Not fw you'll have to flash the whole rom.
You can flash any Android 10 MIUI ROM (Except Elite) . I used MIUI pulse in my case.

For Those Who DOOO
Hi DODOS,
We know that, inorder to downgrade from Miui 6 to Miui 5 on Mi3W,we have to lose entire Internal SD card if we use fastboot flashing method,and hence i made this thread to help you people avoiding the loss of entire data.
Requirements:
1) Mi3W (A Dragon In Your Pocket )
2)CWM recovery (Download From Attachment)
3)Recent stable version of Miui v5 rom(Get it from the download section of official miui english website)
Procedure:
1)Backup your apps and settings since they'll be wiped.
2)Open the Updater app and select update package(i.e the downloaded CWM recovery) by browsing through your sd card.
3)Tap on reboot and enter into recovery by holding "vol+" button
4)Select your active system(choose any of the system and go to advanced menu,you can see your active system their,then change to current active system from managed system[system 1/2] )
5)wipe data/factory reset
6)wipe cache partition
7)mounts and storage>format /system(To avoid force closes of apps after rebooting)
8)advanced>wipe dalvik cache
9)install zip>choose zip from /sdcard>0/>Downloaded Stable ROM
10)reboot system now (Select ---yes-disable recovery flash and root your device if prompted)
This Worked For Me and I felt to share it with you people..Thank you.
and
THANKS to
@Ivan @huangqiwu and @Shahzad

Let me know your response. Plz reply..
Nice job mate, I"ll try it later coz I still wanna use MIUI 6

You can restore apps and app data using MIUI's backup and reset option. Few system apps may not get restored since you are downgrading,but that doesn't create an issue. I'm using most of the apps (excluding system apps) normally.

hi i tryed to convert my redmi note 4x to global when flashing with mi flash tool i did it without clean and after that firmware finish installing but got stuck in bootloop now i flashed twrp and tryed to flash custom rom but again bootloop when i check my storage it shows 9gb now when its actual is 32gb i think i disturbed partitions any solution available?
Are you able to boot into TWRP?? If not flash TWRP first using fastboot.
Once you have access to TWRP boot into it and perform a full wipe (System + Data + Cache + Dalvik + Internal Storage). Perform a format too after wipe to be on the safer side. Now copy a custom ROM or MIUI ROM to your Internal Storage or SD card through a computer. Once copied install your ROM.
If you flashed custom ROM flash Gapps after flashing ROM. Reboot.
If you flashed MIUI, flash lazyflasher after that(or phone will be stuck at MI logo). Reboot.
You can find download links for lazyflasher here on XDA or you can google it too.

@ArK96 is right but the only thing i suggest is to, flash miui and lazyflasher first so as to properly set up the initial firmware, and partitioning. After miui boots properly, you can do anything you want. :highfive:

Go here and download the Global Stable worldwide release version firmware.
Boot into twrp wipe and format everything. Also after that reflash TWRP again using fastboot.
Once reflashed boot into TWRP and again perform a full wipe and format, then install the downloaded firmware zip. After that reboot TWRP and try flashing MIUI.

Yes. Red wolf is more MIUI friendly, it is made with OTA survival in mind. But your issue is that the ROM is not getting flashed. You can try what I said above about TWRP reflash, if it doesn't work you can go ahead and try redwolf. REDWOLF is nothing but modded TWRP, base code is still TWRP.

I got same issue,can't set fp,,only face unlock works perfectly
also latest global rom won't allow installing twrp. need to flash older version of official miui rom to get recovery
Easy fix to fingerprint issue in Newer Xiaomi EU ROMs
This is how I got rid of this fingerprint problem.
1. First you need to flash Orangefox recovery for redmi 5 ( any custom recovery like twrp would work but I recommend Orangefox since I know it will work )
2. Then after entering recovery, click reboot then click recovery. If it don't reboot to recovery use the power button + volume up combo to re-enter recovery.
3. Go to wipe section and click format data. Type yes then enter.
4.Again reboot to recovery.
5. Wipe everything except internal storage and sdcard.
6. Reboot to recovery.
7. Flash xiaomi EU ROM v8.9.6 for redmi 5. Wait for flashing. Click wipe cache. No need to wipe data or anything.
8. Reboot system.
9. Complete the setup and add fingerprint.
10. Reboot to recovery and install any xiaomi EU ROM you want. But don't ever wipe data. Wiping data will wipe fingerprint data and you will get fingerprint error
11. Don't do anything extra just reboot system. Booting will take some time than usual. Its just for first time. Enjoy your new ROM with fingerprint and face lock and without bloat. :fingers-crossed:

Fingerprint fix in simple way
Flash xiaomi EU v8.9.6 through any recovery.
Reboot system. Setup fingerprint.
Reboot recovery and flash the desired EU ROM without wiping anything. Just reboot system.

Because the error occurs after flashing the rom but before it is completely installed (I don't arrive at the initial configuration of the phone because it resets first).

Hello everyone,
Having a series of bug that I did not like, I tried to flash my mi9 with an older version of the EU rom.
Since, my phone reboots constantly on TWRP and if I go in the files of the SD card, it is big anything in it.
Basically my phone is bricked.
I need your help to get by because the only thing that starts is TWRP ..
Someone could he save me?
Based on ny previous experience with another Android devices, I think your Mi 9 is far from beying bricked. All you need is to flash a stock image through fastboot.

Uhh yeah! You need to reboot to recovery to see if TWRP is still on there. Formatting means EVERYTHING gets yeeted out the back door. When you format data, always, and I mean ALWAYS reboot to recovery, and then you can flash your vendor image following your rom.
well, i flashed the android 10 version from "mi dot com/global/androidqbeta" , then i wanted to go back to the pixel experience rom and it didn't boot, it boot loped to twrp, so, I wiped all the partitions, and tried to flash the global version that came with the phone and it gives me the error "vendor error flashing" and then on another try after flashing the vender through twrp "system error flashing", then I formated all the partitions and then tried with the miflash tool version 2018-5-28, and it says device mismatch, but I am sure I have the mi 9 cepheus, 64gb 6gb ram, do i try flashing it with the European version ? i remember it came with the global version ...
[edit]
well, i solved it by making sure i had the same name on the folder that i had on the decompressed folder .. i've never encountered such an error
hope this helps someone ahah

Plz anybody help this out...
I unlocked bootloader, then immediately flashed Pitchblack recovery, then booted into recovery.
Initially console shows decrypted FBE device with default password. But Encryption status : Encryped
So I went into wipe & Formatted Data inorder to get rid of encryption. Then I rebooted recovery & it shows Unable to decrypt FBE device.
[UPDATE] (24/12/20) : The console output Unable to decrypt FBE device was nothing but to tell us that incompatible operating system flashed.
I flashed global version roms which are the main cause for bootloops. I flashed stock rom, then immediately worked out of the box.
1. Format data after going into twrp *It will wipe you device*
2. If you don't want to install a custom rom just mod MIUI, remove your lock screen password or flash orange fox and if it asks for password just put your lock screen password.
3. Else if you want to install a custom rom
Open recovery
Wipe data cache davilk
Flash rom
Format data
Reboot.

Thnx for reply. I've tried Orange fox too. When I format data, internal storage doesn't decrypt. Also when I flash custom roms, they flash, but I'm gonna stuck in bootloop.
My main problem is that I can't decrypt storage. Phone boots only when I'm on MIUI stock. Am I missing something ?
That is odd but still flash fastboot rom and then flash twrp , flash a rom of your choice then format data . Maybe it will help . Btw which rom are you installing.

Thnx for the reply. I'm trying to have lineage 17.1 & resurrection remix official build. I think rom's not the issue here. I need to know one thing.
To exactly say my issue, I can do flashing. But when I do & then reboot, Internal storage doesn't show the size & mtp doesn't work too, with bootloop issues along together.
There is no official LineageOS for the device.

Oh, I've mistaken, I was about to say resurrection remix official build & lineage unofficial one. Btw what do you think my device is going up to ? How can I decrypt & use internal storage successfully? I can't use internal storage when I flash a rom. Bcaz internal storage renders useless because of encryption.
Which recovery are you using?
Try flashing magisk 20 or 21.
Flash twrp by marounfurio( I am sorry if I slaughtered the name) which is available on xda.
And format data.

Yah, I'm feeling weird too. Normally there are 3 ways to remove decryption...I tried all those.
1. Formatting Data by typing "yes"
2. Formatting data partition from f2fs to ext4
3. Installing Decrypt script v2 zip immediately after flashing stock rom.
I tried everything I could. I know all sorts of common flashing things. I caz I always used to try so many roms on my previous redmi's, but this one is special case.
I'd suggest you use LineageOS recovery. That's how I removed decryption.

How to decrypt rom/storage so you can easily switch roms without format
First I would thankx to @sakhatlonda for koutiliy.zip
Steps to download file
1. Download koutility.zip from below.
2. Documentation related to koutility
Read from below link (recommended)
Just a utility zip which can be flashed on every rom flash, to do some pre-defined tasks.
Can be used either to copy everything you place in sdcard/sudeep/system_root to respective dirs or to set config and use that to do predefined tasks
This is how it works:
Flash in recovery, every option has Note with it
Available Configs:
brbootdtbo - auto backup/restore boot & dtbo, will do backup if no backup present and will do restore if backup is there
bbootonly - always backup boot
bdtboonly - always backup dtbo
resbootdtbo - always restore boot & dtbo (brbootdtbo won't work if this is enabled)
enalways - encrypt always (edauto won't work if this is enabled)
dealways - decrypt always (enalways & edauto won't work if this is enabled)
edauto - auto change encryption state on each flash
avb - removes avb flags (if decrypted)
quota - removes quota flag (if decrypted)
keep - doesn't over-writes boot/dtbo backups
debloat - removes bloats
rebloat - restore removed bloats
patchD - same as flash but set in config
productsize - makes a product image from your currently flashed rom to sdcard/sudeep and adds 600mb to it. So you can flash gapps etc. without error. (PC needed to flash product.img)
Steps to decrypt rom/storage
1. Flash roms
2. Flash koutility.zip tested on aosp only
3. Format data (required only first time after flashing koutility)
4. Reboot to recovery
5. Flash gapps (optional)
6. Boot into system
Congratulations your storage/rom is decrypted , you can switch roms without format
Next time when you want to switch roms
Steps
1. Wipe data,caches and dalvik caches
2. Flash rom
3. Flash koutility.zip
4. Reboot to recovery
5. Flash gapps (optional)
6. Boot into system
Notes
Remember you need to config koutility.zip in recovery
How to config koutility for decryption
Volume down (set config) > yes
After that "No" till 5th option
Then "yes" for 6th option
Rest "No" till 15th option
Last "yes" to flash
@LoadOP2 Thanx for providing KoUtil & its read me.
But I think we shouldn't reboot to recovery immediately after formatting the data. Because the stock rom will start it's initial encryption process by then & I won't get decrypted storage. Isn't it ?
I think this is the case that's happening to me. I always reboot recovery after formatting data, my storage will encrypt again because of stock rom's existence.
Yes you have to reboot to recovery. Otherwise you won't be able to use data partition.

Yes, you're correct, we should do that. But can you read my 1st post in this thread. This is about that specific problem. I'm rebooting recovery after formatting data, then recovery shows Unable to decrypt FBE device
Send your recovery logs after formatting data.

That would help. I'll attach screenshots too. Currently I'm on stock & being busy. I'll do this by today night & post logs & screenshots.
