MIUI 10 Downgrade on Mido? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

I apologize if I ask something very basic, but I have not used MIUI for a long time ... If I install a custom MIUI 10 ROM like Globe ROM, Epic Rom or EU, will I be able to return without problems to AOSP ROMS? I read that xiaomi blocked the rollbacks ... For root, Magisk 17? Xposed works fine?
Last question, which one of those ROMS do you recommend?
Thank you very much.

For roll-back, AFAIK, there is not arb implemented in Redmi note 4,so yes you can go back to aosp's and can root via magisk also.

Search anti-roll back nd follow the procedure

Choosing custom rom

Hey guys, some days ago i bought my xiaomi redmi note 3 kenzo (snapdragon). I am using the official stable miui rom right now but i want to use a custom Whats the best and most stable right now ? Im thinking of LineageOS and radon kernel, what do you think ? I am open to suggestions I would prefer a nougat rom but i read that there are still problems because xiaomi hasnt released yet nougat. The camera doesnt work or i have to use an non-stock app for the camera ? And one more thing. I want to unlock the bootloader with the official way. What exactly i must do ?
thanks !!!!!
for the official way to unlock, apply for permission on mi unlock site. just google it.
then first thing to do, create backup of modemst1 and modemst2.
flash twrp recovery and make backup of efs. (modemst1+modemst2)
now store that backup in a safe place.
Now there are many rom, i would suggest cm13 because quite frankly it is the most stable with not so many useless features.
for nougat yes lineage is a good choice. for kernel definitely radon is the best you can ask for.
because its been a long time since i flashed a device... is it safe if i do something wrong ? i mean if i have TWRP if i do something wrong i just revert back ? is there any possibility for something to go wrong even with the TWRP installation ? also if i install the CM 13 and radon kernel if i want to go back to Oficial Miui with stock kernel i just restore the backup i made ?
anyone?

Hi everyone, I want to use a Pie based ROM. Now I am using stock MIUI 9.6 Global bootloader unlocked. What would be the best procedure to flash a pie based ROM? And can I come back to MIUI if I want?

If you have an unlocked bootloader, it's going to be easy. Install TWRP or OrangeFox Recovery. You will get the instructions in the respective pages of XDA. Then, take a complete backup of all partitions using TWRP/OrangeFox, back up the apps using Titanium Backup, and then get a ROM of your liking, and install it.
You are not going to sacrifice anything if you flash a treble ROM. You can revert to MIUI 10 at any point.
But do keep in mind that Android Pie ROMs are quite new and might have a bug or two.
Unlock Bootloader first
Flash twrp
Flash cusrom
Flash GApps
Flash Magisk (if you want to root)
Reboot

The posts above me has mentioned the method to flash custom treble ROM. In case you find any difficulty in flashing it, you can PM me. The procedure they mentioned are simple enough and the steps are user friendly. Take a recovery backup once you flash your custom ROM. You can come back to MIUI anytime you want.
I had flashed ROMs for various versions including Treble ROMs. In regards to selection of treble roms, you find whichever customisation features and options you like and select them.
I find MIUI to be stable enough for daily use. In case you are a flashaholic like me then you can try all the custom ROMs and check which is stable enough for your use.
I faced a major difficulty of signal instability with custom ROMs. Fyi I am in India and the network is JIO. I found too many blank spots and lesser signal quality. Apart from that the ROMs are fluid and fast enough.

Upgrading MIUI 9 to MIUI 10 on an International Mi Pad 4

Hi!
Before attempting anything I wanted to ask this here:
I have a non-rooted, completely stock Mi Pad 4 bought from Gearbest. It is the international version (Model name: M1806D9W) that came with Google Apps, already with english language, etc. It currently runs MIUI Global 9.6 | Stable 9.6.7.0.0(ODJCNFD) (Android 8.1.0 OPM1.171019.019)
I read online that MIUI 10 should be available for global versions which I think mine is? But yet system updates tell me there are no updates available.
So here's my question: What is the simplest most straightforward way to upgrade to MIUI 10?
I see I can download ROMs from threads here and other places online but I want to make 100% sure of which one should I get.
Bonus question: Any way of backuping everything so I don't have to re-install, reconfigure, re-place my apps icons, etc?
Thanks so much!
pretty sure the international version that your reseller claim is false.. there are no international version now.. they probably loaded an "international modified" rom .. highly recommend you to flash xiaomi EU rom already comes with prebuilt playstore if you ur bootloader is already unlocked. if not, flash official chinese miui 10 rom and they are many guides to get playstore on chinese rom as well.

Ok I see! So once I upgrade to MIUI 10 I will have OTA updates then?
This is the one I need right? https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-pad-4/how-to/rom-miui-10-xiaomi-eu-links-t3864882
Also is there any way of restoring my apps, settings, etc like it is on MIUI 9 right now? OR will I really need to start all over again?
EDIT: I don't believe my Mi Pad 4 is rooted. This seems like good instructions on how to root it and flash a new rom? https://en.miui.com/thread-3196420-1-1.html
Thanks so much!
i just flashed my mi pad 4 . It had the same rom, just modified rom to include the playstore,
The bootloader is already unlocked.
just boot to fast boot. volume key + power
flash twrp - i used twrp installer bat from here en.miui.com/thread-3196420-1-1.html
once boots twrp, then flash miui 10 - androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=281632
job done.

yeah the link is correct, with xiaomi Eu rom you can still get official updates, maybe just slight delay from official chinese stream. but that's the best support we have so far for international miui roms now. the check update seems to be quite buggy on xiaomi eu rom, sometime it downloads but fails on completion.. just try again.. 2nd try is the charm as always haha. if not you can download the rom and dirty flash no problem, i was on beta previously so maybe thats why.
highly recommend you to start from fresh.. migrating over apps may result in bug occurrence.

Before flashing

Hello everyone,
I just unlocked by bootloader but I have a few questions before proceeding. I've been using my Mi 8 Lite (global) with MIUI 10.3 and it's actually a very nice OS. My thought was to install the MIUI from xiaomi.eu or mi-globe to rid of the bloat. Do you guys recommend keeping what I have and somehow removing the bloat or should I just do a clean install of MIUI without the bloat? Another question is, should I use the rom from xiaomi.eu or mi-globe or does it really matter where? Lastly, by unlocking bootloader and installing TWRP, does that slow down my phone? Also, do I have to install Magisk and if I do, does that slow down my phone?
Thank you to whom will take the time to help!
One more question, can someone link the the most up to date TWRP for Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite please?
Also, are ROMs from xiaomi.eu and mi-globe.com safe?

I have used both for years. Mi globe is a modified version of xiaomi.eu with more features.

Don't tknow what to do now, can somebody help me?
I mean 4 in the title sorry
I have 7 too, but i use xioami.eu there, but the 4 xiaomi.eu dropped the support
