Questions regarding Antirollback on whyred - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

I just bought a Redmi Note 5 Pro. It shipped with unlocked bootloader and MIUI Global 9.5.19.0, ARB version is 4 (checked with fastboot code)
I managed to install twrp and magisk with dummy.img antirollback bypass
Now i want to move to custom rom like AOSP/LOS
Do i need to do anything else besides clean install the rom?
Pls help because the previous device(redmi 3s) doesnt have anti rollback which is very easy to move rom
P/s: sorry for my broken english

Redmi 6 pro with ROM A2 Lite is possibility?

it would be possible to load the global rom of A2 Lite in Redmi 6 pro, thanks
If it's like the Mi 5X and Mi A1 situation (and probably it is), the answer is no.
If you want to risk (but I warn you that the risk to brick your phone is high, and it's all your responsibility, you can flash the full Mi A2 Lite ROM from here via MiFlash or via fastboot. If something goes wrong you can try to flash back the Redmi 6 Pro ROM from here, always via MiFlash or fastboot.
EDIT: I downloaded the full ROMs of both phones, and after a quick comparison, I can see that they use a different partitioning scheme (classic for 6Pro, A/B type for A2L), so 99,9% a direct ROM flash won't work (just like Mi A1).
thank friend, I will not try.
I need global versión for spanish lenguaje.
thanks again for solving my question.
Why don't you use the Xiaomi.eu version?
First of all, you must unlock the bootloader of your phone.
Then you need a working TWRP. This one is confirmed working but you need to register in this German forum to download it.
Then go to Xiaomi.eu forum and download the latest beta for HM6Pro (I usually prefer the stable version, but it's not ready yet for 6Pro) and flash it via TWRP.
I have some doubt
the unlocking of the bootloader is the same as for A1 and all Xiaomi?
What is the latest beta version?
sorry for my ignorance
Very thanks.

No, for the MIUI phones this is the unlocking process (it's the tutorial for the Redmi Note 4X, but it works for every MIUI phone).
For the Android One phones (i.e. Mi A1, Mi A2 and Mi A2 Lite) the unlocking is extremely simpler.

You can find the latest beta here.
Go to the newest directory and search for the ROM with the name "xiaomi.eu_multi_HM6Pro..." (remember that HM6Pro is your phone code, while its nickname is "sakura"). If you can't find the image for your phone on the newest directory, search it on the second newest directory, and so on.
There is usually a new beta every 7 days, but you don't need to update every week if the phone is working without problems.
okay friend, I'll try. Thank you very much for the help. If I have any doubt I will bother you again.

Hi, i'm running stock android one oreo 8.1 on my Mi A2 Lite. Can i flash it with Miui rom?

No.
As I said above, you cannot flash A2 Lite ROM on Redmi 6 Pro. That means you cannot flash Redmi 6 Pro ROM on A2 Lite, too.
I would like to do the opposite. Installing the xiaomi.eu on the MiA2 Lite as I prefer MIUI over AOSP interface.
Is it possible without risks? I fear the double partition prevent me from succeding

It's not very safe to do, and 99% it will not work. But if you want to take the risk, do it. Just keep ready the daisy fastboot ROM for fixing. And don't lock the bootloader or the damage will be unrecoverable.
May be my question is stupide, but is it possible to change the partitioning scheme from A/B type to classic for example. If it will be, can changing easy the ROM? Or something else? If it possible, how can I do this?
Thank you!

I already wrote how it could be possible: flashing the Redmi 6 Pro ROM in EDL mode.
But you need permission from Xiaomi to flash in EDL mode, and you can flash only one time for account.
You can ask for permission on en.miui.com forum.
And, as I said, I would not try that on my phone.
I have already unlocked the bootloader but I have a question, and tried to install the ROM through Xiaomi miflash and I get error (miflash can not found file flash_all_lock.bat). Also read in this forum that there is possibility of bricked for version 9.6.17.0, this is true?
Any Update ? OR Any Improvement ?
O Have mi A2 Lite, Android one don't like me. Miui.eu Rock!!! Anyone port this ROM please

Really annoy xiaomi models: redmi note 5? note 5 pro? or note 5 plus? which rom?

I already bought a global version redmi note 5. all works fine. But from aliexpress it arrives in about 26 days.
I need another phone soon. So asked someone to bring one from China directly - redmi note 5.
I am going to flash the global rom by myself. But while searching online, someone said I need the redmi note 5 pro ROM, and there's also redmi note 5 ROM and redmi Note 5 plus ROM. Which one should I choose?
is it possible to flash global ROM by myself? or it will brick the phone?
anyone has the similar experience? from China version Redmi Note 5 to Global version Redmi Note 5.

On one hand there is Redmi note 5 Pro and Redmi note 5 AI. They share the codename WHYRED. Both have Snapdragon 636. Also dual camera setup. Most ROMS for whyred means they will work on both these phones.
On the other hand there is Redmi 5 Plus. It has a snapdragon 625 and a single camera. I believe the codename is VINCE for Redmi 5 plus.
new at xiaomi that if your phone is china region you cant install golbal rom. and viceversa global phone cant install china rom. i read it on miui forum. do some research on that before buyinh china region phone .

It looks like this should be redmi note 5 AI, that's how xiaomi advertises it in China. The current one global version I got from aliexpress has dual camera as well. But hardly to say it's AI or not.
Thanks for your reply. I'll download some whyred ROM to give it a go. Really scared to brick it as there is no way to unbrick but visit xiaomi service center, which has none locally here.

Really thanks for your reply. I'm going to jump on the same boat as you now. From my research, I need:
1 unlocked BL using one xiaomi account old enough (than 360 hours)
2 download global ROM from some where.
3 flash in fastboot.
Any advice on that? Is it difficult to flash? Anything I missed? Do I need turn any other options in develop mode like USB debug or anything similar?

If you plan to unlock UBL first you can flash the recovery rom via updater instead flashing via fastboot. It is more convenient if you rarely touch the pc
redmi note 5 is VINCE
redmi note 5 pro is WHYRED
so any miui rom having name mentioned VINCE is NOT for you!

Yes you need UBL before flashing recovery rom via updater. You will find 2 version of MIUI on their website, fastboot and recovery version

Normally when you are on Official stable or developer MIUI ROM, you can just download the recovery file of any other Official MIUI rom and use the updater app(just select the update package and it will start installing). It works a lot of the times. So you dont really need unlocked bootloader if this method works. Please note that it works on official MIUI roms only.
In case it doesn't work you need to unlock the bootloader. Then you have two options. Either you can use TWRP recovery to flash recovery file ROMS(usually a .zip file). Or you can use fastboot roms for which you need a pc(with miflash tool).
One ANNOYING thing about bootloader unlocking. You have to add the Mi account to your phone manually(in developer options). After that there is a cooldown of 72,360 or 720 hours depending on your phone model. Mostly its 720 hours now. After the cooldown you can unlock your bootloader.

In some places the Redmi 5 plus is known as simply the Redmi Note 5. It causes a lot of confusion.

Thanks for your clarification. I got one zip file from miui global forum download page. It looks like to be the recovery file you mentioned. Thank God I knew this from you since I thought it was the full fastboot flashable ROM. Who knows what will happen if I flash it via fastboot.
Another one from this forum is a tgz, unzip to tar. It might be the proper fastboot file but a version before anti rollback. I need to get the new phone in hand to check if I can flash it nor not.
I got my mi account e months ago. Should be OK to flash without waiting 720h. Hope so at least.

You need Unlocked bootloader to flash fastboot ROM. MiFlash will throw error message saying this cannot be flashed in locked bootloader.
One advantage of MiFlash is, software checks bootloader index and if you try to flash older version arb3 ROM(without antirollback) then software throws error message, unable to flash because bootloader index(anti3) is lesser than the present bootloader index(anti4)
Most of the people bricked their device while flashing older version of MIUI ROM in TWRP because twrp recovery will not check bootloader index value
Downloaded recovery ROM name starts with HMNote5ProGlobal
and downloaded fastboot ROM name starts with WHYRED these ROMs are for Redmi note 5 Pro (Indian version) and Redmi Note 5 (Global)
In India we have Redmi note 5 (Redmi 5 plus global) codenamed Vince

Unfortunately, that wont work. My mi account is really old(3 years, unlocked bootloader of note 3 and 3 pro). Still I had to wait for 360h after adding mi account to my new Note 5 AI. And there is a new rule afaik and the waiting period is 720 hours now. Which translates to about a month. It is really frustrating, I know.
One more thing, "adding mi account" is not just logging in your mi account of your phone. You have to add the account in developer options.

Okay! Here's what I did to get it working!
When first flashing from Redmi Note 12 Turbo China ROM to Poco F5 EEA ROM, I used flash_all_lock.bat. This did not work. However, when I used MiFlash Unlock afterwards, then it booted!
Anyone trying this, please use the Flash_all.bat script or do what I did explained above.
At this point I can confirm that Poco F5 Global ROM works on Redmi Note 12 Turbo

You were lucky not to brick your device with Miflash using the flash_all_lock.bat file.
On a CN device always use the flash_all.bat file to flash a rom other than CN.

Yep, but you have to unlock the bootloader first then use Miflash.
Your phone will not be better with an EEA rom (rom for Europe), for example you will have a limited sound volume.
The best (in my humble opinion) are the Xiaomi Eu roms.
