welcome Guys . Here is a new tutorial on how to root ( with and without cwm recovery ) then install cm11 and downgrade to kitkat. I was trying this from morning and had success in downgrading. I dont like lollipop and i had lectures on flashing so i wanted to be on kitkat so here is a working downgrading tutorial. I dont have time to explain full steps. but a normal flasher will understand . I was not able to install cwm or any other recovery on lollipop . It always used to take me to stock recovery . I used many methods but was unsuccessful in install recovery . I used flash tool to flash img and many other techniques so later i just booted from recovery and rooted without recovery installed. I was not able to flash stock Kitkat rom on lollipop . There was some error .
Below are all simple steps for downgrade . Special thanks to varun . He helped me a lot. All DEVs for providing files. I have provided all download links at last with video tutorial and full tutorial links to understand each step clearly .
STEP 1 . ROOT your LOLLIPOP
Method 1 . Use normal method and unlock oem , flash recovery and flash the new superSU file.
Method 2. Without recovery
Requirements :
OEM unlock
ADB and FASTBOOT setup with recovery img in the folder.
Commands : ( in fastboot mode )
fastboot boot recovery.img
flash SuperSU file...
STEP 2. Install CM11
Method 1. Use normal method to flash cm11 . Clear Userdata and cache. Boot into recoverymode.
Method 2. If you are without recovery then boot into recovery again and flash Userdata
Commands : ( fastboot mode )
fastboot boot recovery.img
Method 3. After getting in recovery user adb sideload
commands : ( in adb sideload mode. )
adb sideload filename.zip
STEP 3. Flash Stock ROM
Requirements :
ROOT
CM11
Just flash stock rom using SP flash tool

Trying to downgrade from Android 6.0.1 to 4.4.4. Used SP Flash tools after unlocking the bootloader, but the phone never gets detected in SP Flash Tools. Tried both the "Firmware upgrade" and "Download Only" options. Any idea what could be the issue?
Hi All
I am trying to flash TWRP 3.2.1.2 on my Redmi Note 5 AI China version on MIUI 10.8.9.20 Beta
but I am getting an error (failed anti-roolback check). Anyone know of a work-around for this or is it no longer
possible to flash TWRP. My phone is already bootloader unlocked.
Hi there,
You should be able to see the guide on how to twrp on of the theads here.
After you get that error you must flash a dummy.img file into the recovery then last step is to flash the twrp file again.
It should be sucessful after doing so.
Let me know how you go

Please leave "Thanks" if this thread helped you.

Q&A
Does TWRP from that chinese forum presist after flashing ?
No. Phone will go back to original RECOVERY after 2nd restart.
Does that TWRP is functional with REDMI NOTE 8 PRO ?
Some functions may work, some not.
Installing root with this TWRP will cause bootloop.
When something go wrong....
If you end up with BOOTLOOP, for any reason ( Magisk etc. )
Just flash boot.img from FASTBOOT + RECOVERY+BOOT and bring your phone back to life.
This boot.img was extracted from firmware linked above.

So, I guess we have found a way to install twrp and it persists after flashing.
How about magisk? Does it still lead to bootloop efter following this process with twrp?
And how do we do a system update after at have twrp installed?

i was not able to install magisk, tried it several times yesterday.

Ok, thanks for reporting. I guess that Magisk just does not support our phone yet.
I have also tested Magisk v20 and got bootloop.

It may be possible to flash that chinese TWRP permanently, by replacing recovery.img in firmware images.
And flash it with MiFLASH.

Are you using the note 8 pro?
If yes, then it is fully supported by mi flash? I think it's the safest way to flash stock rom right now because you don't have to unlock the boot loader just to flash global or china rom.

I think that you have to unlock the BL first before you can access fastboot flashing, even with mi flash.l

Unlock bootloader before use Mi flash. Trust me. You don't want to resurrect phone via adl mode

The ROM is based on the Chinese beta version 9.10.17 Miui 11 and the Magisk is integrated into the ROM. Just flashed the archive with ROM from TWRP. I do not have a direct link to ROM - I downloaded it from the OTA server. You need to ask on the developers site.

Does the TWRP and Magisk required to flash the global rom? Or if i flash your files via Mi flash it will flash only Stock Global Rom?
I bought my redmi note 8 pro in China with a chinese version, then a few days ago i flashed a global rom with fastboot on the device.Then I tried to flash TWRP recovery and i did everything correctly but my phone doesn’t boot and go twrp directly repeatedly. Then i unroot from TWRP and it was normal again but there is no recovery now, not the stock as well but fastboot works. Now can you guys suggest me how to flash TWRP recovery on this and how to root this? Thanks in advance..

First you have to downgrade to Android V9, i don't remember which MIU Version that is.
@mxpower, this is strictly not true, I have been able to install Pixel Experience ROM straight from the Global ROM V12.0.3.0.QGGMIXM A10 without needing to downgrade first.
I followed this CFW migration guide correctly (method 2) with no bootloops and all working correctly.
@perlene You probably flashed the wrong TWRP version, to be safe, Flash full MIUI firmware from SP Flash Tools or via fastboot and start over again
Same problem, I have tried few different twrps since yesterday, same keep bootlooping!! every try after flashed with full Miui firmware from Mi flash, still the same.
