Looking out for a new phone, I know both are the same phone but are they identical in all aspects but name only (and some branding)?
If I were to buy a K20 (cheaper by almost 100e) over the Mi 9T, will the former work exactly the same as the later for me? I will be installing a custom rom for either if not at least the Global MIUI / Xiaomi.EU rom.
It's same specs except for mobile network frequency bands.
Feck, bands! No band 20 on the k20, that's a no go then. Although in doing that my current mi 8se seems fine

It seems Xiaomi has released a new variant of the Mi Max, namely Mi Max Prime.
Their website lists it as a Global version, and specs are similar to the Mi Max Pro

Global version of Miui8 available already for it. (am not sure if its code name will be helium, or if there is a new codename given for the Prime.)

I believe the Mi Max Prime is now the new name for Mi Max Pro. See link:

And we got new GLOBAL STABLE ROM.
So, I´d like to know if the Redmi k20 chinese version( with chinese rom or global rom) has widevine l1 support which enables you to watch netflix HD quality.
you can see the DRM info with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androidfung.drminfo&hl=en.
I imagine the K20 only has L3 so, no HD. But perhaps, there is a workaround for this and that is:
To flash the K20/Mi 9T EEA ROM on the K20, that could give l1 support as the EEA rom supports it and therefore, the k20 would be seen a an EEA Mi 9T.
So, I can´t test this bc I don´t own the phone but I would like to get the Redmi K20 Pro snapdragon 855 (same price as european Mi 9T SD 730) in the future and I want to know if this is possible so I can use the Mi 9T Pro EEA ROM when its released.
Is there anyone with a redmi k20 who is able to flash the EEA Rom and see if they get L1 support?
you can get the ROM here and also the instructions to flash:

i'm pretty sure i've seen it has L1 on a video on youtube, and if i recall correctly it was from Lim Reviews

I already know MI 9T has L1. But what about the K20?
The K20 has not, the Mi9T has
What if the global ROM was installed on the k20.. would it change?

Hi,
So I have a little question: I assume ROMS for the perseus (regular Mi mix 3) do not work on the andromeda (Mi mix 3 5g?) and vice-versa?
Development for the regular mi mix 3 is quite limited compared to other Xiaomi devices, but am I right that development for the mi mix 3 5g is totally non-existent?
Found a good deal on the mi mix 3 5g and was considering to upgrade from my mi mix 2s, but I dread being stuck with MIUI.
I'm in the same position - Cheap Mix 3 5G deal, a little concerned. I've gone ahead and bought - I don't mind MIUI but otherwise I'd expect treble/GSI roms to work, at least on the Global/EU version of the phone.

Yeah, GSI roms will probably work, but probably not all the slider functions. That's why purpose-build roms are better
Apparently there's no Xiaomi.eu build either, as there are no chinese dev builds for the device.
There are Mi Globe builds for the device - also Redmi K20/Mi9T ROMs almost work on the Mi mix 3 5G (just the touch panel and 5G modem don't work) so there's a possibility for a rom port in the future.
I just ordered mine, and also coming from a mix 2s. I don't mind the lack of custom ROMs as I always loved miui. I only hope for stable twrp and magisk. That's all I'll be using
Magisk works fine and I've never had any problems with the experimental TWRP here on XDA (it's in the ROMs and kernels section). The phone does seem to have a tendency to brick itself (boots to Fastboot and recovery doesn't work) though so I recommend downloading the Fastboot ROM for it off the Xiaomi website and keeping it ready so you ca run the flash_all bat file inside it (this has always fixed my problems)
I've used a patch to install one of the early TWRP ports which turned my MI 9T into a Redmi K20 (boot-logo and model name). Now that an official version is out I was wondering how I can revert the changes. Anyone know of any patch or changes I can do myself, so my MI 9T actually shows as a MI 9T again?
Thank you.

Mine ever since i unlocked the bootloader is start showing as K20.
I think that once it's unlock there is no mi9t logos as Xiaomi didn't made them

Wow, interesting. Of course this helped them to achieve this eye-catching price point.
So the model name is still the same?
My mi9t is still a mi9t after unlock and twrp. So xiaomi ofcourse did make the logos and eveything for mi9t and k20.
Eh, you can just flash the logo.img from the Mi 9T stock ROM. Model number depends on the ROM you're using,

Yes, you can use the patch again, or install a stock ROM to get the boot logo.
Dear Poco f2 pro friends,
When I get time this weekend I'll post all the things that are related to development on the device:

- xiaomi eu custom rom (debloated, call recording, no ads, etc.)
- Latest gcam
- Info on magisk
Cheers ?
Yes please (Y)
Please do.
I'm still waiting for bootloader unlock on my F2, but tomorrow by 9 pm i should be ready to go....

If your phone is the k30 pro then this comes with the China rom, if you flash the global rom you will get the Poco branding. Since the global and eea is Poco this flashes this rom, however both can be flashed on each region.
If you want similar features to global but on your k30 pro then Xiaomi.eu would be a good choice, it's based on China rom but has no Chinese bloatware.
