Not possible - bootloader locked
What's the difference of Global vs China firmware(only)?
I flashed Chinese and works as expected, China's firmware seems to be of newer version compared to global

No one knows? hmmm
Hey,
Yeah the Chinese version is mostly newer 1-2 versions.
The differences:
Only Chinese and English language.
Google services aren't included.
Some bloatware/alternatives apps for the Chinese market are pre installed.
Xi voice assist as default voice assistant (only in Chinese language)
Some minor things I forgot. But that's it.

Well as said "firmware" only, so what language or google services are you talking about? ..I'm running LineageOS. Again "FIRMWARE" only update
P.S. I guess no one knows in XDA Community as I've seen no real replies, people read this and move away as they actually can't reply to this. MIUI International vs Chinese sure, easy to spot or guess the differences but Global vs Chinese firmware? ..firmware is for the proper function of the cell phone, bluetooth, proximity sensor, wifi etc. Why there is Global and Chinese version is my question, should be just 1 version of firmware?
Really don't think there is any difference in the firmware. They include firmware with every rom and there is no hardware difference so no reason it would be different.

I would agree with you although there is global firmware and Chinese firmware and Chinese always is ahead in version
P.S. So if u flash MIUI global would have older firmware compare to Chinese MIUI. Wonder why they don't use the same firmware as the firmware shouldn't be language related
P.S.2 Just flashed latest v9.8.22 Chinese firmware on my latest LineageOS, everything is good
Now I'm on 9.9.3(China), everything works just fine in LineageOS

Hi, I know that this is old, but have you checked if you had LTE B20 working on Chinese firmware? I'm also wondering if update would bring any benefits

I have no idea ?
It came with a chinese RN7Pro Box, I did buy it used though, but the person I bought it from doesn't really know about BL unlocking and switching ROMs, and the phone was locked
Which makes me wonder, is it ok if I flash the Chinese variant on an Indian unit (or vice versa) with the option flash all and lock in the mi flash app?

I don't think you could change variant and lock the bootloader but you can flash global on chinese or chinese on global and use it as a daily driver, keep in mind though you cant lock bootloader and you have to use a custom recovery. Btw the guy whom you bought was indian or chinese ??

You can flash China ROM on an Indian variant, or Global (Indian) ROM on a Chinese variant only if bootloader is unlocked. Make sure you check the option "Clean all" in Mi Flash Tool.
Never use the option that says "Clean all and lock" because you may brick your device.

I think once you have unlocked the bootloader, you may be able to lock it using either ROM versions. But I would advise against this because, at least in theory, this shouldn't be the case. When it comes to locking bootloaders, you always need to flash the original firmware of that device variant. I suspect they may have used some other tool to manage this, but I can't really say for sure how they did it. I could try to do the same via Mi Flash Tool just for the sake of experimenting, but it's the only device I have, and I can't risk bricking it.

Is it already possible to install a global rom on a Chinese version Xiaomi 12(2201123c)?
Does anyone knows how to do that, or any cons?

Yep, ive done so recently. Unlocking bootloader and installing the global rom... It was pretty straight forward but I ran into a lot of problems thanks to windows with my ADB drivers and miflash works. If u run into errors there's heaps of good guides on youtube you can look at based on your error type.
Edit:
Here's where I downloaded the OG xiaomi global rom from.

Post the rom version for example V13.0.16.0.SLCEUXM.
hello, I bought two Xiaomi 12 CN version to resell, unlocked and put global rom but it doesn't support Google Pay. Oh I just saw that on Aliexpress sellers sell the CN version with Rom Global that supports Google Pay and OTA update without root.
Does anyone know what rom or method they use? (attach the link)

I do not recommend it, the solution would be to root and use Magisk hide without being sure to have a result but for the moment it is not possible on MIUI 13

Been looking for a solution to convert this device to the global variant successfully with the modem working or to get Verizon to release the update. It's been one year since Android 12 has been released and it doesn't seem like OOS 12 is coming anytime soon, so if anyone knows how to get the modem working on the global variant, I'd be glad.
The hardware and kernel source are fundamentally different on the Verizon model. Even if you somehow got global firmware installed with working data, you'd have a lot of other bugs and glitches because the hardware isn't compatible with the Global OS.

It works quite well. on the V model (that's what I have). but you need to back up your modem for data. It's best to reset to 11 factory. Then you can run ROMs that are OS 12.

I did not use a specific guide. I have been rooting the phone for some time and found that I could flash os global using a fastboot flash ROM. If you root your phone and save the stock os the 11 modems you can replace it in the global rom.
I will correct myself and say that I don't remember for sure if global will work (for modem replacement) but you can get custom ROMs to work well with that method.
I would have to go back and sort through for the links or try again to be sure. But if you know what you're doing, it is pretty hard to brick the phone. So play around with other guides. (with your own risk and discretion involved).
You can even run android 13 on the V model( not good IMO. buggy).
