[Q] Just bought this device: do I need to flash the rom?

Hi everyone. I am new to this sub.
Was wondering if my device is ready to use, or do I need to flash it.
Ordered global rom, but not sure if this is stock. Don't want bloat, and need google play store.
Thank you!

Hey! If its genuinely a Global version the writing on the box should be in English, and if the handset hasn't been tampered with the box should come sealed in cellophane.
If that's the case then you shouldn't have to flash anything at all. If the handset comes with the Chinese ROM installed and you want native Google Apps you'll have to flash the Global ROM

Whether its China or Global it doesn't matter. Flashing to Global ROM is straightforward, risk free and takes just 10 minutes.

check your MIUI rom version. if your rom version is not four digits with 3 dots, e.g: 8.1.2.0 then yours is not on official rom.
if it is not on official MIUI rom, then its always good to flash with the stable global MIUI rom.

Hey, AFAIK the latest stable Global ROM is: MIUI Global 8.1 | Stable 8.1.4.0 - Android 6.0.1 - Security Patch Level 2016-12-01
Try running the system updater app and see if you can grab the latest OTA
(System -> About Phone -> System Updates [at the bottom])

That should be unofficial rom or usually called distributor rom. Usually you will encounter ads.
So if its me, i will flash it with official rom. The latest version is 8.1.6.0 global miui

I just got mine from ordering from Aliexpress also, I think from the Xiaomi direct store. Just received it and I did get to choose English and it does have Google Play Store. I found it weird and interesting that I couldn't select US as the locale so I selected HK for now.
Oh forgot to mention my box was all in Chinese. I've also updated from some version of 8 to 8.1.4.0 stable.

Thank in advance

Working fingerprint build prop?

I'm currently on Android 9 Pie Global Beta and am unable to pass Safetynet without a legit fingerprint prop (Didn't manage to copy prop before updating to global beta from global stable)
Can anyone here on global stable share me the fingerprint prop? Currently using this
ro.build.fingerprint=OnePlus/OnePlus6/OnePlus6:8.1.0/OPM1.171019.011/06140300:user/release-keys
But Device Manager shows my device as a OnePlus Device which is a little annoying.
Thanks

Yeah it also doesn't work for me and apparently night mode does not exist yet in 9.1.24 on Mi Max 3
Regret updating :/ but I don't use Google Pay often so not in a rush to fix it
Guess will just have to wait for next update

Well for me it's in the screen setting. It's called dark mode but it only makes a few apps dark themed like the phone dialer and the gallery app

Question Did anyone try Mi11X Global ROM provided by Xiaomi?

Hi Everyone,
Did anyone try the Below Global ROM provided by Xiaomi, if yes may I know if this ROM has MIUI Dialer & Messages app? I was not comfortable with Google Dialer/Messages app which is provided in Indian ROMs. So I wanted to shift to Global ROM in case if it has MIUI Dialer/Messages.

Ok, will do but i was a bit confused since it said global but the name referring to EEA which EU..... didn't wanna brick the phone.
Also do i have to be unlocked to upgrade?

Yeah, True. EEA is EU and Mi is global. Its confusing. I guess if you try to Update manually with inbuilt Updater (three dot) the Phone will only Flash correct Roms because without open bootloader you cant switch from EU to global oder Chinese etc.

It's quite tricky because as I checked with Mi9 you can swap regions hassle free with XiaoMiTool V2. Even with locked BL. Here, with F3 I haven't checked yet because... I'm a bit scared of getting a brick :/
With stock recovery you can easy upgrade (with correct FW ofc). Go to updater app in settings, tap at MIUI12 logo few times until some text appears. Then, 3 dots and choose local file with FW and go ahead with updating. I have done it to 12.5.6 (stable beta).

There is no beta, it's only stable....if im choosing the correct FW

Apologise, I downloaded it from somewhere else where it shows as stable beta (whatever it is - they also said is stable but not fully send to users).
But yeah, go ahead with full recovery rom.

Cheers, downloading rn.
I just click the 3 dots and all should be good? I'm locked with BL also.
Thanks in advance.

Click it and check if you have option like choose update package. If not, you must tap at miui_logo as long and you see 'additional update features are on' notification.
