Should I update to 9.5.19?

Just bought note 5 pro and did the incremental update and I am currently running on 9.2.13(Android N) Just Now I got new update 9.5.19 Kinda heard of anti roll back and all. Considering if I want to install various Roms and mods should I not update it ? Since this update directly pushing me from 9.2.13 to 9.5.19 not via 14 I won't have Oreo ( treble ) what should be next step for getting treble support and not having anti roll back ?

1)Updating to Miui 9.5.19 only restricts you from going back to older version of Miui firmware (say the 9.5.14 version). You could still flash custom roms by booting twrp from fastboot and then flashing it in the twrp.
2)Also the fastboot commands will be blocked by updating to 9.5.19, you'll have to flash arbypass.img provided in another thread to unlock them every time, before using the commands.
3) Again, you CAN still flash custom rooms and mods by booting twrp, or flashing it after flashing arbypass.img from this thread ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro/how-to/index-everything-anti-roll-t3816219)

What if I want to try a MIUI 10 beta? If I install it, I won't ever be able to install a previous MIUI 9 stable version? And if I install custom ROMs after updating to MIUI 9.5.19, can I easily go back to MIUI 9.5.19 (or latest version of MIUI)? Does this anti rollback **** make you always flash the latest MIUI there is or newer version? What if I'm stuck in a beta? Jesus this is ridiculous, I already regret buying this phone even though it hasn't arrived yet.

redmi note 5 ai and anti rollback

Hello,
- My device Xiaomi redmi note 5 Ai globle v. with miui 9.5.19.0 with anti rollback
- After waiting 15 days i unlock bootloader .. I just unlock it only for root it
- After more and more search I find way to root it by flash twrp and lazy flasher and then Magisk-v16.0
- now I worry about anti rollback .. I just unlock bootloader for rooting, no need to flash custom roms, I'm fine with miui
I worry because what I read about anti rollback,
my last redmi note 4 have not anti rollback and when i get updates, i back to stock recovery and install updates and after updating i flash twrp again and root it
now I stop auto updating in my redmi note 5, i don't know now what can i do if my devices send me miui updates, what can i do to update it without have any problems? sure i don't want any problems or brick my device!

What's the easiest way to revert to stock? (Remove TWRP, and relock the bootloader)

I'm sorry if this was asked before, but I've been searching for a few hours now and I couldn't find a good solution.
Basically, I installed twrp and magisk on my "Redmi Note 5 A.I Global Version" a few weeks ago, and I recentely sold my whyred, just now I remembered that it has twrp on it, the guy that bought the phone doesn't mind but I don't want him to have any issues with the phone.
The phone is in MIUI 10 10.0.4, it's working great with no boot loops or anything, I just want to remove the costum recovery and relock the bootloader while being certain that the method I will use won't cause him any problems.
Can I just install miui 10 rom on twrp and it will remove twrp? And then relock with mi flash unlock?
Thank you.

Upgrading to Android 10 on Redmi Note 8

Hello guys, I knew yesterday that Android 10 finally came out for Redmi Note 8, however for now the china version is the only one available, flashable via UPDATE.APP, right?
That's my question: I'm currently on stock Android 9, but with unlocked bootloader and root with MAGISK.
If I do the update to Android 10, will the bootloader be locked again? Will I be able to unlock again? And I guess I'll lose root too, will be possible to root with Magisk?
Thanks in advance

Just clean flash rom through recovery+flash magisk that's all. Backup everything before flashing. After flashing if reboot redirects to recovery then simply format data partition and reboot again.

i think you can not update this with update app, this update is only for beta tester
you can clean flash it with recovery, if you do this you lose everything along root, data, pictures etc
if you just want miui 12, you also can try eumiui 12 beta with Android 10 or wait for global stable
whatever you choose to do you can not lock your bootloader again even if you select it in mi flash tool you will just brick your device and, bricked device is bigger problem than locked bootloader

Wait for the official OTA update

Question Where to get Stock Firmware?

Got the Mi 11 5G NE recently and I'm wanting to install LineageOS on it as per the installation guide: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/lisa/install
However it says I must be on Android 12 and unfortunately I've already updated the phone to the latest Android 13 MIUI.
Just wondering if there's a reliable place to find the Android 12 stock firmware

MIUI Downloader will point you to the official ROMs
MIUI Downloader - Apps on Google Play
MIUI upgrade app for Mi users.
play.google.com
However, you would need to avoid downgrade protection (it can be done, you will have to download the Fastboot type ROM, unpack tgz, find a bat script inside that does not relock BL, edit the script to remove downgrade protection and use it then to flash manually via Fastboot - not by using MIFlash)
Btw, for any flashing you must first unlock the Bootloader (either for downgrading MIUI and/or for installing the custom ROM)

Okay awesome, thanks!

Ah nvm it went through.
Can/should I re-lock the bootloader after either rooting or installing LineageOS? might just stick with rooted stock, haven't decided yet
