Hello,
I'm new here and also with the tablet from xiaomi. I want to buy the pad but I'm not sure. I need a the pad with German language, working google play store and Netflix/amazon in HD. Netflix said on twitter that they support HD with widevine L3. Is that true? Are there apps that don't work?
With which Rom should I buy it? Is it easy to flash the global rom? Does the global rom for the 8" also works for the 10"?
Thank you and I hope I ask not to much

I'm not active inside the custom rom community, so are there any plans to "officially" support this device from any major players such as LineageOS, ParanoidAndroid, etc?
Roms do not receive official status, unless a Developer is willing and able to maintain specific source files for the device.
Generally that Dev needs to have a working knowledge of that device and should have access or preferably own the device, for testing purposes.

There's not any global version ROM (official or not) for this device yet.
But you can install Google Apps using an APK file in the Chinese ROM, there are a lot of tutorials online for it.

Netflix is not even listed in Google Play results, you need to install the apk manually. And no HD playing.
If you want HD playing for Netflix and other streaming services, buy another device.
Install Magisk if You have unlocked bootloaderHow do I root?
Clearer explanation
I seem to have a problem unlocking a the bootloader.
I've waited the necessary time and the unlock tool does run seemingly correctly, stating that it unlocked my device (see attached image), but in reality it didn't. My tablet just exits fastboot and reboots, without actually unlocking the bootloader.
I did enable the option "OEM unlocking" in the "Mi Account" menu.
Could anyone with more luck chime in on this?
Kind regards.

What rom did it have when you got it, could it be because unofficially unlocked bootloader and fake rom seller installed?
Only widevine L3, so no HD. Netflix not supported as mentioned before, need sideload.
See this Twitter conversation from official Netflix account. A user mentions he gets 960x540. I think it looks OK but it would have been nice with full HD. Also there is mentions that Snapdragon 660 is supposed to support widevine L1..... maybe licensing cost that Xiaomi did not want to pay?

I just did a check, I don't remember what it came with, but it says "MIUI 9.6.26.0 | Stable" now. If I look in the "all specs" menu, it also says (ODJCNFD).
Mi Unlock Status in "Aditional Settings - Developer Options" states: "This device is locked This phone is secured"
According to this random page I googled it´s supposed to, but I can not find offical information:

Not sure if my experience will help but here goes.
1. I purchased a Multilanguage version of Mi Pad 4 Plus Lte 4/64 from Aliexpress, however this store now only has the Chinese version.
2. It came to me unlocked with some kind of MIUI installed but I wasn't able to identify the rom.
3. I tried to install TWRP 3.2.3 via these two tutorials. I tried this first -Sep's TechClass and then LR.Team. I renamed the img file I got from LR.Team and copied it in the folder from Sep's TechClass and flashed it. The recovery installed correctly and I could boot into Recovery mode with no problems and also was able to root in Recovery under the Advanced option tab. However, I could not boot into system.
4. I then mounted the storage through Recovery mode and transferred this Xiaomi.EU stable ROM to the device storage and flashed it via Recovery. It was then able to boot into system just fine.
5. I went back to Recovery Mode and enabled Root through Magisk.
6. I rebooted into System and updated Magisk to the latest versions. I'm now running v18.
7. Set up Mi Account with Find my Device on and verified via phone number.
8. Set up my tablet and everything is working fine. I do sometimes get Power App has crashed when installing apps but everything else works. Double Tap to Wake, Fingerprint Sensor. Face Unlock. SafetyNet checks. All Google Apps, GPS, Wifi, LTE, SMS is available but call function doesn't work as reported here. Netflix works but highest resolution is 960x540 not FHD.

As a follow up to my post above:
I have set up my Mi Account on this device. When I inserted my SIM it asked me to sign in to my Mi Account and I did. I currently have Find My Device turned on and phone number verification active (same number as the tablet) but when I check here:
Settings > Mi Account > Account Security > My Devices, it recognises the device as Mi Pad 4 Plus but says SIM card isn't installed or activated. I'm attaching a Screenshot.
Any idea how I can get Mi Account to recognise that this device has a Sim Card installed?
Additionally, I got this device with bootloader unlocked so I never had to apply for unlock permission through the Mi Account. Is there any advantage to applying for unlock permission (in case I need it in the future, for other devices/phones or if this device gets inadvertantly locked). Is there any one who has done this?2
Well, it won't support calling function at least on the Chinese version. Stated on the China website small print right at the bottom.2
