Most Xiaomi devices, that are bought from unofficial sources, come with this type of ROM. They support many display languages and come with the Google Play Store, but often also with adware, spyware. These ROMs are unstable and unoptimised, because they are compiled from ROMs of other devices, so some things might not function properly and they might brick the device anytime. As such, **these ROMs are not safe to use** and it is highly recommended that you get rid of one as soon as possible. To do that, [flash your device in Fastboot mode](flashofficial.md).

* Do not buy a [Chinese Version](versions.md) phone, even if it comes with the Global ROM pre-installed. Chinese Versions are made for the Chinese market and they primarily support Chinese networks so you probably won't get full network coverage in your country. Most models have Global Versions however, which support additional LTE bands, giving you better or even full network coverage. Moreover, it's not possible to boot Global MIUI on locked Chinese Versions and Global MIUI requires a locked bootloader to pass SafetyNet and get Google Play certification. Finally, Xiaomi rarely releases Global ROMs for devices only marketed in Mainland China and Chinese ROMs are difficult to set up and use outside of China, so if you want a Global ROM, wait for the [Global Version](versions.md) to come out.

There are a couple of Xiaomi devices that don't have official Global ROMs available. The best solution for these devices is installing the Xiaomi.eu ROM which is a debloated and optimised China ROM with Google Play, suitable for Western use. However, since it's a custom ROM, installing it requires an unlocked bootloader and TWRP. Unlocking the bootloader and flashing TWRP might be lengthy and annoying, so it's understandable if someone wants to keep using their device on the China ROM temporarily, or all the time because they aren't interested in flashing custom ROMs. Thankfully there are several ways to make the China ROM more pleasant to use for global users.

Starting with the Redmi Note 3 MTK, Xiaomi decided to lock its devices' bootloaders. As such, recent devices come with locked bootloaders out of the box. A locked bootloader prevents the user from flashing things in fastboot mode, including flashing custom recovery modes and custom ROMs. Fastboot mode **is** the bootloader, so if it is locked, changes to the device cannot be made in this mode.
