Hey everyone everyone on XDA has been great to me so thought I would give something back
I know MIUIs servers have been tragic lately so I have a mirror of the Dev MIUI 7 Rom and The Stable MIUI 6 Rom for the Redmi Note 2 both are completely unedited or modified and are the full Rom versions.
Author: MIUI Official TeamVersion: 5.9.11 （MIUI7） Size: 760M - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0QZN1lt0yyGNlo1VC1MelVWbTA/view?usp=sharing
Author: MIUI Official TeamVersion: V6.7.5.0.LHMCNCH （MIUI6） Size: 739M - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0QZN1lt0yyGUHlWTE83M3RHT1k/view?usp=sharing
To Install just download and use the MIUI updater app or you can use TWRP which ever you prefer. Any Issues let me know.

Is there any chance we can get the GLOBAL ROM instead the Chinese Rom?

Check General section, you can find the international version there.

Thanks Kenneth, most useful!
If I flash V6.7.5.0.LHMCNCH version, than I haven't got a 3G or 4G signal in hungary.
you can add "o" at the beginning of the download link to get a much faster download speed
for example the original link is http://bigota.d.miui.com/V6.7.5.0.LHMCNCH/miui_HMNote2_V6.7.5.0.LHMCNCH_7b45a9a562_5.0.zip
then the faster link will be http://obigota.d.miui.com/V6.7.5.0.LHMCNCH/miui_HMNote2_V6.7.5.0.LHMCNCH_7b45a9a562_5.0.zip
(add the letter 'o' before 'bigota')
Not sure why, my TWRP 2.8.6.0 could not update any zip. it says unable to mount
Thanks Kenneth
I'm trying to get the Miui6 stable version but Miui download site for Note2 always giving a 404 error. After flashing this version, I can download the latest version via the phone updater to V6.7.10.0.LHMCNCH
Does this ROM include English, or is it only Chinese?

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 ???

Now my next question, if you don't mind:
I already own the phone so I can't do nothing about it, but I'm getting tired of all this forced protection "for my own good". I live in a free country and I'm not used to this kind of BS.
So, can I get rid of MIUI for good and start having full control on MY phone? this includes getting rid of google spyware as much as possible.
Can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks again
I just found e.foundation site. It seems to have all I need, absolutely ungoogled
They have a section in the forum to request new supported devices. I was the third to ask it for Redmi 7A.
Could it be of interest?
Before unlocking I'm studying possible choices to live without google/xiaomi spyware and crapware.

I tried and it is fine you can install the fastboot eea rom and relock the bootloader if you phone is the global version. It is not the same as trying to install the china rom since the eea rom is essentially the global rom with the option to opt of personalised ads and some other privacy enhancements. It won't brick your phone (I am not talking about the xiaomi.eu roms which do need to have the bootloader permanently unlocked).
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.

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 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..

Hey everyone,
I'm currently in China and I'm thinking of buying the OnePlus 8 Pro. However, the Mainland 8 Pro currently only comes with the new Hydrogen OS, and limits use of certain features that I, as a user from the U.S. would like to use. The global website only has roms for download for up to the 7T Pro, not the 8 Pro yet. I'm wondering if there is any way to flash the global rom onto the 8 pro at this point. If not, I guess I'll have to reconsider my choices.
Thanks for the help.
P.S. Sorry, I'm a bit new to all this, so if there are any issue with my question, or if its unclear to you. Please let me know.

Thanks a ton!
You might want to reconsider... The 5g frequencies differ from the models... I'm not sure where I read it but do some extra research before buying and not fully functioning back home...

Does OTA still work after you flash Oxygen OS?

Wasn't able to flash. I unlocked the bootloader and rooted no problem. But then whenever I try to flash to Oxygen, it says that I am not allowed to "downgrade". I think because the nomenclature for Oxygen is lower than that of Hydrogen right now.

Have you tried the msm tool? the one which flashes OOS, but it will relock your bootloader and wipe the internal storage, cheers
