How to downgrade ROM ? - Realme XT Questions & Answers

I am utterly fed up with RMX1921EX_11.A.12 update. Battery life is pathetic, Can't download anything with any browser as browser crashes as soon as download nears completion, global search in-built in smart assistant fails to start & crashes smart assistant, google assistant keeps crashing and doesn't get activated despite repeated voice commands, camera images have reddish tint. This update is bug-full. I want to downgrade, is there any way?

Did u unlock ur bootloader? Maybe something wrong with the update process..or you did something wrong. Bring to realme center, they can update it for you.

No, there is no problem with update process. The OTA update is buggy. Realme Community is flooding over with user complaints with this update & everyone has exactly the same problem. Thats why I want to downgrade to RMX1921EX_11_OTA_0110.

hey they just released A13 update on the website and ota is coming soon.. all the bugs will be fixed.. you can download directly from realme website or wait for ota

Just flashed A13 update, most problems are solved, but battery drain is horrendous. SOT barely reaches 3 hours. Google app drains 45-47% battery. clearing cache and data didn't help. So my question still remains open. Is there any way to revert to older ROM?

Did you have older .ozip file? Like 11.a.11?
Did you unlock bootloader?
Did you know how to flash on fastboot?

I have older ozip file, but I don't have unlocked bootloader. I know how to use fastboot.

You can flash old .ozip file by clicking the ozip file with coloros file manager, and it will flash.
You can't use fastboot for roll back if you didn't unlock your bootloader.

Thasnks a lot, but I can't downgrade in this way.

Downgrade
Same problem, i want to downgrade too. I already have a file for color Os 6 in my file. If i do the same process for upgrade by clicking the upgrade now? Is it works? Or brick your phone? I can't sacrifice that

If you unlocked boot loader and have twrp you can flash any lower version of color os. Ex from a16 to a11..
Just flash the corresponding ozip file from twrp

did you try this?
Code:
adb shell pm clear com.android.providers.settings

I don't have this phone, yet, check also if there are other packages called "settings" (sony phones for example have 2 more) and pm clear them all.

Need help with soft bricked Huawei P8

Hi guys...quick question. I have a Huawei P8 that "used" to have Marshmallow Beta Rom installed. Long story short. Since there was no root I tried to revert back to stock with fastboot. Problem is when I tried to flash the B200 stock rom it got stuck on the last "sending" file for about half an hour (which normally takes about 3 minutes for full rom flash). Thought that I just unplug and try to reflash rom again(big mistake it seems but my last 2 phones were nexuses so I thought that it's impossible to actually brick your phone). Anyway...now I'm stuck on a bootloop with no way of entering recovery or the bootloader or fastboot, or anything else for that matter. The Vol+ - and Power combinations don't seem to be working. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Yeah...already tried that. Eventually this morning, after countless tries I managed to flash the first firmware for our P8 which is a beta B030 version. Now technically the phone works..but I no longer have audio and device isn't getting recognised by the PC (though Fastboot works fine), therefore it must be a software issue. An hour ago I managed to flash B170 and even B200 but the audio issue and usb connection issue is still there. Kinda running on fumes here. Anyone has any other ideea if I should flash anything else. Mind you...I can only update via fastboot...Normal update methods do not work. Thanks
If you had marshmallow beta rom, there is a downgrade package. Have you used it? It's version B300

No...haven't used it. Got a link by any chance? I did a google search but the links were all dead. Thanks
UPDATE: Ok....found it...but I'm gonna need to extract it since local update isn't working. Will update. Bottom line...I messed up because I didn't do the research before trying to rollback to B200. Stupid me
You should go back to marshmallow and do a proper downgrade: B313 -> B300 -> B200
Check the thread, you have to downgrade via 3 button combination for B300, and 2 button combination for B200
B300 is the only proper downgrade package
Good luck!

Which Rom is the best for the Mate 10 Pro

Hey Guys,
what do you think is the best costum rom (stable) for the Mate 10 pro?
Is it possible to flash it with Pie 9.0.161?
Thanks for Help :victory:
Just wait for the ota update to pie.
that's definitely a worse rom. i'm on it right now.

If you have the Pie update from firmware finder it's an approved ROM unless you have a modified recovery it checks and you wouldn't be able to install it if it wasn't approved so you probably have the latest approved ROM

Hi! Quick question. My BLA-L09 is on build number 8.0.0.131(c782). I'm rooted with Magisk via Pretoriano's TWRP using the all in one tool. I can't receive firmware updates because of this (they fail to install).
If I update to Pie, will I be able to root again with Magisk? How can make this update? I suppose I would need stock recovery back and don't know where to get it from it how to flash it. It was my first time doing this on a Huawei, I'm used to Samsung devices. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Nope, you won't. Any version from 8.0.0.146 and above will contain the new bootloader which won't let you unlock it or install twrp, magisk or whatever, most probably you will brick your phone like I did.
You'll be a lot safer to stay on what you're on. Huawei did a nifty development to make life miserable to anyone which likes to customize their phone. Maybe they should be called Huapple from now on...
I was in a similar situation as you, 141 if I remember correctly. Installed Xposed via magisk, got a bootloop, did a system restore via erecovery, got it working again and lost magisk/root so thought it would be the time to do the ota, didn't know about the bootloader change so found I was on emui 9, tried to install twrp but that bricked the phone. So I tried to do the system restore via erecovery again, but that didn't work.
After that tried every possible way (inc. paying funkyhw etc.) to recovery the phone, no way. If you try to downgrade it to a version before 146 it will hardbrick leaving you with a paperweigth.
So if I were you, I wouldn't touch a thing. I gave up and am waiting for my Oneplus 6, much better phone for this stuff.

There is a ResurectionRemix rom that can be used for that. Just search for RR-O-v6.0.0-20180402-bkl-OpenKirin.zip it should work as this one's flashable by twrp. I haven't tried it so can't tell if it does. I have the file but I don't know if it's complete as it only contains system.img which seems strange as normally there would also be a boot.img or at least a kernel.img

Extreme lag in pubg after 10.2.3 update

Hi guys.
I got the MIUI 10.2.3. update and everything was fine, until I tried playing pubg mobile.
Experienced a heavy lag, extreme lag.
I play with low settings and have never ever experienced frame drops like this in my phone.
There was no pubg update also so I can definitively say it's an MIUI issue.
Whatever I do, the phone is not responding in a positive way (uninstalled and reinstalled the game, etc.)
Now the latest software does not allow me to revert back to the previous version (10.2.2.) also.
Please suggest a fix, I'm desperate.
If you can not revert back, try a custom rom.
I figured I'd do that, but the mi unlock tool is giving me a serious headache.
Tried different versions and each has one unique problem.
Basically the unlock tool is not detecting my phone, even in fastboot mode.
All the drivers are installed though
Edit: I was able to get into fastboot and the unlock tool detected it.
The trick is apparently to place the mi unlock tool folder in the C: drive.
Looking for a way out other than flashing a new rom right now.
That will be my last option in case nothing else works out / a new update doesn't come soon enough.

Are you on a Ryzen PC ? Xiaomi drivers are known to have problems on Ryzen builds.
I made it work, used mi unlock version 2.3.803.10 and placed the folder in the C drive.
Using a lenovo laptop with windows 10.
The drivers were already installed so no problems on that end. The phone was detected and the unlock option came up in a couple of minutes.
Although I am apprehensive now about flashing a new rom, considering I need to backup my files and reinstall my apps after I switch to a new rom (got no time for that lol).
So on another note, I came across this link in a forum (which I am not allowed to post here because I'm not 10 posts old yet). Basically that it takes time for your phone to adjust to the update and for the battery consumption to become normal etc. Probably I should wait a few days and use my phone like I normally do and then observe the heating/frame drops/battery consumption.
you can revert to 10.2.2, thank GOD i didnot updated yet... flash the fastboot rom, if it still failing it, remove restrictions from those scripts, thats just 1 line to remove though, and then flash full fastboot rom... flash 10.2.2 if its fastboot rom available, otherwise flash a previous one then install 10.2.2 zip...

How do I remove restrictions from scripts? Remember my phone's bootloader is still locked. I haven't unlocked it.
You can try to factory reset though. I have mine on 10.2.3 and got no issues at all. Works like a charm.
Bro.. root your phone. Then flash MALAKAS KERNEL or any other OC kernel. Then flash magisk modules included in MALAKAS KERNEL. Damn smooth.. yeah.

Can you provide logs on your device? While playing pubg, log it. Please send it here
You can revert back to 10.2.2 without rooting your phone. Just download 10.2.2 software package zip file. Go to settings> about phone> software update> chose update package >select that zip file. Remember to format your phone. I had to do the same thing. Thats the only solution for pubg to work fine.
highly temp on your poco!.
You should be that phone was under 44° celcius. If your phone running in 44°, 45° or above, your phone will be droped FPS for playing PUBG mobile (extreem-smoot). Take that phone to fan or AC or something that reducing temp.( Running in MIUI 10.3 - Active save iphone XS max - customuser.ini iphone xs max)
I almost play in pubg mobile if my phone under 43° celcius only.
Sory, my english was bad.

Question Mix 4 CN Rom To EU Rom questions..

Hi all, have a few questions that might seem daft to some but need to get my head around it.
I have my Mix 4 and its obviously running the CN Rom. It is littered with bugs and there are many features that do not work or just missing, to the point where i could not use it as my daily driver in its current form.
Ive been reading up on flashing the EU Odin rom, and see alot of the issues are already fixed in it.
So after 4 hours of faffing i have managed to request a bootloader unlock. and i understand this will be a full wipe and reinstall.
This is my first question 8 days wait!
1: how do I keep an eye on the time left?
2: I have what i think are all the files ready to go to flash, but i understand this is done through fastboot?
3: So no OTA updates after this i would have to keep reflashing manually.?
4: I here something about TWRP that would enable this, but dont quite understand the process, or where do the updates then come from?
5: Are there any security issues like running Banking applications after unlocking, as i think it plays with security issues.
Hope someone with better understanding can help.
Hi...
1) I use my calendar to see when the time is right to resume the unlocking process
2) there's tutorial for this ...

3) yes... no OTAs from within the system, but ...
4) with TWRP you can flash the updates. You need to check,if the update-files are marked 'fastboot' or 'recovery'(TWRP)
5) Can't answer that one.
Good Luck.
Ok thanks for your help, still deciding to take the plunge or not, expensive bit of kit. Awhile to decide i guess.
so sorry another question, if we do this one withough twrp, can we just updat or is it a complete flash again?

Updating through TWRP should leave your apps and data intact.
Edit:It was way to early to answer the question... without twrp, only fastboot is possible as far as i know. When i used fastboot, i made a complete clean flash.
So once you have done it through fastboot you can use TWRP thereafter, thats cool.
I believe a CN to EU is a data wipe anyway.

Did you follow ALL instructions of the tutorial? How exactly did you proceed?
I think I accidentally tried to restore a google backup from my old phone, guess there was an app it didnt like, anyway reflashed to 21.9.8 and all is going well, amazing improvement over the original. very pleased.
Been having a play and only found 1 issue as yet, when you lock an open app in recents, you can still swipe it away?.

Thanks for replying. Did you have to do anything special like Magisk hide to hide that you rooted the phone?
Im not rooted, just running custom rom. I have no need to root.

How To Guide Downgrade US OEM (DE2117) Android 12 firmware to Android 11 BEFORE installing Lineage!

Lineage installation on N200 REQUIRES that you are running Android 11 or phone will soft loop after installing the Lineage boot.img
If you are updated to Android 12 firmware and want to install Lineage, you MUST downgrade first to:
DE2117 OEM Android 11 FINAL OTA
WARNING: This WILL erase all user data.
1. Place the firmware .zip file in the user root of internal phone storage.
2. Sideload OnePlus firmware Downgrade Tool on phone and use tool to flash the Android 11 firmware.
There is an Emergency Firmware install tool that OnePlus posted to the OP forum that does NOT check root status when the need to downgrade back to A11 was first acknowledged due to modem issue with first A12 OTA release.
This file was removed in a few days when they posted the official Downgrade tool replaced it.
I have used this tool to upgrade DE2117 C_16 to DE2117 C_17 while rooted and the built in upgrade tool failed at 37%.
Nice, first thanks for the hard work you're putting in. Second, is there an advantage to converting first to DE2117 then installing lineage as opposed to just installing lineage from DE2118 that you know of? I know in the other post you answered my other question stating that the Lineage will install on either so I wasn't sure if I'd get any benefit from starting over and converting my DE2118. TIA

Lineage is using own kernel and boot.img on A11 so in the short run it is not going too make any difference, but when Lineage moves forward to A12 the OEM Firmware has newer drivers and is updated sooner, has more OEM features and bugfixes as well as no carrier bloatware.
It is possible that OP will neuter the Carrier firmware with an OTA update to prevent cross flashing device away from the Carrier rom in the next OTA update by preventing fastbootd from flashing the us oem from a carrier phone.
They have already removed fastboot boot command to boot a boot image without flashing it for test before you flash and to allow Magisk to make a backup of the original boot.img before adding Magisk.
I would convert NOW, before they decide to slam the door on this ability with a future OTA that will not allow you to downgrade and prevent this as they are under contract with the carriers to not allow this to be done.
Ok, thank you for the explanation. Guess I'll back everything up and convert it.

This worked perfectly after following your convert guide and upgrading to 12. Downgraded back to 11 so I could install lineageOS. Thanks again!

I just downgraded. Make sure you remove root via magisk. Then proceed to rollback to Android 11. Everything worked fine. I'll install lineage tonight when I get home.

Just place apk in phones working directory, same path where your downloads folder is. Then install from there like any other apk and run. I also kept the FW file in the same directory but I'm not sure if that was necessary.
So, just to confirm, I press "local install" and select the firmware zip and it closes? Is the tool supposed to do anything else or am I good to flash LineageOS?

Ummm if I remember correctly hit local install and then it will prompt to point towards which FW to use. After you hit it, it will go back to the previous screen, I think verify and unpack it, then install it. Mine did appear like it was doing nothing after picking the FW and so I picked again which screwed things up so just wait after picking, it should start.
After its done it will give a message saying to restart phone I think for it to take effect, then after you restart it should ask to wipe phone, then restart again and you'd be in A11 presumably. Once in A11 your good to follow the normal procedure to install Lineage. This is all from memory though so I MAY have missed something but I don't think I did.

I've downgraded a second time (I'm very indecisive on which OS I want to use) and that one went as expected since I knew to give it a second to start doing its thing.

Weird, for me it just closes the app and does nothing, both the official and emergency ones. I even tried adding it to magisk's deny-list.
But I just restored the boot image via magisk (didn't restart) and it works now...

Did you remove root (Restore boot.img) and then factory reset?
You will loose all data doing this anyway.

Yes I factory restored the phone and tried again. Still fails every time
Has anybody had any luck figuring out the verification failed message? I too have tried both the official and emergency apps, of course I can't read the actual message in what I presume is Chinese, but it doesn't do anything and the other version says verification failed. Have not rooted. Kind of at a loss right now and all I want to do is install Lineage! I've already got my unlock token from OnePlus, but my understanding is that the phone still needs to be on A11 before installling Lineage.
