Rebrand T-Mobile 7T to global rom.

I have the instructions for unlocking the bootloader and converting a T-Mobile oneplus 7T to the global rom. But I have a few follow-up questions.
Will OTA updates work as expected after flashing the global rom?
It's it possible and safe to relock the bootloader after flashing the global rom? To ensure the most secure device possible?

Question Miui 12.5.7 Indonesia Rom

Hello All
I am using Mi11X Indian Variant with Indian Miui ROM - Now I want to install Miui Indonesia Rom with the Same Version

1) Which Way have to choose for Flash - Miflash Software or Direct download and using Recovery Method - also heard even without bootloader unlock can flash ROM - Not sure it is working or not specially Mi11X
2) I read it but didn't find proper information regarding Indonesia Rom - Is there any Network Band issue could face in India, Performance, Camera

You first need to read this great guide by RollDload https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/how-to-flash-a-stock-rom-alioth.4355797/ to understand how to flash stock MIUI in the right way.
I can't answere about device compatibilty between indian and Indonesian
I hope this will help you
Thank you bonerserk for the reference link
First of all I'm not a pro, so do it with your own risk. But, I knew few things since I've changed my Rom back and forth using ID ROM, EU, CN, and many others Custom Rom.
In response of ur questions:
1 & 3. I recommend using Mi Flash Tool. Download the tool, and the required ROM (the FASTBOOT one, since you want to use the ID ROM, there's only 12.5.6 version for the FASTBOOT Rom) using the thread link provided by @bonerserk follow the instructions CAREFULLY.
2. Didn't know the answer.
4. It depends on ur needs. If you just want to remove the Chinese Bloatware, then the Global Rom is suitable since it has less Chinese bloatware.
Thanks, @the.ogeph for the response - After reading the Flashing method come to know Xiaomi implement Anti Rollback features in Some Model - also in Mi11X I didn't get a three-dot option (Additional Features) on Settings->About Phone - Where Some Model has this option - Now I am confused is Mi11X has implemented this features or not? If I Try and stuck due to Anti Rollback then there is no solution available as of now.
Which Device do you have? I didn't find any Mi11X owner who tried this
That's why I recommend you to use Miflash tool. You could bypass the ARB Protection by editing the (.bat) file line command. Just google it or watch tutorial on Yt.
Please follow the instruction really carefully. I've soft bricked my phone once because I skipped 1 step.

Without using Custom Kernel and any other tweek, EU is the best for Battery Life. Try using EU MIUI 13 A12, its quite good for daily use.

Have you unlocked Bootloader - Because nowadays lots of tutorials show change ROM with Locked Bootloader - EU Rom has Google dialer or Stock MIUI Dialer?

Yes I've unlocked my phone, probably a week after I bought my F3 phone.
Probably I was wrong, but I don't believe you can change Rom (Stock or Custom) without unlocking ur phone.
EU has MIUI Dialer.

No, please do not flash (even Stock Rom with different region) with Miflash tool without unlocking ur Bootloader. I really don't think u can do that.
Yes - Definitely will not try with Locked Bootloader - Once unlocked then will try - But one more thing - After Unlock which Version I Should try of EU Rom - Currently I am using Global MIUI 12.5.7 Version
Unlocked bootloader Receive OTA ? or have to manually Push?
Can I flash EU ROM with Locked Bootloader using Miflash Official Tool? because I am waiting for 10+ days to unlock the bootloader response from Xiaomi
Can anyone confirm please

xiaomi.EU rom is a custom rom based on miui, so you need to unlock bootloader to install it and it didnt use miflash official tool to flash
But I have watched lots of videos where people change Xiaomi ROM with the different regions such as Global to EU, Indonesia, China with the locked bootloaders - for Only Mi11X not able to find any Source

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.

Question Change ROM from China to Global

Hello my friends,
I just bought the Chinese version of the IQOO 9 Pro, and I like it very much, but I have some issues with it which I didn't expect, like Google services doesn't update automatically, Android Auto doesn't work at all, part of the software is in Chinese and more..
So I decided I want to flash the global (or India) ROM, and as I understand it requires root access. So I know what it is and all the meanings of this, but I never rooted a phone and I'm afraid I don't know what to do, how to do it and mainly what to do after the device is rooted in order to flash the global ROM.
I saw some walkthroughs on the web, but I'm not sure it's exactly what I'm looking for in my case.
for example, I saw this one: Vivo Iqoo 9 Pro PD2172F Firmware Flash File (Stock ROM Guide)
But I'm not sure if it will work on my Chinese phone (PD2172C).
Maybe this one is more relevant ?
How To Install Custom Rom On Vivo IQOO 9 Pro
I mean, can I treat the official global ROM as a "custom ROM" and use this method ?
Any help with what exactly I should do to change the ROM will be very appreciated.
Thanks!

Yea, yea .. first and foremost you have to unlock bootloader and after that you can istall global (India) ROM. You do not root the ROM. The simple problem is how to unlock the bootloader because Vivo does not permit to do it.

Question How to update to 12.5.9 ?

Hello,
My lisa came with 12.5.5 out of the box. OTA offers direct to 13.0.2. Is there anyway I can upgrade to 12.5.9 ? I don't want to upgrade to A12 atm, or anytime soon really.
Indian firware if that matters.
I see xiaomi.eu has a version of 12.5.9 which is no longer updated, but lisa isn't listed on the compatible device list.
Thanks

First of all, some basics (not sure are you aware of):
1) If your phone came with Indian, you can update but only to Indian firmware without unlocking your Bootloader:
Install MIUI Recovery ROM using Stock Recovery and Updater App
Has your Xiaomi phone received a new MIUI update? Then follow this guide to easily install MIUI Recovery ROM using stock recovery and Updater app on Xiaomi devices. Any smartphone user prefers getting…
www.thecustomdroid.com
In that case you will need to download the so-called Recovery or ZIP stock firmware and use the installation as above
2) For anything else, like switching from Indian to Global or EEA (or to Russian or Chinese) - they are all stock ROMs, or switching to Xiaomi.eu - that is not stock ROM, or any other custom (ie, not stock) ROM, you would first have to unlock Bootloader
AFAIK, Xiaomi.eu has no 12.5 for Lisa, only 13.0 - hence not applicable if you insist on 12.5
To switch from Indian to Global or EEA (still stock ROMs), you will need the unlocked Bootloader, the so-called Fastboot or TGZ firmware (and MiFlash tool):
How to Flash Fastboot ROMs on Xiaomi? - xiaomiui
If you are a Xiaomi user and have installed custom ROMs on your device, then you might be wondering how to flash fastboot ROMs on Xiaomi devices. This article
xiaomiui.net
---
I don't know where do you see 12.5.9 for Lisa - I had 12.5.8 EEA) , but there should be not much difference
Anyway, install the following app and you can check which versions are available for Lisa (for stock Global, EEA, Indian, etc) or custom Xiaomi.eu:
MIUI Downloader - Apps on Google Play
MIUI upgrade app for Mi users.
play.google.com
It shows the Latest but click on Older and you will see all the previously released (stable) versions.
Btw, under Indian, I don't find 12.5.9, neither under Global or EEA (under Global there are eg 12.5.11 and 12.5.14)
From the app, you can also choose and download Recovery (zip) or Fastboot (tgz) stock ROM for the wanted version - depending on your flashing method as above
thank you very much. I did request to unlock the bootloader in the mi unlock app, but all the custom A11 roms stopped development or moved onto A12, so I didn't see much point in unlocking bootloader.
as i understand, if i am on the indian firmware, i can flash the indian rom without BL unlock. but if BL is unlocked, do i need to switch firmware as well to install say the Global ROM ?
about 12.5.9, i mistook it as the last version before they moved to 13. sorry about that.

When you unlock Bootloader it does not prevent you to update India ROM by stock Recovery method
It just gives you the additional option to switch eg to Global by flashing Fastboot/tgz ROM
Its like, you can always go by foot, but if you have a car, you have the additional option to go by car
Please take your time, Google, read to acquire further knowledge and know-how.
There are tons of guides here on XDA, on the Net, Google videos, etc
