Question Redmi Note 12Pro+ Official ROM interchangeability

[shag001]

I have a new Redmi Note 12Pro+ which has the Chinese MIUI ROM (14.0.3) installed. Is it possible to replace this ROM with the international version? If the answer is yes is an instruction post available?

Also for those who might know is this the correct ROM as refers only to Redmi Note 12?

To switch from Chinese rom to global one you have to unlock the bootloader first , the wait time for unlocking bootloader should be 7-14 days .
Also your phone is note 12 pro + and the note 12 is definitely different both hardware and software wise
Hope it helps.

Thanks for your reply. Just to better my understanding, unlocking the bootloader is the same as what used be called rooting the phone? Why 7-14 days?
Updated my search and I think this is the right one.
