Yes, download XiaomiTool and follow the instructions.

First you need recovery image - It's here

I had no problems.
MiTools worked perfectly.
When my cell phone arrived it was with shop rom.
I activated USB debugging on Mi6 and connected to the computer (Windows 10, x64).
But in my Redmi2, MiTools did not work. I had to use MiFlash.

instruction to install xiaomi.eu rom to mi mix 3

Got my mix 3 today.
can someone guide me through installing the xiaomi.eu rom.
I already unlocked the bootloader. need to know all steps after that. maybe with links to twrp,...
thanks in advance

It is not booting for now (bootloop), wait for the next updates. Maybe the global release in some days will change the game.
Edit: Here is link for TWRP, it works, but is in chinese (you can change language to english). For me it also looks like there is some kind of problem with encryption, after format data there should be no problem.

Yes the problem is the rom is encrypted nothing to do with TWRP, after format the files are readable but as soon as you install MIUI rom it becomes encrypted

Not at all. Sideloading is not different from flashing. So the result is the same.

yep there's really not that much changes, just ui revamp and ****ty animations plus they messed up the ui size so I had to manually set it to 380 dpi in developer options

Is there a wat to go back to Miui 10? This update is a mess, and I lost the wireless display function.

if they haven't nerf the function of MIUI OTA, then you can downgrade by downloading MIUI 10 ROM then use OTA ota to install it (tap repeatedly on logo from system update to enable installation from local storage)

welp, guess they removed the function to downgrade using OTA, then you can only downgrade by flashing the ROM, and your data won't be safe
edit: by safe I mean, you need to format your internal storage

AFAIK, you can flash ROM with MiFlash even with locked bootloader, at least this works for older device, you need to search in this forum to make sure.

Why are you using the full recovery package? You didn't received the OTA update to MIUI11? It's already released for Global Redmi 7.

You can downgrade only if the bootloader is unlocked.
If so, use https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/flash-tool-guide-use-xiaomi-flash-tool.4262425/

Either you use, if there is one, the TRWP with recovery rom or Miflash or the bat file included in the Fastboot rom by modifying the script containing the ARB lines.

I doubt there is a working TWRP intended for the mi pad 5 as of the moment. I'm curious about modifying the bat file included in the official rom, will try to look for this one. Thanks

First try without Miflash (Bat file).
Me, I don't bother, I delete the lines containing ARB.

Fortunately yes, try my method.
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Download official mi flash

5. Use mi flash using A11 rom
6. Patiently wait for downgrade

General How to Install Windows 11 on Xiaomi Pad 5! Tutorial from Gizmochina

It’s been more than a year since the Xiaomi Pad 5 is here with all its high-end specifications consisting of Snapdragon 860 and Snapdragon 870 on respective models. Surprisingly, the Android tablet from Xiaomi can now run Windows 11 without any major bugs or flaws. As spotted on Geekbench running Windows 11 earlier this year, the build is now live for all the users via WOA Msmnile Project aka Mindows listed on Github. The Mindows project is been under development for the past several months.
............
Now, the user can flawlessly use Windows 11 on Xiaomi Pad 5. However, we recommend getting a USB Type-C adapter for use as a charger and connecting other utilities at the same time.
The performance will be a bit slow in comparison with Android on the Xiaomi Pad 5, but it is worth considering if you want the best multitasking.

if you can get to fastboot, try to unlock again, or flash china firmware.
If these options don't work, you will need to force it to EDL mode and have a dev account to flash it again. I find someon from tokyo, at 4 in the morning who could help me when I did this.
Your bootloader locked because you flashed stock rom and haven't changed the default value of "clear all and lock". happened to me as well. that, or you played with the tool and locked it in the BL tab.
