Depends on the option you configure the custom recovery. As for now, i would suggest to avoid root as the process is not straight forward for beginners.

On my way Senior Member 571 posts Joined: Oct 2005	QUOTE(imbibug @ Mar 2 2018, 10:33 AM) Is it straightforward to flash global standard rom on import phones with China/vendor rom if I wait 2 weeks for the bootloader to unlock? As I understand it, people want to flash straightaway so they open their phones up to connect the testpoints but I don't want to go that route. From my reading, it is not possible to do that. You need unlocked bootloader.

I asked if it was possible to apply to unlock the bootloader on an imported phone, wait 2 weeks to unlock, then flash global standard rom without opening the phone up. Ah. Sorry. In that case, yes. As long u have ubl. http://en.miui.com/thread-1542621-1-1.html

On my way Senior Member 571 posts Joined: Oct 2005	QUOTE(lucaswjk @ Mar 2 2018, 02:53 PM) remember the boot loader is locked...? that mean it is not fake rom, it is distributor rom xiaomi release the rom to distributor for them to customize, aka google apps Dont think so. Why xiaomi susah2 go with this 'distributor rom' then later release the global rom. It is fake rom / customize rom, which somehow reseller manage to install it with lock boorloader (with some tools perhaps?). And the fake rom is not updatable without bootloop. . Anyway, i believe now reseller can flash the official global rom since it publicly available.

On my way Senior Member 571 posts Joined: Oct 2005	QUOTE(djlah @ Mar 3 2018, 07:00 PM) my set is Global Stable ROM, OTA to 9.2.6.0 no issue. now my problem is failed to unlock bootloader. already read the FAQ and follow the steps, my account already applied unlock and permission already granted by sms notification. now stuck bind account & device. error 86006. some said, VPN to China, various of choices tested, no luck. some said stable ROM are not allow, but I check official download, there is no newer development rom, older version of development rom are not allow flash. any solution? when MIUI 10 developer ROM gonna release? My comment: I tought xiaomi already allow ubl on stable rom, since i did it on china stable. From reading, you need to test point flash to china rom, then bind account from there. I use DNS method to bypass 10008 error. Can read here: http://en.miui.com/thread-1759702-1-1.html

On my way Senior Member 571 posts Joined: Oct 2005	Yup. Really sad to see xiaomi now discourage user to unlock bl. If you need ubl for custom rom, i cant see any realiable one. If you need root for whatever reason, then test point is the only way right now. Funny that xiaomi release global stable rom without dev rom.

On my way Senior Member 571 posts Joined: Oct 2005	There are many factor that affect SOT. The main one is screen brightness. If you play games with high brightness, SOT will not be great. On the dev rom vs stable rom, stable rom has less bug than dev rom, but both still usable for daily driver. On ram management, as i mentioned before, android is getting better. Different with PC, unused ram for android is a waste of ram. If your device lags, most probably there is memory leakage in app. Not android fault.
