I guess best way would be to flash Fastboot 8.1.1.0 rom via EDL mode, and a full wipe is always recommended to avoid any unforseen issues.

okay bro

bro i watched some tutorials for the fastboot method on youtube and i fund that some people have had problems with their 2nd sim cad fafter downgrading
is fastboot method safe for downgrading ?

I recently flashed global stable 8.1.10 over Chinese stable 8.1.10 on my RN3 and had no problem afterwards, but it essentially had the same firmware version. I also flashed MIUI7 on a friend's phone after MIUI8 update (he didn't like the new UI) and there was no problem with dual sim. So I guess its pretty safe. Just be sure to flash the package for your device (kate or kenzo), and you'll be good to go.
And remember to flash it using a 64 bit windows operating system, as 32 bit version may land you in some trouble.
So, happy flashing!!!!

Why are you downgrading from 8.1.6.0? It's working fine.

Instead of going through all the pain of flashing, I would recommend backup your phone and than format it once. Usually upgrading from MIUI version can cause issues. No heating and network connectivity issue here. Infact 8.1.6.0 is far better than 8.1.1.0. In case you still face issues, there's always an option to flash the old rom. Good luck.

okay will try this and check if the issue still persiss

My redmi note 3 has become unusable on account of update to 8.1.6.0 as my screen is going blank during a call. I cant disconnect my call because of that.

8.1.6.0 mhomidi
Just flashed this rom over the previous 8.0.1.0 LHOCNDG. Bricked my phone in the process. No edl. No fastboot. Pffft. All good now. Loving this rom. Games run buttery smooth.

Redmi Note 4 SD India Version Bricked after updating to MIUI9

Hi All,
So after searching all the threads and forums I have created this thread to address this issue and to get possible solutions.
I have a Redmi Note 4 - Snapdragon/Qualcomm variant 4GB/64GB version.
Bootloader Status: Unlocked.
OS Version: MIUI 8, 7.4.20 Developer Version.
So sometime back I tried to upgrade to the latest Version of MIUI9 7.9.15. When the system got updated and rebooted my phone got softbricked. SS below. I was on one of the Custom ROMs AEX and tried updating the firmware of MIUI9 and faced the same issue. However am able to come out of the brick using MiFlash tool am still not sure what's causing the issue.
NOTE: Even after reverting back I see the weird lines on screen unless I flash the previous firmware version again.
Would appreciate your thoughts and inputs. Thanks!
Images: Adding Soon!

Everything goes Haywire, I would have to flash the old Dev build through MiFlasher again and flash the TWRP .IMG file through fastboot. It such a pain good thing I have my bootloader unlocked else would be lost.

Thanks for the suggestion but like I mentioned few posts earlier I did try flashing the Stable build fastboot version - v 8.5.4.0 and the same thing happened. So got me thinking issue seems not to be confined with MIUI9 but something which am not able to figure out.

firmware?
If the recovery does the same then its not the rom as this loads before the rom

Pretty sure firmware is closely associated to Bootloader, Boot and Recovery much more than the ROM itself. Then the Signal reception, radio and stuff. But I may be wrong.

Battery Drain . 4 hr SOT for 100% charge !!!

I purchased my phone (Redmi note 7pro) only a month ago.I was on 10.3.7.0 global stable rom and phone was running smoothly. Few days back I tried to flash TWRP but I failed. My phone was bricked and I flashed fastboot rom(10.3.7.0) and phone bootup. After that I was not getting that fluidity and performance of my phone like before. Then I noticed more battery draining than usual.i thought it will be fixed in the next update. After that I received an update but it didn't fixed the issue. Still lagging in games(PUBG) , Late response in small games like Clash Royal, and a huge battery drain. And day be day it is getting worst. I can get 3-4 hrs SOT for a 100% charge.
I'm currently on latest version of MIUI.
What might be the possible reasons for the battery drain and poor performance?
What might be the possible solution?
Please help.

Wow that's a pretty much bad SOT..
If u want TWRP use Peter's (https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-7-pro/development/unofficial-twrp-3-3-1-proper-t3933531)
Now,
Did you unlock the bootloader? If u didn't ,u can't make any system level changes to the device (in this case TWRP)
Now unlock the bootloader and download MiFlash tool.
Download the required Fastboot ROM.
Click the clear_all and flash option.
This should make your device good as new.
(Unlocking the bootloader for the first time will require to wait for 15 days or so, you would also lose your data)
Yes. I unlocked the device successfully. I don't want to flash TWRP. But I just want my phone perform like before. For your information, after OTA to 10.3.10 , I did factory reset my phone. But no change. Do you think flashing the same rom can fix the problem?
I also lost my charger for around 20 days and using 5v _~ 2000mA charger.
In one of the online reviews I heard that this phone has less battery performance when dual SIM are used.

This is a battery issue in the 10.3.10 update, only way to fix this is by clearing the system, boot, data partitions and then flashing 10.3.7.0 or some other ROM
And to do this u need TWRP (Peter's)
Performing a factory reset won't help as it just sets everything back to default on 10.3.10..
They even pulled back this update and have now started rolling it back again...

so, its basically downgrading from 10.30.10 to 10.3.7 right? But what about anti role back (ARB). My phone will be heard bricked.

Recalibrate battery this will help 100% drain your battery to 0% and charged it to 100% and you could see the difference.

Yes, but once you clear all partitions and then flash, its like installing an OS on a new device..but make sure you remove the current MIUI version first...

Did you do clean install or just dirty flash
Installed and rooted via patched image a few hours ago and everything is working smoothly. The setting menu is much more streamlined and the fingerprint scanner works much better now! I haven't installed TWRP since I don't know which version works, maybe someone here can share which version works for them.

My device is still locked. So I just upgraded via the standard update mechanism.
I might do a factory reset, see if that makes a difference.

If i install this through twrp i guess i will loose magisk and root? Is it recommended to wipe data and system when coming from Miui 10?
After that i will have the standard recovery but the phone would be able to receive ota's again, am i correct?

As you are from Europe, if you bought official, it is why it is EEA, but it is also Global, sometimes updates comes more fast on EEA Global, then just on Global. It exist also Russian Global.

i am now on XEU miui 11 beta, if i want to install this EEA Stable i can just install this stable by twrp? sure i will do format data, as i do it always when installing new rom.
I try to apply this OTA update but when the phone reboots in recovery mode to apply it, the update fails at less than 1% (the phone directly reboots).
Any idea about this issue? (bootloader has been unlocked for root but I flashed by the stock recovery)
Thank you for your help!
waiting to global, maybe tomorrow
updated via OTA with Orange Fox recovery...no recovery loose.
Little Bug...screen flickerin when unlock with fingerprint but not happen when unlock with face recognition.

Global or EU?

I just bought recently MI A3 2 days ago and upon unboxing , I instantly updated it to android 10. Then I suddenly noticed on my official receipt that it is a MI A3 EU... But here is my current rom and it came from OTA. MI meaning it is global. The store is an official MI Store here in the Philippines. In the box it has EU label also next to MI A3 label. Am i global or EU? Planning to unlock and flash stock pie and relock
You are definitely in Global ROM, as the Android 10 EU ROM haven't rolled out yet. Also, there are no practical differences between one rom or another, more than EU policies and stuff like that.

Well actually just concern with warranty
Do not downgrade Android version after you successfully installed Android 10. There are user reports and also Xiaomi confirms that it makes permanent changes to some partitions and your phone won't work correctly after the downgrade.

Official warning: https://c.mi.com/thread-2918723-1-0.html
I can't find the report on mi forum, but I recall that it was non functional WiFi and maybe some other things. Most probably related to persist partition.
There is no other option how to rollback than to use Fastboot, so yes, even if you use Fastboot you're risking non functional phone.
I don't know about stock 9 rom, but after I flashed the offical Android 10 rom, I went back to miui (which is Android 9) and my phone is working perfectly fine.
