Over the past month, although I haven't been able to post to XDA, I've gotten a lot of interesting information which I think can be discussed here. I'd also like to report the results of some experiments.
1. Flashing P10 firmware to the Mate 9
Surprisingly, it is possible to flash P10 firmware to the Mate 9, and it boots. A Mate 9 can even be rebranded as a P10. Unfortunately, there is something different about the Wifi driver, and Wifi does not work. It seems the mobile radios, bluetooth, etc. do work, though. I wasn't able to test this very thoroughly, and I don't recommend anyone else does, as it's impossible to recover it even with offline firmware, but it would be possible in the future for someone to build a ROM based on P10 firmware, I'm pretty sure.
2. Android O
Huawei has an internal Android O build for the Mate 9. This build comes pre-rooted for Huawei's internal development use, which opens up the option of rebranding without ever unlocking the bootloader, and doing other such tricks. Apart from looking at it and seeing the Android O features, the build is pretty useless as a daily driver. Things like the play store can't be installed easily. The recovery which comes with the build has broken Wifi, and I needed to use a HiSuite exploit to get it to restore to previous versions.
With both of the above mentioned firmwares, the recovery system is different. The TWRP which we currently have for the Mate 9 does not work. Rebuilding the recovery image with the tools available also does not work. Something's different about the way the recovery image is made, but I can't figure out what it is. So it's not possible to have TWRP yet in either of these environments, which makes them much less useful.
Even more interestingly, the P10 recovery images which do not work when flashed to a Mate 9 running EMUI 7.0, do work if the Mate 9 is running Android O build, or if it's running the P10 roms.
It's very easy to tell which environment it's in, as the EMUI 5.0 Recovery has a light blue theme, while the Android O / P10 builds, and so on have a dark blue theme.
It should also be possible to flash Mate 9 ROMs on the P10, which would let P10 users access TWRP (but they would lose Wifi in eRecovery, making it very, very hard to revert to P10 ROM)
--What from here?--
Eventually, these updates will be released for the Mate 9, and we'll need to rebuild TWRP. A nice side effect is, if we build a working TWRP for the P10, it will also work with future Mate 9 builds. I'm hoping that the next internal EMUI 5.1/Android O build will have Wifi working in eRecovery to make it possible to do more research on this with an easier recovery method.
For the sake of research, I will upload and link to the recovery img from the Android O build. Feel free to poke around with it! Note that just flashing this to your Mate 9 running EMUI 5.0, it will not work. Hopefully TWRP based off of this can be made. I've tried and have not been successful building something which will boot, despite it being easy for EMUI 5.0-based recovery.

Hey buddy, welcome back. :good:
Sent from my MHA-L29 using XDA Labs
That's good news. Let's see what our great minds can do with this.
I am glad to see you here @duraraa.
All the best,

The only thing I noticed was a new files app, and some new developer options. I'm pretty sure it's just targeted for Android O development, and not for bringing any new features. It's missing all languages except Chinese and English, for example, it's missing a System Update app, eRecovery doesn't work, very incomplete.
Still, interesting, and I'm not an expert with what's new with Android to the point where I know what to look for, so if there's something I should be looking for, let me know.

Can you look for Android O specific features to see if they work, such as Picture in Picture? If you know how to use ADB, enter an ADB shell, then open up the YouTube app and start a video.
While the video is paused type:
input keyevent 171
This would be definitive proof that this is indeed Android O. We can try other stuff too.
Any built in apps from P10 that can be installed on the Mate 9? Is there an apk list?
I seemed to remember reading in reviews of the P10 that the camera hardware is the same as our Mate 9/pro, but with upgraded software. Is this something you can verify based on the firmwares you have? When can we Mate 9 users expect this upgrade?
Cheers!

Sorry, can't verify one way or the other. Although I did get P10 software running on the Mate 9, I didn't get the Camera app.
glad to see you here
ive also found that TWRP breaks the phone when you try to recover some partitions (/product i think)
hopefully things can change in the future, the partitions are a pain in the rear to play with
ive also read huawei wont name emui 5.1 on the mate 9 but will have the exact same features when upgraded (and will have the same 5.0 version)
Would you be able to share more screenshots of what you found?

I finally got a chance to try this. It worked.
Judging by your screenshot, you also got the Play Store and Wifi working, correct?

Wifi always worked on Android O, since it's for the Mate 9. It doesn't work when running P10, P10 Plus, or other newer EMUI 5.1 phones' builds on the Mate 9. The issue seems to be the kernel.
I sideloaded google services and managed to get play store working, yes.
Many are doubting that this is actually Android O. Can you show a screen recording of picture-in-picture mode being started from the YouTube app?
1) Start a screen recording
2) Open up YouTube
3) Start a video
4) Send the input keyevent 171 ADB command
5) End recording
That should put any doubt to rest.

Perhaps next time I install it, I will. The picture in the previous post is the result of sending keyevent 171 ADB command while running a youtube video. The video continues to run regardless of what you do with the phone, but I couldn't find a way to close it.
Who, exactly, is doubting that it's Android O?
I bought for my wife from Geekbuying, it has multi language, but looks like Chinese firmware, and no Google anything. Other website selling the same phone with International firmware and with Google services.
I hope an OTA, or a custom rom for this soon. Or someone can point me out to where that International firmware is.
Thanks,
Gran

Your rom is multilanguage as every other rom. Sadly Google play isn't working on any of that. There is no international firmware at the moment. The advertisings on the shops are false.
Hello
There is no international firmware for the Z17.
The vendors are putting custom ROMS with multilanguage with or without google services but they have a great inconvenience, you will not be able to receive updates by OTA.

Very disappointing. Such a great looking phone, and specs. Premium feel, way better looking than my Oneplus 5, and water resistant, nicer camera (although video at night time shooting was better with my Oneplus 5). It's nice to have both phone in hands and compare, fortunately for me I have no Jelly issue with the 5. Right now I have downloaded apk of certain droid apps she wants. I can't install Youtube with no Google, so I installed Opera browser and have her access Youtube that way.
Hoping the Nubia people will release Global/International ROM/Firmware soon, or some very capable XDA members here make a custom rom.
Nubia Z17 bought in Aliexpress, unofficial ROM, is a custom ROM with Google services and google store installed. Fake! Impossible to upgrade to not being the official ROM of Nubia. Open dispute in Aliexpress, I ordered with the original Chinese firmware and the seller stated that it would be so. Lie.

Hi, what's fake? Them mentioning that it comes with Google services pre-installed and functioning or that you'll not be able to do OTAs latter, since it's a custom ROM.
IMO it's more important to have a functioning Google framework for the time being, until an International/Global ROM is officially released. In a near future, I guess it will be possible to unlock easily the bootloader and install from the recovery whatever ROM you want, Global or, hopefully, mainstream custom ROMs from the wonderful developers here in xda.
Exactly, custom ROM, it is not possible to upgrade to the latest firmware that Nubia took out. For me Google services are not indispensable. When I buy an original Chinese mobile, I always ask that the ROM be the Chinese (Meizu, Xiaomi ...) Problem: System update does not appear, does not support SD, does not recognize OTG. That is, I have a good mobile full of bugs (wifi, button back, battery, performance that improves the first OTA) and for now with no possibility to install its original firmware. Disappointed.

Hi,
I do not understand...
When I bought the phone (~= 15 or 20 days ago), it was clearly mentioned ( the text was at the beginning the of detailed specifications) on the GeekBuying web page the Gaps are not available.
I'd a look today (that night ), this text is removed.
I suppose there is a new release ?
I sent an email to GeekBuying to have more information.
Best regards (from France)
There is NO official International Firmware for the Z17. The Z17 ist not meant to be sold outside China (any may never be). There ARE alot custom firmwares with GAPPS like Gearbest is selling.
You wan't to have smartphone, where everything is working out of the box? Don't buy a Z17, buy a Z11 or someother.

I've bought many phone from China which are not selling here (Europe), Jiayu, Cubot, etc. And they work.
I think you like give lessons and there is no debate on that point.

Could you do a bit of a comparison review of your OnePlus and Z17?
I'm tossing up between Z17, Z17s & OnePlus 5 and would really appreciate your input on the differences between them since you own both models!
Hi Bunta126, have a look to the ROMS. If Oneplus has an international one, take it. For now, no international ROM for the Z17.

Latest version for Mi Pad 2 can be downloaded from here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=213123 (MIUI 9) for global* version or from MIUI http://en.miui.com/download-296.html (MIUI 8) for Chinese version.
*Mi pad 2 doesn't really have global version, .EU version comes with pre-installed google services and removed Chinese bloatware.
This is a bad news for Mi Pad 2 owners because they do not have any solid custom ROM support for their device, which is due to lack of propitiatory Intel Atom's source code. So even if developers tried hard to deliver custom ROM they simply cannot. So unlike Mi Pad 1 even if Xiaomi EoL'd the support in a similar way last week, they can still get custom ROMs and patch support as long as developers delivers them. But for Mi Pad 2 it is simply not possible.
Yes, we do. Thanks to livedten and multirom.me. I'm getting tired of redirecting people (https://multirom.me/read.php?tid=445&fid=54).
Livedten has done very well with his MIRU Mod. I suggest everyone who owns a Mi Pad 2 to flash the MIUI firmware and MIRU mod from Multirom.me
The reason why Xiaomi.eu has dropped support for Mi tablets can be found here "Sorry guys, we have no more free time to take care of tablets and debug them.. " (https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/is-the-mi-pad-3-is-still-being-updated.41551/#post-386099).
Furthermore, if you paid attention to what @tank0412 wrote, you would know that Lenovo has a Nougat update scheduled and that opens the door for Android N development for the Atom series. Lastly, if you really want Mi Pad 2 development, I suggest you donate a Mi Pad 2 to @KonstaT over at Modaco (http://www.modaco.com/forums/forum/445-other-devices/) - he's the brain behind all Atom custom rom development.

If you understand how to use a translator, you'll navigate just fine. Follow the instructions in the link provided.
Just like Xiaomi.eu, OTA updates aren't supported, but I never had a dirty flash gone sour from neither Xiaomi.eu or Multirom.me. That is, of course, if you follow the instructions properly. Meaning firmware version must match MIRU Mod version in order for both to work. Livedten hasn't updated MIRU Mod since 3/9-2017, so currently the two don't match. I'm sure it'll only be a matter of time before the two are aligned again and we can enjoy MIUI 9 development on Mi Pad 2.
Please provide an official link stating that MIUI 9 development has been suspended. Either way, I'm very satisfied with the performance of my Mi Pad 2 using MIRU mod. Though I am curious to see, if Lenovo releases an Android N update as scheduled and if that could potentially help spark the development of custom roms and sort some of the current issues

.EU rom is far better than Chinese ROM. I haven't tried Russian roms because I cannot read it and google doesn't do justice on translation. I got to the yandex link, but there are so many stuffs in there. Like what do I install? If you look at the OP, I have linked the latest link for .EU ROM, which Is what I am using now. It surely is faster than MIUI 8. But sadly it has been EoL'd as you can see. They are not going to maintain it any longer.
And officially they have said MIUI 9 will be last MIUI update for MiPad2, somewhere. Cant find link, look it for yourself.

I asked you for a link, because I couldn't find any information confirming Xiaomi will stop releasing more updates for Mi Pad 2. Spreading fake news is never good. Mi Pad 2 hasn't been EOL'd. Only by Xiaomi.eu, but not by others.
Livedten actually points out that it doesn't matter if you use Xiaomi.eu, Multirom.me, etc. MIRU mod should be compatible with all of them.
multirom_MIPAD2_7.9.14_v5.1_b10.zip can be found here https://multirom.me/index.php?m=app&a=view&id=11&app=roms
A MIRU Mod version that matches 7.9.14_v5.1_b10 hasn't been uploaded, so you'll have to install MIRU Mod.

Make a backup first. Just in case. As can be read in the 'ИЗМЕНЕНИЯ_MIRU_universal.docx' document
"Mod (and its idea) is completely reassembled, should work on any firmware , multirom . me , xiaomi . eu , miui . su , en . miui . com ... and so on. in any case, the key operating time is on the firmware from the multirom . me ." This excerpt was translated using Google Translate.

Probably, yeah. But beware, you might have to download the firmware zip many times, if you decide to use the MIUI 9 firmware from multirom.me, always run 'test archive' with e.g. 7zip. If no errors show, you're ready to flash, if errors show, you have to re-download. I think it's because of a server issue. I use Ninja Download Manager to succesfully download the .zip. MIRU mod downloads perfectly, since it's hosted elsewhere.
After a few tests I managed to flash MIUI9 with MIRU Mod. You must flash both multirom_MIPAD2_7.9.14_v5.1_b10.zip + MIRU_mod_16.09.2017_для_MIPAD2_UNIVERSAL.zip at the same time in order to get it to work.
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634797955
is there any working download link for the latest multirom and miru mod package?
cant find it anywhere anymore.
i found a yandex folder "MIUI_9_BACKUP" containing:
MI_mod_08.02.2018_для_MIPAD2_UNIVERSAL.zip with 144.2MB
MIRU_mod_16.09.2017_для_MIPAD2_UNIVERSAL.zip with 336.2MB
But without any instructions or anything and dont know what to do with it
So... I had the Mi pad 2 laying in my house running on MIUI 9 and one day I got curious and tried to unlock its bootloader.
I didn't remember my password and the recovery phone no. is discontinued now. and I couldn't change it or sign out.
So like an idiot, I factory reset it. And now it's asking for a password for the last mi id.
can anyone help me? Will and edl flash do the work?
THANKS

Now some words from me,
Hi I am Omer, I own a Mi Max 3 and Huawei Mate 20 X.
today I ordered a Redmi K30 Pro Zoom Edition and therefore I am going to be a part of this community.
I am going to update this thread with any upcoming update, just like I did for Mi Max 3 thread.
I am also going to buy a Black Shark 3 Pro for daily use but that phone cant be unlocked.
I hope you enjoy your phones!
if you have any questions feel free to ask!
by the way:
In order to improve the communication performance and stability of the mobile phone, will be upgraded the Qualcomm baseline - Redmi K30 Pro will be suspended from May 25. It is expected to be suspended for about three weeks. This upgrade does not affect the stable version.
Great job!!!
Thanks for doing this like it should be done. I tried but my tutorial is **** compared to this. Cheers ?
Okay, my Bootloader is unlocked and i did the install the current (may 24th) beta version of the xiaomi.eu ROM.
The installation was a bit rough around the edges: The currently available TWRP comes from a chinese developer and starts with chinese language. You can't read a thing.
Fortunately, i have used twrp so often already that i remembered how to change the language without having to read the buttons.
Having installed TWRP via fastboot, i booted into it, changed language and formatted the data partition under "Wipe". Then i connected my pc, transferred the ROM file to the phone and installed it.
I was a bit disappointed that my dear F2 changed it's personality immediately: it identified as Redmi K30 Pro from the first boot on. I know this "problem" from my Mi 9T Pro where the xiaomi.eu ROM changes its name to Redmi K20 Pro, but there was a patch in xiaomi.eu's K20 Pro forum that reversed this effect when flashed via TWRP. This kind of patch does not exist for the Poco F2 as of now, so i guess i'll have to live with it.
Other than that, all seem to run well. First boot took a couple of minutes, but Installation went smoothly and phone is restoring my configuration and installing all my apps right now.
Magisk 20.4 is installed and working. Let's hope that new beta versions will appear next week.

Im pretty sure this is because they are based on the china rom which is available for the redmi k30 pro/zoom
If xiaomi can differentiate between zoom and regular editions on kernel level (they share same kernel and same rom), Im sure that xiaomi.eu forums will be able to create a patch for poco if needed.

Hello mate, i was trying to install it to my f2pro and it all ended in bootloop, it is mandatory to wipe the data partition before installing the rom? Is there any tutorial? I tried to install it twice ending in bootloop and having to install the official rom with the xiaomi rom tool.
Thanks!

Hello there,
In the installation instructions it says what to wipe and what you shouldn't wipe. I think you need to go back to stock and try again.
Cheers ?
Wow thanks for this! Need to wait for a week for Xiaomi to unlock my device (such a bummer as Oneplus don't have this waiting game). Any how, I hope (like it's brother K20 Pro/Premium), there will be AOSP, Lineage and PA flavored roms that will support our beloved Redmi K30 Pro/Zoom/Poco F2 Pro.
Thanks for your efforts on making this thread!
Great to see the development for his device has started .
Does the MIUI Dialer also have the build-in call recorder?

In my experience (also from my Mi 9T Pro before), you not only need to wipe the data partition, you even need to format it (can be found under "Wipe" in TWRP) when coming from stock rom to xiaomi.eu for the first time.
Once on xiaomi.eu ROM, you can install newer versions by dirty flashing: no need to wipe your data partition, your apps, data and settings survive.

Thanks for confirming. I can finally unlock my bootloader today (had a waiting period of 360 hours..), guess I'll flash this rom directly after that since my device will be wiped with unlocking now anyway.
Did you use the TWRP from this tread?

I'm not sure from which source i downloaded it, since it was some days before my bootloader unlock time ran out, but the file is named "recovery-TWRP-3.4.1B-0328-REDMI_K30PRO-CN-wzsx150.img"
At the moment, this seems to be only working TWRP for the Poco F2. Since it comes from a chinese developer, you have to change the language to English first, unless your fluent reading chinese.
To do that, you have to pull the slider on the bottom of the start screen to the right, then use the third button from the top in the second column of buttons (which is the "Settings" button) and then use the small globe symbol in the upper right of the screen.
Hi all, i want to report one bug:
Whenever enter to a game with full screen mode and play it for a while, the full screen gesture can not be use any more. So i have to press power button to lock my phone(game is running) then unlock the phone to come to the game. Here i can use the gesture as normal.
Yep

i read on the xiaomi eu forum that on one of the weekly roms, the mic was not working on calls https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/no-voice-during-the-call.56159/ . Can you check if the mic works if you call somebody? I am just waiting for my unlock timer to end and want to install xiaomi eu.
As im writing this, the new xiaomi eu stable miui 12 came out, just for your information. The problem with the mic was on miui 12 so i hope they included a fix for the stable version before rolling it out.
Unfortunately, the stable MIUI 12 is not yet for us. Just for MI10, MI10Pro, HMK20MI9T, HMK305G.
No beta
No beta for this week either, links for the 20.6.16 were published and there is nothing for the K30 Pro neither the Mi10 nor Mi 10 Pro
EDIT1: Thanks to Telegram users @Andrea900 and @valentinosantos I was able to fix a few incorrect indications I gave. If anyone has suggestions please don't hesitate to comment or message me.
POCO F2 Pro and Redmi K30 Pro have a lot in common - so much, that they are exactly the same phone. The K30 Pro, however, was launched together with a Zoom edition, with improved camera hardware. Now: is it possible to get that hardware on the POCO F2 Pro, and make a homemade "zoom edition" out of it?
The question is fascinating, and the answer is: yes! With few exceptions, it is possible, and the result is great!
I'm about to guide you through the process, but first let me say a word about myself.
I'm very new to XDA, and I essentially subscribed to participate in a thread that was discussing just the topic of this guide. The information was confused, and since I'm inexperienced I felt very lost. But I was determined, and worked my way into this hardware and software stuff that I never handled before. Now, I'm ready to try and tell others what I did, and how you can do it yourself.
Here's all you need to know in order to change POCO F2 Pro's cameras to Redmi K30 Pro Zoom's. Please bear in mind that almost nothing is originally mine: I'm just collecting info and commenting it with my personal notes. I'll give all the credit to who owns it every time is possible.
PREMISE
First and foremost, you must check the lot your product comes from. I haven't tested it and I haven't many sources on this, but chances are that if it's too recent it might not have some of the parts needed on the motherboard to implement OIS. If so, you'll need to solder those components, which is something I will not go through in this guide. Keep in mind that the production was ended in Sept 2020, so if your phone has been produced in August or Seprember you may have this problem. You can verify the batch through your IMEI - google is your best friend here.
Once you're sure your phone will be compatible with the mod, you need to have the cameras. You may find some on eBay or on AliExpress: I bought them from an eBay reseller. Once you get them, in order to verify that they are indeed those of the K30 pro zoom, you can very easily check for OIS on the main and on the 3x lenses.
Now, before putting the new hardware on the phone, you need to go through a bunch of software passages. The reason is very simple: when you mount the K30 Pro Zoom's cameras on the POCO F2 Pro, it will recognise itself as the former. This implies some limits:
unlocking the bootloader won't be possible anymore (unless you get back to F2 pro's cameras)
EDIT: I've been told that some were able to do it, but info is not super clear on this;
SafetyNet won't pass and you won't be able to use any banking app, Google Pay included.
EDITED: It has been confirmed by many that the reception of 4G/5G bands does not change with the swap, whichI initially believed it did. No worries there then!
For some banking apps, passing SafetyNet does not suffice however: you need to have phone recognised as European. I have no clue why, but my bank is one of them. For this reason, I'll also guide you through the process of changing the fingerprint of your phone back to that of POCO F2 Pro, which is only possible if you have done all the rooting and modding stuff before changing the hardware. Keep in mind that you might not need it!
In the following you may find a complete guide: keep in mind that if you're experienced you may find many things redundant. I'm inexperienced, so I noted them down anyway.
THE SOFTWARE PART
This part guides you if you, like me at the time, are starting from original MIUI Global (or any MIUI that is not China). If you are already mounting MIUI China, you can skip step 4, but the process is still the same.
However, if you have already an unlocked bootloader and you are mounting a custom rom (such as Xiaomi.eu o MIUImix et cetera) you can skip to step 7. But if that's the case, this guide isn't really for you mate: you are good to go! Make the hardware swap without worries
Backup through Google One and by copying pics and videos on the PC. Barbaric, but efficient. Just copy it back to the phone later. Remember Whatsapp's backup if you use it. Also, use Xiaomi Cloud if you intend to stay on a MIUI based ROM (as this guide will invite you to do).
Begin Unlocking Bootloader process. It takes 7 days so do it as soon as possible, don't wait to have the cameras with you. The process is very easy and you may find many guides, but I've followed this:
The tutorial omits one last passage: once you've unlocked your bootloader with the tool, you'll have to restart your phone and do a set up, in order to unlock (again) the developer options and the USB debugging. The first time you start up your unlocked device, you'll be asked to log in to your Mi Account as the very first thing, so keep in mind its password and email.
Install ADB and Fastboot tools on your computer. It's basic but you need them. I've used this guide:
Flash the China ROM through fastboot. [EDIT: I've been reported that this might not be needed. It was for me: flashing xiaomi.eu from Global sent my phone in bootloop. Refer to your custom ROM of choice for official info on this - and xioami.eu does say that flashing from China ROM is preferable] I suggest you follow this guide as it's explained well enough. I DO NOT recommend going through TWRP as it bricked my phone, and TWRP in general gave me lots of issues. Guide:
Flash Xiaomi.eu through the process they suggest. Remember: use the one they give you, do not go through recovery, as again recovery bricked my phone and many others as far as I know. If you want to go through recovery, use LineageOS recovery (see point 6). Guide:
[GUIDE] How to install Xiaomi.eu ROM for Redmi K30 / K30 5G
How to install Xiaomi.eu ROM for Redmi K30 / 5G This guide is only for ROM released before 10th February as before this date, was TWRP not available! Xiaomi.eu ROMs are now installed via TWRP as usually.. Due to TWRP issues for native Android 10 devices we have developed installation of our...
xiaomi.eu
Install a custom recovery. This is not something you need now, but rather something that may help with keeping Xiaomi.eu up to date (as it's easier to flash updates through recovery). I suggest you use LineageOS Recovery. You can find the recovery itself and a guide to install it here:
Redirecting…
--> Step 7 and 8 will guide you through the process of passing SaetyNet. This might not be necessary, because xiaomi.eu theorically should grant you pass it automatically: I personally needed to do what follows. Even if you pass SafetyNet, sometimes banking apps still won't work. If so, go ahead with these steps.
The first thing to do will be to install Magisk and use it to root your phone. I suggest you DO NOT FLASH IT as a .zip, but rather use the process that the developer suggests. To me, the only version of Magisk that worked was Canary, but others have had success with the regular release. The different releases are the same thing, just in different stages of development: canary is the "alpha", more or less. You can find very thorough instructions here:
GitHub - topjohnwu/Magisk: The Magic Mask for Android
The Magic Mask for Android. Contribute to topjohnwu/Magisk development by creating an account on GitHub.
github.com
The installation instructions are found by scrolling down; the latest releases are on the right.
Once Magisk is successfully installed, you can use it to fix your SafetyNet stuff. In order to do so, you'll need to do 3 (or 4!) things.
go to settings and hide the app
go to settings and activate zygisk, then activate "enforce denylist", and in the denylist add:
Google Play Services (you'll have to make them appear by clickinG on the three dots on the top right and selecting "show system") --> snet --> check the mark
Banking apps (if you have any) --> check the mark
download the Magisk Module "Universal SafetyNet Fix" and simply install it. Follow the link here to get the file and more info:
GitHub - kdrag0n/safetynet-fix: Google SafetyNet attestation workarounds for Magisk
Google SafetyNet attestation workarounds for Magisk - GitHub - kdrag0n/safetynet-fix: Google SafetyNet attestation workarounds for Magisk
github.com
ONLY IF YOUR BANKING APPS STILL DON'T WORK
download the Magisk Module "MagiskHide Props Config" and use it to change the fingerprint and the BASIC Key attestation of the phone to POCO F2 Pro Global (A11). You can get the Module from here:
GitHub - Magisk-Modules-Repo/MagiskHidePropsConf: This tool is now dead...

And you can follow either the instructions given by this post:
[GUIDE][POCO F2 Pro] How to pass SafetyNet on Android 11 and Magisk on Xiaomi.eu ROM
1. Install the latest weekly or global firmware in twrp. (without magisk) 2. reboot. 3. complete the first setup. 4. reboot to recovery. 5. install latest magisk canary (now the latest stable version is v20.4, but need higher) 6. reboot. 7...
forum.xda-developers.com
or you can follow this guide, which contains one difference (it's explained as to change the fingerprint to Pixel 3a) and which also includes the next passage (the 8.4 in this guide I'm writing):
How to Pass Magisk SafetyNet on Rooted Android 11
In this tutorial, we will show you how to pass the Magisk SafetyNet test on your rooted Android 11 device with Hardware attestation type.
www.droidwin.com
If you were able to install a regular Magisk version, enter the app and verify SafetyNet; if you've installed Magisk Canary, simply go to Play Store and install a Safetynet Checker: you should pass the test, and your banking apps should work regularly.
THE HARDWARE PART
Do the hardware swap! I've used this teardown video to help me go through it:
Beware of two things that frightened me:
Both the motherboard cover and the motherboard should come out very easily. If you have to force it the slightest, check for screws you've missed! One is under an orange "mi" sticker, for example, one one is a weird "screw in the screw" of silver-ish colour
You must have both the motherboard and the motherboard cover screwed in in order for the phone to turn on. You can't just plug in the connectors and make a rapid check: you must screw everything together
EDIT: some have asked if the plastic caps have to be left on the module, and my take is they don't. They do offer protection but it's mostly for transport: once inside the phone, the lens are pretty much protected by the back glass. Plus my plastic caps came in scratched so leaving them on would have been stupid. They are quite well glued tho! So don't worry if you have to apply force to remove them.
EPILOGUE
I hope you've found this useful. Please let me know if any passage might benefit of further clarification. I know this is somewhat "rough" (there are plenty better guides on XDA) but I think I didn't miss any fundamental passage.

Hi! I bricked my phone and it went into bootloop. Plus xiaomi.eu explicitly states on their website that the ROM is made to be installed from China so it's really best to just follow the instructions of the developer

I don't think you really need to flash xiaomi.eu. Any rom that supports lmipro should suffice. I will try LineageOS when I received my hardware.

Xiaomi.eu is the one I suggest but yeah different roms have been tried out and work just fine
Just a quick PSA >>>
I was one of those 'early adopters' of the cam module switch, purely relying on comments in russian in Aliexpress. As such, I switched the module before unlocking the bootloader, resulting in mismatched specs, causing the dreaded 'Coudn't add. Device basic data verification failed' when trying to add the device to my account. A few weeks ago while waiting for the MIUI 13 update (& on the latest Poco F2 Pro 12.5 stock EU Rom), I installed the MIUI Downloader & downloaded the following ROM for K30 Pro / Zoom devices.
I installed the rom using the following steps
Transfer the download .zip file to your phone, and ensure you place the file in the “downloaded_rom” folder in the internal storage of your device. If no such folder exists, create one in your internal storage base directory.
On your phone, navigate to Settings > About Phone > System Update, and then press the three-dot icon in the top-right corner, and select “Choose Update Package”. If the “Choose Update Package” is not visible, you need to tap on the MIUI version logo 7-10 times.
If the “Choose Update Package” option is missing, tap on the MIUI logo 10 times to activate the option.

The phone booted normally on MIUI 13 & just for the sake of it I added my MIUI account & attempted to add the device to my account. Miraculously it worked! By following the steps mentioned in the OP (big thanks @CMCarlo ) I just made my first payment w/ Google Pay since about this time last year. Hope it helps
Peace
With MIUI by xiaomi.eu 13.0.2 it's work well.
Poco f2 pro change to k30 pro zoom edition After change hardware cam.
Thanks you

I don't think you really need to flash xiaomi.eu. Any rom that supports lmipro should suffice.

Is it possible to keep stock miui after this camera upgrade?

I'm on Global ROM an tried several others without any issue, so I think you can stay on stock ROM

Keep in mind that the production was ended in Sept 2020, so if your phone has been produced in August or Seprember you may have this problem. You can verify the batch through your IMEI - google is your best friend here.

I missed this information prior to purchasing the K30 pro zoom module, which I now have. I've also waited the 7 days to be allowed to unlock the bootloader. My question is, how does one determine their batch number or production date from an IMEI number? I've googled but haven't had any luck figuring this out.

Is your bootloader locked for gpay to work? Did you need to root and apply the various fixes mentioned in the OP?

The bootloader has to be unlocked to flash the rom. Xiaomi.eu passes safety net & the device appears to be certified in Play even without rooting the device. Having said that, I did proceed with rooting the device because there were a couple of apps the required it, but I can't say that Wallet was one of them. Theoretically, if the device is certified in Google Play, you shouldn't need root for that.

Thanks for that. I have no interest in the xiaomi.eu rom and want to stay with official ROMs (eg K30 Pro Zoom - Global Stable ROM). Do you know if this would actually be possible though? I asked earlier and heard it is, but not sure on the path to get there from the latest Poco F2 Pro Global Stable ROM. I'm yet to swap my camera and have noticed since unlocking the bootloader, my gpay via NFC no longer works. If I manage to flash the global stable K30 pro zoom ROM, would locking the bootloader perhaps allow the device to pass whatever checks necessary for gpay, or would doing so cause bootloops?

I'm not really sure, but I guess you could stick to the first steps of the OP tutorial. That is, unlock bootloader & then flash the latest chinese ROM for the K30PZ. You might or might not need rooting for GPay to work, depending on whether your device appears to be certified in GPlay. Keep in mind that you might also run into issues with DRM in specific apps, like Netflix (L1 winevine) or problems with banking apps. Generally speaking, the most troublesome part of switching cam modules is being able to unlock the bootloader. Once that's done, there are many options to choose from, although I'm not sure what's the best approach if you wanna stick to stock ROMs. Btw, xiaomi.eu is basically a stock ROM, simply optimized & overall better performing. As always, proceed with caution & please don't blame me if you brick your device..

Thanks. Hopefully bricking isn't an option for me. My biggest worry about the hardware procedure is breaking a motherboard ribbon or stuffing up the glueing when sealing the case closed. I'm actually quite worried about it. How difficult did you find it?

It's definitely not for the faint hearted, but it's not very difficult either. You need the right tools though, gun heater, tweezers etc. I admit that I did it with a friend's help, but it can be done alone too, just be careful and don't force anything. The brackets holding the module are tricky, keep that in mind. If you haven't changed thar hw yet, I would definitely suggest unlocking the bootloader first.
If anybody thinking about changing the cameras, here's a link. Arrived yesterday, already changed. The phone specs says my f2 pro is now a k30 pro zoom edition, macro option gone as i expected.

Thanks ! I ordered one for myself, let's see when it arrives.
Planning to replace battery at the same time and make my backcover transparent.
Also not sure about which ROM to use, currently on global MIUI with locked bootloader, don't feel like using xiaomi.eu since the security patch is outdated ( global just got an update )
Probably I will have to use a non MIUI rom since Xiaomi is abandoning this phone but I need a super stable and reliable one
