Question Redmi Note 10 5G Global Europe version switch

[idCyber]

Hi all !
I have recently purchased this phone from Orange Romania (Europe) service provider so I think the phone is SIM locked on Orange's only signal. Is it safe to switch from 12.0.4.0.RKSEUOR to 12.5.1.0.RKSEUXM ? The 12.5 OTA did not came for me and I would like to receive the updates as other EU devices and not be stuck with provider's version of updates.

Thank you. Is there pc app that i could use to backup the stock rom? In case I need to restore back to RKSEUOR if I need to use the warranty? I have tried but I can't find anywhere that particular fastboot rom to download.

If I've switched ftom RKSEUOR to RKSEUXM, can I safely lock the bootloader using oem lock command or will it brick and not able to boot or unlock it again?

i think is safe relock bootloader, but i'm not 100% sure. i suggest u search some detailed guides on web. the firmware change in your case is not a problem. maybe you can encounter other problems if u don't will make the correct relock procedure

I believe, as a security feature, each time the bootloader is locked or unlocked the user data is wiped.

I have been running my device on the EU ROM after switching from Vodafone with the boot loader unlocked with no issues. Still get OTA updates and all security and banking apps run no problem.

I thinks customer Rom are safe, only if developer are good.
