Hello devs,
I upgraded my Realme X to android 10 using OTA.
Although there are no serious bugs, the UI has minor glitches now and then. But the camera has lost its quality significantly. It is taking comparatively bad photos now when compared to Android 9.
Can You kindly write a guide on how to downgrade to Android 9? It will be really appreciated.
Thank You in advance.

Bootloader is locked. Can't I flash older versions?
I have the same query. Any help would be highly appreciated.
Bootloader is locked. I just purchased the phone and upgraded to Realme UI. Now I want to downgrade to colorOS so I can either use it or flash the phone to other ROM(s) which is completely impossible as of now in Realme UI.
U can unlock bootloader using In depth test app and adb but u can't use TWRP because TWRP is not supported in android 10.
What about fastboot? Can we flash Android 9 using fastboot? Have you successfully downgraded?

Hi
I've bricked my realme x and that lead me to start searching ow to unbrick it, and with that i can tell you there's a way to make a downgrade of the android version.
The first thing you need to have is the .ofp file of the software version you want (if you have the india/global version you will not have any problem finding it, but if you have the chinese version you probably could not find it *i've been searching a lot for this file, if you find it, please let me know*)
once you have the ofp file you need the flashing tool of oppo, known as msmdownload tool, the issue with this is the tool will ask you for username and password, because its for oppo workers, and a lot of patched versions don't reconize the file.
If you made this far its pretty simple, select the ofp file, connect the device pressing volumen + and volumen -, and push in the icon of flash.
you can do it in another way, unlocking the bootloader (theres a tutorial in this forum), and then flashing a recovery (you migth flash a custom rom first via adb/fastboot) a zip file with the twrp, and then using the flashable zip of color OS
I hope this help you, but if you're not very mastered in this i reccomend u let realme work of improving the rom or using a gcam

you have to flash the recovery after flashing another rom
thats why i suggest you flashing a custom rom via ADB and then flashing the color os rom

I understand that with thins new update it becomes impossible to downgrade to previous versions of MIUI but how about custom roms like lineage? Or installing twrp and magisk? There is a lot of info scattered but i would like to get some answers and update OP with something like a FAQ of do and Do not to make it easier for everybody
*Work in Progress*
-Miui 10
- From 8.7.10 onward flashing TWRP is impossible but booting into TWRP is possible from Fastboot using "fastboot boot recovery.img"
- There is one report of a successful Treble Lineage Flash ( take it with a grain of salt )

Yes we need to know if possible flash custom roms or not. If yes the anti rollback isnt a big deal.
I updated to latest global beta.......now i cant flash twrp recovery now because of this anti rollback.
in my expiriance with LG G4 with antirollback. i could flash any custom rom aosp laos. just stock rom from LG i could not . qfuse will blow and brick phone.. this was only on LG firmware stock roms. not sure if its the same in xiaomi.
TWRP can be installed
Im currently on Miui 10 8.7.12 global beta
I have TWRP 3.2.1 installed along with magisk 16.0 :good:
Everything works fine
Have no intention of going back to previous builds

did you install before or after updating?
Installed it after as twrp was replaced by stock.
After rooting it works fine
Anti roll back is already in moto phones. Only problem is rollback to stock only you can flash 8.1 to 7.1 custom ROMs. Even in stock you can skip bootloader files and flash to rollback with upgraded bootloader. Its new to xiaomi.
So Anti-rollback is no big deal because we can install TWRP + custom roms then? Some people say no (they can't, with little to no evidence) and others say yes (with decent evidence). Do we know what's up, I read comments telling it's basically 50:50. Is it device dependant, or do we need some exploits in terms of drivers/software usage etc? Thanks for your reply!
I'm also searching whether we can install custom rom or not ?
My RN5 AI came with stable MIUI 9.5.22.0. When I tried to install TWRP, to begin the process of flashing RR, I got the anti-rollback message and TWRP install failed.

Did you check the version of anti-rollback via fastboot (fastboot getvar anti)?
What was your method of flashing? Minimal adb and fastboot flash recovery redwolf.img and then boot into it, or just booting into it and flashing redwolf.img from the recovery itself? Did you use lazyflasher afterwards, or is it even necessay with redwolf? Which version of Redwolf did you use?
Thanks for your effort and sorry for all of these questions, I really hope we can help the community out. Plz tell then if you succeed in flashing a custom rom

So nothing has changed regarding flashing recovery and custom roms? I mean, people managed to flash twrp/redwolf the normal way --> doing the same with custom roms. I don't think we have a problem here but still this new implementation makes me nervous...
Edit: huh, no just flashing the antibypass image before doing the twrp in case you are on anti rollback > 3. Just with "fastboot getvar anti" the version, if you are on 3 you are good, if you are on 4 use the method the link I guess...

Great post!
I still have to rebrand and update to emui8.
Looks like a huge job.
I'm using this rom since 3 weeks ago and is so smooth and daily driver.
PD: Would be nice if you reference the original post of @Askuccio_DROID on P8 Lite forum:
[ROM] [PIE 9.0.0_r10] [OFFICIAL] PixysOS for Huawei Hi6250
Thanks for sharing here
After installing the ROM, you can easily get into bootloader by selecting bootloader during the reboot option in twrp. It's a bit easier than trying to get the buttons & timing right to get into bootloader to flash the stock recovery.
Hi sir thank you for this guide always wanted to flash this pixy os but no detailed instructions for pur device..
Im just a newbie here..
Can you help me find the link for the recovery for my device.
im on BLL-L22?
anyone pls help me
BLL-L22 ? You mean stock recovery? Are you on stock EMUI 8? India? If you have update.app u can easily extract it. But if you can't then I will do it for you once the download finishes.

Oh man....I think I need to rebrand first for this then get the emui 8 im still running on emui 5...im from the Philippines..
so the stock recovery should be on the updater.app the ill just extract that file then I need to look for "recovery.img"?
is that how its done?
Well first you need to update to EMUI 8. You will probably have to download Indian or China version of EMUI 8 from Firmware Finder. I suggest China. Once downloaded just rebrand/update. Now in the update.zip you will find an update.app it is around 2-3 GB. Download Huawei Firmware Extractor and then extract Recovery_ramdis.img That's it. Now flash it normally.
Reading your post I conclude you are on EMUI 5 correct? What is your model number? It might help with the rebranding.
Is the moble metwork standby battery drain bug in this rom?

Also recovery is flashed through fastboot using either powershell or command prompt through your PC
Go-to the above link and download HWOTA and the three update files. Extract HWOTA to the C Drive of your PC. Rename them as suggested in thread. Now transfer the files to Download folder inside HWOTA 7 folder. Now boot your phone into Bootloader and connect to the PC. Now run update.bat it will flash TWRP recovery. Once it says waiting for device to boot into TWRP, disconnect the device and hold Power & Volume Up to boot into TWRP. Once in there reconnect to Computer and press enter twice.
Now select:
Update from-> using script-> change location-> BLN-AL20. It will flash OEM-Info and then ask for your bootloader unlock code and continue. Now wait patiently for it to finish. Once flashing is complete select to keep Bootloader unlocked.
Upon first boot you won't have network signal. Solution is in the linked thread but Don't ignore it and fix signal first then after that flash Pixys OS by following OP.
Now to extract Stock Recovery follow these:
Extract the main update.zip
Download Huawei Update Extractor from XDA. Search for it.
Launch Huawei Update Extractor and go to Settings and disable first option. Now press three dots to browse and navigate to extracted folder and select Update.app
Double click on Recovery_Ramdis.img and extract it to desktop. You will get animage file and another one. Delete the other one. Now flash image file as you would flash TWRP. If you need more help, Just ask.
One question, can I transition from Resurrection Remix Oreo? Or do I have to flash EMUI 8 again?
Hello,
I am using an Honor 6X model number BLN-L21 running Emui 5.0.1.
Phone has unlocked bootloader and is rooted.
Since is unlocked OTA updates are no longer working so I am stuck on 5.0.1.
If I understood correctly I have first to upgrade to Emui 8.0 stock fw and then pass to this custom rom.
Could you please write me a small recap/tutorial I can follow to jump my phone in Emui 8?
Thanks,
Andrea.

Yes you can but to be on the safe side I would advise to restore EMUI 8 first. Though you can go directly if you wish.

First you have to downgrade to Android V9, i don't remember which MIU Version that is.
@mxpower, this is strictly not true, I have been able to install Pixel Experience ROM straight from the Global ROM V12.0.3.0.QGGMIXM A10 without needing to downgrade first.
I followed this CFW migration guide correctly (method 2) with no bootloops and all working correctly.
@perlene You probably flashed the wrong TWRP version, to be safe, Flash full MIUI firmware from SP Flash Tools or via fastboot and start over again
Same problem, I have tried few different twrps since yesterday, same keep bootlooping!! every try after flashed with full Miui firmware from Mi flash, still the same.

ok bro ill try this method thanks a lot and i will feedback if what is the result thank you
I am not responsible for any brick.
I tested this guide myself and decided to share it.
Make a backup before this guide because you will lose your data!
The unlock method has been updated and now you can unlock the bootloader more easily without the risk of bricking after an OTA and without changing the bootloader.
Now you can safely unlock the bootloader using mtkclient.
Link: https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient
TWRP can be installed via mtkclient or manually from rooted Android.
TWRP Download link: https://github.com/XRedCubeX/twrp_meizu_m5c/releases
IF you unlocked the bootloader with the old method you can follow these steps:
1) Download the attached package.
2) Download OTA zip from flyme, link: http://www.flymeos.com/firmwarelist?modelId=70&type=1
3) Download the latest version of SP Flash Tool.
4) Download MTKClient and follow the instructions to install it.
5) Power off the phone and keep unplugged it from PC.
6) Open SP Flash Tool, select the downloaded package and select all partitions, then press the download button, don't plug phone for now.
7) Boot to recovery with vol +, plug the phone on PC, depending on recovery, TWRP or stock, use adb sideload or put update.zip in internal memory and install the zip.
8) Let the phone reboot or reboot it manually.
9) Now start the flash from SP Flash tool automatically, let it finish.
10) After the flash, unplug the phone and reboot into recovery.
11) Paste the update.zip in the phone and flash it.
12) After reboot, let your phone reboot into android and power off.
13) You can follow the guide to unlock bootloader with mtkclient.
FAQ:
A) But will I lose the data with this guide?
Yes.
Make sure to back up your data in any case!
B) But this guide is a bit different than usual, where is "fastboot oem unlock"? Or "fastboot flashing unlock"?
Meizu has not implemented an unlock command and in this case to unlock the bootloader we have to use a tool that makes us change the unlock status.
C) Are there Custom ROMs?
There is only one custom ROM for this device, the Lineage OS 14 but I advise against using it because it has a bit of a bug but I haven't had more time to work on it yet.
D) But wasn't the guide different?
It has been updated with a better method with more advantages.
E) My device is in Hard Brick! How can I solve?
There are various types of Hard Brick and it depends from situation to situation.
F) I have installed Lineage OS 14 but I am not satisfied, I want to go back to Flyme!
Flash update.zip from official website.
G) Can I relock the bootloader?
From MTKClient readme:
for relocking use:
python mtk da seccfg lock

Click to collapse
H) TWRP? I am interested in Device Tree, where is the link?
Here: https://github.com/XRedCubeX/twrp_meizu_m5c
I) I have a Meizu A5 (Chinese M5c) will it work on it?
I can't assure you anything but it could work, the only way to be sure is to test on a Meizu A5.
J) Can I flash twrp from fastboot?
Fastboot refuses to flash partitions, strangely, I don't know if downgrade or anything changes the situation but for now I was able to flash it with mtkclient.
I can remove the FlameOs from the Meizu M5c and install a custom rom. So far I haven't found any rom for this device?

You unplugged the device while it was formatting, consequently it no longer has the bootloader, that error means that the device needs an authorization file that unfortunately only meizu has, shortly if I can try to release a tool to unbrick it in cases similar to these

It's a shame .. I hope you can really release this tool, so I can revive my phone. Thank you.
You can make a video on youtube showing the procedure on the Meizu M5c. Installing Twrp and LineageOs 14? Just to make sure it works

For now I can't make the video because I can't release the Lineage because I'm fixing some bugs and I want to do some checks before releasing it publicly

Ok i found a working guide, tried on my M5c and it works:
Search on YouTube: flash mtk without da ,
You will find a video called, just exactly as I write here: "How to flash MTK secure boot devices without a custom DA" and follow the video tutorial for unbrick your device.
P.S:Obviously when the guide ends you flash the ROM from SP flash tool as you normally would

XRed_CubeX, I followed the tutorial from start to finish. I used the SP Flash Tool to install the M5c stock ROM, the ROM was flashed 100%, but after disconnecting the USB cable the phone did not turn on.

Have you flashed the Stock ROM or the Engineering ROM? I remind you that even if you have flashed the eng rom only once previously, you can no longer return to the flyme bootloader so use the normal stock ROM but you will have to flash the Engineering rom

Well, I flashed the stock ROM a second time, using the Firmware Upgrade option, and it worked. My phone turned on and I'm in the initial setup screen.
By the way, this Engineering ROM is the ROM you shared above? Do you think it is stable enough to be used? Maybe another day I'll install it, with care to not do anything wrong again

Yes, the ROM in this thread is ROM engineering, about the stability I can't tell you why I haven't tested it, the main purpose FOR ME was to get the bootloader unlock with this ROM, if you want to switch to ROM engineering you CAN install the flyme after installed the Engineering ROM but you must always modify the OTA zip so that some partitions do not flash but if you are interested I will talk about it in more detail and maybe I will give you a hand to flash flyme safely on bootloader engineering

Actually, the ROM I installed with SP Flash Tools was not the update.zip from the official Flyme OS website. I downloaded the stock rom from needrom.
I have done this several times before.
But now, strangely I can no longer update to the latest version. The version I'm running is Flyme 6.0.2.0G. I tried to download the update.zip file and install it manually by clicking on it, and it appeared "corrupted file". I also tried to use the Update application and "network error" appeared. But everything else is working perfectly.

Are you working on a custom Lineage OS ROM for this device? I'm interested, when you can publish it.. Do you have a prediction of when you will be able to release that ROM?

Ok, I'll explain in detail how it works: In the guide you will have read that you cannot return to the flyme using the stock rom or an unmodified OTA. This is a tip because once you flash the Engineering ROM, the engineering bootloader (which is essential for unlocking) will also be flashed, but the problem is that if you flash the stock bootloader (the flyme one, the one you surely have when you get the phone), the device for a reason unknown to me, probably the Engineering ROM modifies something in the device (?) and then goes into brick if you try to return to the flyme bootloader. To flash an OTA flyme on TWRP, you must first have some precautions: you must take the OTA on your computer (or a file explorer capable of editing zip files) and remove the following files: lk.bin preloader.bin (it will have a name longer but you still have to remove that) and tz.bin / trustzone.bin. Done like this, now the OTA becomes safe to install, you install it from TWRP, at the end of the flash it will give you an error but it is because it does not find the files we have removed but we can safely ignore it because it will have successfully installed the flyme on the device.
Regarding lineage: I'm still working on it a bit and gradually I'm discovering bugs. I already warn you that the camera will not work in the Lineage, I have tried in every way to try to make it work but it does not want to go, I have asked for help everywhere but no one has been able to answer so I do not know what to do, for the rest I want to keep a little longer the ROM under test to fix the remaining bugs

Unlock your device. Flash the china rom of 11. Root it and install this module throw magisk. Type 7 times on the miui logo in the update settings. Download the china recoveryy rom beta 12 on the root of your tablet. Select the three dot on the right and choose update from a local package. Choose the rom china beta 12 and wait to install it. You can root the 12 too if you want. You can find the guides of every point in this forum. Root, unlock, how to flash rom ecc...
Edit: there is a fastboot rom from the beta 12. You can install it directly throw xiaomi flash tool or throw the adb command, without to install before the china 11.
