Introductions:
Xiaomi Redmi 10 / 10 Prime with codename selene with model names 21061119AG, 21061119AL, 21061119BI includes Global Firmware (Global ROM) which can be flashed with clean all and lock methods. Currently available firmware are Global, Indian, Indonesian(Indo), Taiwan, European(EEA) and Russian.Reference
Background:
I bought Redmi 10 prime a month back with 21061119BI model which had Indian variant ROM (RKUINMX).
Indian ROM (RKUINMX) Features:
Contacts and Dialer: Google
Messages: Google
Calendar: Xiaomi
Region: Ability to Change
Browser: Chrome, (No Mi Browser)
ADS: Lots
Theme Store: Fonts availability as region change
Even after changing the region there were ads showing up in some apps. So I google it and found that it can be disabled using apps (toggle show ads to off, personal recommendations to off) or using adb and remove bloatware.
XiaomiADBFastbootTools(Ref) is a beautiful tool to remove bloatwares from xiaomi devices. However, After using it and removing some applications I realized I have to reboot to connect to wifi always. I still haven't found the culprit app but these days I remove very few of them. Solution was factory reset.
My bootloader was still locked. I used Miflash_unlock tool(Ref) and need to wait for few days to flash other Global ROM.
However, there is a tool to flash global rom without unlocking bootloader. XiaoMiTool V2 (XMT2)(Ref) worked fine for me which uses ADB sideload procedure to flash Global Variant ROM. My phone still shows model as 21061119BI but all apps and software now detect it as 21061119AG.
Global ROM (RKUMIMX) Features:
Contacts and Dialer: Google
Messages: Google
Calendar: Google
Region: Ability to Change
Browser: Chrome, (No Mi Browser)
ADS: Slight Less, depends on your region now.
Theme Store: Fonts availability as region change
I couldn't flash indonesian/EEA rom using XiaoMiTool V2
As my waiting time was over, I used Mi Flash Unlock to to unlock my bootloader and then Flash the Indonesian ROM using miflash tool(Ref)
Indo ROM (RKUIDMX) Features:
Contacts and Dialer: Xiaomi
Messages: Xiaomi
Calendar: Xiaomi
Region: Ability to Change
Browser: Chrome and Mi Browser)
ADS: Slight Less, depends on your region now.
Theme Store: Fonts availability as region change
I tried Taiwan ROM too.
Taiwan ROM (RKUTWMX) Features:
Contacts and Dialer: Xiaomi
Messages: Xiaomi
Calendar: Google
Region: No settings to change region.
Browser: Chrome (No Mi Browser)
ADS: Slight Less, need to turn off using apps.
Theme Store: Fonts not available.
This is the small size ROM, maybe because they remove many things like region based apps.
I settle with Indo ROM. All ROMs have sim activation issues if your carrier doesn't support it. I have not yet tried EEA and Russian ROM. If anyone have it feel free to share the app features in various ROMs.
ROMs can be downloaded at mifirm(Ref). I used clean all and lock method but it is not advisable, do try with clean all only first.
