Because of the recent pandemic, i couldnt go back to china to get the Redmi K40, so i had to buy the Poco F3 in hong kong. after watching some bilibili videos about 12.5 (some were negative, but i dont really care), i realized im missing out on quite a lot of content and features. Now, before you say "Oh if I were you i'd just go for xiaomi.eu" i do prefer xiaomi's AI way more than google assistant, so thats one of my main reasons for going CN. but how do i actually get there? I went to the CN xiaomi community page for the rom download but something is wrong with the page, and twrp doesnt support K40 or F3 as of now either. I do see the alpha build for twrp in this forum, but is that good enough? the image is what the xiaomi community site shows when i click on rom download, i also couldnt find the 12.5 rom for k40 anywhere else.
Here better? xiaomifirmwareupdater.com
I think I saw it there... I'm waiting for my K40.

Hi All,
New to the forum. A Hi to everyone.
I have bought an Mi 11X in India in very first sale and after setting it up realised it doesn't have Miui dialer and messaging app and instead has Google Dialer and messaging app. Google dialer doesn't save call records beyond 30 days and also doesn't have native call recording option without warning about call getting recorded and I am unable to move messages from my previous Redmi 8 device to this device bcoz of no Miui Messaging app in Mi 11x.
Can someone please suggest how to get Miui Dialer and messaging on my Indian Mi 11x handset. And also let me know how do I unlock bootloader as Miui global forum is blocked in India foe access. Cant access the forum and hence cant place request for bootloader unlock. Please help me. Thanking in advance.
you can record call with Google Dialer or Google Contacts whatever you call that app there's a Magisk module for it just get rooted via Magisk

Its not just about call recording facility. Miui Dialer is more feature rich than google dialer. Like unlimited call history vs 30 days call history. Messaging app is also very user friendly of Miui. I just want a way to get Miui Dialer n Messaging app on my Mi 11x. Either by some apk install or via some other ROM flashing.
im not sure if this helps but maybe you could try installing them from apk mirror, hope the apps work tho.

Solution is to move to XIAOMI EU ROM. Weekly and stable both have MI dialer installed.

I have been using EU ROMs for many years. It will have Xiaomi dialer and messaging apps. In fact, I am also looking for the same solution for my Mi11x Indian variant.

Thank you All. One last question. If I flash EU ROM, will I get updates automatically or need to manually download update package and update through recovery??

You get OTA for both EU rom, weekly and stable, but because a working recovery to handle that is not yet available we still have to do it manualy via fastboot.
Accept it for some time or stand by.

So to manually update the next update, do I have to repeat the process of unlocking Bootloader and flash the update file? Wouldn't it erase my data??

Everything is automatic once you first installed EU rom.
Bootloader stays unlocked until you relock it with MIFLASH rom.
Your data are going to be erased by force because you need to format data at first install and only here. Make them backed up.
I have successfully unlocked my device and have downloaded Miui 12.5 HMK40 ROM from xiaomi.eu forum and setup phone in fastboot mode and extracted the fastboot miui 12.5 ROM and ran the file "windows_fastboot_first_install_with_data-format".
The command prompt windows launched and I entered Y to proceed installation of ROM. Its been more than 30 minutes and I am stuck at "sending sparse super 4/7 (775048kb)"
Please someone help.

I closed the command prompt window by clicking "X" on top right corner and again started the process by running the file "windows_fastboot_first_install_with_data-format" and now I am stuck at "sending sparse super 1/7" which earlier took only 50 seconds and now taking ages.
Faced errors multiple times but after trying to flash three to four times and changing USB port, I was successful in installing the ROM. Thank you to the community for help and for encouraging to try installing the ROM.
My last genuine query, sorry if I have been too curious about things. I have successfully installed EU ROM. Now
1) Can I lock the bootloader again and whenever there is an update just flash it without the need to unlock bootloader again??
2) Say a Recover ROM gets released in near future, do I have to again flash it a New?? I mean complete format? Or can I just upgrade to it without loosing data and without full format??

You have better to boot latest TWRP and install EU zip with it.
Just check the digest file in the rom zip if it take care not to reject aliothin (your phone).
That's what I did on F3 .
Great rom for my today use.
EDIT: You can NOT lock your bootloader under EU rom, you need to flash an official fastboot rom via MIFLASH.
Take care to flash the same region rom as your phone was first.
But, Stay unlocked that's better if you can.

U can lock ur bootloader only if u have the original ROM region the phone was build for (EEA, MI, IN, ID etc). So, never lock bootloader if u had Indian stock ROM and u flashed EEA or other region build.....most probably ur phone will get hard bricked. Also, never lock bottloader if u flashed any custom ROM (xiaomi.eu, CrDroid, Arrow etc)....not sure if this is even possible, but still
I recently installed the Xiaomi EU rom on my MI 11X (aliothin) (POCO F3 globally, Redmi K40 in China). I didn't root my device and the device was also play protect certified. I downloaded Google Pay app from the playstore. I tried activating my bank account using UPI, but it couldn't detect my sim to activate. I also checked the permission and gave the relevant permissions like sms, contact, phone, location, but it still didn't work. I really like this ROM, but I need to be able to use google pay as well.

hey guys,
since i successfully flashed my Mi Pad 5 from CN to Global Rom a new problem occured.
I lost the google play protect status and cant install apps like netflix via the playstore. manual way with apk download works fine.
is there any possibility to get the google play protect status again?
tried different methods from google instructions but they didnt work.
my bootloader is still unlocked - is this the problem? its not rooted
thx
Hi,
I had the same problem and I learned that it's a problem you have to live with if you wanna use the global ROM.
Google Play certification and Netflix DRM require the bootloader to be locked BUT if you the bootloader is locked, the global ROM won't boot on a China device.
BE CAREFUL! If you unlink your Mi account and lock the bootloader while using the global ROM, you won't be able to unlock the bootloader easily, essentially bricking the device.
In my case, I went back to the China ROM since I bought the tablet mainly to watch Netflix.
It's true some features are missing on the Chinese ROM (like Google Assistant) and I still have some Chinese text in "Search" but Netflix works perfectly and I use my phone as my daily driver so I don't really need the missing features on Xiaomi Pad 5.
My suggestion is to flash back to China ROM and stay with it. Make sure you still have your Mi account linked to the device to avoid any bricking.

Are you sure? So its safe to buy the Chinese device with global rom and just update it and itll get google certified? Seems too good to be true. The open bootloader isnt a problem?
I cant tell you what decision to make, only what worked for me. Open bootloader is not a problem.

Thank you. I really dont understand anything in this regard. Is there any chance that your device doesnt have the firmware found on a Chinese device with global rom from aliexpress? (so your experience might not be relevant here)
Hi,
I received yesterday a new Mi 10T Pro and tried to update to newest MIUI. I'm on 12.0.19 MIUI and system doesn't see any update. I tried to install via zip file (3 dots etc.) but every file i download (starting from 12.1 an ending to 12.5.7) ends with package verification: "You cannot flash this stable firmware".
Like I said - phone is new, EEA. I tried lot of files, option with VPN, change Regions.
Can you help? I don't want to send for guarantee cause problem with update...
I sended for guarantee and they updated phone to the newest MIUI (but I don't know details where was a problem and how they solved it). On Monday phone should return to me and I will check with next updates if it helps. I hope there will be no problems with update to MIUI 13 when it comes.
Hey bro, same is happening to me with Mi 10T normal version, is stuck with miui 12.0.11 and i cant flash stable roms or get any ota i don't think is a unit problem, if you have more details that could help me it will be appreciated.

Apparently Xiaomi stopped the OTA from A10 to A11. You'll need to unlock the bootloader and update the rom, then relock it if you want.
