Step 1 – Unlock the bootloader

Your phone is run by an operating system called Android. And as soon as the power button is turned on, the operating system launches a small software called bootloader. It’s a lot like the “main gate” of a phone. Phone companies usually lock the bootloader so that ordinary users do not damage the phone by installing the wrong ROM.

However, those who want to change the ROM of a slightly advanced level user and phone can do so by unlocking the bootloader.

To unlock the bootloader on Xiaomi’s phone, you need to apply online on Shaomi’s website. An application is not a written application or something like that.

  • First, login to your phone with your me account (if you haven’t already).
  • Now go to About Phone or My Device option from phone settings. Here you will tap 6 times to write MIUI Version or Bulid Number. Now the developer option has been enabled on your phone.

  • Now you will get an additional option called Developer Options by going to the Additional Settings option from the phone settings again. Go inside and turn on OEM Unlocking and USB Debugging.
  • Now go to Mi Unlock Status and you will see the following screen. Read the warning and click on the Add Account option. As I said before in this step but your phone must have good speed internet connection. And after unlocking the bootloader, you will no longer get Shaomi’s default Find My Device feature.
  • Then from your Windows PC en.miui.com/unlock Visit the site and install the software called Mi Unlock Tool on your PC.

  • Now open the m flash tool. Select the “Clean All” option at the very bottom of the tool’s homepage. However, do not forget to select the “Clean All and Lock” option. Now connect your phone to the PC with the USB cable and enter the fastboot mode of the phone as before. Press the refresh button on the tool.
  • If the tool recognizes your phone, click on the Select button in the address bar of the tool to show the folder where the ROM data is kept. ROM will be installed on your phone as soon as you press the flash button. The whole process may take a few minutes to complete.

Now your phone will boot into the newly installed Global or China ROM. After buying a new phone, you will see a setup screen like the setup screen. All data on your phone has been erased since it was flashed.

And this way you can successfully go from China ROM to Global or from Global ROM to China ROM.
