Xiaomi Redmi 5 - Currently Chinese Software - seeking help to install regular Android - Xiaomi Redmi 5 Questions & Answers

Hello,
I purchased a Xiaomi Redmi 5 in China, I have researched into TWRPs for Redmi 5's in order to install regular Android software, but none of the advice has been given for phones with Chinese android installed in them.
Thus, a lot of the advice is given based on a non-chinese version of android and I have struggled to understand the advice.
Would someone please help me out to install regular android to a Redmi 5 with Chinese android?
Thank you

Steps are the same. You just need to change language.

Is there a way to rebrand my Redmi Note 4x to the US version?

The phone was bought from China and has a lot of chinese apps inside. Some of the texts are still in chinese even after changing the language to english.
Is there a tool to load the US/UK version of ROM into mine?

You have all latest official ROM's here with flashing guide, choose correct model.
Do you have Snapdragon (Mido) or Mediatek (Nikel) variant?
Also what is your current firmware version?

Chinese Redmi Note 5

So I'm thinking of buying this phone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5px3gLUZgY
But most, if not all, retailers only have the chinese version in stock, not the global.
So I have two questions.
1. Is there a difference in band support between Chinese and Global version? I mainly need band 20.
2. Does the global and chinese version support the same roms here on XDA? I don't know chinese, but if I just flash a rom, it wouldn't really matter which language comes preloaded as I intend to run custom roms anyway.
Bump.
That Chinese Redmi note 5 is Redmi note 5 pro, codename is whyred, totally different with redmi note 5/redmi 5 plus (codename - vince) in this xda device section.
You better ask in correct section here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro
It's better than redmi 5 Plus, and i don't think there will be any difference of band supporting

Is it worth installing Pixel Experience on a Xiaomi Mi A3's Android One? difference?

I purchased the Xiaomi Mi A3 Android One phone, and I was wondering if Android One and Pixel Experience ROM are different enough to be worth rooting and installing the custom ROM Pixel Experience. Or are Android One and Pixel Experience the same or so similar that there would not be much benefit to getting the Pixel Experience.
Also, can someone point me to an authoritative Mi A3 Rooting and TWRP installation guide. I can't find reliable ones on my google search.
Have you rooted your Mi A3, if so, which guide did you use and how well did it work?
Thank you.
