I used the pitchblack recovery method to go down from ARB4 MIUI roms to ARB 3 MIUI roms by modifying MIUI roms and removing ARB so i tried 9.2.4 and 9.2.13 through this method and faced same camera issue everything was working fine except camera. When i try to open camera it crashes and not even able to use camera in other apps so is it just me or others who tried same method to bypass ARB are facing same issue too?
Is it because i am going down from Oreo to Nougat and the bypassing method is not removing the latest firmware files so camera isn't working on old MIUI roms?
Hi bro, i m same here. Do you find a solution ?I really want to use this firmware.
When i want to view permissions of camera it crash too.
Thank you in advance
Try to download 9.2.4 and 9.2.13 fastboot roms and copy persist.img from it. Flash via fastboot:
fastboot flash persist persist.img

These sensors are not working after the 9.2.5.0 update.
Is there any fix for this sensors.
Same problem is there in my phone too...
some solution? I have same problem... it seems that we need to flash a new persist.img but on 9.5.19.0 is anti 4 and on the fastboot rom, the persist.img seems to be ante 3 or something because there is an error trying to flash it
If anyone on 9.5.19.0 could make a copy of his/her persist img and share with us could be usseful

Sorry man! I haven't unlocked bootloader and I don't have my laptop at the moment but I can provide fastboot link for 9.5.19
http://bigota.d.miui.com/V9.5.19.0.OEIMIFA/whyred_global_images_V9.5.19.0.OEIMIFA_20180706.0000.00_8.1_global_26115bcec2.tgz Hope it helps!
Same problem
I just bought with default ROM 9.5.13
Hey guys, I am new to whyred , flashed alot on other phones tho. Got some questions regarding the process of things I have to do to not mess up. I would do it like this:
0. I am on 9.5.19. miui global stable.
1. Unlock bootloader after 360 hours (hopefully)
2. Boot into Fastboot, boot up twrp image via command and then flash twrp via twrp.
3. Do I have to flash lazyflasher when I flash magisk? Which version of magisk is recommended atm? 1600?
4. After flashing one (or both, I don't know) I would go with flashing aosip or havoc (which is better on battery, features and over all performance?).
5. Do I have to flash some firmware or anything?
6. Since I am on Anti 4 (probably, didn't check yet but I am quite sure since I updated on 9.5.19) do I have to be aware of something else important?
Thank you guys for every help. If my answers will get answered and everything runs smooth sailing I will write a noob/starting guide to focus the knowledge a bit more. It seems really clustered in this forum
Do not flash any firmware for now. Since your are in 9.5.19 it has anti 4 enabled.. flashing firmware over anti 4 will brick your device.
Unlock bootloader
Boot to twrp and flash twrp
Wipe system cache dataa and flash custom ROM and gapps
Reboot to system
Reboot to twrp and flash magisk

I still at 9.2.13 didn't update to 9.5.19 in that case I can flash and roll back to any firmware below antilock right?

Yes. If you are in 9.2.13 build then you have to flash firmware along with custom ROM.
But if you are running 9.5.19 build do not flash any firmware. Just ROM and gapps is enough

Which firmware are you referring to? You mean I can roll back or do I have update to certain firmware to flash custom Roms?

Yes you have to flash firmware file recommended by custom rom developer to avoid problems while using custom ROM. And its not related to anti rollback protection.
All the firmware recommended by developers doesnt have anti rollback protection but you shouldn't flash firmware file if you are using 9.5.19 stable build or 8.7.12 beta build because these build contains ARP and flashing firmware in ARP enabled device will brick your mobile

I'm a bit confused here. I have always been under the impression that firmware = ROM (with other phone brands) and they seem to be discussed interchangeably. Now with my Xiaomi Note 5 Pro, I hear about these as separate items a lot. What is the difference between firmware and the custom ROM, at least in the Xiaomi world? How do I know when I am dealing with one or the other?
TIA,

Your understanding is correct firmware is nothing but a ROM, but in custom ROM, developers dont include bootloader (In custom ROM world firmware contains bootloader related stuffs) in their OS because they will make use of bootloader from stock ROM thats why developer recommended firmware files so that their ROM works perfectly without any problem.
I might be wrong but this is how things work here. If you are on lastest global MIUI beta ROM then you dont have to flash recommended firmware file by custom ROM developer

So when people talk about flashing firmware, they're really saying to flash/change the bootloader? Does the bootloader have a name, version number we would reference, or it's just 'the bootloader for MIUI Global 9..5.19.0'?
If I understand you correctly, if someone offers a ROM with and without firmware, you could install the ROM without firmware and it would work ok, but installing with the firmware (changing the bootloader) would make the ROM work better? Or just do the ROM with firmware if you have problems with the version that didn't install the firmware/bootloader?
I'm on MIUI Global 9.5.19.0. (just normal ROM), but with unlocked bootloader, twrp, Magisk installed (I can't work without my Titanium Backup Pro!)

Most of the firmware recommended by developers contains older bootloader (Antirollback protection version 3)
Since you are in 9.5.19 your bootloader has Antirollback protection (ARP 4) so if you try to flash older firmware then your mobile will get bricked so avoid flashing any firmware recommended by developer because you already have latest bootloader
Firmware name will be based on global beta ROM version
hi! I'm having problems with wi-fi and mobile connection and I am on a custom ROM at the moment
my question is:
if I flash **complete** MIUI ROM (latest 10.0) without locking the phone using Xiaomi tool, would I still be able to install TWRP and custom ROMs without bricking the phone?
I am not interested in previous versions of MIUI so obviously I wouldn't be downgrading MIUI versions
Yes you can, remember that custom ROM not have firmware so your arb status will not be touched

yes use fastboot rom and miflash to get back to miui 10. thats ARB4. remeber to tick clean all in miflash dont relock bootloader. and then you can install twrp and any custom roms.
I have redmi note 5 pro and I have installed the latest orange fox recovery in it. Please tell me how can i downgrade my miui 11.0.3.0 to miui 10.2.1.0 oreo without bricking my device.
Thanks in advance
I'm not sure (wait for a proper answer) but I think ROMs from MIUI 9.5.19.0 and above are ARB4. I recommend that you flash a fastboot ROM that include the proper firmware for Oreo.
Fastboot ROMs: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/miui/whyred/
yes I recomend fastboot way too, not recovery's
I will like to ask people why recovery downgrading is risky as with custom recovery u can have n number of possibilities

Thanks buddy for ur help, I successfully downgraded to 10.2.1.0.
One more question,what is the minimum ROM version that i can downgrade to (I have ARB 4)?
Now your ARB version is 4.
You can download the offical ROM image package and exract it.
Then open the file called "flash_all.bat". Look for "set CURRENT_ANTI_VER" in this file and look at the ARB version of the package.
If the anti level is 4 , it's safe to downgrade to this version.
If it's below 4, DO NOT flash the ROM or your phone will be bricked.

Try flashing a stable Fastboot rom with Miflash without re-locking the bootloader.

Nope
do not use the TWRP which only flashes recovery roms which unlike the Fastboot rom does not contain all the imgs.
Recovery just for system updates or troubleshooting.

Yes, i installed cam app third, but it was the same, when the error happened, the torch is hidden, can not use too, i read this problem on xiaomi.eu, and i flashed the fixed camera rom through twrp, ver 13.0.8.0. I thought the hardware issue, but i need to refer to someone.
Edit: sensor proximity, accelerate, gyro is damaged too, i dont know could it be related to? Hardware
To be sure this is a HW problem, flash this rom with Miflash.
Package Name: apollo_global_images_V12.0.3.0.QJDMIXM_20200926.0000.00_10.0_global_189932d414.tgz

If you respect the method of the thread no risk, the important thing is not to re-lock the bootloader.
You may have an ARB problem, if so use the script "flash_all.bat"included in the folder included in the TZG file and you can start with this method without Miflash.
