Global or China firmware? - Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers

Hi there, I have Mi 5s China version with unlocked bootloader and Lineageos 15.1 installed. Which firmware (baseband) should I flash when updating? Global Dev or China Dev? Any differences? Do they interfere with Lineageos in a different way?
Thank you very much in advance

Well...china since you have a chinese version!
It's about everything related to modems, baseband, etc... so best to stick with the fw intended for your hw...
Example:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xiaomi-firmware-updater/files/Developer/8.11.15/capricorn/
fw_capricorn_miui_MI5S_8.11.15_480641e50c_8.0.zip (and not the one with GLOBAL in the filename)...

Thank you. I thought so, just wanted a confirmation.

[Question] EMUI 8 for BLN-L21

Hi
I'm a proud owner of a BLN-L21 but it is stuck at EMUI 5.0.3 since last year.
How can I update to EMUI 8.0, so I can install ROMs such as Lineage 16.0/Android PIe ones?
Kind regards

Look for BLN-21
Then try the right package for your region.

bln-l21 (nfc) -> bln-l22 (india/chinese variant) = no nfc
Anyone can summarize how to upgrade BLN-L21 UK version (firmware BLN-L21C432B382) to EMUI 8.0 other than converting to Chinese/Indian first please?
If anyone have converted to Chinese from BLN-L21, then let us know how its going? I want to upgrade so that I can put one of the latest ROMS as this is the prerequisite of most ROMS. Thanks
Would this do it - at least its European (German)?

Hi
It seems that the convertion is mandatory. But some more feedbacks than "loosing nfc" would be highly appreciated. Thanks a lot!

Dont think we are loosing anything apart from NFC because that is the only difference we had in region specific models.
BTW there was one more guide to update but that will convert to Chinese version i guess. I guess it was by Khan.

Thx for answering
I suppose forcing the nfc flag to true in the dedicated file .prop doesn't work to regain nfc on Indian or Chinese rebranded ?

I've seen both guide to rebrand to Chinese or Indian version guys, I still wonder which one will offer me more Android 9 custom rom versions. If you have any advice?
Any custom roms will work with nfc? (Android 8 ones?)
Thx for the hard work, your advices and guides are still very helpful in 2021! Just bootloader unlocked and rooted a EU honor 6x. Only paid DC unlocked version get me the unlock code in 2021.
But stick to the thread.... BLN-L21 is losing just nfc to be rebranded, OK. Now any advantage Indian VS Chinese version? Any custom rom for directly the EU version?

I would prefer Indian lme because there are more chances of bricking while moving from Chinese to other versions as there are no custom bin. Once i rebranded to i shuffled easily to EU, US and other variants + custom ROMs

Goog to know about the the Custom bin.
Indian will so be the choice, even if a user had some troubles some days ago using the guide to Indian debrand, maybe it should be updated/corrected :

[Q] I have a mountain of questions before I decide to buy this phone :)

Hello everyone,
I have got a mountain of questions that arised from reading the forum and a lot of different topics.
I'll have numbers on them, so if you can/want to only answer a few of them you can refer to the number.
1. I've read about this ARB quite a lot, what's the deal with that if I want to go to a custom rom?
2. I understood that it matters where to buy the device in terms of an unlocked bootloader (TradingShenzen seems like a good place to start). But if I can't get my hands on a phone with unlocked bootloader, can I unlock it myself?
3. I'd like to go with the xiaomi.eu rom, any advice on how to get there? What I mean is, should I choose a CN model or is a Global model better, does it matter? What steps to take regarding TWRP and avoiding ARB, etc.
4. What does GSI stand for? I haven't found any thread explaining what that means, and I'm quite new to xiaomi devices (would be my first one).
5. I've also seen that there are quite a few different variants of this device, do the roms for it just work on all of them or do I need to check if the model is supported? (That seems to be a bit different to other phone vendors)
That's it for now, please don't kill me if some of the things have been answered before, I haven't found an answer to the questions so far (the infos that I got so far were insufficient)
Cheers,
Zacki
1 Google introduced ARB, a safeguard to not create an older version of the system from the currently released. If you install the official older version of the system for a new one, you will wall your phone.
Does not apply to Custom ROM
2 You can unblock the bootloader yourself on the official xiaomi website. It takes about 300 hours
3 unlock the bootloader, install recovery, install xiaomi.eu. Global rom is more stable, but xiaomi.eu has more personalization options. Recently, xiaomi.eu does not cause problems on Mi Max3, but it causes problems on other models.
4 GSI https://source.android.com/setup/build/gsi
5 Mi Max3 Global 4gb RAM 64gb internal memory,
Mi Max China 6gb RAM 128gb internal memory
You can install the Global ROM on the china version if you have unlocked the boootloader, and remember about the ARB. Otherwise, you will wall your phone
The Global version is popular.

Thanks for your reply.
@1. Interesting to see what Google is up to with things like this...why would they want this?
@2. Thanks, but whoa that's quite some time...and I guess I can only trigger the 300h AFTER I bought the phone, right? (Why so many hours actually...?)
@3. I've read about the changes they made to the rom and I like that. But what do you mean with being "less stable" than the global rom? In what way? I'd like to use that as my daily driver if I get it (not the weekly builds of course).
@4. Will have a look, thanks :good:
@5. I was actually looking at the 6GB/128GB version of the phone, if I can convince my wife to allow me to spend ~260€ on a phone (I'm currently a student ).
In this case, I'd already have an unlocked bootloader and if I want to install the rom from xiaomi.eu, there should be no problem, right? Also regarding ARB, this should be fine, right?
And in what ways are the CN and the Global versions different other than the rom? Are there differences for the supported bands or radios? I live in Austria, can I use the CN model here without any downside?
Edit: I'm having a look at this particular model, it would be available with CN firmware or with Global firmware. Would that still account as CN model in this case?

Google thinks people should use the latest system because it provides better security.
Xiaomi introduced a long wait time to unlock the bootloader, because dishonest sellers offered CN versions outside of China and India by installing the Global system on it. The CN version is only for China and India.
Xiaomi.eu provides its system every week. Contains various patches and additions. Sometimes something does not work, payments, BT paired in the car, notifications etc. In my phone, the last two versions do not work Gmail notifications. In today's version, people write that OK Google is not working.
If you unlock the bootloader, you can install xiaomi.eu. The ARB will be kept at the level of the official system you had.
The CN system contains only Chinese and English. It does not offer Google Play, it also contains full Chinese software.
Version 6/128 is only a CN model. If the seller offers with the Global system, it means that he has unlocked the bootloader and installed the Global system. You naturally lose the Xiaomi warranty.

So the xiaomi.eu roms don't have any of that ARB stuff, good to know. Could I technically install an older version of that custom rom without triggering the ARB or is that not possible? Just so I understand that.
And how is that with other custom roms? I've read in some threads that you have to make sure you have the correct ARB if you want to flash that particular rom, why that?

I'm not worried about the warranty but more about the specifics of the device. Is the CN model different in any way that it may not work properly with the providers in europe? Or things like that?
And sadly that vendor does not seem to have that version in stock at the moment, so I was thinking of getting the regular CN version of the device, that's why I'm asking
As for xiaomi.eu it does not contain ARB, but there are exceptions. If the phone gets an update to android 9 - xiaomi.eu must use the full original xiaomi firmware from ARB. The next versions on the same adroid no longer have files responsible for ARB.
Current level of ARB = 4 from Oreo to Pie. What you can not do:
to install MIUI9,
to install Miui Global on a CN version phone with a locked bootloader
block in the bootloader if you have Miui Global on your CN
install Miui China on a Global phone and block the bootloader.
Custom GSI roms do not have an ARB, you can install anything.
Mi Max 3 in the CN version in addition to the system and memory does not differ from the specification from Global. Will work in Austria.

So if I get the phone with Android 8.1 and I want to get MIUI 10 (Android 9) I need to update with the official rom and then flash the xiaomi.eu rom?
And while we are at that, if I buy the CN variant, do I have to upgrade to PIE with the CN official rom or can I also do this with the Global rom to get ARB to 4?
And what't the deal with the developer versions of the original roms? I've read something about them but would that help me in any way?

Ok but once the bootloader is open, why relock it anyway?^^ And I've read that on the xiaomi.eu roms you can not accidentaly relock the bootloader.

Working in Austria sounds good, but what exactly do you mean with "in addition to system and memory". The system and memory are different in the two versions and the rest is the same? Is there anything I should be aware of while using the phone?

it's not like that. You do not need to update the system. Xiaomi.eu is built with miui china developer extended to additional language translations, optimizations of softu for Europeans and a few additions that occur only in the Chinese version of the miui.
The whole system, firmware and kernel is miui china. If you install xiaomi.eu then you install the entire system, with the firmware and kernel. They are suitable for the android version.
You can have miui global Oreo and install xiaomi.eu Pie. Everything will be updated.
Miui Global is available in Stable and Dev versions. Dev-Beta is a development version released every week, contains the latest security, system fixes and errors detected in the Stable version, as well as new additions that are tested and do not always have to work correctly (like the development version of xiaomi.eu). As developers will correct detected errors, the stable version is created.
I just installed myself Global dev. I like it more than xiaomi.eu. Everything works so far. I usually use Global dev, and xiaomi.eu tests once in a while.

Some block the bootloader from ignorance or inadvertently.
When installing a new ROM by MiFlash, you have the following options:
install and block the bootloader (by default selected)
clean everything and install

the parameters of the telephone accessories and the frequency ranges of the network are the same. The difference is 6gb RAM, 128gb Internal memory and MIUI china.

Interesting, because I've read somewhere that the normal and the dev version are more or less the same, just that you have to use the dev version in certain situations to "unbrick" because of something with the bootloader (but I don't actually remember the details).

Using dev to unlock the bootloader affected old phones. Currently, it does not matter. Rom useful as well as Stable.

Miflash is used to install only official miui Rom, you use the rom .Tgz package
It installs through Miflash with the cleaning option. It does not leave garbage in the old system.

If you have xiaomi.eu then china rom does not matter.
You can look for a seller who offers a phone with downloaded xiaomi.eu or miui global - to choose from
in the past, the sellers offered the china version.

Usually it is 720 hours, but I checked it every now and then, after 4 days, this time has decreased by half.
It's 100% not decreased or changed it 720 hours. Unless you had a mi account before an unlocked a phone

That is an interesting note. I created an account a few days ago, when I ordered the phone. Does this already count as "having an account before trying to unlock"?

Question about my rom

Hello community, I have a question about my rom:
MIUI GLOBAL 12.0.6 stable 12.0.6.0(QJDEUVF)
Is this global our EU, since it says global but has EU on the name hihihi,
Thanks in advance.
Yours is eea, version for european union. That's when you see eu mark. Other marks: Mi is global, in is india, tr is turkey, ru is russia, cn is china... those Eu roms you mention are china based, so they mostly have either cn or some other stuff. And you have to unlock bootloader to install eu roms. And they have nothing to do with eu, except domain name, and people adopted eu as it's name. They are basically chinese beta roms translated to english and with some stuff enabled.

Thanks a lot m8, it was nice for you to reply.
So to be on the same stock rom so I can lock again the bootloader I should use:
V12.1.2.0.RJDEUXM (MIUI12) our V12.1.1.0.RJDMIXM (MIUI12)?
I'm guessing V12.1.2.0.RJDEUXM (MIUI12)?
Thanks in advance.

You'd need RJDEUXM since yours is eea, but before flashing that one, you'd be better off with finding 12.0.6 rom, return to it, lock bootloader after you've made sure it works, and then update to 12.1.2... I'm not sure that flashing 12.1.2 would work out of the box, because of different partition layout. Also, try and find both fastboot and recovery version of roms, then flash recovery version with twrp first, to get the partition layout back, then full recovery rom should work...

Can I flash a different region firmware?

I want to install Dot OS on my RN8 - India, I'm currently using QCOINXM official ROM, Android 10, but Dot OS 5.1 is a11-based, my question is: Do I need a11 firmware? Can I flash a11 firmware from China (RCOCNXM)? Or do I need to wait for the India a11 update and use that firmware?

you can flash any region fw as long as it's for ginkgo

MIUI version unknown

Hi guys,
I've bought a Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite 5G, supposaly global edition, that has MIUI 12.5.3.0 installed.
My phone is the model M2007J17G and MIUI version says it is MIUI Global Stable 12.5.3.0(RJSEUVF)
I've tried to update using recovery roms from Global and Europe without any success, the message it appears is that is not a valid ROM.
Can you help me please understand what ROM my phone has installed?
Best regards
Sounds like Vodafone version, not sure if it's possible to switch to global/eu rom without bootloader unlocking.
