I just got my Xiaomi POCO X2 (without realising I've bought it as REDMI K30 on Aliexpress). Found out that there's no NFC option in the settings. When I tried to setup GooglePay the app told me that something wrong with my ROM.
All the specs on the Internet say that both POCO X2 and K30 support NFC. I wonder if it is a ROM issue and how do I get one that would make the NFC chip operational.
My current ROM is MIUI Global 11.0.2 | Stable 11.0.2.0(QGHINXM)
Thank you in advance!

Hi!
The problem is that POCO X2 will be only launched officially on Feb 4th. Therefore, there's no such model yet, as well as no official Global ROM exist yet.
What is being sold on Aliexpress is Chinese version named Redmi K30. The fake "Global" ROM is installed by sellers, and in many such cases the the phone sale page clearly says "Global ROM NO NFC", "China ROM WITH NFC" - which only means that Global ROM (phone) is not certified by Google, so NFC will not work.
What to do?
You need to install either Official China ROM or custom ROM like MiRoom or xiaomi.eu with Magisk& Magisk Manager/ Ten hide your rot access (and unlocked bootloader) from Google Services and Google Pay.
Again, the temporary (!) problem is no TWRP is available yest to install custom ROMs and Magisk. (just wait )

If you bought poco x2, I think they have removed the entire NFC chip from the PCB itself...but global k30 has the chip just the ROM doesn't have support for it. EU rom would enable it

There are two options:
1) you purchased Redmi K30 with so called "Global ROM" (firmware from Poco X2). In this case you'll have NFC but it's removed from X2 Settings (software). So, install TWRP and flash xiaomi.eu ROM (latest so far is 20.3.5 or Stable 11.0.13.0), then flash patch for hiding root and unlocked bootloader from Google Services - and you have NFC working!
2) you purchased pure Poco X2. In this case I'm afraid you don't have NFC anyway

Magisk is a bit buggy. Fails CTS profile and stuck on bootlogo upon installing certain modules.
How do you install magisk anyway? I am currently using MIUIeu 11.0.13. Patched boot.img with magisk & flashed using Twrp. Passed ctsprofile.

Redmi K30 is the chinese version, so there's clearly chinese apps.
The bootloader is sure unlockable. TWRP, root and custom ROMs (xiaomi.eu) are available, so installing multi language ROM with no chinese apps is sure possible.
Redmi Note 9 Max... - I'm not sure that it was presented at global market... I know for sure that Redm8i Note 9s is the global version of RN9 (not Max).
Bottom line:
if you find clearly "global version" RN9 Max - and YOU'RE OK WITH NO NFC - go for it. Its advantage over K30 is bigger battery (5020 mAh vs 4500 mAh).
The major advantage of K30 is NFC (and Sony IMX 686) over the Redmi Note 9 series.
The processors (730G vs 720G) are quite on peer (730G has a bit overlocked GPU and that's it).

Well, I love my K30 (however in my particular item the screen goes a little bit into yellow shades).
The great performance, battery life, camera and NFC make it a great choice.
The only thing which is better in Redmi Note 9 series is a bigger battery. In all other K30 is IMHO a bit better.

Here's xiaomi.eu website:
https://xiaomi.eu/community/
Chose MIUI 12 dowmloads or MIUI 11 stable ROMs. Then find your device in the firmware list.
Just flash it via TWRP, no "hiding" patches are needed, GPay will work at default.
If you want to back your phone into Poco x2, try these simple solutions
1. Download both fastboot rom for k30 (China) and Poco x2 (global).
2. Extract both ROMs on your computer desktop.
3. Open China rom folder then delete the images folder.
4. Open global rom folder then copy and paste images folder into the China rom folder
5. Flash China fastboot rom, it boot to Poco x2 global rom

Hi, you have to unlock the bootloader first and than you can install Global or EU xiaomi rom. For asking xiaomi to unlock the bootloader of your phone HERE
I'm thinking about flashing a global miui rom on my newly purchased k30 pro zoom edition. How will the phone work regarding over the air updates if I do that? Will it be able to update just like normally?
I am thinking about official updates, I am currently on MIUI 12.0.8 and the latest global I can get from mifirm is 12.0.3. Will it work?
Hello there.
Did you manage finally to flash global Poco F2 pro into K30 Pro.Zoom?
After that, is it possible to lock the bootloader?
Thank you
I just flashed the Xiaomi.eu rom for my Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G India device, according to which the device codename is peux. The same can be seen in the pinned post of this forum, which says the Indian device has the codename peux.
However, I cannot find a stock ROM with the same codename at xiaomifirmwareupdater.com.
To quote xiaomiui.net, the rom codename should be peux:
The Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G India model will be the same as the global Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G (veux). Although the codename is “veux”, the ROM codename is “peux”. To summarize, Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G Global (veux) will be available in India as Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And as per gizmochina.com, the rom codename should be veux:
The Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G that debuted in global markets recently is codenamed as “peux,” but its ROM codename is “veux.” As can be seen in the screenshot of the Mi code shared by Xiaomiui, the device with the “peux_in” codename will be arriving in India with the Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G.

One thing is for sure. The Global Redmi Note 11 Pro and the Indian Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus have the same specs and therefore should support the same rom. This can be seen in Xiaomi.eu's download chart as well.
My only concern would be the codename reported in build props and elsewhere if I use the veux ROM from xiaomifirmwareupdater.com.
I would appreciate any kind of help/pointers.
PS: This device is not to be confused with Redmi Note 11 Pro+ China which has the codename pissaro.

Unfortunately, I didn't record any details of the stock ROM that shipped with the device before flashing the EU ROM. I didn't anticipate such a situation.
According to getdroidtips.com, the version should be V13.0.6.0.RKCINXM.
And here's what the Xiaomi.eu ROM reports now: V13.0.14.0.RKCMIXM 2201116SI
If compared with the screenshot provided by xiaomiui.net, the EU ROM reports veux/veux:11 in the device's fingerprint (could be because it's based on global version of MIUI), while the Indian ROM reports peux_in/peux:11 in the fingerprint.

The closest is 2201116SC but VEUX Maybe try with MIflash
Custom rom better than stock https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/miui-13-stable-release.64441/
You will be able to see that there are roms for PEUX and VEUX (so not the same ones).

If you look closely, both ROM codenames have been given as VEUXG, which means that the ROMs are the same.
Also, is there a way to read build.prop from a ROM's zip file without installing it? That might resolve some doubts.

It's just, I saw the top line.
It is surely good.
Is there no way to get the actual ROM that shipped with the device that will report the fingerprint to be peux_in/peux:11? Or is it the same as the veux's India ROM at xiaomifirmwareupdater.com?
I also checked their official site for ROM download, but to no avail.

Surely but the other 5g versions too.
Alright. I just flashed the veux India ROM from xiaomifirmwareupdater.com, and I can confirm that the fingerprint has been restored to reporting peux_in/peux:11 just as it should be.
So, the answer to my original question would be:
The official stock ROM for peux devices, i.e. Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G India, is the Indian version of veux's ROM as listed at xiaomifirmwareupdater.com.
Hey. I have the same Indian Redmi Note 11 pro plus 5g

Maybe I could download the latest package from the updater and upload and send you the recovery rom if you need.
But can you also explain how did you flash the eu rom and why did you switch it back to global?

I think you are confused between the official EU region ROM offered by Xiaomi and the Xiaomi.eu ROM I talked about here. The Xiaomi.eu rom is a modded version of the MIUI for this device with bloatware and ads stripped and with some added extra features. Installation process is similar to installing any other custom ROM.

I get notifications for the update but I don't want to update it. A person I know has the same device and they updated it to Android 12.
The Google Dialer is full of bugs and now much worse than before. The caller id never shows up and the phone just freeze on that screen. This the reason why I decided not to update it.

Hi all,
Aliexpress sells Redmi Note 11E Pro's unlocked with the global ROM. This apparently removes the NFC ability for the phone.
A question for any users that have bought this phone:
1.Were you able to change to a custom ROM (eg. Arrow OS) and get NFC to work?
2. How did you do this? Did you have to install the China ROM first and then install the Arrow OS Custom ROM?
Having read many of the questions about bricked drives, it's just got me worried.
I'm coming from a Redmi Note 4X - I know but it is such a trooper that only after 5 years it it starting to get sluggish for me so just trying to get a handle on whether anything has changed from when I last flashed a new phone.
Thank you for any and all input to the above.
1. sure
2. No need to install CN ROM. Proceed with the installation of the ROM you want right away.
You can just use the xiaomi.eu ROM and make sure you download the VEUX rom and not the VEUXG as that is only for global devices but if you want something other than MIUI you can do it right away
Pixel experience on 11e pro 5g not working NFC, how working?
With the release of the 13 pro global rom and the 2 phones having very similar hardware. Is it possible to flash this rom on to our 12s Ultra device via trwp?

No rom on a Xiaomi will add bands since it's due to the HW.
