Once you bypass the sole prerequisite of unlocking the device’s bootloader, there stands a plentitude of tweaks to try out. From flashing a custom recovery to installing a custom ROM, the possibilities stand endless. Talking about custom ROMs, the one from Xiaomi’s EU community seems to be on every tech enthusiast list. The reason for the same is hardly a secret. With a much better optimized and lite-weight ROM, and without the incorporation of unnecessary tweaks, and a faster update cycle, it has quickly become the go-to choice for many users [Read: All Features of Xiaomi EU ROM]. If you are also among them, then you have come to the right place. In this guide, we will show you the steps to install the Xiaomi EU ROM on Mi 9/Lite/Pro/9T/9T Pro devices. Follow along.

Droidwin and its members wouldn’t be held responsible in case of a thermonuclear war, your alarm doesn’t wake you up, or if anything happens to your device and data by performing the below steps.
STEP 1: Install Android SDK
First and foremost, you will have to install the Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC. This is the official ADB and Fastboot binary provided by Google and is the only recommended one. So download it and then extract it to any convenient location on your PC. Doing so will give you the platform-tools folder, which will be used throughout this guide to flash the Xiaomi EU ROM onto your Mi 9 series device.
STEP 2: Enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking on Mi 9 Series
Next up, you will also have to enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking on your device. The former will make your device recognizable by the PC in ADB mode. This will then allow you to boot your device to Fastboot Mode. On the other hand, OEM Unlocking is required to carry out the bootloader unlocking process.
So head over to Settings > About Phone > Tap on Build Number 7 times > Go back to Settings > System > Advanced > Developer Options > Enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking.

Since this is an unofficial ROM (a custom ROM to be precise), you will need to unlock the device’s bootloader. However, doing so will wipe off all the data and could nullify the device’s warranty as well. So if that’s all well and good, then please refer to our guide on How to Unlock the Bootloader on any Xiaomi Device.
