Q&A
Does TWRP from that chinese forum presist after flashing ?
No. Phone will go back to original RECOVERY after 2nd restart.
Does that TWRP is functional with REDMI NOTE 8 PRO ?
Some functions may work, some not.
Installing root with this TWRP will cause bootloop.
When something go wrong....
If you end up with BOOTLOOP, for any reason ( Magisk etc. )
Just flash boot.img from FASTBOOT + RECOVERY+BOOT and bring your phone back to life.
This boot.img was extracted from firmware linked above.

So, I guess we have found a way to install twrp and it persists after flashing.
How about magisk? Does it still lead to bootloop efter following this process with twrp?
And how do we do a system update after at have twrp installed?

Ok, thanks for reporting. I guess that Magisk just does not support our phone yet.
I have also tested Magisk v20 and got bootloop.

Are you using the note 8 pro?
If yes, then it is fully supported by mi flash? I think it's the safest way to flash stock rom right now because you don't have to unlock the boot loader just to flash global or china rom.

I think that you have to unlock the BL first before you can access fastboot flashing, even with mi flash.l

The ROM is based on the Chinese beta version 9.10.17 Miui 11 and the Magisk is integrated into the ROM. Just flashed the archive with ROM from TWRP. I do not have a direct link to ROM - I downloaded it from the OTA server. You need to ask on the developers site.

I am using the recovery in this thread.

Well i flashed the stock boot, stock recovery and stock vbmeta, after that the notification of phone being rooted has gone. I think the problem was due to vbmeta because i had already flashed the stock boot and recovery but didn't flash the stock vbmeta. Anyways thank you so much for your help. Now i can go and update the ota. Thank you again for your help.

How to downgrade Realme X to Android 9/ Color OS 6 from Android 10 /Realme UI?

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 had the same problem. My phone always ended in a bootloop after trying to install Pixel Experience (around three attempts until I got it working).
This guide is the proper installation method for Pixel Experience: How to install Pixel Experience on the Xiaomi RedMi Note 8 Pro UnOfficial Noob Guide
Also, read the posts right after the guide, and you'll notice the many congratulations for it (because it works).

Correct, but there are actually two TWRP's. One is non-CFW, the other enabled-CFW.
Follow the guide I posted and you'll be OK.
