No you need to flash through twrp which needs unlocking bootloader.

But i have seen in YouTube some user switching to beta from stable without unlocking bootloader.

Yes i was asking the same thing. When i unlocked bl on RN4 (and instated TWRP) i have started receiving beta roms but not stable ones aymore, whis is not a problem for me i like updating . I wonder if this is always the case

Why not try yourself via system update?
Edit: Not working.

U tried ? I also have same question

Not yet.. Waiting for someone who will provide a way.
Somewhere in youtube i saw to update to beta rom(without unlocking bootloader) you need to be on a developer rom(you can download developer rom from "en.miui.com") ,which is not yet available for redmi note 5 pro.

Take a look on this article
https://www.xda-developers.com/install-miui-10-xiaomi-redmi-note-5-pro-xiaomi-mi-mix-2-xiaomi-mi-6/
They haven't mentioned about locked bootloader.. that method should work for locked bootloader mobile.
Since my mobile is new I am not interested to try beta ROM.

TWRP will never work with locked bootloader. It's very common term that is why you might not seen lock unlock thing. If only one developer rom available for RN5P then also could be do this without unlocking BL.

Unlock bootloader, flash Global via Mi Flash, relock bootloader to avoid losing warranty (or don't if you feel like tinkering about)
Unlock bootloader can take a long time though.

After some searching, it may not work (you can apparently only relock on China if that was your original ROM), so you might have to use the phone with a unlocked BL.
Basically, don't attempt to flash Global if you want to keep your warranty.

Switch from Global to China/India
Hi there,
I have an EU Global Redmi Note 8 that I bought in UK. I noticed, however, that the call recording function has been pulled from EU devices due to some new nonsense policies so I'd like to switch if possible. I'm just wondering how I could switch from EU to China/India rom, and if possible, lock the bootloader.
Ultimately, I'm happy to switch even if I cannot re-lock, but I'd like to know how even so.
Many thanks

To switch from EU version to global/Indian use mi flash and flash fastboot rom. I recommend flashing indian rom as it has stock mi dialer which has call recording as global rom has google dialer with no call recording feature.

I recommend you don't lock the bootloader if in different region rom as it might cause brick....select "clean_all" in mi flash and NOT "clean_all_and_lock".

Relock bootloader after flashing ROM Indonesia

SOLVED !!!: My Redmi Note 8 Pro is the Global Version, can I block the bootloader without brick risk after flashing the Indonesian ROM?

Some moderator could support me to move the thread to Redmi Note 8 Pro. Thank you
Edit: Thanks @strongst

I confirm that it is possible to close the bootloader after flashing the Indonesian ROM on a Redmi Note 8 Pro Global. To do this, use the MiFlash application and check the "clean all" option. Do not check the option "clean everything and block" in case there is a problem during or after the fhashing.
After I could confirm the ROM was multilingual and that everything worked fine (wifi, data, bluetooth, nfc, spearkers, etc.), I closed the bootloader, put my device in "fastboot" mode and executed the command "fastboot oem lock ".
Before closing the bootloader I didn't see the Netflix application in the Google Play store, after closing the bootloader there was no problem.

They would really be the same steps for any Xiaomi team, so you just need to search the threads of some model. The only variant would be the ROM you need to download, which in this case It would be for the Redmi Note 8 Pro.
Follow the steps in the following link, everything is detailed, it will be good if you are a beginner. regards

Glad it worked for you! :good:
You probably were on a Global flavor of the phone aside from it having a Global Rom.
However I want to stress for others who may be reading this, that if I am not mistaking, based on posts I have read, if your device HW is Chinese flavor, it is absolutely not recommended to relock bootloader after flashing anything as it WILL result into bricking your device.
Edit:
That's exactly what's being said on the tutorial you provided above and that's where I had read about it actually
Here is the part in question.
Edit 2:
DO NOT RE-Lock the Bootloader if you change from China ROM to Global ROM in China phone. Re-Locking will BRICK your phone. Select only "Clean All" option before flashing.

It is right. I also add that you should not lock bootloader, if you have a Global HW and install a Chinese ROM, although hey, I don't know who would do that.

you have to lock in fastboot mode and make sure your MIUI version is the same as the device. for example your device base version is India and you have to flash it with the Indian version to lock the bootloader and make sure it's correct so it doesn't happen hard brick

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
Before flashing have some doubt hope will get the answer here
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
3) Which is the Correct way of Flash
4) Should Flash Region-specific Rom or Global Rom would be better
I must surely get an answer at least from someone

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.

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

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
