Even if now we are concerned only with debranding the xiaomi, but in ancient times the "new Xiaomi" had to replace the Chinese ROM with our own one from MIUI Italy and it was as essential as it was easy: there was no block, no waiting, no need to change recovery. With the advent of international marketing, the situation was then reversed thanks to the official Global ROMs, beautiful and ready but a little more complicated to replace.
In more recent times the Xiaomi have also begun to be distributed by telephone operators (Vodafone, WindTre, Tim) with competitive prices and installments but who, as usual, made use of the right to use dedicated versions of the software called "branded". In the case of Xiaomi the only ones differences detected are some small bugs but above all delays of up to two months in updates.
Fortunately the good Francis Tescari continued the development of his Xiaomitools for changing the ROM that at the time of writing, through this guide, allows us to debrand the Xiaomi in half an hour, without waiting for the canonical seven days to unlock the bootloader, by installing the International Global ROM.
Requirements for debranding a xiaomi
- Read ALL the guide thoroughly before starting
- Enable USB Debug: Click 10 times quickly on “MIUI version” in the device info page. Then go in Additional Settings -> Developer Options, Enable USB Debugging.
- Download and install the tool on your PC: https://www.xiaomitool.com/V2/latest
- Original or good quality connection cable
- Phone charged at least 70%
- Read ALL the guide again before starting 😆
Time Required: 30 minutes
- XiaomiTool V2 installation
Install the previously downloaded package following the instructions on the screen.
- Start the application and accept the disclaimer.
Then the necessary drivers will be installed.
- Select the scenario
Select the left button to choose you want to change the ROM
- Select the device
If everything is in order, a list will be shown with yours as a joining item. Select them and continue.
- Device information
The application will show you information about your connected device and perform some completely normal reboots. Wait.
- MIAssistant connection
If everything is going correctly, the phone should reboot into recovery mode showing a screen like the one you see in the application. Press the Volume Down button twice to reach the “Connect with MIAssistant” item and confirm your choice by pressing the power button once.
- Select the type of operation
Select the first item in the list on the application: "Xiaomi official ROMs".
- Search for compatible ROM
The search process for compatible ROMs with your device will start. Wait.
- ROM selection
Once the search process is finished, you will be shown a list of installable ROMs. Although the European version (EEA) is probably present, it is rarely possible to install it successfully. Is preferable select the Global Stable which is essentially identical.
- Download the selected ROM
The application will start automatically to download the selected ROM. It is possible that at this stage you will be asked to log in with your Xiaomi account. If you don't have one, you will have to create it.
- Reconnection to MIAssistant
Once the ROM download is finished, the phone will restart again in recovery mode. As before press the Volume Down button twice to reach the item “Connect with MIAssistant” and confirm your choice by pressing once the power button.
- Flash ROM on the phone
From this moment the actual procedure for the ROM flash begins. Do not touch anything, neither on the phone nor on the PC until the operation is complete.
- Conclusion of the operation
If you see this screen, it's done! You can wipe your forehead and start configuring your new International Global ROM free from the branding of telephone operators.
We want to thank you Xiaomi Tips e Francis Tescari ❤️
I try ... maybe there is someone on the line. I have done the whole procedure but it stops at 4,99% on the phone, while on the PC everything goes on, it goes over 100% it goes up to about 1150%, the remaining seconds go into negative and, in the end, it gives me an error. I don't know what else to do ... thanks!
same problem I 11i branded vodafone
you solved?
I have the same problem too, is there any news?
More than perfect driving.
A big thank you to Francesco Tescari.
I felt compelled to make a small donation for the work done 💪
Excellent guide! Thanks a lot!
We especially thank Francesco Tescari who created a tool so well done that the guide would not even be needed!
Hi there Simon!!
I Want to Try Xiaomitool V2 in A Redmi 9 Branded Hg = Wind 3, but I Purchase It in Venezuela.
Can you guarantee that it works 100% for me?
Hi, does anyone know if these methods also apply to the 11t pro?
I tried without unlocking the bootloader but it didn't allow me to install the EU rom ...
Thanks so much
Still driving current or there are things to know before proceeding.
I thank
does not debrandize vodafon phones, especially redmi note 9, bootloader locked
I used it to unbrand a mi8 lite, a mi10lite, my mi10, but a friend's mi10T lite is just not there, from an error when checking the account for unlocking.
I tried with Mi10t Pro TIM and the procedure at the end gave me an error. But the MIUI version now appears V12.1.3.0.RJDMIXM MIUI Global stable. Can you tell me if, despite the error, the version is updated (miracle)? Besides, I have not lost any data as if I had made an update.
I confirm that despite the error message the mi 10t pro (formerly Tim) appears to have a global version as I have received the update to MIUI 12.5 for about a week. 👍
It tells me that I need to unlock bootloader on mi 10t pro. Possible?
Sorry but did you unlock the botloader or did it all automatically?
thank you
I followed the instructions in this tutorial. There is no need to unlock the bootloader. The only difference from the guide is that it eventually gave me an error message but nevertheless it all worked out well. From the comments I saw that it happened to another user with TIM branded MI 10T PRO.
Hi, I am trying to debrand a TIM brand Mi10T Pro, which remained stationary at the December 2020 patches, but with the latest version of the tool it tells me to unlock the bootloader. I haven't moved on. What version of the tool do you use and did you also ask to unlock the bootloader and maybe you didn't? I don't know how to precede.
Hi, it didn't ask me to unlock the bootloader, it did everything automatically. The version I have is 20.7.28 (beta). Since it's been a while I can also confirm that I have continued to receive updates. Now I'm at 12.5.5.0 RJDMIXM.
Sorry for the ignorance but having to receive a TIM branded XIAOMI Redmi Note 9T 128 GB 5G I wanted to know if, without debrandizing it, it accepted sims from other telephone operators (WIND, VODAFONE, FASTWEB ETC) and if the answer was yes to what problems or differences would I encounter using other suppliers? Also because I believe that debranding invalidates the guarantee. Unfortunately I bought it and I only realized after it was branded TIM. In fact I would like to know what are the differences between the one with Brand and without: are there limitations or not? Also, if I had to debrand it, could I go back to basics? Thanks to anyone... Read the rest »
hello simone I have a branded redmi note 8T I tried to debrand it by connecting the xomi account but it tells me I have too many accounts and I can not connect the account.
Perfect unlocking procedure… ..very great… .followed step by step and phone me 10 brandi tim now with emui12 global… ..I made a donation because you deserved it!
Hello and thanks for the guide!
I tried to follow all the procedures but immediately after selecting the Global MIUI it tells me that I have to unlock the bootloader in order to go on, without other options. Because? Thanks!
You have probably selected the European version (EEA)
I tried again now, checking carefully and I selected the Global version, the European one (EEA) doesn't even show it to me.
How is it that it always asks me to unlock the bootloader? Is it the only way to go? It's dangerous? Because I have read a lot of alerts for this procedure ...
Thanks again!
Excellent guide, everything went smoothly on mi 10 branded vodafone.
Thank you so much for the excellent guides and a donation seems right to me !!
Hello I just completed the installation and as a result I have an error:
MIUI SIDELOAD FAILED: ADB EXECUTION Exception: Adb Sideload Exited with status: 1
error code: sideload_instal_failed
source errs: sideload_install_failed
he writes to me:
press “com_xiaomitool.v2.procedure.install.StockRecoveryinstall $ 4.run (Unknow Source)” to retry the failed procedure.
i don't know where to find that command. Can you help me understand how to solve the problem?
thank you very much and everyone and happy holidays
Hi, could you solve your problem? I'm having the exactly same issue with my 10t Pro.
Thanks in advance!
Hi guys, in November I bought 2 Xiaomi Mi10 lite 5G branded TIM one for me and the other for my daughter. After a while I discovered that there was a bug so after a couple of minutes the interlocutor could no longer hear my voice. Since TIM never updates the MIUI I downloaded the Francesco Tescari program and proceeded to unbrand the phone. Everything was perfect and now with the MIUI 12.1.1.0 it works perfectly. I tried to do the same thing with my daughter's phone but something went wrong and gave me an error.... Read the rest »
the same thing happened to me, you managed to solve it, could you help me ??
I had to flash the MIUI 12.1.1.0 ROM with the Miphone20151028 program with Miflash it was not successful.
Hi everyone
is it possible that the phone does not detect me?
it tells me to enable usb degug even if it is already active,
the cable is original i don't know how to fix
on mi notes 10 lite brand vodafone
thank you all
Good evening everyone, I would have a problem with my redmi note 9. In a nutshell as soon as I choose the device and see what to do it tells me that it has not been successful by talking to me that it could be the non-original cable etc. .. (cable taken inside the box of his phone) and the cell goes into fastboot, how can I solve? my operator is WindTre.
Grazie anticipatamente
guide super… mais je comprend pas
j'ai suivi tout le tuto parfaitement, choisi version rom officiel mi
j'ai pris la rom global stable et j'ai eu mon petit smiley ”instalation complete sucefully” .. mais je suis toujours brandiser Vodafone… j'ai oublier de faire quelque chose?
Could it work on mi pad 4 to change roms? maybe a custom?
The tool only installs official ROMs
Once the MIUI 12 is installed, will the other updates be automatic or do I have to do them every time? Thanks to who will want to answer
They will be automatic 😉
Help
everything was fine until step 10 Download the selected ROM, from here my mi10 crashed on the fastboot screen on the tool then a fastboot flash failled error message appeared, what should I do?
Unfortunately it is a somewhat generic error that can depend on various things, from the cable, to the corrupt download ... Try to do it all over again, if you can change the cable or even on another PC
Is it possible to change roms with this tool from China to global without unlocking the bootloader on the k20pro?
NO. To use a global rom on a china phone (and vice versa) you have to leave the bootloader unlocked otherwise brick the phone!!
If I switch from a vodafone EU to a global one, what changes? it says almost nothing but what actually changes from EU to Global? could something not work?
From EEA to Global there are no differences if not a few days in the update times.
Instead, between the EU and global branded ones, the update times also change by several months.
In the branded someone has found strange bugs but nothing officially verified. In general the operation and compatibility is the same
What do you recommend for mi 10 brand tre?
Also, if you install Global, can I receive updates via ota?
thank you
thank you very much, I was reading compatibility problems on the net with the times for example and I was a bit hesitant to update. but maybe they were related to other phones ..
I don't know what to tell you… theoretically there are no problems since they are official Roma but well informed.
You can also try to install the EEA but 9/10 requires you to unlock the bootloader
Does this ROM change erase personal device data?
Sure. Return your phone to its original state as if it were taken out of the box for the first time.
Make a backup of photos and data and social accounts that are there.
Sim, of course
Regarding the warranty, what problems can there be? eventually you can then return to the original ROM (for example, in the case of a return or re-entry under warranty?)
Several users have asked the question to the assistance that has confirmed the validity of the guarantee as long as the operation is successful and does not damage the phone. Unlocking the bootloader is also allowed.
Hi, I tried to perform the procedure on a mi10t brand Tim, it gave me error in the end, I feared the worst, I turned on the phone, and it started with all the contents I had, strange thing now in the code of the version I from instead of the brand Tim the XM. a miracle or what?
Same thing happened to me. I noticed it from your comment. did you get any updates afterwards? We will see if the MIUI 12.5 arrives. I am currently on the version V12.1.3.0.RJDMIXM which would appear to be the global. Can anyone confirm?
Tout pareil pour moi, ça semble bien avoir pris la bonne version mais j'ai aussi eu une erreur pendant the installation. Je vais laisser comme ça, on verra bien….
