Xiaomi has not release the global version of Mi 10 Pro. Only EEA firmware.
Only Mi 10 has EEA, Global and India firmwares.

Thanks.

For Mi 10 Global (MI) is with Mi Messages & Phone or Google ?

I have 10 Pro Global from HK and it came with Google versions.

 

[jim262]

I have the Chinese version as well and flashed it with Xiaomi.eu rom.

No updates since original bootup. Still on 11.0.2.0 QJAMIXM.

What has confused me though is that my QJA version does not show up on xiaomi's site - theirs says QJB.

What is yours?

This phone is the China rom with Google features. It is a Xiaomi.eu rom, at least mine was. Since this phone comes pre-rooted with an unlocked bootloader, I installed TWRP and flashed the latest version of MIUI 12 from the Xiaomi.eu website. The roms there are based of the Chinese roms, minus the Chinese bloat and with Google features added in. Remember, the EEA or Global version actually supports different bands than the Chinese version. Being in the US and a T-Mobile user, I need bands 2,4,5,&12 which are not supported in the EEA version, but I need the Google services, so flashing the Xiaomi.eu rom gives me the best of both worlds.

I have same firmware. It’s not a Chinese rom as I asked Wondamobile prior to purchase. It’s the Global Hong Kong version.

I also got this checked afterwards by someone else.

If it is a Xiaomi.eu rom, it is based on the China rom with Google services added in by the Xiaomi.eu devs. Go to their website, Xiaomi.eu, and see for yourself.

It’s not the xiaomi.eu , it’s as I said in my previous comment. If you check the included bands, i have the same bands as the global version. The Chinese version has less etc...

The issue is Xiaomi Mi 10 is a runaway success so all the resources have gone on this version. The mi 10 pro has not had the same amount of love. Even the Chinese version hadn’t had much love. You can check this on the official mi forums.

Where did you get your phone from?

Hong Kong is where mine was imported from (Giztop). There are only to versions of this phone. Either the Chinese version or EEA/Global version and they are priced differently too. There's a very limited number of roms this device can run. There's stock EEA/Global or Chinese and then there's the modified MIUI roms from Xiaomi.eu and MIUIMIX, which uses the Xiaomi.eu as it's base. The Xiaomi.eu rom uses stock Chinese as it's base. The stock China rom also has Google services built in. One merely needs to go the Xiaomi store and download Google Play and any other APK and Gapps you wish. But to verify which rom you are actually running, go to <settings> and then <my device>. If you are running the China rom with Gapps added, updater may have been disabled by the company so not overwrite Gapps and reinstall Chinese bloat when updated.

BTW, Giztop has both the EEA/Global and Chinese variants available. The Chinese sells for $729.00 USD and the EEA/Global sells for $849.00 USD.

Screenshot of what my phone says. What's your view ?

 

[scdoyle]

Mine is also from wondamobile and is therefore the same as yours.

My phone status still shows as locked. If it was a non-official miui ROM would it not show as unlocked?

That' s my thought. I also got someone who works in the industry in a senior position to check for me, and nothing came back as an issue.

Even looking on Xiaomi.eu list of roms there is no firmware matching this. Looking on Xiaomi's official forums, there has not been an update on the global either. Plus the website that scanes firmware updates isn't reporting anything.

If Wonda sold me the non global, I will go back to them, and also raise a PayPal claim against them, but I specifically asked them was this a chinese version with flashed eu firwmare, with the bootloader unlocked etc and they said not.

In fact this is what Wondamobile said to me "
100% global version from Hong Kong, not one with a bootloader unlocked and flashed."

Yes I agree. I have bought several phones from them in the past and found them to be reliable.

Our firmware number matches the one on xiaomi's site. It is just that letter 'A' that is different.

Looks like other versions have a higher number so hopefully we should see an update soon.

Fingers crossed. I have just sent an email to Xiaomi Customer service in HK, so hopefully they will confirm that the firmware is ok, and also when the next update is due. I also asked them for an ETA on MIUI 12 for the handset.

I will only be concerned once I see the 'global' version on xiaomi's site have a higher number and I receive no updates on my phone.

Yes, it is disappointing that they announced that the 9 would get MIUI 12 before the 10! I suspect they will give you a vague answer but you never know.

I noticed the Mi 10 (non pro) has a firmware number as you said pretty much identical to ours except for one letter.

Even if I get a vague reply, that's all I need for now. If the phone doesnt get the OTA for the new firmware when it arrives, then like you I will be concerned. I am not into flashing phones etc.

The page I am looking at seems to apply to both Pro and non-pro...see attached.

I guess you mean it says just Mi 10 under the ROM itself, but it includes Pro in the title. Confusing!
