Fastboot method is for you, and there is no need to worry about ARB, and after unlocking bootloader you'll also be able to install xiaomi.eu!

[SNAPDRAGON] Downgrading the Redmi Note 4

Hello everyone..
I recently got my Redmi Note 4 SD, its the 4/64GB variant and the device is classy I must say. However, since the last update, my device is having RAM issues and above all, heating issues. What I'm trying to know is can I flash the outdated version via fastboot method without unlocking the bootloader?
I am on the 8.1.15.0 version (Indian Variant) and I have the 8.1.10.0 version, I just want to rollback to it.
I hope there must be a way to flash stock ROMs without unlocking the bootloader. And also, if I unlock the bootloader and flash the stock ROM, will the bootloader get locked again or would stay unlocked?
A step by step guide would be highly appreciated.
ThankYou
Isn't there anyone who can help me out with this?
You need to unlock bootloader to downgrade or flash fastboot ROMs. You cannot downgrade from Updater app

Before buy note 8 question

Hi, I have question. I want buy note 5 636sd.
I read a lot about anti downgrade.
One question, it is possible after unlock bootloader downgrade via fastboot rom?
I think they will fix that soon, for now you can unlock your bootloader flash twrp and then use miuipro, masik, xiaomi eu miui10 roms those all better than stock miuis. So you will not hang to anti rollback
Don't forget to ask seller if device is miui 9 or 10.

Will I receieve OS updates if I convert China Version Mi 10 to Global Version?

I'm planning on buying Mi 10 from China, then convert it into Global Rom / EU Rom. Does anyone know if flashing global rom will allow the device to receieve auto updates on the OS? Also will I be able to relock the bootloader after flashing the global rom?
Has anyone tried this? Thank you!
If you lock bootloader with Global rom your device will brick.

Can't update to MIUI 12

Hi,
I am a first time Xiaomi user and just got the Mi 10 Global version. I tried manually installing the official global MI 10 Miui 12 ROM, but the update failed as it couldn't be verified. Please take a look at the screenshots..
I can't update it via fastboot neither, as my bootloader is locked and Xiaomi wants me to wait for 168 hours (7 days!) to try again.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Because it is a Vodafone branding. You have to wait till Vodafone release the update.

So the VF at the end of MIUI version number means Vodafone?
If that's the case I might as well go and unlock my bootloader, flash the unbranded global rom and relock the bootloader.
Do I loose anything by unlocking and relocking the bootloader? I had Samsung phones before, where unlocking the bootloader would trip Knox and invalidate your warranty.

Yes VF is Vodafone branding. If you unlock bootloader you will loose your data. So make a backup.

So in the end I flashed it with Xiomi Tool V2 and I didn't need to unlock the bootloader.
