today indian version got 8.1 update. cant we get that ROM?
ive tried using vpn for china and mine still says system up to date ,mine is on 7.1.1 nov 6th security patch,i think its cos our phone has unofficial playstore app that it wont update. there is a mena firmware update which it says is for our variant on nokia 6 forum but nobody has said if it definitely for second gen ta-1054 ,if it is you could flash it and install all updates manually ,but im waiting untill someone lets me know if its legit has i dont want to brick my new phone
There was one rom in the nokia-6 MENA method, but I could not get it on my phone tho, also no reply on the topic for solution.
I sent back the chinese one, and ordered a global version from amazon.
But after a while there should be systems dumps, or updates to flash.
Anyone else tried flashing mena 2nd gen firmware from Nokia 6 link ?

Can you send me the link to that ROM? Thanks.
it wont work bud you cant unlock the bootloader ive been trying for weeks
I tried the PL2-064D-0-00CN-B05.nb0, from this link:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1t64iHuQQjmMnzcujZtjYplh6ipbiF6Cw?usp=sharing
To obtain tools look here:

But try at your own risk
Mine survived tho, but no luck ob upgrading.

Did you try it, or?
I've tried it numerous times always fails log says cannot flash locked device
Any progress?
Ive tried installing the latest play store APK as well as China VPN and India/Netherlands as they have started to receive their 8.1 updates (apparently) but nothing.
Im stuck on 7.1.1 and the Nov 2017 security update.
Also, has anyone else tried USB/WiFi/BT tethering...none of these are working (AUS on Telstra). Has anyone else tried?
It worked fine on Oppo phone so its not the carrier and I have checked the APN info.
Another Q..
If the phone is unlocked, would you be able to flash the RoW firmware thats currently being rolled out or are you limited to the (not currently available) TA-1054 only?
Nokia Model: TA-1054 is this version china or global
got a TA-1054 here today in China. Updated 6 times all the way to 8.1.0 without issue.
once bootloader unlocking is available you can flash global firmware just be patient bud
@safron35. Yep..but my reason for wanting the update is so i get tethering. Currently at 7.11 all the tethering (wifi, USB and BT) on my phone is broken. I've had to resort back to using my Oppo until I can get it working as I need this functionality for my work.
@pola..Thanks for the heads up..I'll try connecting my VPN to a Chinese server again and see how it goes.
Anyone know what they use as a check/verification for location?
The ta-1054 is Chinese custom ROM if its on 7.1.1 Nov patch and will not update until you unlock bootloader and flash original firmware ,no matter what you try
Ah..got it. Thx for the info.
Another Q if that's ok? ....if it's had a custom F/W flashed this would mean it's already had its bootloader unlocked yes?
Could please someone let me know if I can install Indian rom on global version phone, and please share the way to install.
Yes, You can Install it.
The Process are
- Unlock Bootloader using Mi Unlock Tool.
- Download Fastboot Rom of Indian Version.
- Download MiFlash Tool and while flashing, Don't Select "Clean all and lock" option. Just select only "Clean all" option to avoid brick issue.
*Note: Unlocking Bootloader will erase user data. If device got brick, only option to fix it is to take it to service center.
I'm gonna do this tonight, been waiting 7 days to unlock bootloader, just for this.
The only reason I'm doing this is to get stock MIUI Dialer and messaging app, with default call recording built-in.
Can someone confirm this?

Yas miui dialer and message apps are available in Indian rom
But there is no NFC on Indian rom, right?

No NFC hardware in device itself. So, No NFC in Indian Rom.
So have you done it and did it Work? I don't wanna brick my phone while doing this.

Alexa does work but make sure to turn off Alexa hands-free in the notification toggle. My device couldn't play audio, auto-brightness didn't work and videos were sped up. After turning it off everything worked again.
NFC is nowhere available, not as a toggle and not in the settings.

Actually way more boring than I thought. Flashed the China Rom after that and that also sucked. I'm now back on EEA
Can you also tell how to install the Android 10 rom on Indian device? I've been waiting for so long but the Indian Rom is still stuck on 11.0.4

Now i am back on the Indonesian one and it's quite good and looks better than the EEA and Global rom.

Android 10 hasn't been launched yet in india or on global rom but might come in a week or 2 since china already received it.
Hello. My miui version is Global 11.0.4. Can I install Indian Rom with version 11.0.2?

If your bootloader is unlocked and you flash the whole Rom using fastboot, it should not be a problem.
I've read about some anti-rollback 'feature' on some roms, but that would be from Android 10 I think.
Both the versions you mentioned being Android 9 they should not have it.
PS: If you flash IN Rom you are going to loose NFC.
Having the preloader and lk already installed as the megathread intrudes, just need to follow the same steps indicated here?
Do I need to reinstall it after the flash of the Indian version?
Thanks.
Hey guys,
Indonesian or Malaysian rom does have the mi dialer with call recorder and NFC support?

no it doesn't only global devices rom get nfc hardware so is software support , conclusion is any device sold officially outside india is global rom and have nfc , i tried indian rom but problem is to make something like that you need to make a custom rom with these features which is nearly impossible because mediatek doesn't care about its' customers and its' restrictions are beyond insane , that's why xiaomi.eu ended support for mediatek phones because of bad platform and crazy restrictions that blocks developers from having freedom that they get on snapdragon platform , it's not xiaomi's fault.

You can switch from chinese to global rom(or indian rom if you want inbuilt call recording option) after unlocking bootloader and debloat it all after rooting..Or maybe just flash custom roms .

Hello Robert
I have ordered CN version Oct, and i have been using it ever since. Out of the box you will get 18w charger with adapter which is very good, i live in Bosina, both sims are working fine 4G works too. There is not much to be worried about in CN version it works great it gets latest builds of MIUI (compared to other versions). Only thing that was kinda a nitpick and kinda annoying for me from start is that you get few standard Chinese apps that you can delete, and some of main Mi apps keep giving notifications in CN like mi videos and very other few, but rarely and they can be blocked. When you power on a device for a first time and creating Mi account you will have to install gapps which you can do over integrated mi store as i can remember (just type google no need for Chinese fonts). After doing that and logging into your google account i recommend you to unlock bootloader, you will have to make a request for unlocking it takes 160+ hours for it to get approved. Install xiaomi.eu rom which is cleaned and optimized CN miui for global users with xiaomi devices and regular updates and builds. I am currently using xiaomi.eu rom its fast, it has also ability to update it with updater in system. Anyway it is up to your preference what you want from device, you can try to install global firmware without unlocked bootloader you can try, if you want or some other custom rom with unlocked bootloader.
Best regards
I posted this on OP9 forum but OP9 Pro forum looks more active, sorry in advance.
I bought a OP9 chinese model LE2110, my software is oxygen OS 11.2.3.3 LE25DA (indian)
I want global version because this one has some bloatware and indian company cloud notifications that i dont want.
Is it possible to change it to international version? i downloaded the global one but i cant install it (local) because its a downgrade or equal to my current one. i updated to the latest version when setting up my phone.
The chinese version/model doesnt have wireless charging, so if there is a problem with compatability, can I change back to the indian variant?
note: I dont care about my data i can format everything, my old phone still works and I can transfer all data later.

i think u can as i have changed from EU to indian OOS - i couldnt wait to try 11.2.4.4 lol
But the key is it must be later version that yr current OOS which means u are on 11.2.3.3 to EU 11.2.3.3 it will not work - that was based on my experience.
Agree with u the bloatwares are annoying.. perhaps i will go back to EU once a newer than 4.4 is out.
So far, all seems to work. I cant comment for 5G as its not available in my telcom

Wait so if a new update comes, and I DONT update. I can manually download the new international version from Oneplus website and do a local update? Then It will switch to the international version?
I hope they make a new update soon..

I know you have the non pro china model but just to know, you have after switching to oxygen does the following are working?
5G, 4g+ (carrier aggregation), volte, google pay? and in which country are you?
Oh I just did local upgrade from India 4.4 to eu 4.4, it works.. So I think u can downloading and do it. Worst case, use oxygen updater and change back to global and revert
I see.. when you switched to eu 4.4, did it remove Cloud Service (indian version has this advertisement)? or Red Cable Club?

Sorry I just read your message.
I didn't switch to oxygen, i think the seller did the switch and shipped it to me.
4G works, 5G doesnt work. Im in Saudi Arabia.
I don't use google pay but there is NFC.
Check Signals/Bands for each phone version, and the signals and bands that your carrier use. You can find them in the specifications for each phone

Hi there, is there any way to force installing also an older version of EU OS?
I mean via fastboot or magisk?
No it's not possible i was confirm about it from multiple experts even from lightweight tennis stringing machines experts too but it's not working.
hey guys,
since i successfully flashed my Mi Pad 5 from CN to Global Rom a new problem occured.
I lost the google play protect status and cant install apps like netflix via the playstore. manual way with apk download works fine.
is there any possibility to get the google play protect status again?
tried different methods from google instructions but they didnt work.
my bootloader is still unlocked - is this the problem? its not rooted
thx
Hi,
I had the same problem and I learned that it's a problem you have to live with if you wanna use the global ROM.
Google Play certification and Netflix DRM require the bootloader to be locked BUT if you the bootloader is locked, the global ROM won't boot on a China device.
BE CAREFUL! If you unlink your Mi account and lock the bootloader while using the global ROM, you won't be able to unlock the bootloader easily, essentially bricking the device.
In my case, I went back to the China ROM since I bought the tablet mainly to watch Netflix.
It's true some features are missing on the Chinese ROM (like Google Assistant) and I still have some Chinese text in "Search" but Netflix works perfectly and I use my phone as my daily driver so I don't really need the missing features on Xiaomi Pad 5.
My suggestion is to flash back to China ROM and stay with it. Make sure you still have your Mi account linked to the device to avoid any bricking.

i'm considering to buy the mipad from aliexpress. it's the chinese device with either chinese or global rom. i don't know which one to chose. i don't mind that the firmware will be in english, but i use hebrew in the apps. can you share regarding the differences between the two roms?

Thank you. I really dont understand anything in this regard. Is there any chance that your device doesnt have the firmware found on a Chinese device with global rom from aliexpress? (so your experience might not be relevant here)
