Ignore the price and stuff - just scroll down to the description. It details how to unlock your bootloader and flash the Global ROM.
Aliexpress sent me this information on my preorder.

Thank you very much. Funkyhuawei is pretty expensive and everything relating to it shouldn't be posted here, since this is a developing platform with free stuff. I ordered mine today. Maybe you can share your information on flashing the global rom over here.

Not sure what you're talking about. FunkyHuawei is running a database of daily MIUI builds for free. It only costs money for Huawei operations. It doesn't offer any Xiaomi operations.

Oh okay. Maybe I've been mistaking. As far as I did understood it, I need credits to use the stuff from them. If that's not the case, I revert my opinion on it.

It still takes 20 days until I get my 2s and it will take another 72hours (hopefully not 360h) to unlock the bootloader but I want to flash your global Rom as soon as it's possible. I don't really need it but it would be nice to know if it supports german language?

Just for clarification:
what kind of ROMs are these?
Are these original Xiaomi Global ROMs, or are these "Xiaomi.eu" firmwares?

The download links lead to "miui.com" so they cannot be Xiaomi.eu firmware.

Original xiaomi global rom nightly builds.

These are official, global (BETA) builds. You can install Globals ONLY by unlocking your bootloader before. Before doing that, you have to wait 360 hours. Even, if you get the unlock possibility. Regardless if you are a Diamond Member (en.miui.com) or not.

Yeah just found out about the 360 hours waiting period - used to be 72 hours, wasn't it?
Sucks anyway....

For what I know if these are official global builds. Then you don't have to unlock your bootloader. Also if this was official it would be on MIUI site itself and not funkyhuawei. On the office site they even said there are not global builds for mi mix 2s atm

It is linking directly to Xiaomi's site. You think Funkyhuawei is somehow hosting files on Xiaomi's site? Xiaomi doesn't publish links to beta builds AFAIK, only sends to approved testers. Funkyhuawei is somehow discovering the secret links.

Oh didn't know that! However Xiaomi.EU has also global builds who I personally prefer.
Can you explain, I thought the official global ROMs didn't need unlocked bootloader.

Some folks over at xiaomi.eu are claiming they were able to unlock bootloader instantly with the Mi unlock tool
Sent from my PH-1 using Tapatalk

You can not install Globals without unlocking your bootloader on China-Models. You can install however a global on any Xiaomi which is sold as a "Global"
Regarding that dude on xiaomi.eu: Official Mi Mix2s have to be unlocked. Maybe he got one with a tampered bootloader. I do have plenty of experience and i'm a diamond member over at en.miui.com
Again: these ARE BETA builds for a closed beta-group!

Some know if the mi mix2s is a-only or a/b parted?

a-only as can be seen in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tai_GApse5g&t=9m56s

These GLOBAL nightly roms in the OP have to be flashed with TWRP or through MiFlash? I wish someone would make a video on how to install TWRP, Root with Magisk and how to flash rom. Does this phone need to flash the non-verity zip?

5. Enabling dual-sim features on single-sim phones.
6. Root your EMUI 8 phone, even with stock recovery (This feature is free)
--NOTE: SOME OF THESE FEATURES NOT AVAILABLE ON P20 SERIES YET. SEE NEXT POST--
You do not need to unlock your bootloader, or void your warranty to use the service. (except the free rooting feature)
To find FunkyHuawei, please Google it. Or you can find a link to the service as well as our rebranding tool within the following XDA Portal article.
https://www.xda-developers.com/exclusive-att-huawei-mate-10-pro-firmware/
We are pleased to announce FHUnbrickFlashTool -- You can now repair any recent Huawei phone via fastboot, even if you cannot access eRecovery or boot the phone! Even if it doesn't show the Huawei logo, as long as you can get a fastboot connection to your computer, you can recover the phone! Google FHUnbrickFlashTool or check FunkyHuawei's reddit for details.
In cooperation with XDA, FunkyHuawei is offering a free credit to Recognized Developers and Recognized Contributers on XDA.
Please PM me for more details.
We will continue posting in this thread with updates regarding new software versions and releases regarding this device.
We will also be monitoring it so we can help anyone who has issues.
FunkyHuawei, due to popular request, is now offering an unlimited pass. You can break your phone all you want, and turn to FunkyHuawei to unbrick it however many times you need to. You can also install all the latest updates, beta versions, and so on, without worrying about spending credits. You can check out more details on FH's reddit or homepage.
For device-specific information, please see the next post.
Please be sure to read the terms of service as well as the instructions very thoroughly before using the tools, to understand the potential risks of using them.
FunkyHuawei can now offer bootloader unlock codes for all Huawei models (including recent models like P20, P20 Pro, Honor Play, and so on.)
These unlock codes can be provided for free to customers who purchase an unlimited pass from today.
See details from the link on the main page of the site.
P20 and P20 Pro Device Information.
Currently, here is what we support on the P20/P20 Pro series.
Installing new firmware/unbricking via eRecovery: SUPPORTED
Rebranding with unlocked bootloader: AVAILABLE NOW!
Rebranding with locked bootloader: COMING, MIGHT BE A WHILE
Unbricking from fastboot: COMING, MIGHT BE A WHILE
Since it is a new device on a new OS, some things have changed and we need to update some of our methods to fully support it.
Those who would like to test rebranding with an unlocked bootloader before we release it, please contact us.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much does FunkyHuawei cost?
A: You need to buy credits on the FunkyHuawei website. The price per credit varies depending on the number of credits you buy. Different operations cost different amounts of credits. However, the Root feature of the Mate 10 tool is free, and as mentioned above, Recognized Developers/Contributors of XDA can ask for a free credit.
Q: My phone is bootloader locked, and FRP locked. My bootloader unlock code dosen't work. It won't boot. eRecovery doesn't work. Can you help?
A: Yes. With the Mate 10 this is now a common situation. Contact FunkyHuawei for help in this situation. We'll need to access your computer remotely and the procedure is a little bit complicated, but the phone can be unbricked.
Q: I can't get my bootloader unlock code/don't want to unlock my bootloader, but I want to change my phone to something other than Chinese. Can you help?
A: Yes. Our new FunkyHuawei Rebrand Tool works on recent Huawei phones (Sorry EMUI 8.1 phones not yet supported. Coming soon), to rebrand them to another region even when the bootloader is locked.
Q: I'm not seeing the latest version listed on FunkyHuawei or elsewhere as an OTA. Why not?
A: Huawei has a very odd and unpredictable way of rolling out OTA updates. You can use FunkyHuawei to install the new version immediately, or can wait for the update to be rolled out. It might be a month or more after release until the update reaches your device from Huawei directly. We have no idea why.
Q: Why isn't FunkyHuawei free?
A: Because many of FunkyHuawei's features cost FunkyHuawei money to provide. Features that don't cost FunkyHuawei money to provide, like rooting the Mate 10 or our TWRP build for Mate 9/Oreo, for example, are generally made available for free. There are also bills to pay, kids to put through school, and so on.
Q: I noticed FunkyHuawei in an XDA Portal article!
A: FunkyHuawei loves XDA, and is cooperating with them as much as possible. Recognized Developers and Contributors on the XDA forums are welcome to claim a free credit from FunkyHuawei as well.
Q: I have a different question.
A: This is what this thread is for! Post away!
We now have the following firmwares available to install with eRecovery method:
CLT-L29 8.1.0.107(C432) - European
CLT-L29 8.1.0.107(C636) - Asia/Pacific
More will be added soon.
CLT-L29 8.1.0.108(C185) now available for Middle East P20 Pro.
We have successfully rebranded the P20 series. Tools will be released pretty soon.
(Bootloader will need to be unlocked for the first wave of tools)

Yes. But it's possible the phone has an internal secondary IMEI which it simply doesn't show on the settings. We haven't had a way of figuring out exactly how it works IMEI-wise, but both sims do work. It's been this way for generations of Huawei phones.

Timeframe Question

Hey guys,
Sold my P2XL and am waiting to buy this thing. How long do we normally wait for an international device? Global rom? I'm contemplating buying the CN version and flashing the UK software over it once it becomes available, instead of waiting for the international hardware.
Thanks!
I'm waiting on global too. Don't want to have to unlock bootloader.

Wow, that really sucks, the good old days seem in the past where you could plug it in and unlock it with the PC with command line tools.
Has anyone received the Mi Mix 3 and tested unlocking the bootloader yet? Was looking at ordering today. My Mi Mix came with the bootloader unlocked however does not appear to be an option on the selling sites.
Mix 3 is to be released in Taiwan at the end of Nov or early Dec, it'll be the global version. Don't know about other markets.
I ordered mine from geekbuying and hopefully will be mailed soon... I thought it was released 11/1/2018... That's weird...

Mine has been despatched from mi store on AliExpress, Some phones now unlock instantly, not sure how this is working. I've downloaded the program, only for Windows though which could be tricky for me. Maybe the Chinese ones can be unlocked instantly but not global. One person was trying to unlock his phone and managed it in 1 minute, so I explained to someone with mi maax global and it didn't work for him,
I think unlocking is account related, pretty sure you're now only allowed to unlock 1 phone per month.

If you buy from Gearbest/Aliexpress a lot of the time you'll get a vendor ROM therefore an unlocked bootloader.

EU rom questions

ToneLa said:
It's not only the best phone I've ever used, I think it's clearly far & away the best in class for a phone today and I genuinely want it to raise bars for what's possible with the hardware. As a package, it's remarkable. Best in class overall & in many areas.
I just love it. Nothing is a disappointment. Getting on the xiaomi.eu ROM negated the ill effects of importing a deGoogled phone. It's reliable, charges in ludicrously quick time, is a fantastic camera, seems unofficially pretty splashproof. Feels good, looks good, sounds good, works with everything
Yes, it gets five snowflakes

based on official, but not official. They do updates over the air normally but not til TWRP is ready. They're a solid group, used them before when I had a Mi 9. From a readme:
> Xiaomi Europe was founded [...] to provide [...] an exlcusive community for English MIUI Android and Xiaomi products. Since 2010 our web site has officially worked with Xiaomi on a variety of projects for APP translations and bug fixing and is a major part of today's Xiaomi Global ROM experience thanks to the great team at xiaomi.eu and its community.

Get yourself on to the EU ROM. I know it's going to take a week to get unlocked but it's well worth while. The EU ROM makes this a superb phone and I've come from a Huawei P40 Pro plus that photographically may be better but there is not much in it. I just love this phone now. Got a couple of cases coming and a better screen cover protector.

Ok is there a way back to getting the phone "locked" again on stock rom if i want to return ?
Why do you want it locked again? The EU ROM shows no security issues, it passed every test.
On the Chinese ROM, I couldn't use my Sky Q as it said it wasn't secure and that was before flashing. Now I can use it. Is there a reason you need it locked?
You can flash the Chinese stock ROM if you do want. I have done to test but come back to the EU version. If you need a link to the stock let me know, I did put instructions on the Xiaomi forum but can copy it here.

I mean if i want to return it to default to be able to sell it. Also 2 questions, does the windows way work or not because i read there's issues in the bat file and only linux works. I dont have access to a linux machine currently. 2nd question, when twrp is ready, until then we will have to flash ourselves until twrp is ready to be able to do OTA?
We've found a fix for the windows method which involves swapping out the fastboot. It's all there in the thread for it, I promise...this is for overall love
And if you may sell it, unless you are going to sell to a Chinese person, I think they will appreciate not having to do the change from the Chinese version.
There are warnings about relocking and the possibility of bricking but you can always flash the stock Chinese version again like I did to test it and then back to EU ROM. Unlocking will bind your Mi account to you phones hardware but this can be swapped to another user if you sell.

Unfortunately not. You will have to wait 168 hours ( 1 week). No way round it as the hardware will be locked to your Mi account during the process.

What are the benefits of EU Rom? I have removed all bloat on China ROM and it's doing fine. Just having and issue of high power consumption of Google Play Services and mdnsd.
See attached screenshots. Plus battery lasts longer, no issues with notification and it reports it's fully secure. For me, it refused to run skyq as the app said it was not secure. Using the EU ROM, it's happy. Have a look at the attached.
How long does Xiaomi normally support their devices? How many "Major" android upgrades do the provide? Like from 10 to 11? And if we went through the EU Rom route will they provide updates for longer?

Question MI 13 chinese rom to global rom

It is possible to buy a chinese version of mi 13 and after that install on the device a global miui rom?

For the moment, no, since the global version has not yet been released.
Afterwards you can but without being able to lock the bootloader, which means that the play store will not be certified and you will have to root the phone and use magisk or a Xiaomi Eu rom.

Anyone experience bootloop on Xiaomi 13 CN set with 14.0.21 EU rom after using it for 2-3 days? Turn off the phone for 8-12 hours and turn it on to reproduce the issue.

Yes. The both the 17 and 21 version. It happens after 2 to 3 days. Only one EU rom. No problem with CN rom.

On some version of rom sometimes the phone restarts on its own, but this is not your case?
it's since 14.0.21?
Can be tried a Weekly by updating (to return after a stable, clean flash required).
Is the phone rooted?
Try the Taiwan global rom with miui message, dialer apps.

I don't see any feedback on this.
As said above, try a Weekly.
If you install a Taiwan stock rom you will need to root and use magisk.

I tried weekly but stopped using it because my Xiaomi 13 gets hot very easily even with light browsing but it does not happen on any of the stable Rom including EU.

It's really surprising because one of the Xiaomi Eu rom devs has a Xiaomi 13, maybe try the last Weekly or there is a HW problem that happened between two roms.

Question Xiaomi 13 Lite / Civi 2: camera subsystem swap, is it possible?

Hello to everyone! First of all, I apologize as I know this isn't the right sub-forum for the products I'm talking about but I've had no choice because one for the 13 lite or the Civi 2 doesn't exist.
I own a Xiaomi 13 lite and Xiaomi.eu is going to make a new release for it any soon so no issues for me but I was talking with a main developer along with other owners here.
I was confident the 13 lite and the Civi 2 were EXACTLY the same thing, just for different markets but this turned out not to be the case. Indeed, they are almost the same but not completely being the cameras different.
Apart from being very helpful and giving me a much better insight on how things really are, the main developer has clearly stated that Xiaomi.eu isn't goiing to deal with the Civi 2 (and I completely understand the reasons for such a statement) but I've been intrigued at the idea of a Civi 2 owner (not my case then but, for example, the one of Barb0ne there and I believe not only him) being able to take the 13 Lite Xiaomi.eu and just 'swap' the camera subsystem.
I can think about at least a couple of big reasons leading to Xiaomi.eu not doing that even if it was so plain simple (like I think it actually isn't) but what if a Civi 2 owner tries it by himself?
I know the camera subystem should be embedded inside the kernel so it is quite hard to deal with it (I can only think about rebuilding it from scratch), even on rooted phones. Maybe using modules but I don't know... I haven't the knowledge needed to have a better insight.
For example, I think that taking a Civi 2 official Xiaomi CN rom and getting the kernel from there then swap it with the Xiaomi.eu 13 Lite one is a complete nonsense and could only lead to bootloops or worse. Has anything like that ever been done? I'm very curious about that and that's clear the question is mainly for developers. Thanks for your opinions (if any) and a nice day to everyone out there.
Weird since there are common global versions.

Which would mean that there is a Xiaomi civi 2 in global version since we cannot lock the bootloader on a CN version with a Global rom.
@NOSS8
Thanks for your follow-up. I don't know what to say: you're absolutely right that there on XiaomiFirmware it seems let's say 'unified' roms are available but this goes in contrast with what that main developer was saying on the thread I've linked above and this is rather strange.
I tend to give more and more credit to advices coming from him rather than a (very well done and useful but still automatically generated) site. As already explained, I own a 13 lite so I can't check by myself. Maybe Barb0ne would like to. Thanks and have a nice day!
The site is maintained by
yshalsager​who is a Recognized Developer Oct 13, 2014 on XDA.
the roms are recovered from the official Xiaomi servers, you can check the MD5 which will be identical.
It may be an error from Xiaomi, it wouldn't be the first time.

Saying anything wrong against XiaomiFirmware wasn't my intention, not at all and I'd like to underline once more as I've already tried to in my previous message. I'm starting to think that Xiaomi could well manufacture two lines for the Civi 2: the global which is just a rebadged 13 Lite and the CN which has the different cameras. It could be an explanation (but a mess apart from a nonsense from Xiaomi; not the first time anyway, at least if I remember well).
See here, sold with the global rom with the unlocked bootloader.

Edit:
It's exactly the same problem as with the Xiaomi 12T Pro and Redmi K50 Ultra, same phone but completely different camera (not the case with the 13 lite and civi 2) and yet Xiaomi Eu exists for these phones.

I tried all the roms in both global and EEU versions the problem is always the same the camera app crashes, it is partially solved by installing a third-party camera app (it works partially, the main camera works but when you activate the secondary for selfies not working properly)

In fact, from the site it may seem that there is a common rom, it would be necessary to have and test it, to see the effective functioning.

Weird camera problems with common versions, maybe wait for a next update.
Not a complaint, we've put here relevant informations anyway but my original question (and the meaning for such a thread being opened here on a developer's forum) has been slightly sidelined... That's a pity, at least for me. I'd prefer to receive at least something like a reply saying "Forget it, it is impossible to do!" (like probably it is the case) rather than nothing at all.

how do I install it since it's not a fastboot version and as far as I know TWRP is not there yet for CIVI 2?
I know that the hybrid xiaomi.eu roms can be installed via fastboot but I don't know what the syntax is

Also tried the latest official global ROM 14.0.4.0 (some sites specified that it was compatible with the Chinese CIVI 2 version) but in fact it is not compatible. I deduce that for european owners of CIVI 2 China, the only possibility is a developer who works on the Chinese rom possibly adding European languages, which I don't know the level of difficulty.
