Because according to my online seller it does.
Question roughly translates to: Which ROM? If I encounter any issues can you help to claim the warranty (to China)?
He answered "Global ROM. Yes I can help"
But the question now is: does a global official stable ROM even exist for this phone? Isn't it China-only?
I bought the MI 5s Plus 64 GB in China a few days ago. I can confirm you there is no Global ROM yet. However, the stock Chinese ROM has English as language. You can also install Google Play Store and uninstall any bloatware default apps.
There is an Unofficial EU ROM if you wish to try.

I got the Mi5s (not plus) last week and it shipped with miui 8 global rom including pretty much any language not just english and chinese!
Please note that the MIUI rom could be manipulated by the guy who installed it. Currently there is no official global rom from Xiaomi for the 5s. All the currently sold ones with Global ROM are unpacked by the seller and reinstalled with some MIUI rom, which could be manipulated. Also OTA updates won't work with those mobiles
I'm also waiting for an official global rom, it's just not sure yet if there will be one.
I bought this phone with chinese rom and I was going to flash global rom as soon as it is released. but I'm not planning to change the rom anymore. I have debloated it myself and I'm happy with it at the moment.
I have to admit, I'm pretty disappointed. I honestly didn't realize I wouldn't be getting official MIUI.
Is there any particular way for me to see if there is any harmful backdoor software installed? So far this "global ROM (8.6.10.0)" seems solid enough, all functions seem to work except that when I go into the updater and try to choose an install package it tells me to install file explorer first....
I'm downloading the stable, official Chinese ROM right now... Not sure if I'll install it or not though...

I got such a vendor "global" rom, tried to flash with official chinese zip, did not work -> verification problem.
unlocked bootloader, flashed twrp and xiaomi eu rom based on official chinesese developer rom..
Will wait for global rom as chinese rom is too much bloated..
If they launch it in india(hope so), global rom will exist, otherwise xiaomi eu forever...

So, you had success in unlocking BL and flashing twrp? Did you follow a guide? Do you have a link?

All good for me except fingerprint (may be due to plastic cover.. will try later after receiving my tempered glass)
I have an mi account which i used for unlocking..
You can create an account then use this link
http://en.miui.com/unlock/
Once they approve they will send a mail with link to download the unlocking software
You should install that, then run it and login in that..
You can unlock it there
install required tools- fastboot ... drivers.. (for me standard android sdk was sufficient...)
After installing those..
You should shutdown device completely then hold volume down and power button at same time to enter fastboot mode
Then connect mobile using cable to your pc
below command should list your device once connected...
fastboot devices
Download the twrp from link given here http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5s/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-2-0-t3480133
make sure that its for proper device (mine is mi5s not plus)
if it a zip extract the img file.. then type command
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
then to boot in to recovery
fastboot boot twrp.img
my twrp defaults to chinese so to change language refer video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOhR92EKD7A
download xiaomi eu for your device
from here https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/6-10-20.35693/
Then follow standard twrp flashing guidelines..
You can find it everywhere ( >>> Factory Reset >> Wipe select partitions >> install from internal memory if you already copied it there OR sideload using adb from pc)
PS: (I had formatted system partition as well without issues)
my back button was not working properly but after reboot it was ok..
Thank you very much [email protected] for the explanation.
I will try the procedure today evening when i'm home from work.
Update:
worked fine for me. Thank you very much!
Thanks for all the replies, but went ahead and bought the Note 4 instead. Camera is my only complaint against it, otherwise it's a really great first experience with Xiaomi!

I just bought 5s 128 GB in Malaysia which is directly import (not from official dealer) with Stable Global ROM 8.0.10.0.0 (MAGCNDH) Build MXB48T as per attached. There is no bloatware and quite stable.
Can anyone confirm it is a real global ROM from Xiaomi or a modified ROM?

The additional 0 at the end of the MIUI version and the CN in the MAGCNDH shows that it is a chinese ROM which was manipulated.
So you won't be able to update it, and I at least could not unlock the bootloader because the xiaomi tool did not recognize it as a xiaomi phone....
So I built me a deep flash cable and flashed chinese official ROM, unlocked it and flashed TWRP and xiaomi.eu ROM....

Any Guide for that? Or a video guide?
Check this here, source: http://en.miui.com/thread-390697-1-1.html
Here is what I did to get an official ROM instead of the malware infected 8.6.10.0:
At first I have to mention that using the EDL Method is very dangerous because you will probably brick your phone if it goes wrong.
If you are not sure about something better ask here before doing anything wrong. The phone should have a full battery and save all your files because the phone will be wiped during the proccess.
Step 1. Download the latest official MIUI Fastboot ROM for Mi 5s:
http://bigota.d.miui.com/V8.0.10.0....AGCNDH_20160805.0000.29_6.0_cn_49ab3a5120.tgz
(!!! Important - When flashing the ROM with the Xiaomi FlashTool in the step 3. you have browse into the /images Folder. - Browsing into the wrong folder and flashing wrong files will probably brick your phone !!!)
Step 2. Turn your phone into EDL Mode:
http://xiaomitips.com/guide/how-to-put-mi-5-into-edl-mode/
(Use Option #1 - Option #2 and #3 does not work)
Step 3. Use this Tutorial to flash the Fastboot ROM to your device. Use Method #3 , as Method #1 and #2 does not work anyway with the fake ROM 8.6.10.0.
http://xiaomitips.com/guide/how-to-flash-miui-8-fastboot-and-recovery-rom/
( Skip Step 4,5,6 because your phone is already in the EDL Mode)
This helped me out go get the official Chinese ROM 8.0.10.0. Out of this ROM you can use the MIUI Updater function in the phone to install any other official ROM for the Mi 5s.

There will never be a global ROM for this phone.
It's a China only device.
I still have a little hope that they might start to sell it in India, which typically means there will be a global rom. But so far nothing is announced, so at the moment there is no hope for an official and signed global rom.

Xiaomi announced that they will not sell it in India.
When Hugo Barra says it wont be sold in India, then it wont be sold in India.

My Mi 5s has the same ROM and it works flawlessly. Benchmark results are far ahead compering to those from reviews on YouTube. I was able to unlock bootloader in first try, no problem. If you use Windows 10 make sure to load proper drivers. I don't believe that any reseller is able to compile such perfectly working ROM. It must be Xiaomi that stay behind this, but this is what I believe. As you sad all languages are there and even some you don't find in official global ROM. I will keep this one until official global I released. Be patient.
Hello friends,
I am very happy with LineageOs 16 in my klte (samsung s5) device so far. Zero problems for me.
I have just bought a Xiaomi Redmi 7a , and I am willing to give it a go.
I couldn't find Redmi 7a on LineageOs downloads. I presume it is not supported yet. Anyway I am willing to try most compatible image on it.
My question is:
Which image should I install? (violet ?)
What do you think major problems would be, since I will install another phone's image?
Many Thanks

Hi there and please forgive my english.
unfortunatly it is not that easy.. the best thing you can do is to unlock bootloader first using xiaomi miflashunlock, afterward you can head to this thread and, if you are able to follow all the instructions (and sadly i ve been not :crying you'll be on an unofficial lineage os rom.

Hi,
Has anyone been successful in flashing the Android 10 GSI? Especially if you are using the Chinese RN8. Would like to hear how you've done it.
Thanks in advance.
Edit:
Managed to do it using resources from the Redmi Note 8 Discussions Telegram Channel. Just do a search for it and you'd likely find it.
Currently running PE Android 10 Unofficial. Some bugs but as this is a secondary phone not a big deal to me.
Same question here. I can see in phhusson's Github documentation that Redmi Note 8 is one of the devices which has successfully booted his AOSP GSI and I can't see any indepth guide and discussion on how it can be done here in XDA.
Some do claim that they were able to run it while here I am trying to make it work with no success. Be it AOSP 9 GSI or 10 it just won't work at all. I followed the GSI installation tutorial for the Mi 8 here with the same old results. The Redmi logo just keeps on bootlooping after following all instructions.
If there's anyone who were really able to boot these GSIs to their Ginkgos, do leave a reply here on what worked for you so that we can also give it a try. Much appreciated.
Hey,
I've try to flash GSI (phh-treble 10 V208) But the phone direct reboot in TWRP after that.... I wipe everything except vendor and flash gsi throught system but nothing work...
Also I have 8T (Willow) but it should works the same as Ginko... Any helps ?
I'm still waiting to get my ginkgo, but I found this, could it help?

Thanks man. I'm miles away from the scene hence why I'm safe.
Going back, I still can't figure out how to make those GSIs work. I'll ask those on the Telegram group where that link originated from so that I can check whether someone was really able to make it work.
Good idea, I'm checking it too. Just got my RN8, and once I get back home I'll unlock it and give it a try.
Important! On this device run only Arm64 AB gsi rom!!!

Vendor and kernel to flash gsi.
Giving a bump here as I've managed to do this. See OP for info.

You could use the Miflash tool and the original Rom from Xiaomi to get the phone back to live.
My A2 lite was also softbricked after a try with a custom rom.
I sitched from TWRP to Orangefox and use Havoc OS.
Havoc OS is based on A11, the next version is under development now.

thanks for you answer, you can make an step by step? I'm new to this kind of thing
You could find a description here.
Take a close look to the section "A) Installing Stock Rom as a Base".
That works fine for me.
After the restart you are able to setup your phone like a new one.
