you can flash beta but again , at your own risk and it's not 100% free of bugs.https://i.imgur.com/noBlGXC.jpg

trying to get miui beta without mi pilot account and also without unlocked Boot and twrp is like trying to start a dead engine without repairing it. And No it's not dangerous to unlock bootloader flashing unofficial roms or cfw roms without migrating cfw and flashing factory preloader is dangerous because mediatek gets stuck in edl and it advises download mode that works in sp flash only after logging with authorized account , factory preloader removes the need for authorized account which makes it fully recoverable without paying a penny.

I updated via fastboot before with the official global ROM i heard it's already available so that's why I'm asking if anyone has the link to the official ROM nothing more nothing less

Hello,
I bought a 64gb version throw gearbest and they installed a vendors version 7.3.14.0.0 not oficial rom. With defeats the purpose of the bootloader being locked.
I want to install the original miui 8 china or miui 8 from xiaomi.eu.
If I unlock my bootloader by submitting the request to xiaomi what I lose? What are the disavantages?
Does the fingerprint reader works on a bootloader unlocked phone with official miui 8 china?
Does it work with xiaomi.eu rom?
What are the features that cease to work with an unlocked bootloader with these two roms?
If I install xiaomi.eu rom without unlock the bootloader using Doom Slayer method I must not update by OTA or I will brick it, right?
And oficial miui 8 can I update by OTA?
Sorry for these questions but is my first xiaomi with locked bootloader and don't want to screw up by not knowing the consequences of each method?
Thanks in advance

The fingerprint will work. But Find phone will not work and it will not be secure. But your phone will be less secure like if gets stolen anybody can flash firmware and you will be loser. With find my phone nobody could even flash firmware . I have got permission within 2 days for unlocking but i have not done but i have flashed chinese firmware by using miflash. the link is here http://en.miui.com/thread-326039-1-1.html. it is very safe that way.

Security is not about flashing, is about protecting your data. Encryption makes phone more secure, not locked bootloader. We have ways to flash whatever we want with locked bootloader... how about that? Do you still fil secure?
Thank you both,
@seking for what I could understand this is the xiaomi.eu rom with even more stuff, right?
Do you have the helium version?
For that rom you just need the miflash to flash the rom via fastboot, right?
This is different from the Doom Slayer method because with it we fastboot the TWRP recovery and then use it to flash the xiaomi rom.
@nijel8, that is my question also the locked bootloader doesn't add security, gearbest flashed a custom rom even with it locked, so the security reason isn't a valid one.
Partition encrypting is only available when the bootloader is locked? If so that is one feature that is gone with unlocking.
If one unlock the bootloader can later lock it again?
With the bootloader locked we can't use miflash tool to flash fastboot rom, right? Only using EDL, and even then from what I could understand the system and data partition need to be formatted and that removes the encryption...
I just want to get rid of a rom that I don't know what is it and install a oficial rom or a rom from good sources like xiaomi.eu
After replace my rom can I update it by OTA or after I must update only by fastboot ot TWRP?
Thanks again
Bootloader status has nothing to do with encryption. Encryption always is a user option in any ROM... Not sure about MIUI though b/c they enforce encryption on both system and userdata partitions in ramdisk fstab so no user choice as far as I know. And yes... You can always lock bootloader back but will loose your data in process.
Not going to answer the second set of questions (see my signature ) not b/c I don't know but b/c never done it myself so yeah...
mi max is comparatively new phone. there are notnmany roms. development still new. therefore be careful of what you flash. for hardbrick solving we have to open the back cover which is risky. i have taken the safe mthod of not unlocking it. i flashed the rom on the locked rom with miflash via EDL. one can always flash the official rom through twrp and you will be safe.
Thanks a lot you two.
Trying to get the most information before doing something wrong.
Don't worry... Mi Max poves to be die hard phone...
Hi there I have the chance to get two of these good smartphones in China for a good price. The problem is that they have the Chinese rom on it and my parents need the italian language. Will it be possible to flash the global rom or just add the italian language?
Thanks.

Based on my experience b4 unlocking 5A, the only way you can switch from China to Global is to flash it via test point. Unless you've unlocked the phone, you could flash it via fastboot. Is your 5A unlocked yet?

Yep, that's all you need to do. After an unlock, you do have the option to relock your bootloader (which maybe you're already familiar with). The guide is on the miui forums. Good luck!

Got a new RN5 China version yesterday. It came with 9.5.12A Chinese ROM. I'm going to flash global ROM by myself to get all Google service and debloated. Found some posts here regarding flashing global from 9.5.13. However, have 2 questions now:
1. Someone warned bricked device due to xiaomi new restrictions released recently to prevent flashing global from on Chinese version. I may not be able to flash global from on Chinese version. (Yes I knew it's Chinese version as my the other one has English characters on the box, but this one has all Chinese characters). Is it possible now?
2. Will I get ota after flashing global from if q1 is yes?
If you only needed Google application like play store and used only English, thank look into this thread about Google installer:

Thanks, but I'd like to get rid of Chinese adware as well. The existing global version of note 5 works really well and that's why I bought another one. I got this one China version to avoid waiting time. But sadly xiaomi made things more complicated now. I hope I could flash it without bricking as it's fresh arrived last night. If bricked, money throwing in the water.
Unlock bootloader and flash global stable fastboot ROM.
Yes you will get OTA update
but dont lock bootloader after flashing global ROM
and you have to wait 360 to 720 hours before unlocking the bootloader

ok, it looks like i dont need 3rd party recovery at all. just flash using the official flashing tools.
got the dame 10.0.2 updates minutes ago and auto reboot to install.
maybe i have to flash some global rom with anti4 flag on.

Yes you have to flash global ROM which has anti4 or else MiFlash throws error message saying bootloader index value is lesser than the present bootloader index value
And there won't be any chances of bricking a device if you use MiFlash

Tried to unlock bootloader using developer option "Mi unlock status". Whenever I press the "Add account and device" always give me this error!
"Request parameter error"
Does it happen also to you? any ideas to solve this problem?
me too same error.
there are many users that happens this..
it seems only on global rom.
maybe we can flash chinese rom then unlock boot and the reflash global rom but the problem is that there isnt global packet rom at this moment
I have seen this happen to multiple people.
It seems to be an issue of the Global ROM
The best we can do is for everyone to report it to Xiaomi and wait for a ROM update I guess..

Same problem here with my newly Global Mi Pad 5.
When trying to associate Mi account in Dev options, tablet returns me this error.

i just bought the mi 10T global version a week ago and update it to miui 12.0.11 and didn't recieve any ohter OTA.

Thanks in advance

The problem if you do not lock the bootloader, the play store will not be certified, which means that certain apps like Netflix, will not be available, also certain banking apps will not work. The solution being to root and use Magisk hide .
Locking the bootloader is possible provided your phone is not a Chinese version.
All this is useless with a Xiaomi Eu rom (playstore certified without root).
BTW:
Your first link has already been posted.
The second ?.
The third has nothing to do with the subject.
Didn`t have time to read all so i posted what he needs to get the update. Second link is where to get the rom, and third link of video tutorial has everything to do with subject because guy in the video shows how to flash official rom to your phone and what to do if flashing gives error. So it was meant for him to watch, not for others who need netflix. But if he needs netflix he can just ignore most of recommendations here and just root his phone if he knows how and finds some simple way so he doesn`t brick his phone

After using Mi unlock you will have to wait 168 hours to finalize the procedure.
Then use Miflash to flash the A12 rom, first do not relock the bootloader, check that everything works and that A12 suits you then lock the bootloader if you do not want to try other roms like Xaiomi EU rom.
Mi unlock and Miflash will erase all your data.

one more thing sir and sorry for that. the process with xaiomi phones is a bit different i used to do it with samsung phones.
i did all the steps to unlock the bootloader
and tells me to wait 168 hours to unlock.
now should i use the phone normally and what things not to do untill the 168 hours complete
and finally when flashing the rom.how to prevent re-locking the bootloader and how to lock it if i want to.
thank you best regards
