Redmi Note 7 Pro - Global Rom

Hi,

I bought this Redmi note 7 pro that came with China Rom and it cannot use whatsapp, Can I replace the rom with Global Rom?

there is no global rom. since the rn7p is china and india exclusive, u only have a choice between those 2 regional variants, and you must unlock your bootloader to flash indian rom on china set, if not will hard brick. indian rom is closer to global than china rom, but u might get a lot of ads and bloatware, and unlocked bl will break safetynet, so apps like banking apps, pokemon go or snapchat may no longer work. otherwise, you could opt to flash xiaomi.eu or other custom roms.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

The whatsapp issue (cannot use) is caused by China Rom? When I input my phone no, no code was sent.

doesn't sound like china rom issue. you sure you connected to internet, plus sim card working properly?

anyway don't bother setting up stuff on china rom. for one, whatsapp message notifications may not come in on time as whatsapp relies on google firebase service for push notifications, which china rom does not have. in fact very hard to use china rom outside of china, since many of the services we take for granted like finding apps on google play or maps all rely on google services, which again, isn't on china set and I think very lechey to set up. if you don't know how to flash roms, buying china set would be a mistake, otherwise you have learn how to flash custom roms and be very careful about it.
