Until now I have always had mobiles with SD cards, and I used to copy the zip firmware to it before flashing. How do you do it with this mobile without SD card? Is it recognized from the computer after formatting it? Another question: If I unlock the bootloader (waiting the 360 hours) and...

After having flashed xiaomi.eu... What happens if some time later I want to upgrade the ROM? Can I keep my personal data, apps and configurations or does the new ROM installation wipe everything?

Is there any inconvenience if you use an unlocked bootloader apart from safety reasons? Do all apps work well? (such as Google Pay)

Do you think the dual GPS will be available at any time or the hardware doesn't work well?

I'm not familiar with Xiaomi but I have flashed firmwares on almost all devices I have (older phones, drones, computers...). It's not a problem, I like to learn and I just need to acquire all the information to do it well. The reason to get the Chines version is because it can be much cheaper...

In Europe it's much more expensive. I wouldn't mind to buy it from China (or Chinese sites selling through European stores) if there is no problem when flashing.

I haven't bought it yet. I want to buy the Mi8 version because I'm attracted by its dual L1+L5 signal that theoretically produces a much higher accuracy, up to 30cm. But people complains that they just get 16meter. It should be a problem with the firmware.

It's a common problem that system partitions (data, system...) are too small on Android phones and you get error messages telling there is not free space even if the mobile has a lot on other partitions. There are some complex ways to modify it (with adb or some special tools) but they are only...

Has the low accuracy GPS problem already been solved?

Then when buying a Mi8 I just need to but the cheapest one, that's the Chinese version? I will just come with the wrong adapter for the charger? The only problem happens if I try to flash the Global ROM instead? Should I lock the bootloader after flashing? Will I be able to use any...

Is it possible to lock the bootlader after flashing Xiaomi.eu? I've read that is not possible if we flash the Global version, you brick it, but I don't know about the Xiaomi.eu one.

Is there any problem apart from needing to unlock the bootlader? I've read a lot of people complaing about bricking their phones because the ROM was Chinese instead of Global.

I have created an specific thread https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/installing-xiaomi-eu-rom-on-a-chinese-version-mi8-problem.45423/

Hello. I'm about to buy a Mi8 and I've read people suggests not buying the chinese ROM version because you can brick it when flashing the Global ROM. What about flashing the Xiaomi.eu ROM instead? Does it have the same problem? Is it possible to flash it safely on a Mi8 containing the Chinese...

And dissadvantages? Is it better just to have the phone rooted?

Hello Is it possible to flash this ROM on a Xiaomi Mi8 that has a Chinese ROM?

What's the advantage of using Magisk to install it?

Has the GPS problem been fixed? And when will we be able to use the L5 signal?

Will this fix the problems with the Xiaomi Mi8 GPS? Is it already included on its xiaomi.eu ROM?

Hello. Many reviews and videos show the GPS is not as accurate as supposed. Instead of getting the alleged 30cm accuracy it has an accuracy worse than 15m. I understand this value sometimes can be better sometimes worse, but some tests show that the accuracy is even lower than in most other...
