Yes, you should be able to flash any official rom.

Thanks for your answer, sorry for the noob questions, this is my first xiaomi deivice, would i be able to install this using the update option in the settings or would i need to use miflash? Thanks again

Built-in updater should probably work, try it out, it will tell you if it doesn't.

I cant get it to install, guess i will have to wait the 360 hrs. Thanks anyway
Tried many different methods but they are all showing that the global rom is not an official rom, unless i am doing something wrong....

On the same boat. I hope somebody can help us. Latest china beta with unlock bootloader. I am guessing we can flash through TWRP but I am not sure and I don't want to brick my device.

Caution, the CRC of drive file is different of other.

The CRC of recovery and yandex it's same.

I have an unlocked bootloader and the Chinese version, I tried flashing the global firmware using TWRP that I installed temporarily ( I wanted to keep the original recovery so I can lock the bootloader later on), I ended up with soft bricked phone, the phone booted to the main Welcome screen of which I can select a preferred language and region, there were tons of languages but only one region (China) and once selected, I started getting error message "Find devices closed unexpected" and the phone kept rebooting. I had to reinstall TWRP and sideload the Chinese firmware from my PC through ADB sideload to get my phone working again.

noneym86 · Jul 19, 2018

Exactly what I was afraid of. I hope official gets released soon via OTA. By the way, can we OTA from China to Global?
