Flashing lineage os with locked bootloader - Xiaomi Mi Max Questions & Answers

hi just to ask has anyone here manage to flash lineage os on locked bootloader?cos the new firmware has multi window and so tempted to try it.

Personally, I hardbricked the phone even with doing proper guide... Sending it back since still wararnty..
If anyone else have different result perhaps can help?

Right now I'm using LineageOS with locked bootloader. I think if you want to use with locked bootloader, don't flash the firmware provided by nijel8.

thanks for the replies but already unlock bootloader and flash lineage os best rom so far

If you are not the MIUI fan, then Lineage by nijel8 is the best option to go. I am on locked BL, and so far is OK!

How did you unlock, officially or unofficially?
If unofficially, did u get the white ASUS: IN SEARCH OF INCREDIBLE Splashscreen? That indicates if your bootloader is unlocked or not.
White=Unlocked
Black=Locked

Try both and enjoy. Why limit to one ROM
Stock ROM is somewhat stable
With custom ROM you will get android pie

Just flash ROM and gapps and don't flash firmware while flashing custom ROM
While flashing stock MIUI ROM use fastboot ROM to flash and there won't be any chances of brick. MiFlash software checks bootloader index before flashing a ROM so it is safer way

So Finally installed GCAM after unlocking the bootloader , installed Redwolf recovery & rooted with Magisk & its working good. Will i be able to upgrade to MIUI 10 with OTA or have to follow some other process?
Also, which ROM & kernel setup do you use.
Thanks in advance!

Anti-rollback Help!

Hello everybody,
yesterday I installed the ROM V.11.0.7 but it doesn't make any changes. It seems official. It's terrible! Today I tried to put the V. 11.0.5 but it does not even let me install the TWPR 3.4.1B I probably made a mess.
It doesn't allow me to downgrade.
Can you help me please?
Thanks a lot!

To come back to miui from AOSP you must use miflash tool to flash an official fastboot version of miui. It's necessary because miflash restores some partitions that are altered by flashing AOSP roms. Just remember not to relock the bootloader because miflash can do that.

You must bind your mi flash to your account to be able to use it to flash a rom on your phone. Note that mi flash will recognize your phone even if you had flashed a different rom on it.

Question How to Downgrade Android 13 to A12 or A11

Hello there, I'm a new user on Samsung device. I went to install custom rom on my device. There is no rom for this SM-A225F model, So I went to downgrade. I don't know if this is possible or not, I just asked to know. And developers do not get its source code? So that we can't use custom rom on this phone too, I am eager for custom rom. Thank you all.
If your bootloader is unlocked, you can use Odin to downgrade...unless the bootloader has an anti-rollback.

Yes, I unlocked bootloader but I didn't do it with odin software. I have done this with another device and Bugjaeger apk, which is more simple from odin software.
You can't flash firmware with an APK. You must use Odin or Heimdall.
