Can I install this update with locked bootloader?

Yes
Just bear in mind that if you install the global beta, you can't go back to the global stable , otherwise you'll end up bricking your device. I'd recommand you stay with the stable versions until this whole anti-rollback dust settles in.
Silver91 so if Xiaomi Released the Rom and i want to go back stable again i cannot?

you are in 9.5.19.0 thats ARB4
dont flash miui10 8.7.5
or globa stablel 9.5.17.0
this are ARB3 and any older version
you cant go back to this or older versions.
but you can flash new upcoming versions. after 9.5.19.0 new versions you can also miui 10 after 8.7.6
So i can go from MIUI 10 beta to MIUI 10 stable when it's officially released but i can't downgrade to any older versions Right?
I already bought a global version redmi note 5. all works fine. But from aliexpress it arrives in about 26 days.
I need another phone soon. So asked someone to bring one from China directly - redmi note 5.
I am going to flash the global rom by myself. But while searching online, someone said I need the redmi note 5 pro ROM, and there's also redmi note 5 ROM and redmi Note 5 plus ROM. Which one should I choose?
is it possible to flash global ROM by myself? or it will brick the phone?
anyone has the similar experience? from China version Redmi Note 5 to Global version Redmi Note 5.

If it had snapdragon 636 on the chipset, you are on the right forum.

On one hand there is Redmi note 5 Pro and Redmi note 5 AI. They share the codename WHYRED. Both have Snapdragon 636. Also dual camera setup. Most ROMS for whyred means they will work on both these phones.
On the other hand there is Redmi 5 Plus. It has a snapdragon 625 and a single camera. I believe the codename is VINCE for Redmi 5 plus.
new at xiaomi that if your phone is china region you cant install golbal rom. and viceversa global phone cant install china rom. i read it on miui forum. do some research on that before buyinh china region phone .

It looks like this should be redmi note 5 AI, that's how xiaomi advertises it in China. The current one global version I got from aliexpress has dual camera as well. But hardly to say it's AI or not.
Thanks for your reply. I'll download some whyred ROM to give it a go. Really scared to brick it as there is no way to unbrick but visit xiaomi service center, which has none locally here.

Really thanks for your reply. I'm going to jump on the same boat as you now. From my research, I need:
1 unlocked BL using one xiaomi account old enough (than 360 hours)
2 download global ROM from some where.
3 flash in fastboot.
Any advice on that? Is it difficult to flash? Anything I missed? Do I need turn any other options in develop mode like USB debug or anything similar?

If you plan to unlock UBL first you can flash the recovery rom via updater instead flashing via fastboot. It is more convenient if you rarely touch the pc
redmi note 5 is VINCE
redmi note 5 pro is WHYRED
so any miui rom having name mentioned VINCE is NOT for you!

Yes you need UBL before flashing recovery rom via updater. You will find 2 version of MIUI on their website, fastboot and recovery version

Normally when you are on Official stable or developer MIUI ROM, you can just download the recovery file of any other Official MIUI rom and use the updater app(just select the update package and it will start installing). It works a lot of the times. So you dont really need unlocked bootloader if this method works. Please note that it works on official MIUI roms only.
In case it doesn't work you need to unlock the bootloader. Then you have two options. Either you can use TWRP recovery to flash recovery file ROMS(usually a .zip file). Or you can use fastboot roms for which you need a pc(with miflash tool).
One ANNOYING thing about bootloader unlocking. You have to add the Mi account to your phone manually(in developer options). After that there is a cooldown of 72,360 or 720 hours depending on your phone model. Mostly its 720 hours now. After the cooldown you can unlock your bootloader.

In some places the Redmi 5 plus is known as simply the Redmi Note 5. It causes a lot of confusion.

Thanks for your clarification. I got one zip file from miui global forum download page. It looks like to be the recovery file you mentioned. Thank God I knew this from you since I thought it was the full fastboot flashable ROM. Who knows what will happen if I flash it via fastboot.
Another one from this forum is a tgz, unzip to tar. It might be the proper fastboot file but a version before anti rollback. I need to get the new phone in hand to check if I can flash it nor not.
I got my mi account e months ago. Should be OK to flash without waiting 720h. Hope so at least.

You need Unlocked bootloader to flash fastboot ROM. MiFlash will throw error message saying this cannot be flashed in locked bootloader.
One advantage of MiFlash is, software checks bootloader index and if you try to flash older version arb3 ROM(without antirollback) then software throws error message, unable to flash because bootloader index(anti3) is lesser than the present bootloader index(anti4)
Most of the people bricked their device while flashing older version of MIUI ROM in TWRP because twrp recovery will not check bootloader index value
Downloaded recovery ROM name starts with HMNote5ProGlobal
and downloaded fastboot ROM name starts with WHYRED these ROMs are for Redmi note 5 Pro (Indian version) and Redmi Note 5 (Global)
In India we have Redmi note 5 (Redmi 5 plus global) codenamed Vince

Unfortunately, that wont work. My mi account is really old(3 years, unlocked bootloader of note 3 and 3 pro). Still I had to wait for 360h after adding mi account to my new Note 5 AI. And there is a new rule afaik and the waiting period is 720 hours now. Which translates to about a month. It is really frustrating, I know.
One more thing, "adding mi account" is not just logging in your mi account of your phone. You have to add the account in developer options.

Ah.... That's the worst info. 720h is too....Too long. Dam xiaomi.
Do you have the link of ROM you flashed to China redmi note 5 AI? I need to make sure flash the right one.
Hello friends. I just received my phone xiaomi redmi note 5 pro Chinese version of honkong goldway.
Currently the bootloader is unlocked (the seller said that) and there is a global rom that is installed: 8.8.2 beta.
I would like to install the miui 10 stable rom xiaomi.eu Is this safe? and if so, what is the procedure to do? Thank you in advance.
Hello Everyone, I was running miui 10 beta weekly when I stopped getting software updates - which I assume was because the stable version was out. So I thought of trying out custom ROMs but sadly, none of the ROMs give me as much SOT as miui 10. I'm on RR 6.2.0 with TWRP. I downloaded the official miui 10.0.1.0 ROM but I'm unable to flash it in TWRP. Is there any way to install it?
And it's a Redmi Note 5 AI Global Variant, but now in settings of Official RR 6.2.0 it says "Redmi Note 5 Pro" which is the Indian Variant, can that be the reason why I'm unable to flash the Redmi Note 5 Global Stable ROM?
If you want to go back to fully stock I'd recommend to use Miflash, the official Xiaomi flashing utility. Just go to en.miui.com to download latest rom for your device and follow the instructions on there to install.

I have miflash and I have flashed other Mi phones in fastboot mode with it. But I just can't find a fastboot ROM for miui 10 for Redmi note 5 global. Have you come across one? I googled and came up with nothing.

Hello members,
Can somebody conform me that its possible or safe to flash the official MIUI 12 rom available in XDA on the Indian variant Note 8 pro? Because the rom has mentioned as begonia which is a global variant firmware. I need to clarify so that things don't turn bad.

yes , as long as it's not beta and it's stable official and has fastboot rom. don't try to flash beta on mtk devices xiaomi already warned rn 8 pro users about it , even if it's stable beta , it's better to wait also xiaomi warned about messing with rn8 pro firmware.
