ΜAfter the big fuss yesterday about Xiaomi's new Regulation regarding CHINA ROM Flash and GLOBAL ROM, in the new devices, today came a new announcement - clarification of what finally applies, and what does not.
Read yesterday's announcement to get an idea of what exactly has emerged HERE.
So today on en.miui.com one of the Moderators of the official Xiaomi Global Forum, mentions the following word for word ,,,,,
The announcement at en.miui.comHello Mi Fans,
Devices that will have the same problem: The Redmi 5 series and all the other devices that were released in 2018. Screenshot of the problem… Here are some tips to help prevent your device from crashing when you try to flash or update your ROM. 1. Make sure the ROM on your device is CHINA or Global ROM. Check the printing on the packaging box. If the print is in Chinese, then your device is for the Chinese market with China MIUI ROM. It will be very dangerous to Flash a Global ROM 2. Verify the version of the ROM you have: If you have V9.6.1.0.ODMMIFD, it is not an official version of the Global ROM, and it does not support updates. If any of you holding this version are updating your ROM and your device only enters Recovery afterwards, then you should contact your device dealer for assistance. We recommend that you buy from official or authorized sales channels. 3. If you have purchased a phone that has V9.6.1.0.ODMMIFD ROM and Bootloader is unlocked, then you can Flash with Globalboat ROM V9.6.4.0 and keep Bootloader unlocked (You will have Brick of the device if the Bootloader is locked), or you can Flash CHINA ROM (the Bootloader may be locked). |
Όhow do you understand the above message does not help much, as there are cases where someone may have in his device not Original Recovery like the one in the picture above, but TWRP Recovery, and we do not know what will be the behavior of the device after an attempted failed Flash.
Will it Boot into TWRP Recovery when something goes wrong? or will the device fall into a permanent Brick?
Why do not we forget that in addition to the problem with Xiaomi's new ROM Policy, we also have the AntiRollBack that have been activated on various devices that have Android 8+ ROMs.
If the two problems of Xiaomi's new Policy are combined with the Anti-Rollback, the risk for Brick of the device increases exponentially.
Read about Anti-Rollback here
What is certain is that we need to clarify all the scenarios and possibilities that exist, so that we can all be properly and officially informed by Xiaomi, so that new Brick devices do not appear for no reason.
Why do we repeat once again, good and golden all this, and agree with you dear Xiaomi on your policy against the arbitrariness of bad players in the Chinese market that have filled all other countries with devices that are not for them, but when we change policies that have such risks, we do not decide on Friday morning, and apply it 10 minutes later.
We have to make an official announcement on Friday for example, and after we explain to the owners of our devices that we change the Policy for the following reasons, and after we explain to them that they will protect their small property from a possible Brick, then after 1 month we set the new regime enters into force;
The world is not lost waiting for a few weeks for our customer to be properly informed, who is today, but also tomorrow.
We hope that in the coming days we will have solved everything and returned to the normal flow of upgrades that we knew until now ……

Well done again for the work done in this forum…
I have the redmi 6 pro bought from abroad. The mobile does not open with tpt! Download an update and then keep booting. Which memory should I put ???
Please help me
Angeliki, try volume up & power at the same time to enter recovery mode and select wipe data with the audio buttons.
Although it is better to come to the forum as MIUI_ART wrote to you, there are more children who can help with instructions 🙂
Angeliki go here => https://xiaomi-miui.gr/community/index.php/Board/286-RedMi-6-Pro-Sakura/
It's the section on our forum that's specifically for your device, and open there a question with what concerns you.
You will receive help from many of our experienced members.
That is, if I understood correctly the problem is only for those who have the locked bootloader or I misunderstood;
The problem is that we do not know what will happen again tomorrow, and whether they will add something else again.
As for the bootloader, you just risk less.
