Should I buy k20 or 9t? - Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers

I'm asking it because on AliExpress the k20 has chinese rom originally, and the global rom is flashed after unlocked bootloader.
Te 9t has global rom officially.
Which is the better option? If I buy the k20, can I make it a full fledge 9t with working gpay, etc?
I'm asking it because there is a significant price difference between them.

Yes You Can After Unlocking BL ... You Just Have To Flash Fastboot Global ROM and you good to go
---------- Post added at 11:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 PM ----------
See There Are 3 Versions Of The Same Devices
1. Chinese one
2. Indian one
3. Global one
( code names are also little bit different )
You can flash any ROM meant for any version to the device you buy .
FYI Giving Some Example Of SomeOne Who Faced Problem Regarding This.
[[[[[Ok guys I figured it out.Redmi K20 firmware starts with "Davincini" and 9T firmware starts with "Davinici" . So I have opened each of the "flash_all,flash_all_except_storage,flash_all_lock " with note pad plus and edited the words Davincini in the k20 fastboot rom to Davinci (9T) in the 8th and 9th row and flashed it with mi flash .It flashed perfectly . But forgotten to choose flash_all. So it relocked the bootloader.Now the front camera was not working.
There was a August update waiting . Updated now all is fine .Case closed.
Now again have to wait for 30 days to unlock the bootloader . Anyways back to miui 10 . So thanks . May be helpful to somebody...
K20 firmware starts with Davincini
9T frimware starts with Davinci...
Thanks Guys.............]]]]]

As you know this is the same phone basically and I would not say that the price is that much different yes it is cheaper a bit but is up to you if you want to play with ROM installation or get a ready to go Global version of Mi9t.

Mi9t has NFC with more LTE bands

Basically? YES
But EURO B20 and B28 LTE bands are not present on K20 china, I guess.
And not sure the phones version are not region locked in case you relock bootloader like MI8 is.
It is a must have for MI9T global ea rom.

And please can somebody link me a comvert tutorial, or write it down, how to do it? (I think I will go with the k20) I don't want to mess up the phone.
Thank you

If you don't want to mess it up and need a tutorial, it kind of mean that you should go with the mi9t
After all, it was clear to what to do as people post here. But if you still feel unsure on how to do it, it's better to don't.

I'm only asking because I want to be sure not to mess up. Before I had a a/b partition phone, so it's a bit different, that's why I'm a bit afraid but I like modding and custom roms (like I said currently using mi a2) so I will report here what phone was my choice.

I ordered the mi 9t, maybe not the best choice... But we will see. I think I will put custom roms on it after stable 10 roms are out.

I'm using 10 rom too currently on my mi a2 while waiting for the 9t. The reason I chose the 9t is that I doesn't need to flash roms right away when it arrives just to use gpay. I think miui 11 will be good, I would use it for 1-2 months when releases, and then custom roms later..
Thank you for your answer, sorry for my messy english

I understand, but it's better to not mess since order a phone from Ali Express means you wont have any support if things go wrong.

Anyone having issues with FC of Gallery and Notes?....I am getting multiple repeated messages making the phone very difficult to use since the update from EU rom to this Global rom. Also when I go to settings/about phone/system updates/ reboot to recovery I am getting the picture of the phone with the cable plugged in and the web address at the bottom of the screen. Will I now get the OTA with this rom?

Sorry for my english ...
I bought my Xiaomi Mi Mix recently (should be arriving tomorrow). I have a feeling that I will receive it with MIUI Chinese Stable. Is there any way for me to update to the MIUI Global Rom (http://en.miui.com/thread-526390-1-1.html) without having an unlocked bootloader? Please let me know. Thanks
Flashed the 8.2.1 Global ROM using a PC and it works great. GAPPs installed and less bloat.

Dislike ? I have all Samsung Note Series, as well more S series and here is conclusion.
MIUI is great dissapointment comparing targeted phone price...As I wrote in one review, it looks like little children "played games on Ferrari car"...I have all weird chinese letters as "houses,dots and boxes" instead normal text or keyboard...also..everything is chinese or some sort of...can not sync my google accounts,doesnt have possibility to import of contacts even can not create one, can not normaly type SMS messages....can not upgrade it to normal operating system because there is suported...none !! It is unbeliveable slippery. Official support is..none ! Camera is also very cheap one and images are unbelieveble bad for that devices price tag.
also needed to create weird MIUI account, or something to get support for nothing...bootloader is locked and if you are happy they will unlock it.so ou can not even change rom to something usable.
Let me be straight...phone looks very good...but usebillity is ONLY for Chinese people...for 800€ I should buy new S8...but I am lucky that I will get my money back and it was good school...Chinese devices...never again...Anyway, I could count disadvantages countlesly, and there is also one good thing...design.
Very very dissapointed..waste of money indeed....it was my notice for people to rather spend 700-800€ on something more usefull.
Big phone, great concept, big fail.
my device is 18k , 6gb, 256gb.black.

Bro you cant flash mi 5x rom on a1 as a1 has different parition. This will just brick you device. Actually one needs to change many things in the mi 5x rom to make it work on a1.
Why you have to flash miui when you have mi a1?if you want miui go get mi 5x.
Most people buy a1 over mi 5x is because its clean coming straight from google instead of using miui

Because Xiaomi A1 uses different LTE bands than 5X. The 5X is not very usable in Europe, particularly outside cities with 800Mhz band 20 networks.
It's quite funny to see Mi 5x users who want to flash Mi A1 rom (I'm one of these persons) and Mi A1 users who wants to flash Mi 5X rom .
Maybe we should just create an exchange platforms to trade Mi 5x against Mi A1 haha.
BTW, you're not losing much because even if you could flash the Mi5X rom, you'll only get the Chinese version with a lot of untranslated things and a few bugs and complications. (especially on the google apps side).

The best and easiest way is just trade with someone who want a1 but got mi5x instead l,they definitely would be happy with that.or you can wait and flash latest lineage os which is support flashing another bands based your location,aosp rom could flash another bands via twrp,you can wait or search someone post it on xda.as my experience with previous devices it won't make big difference unless you had problems with signal after flashing new Rom
It's not about trading, Mi 5x IS NOT IDENTICAL to A1! In many countries (the majority of the european countries actually) the LTE runs on Band 20 that Mi 5x DOESN'T SUPPORT, while A1 does.
What we're asking for is to have a device with MIUI (the xiaomi.eu MIUI, not the official one that's only in chinese with bloatware and no GApps) and Band 20 to run LTE.
---------- Post added at 12:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 PM ----------
ALSO
Consider that A1 stock rom has ALREADY BEEN PORTED to mi 5x so there's no reason for a Mi 5x owner to trade for an A1 since what he has to do is just flash the A1 stock rom on his device... Pointless to always say "trade for a Mi5x" or "buy a Mi5x instead".
Those are not the same phone!
Any update on this?

Honestly I don't think this phone will get MIUI anytime soon. It will never come from Xiaomi in my opinion, maybe someone builds a MIUI ROM for this phone but modders activity doesn't look very good at the time.
If you want to enjoy MIUI it'll be best to buy another model from Xiaomi. I know the good thing about this phone are the included international mobile data bands, but it's one thing for another.

Miui rom might be available but only after Xiaomi/Google release the Kernel source code, and then custom builds like LOS and RR will also pop up
I really don't understand people who keep flooding the forums with miui requests... this phone is designed to run stock android, for people who DONT want miui (like me, who thinks miui is an awful, super bloated system), every other xiaomi phone is miui, why not buy that. it's like buying a google pixel and complaining that there isn't miui for it, boggles my mind every time I see this post, and they are everywhere

Sorry to destroy ur dream but MIUI is simply fugly and messy.
LOL please stop spamming how much you want MIUI.
It's pure nonsense.
source codes are still not available for the phone..... RIP xiaomi and google
I don't get it.. Why MIUI!?!?!?!?!?? This device has stock Android.. If you want MIUI then go buy a device with MIUI. Thank God there are so many other phones with MIUI from Xiaomi... ANY OTHER PHONE FROM THIS MANUFACTURER IS WITH MIUI.. GO BUY IT !!!!!!!!!!!!.. When the kernel source comes out the best thing is AOSPA for this device. Paranoid Android will make this device fly..... So would be Lineage OS. And something else.. You people should consider that Stock is the real Android.. Any other crappy skin is builded because the stock Android.. TouchWiz, HTC sense and any other crap like MIUI is there in this world because of Google Android. Stock. And stop asking for MIUI for this device.. You're behaving like you're 12 years old.. If you want MIUI build it yourself..

Indeed i cannot understand. It's inconsistent, fugly and buggy.
I would give it to you that it has a lot of gimmicks that causes a lot of compatabilities issues and break a lot of things.
Really useful features? Hardly any.

Miui. please respond to the developers

flipped through the forum 4pda in Russia in Russia, we got involved with the instruction on the firmware LOS 15.1 through fastboot. The man told a detailed instruction about the firmware of the folds.
Firmware system_b.
The question is as follows. Can I use only one partition under the firmware without using the other one?
I also read that you need one more must section, for miui applications, you can also create it for yourself.
yes we will lose in the amount of memory. but we get a working miui.
PS I'm not a developer just reading the forums I collect information bit by bit.

The work to port miui on mi a1 is really huge and above all it's a nonsense.
If you want miui then buy a miui capable phone. Mi 5x is an example... The mi a1 Chinese twin.
Someone tried to port miui to mi a1 in vain...
Personally I doubt that anyone is ready to take the task and make this work.
The MIUI version of a1 is even cheaper to buy... I really don't understand why people want to run MIUI on the only Xiaomi phone where you pay a premium not to have it in the first place.
The mind boggles!
As others have said, if people want a MIUI phone, buy *any* other Xiaomi device!
I am so glad to see the replies from you other people. I thought I was missing something thinking "What? WHY!"
There is an, as I understand it, identical device with MIUI (Mi 5X?) already. And a bunch of other Xiaomi phones of course.
There actually was a thread some time back (a couple of months?) about MIUI on A1 and someone being a bit snotty about it. HAve to go back and look... (yeah, I live a pretty pathetic life... )
Just if you deal with the sections in this phone it will help to solve problems later. e.g. flyme
I believe the reason for people wanting MIUI in Mi A1 was because Mi A1 has more bands than its Chinese twin.

Why immediately idiocy? I'm trying to figure out what's what, I'm interested in porting. Since I have not done this before, I find out the necessary information. Therefore, the developers, share experiences, can advice.

I understand that porting and developing is fun and people are curious, but why not focus your energy and time on other things? (like helping with 7.1.2 and 8.1.0 AOSP builds or pressuring Xiaomi into releasing the sources for Oreo).
If someone success on porting MIUI, probably 3 people in the world would use it. It's pointless.
Don't be so stubborn on something that's pretty much pointless.
@Pa94 I'm also slowly researching what a port would take. I don't think it would be too hard considering we have an almost equal device in mi 5x to use as base for a patchrom. Then port that on top of any nougat rom for the A1. However I don't have enough time currently and knowledge about the partition layouts. What I know differs is the miui cust partition and the a/b layout. I guess it takes first of all an boot.img port pointing to the right partitions and things. Then patch the 5x rom.
Here we go, again!

Let's hope someone can confirm it can be done. It's exactly the same hardware!
Yes it can be done !
I am having a Black shark 2 12+256 GB Black model. It can be easily converted to global by first aquiring rom from the blackshark EU website. You need to have a bootloader unlock. But unlike other Xiaomi smartphones this doesn't need to use mi flash unlock and do the waiting. It can be easily unlocked through Fastboot by the normal unlock command. Then you have to clear the system then flash it and enjoy. I can't share the link to global rom as I am a newbie at XDA and is not allowed with links. This phone is really a beast. I expect new gaming kernels from the community.... Waiting .......

It isn't provided on the website. You will have to contact them in person. I got it from one of my friend who contacted them in person. He lives in UK. Just visit there and they will provide you the global Roms. They may also provide it if you call or mail them. I don't know about that but still it's worth a try

I don't have rom for that variant sir. But still I can help you. You can flash a GSI and have the stock Android experience in Global Languages. First you will have to unlock the bootloader by the commands fastboot oem_unlock. Then download your preferred GSI Image from any developer. I would prefer pixel experience. Then follow the instructions that's given by the GSI developer. Done ! You have full Android experience without any Chinese bloatware. But stay in Chinese rom now as the shark space mode is not available in the global Rom as of now. If that's not your preference use the above mentioned method and switch to a global Rom. If you still didn't understand I will post a thread on installing GSI on Black shark 2. Thankyou . Hit the like button if this helped you.

I'd like to disagree with your statement that the shark space mode isn't available in the global ROM because it certainly is. I've used it already. Otherwise the dedicated physical switch on the side would be useless.

You maybe using a shop room sir. Which is modified by the shop for changing the language to English and to debloat the rom but still it will be the China rom in core. I never said that Shark Space won't be available in Global Rom. I just pointed out that the current global Rom doesn't have it but digging in deep the rom you can find the files. It's just they have disabled it for sometime maybe some testing going on. We may get an update within a month for the shark space or maybe you have a newer model which comes with the new Rom. If you have that and you know there is shark space, it will be too good if you upload a EDL mode backup of the device. So everyone can convert their China Rom device to Global Rom with Shark Space enabled. I would encourage you to do that. It would be a great help to us. I believe that you know how to backup as you're a senior member of XDA. Waiting for your reply.....

I'm using the official global version of the phone that's sold by black shark since 29th of March in their official EU online store which came with a security patch version of February 2019 out of the box and was updateable via OTA to patch version March 2019 and included shark space from the beginning.
From what I know to use EDL you need very specific files for each phone to be able to use the EDL mode, which aren't readily/easily available.
Furthermore I'm returning the phone today and therefore won't risk a brick or tinker with it.
Sorry to not be of better help to the community.
I have the global build (and phone), and I can assure you that Shark Space is available.
Where is your information coming from that says it isn't available?

Sir you may have the new retail unit with shark space aka Ludicrous mode. The Rom leaked doesn't have shark space turned on. So if you have that phone and seeing that you're a senior member. I request you to upload a EDL backup of your phone with Ludicrous mode. You could do it easily with some Android file system managers. If you could do that it will be a great help for people like me with outdated leaked global Roms. Can you confirm the build number and the security patch version ???

I am having a Black shark 2 12+256 GB Black model. It can be easily converted to global by first aquiring rom from the blackshark EU website. You need to have a bootloader unlock. But unlike other Xiaomi smartphones this doesn't need to use mi flash unlock and do the waiting. It can be easily unlocked through Fastboot by the normal unlock command. Then you have to clear the system then flash it and enjoy. I can't share the link to global rom as I am a newbie at XDA and is not allowed with links. This phone is really a beast. I expect new gaming kernels from the community.... Waiting .......

you said, you can't share the link to global rom, then you ask people to upload an EDL backup. what exactly you have and you want ? I still confused.

Finally!

We have a subforum!
Hard work spamming xda paid off. Hopefully we'll see some developers come here. India launch will bring a lot of devs I hope

Are you using it?
Mine arrived last Friday. Using it now with stock ROM 11.0.6 (EEA), but bootloader unlock is on the way (damn seven days of delay....)
Will try xiaomi.eu beta MIUI 12 ROM once my bootloader is unlocked tomorrow in the evening. I used that on my Mi 9T Pro, and it worked well there.

I'm waiting for the bootloader time frame to pass so it can be unlocked (3 days to go). A close friend has done it and he is loving it. It has to be the miui 11 eu stable rom. The miui 12 eu rom is om hold due to a problem with a Qualcomm update. Tutorial and steps to follow are on the page xiaomi eu. The moderators there have confirmed that the rom for the redmi k30 pro has the same code and it is full compatible with the poco f2 pro. Code name of the rom is "Imi".
Cheers ?

It may be a coincidence, but the update has been suspended at the same time they announced android 11 beta 1 for our device, mi 10 and mi 10 pro. So it might be because they are working on that

Wait. They just put version 12 on hold due to an issue with the Qualcomm chipset. They are waiting on an update from Qualcomm. Check before you flash.

Yep, saw that. Quite unfortunate, but i assume updates will return next week, since the Qualcomm baseline update should take 3 weeks.
For the time being, i'll use the version from May 24th.
The xiaomi.eu rom is OK, better than the standard Chinese Xiaomi Rom if you are wanting to use it outside of China. However it is not great (some very peculiar permissions requests and a lot of things are (purposefully?) unclear) AND the xiaomi.eu site owner and devs are arrogant toxic egotists which does not inspire high levels of trust.
Not sure what the Qualcomm issue affects as I have been using the 20.5.21 MIUI 12 beta on my Redmi K30 Pro without any noticeable issues.
(Recovery is modified TWRP from the Xiaomi.eu ROM, Magisk works, Google stuff works, EdXposed works (as does XPrivacy Lua seemingly).

Flash miui 12 and give feedback
Thanks XDA. I love my new K30 Pro Zoom Edition
Still waiting for them to unlock my Redmi K30 Pro Zoom (6 days and counting). Also, I really want to get rid of the stock rom as I'm not a fan of the bloatware, as I cannot understand the Chinese language. I hope the MIUI12 from XiaomiEU got rid most of those, while waiting for an AOSP, Lineage or Paranoid Android roms. (Hopeful that the devs will turn their attention to this flagship killer. ?
Great to finally see a forum for f2 pro I finally got boot loader unlocked but the custom recovery for the K30 leaves alot to be desired plus I don't know Chinese so I wasn't sure what I was doing I'll wait til someone developes a proper TWRP (hopefully TEAM-WIN)
