No question is stupid if helps you out. You'll need to have the bootloader unlocked unless it says RKBMIXM in your about phone section. EEA is RKBEUXM. If you're in Europe, I would stay with the EEA ROM because it seems to work better in general. Global might offer some better cellular signal in other places but it's iffy. I haven't really seen a difference in signal after switching from EEA to Global (I'm in the U.S). If you want to install it after unlocking the bootloader, then you should wait until c.mi.com uploads it on their site since it will be in a better format for it.

Yes. You will get OTA updates. Banking apps work on mine just fine which is on global, unlocked, and has magisk. According to this, all 5G bands in the UK are supported. Widevine L1 is working on mine still after clean flashing Global.

This ROM isn't meant to flash from a different variant since it's an OTA. If you want flash the global ROM, follow these steps:

1. Unlock bootloader with Xiaomi MiUnlock tool (you'll have to wait 168hours)
2. Download the ROM you want from here
3. Then follow this guide (skip step 2 in this guide since you've already downloaded the ROM you wanted)

That's very clear to understand thanks for taking up the time to explain , I'll get the EEA as I'm in the UK the one thing I dont understand what is magisk ?

Thanks Again

Magisk is a systemless root method. Usually root will trip bank apps but you can hide Magisk and keep SafetyNet intact (this is what tell banking apps, etc if the device is modified or not). It's not necessary to have. I just figured you were planning on it since you asked about banking apps.

Would I need Magisk if flashing stock rom to have access to banking apps ? it leaves root open ? I would just prefer to the phone to act like stock and get OTA updates

Thanks

No. You don't need it at all. Just an unlocked bootloader and the rom you're flashing is all.

unused ram is wasted ram
it's not like on windows or something

it's basically good if there is not too much free ram

I ordered mine from GizTop, didn't have to pay any customs but it took forever to get here even when I paid for expedited. So it ended up arriving a couple days before the Pro/Ultra/11i were announced. Also came with an EU charger since that's the factory one, so I had to order a GaN charger for it. It wasn't the best experience but now I have two black/green ported 65w GaN blocks for it and a pretty neat magnetic cable. I spend around $38 for the first one, though. The second one I snagged for a cool $15

I've honestly never really thought about ram consumption except for when it's causing slowdowns. I'll start keeping this in mind

Damn I don't think I could handle that wait , I went with Wonda Mobile and have very good reviews hopefully get it quickly can't wait to try it currently have mi 9t looking forward checking out the 120hz and wanted bigger screen

Yeah, kind of killed my excitement by the time it got here. Planning to get the Ultra soon too because I'm a sucker for that camera bump on the back. Hopefully it won't take so long to get here but there really isn't many good options to get it here quick at a fair price

I dont use camera much so not the main thing for me also like how Xiaomi give you that option and still not taking away the rest of the spec , for example look at the s21 they also take away the screen size

So preparing with the files and looking at the guide
Decompress the MIUI ROM flashing tool downloaded in Step 1, and double click on it to install

The MiFlash2020-3-14-0 doesnt install can only decompress the files can you just select XiaoMiFlash.exe in folder to open it

The Rom file from the link you provided
miui_VENUSEEAGlobal_V12.0.13.0.RKBEUXM_27c451d5b7_11.0.zip

On the guide it says
(Please check if the ROM file suffix is '.tgz'. If it is '.gz', please rename it to '.tgz')

When I decompress the zip and try selecting it in MiFlash it says Couldnt Find flash script

Can I just download venus_eea_global_images_V12.0.13.0.RKBEUXM_20210402.0000.00_11.0_eea_4c0dda6f7f.tgz

Its in the guide

Also I make sure clean all and lock isnt selected

I just want stock EU ROM I just flash once and future updates done by OTA

Thanks

Yeah, that seems to be my bad. Download the one from the flashing guide in tgz for it. I didn't think about the ones in the Rom Downloads sections being in a different format.

By the way, you might have noticed this ROM is MIUI 12 and not the 12.5. So you will have an update soon after flashing but probably not instantly. When I flashed Global, it took a little for Updater to catch up. So don't worry if it doesn't show any updates when you first try.

I'll update this section after I look on my computer for the miflash version I used. I first had a portable that didn't work (driver reading issues) so if I remember correctly, I downloaded an older one in msi format and updated. I
Itsin the guide

So it appears I downloaded two after the first portable. MiFlash 20181115 which seems to also be portable with more option and MiFlash v7.4.25 which installed on Windows. I would trying the newer first to see if it works correctly for you, then the second as a fallback. You can just click on XiaoMiFlash.exe in first one's folder.

Also I make sure clean all and lock isnt selected

**update** You can't have lock on if you're on a China variant and using a ROM other than the China Official! It will result in brick since it doesn't support any other rom being locked on it!

Yes you can keep it on "Clean all and lock." It will lock the bootloader back after flashing. It also gives you an error at the end if you just have "clean all" selected (something like lock script not initialized or something) which isn't something to be concerned about. It's also possible to wait and lock it with "fastboot oem lock" command, instead.

No problem I don't mind not having latest update right away I can just wait for OTA just like I would if bought EU version

I was watching YouTube step by step on flashing and he mentioned not to select Clean all and lock it will brick the phone ?

Does it matter if I leave it open it won't effect banking apps ?

Thanks
