I just bought my XIAOMI NOTE 10 one week ago and I was so eager to get MIUI 12, but I had to wait since I was on EU GLOBAL ROM. I couldn't flash Masik Rom since I had to wait 7 days because of the timer on the bootloader unlock tool. Anyways, after some researches; I can confirm, this method works WITHOUT UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER. And I'm on MIUI 12 right now.

FOLLOW THESE STEPS:

- Make BACKUP since all data will be lost.
- On your phone, make sure you turn on USB DEBUGGING in DEVELOPER OPTIONS.
- Download Xiaomitool v2 and follow the steps to detect your phone and connect it.
- Choose Miui Official Roms (YOU DON'T NEED TO UNLOCK BOOTLOADER) then CHOOSE GLOBAL if you are coming from EU GLOBAL.
- Wait for the procedure to end, don't rely on the data shown, since it will show crazy numbers lol. You'll know when the installation ends, it will be obvious.
- Once your phone successfully boots and you complete setting it up, head to SETTINGS/ UPDATE/ click on MIUI logo until you unlock additional options.
- From the menu choose CHOOSE UPDATE PACKAGE, and select this file after downloading it: https://bigota.d.miui.com/V12.0.1.0.QFDMIXM/miui_TUCANAGlobal_V12.0.1.0.QFDMIXM_1dec6077cd_10.0.zip (THIS IS THE GLOBAL MIUI 12)
- Accept, wait... enjoy MIUI 12. :good:

I think you mean a locked bootloader. If the ROM, you will flash, is official it should be possible. I don't know why the change from Global to EU is not possible with a locked bootloader.
Yes, I'm asking all the time over flash GLOBAL ROM over EEA ROM without previously unlock the bootloader.
Really is strange, due to the main funcion of the bootloader is to prevent a not specific ROM is flashed.
This is strange also due to you can't flash GLOBAL over EEA in recovery mode. Why is that possible in fastboot mode is a mistery...

Hello, do you know if this tip working for other Xiaomi devices like Redmi Note 8 Pro?
It should be working for your phone too, as long as it's on global eea and you are making the switch to global. And don't forget to download the specific global official miui 12 rom for your device.
