Download the desired version of miui and flash it using recovery.

Can I downgrade to official MIUI 8 with Mi flash tool and fastboot ROM and locked bootloader?

Simply download the desired rom and rename it with update.zip and then go in the updater app their click the update package and it will be installed

I did it, thanks!

You cannot downgrade a rom using updater.... to do so you need to follow fastboot method which requires unlocked bootloader and it wipes all your data...thank you

@chvakhil SD variant doesn't need unlocked bootloader. Only thing you need to do is to use EDL and you can flash fastboot rom with lbl.

Sry to mention about that ..I am not using an SD variant..thank you @edi194

Thats simply not true, procedure is to download recovery ROM and rename it to update.zip and put it to root of your phone and start update from your phone updater app. It will clean all of the data from your phone though but if you make a backup on mi cloud all would be as before.

Yeah true i did it. And it works simply rename it and flash through your updater app

download official fastboot rom from en.miui.com,and use mi flash to flash the latest MIUI8 ROM.Remember you'd better wipe all data(1.back up all of your data;2.you can chose wipe all&lock your device if you want.).

Revert to Miui 8 from Cm14.1

Hello ppl,
I have unlocked the bootloader of my RN3 snapdragon version officially and i flashed the offical twrp on my phone.
Then i did a complete backup of the rom and then installed CM 14.1 (Santosh's build)
When i installed the rom,it relocked the bootloader and the fastboot mode now shows cyanogen logo instead of the mi logo.
The TWRP is working fine and i tried out both CM13 as well as 14.1.
i was on the miui 8(5.1) build and i tried to restore the EFS file to enable VOLTE on CM14.1 but no VOLTE is working as it was V5.1
I now have to revert back to MIUI8(6.0).How do i proceed?.
*I will flash the global MIUI8 developer rom using the TWRP?
*Restore the backup that i had done earlier with with official TWRP?
*Boot into eld mode(Cyanogen fastboot mode) and then use MiFlash and flash global developer MIUI version.
Please Help me with this.Need to get the VOLTE working fast and get back to MIUI.
First of all let me tell you that volte is broken and fluctuating in miui8 MM builds. Even though there are fixes but then you have to compromise fp scanner. So in my opinion flash xiaomi.eu rom 6.8.11 based on 5.1.1. But as per experience I have seen volte working in santhosh build. Just dont flash any firmware. And to revert back to miui8 LP just wipe partitions and remeber dat official MM roms are encrypted. Dont go there. Happy flash.

Thanks for the reply!..
Ill download the developer rom from the miui website and flash it using twrp?
or
ill flash using the fastboot mode in edl?
My device has locked bootloader now.with the CM bootloader..Not with the MIUI bootloader.

Didnt you unlock bootloader? If not then unlock it using mi flash tool, and check out roms from xiaomi.eu site not from miui.com, official site produce ****ty roms. They mess up data partition with encryption. Check out 6.8.11 based on 5.1 where VoLte works fine.

I had unlocked the bootloader... I then flashed cm 14.1 which relocked the bootloader and took me to cyanogen bootloader...
Please tell me should I download the ROM from xiaomi.eu and flash it using twrp??
Or I'll flash the fastboot file from mi.com/ and flash it using mi flash???

download any rom from the given link of xiaomi.eu, and flash it, use zcx twrp, its best atm, dont flash any gapps.

I have locked bootloader.Is it fine if i just flash the zip file using twrp
MiUnlock is not detecting the phone to unlock the bootloader.
Sorry for too many questions.Litte bit new to RN3 .It was easy to flash and do stuff with my old OnePlus One.
::And ill download the stable or weekly
I think you might lose IMEI/EFS if you downgrade from CM 14.1 to lolipop MIUI? Someone more knowledgeable can confirm.

download weekly, miunlock is not detecting? Hmm then may be it is due to windows drivers. If you are using x64 bit OS then you should tweak driver signature enforcement in windows. which twrp u are using? Use a twrp where you can backup efs, modem and other important partitions. alka, zcx are best twrps.

if you use edl then it doesnt matter whether its unlocked or locked. But edl mode needs to wipe everything all data in int storage.
Whats the update? Did it went well? I mean through edl mode using MiFlash.
Hey,
I also have a question. If I officially unlock my bootloader and some how it gets locked again then can I unlock it again officially?

I believe so. Flashing magisk, enabling root, then relocking BL mighr be the best way.

Outdated bootloader, hmm. Yes, I think it's the problem as someon else also suggested to first upgrade to latest global stable ROM and then unlock. But how to do that? I googled it, but can't find any method. There's negative comments on every one of the threads. Help me out in this ?

Already tried that. Got permission in 3 hours. But miunlock gets error at 99 %. " Account not bound to this device, go to dev options -> mi status -> add account". Did that too, but gives 8612 and something in Chinese error.

Thanks. What I want to do is either update to latest RR ROM, or to revert back to miui because 25-04 Resurrection build is a lil bit buggy. And the problem while updating to latest build is it gets stuck on "get Resurrected" animation. Same goes for NitrogenOS. Currently, I'm on 25-04 RR build, and it's working okay-ish with some bugs. Now, on asking this stuck animation here on another thread, someone said to upgrade bootloader by unlocking in miui 8. But there's no unofficial way...
On which ROM did you unlock officially? Global stable or global dev or China ROM. Also provide the miui version. I will try to flash that ROM and re-unlock

Running on which Rom?
Sent from Mido using Tapatalk
Latest global rom , 8.5.4.0 . So far i still have stock rom , i needed root to clean some misc file , now i would like to unroot , get stock recovery and relock my bootloader .
Double post.
I told you , 8.5.4 miui global rom stable
It depends... what you used to root? Magisk or SuperSU or something else?
For SuperSU search for UnSU, for Magisk you can find a Magisk remover in the first post of Magisk thread.
You can also flash the original firmware to unroot.
I used Su , using unsu will install stock recovery too ?

Followed the guide but when i try to flash , mi flash tells me : "cannot found file_all_lock.bat
After you download the firmware, you have to extract the downloaded file to find the firmware flash files. The you find also the .bat files.
If you go in the lowest part of the windows, on the right, you can choose which .bat file to use. Select one without the word "lock" or it will re-lock the bootloader.

Dont flash miui officiial globak rom on twrp. U will get nice bootloop if u dont know what u doing on unofficial bootloader.
If u want to go back to miui then use Pc and miflash.
