For Those Who DOOO
Hi DODOS,
We know that, inorder to downgrade from Miui 6 to Miui 5 on Mi3W,we have to lose entire Internal SD card if we use fastboot flashing method,and hence i made this thread to help you people avoiding the loss of entire data.
Requirements:
1) Mi3W (A Dragon In Your Pocket )
2)CWM recovery (Download From Attachment)
3)Recent stable version of Miui v5 rom(Get it from the download section of official miui english website)
Procedure:
1)Backup your apps and settings since they'll be wiped.
2)Open the Updater app and select update package(i.e the downloaded CWM recovery) by browsing through your sd card.
3)Tap on reboot and enter into recovery by holding "vol+" button
4)Select your active system(choose any of the system and go to advanced menu,you can see your active system their,then change to current active system from managed system[system 1/2] )
5)wipe data/factory reset
6)wipe cache partition
7)mounts and storage>format /system(To avoid force closes of apps after rebooting)
8)advanced>wipe dalvik cache
9)install zip>choose zip from /sdcard>0/>Downloaded Stable ROM
10)reboot system now (Select ---yes-disable recovery flash and root your device if prompted)
This Worked For Me and I felt to share it with you people..Thank you.
and
THANKS to
@Ivan @huangqiwu and @Shahzad
for CWM
Let me know your response. Plz reply..

After wiping the phone, how do you restore your previous apps?

You can restore apps and app data using MIUI's backup and reset option. Few system apps may not get restored since you are downgrading,but that doesn't create an issue. I'm using most of the apps (excluding system apps) normally.

Download CM13 from herecm-13.0-20161020-UNOFFICIAL-gemini.zip
Now, Assuming you have Unlocked bootloader & TWRP 3.x installed.
1. Boot into TWRP
2. Go to Wipe section - Select Dalvic, Data, Syatem and Cache. ( If you dont care out your stuffs, select internal also)
3. Transfer the downloaded cm-13.0-20161020-UNOFFICIAL-gemini.zip to your phone. ( Your device will show up in your PC as MTP Device)
4. Goto Install Section
5. Select the cm-13.0-20161020-UNOFFICIAL-gemini.zip and Swipe to Install.
6. Wait for the installation to complete, Reboot.
7. Thats all, Done!
#If you want Google Apps also, flash Gapps from here OpenGapps *Recommended ( ARM64_6.0_Pico)
I'll try one more time thanks for replying

This is a nightly build. Just for closed Beta Team actually. It is forbidden to leak the download link
But if you want to install it, use custom recovery, such as Twrp official or unofficial. Wipe dalvik, cache, system and data..
Then flash the rom you just downloaded.
Reboot into your twrp once again. It is important to avoid bootlooping. And go to advance > disable dm-verify or flash lazy flasher > reboot into system.
Done.

Oh ,yes.I mistakenly wiped system.
hi i tryed to convert my redmi note 4x to global when flashing with mi flash tool i did it without clean and after that firmware finish installing but got stuck in bootloop now i flashed twrp and tryed to flash custom rom but again bootloop when i check my storage it shows 9gb now when its actual is 32gb i think i disturbed partitions any solution available?
Are you able to boot into TWRP?? If not flash TWRP first using fastboot.
Once you have access to TWRP boot into it and perform a full wipe (System + Data + Cache + Dalvik + Internal Storage). Perform a format too after wipe to be on the safer side. Now copy a custom ROM or MIUI ROM to your Internal Storage or SD card through a computer. Once copied install your ROM.
If you flashed custom ROM flash Gapps after flashing ROM. Reboot.
If you flashed MIUI, flash lazyflasher after that(or phone will be stuck at MI logo). Reboot.
You can find download links for lazyflasher here on XDA or you can google it too.

@ArK96 is right but the only thing i suggest is to, flash miui and lazyflasher first so as to properly set up the initial firmware, and partitioning. After miui boots properly, you can do anything you want. :highfive:

Go here and download the Global Stable worldwide release version firmware.
Boot into twrp wipe and format everything. Also after that reflash TWRP again using fastboot.
Once reflashed boot into TWRP and again perform a full wipe and format, then install the downloaded firmware zip. After that reboot TWRP and try flashing MIUI.

Yes. Red wolf is more MIUI friendly, it is made with OTA survival in mind. But your issue is that the ROM is not getting flashed. You can try what I said above about TWRP reflash, if it doesn't work you can go ahead and try redwolf. REDWOLF is nothing but modded TWRP, base code is still TWRP.

Remove your password pin pattern then wipe data system cache if you don't clean flash then you will get alot of force crashes. You can dirty flash on top of the same rom though if it's just a incremental update.
1. Remove pattern and pin. If you don't do this step then you will have to factory reset your phone with stock MIUI.
2. Wipe all except internal storage and external storage.
3. Flash vendor and rom.
4. Flash disableforceencryption with magisk 18.0.
5. Flash your twrp again so it isn't replaced by stock.

hey bro
search for MULTIROM thread
you can flash multiple roms and your primary one won't be touched or affected as long as you follow the instructions.
for me ,i always use one of miui roms as a primary ( some bugs occur if miui used as secondary )
& AOSip/ pixel experience/ ..... as secondary roms.. add as much as you want.
learn the procedure carefully then you are ready to go.

No, you are right. Only OEM ROMs which have recovery built in will replace TWRP. None of the custom ROMs to my knowledge have recovery built in. So no need to flash TWRP again unless you are flashing OEM ROMs.
Even when flashing OEM ROMs, if you flash Magisk immediately after the ROM before booting, TWRP will remain.

Not fw you'll have to flash the whole rom.
You can flash any Android 10 MIUI ROM (Except Elite) . I used MIUI pulse in my case.
