Was it possible to flash a global ROM onto Chinese version of any Mi Band? Would you guess it would happen with Mi Band 8 Pro?

It would solve two problems:

  • Chinese variant often costs half the price
  • No need to wait months to get your hands on the device

I'm not gonna risk it, since there are likely hardware differences too. October 3rd seems to be the likely global release date, so about a month away.

If I remember correctly, the Chinese version is the same thing as the later global release and it should not be necessary to flash a ROM, it should contain English right out of the box and more feature will come later with update over zepp life/whatever the app is called now
