Flashing to global ROM

I live in the US and really want to buy a new Mi Mix 2 but from what I've been reading I will have to flash it myself to the global ROM since all of these phones currently come with the Chinese version. Some questions for the experts:
(1) When is the global ROM coming out?
(2) All I really want is Google app store, Gmail, etc on my phone. If I install those then what are the benefits of flashing to global ROM?
(3) Will all apps in Google play store work with Chinese ROM?
(4) I am a total noob and have never flashed anything in my life. How difficult is this? Are there step-by-steps instructions for the Mi Mix 2? My biggest fear is bricking my phone and throwing away over $600 for something I didn't even get to use.
Thanks in advance for you advice and comments.

These are good questions

I wondering the same thing about question #1 so I can flash. Even with "english" set to mine there is still a lot of Chinese I'm running into. Just gonna wait for the global ROM.

I've just checked miui official site, and the latest both stable and developer version stock roms for Mix 2 have been released there. Simply download it and flash it through official flashing tool. Go check it! Hope can help you. I'm working on xposed for my mix 2 now

Is there a safe way to flash that without being unlocked. I am waiting for Xiaomi to allow me to unlock.

So to go from China to Global normally what you have to do is install from Fastboot, so Unlocked Bootloader is a must. There´s no news yet about Global ROM comingf out yet but I suspect that in a few weeks time it will be coming out, hopefully. Still no official news yet. With Chinese ROM you can install GApps through Mi store, there's an app which installs it, that should work for you. If you need help please let me know. Benefits from flashing GLOBAL is that GApps come preinstalled, theres not so much bloatware (MIUI CHINA has quite a lot, but you can still uninstall most of it easily, which I strongly suggest. Flashing an official rom isn't hard, but there's still people like me that can help you in the process for some cash and that can make sure that you don't mess up xd and make sure you understand what you are doing so you learn what you've done, at least that's my way of doing it

Re #1 its quite simple and i just did.
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Flash TWRP
3. Flash EU MIUI rom (based on chinese developer rom but comes with google)
4. Done

Did you wait 72 hours before you could unlock. I am waiting for that timer to get to 0, lol

There is a difference between your link and the rom from this one: http://en.miui.com/download-334.html

The link you have is for the Chinese rom and the Chinese developer rom.
My link is for the European EU Rom. EU ROM has Google Apps and no Chinese bloatware

Hey I've been waiting to purchase the phone until I know I will be able to install a fresh rom without all the bloatware. This EU MIUI you're talking about, could this be the infamous "Global Rom" that I've been hearing about?
Any screenshots of this EU MIUI that will show the lack of bloatware so I can compare?

looks like this one is an unofficial developer rom with MIUI9 right?
But there will be an official global rom from xiaomi?

Its official, dont worry about that.

Not quite - they are two different things. The Global ROM usually refers to an official xiaomi ROM developed for outside China. It has Gapps built in and less Chinese software. If you go to en.miui.com and look at roms for various devices you will see many have both China and Global Roms. There isn't a global one yet for Mix 2.
The EU Roms are released by a team at xiaomi.eu and are based on xiaomi Roms but have some improvements, Gapps built in and many more languages.
Then in addition there are stable and developer options for each one.
I have always been satisfied with the EU Rom on previous xiaomi phones.

Stable to beta rom with locked bootloader?

No you need to flash through twrp which needs unlocking bootloader.

But i have seen in YouTube some user switching to beta from stable without unlocking bootloader.

Yes i was asking the same thing. When i unlocked bl on RN4 (and instated TWRP) i have started receiving beta roms but not stable ones aymore, whis is not a problem for me i like updating . I wonder if this is always the case

Why not try yourself via system update?
Edit: Not working.

U tried ? I also have same question

Not yet.. Waiting for someone who will provide a way.
Somewhere in youtube i saw to update to beta rom(without unlocking bootloader) you need to be on a developer rom(you can download developer rom from "en.miui.com") ,which is not yet available for redmi note 5 pro.

Take a look on this article
https://www.xda-developers.com/install-miui-10-xiaomi-redmi-note-5-pro-xiaomi-mi-mix-2-xiaomi-mi-6/
They haven't mentioned about locked bootloader.. that method should work for locked bootloader mobile.
Since my mobile is new I am not interested to try beta ROM.

TWRP will never work with locked bootloader. It's very common term that is why you might not seen lock unlock thing. If only one developer rom available for RN5P then also could be do this without unlocking BL.

Cant we just use Kingoroot or other apps to root the phone and then flash custom recovery using rashr or flashify?

Hello Mate,
You are in the opposite direction.
Kingroot and other such rooting apps only root old devices ( by old I mean devices launched literally 2-3 years back ). Technology has changed now. And also the Android Security and OS integration has changed with time.
New devices now have to have a custom recovery first and then you can root the device through that custom recovery with Magisk OR SuperSU. And to install the custom recovery, you need to unlock the bootloader.
So going step wise in ascending order it is --> Unlock Bootloader --> Install Custom Recovery --> Flash Root App ( Magisk / SuperSU ) --> Enjoy

Point # 1 : Realme phones do not have a fastboot recovery installed. So there is literally no way to unlock the bootloader without entering fastboot recovery mode ( correct me if I am wrong ).
Point # 2 : Even if there is any way to unlock the bootloader, there is no Official support from Realme for unlocking the bootloader which means you lose the warranty the moment you unlock your bootloader.
Point # 3 : Realme is currently working on their own brand new UI different than Color OS which will take at least Q3 of 2019 so don't expect any Official support.
What we can do :
ALL the Realme users should put up a request to Realme for providing Official bootloader unlocking support just like Xiaomi so that we can all enjoy some cool custom roms or maybe tweak the Color OS as we want. The more the requests the more Realme will listen to us.
A dedicated Realme Official Community Forum is going to start on October 31 where we all can put our requests for providing bootloader unlocking support as well as for changes and bug fixes in the current Color OS. I guess the request for changes in the Color OS UI will only happen in the new Realme UI as they will take suggestions from us that what we want and then apply that in the new Realme UI which they will provide later. Also we know that Realme will still be related to Oppo for at least 1-2 years more so don't expect a BIG difference like a nearly Stock Android type of Realme UI. The new Realme UI will definitely be somewhat like a copy of iOS just like the ColorOS of Oppo and Funtouch of Vivo.
( FYI : Oppo, Vivo, OnePlus are all brother companies who are under 1 single Parent company which is BBK Electronics and even if Realme has now seperated from Oppo, I assume it is still under BBK Electronics, so all these 4 smartphones companies are actually just 1 single company operating with different sub brand name.

Yes.
It is a clickbait.
Today at the end of 2018 the most popular, trusted, secure and REAL Android development forum is XDA and developers around the globe put forth their Custom ROM development only on XDA.
It is useless, also not safe to trust any private website for any kind of custom Rom. XDA is the only and ultimate place to search for and trust on any custom ROM :fingers-crossed:

Bro cudnt find this post on madhav sir's twitter page

Hi Guys,
I have an issue with my realme 2 pro (Color OS 5.2), When i make any application like Mcafee Mobile security as a device manager, it keep giving yellow floating notification for system security risk, I have tried multiple things but it doesn't go. Interestingly, i have other apps also set as DEvice manager but the notification only comes when i make McAfee Antivirus as Device manager. I heard that its a known issue with ColorOS, can anybody suggest any fix for this or facing the same issue?

Unlock bootloader, flash Global via Mi Flash, relock bootloader to avoid losing warranty (or don't if you feel like tinkering about)
Unlock bootloader can take a long time though.

After some searching, it may not work (you can apparently only relock on China if that was your original ROM), so you might have to use the phone with a unlocked BL.
Basically, don't attempt to flash Global if you want to keep your warranty.

Switch from Global to China/India
Hi there,
I have an EU Global Redmi Note 8 that I bought in UK. I noticed, however, that the call recording function has been pulled from EU devices due to some new nonsense policies so I'd like to switch if possible. I'm just wondering how I could switch from EU to China/India rom, and if possible, lock the bootloader.
Ultimately, I'm happy to switch even if I cannot re-lock, but I'd like to know how even so.
Many thanks

To switch from EU version to global/Indian use mi flash and flash fastboot rom. I recommend flashing indian rom as it has stock mi dialer which has call recording as global rom has google dialer with no call recording feature.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
