Will locking the bootloader with a Stock Rom from a different region present any issues?

My phone came with a Global Rom in EU. After all the latest Google Pay shenanigans I flashed the Stock Rom but I chose the Taiwan rom in order to get call recording. Everything seems to work except the payments of course.

If I now lock the bootloader will I have any issues with using a Taiwan rom on a global device? I have read mixed reports online that it doesn't work and it might brick your device. Will it also pass all the integrity tests? Will GPay work?

I don't know what model of device you have. If you are in the EU, maybe a Russian ROM would be more suitable. Anyway, you shouldn't have any problems with TW ROM either if you lock the bootloader.

I have the Mi11T and flashed OS1.0.13.0.UKDTWXM (I was on the MIUI .eu one). Yes I'm in the EU. Should I try the Russian one first before locking?

It's only your decision. I just gave you a suggestion.

Can confirm after locking the bootloader on Taiwan everything is running smoothly. Passing every integrity test, wallet working, play is certified and miui dialer
