Ive replaced a screen on a Kaiser already... Very easy to do.. (I should have taken pictures of the disassembly)...

Anyway, all you need to do is

1) flip the screen up

2) You will see 4 screws holding the screen assembly together. Remove these

3) Next, GENTLY prise of the front cover from the back cover.

(You will not be able to completely remove the front cover, as the board connector cannot be unplugged from the main board...

4) Once you have the screen front and back covers seperated, disconnect the LCD Connector from the Board.

5) Carefully push on the LCD screen to seperate it from the front cover.

6) Once the screen is seperated from the front cover, simply slide the damaged screen out between the SIM card, and main board wiring..

7) Replace the LCD panel, and reverse the proceedure...

Should take you about 30minutes to complete....

I bought the screen for $70au including postage... MUCH cheaper than buying a new Kaiser at over $1000Au a pop...

Lemme know if you need more detailed instructions.

Thanks for your answers!

Does this fix both touch screen and lcd or only lcd ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] assangflexx:
Touch screen is cooked in the lcd. So if one of the two is broken, you have te replace the whole piece.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] Zenderable:
Hey,

I noticed that a lot of people are buying a "global" version of Redmi K20 Pro from Chinese sellers. Such a device comes with pre-installed global ROM with many languages.... but ATTENTION, for now there is no such thing as Global ROM! Chinese sellers unlock the bootloader with their dev account, then they install the remade global rom (most likely coming from non-original sources). One day when the official global ROM comes out, the OTA update will make a brick from the phone (because bootloader will most likely lock or simply the software files will not match).

When the bootloader is blocked, the device must have the same software as it came out of the factory, currently only China ROM. In a few days, the Indian version of Redmi K20 Pro with a different code name - raphaelin - will have premiere. Currently, when you check the fingerprint / code name of your Redmi K20 Pro with fake Global ROM (called trashMIUI) it will turn out that it is raphaelin instead of raphael... This already shows that something is wrong because raphaelin has will be presented in India on July 17.

My advice? If you have a global rom installed on Redmi K20 Pro, first install TWRP and Xiaomi.eu ROM, then stay on it until real global rom will be available! And REMEMBER, never lock your bootloader! If you will do it, the only way to fix it will be flash China ROM using test points.

It is also unknown whether the global rom from the Indian version of the Redmi K20 Pro will be able to be installed on the current Chinese version (there will be different code names).

I bought a Global ROM k20 pro before I figuring it wasn't an official ROM

If they opened the bootloader with a dev account. Is this different methode than with the Mi- account unlocking they tell buyers to do? If it isn't would it be possible to link the device to a different account?

So in theory I could flash a Xiaomi.eu ROM and re-lock bootloader, not gonna re-lock bootloader I know it's ill adviced but it's possible with those ROMs?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] tenshikurabu:
If you boot up the phone, on splash screen, you see the unlock label, that's great, just install twrp and enjoy any rom that you like. Luckily, you've got a pre-unlock device.

If not, I'll be sorry for that, locked bootloader and custom rom, you just can stay with that bad rom, only the qcom 9008 way can flash with locked bootloader.

I bought the normal China version, I have a question, can I fastboot flash India version rom on my China version phone?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] myogui:
Actually if you get a locked you just have to go through the Xiaomi unlocking process which takes a few days to a week. The bootloader is not permanently locked.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] SozzR:
Yes I'm aware of this but I've read instances where people their device was still linked to the retailers MI-account therefore unable to unlock their bootloader that way. Mine will be delivered in 4 days but that's what concerns me the most.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] hussein1:

Just unlock bootloader your redmi k20 pro (China version) and flash your India fastboot Rom.:good:
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] tenshikurabu:
Yeah, can't wait for it.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] Zenderable:
How do you know that? First, India version will be available AFTER 17 July. India version will have different code name (raphaelin) than China version (raphael). Do you install software from Mi 9 on Redmi K20 Pro? Same components, BUT a different code name.

This is a slightly different method because they do not have to wait a week as opposed to an ordinary user. Of course, you can connect your Mi account with the device, but you must allow OEM unlock in the developer settings. Locking a bootloader is not really a good idea. And no, on xiaomi.eu never lock the bootloader. For example, an unlocked bootloader is needed because OTA updates are automatically installed via TWRP. Unlocked bootloader is useful, see what happened to Mi 9SE users - their system displayed a notification that it is destroyed, but thanks to an unlocked bootloader and TWRP you can install everything you want, fix Google Pay, remove MIUI ads, remove junk from the system etc.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] hussein1:
This is not the first time and it will not be last!

Why do you make things so hard?

Both the phone china & India have raphael code name! and there's the ability to install the Global Rom for the Chinese version

There is no need for open gapps. The stock Chinese ROM has Google services already installed. Go to the Mi app store and search for Google. You'll probably not see anything straight away, but will get a pop-up message in Chinese. Click the right button and it will bring up a lot of Google apps, including the Play Store.

Was your phone 'Global ROM' version?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] Robbo.5000:
If you took the time to look through the K20 Pro forums, there are guides already. This is just a few threads below this one.

https://xdaforums.com/k20-pro/how-to/howto-flash-twrp-xiaomi-eu-rom-fix-gpay-t3946342/post79859363

The clue is in the title.

Your phone will probably have an unlocked bootloader, so you can ignore the first part of the guide and move straight on to installing TWRP.

You haven't mentioned GPay either, so you can also ignore the last part of the guide.

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] Robbo.5000:
If you're lucky it's an EU ROM, with very minor changes. The safest option would be to flash TWRP, followed by a legitimate EU ROM.

Download a fastboot ROM from here.

Follow this guide here to flash it.

http://en.miui.com/a-234.html

VERY IMPORTANT.

In step 5 of the guide, before clicking install, you need to change flash option at the bottom of the Flash Tool. It's default is 'Clean all and lock'. Make sure you change this and select 'Clean all'.

The default option locks the bootloader after flashing, so make sure to change it.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] iPozzer:
I read everything here but I had a question. I bought a Redmi K20 Pro Chinese Version recently, I bought it already with the intention of changing its ROM (in the hope that it has the Pixel Experience or LineageOS available until it arrives) and by the little that I know and if I understood well, the version which I bought will be completely different from the Global version (Redmi K20 Pro = raphael and Mi 9T Pro = raphaelin) and the Custom ROM developers will not pay attention to the Chinese version (raphael) when developing, is that it?

That is, when we possibly have a Custom ROM for the Redmi K20 Pro will there be "two versions" (Redmi K20 Pro - [raphael] / Mi 9T Pro - [raphaelin]) or only for the Global version (Mi 9T Pro - [raphaelin])?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] Robbo.5000:
Today the K20 Pro will be released in India. This version has the codename rapaelin. The Mi 9T Pro will be the global version, which has the codename raphael_global. The rumours are that all 3 versions will be identical in terms of hardware. Only the software will be different.

However Xiaomi have been known to change hardware for the same model in different markets. They have also been known to implement restrictions which stop ROMs from one region being flashed on an identical phone from another region.

As long as the hardware is the same, then any custom ROMs will be compatible with all versions. It might be necessary to create different ROM images for each version, but is should be quite easy to do that.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] Zenderable:
Raphael has China ROM and you have raphael but with installed fake Global ROM with raphaelin fingerprint/codename changed in build.prop. So far, there is no global version of Redmi K20 Pro (which supposedly has to be as MI 9T Pro / Pocophone F2) so there is no Global ROM. If the global version comes out - it will be the same code name as Chinese - raphael. Today it premiered an INDIAN version of Redmi K20 Pro, hereinafter called Redmi K20 Pro but with a different code name - raphaelin. For now, it is not known if the raphael software will be compatible with raphaelin. Maybe there will be a proper script that checks the code name and applies the hybrid software.

Hi guys, would like to update my China Rom to India Rom as well (waiting for the unlocking process...)

There are so many guides out there with TWRP, Fastboot, Recovery, mods, apks and so on... I was just wondering if there is a "simple" way to flash the India Rom on a China Rom? I read the guide on the official Mi site and it looked pretty simple but it doesnt talk about TWRP, recovery and so on so i dont know. I did see we musnt check the "Clean all and lock" option, but i wonder if its possible to keep user data (the second option no one talks about :)) or you guys think its best to just swipe it all?

Many thanks!

Device k20 pro running miui10 global 9.5.31 beta with bootloader unlocked.

Make sure you back up your device and you will need to know your password for your Xiaomi account for when your phone boots up later.

This method worked for me but might not work for you, your phone's life is in your hands not mine.

Download these three files to your computer.

Miflash

Minimal adb and fastboot

Firmware, global stable 10.3.3.0 (the one that's a .tgz file)

I got these from madsponge26 thread in the k20 pro guides,news and discussion forum. ( Thank you).

Once downloaded right click on minimal adb and fastboot file and extract to your desk top, when that's done open the file and click install MAKE sure you install to your C:\ drive so type c:\adb

Now right click on miflash file and extract it but MAKE sure you extract it to your c:\ drive like the ADB one so type c:\Miflash

Now right click the firmware file this will be a .tgz file and extract the file (you might need to download a program to do this) when you extract the file MAKE sure you extract it to your c:\ drive AND YOU MUST RENAME THE FILE or you will get an error message later when flashing the new firmware. I think this is because the file name is to long, so extract it to your C:\ drive so type c:\raphaelin

You should have 3 files on your c:\ drive that look like this

C:\adb

C:\miflash

C:\raphaelin

Now go to developer options on your phone and make sure usb debugging is on (you should also see you phone bootloader is unlocked).

Now connect your usb cable to your phone and hold down volume down and power button and the phone should boot into fastboot mode, now connect the other end of your cable to your computer.

Now go to your C:\ drive and open miflash file and start the miflash application by clicking the orange icon.

When miflash is open click the refresh button now your device should show up under where it says device.

THIS NEXT BIT IS IMPORTANT at the bottom of the miflash tool make sure you click one of the TWO options clean all or save user date, DON'T leave it on clean all and lock ( I selected clean all because I made a backup first ) once you selected clean all or save user data go to the top of the page and press select and go to your c:drive and select the c:\raphaelin file. Now (Fingers crossed) press the flash button hopefully that will be it wait until it says success under the result button now wait until phone reboots, it does take a few minutes.

I hope this helps this worked for me, but think carefully before you try because if it doesn't work I'm not sure if I can help.

Goodluck

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] Robbo.5000:
As far as I know you can only go from Chinese to Indian by flashing the Indian fastboot ROM. The simplest way is to use the Mi Flash Tool. You will lose all your data, even if you could flash without erasing the data the unlock process factory resets the phone anyway.

Flashing a fastboot ROM does not require a custom recovery and will overwrite any that is installed.

---------- Post added at 02:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:58 AM ----------

You will be better to flash the latest official ROM first, to make sure you have a compatible vendor image.

You could try without doing this and it might be OK, but if it is not stable you will need to flash an official ROM and try again.

Thanks Robbo5000 for the heads up, i didnt see anywhere saying the unlocking process wipes everything so its good to know. I do have backups on Mi Cloud so i think it should be fine.

Another question: i read that an OTA update might lock the bootloader again (which would cause bootloop on a Chinese phone if its a Global OTA update, if i understand well). There is no risk of that with the India Rom/ OTA update?

Thanks!

Why didnt Xiaomi release this phone in Europe in the first place? It'd be easier for a lot of us. :) According to a store here there was no room for it between the Mi 9T and Mi 9 (price/ market wise). Oh well...

The first file is a recovery ROM. This is for flashing in TWRP or for manually upgrading through the updater app.
