Possibility to use EDL to downgrade - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

Hello, i see that this device is also listed for anti rollback which you can't flash back to Global Beta via mi flash without bricking. Now.. my question is... Is it possible to use EDL with authorization to go back to Oreo firmware from Android Pie since that flash mode has higher privilege.
Reason why i ask is because like this device, I have a Mi Max 3 which also is listed for antirollback and both Android Pie and Oreo has ARB 4.

You can flash via fastboot as well with no issues, as both Oreo and pie fw are arb4

I can confirm that. I recently moved from miui pie to miui global stable Oreo. No brick.

Uh, nono, I bricked when i went back to beta. So i had someone help me to flash from Global to Beta using EDL by remote. That is why i asked, either way i have beta now.

Reason i ask this question is because you guys have anti-rollback.. and you guys have more Roms than Mi Max 3. We have anti 4 now and flashing TWRP is not working. Yet your device and Mi8 that is on the anti-rollback list too along with Mi Max 3...are able to have a lot more Roms and working TWRP. I ask Mi8 forum same question because they have been advancing as well.

Global Rom Questions

Hi
I have just received my Mi Max 126gb Helium from GeekBuying.Com and it has been pre-loaded with the MIUI Global 7.3.1 Stable.
My questions are:
1. I didn't think there was a global rom for helium or is that just MIUI8 global?
2. Can I flash MIUI8 over this version and retain OTA?
3. Can I trust the version that is on?
Thanks for any help.
Paul.
1. Fake, no official global rom for helium yet
2. I guess you can(not a miui user)
3. I wouldn't
Yeah, you most likely have tampered MIUI firmware on it. You can try to flash MIUI8 via the updater app, but you'll probably get an error. You can try to unlock your bootloader and flash the official MIUI ROM via fastboot or flash via EDL mode with locked bootloader.

The seller flashed the system.img from the Hydrogen Global rom on it so you have the google apps. To go back to stock you have to flash the latest Chinese Helium ROM (either the Miui 8 developer rom or the Miui 7.5 stable rom.) Then I would unlock your bootloader then flash twrp and either my Rooted Global Rom for the Helium or something based on CM13.
Thanks for all your replies, I appreciate it.
In the end I used DoomSlayer's method of getting TWRP on without unlocking BL. I then installed ajsmsg78's global MIUI8 rom and it's all sorted.
Recommend the global rom from ajsmsg78. Looks and feels great.
Thanks again to all who replied.

Is that still the case? I have a mix 2 with MIUI Global 10.0 stable 10.0.2 .0. Does it still not have anti rollback protection? Would I be safe to unlock the bootloader and install any custom ROM?

There's info on it in this thread of mine, and you can always unlock and flash custom ROMs. Just make sure that when you go back to MIUI that you flash MIUI via fastboot or MiFlash and not TWRP. Also use MiFlash to switch between MIUI beta and stable and when downgrading MIUI. But there is no problem with custom ROMs.

Thank you so much for the response. Your thread looks like it is jam-packed with some really useful information. I'm certainly going to read through it. In any case, in a nutshell does this mean that my phone currently does not have the anti roll back protection on it?

It has, but you can unlock and install custom ROMs. But if you go back to official MIUI, flash it via MiFlash or fastboot.

Hi, to be continue with my doubt...
I want flash Xiaomi.eu in my device, however i afraid brick, becouse the diferentes versions between Xiaomi.eu and Global and release version.
So, i mounted comparation the Miui installed with future Xiaomi.eu (for installation).
Seemingly no have problems in install Xiaomi.eu, becouse the version selected is Miui 10.8 with Android Oreo and Xiaomi.eu not apply all firmware.
In below have links for imagens comparete two versions.
https://pasteboard.co/I9EPMPd.png
https://pasteboard.co/I9EPZdh.png
The thread forum in Xiaomi.eu about this version above, has closed. So i dont get experiences.
Whats your opnions about installation Xiaomi.eu in my device with version Global_V10.2.1.0.OEDMIFK with ARB 4?
PS.
My device has TWRP (by @nijel8) and unlock bootloader.
Thank you very much.
Android PIE and Oreo have the same ARB index. The difference is in MIUI 9 and it can not be returned to him.
What to use xiaomi.eu will not help you. I used several times but always returned to Global dev. In my opinion, Global is better and more stable. Xiaomi.eu on android PIE has different problems is not as stable as before, always has some problems.
I read that the stable Oreo was a good version but I did not use it.
Install and try, if it does not meet your expectations, make a full wipe and install the Global versions by Miflash.

Yes, i agree.
In conclusion, the differences between xiaomi.eu_multi_MIMAX3_8.11.1_v10-8.1 and miui_MIMAX3Global_V10.2.1.0.OEDMIFK_885d8903d6_8.1 are small.
I maked more one comparations between two versions ... the files in "META-INF\com\android\metadata"
https://pasteboard.co/I9G3G7c.png
I'll stay in my version for now ... I debloat and its was good. I will wait longer to upgrade to a more stable version.
Thank you very much!!
Oreo will not be developed any more, so this is the most stable version.
Wait for the new stable version of PIE Global. They probably corrected the errors from the previous version.

Can I flash a different region firmware?

I want to install Dot OS on my RN8 - India, I'm currently using QCOINXM official ROM, Android 10, but Dot OS 5.1 is a11-based, my question is: Do I need a11 firmware? Can I flash a11 firmware from China (RCOCNXM)? Or do I need to wait for the India a11 update and use that firmware?

you can flash any region fw as long as it's for ginkgo

also this is not the right place to ask !

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.
