You don't have to worry about antirollback..
Your device will be bricked if you try to flash 9.5.17 or older version
But you can flash any MIUI ROM from 9.5.19 and newer
Antirollback doesn't apply to custom ROM
Just keep two things.
Flash latest Miui ROM
Flash custom recovery (first boot into recovery and then flash recovery from recovery)
Wipe everything
Flash custom ROM
Flash gapps
Thats all
Do not flash any older firmware. Your device will not be bricked a long as you are flashing latest available miui ROM

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

You can also use latest recovery ROM and flash it using TWRP recovery

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!

Yes you can upgrade to MIUI10.. but you have to flash full recovery ROM, still you will get OTA update from xiaomi but its always recommended to flash complete recovery ROM
Hello.
I have a bootloader unlocked, twrp and a custom rom (now its havoc) and I had Xiaomi.eu too.
There is any way to back to global miui without brick my phone?
Thank you.
will not brick the device.
There are two ways to install MIUI for you:
1) Use MI Flash to install the Stock-ROM through fastboot (you will have the option to lock the bootloader or not, and you will lose the TWRP)
2) Download the ROM that is installed by Recovery and install as any ROM. (You will not miss the TWRP)

he may have done something wrong, it happens, but if you do it right you will not have the bricked device.
First rom with arb v4 was 9.5.19, so u can install anything from this to latest 10.2.0.1 (imo best choice). You cant brick phone unless you try to flash older roms.

Wrong information... One can easily install any ROM between 9.5.19 to 10.2.1
Use fastboot method to return back to global stable

Probably she flashed older version of Oreo ROM (below 9.5.17 version)
And MIUI based on android pie is around the corner for our device.. After installing android PIE miui ROM there is no chance to install Oreo based miui ROM
Hi guys.
I have a lot of lag on my phone with MIUI 10, before reinstalling MIUI10 I was with the Pixel Experience and then Havoc, then I decided to go back to MIUI10, but now it's with lag, when I open recent applications or I go into some application the system does not is fluid. Remembering that when I was in HAVOC OS I installed the Insigniux Kernel. Can someone please help me?
And... Sorry for my bad English
How did you installed Miui ROM from custom ROM ??
It's always recommend to use fastboot ROM method while switching to stock ROM from custom ROM.
Try fastboot ROM method

Custom ROMs don't have fastboot ROM package.. I am talking official fastboot ROM package..
Anyway. It's a custom ROM problem

The issue is flashing Magisk at the same time as rom. Flash Rom, wait til it boots then go back to TWRP and flash Magisk and you will be OK
Hello you beautiful people ,
I recently purchased a Redmi Note 5 AI and i want to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom ROM since i'm not happy with MIUI, i have read about ARB and i'm fully aware that i can't flash an older MIUI ROM with a lower ARB than what i previously had.
But what's absolutely confusing me is if i decide to change my mind, how do i go back to Stock Everything (ROM, Recovery, Bootloader) basically and be able to receive OTA's from Xiaomi normally again? (I tried to search the forums to find an answer but i couldn't find anything so please don't tell me to check the forums).
Download fastboot ROM and flash it using MiFlash software

Doing that will lock the bootloader and bring back the stock recovery as well, and i'm able to get OTA updates again?

You will get option to lock the bootloader or keep the bootloader unlocked
Yes this method will bring stock recovery and you will get OTA updates.
You have to download global ROM to flash it on global variant device
Or China ROM to flash it on Chinese variant device

Ahh thank you so much ^^, sorry i keep asking way too many questions, but where do i get the option to lock the bootloader again? and if i'm on miui 10.2.20 before custom ROM, i can flash the same MIUI ROM i was on or an older one as long as it has the same ARB value?
and is there a guide on how to flash ROMS and recoveries, because i am extremely confused >.<

In MiFlash software. Select clean_all and lock option to lock the bootloader
Yes you can flash 10.2.2 or any older ROM wich has ARB value 4 (you can flash any ROM between 9.5.19 to 10.2.2)

I can flash the Custom ROM without any worries now ^^
If I flash for example fw_alioth_miui_ALIOTHEEAGlobal_V13.0.4.0.SKHEUXM_17e135935d_12.0 and another custom ROM wants fw_alioth_miui_ALIOTHEEAGlobal_V12.5.8.0.RKHEUXM_5e087090df_11.0 (v12 basically) will I trigger ARB and brick the phone? Or what is it that triggers ARB?

First of all these are not custom roms but stock roms.
The brick only if your device is Chinese and you lock the bootloader on a rom other than Chinese
Then either you use Miflash or Twrp.
If you use Miflash and encounter the ARB problem, the flash will not work and that's it, edit the script and delete the lines concerning ARB.

I meant like, if Pixel Experiance ROM requires a specific fw version. I thought that if you flashed a older fw then you trigger ARB and you brick the phone. It was so on my Redmi Note 5 from what I understand. Is it not so on Poco F3? I'm talking about flashing in TWRP. And the firmware I'm talking about is from here https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/firmware/alioth/ i.e not the whole MIUI ROM, just the firmware

Flashing a firmware for an AOSP rom is no problem, but sometimes you have to flash the complete rom.
Twrp:
Format data write yes
reboot twrp
flash firmware
reboot Twrp
Follow OP instructions

Ok, so let's say I have flashed MIUI 13 and the custom ROM wants MIUI 12 /fw v12 I can flash it without triggering ARB? Good in that case

Format data erases your data and creates a new partition if necessary so yes it is preferable.
