots up until you enter the bootloader menu then using the volume keys navigate to recovery option from there just do a factory reset.
Hello Rashad83, I went to recovery and did a factory reset,but it still bootloop. I have a tencent ROG phone II model.

What did you do to get the bootloop in the first place, if you don't mind me asking?
I tried fastboot flash vendor vendor.img then it says parse error due to lock state, then after that I rebooted it then it just bootloop.

You can teach me step by step and link for download tools ( TWRP or Others ) for Redmi Note 8.

Hi all, I was just wondering if anybody has any idea how to root this device with magisk successfully. I have tried flashing twrp via fastboot then flashing magisk via twrp but when I reboot it only takes me to twrp again. I've also tried patching stock boot.img via magisk manager and then flashing the patched boot.img still wont reboot to system. If anybody here knows how to root this device please reply, thanks
Hi ! Which one do you have ?
Global or CN version and what ROM is installed in ?

I tried mine, but it got stucked at booting into twrp mode.
I flashed cn twrp into cn rom and then I flashed global rom thru twrp and keep booting into Twrp..
---------- Post added at 04:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 AM ----------
Then I flashed fastboot cn rom but somehow it became global rom with " find device closed unexpectedly" and also goes into xiaomi recovery mode.
Did you try rooting with SR5-SuperSU-v2.82-SR5.zip?
---------- Post added at 07:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 AM ----------
You might need to flash Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt.zip as well.
Is it possible to install Global Rom on the Chinese version?
i had flashed some roms but the system partion of these still encrypted。
I solved the problem by flashing a hacked rom which truly decrypted systempartion。
so i think twrp （the current one）cannot help to decrypt systempartion

So is this a problem with twrp and not magisk being incompatible with the device? Should we just wait for official twrp?
With the miflash tool?
Fastboot + MiFlash

Phone off. Holding power+Vol- Till you see the rabbit. Connect to PC via USB, open miflash. loading the firmware, press refresh button, you should see a new item in the list, Choose "CLEAN ALL " at bottom and start "Flash" on top. When finished, it will reboot and start,
Yes it can OTA

curious why do you change from global to china rom? I always see people to change from china rom to global, like me.
Hi.
Please, can anyone tell me a way that really works for enable root access from magisk to my chinese device unlocked with global rom MIUI 12 / Android 10?
Every tutorial I follow, I got bootlooping.
I tried Boot Image Patching tutorial from magisk, which consists in installing magisk manager apk, patching the stock boot.img and fastboot flash the new boot.img.
Result: bootlooping, and I had to flash stock boot.img again to solve.
Flashing UNOFFICIAL TWRP by wzsx150 for Android 10, mounting system, deleting recovery-from-boot.p, closing avb 2.0, installing root and reboot. Result: bootlooping. To solve this I had to flash stock boot and recovery.
Tried to not delete recovery-from-boot, tried to install TWRP + directly magisk from oficial zip. Results: bootlooping
I even tried to flash from miflash tool original firmware "begonia_global_images_V12.0.2.0.QGGMIXM_20200710.0000.00_10.0_global_5c06839838", changing the boot.img for the patched from magisk. Bootlooping.
Anyone, please?!

Tks.
I tried this video, but I got bootlooping after system reboot. Dunno what it wrong.
Is your device chinese and your rom global with MIUI 12, same as mine?
About the safetynet, dunno what is your problem, but since earlier this year, every phone with bootlooader unlocked, CTS profile fails, but basic integrity pass.
Is it that way for you?
