I have a 32GB Global Hydrogen. I just updated to MIUI 8 (8.1.6.0) and I hate it, I want to go back to the last version of MIUI 7 which I think was 7.5.7.0.
I have read so many threads and watched so many videos on how to do this. Everyone says different things, its never a Mi Max specifically, plus the English is so appalling that I really can't tell what to do. I'm a noob at this so apologies.
So whats the proper method of downgrading? Does the phone have to be boot loader unlocked to downgrade?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
You should download a fastboot Rom and flash it on edl mode
Here's a link to the official tutorial on how to flash a MIUI ROM in Fastboot mode. This link also contains all currently available fastboot ROMs for Xiaomi devices, but only the latest versions, so MIUI 8 for the Mi Max.
This will be the tutorial to follow in order to restore your Mi Max to a previous version, but I'm not sure where you'll find a Fastboot ROM of MIUI 7.
MIUI 7.5 Global Stable V7.5.4.1.MBCMIDE
http://en.miui.com/thread-324576-1-1.html
Thank you for the replies, I really appreciate the help.
So to downgrade you HAVE to unlock the phone using MI's tool first? I did find the 7.5.7.0 rom at en.miui.com but I don't even know if that site or link is really official, you can never tell because if those are official forums they are run appallingly and are full of misinformation. I also heard you can break the SIM slots downgrading (something about losing the IMEI numbers)?
I am getting so annoyed with MIUI's dev team, awful stylistic design choices for example the horrid white notification blind with the weather app I don't want and the colour you can't change etc. Also the worst thing of all is the memory management where whatever you do you can't get apps to stay open or notifications to occur reliably.
The OS just gets worse and worse with every update ruining good hardware. Might just bite the bullet after the warranty is over and switch to something like Lineage but I am a total noob and very scared of bricking it.
Yes there are some issues like losing imei but it never happened with me as I have unlocked officialy and I tries every custom rom in my phone and many times if something goes wrong I upgrade or downgrade to miui using mi flash tool.
I suggest you if you want to downgrade then go for 8.1.6.0 as I always uses this version to downgrade.
However once I downgraded to miui 7.5 rom (probably oldest miui for mi max) then i had serious unstable phone and my phone became unusable.
I am on Nougat Resurection Remix 5.8.5 by ROMFACTORY. I have made a backup of MIUI Version: V8.5.1.0.NBCMIED (MIUI8) after unlocking bootloader and rooting it.
Is it safe to load that backup through TWRP ?
What are the steps to follow ?
Bootloader must be unlocked; and downgrading should be using MiFlash tool only!!! Most safest approach i always followed and never had any issues so far!!

Hi, a few questions:
1. Would it be safe to install using the Mi Max's built in updater, the official helium Chinese ROM (stable or developer) OVER a vendor ROM (global, unofficial ROM that came with my 64GB Mi Max)? The vendor/unofficial ROM that came with my 64GB Mi Max is Global Miui 7.3.14.0.0. I believe my Mi Max still has an unlocked bootloader and has not been rooted despite the vendor ROM. 2. If the installation is successful, would the installation retain Google playstore/Google apps and all other apps in their current state, or will all installed apps and all personal data be removed sort of like a factory reset?
3. If the installation is not successful, will it be a simple 'install failure' where the existing vendor ROM is retained and still fully functional, or will it result to a brick (device no longer usable/endless bootloop)?
Thanks in advance.
Good Day - Or Night
I had a similar problem and decided to unlock the boot loader and then proceeded to install the Miui 64 Chinese Dev ROM - Official complete with OTA Updates.
Here's a thread I made to describe that
http://en.miui.com/thread-336609-1-1.html
Now if you do an install on top of this - may or may not retain the Google apps - but more likely - you may run into permissions problems and unstable device.
So - in short I'd recommend - Unlock boot loader - Install ROM of Choice (Mi Max 64 and 128 do not have any International ROMs at this time - to the best of my knowledge and certainly no Miui 8 Official ROMs).

Just an update to my original post above...
The Global ROM for Mi Max Helium (64GB/128 GB; SD 652) had just been released, so I decided to download
the Global ROM for Mi Max Prime (Helium). The download link I used is found here:
http://en.miui.com/download-302.html#458
It turns out, it doesn't work when installed over vendor ROM's. I tried installing it on my Mi Max with the vendor ROM (Miui 7.3.14.0.0),
using the built in updater app in the Mi Max, but the phone just tells me 'Couldn't verify update package'.
Other times, it seems to install then reboots afterwards, giving you the false impression that the update is working. However, after
a seemingly 'stuck' reboot (seemed like a bootloop), it returns to your home screen as if nothing happened... You end up with
the same vendor ROM with everything untouched (nothing changed/deleted).
The only thing that did work for me was flashing the Global ROM helium image using Mi flash beta.
The procedure worked even with a locked bootloader (also, with phone not rooted).
Anyway, for those who do want to get rid of the vendor ROM on their Mi Max helium and install
the recently released Official Global ROM for the helium device, here's the link to the fastboot procedure using Miflash beta:
http://en.miui.com/thread-307139-1-1.html
You will need to select the correct Mi Max helium image files here:
http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
You will need to unzip the *.tgz file to get the *.tar file, then unzip again the *.tar file to get the
fully unzipped image directory. You then flash the entire unzipped image directory using Miflash beta.
This procedure works on my non-rooted Mi Max with locked bootloader. You just need to be careful though to flash
the correct image file directory or you'll have a bricked device. The Mi Max helium being mentioned here refers to the 64GB or 128GB version
with snapdragon 652 processor. It used to be called Mi Max Pro but it seems it is now officially called the Mi Max Prime.
i have mi max 3gb ram/32gb (sd650) model.would the above procedure work if i am on official global stable (7.5.6.0--MBCMIDE).i got the permission to unlock but am unable to,the process stops at 50% saying that the accounts dont match.earlier there was a mismatch in phone no,but i rectified that by resetting the device and applying for fresh permission with proper details,but still the prob persists.on reading multiple threads it seems that flashing the chinese developer rom would be my best bet.so is the process outlined above going to work if i want to flash chinese developer rom over my global stable rom,or is it better i go for global developer rom.in all these cases im talking about the fastboot roms.im not going to hardbrick my device am i ?,becoz the nearest xiaomi service centre is some 200kms away from where i live.i thought i would ask the experts here before i take the plunge lest i regret later for not having asked you guys first.plz kindly reply with your advices,im so anxious to flash the rr rom ever since i got the device a few days back,more so now that the 3g data bug is also squashed
You will not need to flash the global rom if you are already on official global rom as you stated. The MIUI8 update will be delivered via OTA if not at present, maybe in the coming days. Now if you are on official global rom and wish to flash other roms, I am not so sure it will not be risky if you have a locked bootloader. Maybe somebody else has experienced doing the same so let's hope the person will share it in this thread.

From what I've read, most people get the 50% error because they're not logged into the same Mi Account on their phone as well as the MiUnlock Tool. If you are logged in with the same account on the phone and the tool, then I'd suggest logging out of both, and then logging into the phone first, then the tool. This is what worked for me. If everything I've mentioned fails, you can use Doom Slayer's method to root and install the rom of your choice, which is posted right here .
thank you for responding guys,anyways i took a chance and flashed the fastboot developer rom thru edl method using miflash,the flash succeeded but to my dismay the unlock still fails at 50%.even after following all steps.it seems the only thing left is to try with the first account which got unlock permission,i have to apply for the micro sim on that number,since its a normal sim doing duty on my s advance.seems like i confused the xiaomi servers or something with multiple accounts.but eventhough i have multiple accounts i used the matching accounts on both the pc and mobile but no luck for me

Make sure everything is okay on your PC's side as well, use the USB cable you got with your phone, install all the drivers, and if you're using Windows 10, disable Driver Signature Enforcement prior to installing the drivers. I used the Xiaomi Universal ADB Drivers. Also search for the Bootloader stuck at 50% tutorial posted by mitch002 on the MIUI forums and try that out, it's seemed to have worked for many.
I was having a hell of a time flashing anything over my Mi Max on a China vendor ROM. I followed these instructions exactly and it worked like a charm. From post #3 above: http://en.miui.com/thread-307139-1-1.html This does not unlock or root the device. If you're still looking to unlock, I can't be of assistance, but I wish you the best.
Hello everyone. Mi max 3 is my first xiaomi device, so I do not basically understand anything about the devices. Before I had an Honor X2 (Huawei) and the process is a bit different. So here are some questions:
1- How do I backup the original recovery?
2- When I went to check if the rollback was active, no information appeared, so does it mean it is not active? (the miui version is 9.6.7.0 OEDMIFD)
3- If I back up via twrp of the original rom, can I restore it normally over another ROM or have some procedure to be done before?
In your opinion, is it worth installing the resurrected kernel?
I will unlock the bootloader soon and I need this information to learn about this device. Thanks and sorry for the lousy English (Google translator).

1 - When you do backup within twrp you just select recovery as well. I think this is the same with every twrp, not device specific.
2 - Seem like you have a global version taking this from your post and the version you have. I don't think you have anti rollback activated. However as there is no official global version released by xiaomi no one really knows what to expect.
In additional I cannot really understand your reason why you want to unlock your bootloader if you have an official version?? Some people may kill for that version here . Be careful though what you would install after you have the BL open because lots of the newer roms got ARB enabled.
3 - If you have permissions on all the partition once you installed twrp then backing up the current rom and restore it should work fine.
Hello Redmi Note 5/Pro users!
I was browsing the forum looking for the available custom ROMs for our device and decided that I wanted to try Pixel Experience, so I started looking through guides to unlock BL, flash twrp and then flash a custom ROM. Thing is, I'm a little bit confused.
First of all, I've read the post about how ARB works, and I still can't find the answer that I'm looking for, or probably I still can't understand how ARB works at all. Let's say I unlock BL, boot twrp, flash twrp, and then I flash a ROM like Pixel Experience. What is the safest way to get back to MIUI? As of my understanding I will only brick my phone IF I flash an older version of MIUI, thing is, what is "older" exactly? I'm sitting on MIUI 10 V10.2.2.0.OEIMIXM right now, If I wanted to flash MIUI again should I flash any newer build (when it comes out) to the one I'm sitting now (or the same)? Also, what precautions should I take when doing so? (I've read someting about encryption that I don't understand at all).
Secondly, does this guide still work for the current MIUI version and ARB version (I'm on 4)? I've read some comments saying that the part of flashing twrp is not updated and others saying that everything still works perfectly, can someone confirm this please?
That's it for now, thanks in advance for your patience and let's keep this community awesome!

1. More info abt arb 4 and 3: https://en.miui.com/thread-2340434-1-1.html
2. Basically you can flash any rom with arb 4 (not necessary newer than your current rom version)
3. Yes, this guide still works but you'll need to enter fastboot flash antirbpass dummy.img on fastboot before flashing twrp, just google whyred dummy.img and you'll find it.

So, with my last Xiaomi Phone (Redmi Note 5 Pro), there was a fair bit of Version juggeling with Anti Rollback Protection, having the potential to brick your phone depending on what Version of the Stock Rom you where on and what you flashed.
Is any of that applicable to the 10t Pro? The Unlock procedure and the Lineage Thread don't mention any of it. So, can i just unlock, flash Lineage OS to give it a try and, if i don't like it, flash back to stock without any issues?
I'm currently on 12.0.18 Global if that matters.
There's no anrirollback stuff yet. And if you downgrade back and get anrirollback in flash tools, only delete few lines from bat files and all is well...
Only way to hard brick now is flashing some partitions that are not meant for this device
Great. Thanks for the reply. Appreciated.
I'm trying to update my Redmi Note 8 Pro global from 12.0.8 to 12.5.1 manually since it doesn't find new updates no matter what i do.
I downloaded the ROM and selected it in "Choose update package", it tries to verify the update for a few seconds then just show me the message "Can't verify update. Couldn't verify update package." or "Can't verify update. Can't flash this stable ROM."
I tried to install it via USB flashing it with mi flash tool, still got the same message.
Does anyone know a fix for this, or at least why this is happening? Any help are appreciated.
Unlock bootloader, download the appropriate ROM for your version of smartphone (fastboot version), delete the check from the flash bat and you can flash. First try flashing, see if it boots. If everything is OK, you can try flash and lock.

is there any way to do this without unlocking bootloader?
If you are scared of losing the warranty, you wont once you relock the bootloader. Any other way, you ve tried it and it didn't work

It's not about the warranty, it's about my bank apps that might not work with the bootloader unlocked.
I'm going to do some research on how to unlock and lock the bootloader, as I didn't know it was possible to lock it again. Thank you for your help!

I fear that you might have misunderstood me. You cannot relock the bootloader while running a modified stock rom/custom rom. You can only relock the bootloader on a stock rom.

Are you running the latest stock version of your rom? Then, if you plan on using a smartphone with a locked bootloader, you already are. With a locked bootloader you won't get unofficial updates.

The rom from Xiaomi.eu is a custom rom. Xiaomi.eu is a group of enthusiasts who modify the stock Xiaomi rom, adding and removing features. Make no mistake, that's a custom rom. Close the bootloader with that one installed and you hard brick your device. The method I told you is the official one, which makes downgrading and upgrading your phones super easy. Now, if you want to flash a different version of the stock rom to your phone and lock the bootloader afterwards, be careful. There were reports that nothing happened and everything worked, but unfortunately not that many. A different stock rom might have a different cell tower reception, not adjusted to your country. So you might get less reception.

Hey today my phone unlocks so i will be doing the update. I just wanted to ask that on website:- https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/miui/apollo/ there is miui updates (i downloaded a fastboot 5.2g latest one 12.5.10.0) and firmware of 150mbs. So i have to install both firmware and miui rom? Or just stock miui rom? I read somewhere that firmware is for user which come from very old stock rom to latest one. So how to install firmware?
