Redmi Note 9

[FloWirus]

Hi,
I have one tricky question.
I have:
Redmi Note 9
MIUI Global Stable V12.5.6.0(RJOEUXM)
Model: M2003J15SG

Can I safety flash this phone to V13.0.2.0.SJOMIXM (MIUI12) from mi.com site via flasher? Becouse OTA download only V12.5.6.0(RJOEUXM).

I don't think so.
MIUI 13 is also available for Global EEA ROM. V13.0.3.0.SJOEUXM

There is some differences in device or some like that?

 

[gogocar62]

There is no difference in the device.
Both ROMs are for the same device.
SJOEUXM = Global ROM for the EU market
SJOMIXM = Global ROM international

What the letters in the MIUI version designation mean

MIUI V12.0.5.0. QFJMIXM - Android version M - Android 6.x (Marshmallow) N - Android 7.x (nugát) O - Android 8.x (Oreo) P - Android 9.x (Pie) Q - Android 10.x R - Android 11.x S - Android 12.x - device code (phone model) JA - Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro JB - Xiaomi Mi 10 JC - Redmi 9 JO - Redmi Note 9 JZ...

So if there is no difference in the device, why I can't flash my phone to global if I'm from Poland and use this phone in Poland?

Both are Global. Why do you want to install an international ROM? I do not see reason.
You can install SJOMIXM = Global ROM international but it's not that easy.
1. unlock bootloader (all user data will be erased)
2. Install the ROM using Miflash
3. lock the bootloader

Now I have MIUI Global Stable V12.5.6.0(RJOEUXM) but on mi.com for Redmi Note 9 available are:
V13.0.3.0.SJOEUXM（MIUI12）EEA
and
V13.0.2.0.SJOMIXM（MIUI12）Global
So I want to install newtest and better (IMO) V13 in stead of V12

BTW
I know RedmiNote9 is on MTK so can't install xiaomi.eu rom

 

[gogocar62]

I do not understand you. Both ROMs are MIUI 13 / Android 12 ...
EEA ROM is newer.
I will advise you. Knock it off..

 

[FloWirus]

Yes, but my question is: why I can't install it on my RedmiNote9.
You said "I don't think so."
But it there is no difference in the device, why I can't install V13.0.3.0.SJOEUXM in stead of my V12.5.6.0(RJOEUXM).

Maybe we just did not understand each other.

I guess we don't understand each other.
You can install V13.0.3.0.SJOEUXM instead of V12.5.6.0 (RJOEUXM).
You cannot install V13.0.2.0.SJOMIXM instead of V12.5.6.0 (RJOEUXM) through the Updates app.

hello,

thanks a lot for your help.

do you confirm that to update an official rom for my redmi note 9 phone (M2003J15SG), I need to unlock the bootloader first ? unlocking the bootloader is not only needed to flash unofficial rom ?

I have currently :

OS : miui global 12.0.9
android 10 QP1A

and I want to update to
