Yes You Can After Unlocking BL ... You Just Have To Flash Fastboot Global ROM and you good to go

---------- Post added at 11:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 PM ----------

See There Are 3 Versions Of The Same Devices

1. Chinese one

2. Indian one

3. Global one

( code names are also little bit different )

You can flash any ROM meant for any version to the device you buy .

FYI Giving Some Example Of SomeOne Who Faced Problem Regarding This.

[[[[[Ok guys I figured it out.Redmi K20 firmware starts with "Davincini" and 9T firmware starts with "Davinici" . So I have opened each of the "flash_all,flash_all_except_storage,flash_all_lock " with note pad plus and edited the words Davincini in the k20 fastboot rom to Davinci (9T) in the 8th and 9th row and flashed it with mi flash .It flashed perfectly . But forgotten to choose flash_all. So it relocked the bootloader.Now the front camera was not working.

There was a August update waiting . Updated now all is fine .Case closed.

Now again have to wait for 30 days to unlock the bootloader . Anyways back to miui 10 . So thanks . May be helpful to somebody...

K20 firmware starts with Davincini

9T frimware starts with Davinci...

Thanks Guys.............]]]]]

THIS IS THE WORST CAN HAPPEN TO YOUR DEVICE

As you know this is the same phone basically and I would not say that the price is that much different yes it is cheaper a bit but is up to you if you want to play with ROM installation or get a ready to go Global version of Mi9t.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] iisouljaboiii:
Mi9t has NFC with more LTE bands
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] lolo9393:
Basically? YES

But EURO B20 and B28 LTE bands are not present on K20 china, I guess.

And not sure the phones version are not region locked in case you relock bootloader like MI8 is.

It is a must have for MI9T global ea rom.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] GedeonTaylor:
And please can somebody link me a comvert tutorial, or write it down, how to do it? (I think I will go with the k20) I don't want to mess up the phone.

Thank you
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Pupet_Master:
If you don't want to mess it up and need a tutorial, it kind of mean that you should go with the mi9t ;)

After all, it was clear to what to do as people post here. But if you still feel unsure on how to do it, it's better to don't.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] GedeonTaylor:
I'm only asking because I want to be sure not to mess up. Before I had a a/b partition phone, so it's a bit different, that's why I'm a bit afraid but I like modding and custom roms (like I said currently using mi a2) so I will report here what phone was my choice.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] GedeonTaylor:
I ordered the mi 9t, maybe not the best choice... But we will see. I think I will put custom roms on it after stable 10 roms are out.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Dev_Kahl:
Stable 10 ROMS .... You Are Talking About 6 Months Of Future .... Still You Can Try Paranoid Quartz Alpha ... It Is 70% Stable
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] lolo9393:
70% stable?

Are you kidding?

Custom roms are never 100% working, some are at 99%...But 70% what that?
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] GedeonTaylor:
I'm using 10 rom too currently on my mi a2 while waiting for the 9t. The reason I chose the 9t is that I doesn't need to flash roms right away when it arrives just to use gpay. I think miui 11 will be good, I would use it for 1-2 months when releases, and then custom roms later..

Thank you for your answer, sorry for my messy english
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Pupet_Master:
I understand, but it's better to not mess since order a phone from Ali Express means you wont have any support if things go wrong.

---------- Post added at 13:53 ---------- Previous post was at 13:50 ----------

Miui 11 says the rumors will be released on the 28th of this month so you are in luck ;)

updated OP with nov images

one report of nov 2019 update breaking google pay
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] swieder711:
The boot images are very helpful. Thanks!

I initially used the one patched for Magisk and was able to get root on the Nov release. Than I tried to install EdXposed Yahfa version (after installing Riru 19.5) and I got stuck in during boot at the "G logo" screen.

I was able to get back to a non-rooted system by reflashing the unpatched boot.img file. Now I need to figure out how to disable the Edxposed modules while staying on the November patch. The instructions for disabling Magisk modules seem written for a release earlier than Nov or they assume you have TWRP.

Any quick pointer on how to disable my Magisk modules on the November release?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dipstik:
if you can push the magisk uninstall zip to your device, then fastboot booting into twrp then flashing the magisk uninstall zip that should do the trick.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jd1639:
See this, https://xdaforums.com/pixel-3/themes/magisk-modules-disabler-booting-magisk-t3967433. Twrp isn't going to work on 10.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] swieder711:
Thanks for the pointer. I wasn't sure if that Disabler would work with the November image.

I ended up reflashing the factory default and than reapplying the correct files. I now have GravityBox running on the Nov Image!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ffchampmt:
Up and running with OP's patched image and November "dirty" flash. Don't use G-pay so no report on that.

Edit - patched IMG after first boot shows magisk 19.5 installed, not 20.2 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dipstik:
OP updated to show 19.5.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] MArtyChubbs:
Had the same issue and ran into the problem getting the modules disabled. Glad you were able to get it up and running.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dipstik:
i think doing a full uninstall of magisk (removes modules and settings) might be best until twrp or something else comes along...

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Face_Plant:
Which version of Magisk did you use to patch the boot image? I tried using stable and canary to patch the stock boot image when I updated earlier, but each time it would just reboot straight to bootloader.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dipstik:
i patched with 20.2-72edbfc4 .

this thread might help. i havent updated yet. https://xdaforums.com/pixel-3-xl/help/december-update-rootable-t4013605
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Face_Plant:
I've been following that thread and there doesn't really seem to be a definitive solution yet. What works for one person doesn't seem to work for anyone else (including me). I'll just live without root for the first time in about 9 years until the problem is figured out...
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jlokos:
I read through this thread and the other thread you referenced, Has anyone tried topjohnwu's method: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tutorials.md ? I used with the November update and had no issues. It doesn't involve flashing patched image.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] comady25:
Is root working for anyone else on the Dec update? I just flashed it and Magisk detects that it's installed (20.2 so I'm guessing it's Canary as the latest stable/beta is 20.1) but no root apps work at all.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sliding_billy:
It is working for many and not for others. My wife's P3 rooted fine with canary.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jd1639:
I used this method and it worked with no issues. It was only the second time i used this method but with others having issues with the factory image and patched boot image i thought I'd give it a try.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jlokos:
Thanks. I updated today and the method worked without a hitch.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] odontastic:
I tried this method for the first time on this December update and Magisk didn't find any images to restore. So I went back to the patching method and lost root for a day until I tried a bunch of alternatives to regain root. But FK Manager doesn't allow me to flash a custom kernel any longer.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dipstik:
i had the same problem, in that magisk had no image to restore, since i flashed the image from fastboot. so i flashed the stock november image and couldnt get past recovery for some reason... so i ended up just flashing the patched image after sideloading and it all worked out luckily. i guess we could sideload magisk.zip, right? that would make a stock backup

[Wing, P4350 General] istop:
hi, guys, i just bought the t-mobile wing and i have one problem with it.

I tried to copy some mp3 files to my wing using usb cable, the mp3 files

are about 128mb, however it took me 40 minutes to transfer them.

is this normal? how can i connect the wing as a " card reader ", the transfer

speed is way tooo slow, please help.

Thank You.
[Wing, P4350 General] ccattie:
Mine copies slow too. When I want to dump a bunch of TV shows to it, I do it before bed time.

[Wing, P4350 General] unknown123456:
I realize that if I use Activesync or Windows Mobile Device Center (Vista) to transfer files, it seems to be a bit slower than if I use WM5torage. Now, in general, I still think both methods are slow. I transfer everything through my media card reader which is heck of a lot faster. It'll easily rip 1GB within a couple of minutes to my Kingston 4GB microsd. My other alternative is to use my usb microsd card reader. I only use WM5torage and Activesync as my last resort. But honestly, after owning the Dash/Wing, I think HTC made a pretty slow card reader to begin with. I also think that the microsd card reader in the phone wasn't design to read fast anyway since it only supported up to 2GB back using WM5.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] kaligula1234:
Hi all,

Just got a 3 XL, bought it from a Best Buy marketplace seller in Canada, said it was unlocked but when I put my sim in says contact network to unlock, nothing about entering a code like I've seen on locked phones before.

Contacted Sprint in US who found it from the EMEI and say it's not eligable for unlocking as it's either stolen or someone stopped paying their contract and sold it.

Is there any way of unlocking still or am I going to have to return it?

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] ktmom:
I would return it. Sprint isn't going to release a contract phone.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] kaligula1234:
Damnit, thanks tho
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
he is correct. per sprint policy device needs to b paid in full and active for 50 days and acct needs to b in good standing before theyll unlock a device.

not to mention sounds like u dunno who the previous owners were. Sprint cannot provide u with any specific information attached to the previous owner for security reasons. This means u cant find out how much is owed or who to contact or anything.

Also to add, this sounds very suspicious.. ur saying a best buy retailer sold u a sprint device that was blacklisted or not paid off by another person? I would take it back n get ur money lol i nvr heard of them selling devices that r attached to someone else with unpaid balance or w.e the case is...if they took it in a trade or something they usually will check to see if its free and clear to avoid these types of situations..
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] ktmom:
It was said that it was bought from a marketplace seller. Not BestBuy directly. Kinda like buying from a third party seller off Amazon
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] velkz:
Hello!

I tried to do a clean install of MIUI Global (10.3.11, which came with the phone). I didn't install any other ROM before in this device. Wiped eveything (data, system, dalvik etc.), then flashed the ROM and Magisk.

Now, when I connect the phone via USB I cannot access my files. It only shows "internal shared storage" on Windows, and it's all empty. When I try to transfer a file it shows nothing, the file just don't go. While in recovery I can access the storage and transfer files.

*I did activate USB depuration in developer mode.

*I did change de USB mode to "transfer files"

*I reinstalled the ROM several times.

Maybe it's something to do with the format type of the storage?

I'd try to do a ROM fastboot but I cannot find the fastboot version of MIUI Global for MI 9T.

Please, help :(

Realme Q (5 pro) has Spanish Language?

If not, can be installed morelocale 2 via fastboot to add it?
[Realme 5 Pro Questions & Answers] greenys':
No. Only English, French, Filipino, Indian and Asian languages are officially supported. As for your fastboot question I'd say no. You won't be able to flash anything that isn't officially developed by Realme for your device until you unlock your bootloader. Be it installation from recovery or fastboot. According to rumors we'll be allowed to do that in this December when Realme releases kernel sources for our devices. Please be patient.
[Realme 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Tmv_Josue:
Thak you for your detailed reply.

You know if is possible to switch the Language in the apps to show spanish laguage in them, like whatsapp, facebok, dialer, mesages, etc?

I realy love this phone and want buy it, but the lack of spanish is a no go for me :(
[Realme 5 Pro Questions & Answers] greenys':
Well it's application dependent of course which language they support. It I'm sure you can set third party or store application language to Spanish, especially for big names like Facebook or Whatsapp but for stock apps like dialer or messages I'd say no. If you really want this wonderful device (with Spanish language native support) which I'm enjoying throughoutly you'll have to wait till December to unlock bootloader and flash custom rom that does this for you like Pixel Experience or AOSP.
