Redmi 5 Global (from Amazon) cant flash Global cause "Network Carrier is different".
hi all,
I have a Redmi5 Global from Amazon (Italy)(I am from Germany),
I wanted to flash the latest Global Rom because the Redmi5 has a "Tim Branding" ... When I try
to flash the Global Rom I get a message:
"Looks like current ROMs Network carrier type is different from that in the Recovery package"
Is it possible to flash the global rom to get rid of the "tim branding".
Bootloader is locked
edit: solved, used EDL methode and Xiaomi Flash Tool
yes its possible to flash global rom

dear all.
I have Indian Redmi Note 3 ( Snapdragon version, 3 gb 32GB), I am on stock MIUI Global StableVersion 7.2.5.0(LHOMIDA) . I want to flash Global Developer ROM on this .
I have a few queries
Q.1- Can I directly flash global developer ROM through Updater App without any boot loader unlocked issue or should I unlock the boot loader first?
Q.2 How can I flash Chinese ROM? The reason behind this is that Chinese version supports CDMA data facility which is missing in my global stable version at present I am using TATA cdma SIM in SIM slot 1, wherein voice call and sms works without any problem but data is not working probably because MEID is missing in global ROM ,so i guess that Chinese ROM will solve this issue. )
kindly help
warm regards

u can flash using the mi flash tool , the updater tool may or may not help. for the updater tool u will need a recovery rom and for the mi flash tool u will require a fastboot rom.
@cletusarrarr- is it necessary to unlock it first?
Yes you can! In my opinion, you unlock bootloader and flash recovery Cottage, than, you flash ROM zip over recovery.

no it isnt to install the factory roms, it is necessary to unlock only if you want custom rom or if you want TWRP and then a proper root
So that means that I can update to global ROM using inbuilt updater app.?
Kindly clarify once again as somebody in the forum said that it is mandatory to go for bootloader unlock before update?
I don't think you should unlock bootloader or install Chinese rom I have been using reliance cdma in redmi note 3 India without any trick just use sim slot 2 for cdma
Definitely it will work just make sure remove sim from slot 1 n after putting n reboot ing with cdma sim then only put any sim in slot 1
Hope this will resolve the issue
OK guys.. Here is an update. I flashed beta developer ROM easily over stable global ROM through updater app but my CDMA data issue was not solved. CDMA data is still not working.
I am in the planning to flash Chinese ROM . let me know if I flash Chinese ROM will it show MEID number as global ROM shows zero(0) in MEID field.
I also have the same problem. I am also using Reliance CDMA and the data is not working. I am still on MIUI Global 7.2.2.0 (LHOMIDA). I have not yet updated it to 7.2.2.5 because everything is working fine and the phone is in pink of its health. I heard that 7.2.2.5 is causing some WiFi related issue. If the data is still not working then there is no point in taking the risk.
I am still searching If there is any way to start the data in Reliance CDMA.

With regards to your first query..You should go with the official way of unlocking bootloader thought it takes time ..some people who did the unofficial unlocking method ended up bricking their phones..I unlocked it officially then flashed twrp and flashed global dev rom
@vish9180- thanks mate. Is it necessary to unlock it?
Happy to help..It is...I didn't want to run the risk of bricking it like the other guys...so I went the official route...took me 4 days ..since I'm some what active on miui forum..participate in miui forum and they'll clear your unlock request faster.
I am not able to use wifi after trying to upgrade from global to developer rom please help me
Note i was unsuccessful to go on devoper rom with mi global rom yet but wifi stop working
Hi experts. I have bought mi 6 from China which came with a Chinese ROM, to which I have now installed GooglePlay somehow. I now want to install the global ROM on it but there seems to be a problem. I have tried installing the available global ROM via the updater app on the phone (as mentioned on the website) but it won't allow me because the global ROM version is older than the present Chinese ROM running on my phone:
(GLOBAL: miui_MI6Global_V8.2.2.0.NCAMIEC_7f3f8ad7c8_7.1)
(Chinese: miui_MI6_V8.2.27.0.NCACNEC_e725f9829f_7.1)
Is there any way to install the global ROM without unlocking the phone? Fastboot ROM also requires unlocking the phone. I seriously don't want to unlock it...
Experts please advice what should I do?
Try using the EDL mode via the EDL cable. It should work on Mi series
I have Mido SD 32/3GB on MIUI 8.2.10.0.0.
When I check for updates in Updater app it gives me no update,and on MI site download page for Redmi Note 4X global there are 8.5.4.0 version. I have manualy downloaded 8.5.4.0 update and put it in internal and external memory and tryed "choose update package" option.Nothing,MIUI says "can't verify update.current version is illegal,only allowed to flash stable version".I have tried MIUI 9 7.8.24...same thing. The fone is all stock.But the bootloader is factory unlocked.
Anybody has solution??? Thanks.

Hey man, you have a Fake/tampered Rom
Take a look at this:
http://en.miui.com/thread-392159-1-1.html
For stable rom , needed about 3 decimal points. Not more than that
You need to use MIFLASH tool to flash the original rom. Make sure to unlock bootloader first (i think its already unlock thou).
Flashing guide:

Thanks,I was thinking about using MIFLASH.
Yes, bootloader is (factory ??? ) unlocked.I buy it like that.
(why would seler temper with ROM? my Mido is chinese 2016101 and I live in Serbia/East Europe.couldn,t they just flash Global rom.I buy from them Redmi 4a for my wife,and it was OK.Updated fine to latest ROM.)
Didn't know about 3 decimal rom rule.

Xiaomi have no official retail stores yet (except at India thou) so they let those f*ck up resellers to buy their phones and do whatever they want to sell it.
If the reseller bought those phones directly from China with chinese miui rom , tendency it will modified to english with playstore installed.
Sorry for that lol ,
Now try miflash if it works :fingers-crossed:
MIFLASH did the trick. I'm now on 8.5.4.0.

To flash an official ROM (stable or developer, chinese or global) over an unofficial one, you need an unlock bootloader and follow this guide.
If you are using an unofficial ROM, like those fake MIUI ROMs (bad) or Xiaomi.eu ROMs (better than official), you have already an unlocked bootloader.
can i flash a global Rom to a chinese device?
Heard that xiaomi is going to block that?
Since im in China it would be a lot cheaper to buy it here
The only option i see viable is: open bootloader, install twrp, install miui.eu
