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
If anyone has figured the conversion process please help others,, thanks
I flashed the K30 TWRP and the Xiaomi.eu ROM, my device has been fully converted to a Redmi K30.

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.

I purchased k30 which have china rom pre installed how can i flash global rom ( poco x2 firmware) on my Chinese k30???
Is it possible to do so without unlocking my bootloader and installing twrp???
POCO X2
So if I'm using custom ROM on my POCO X2 and just in case if I want to change. Can I revert back to MIUI and still get OTA updates. Will the bootloader status be locked or unlocked? Has anyone tried doing this?

I got the K30 with "Global ROM" as well.
Which xiaomi.eu ROM should I download to convert to Poco X2 and where can I download the patch for hiding root and unlocked bootloader from Google Services?
Thanks

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

Hello guys, I have a question: I want to update the firmware on my Poco and I use RROS 10. The latest firmware for European devices is already made Android11 (V12.0.8.0.r) can i still flash this with my Android 10?
Hi. As far as I know the only A11 stock ROM available for Surya is V12.0.6.0.RJGEUXM Europe Beta which you can flash over your current ROM (you'll have format data afterwards though). Don't know about this "Android11 (V12.0.8.0.r)". Better read up a bit more on this before you get your phone bricked
Thx man!
I'm sorry if I posted it in the wrong thread, but I just didn't find the latest firmware of karna. Every thread i looked for, the download page says 'Surya'. It'd be great if someone posted the link to the archives/latest firmware for Karna.
Also, did Karna get official (MIUI) Android 11?
I am trying to install Arrow OS (OSS) so I need the latest firmware
They are unified builds.
Even the OTA update I got for Indian POCO X3 had the word SURYA in it.
And yes, Android 11 is released for Indian Variant. Recovery ROM is 2.3GB based on MIUI 12.0.1.0

Download link to the stock firmware?
Here's the direct link from Xiaomi Server.
2.3GB size recovery ROM.
One thing to know before you update is, you cannot use full screen gestures with third party launcher. You have to use built in Poco Launcher or use Navigation Buttons.

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?
