I used my Note 8T (willow) with custom ROMs with Android 13. Now I want to revert to MIUI, since I'll sell it. Is there anything special that I have to do before just flashing the full zip from here: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/willow/stable/V12.5.6.0.RCXMIXM/ with fastboot?
Is there any mechanism which prevents me from "downgrading"?
Thank you!
Edit: If possible I want to avoid EDL mode as I don't want to disassemble the phone.

can I switch from global miui to beta without having problems with anti roll back?
twrp and custom roms should be in accordance with the status of the anti-roll back system?
thanks

You can just make sure your flashing an ARB enabled ROM and later than version your using. Custom ROMs are not affected by this so dont worry just get the right recovery like orange fox
Thanks for asking me that question.
Hello experts,
I wanna downgrade from miui 11 v11.0.1.0 (QEDMIXM) to Miui11 V 11.0.7.0 (PEDMIXM), is it safe to downgrade without hardbrick? Secondly, I checked, both roms have ARB level 4 protection. Need your expert advise before going to downgrade.
Thanks in advance

I actually hope someone answers this question because this phone is very different than any other phone I have and it's hard figuring out the best way to do things on it.

The best way is to flash the stock with miflash. (Remember to select the checkbox at the bottom right on clean-all, do not flash with clean and lock otherwise lock the bootloader. To some he sent the phone in brick just this forgetfulness) I strongly advise against using twrp to flash the stock!

I thought most people or everyone really liked Xiaomi EU over stock rom. I thought EU was a cleaned up verison of stock rom basically. Does it have Google play services?

I am using xiaomi.eu at the moment.
So, xiaomi.eu is a custom rom that takes Chinese stock as a basis and adapts it to global use, like adding Google services, translations for many languages and removing all Chinese apps. I prefer it to the global stock because being based on the chinese stock it has the fastest updates and functions that xiaomi puts only in the chinese rom. Also because the global roms is developed by poco So not directly from xiaomi and it is not said that they include all the features that xiaomi includes on the Chinese stock.

Right now I'm crdroid 7.11 android 11 with twrp installed. When looking at the rom files for EU I've noticed that they have some versions that look like this xiaomi.eu_multi_HMK40_POCOF3_21.10.27_v12-12-fastboot.zip and than ones that look like this
xiaomi.eu_multi_HMK40_POCOF3_V12.5.14.0.RKHCNXM_v12-11.zip
What's the difference? And if I wanted to flash EU with Twrp from crdroid could I? Could I also just flash back to crdroid if I wanted to also? Thanks

The first is Android 12 weekly beta and can only be flashed via fastboot with the appropriate file that is inside the package.
The high is stable android 11 and can only be flashed via twrp.
I don't know if it works if the flashi from crdroid, I have not tried, it might or might not, at most if it doesn't work you install the stock with miflash and the flashi from there ...

Thank you, you have been much help I've been reading through threads and telegram for days now looking for the answers but couldn't find them. This phone is so popular things become cluttered and hard to find. I don't think I have ever seen a phone with as much development and that's surprising when I have a Nexus 6.

YES
But bootloader will remain unlocked.
If you want it locked, like virgin phone, you must use a called fastboot rom via MIFLASH tool.
Select the right rom version at XIAOMI ROm download site.
Flash it first without locking, boot your phone (you don't have to configure it, even you shouldn't because of incoming reset), and if all is good, flash it once again with locking bootloader.

There are threads here with custom recoveries for Lisa - please take a look and find/read.
Hint, SHRP or Fox - but they work fine with A11 (MIUI 12.5)
There is no custom recovery that works properly with A11 (hence with MIUI 13 as on your screenshot).
This is generally a known situation - you can go to TWRP.me and find what they say about support for A12 (all other custom recoveries take essentials from TWRP and mainly repack to different UI, add some UI features and so)
To unbrick, flash the stock recovery (hopefully, you will not need to use MiFlash to flash the whole stock firmware)
Generally be careful, do not install custom recovery, ROM, etc for Renoir to Lisa. Phones are 'similar' but they have different chipsets

So basically there is no way i can get a custom recovery for my situation?
And im unbricked so everything is alright now(also rooted)
Its strange that there is no custome recovery for my specifications
I am running a EU (i think) note 8 pro with a global 12.5.7 official rom, it has way too many glitches i don't want to deal with and i wanted to change rom, i once tried and bricked it, i recovered it a bit after and that-s how i got 12.5.7, what's the safest way to mod it and what rom is the safest? I was looking at either CrDroid or CorvusOS, which one would you recommend?
To be fair, I have the stock rom, version 12.5.7 and is the most stable version I ve encountered. I have not considered any custom ROM yet because they all seem to lack behind the stock rom. Sure, you get better looks and the vibe of stock debloated rom. Then again you lose a lot of features, Bluetooth range is abysmal and performance is worse compared to stock. And don't get me started on hard bricking risks. My advice would be to make a full reset and stick to the stock rom.

1/You can find many free unbrick hardbrick videos for Redmi note 8 pro. And it's simple to unbrick (in my opinion).
2/You got brick because you didn't follow flash guide.
Example:
- You flash 12.5.x firmware based rom when you are using Miui 12.0.x
- You didn't format data or format data error
- ...
3/Each custom rom has it own support group in each thread. If you want recommend, join there to ask or try it yourself.
Pixel experience imo is good I used to use ppui but rip
