What is the difference between those firmwares?

Hello.
I want to flash latest firmware, running Syberia ROM, but I want to know what are the differences between: FW, FW-less and FW-non-arb?
Thanks.

If you are still anti rollback (arb) 3, installing the latest firmware (FW) will update your bootloader, thus you will have arb 4.
Fw less roms come without the firmware. since there is no firmware, no way to trigger ARB.
Fw-non-arb are firmware files without the bootloader part, again no bootloader so arb will not be triggered.

Since 8.12.27 is the newest rom available you can install only FW as this would not trigger ARB (Both 9.6.4.0 and 8.12.27 are ARB4)

Unable to flash roms which need pie firmware

Flashing latest builds of most ROMs (ones which need pie firmware) give error 7: with message 'you need to have firmware V10.3.1.PIEMIXM or above as prerequisite to flash this rom'
Since I am on anti-rollback-3, i downloaded and flashed the non-arb version of V10.3.1.PIEMIXM firmware from the stable firmware list, but flashing the rom still gives the same error.
I tried using TWRP 3.3.1 Official, i am using redmi note 5 pro (indian version). Can anyone tell me what am i doing wrong?

Is there no way to get pie firmware without getting to anti 4?

You need recovery compatible with Pie FW. Here is unofficial TWRP 3.3.1-1 working fine with Pie FW.

Downgrade from android 10 and flash stock rom?

Hello.
I currently have PixelExperience ROM android 10 version installed on my phone. I have downloaded the india version of official fastboot image. How can I install it as Mi Flash tool shows "mismatching device name"
Kind regards
Ryuk

Redmi 6 pro has rollback protection so I don't know how it may end.

Why you want to go back to stock? Any particular issue?

Do I need to update firmware before flashing custom rom?

I am currently on MIUI Global 9.5.19.0. Do I need to flash the latest firmware before installing an android 9 or 10 custom rom?

Yes buddy u have to flash atleast a pie firmware
(I suggest to flash 9.4.25 firmware, as it is best Pie Firmware)
U can download from Xiaomi firmware updater

Thanks man!!

Question What is firmwire

So i have this mi 11 lite device (lisa) and when i was flashing awoken os rom after flashing i was sidedload the firmware i downloaded from Xiaomi website..but after flashing it only went to bootloop but when i flashed pixel os rom and downloaded their firmware that was included with the rom it worked !! So my question is can i use that firmware for every rom or do i have to download separate firmware for every other custom rom..or is it the Android version that requires the same version firmware... e.g Android 12 has one firmware that works for every Android 12 rom and Android 13 has a firmware that works with every Android 13 rom..

Every rom requires different firmware . U can download the proper one from the rom's topics
