Hello guys,
Today i am going to unlock (Official way) my device and going to try AOSP 5.1.1 V4.
My doubt is
1) If i want to revert back to Miui, If i use fastboot rom and flash full rom, will this make my bootloader locked again.
2) If i flash miui recovery rom using twrp without modified boot.img and i dont want twrp and revert back to default miui recovery how to do so.....
3) If i change to miui recovery after flashing recovery rom with twrp do i again need to flash modified boot.img.
I suggest to make full recovery image of original miui. After clean install with full wipe i had problems with unlocking phone.

1) Yes
2) You cant, you will need TWRP, modded boot.img & MIUI ROM else it will bootloop
3) Yes

currently i am on CM13 official ROM, i want to move back to miui official, which MI ROM i can use, i unlocked bootloader using unofficial method, if possible give me a link which has steps to flash miui rom. TIA.
1. Flash "safe twrp" recovery.
2. Perform nandroid backup of your phone.
3. Download MIUI ROM (recovery or dev, whichever you prefer)
4. Flash this MIUI ROM via safe twrp recovery.
5. Reboot
Important: Only use safe twrp recovery for this purpose.
Hello guys
I was on stock android and stock recovery oos 3.1.3. I tried to change recovery using fastboot so i tried so many recovries, but unable to flash anyone then i found twrp recovery by teamspark so i flashed it and successfully done, but problem with it is, i am not able toh flash paranoid rom and stock rom using this recovery and even the stock recovery is also not flashable now, just stuck on logo whenever i flash stock recovery. So which recovery i can use which can correctly flashable and i can flash paranoid rom by that successfully.
Thanks in advance.
Flash old stock recovery followed by any OOS 2.X.X firmware . Now you can proceed with PA. Note dont use any of the twrp's designed for mm bootloader.

First of all, you have to downgrade your bootloader. Then you can flash any recovery for the old bootloader.
Thanks i m done now

In Xiaomi you there isn't any TA partition so you don't have to worry about DRM keys. You can simply unlock bootloader and fastboot flash TWRP recovery and SuperSU binary via recovery to get root access.
I recommend you to unlock bootloader and flash zcx recovery and create a full nandroid backup before mounting system partition. This way you have a complete backup of the current state and you can return to it at any time.
You can install any custom ROM via recovery.
Unlocking bootloader won't void the warranty.
If you want to use marshmallow you can either flash beta MIUI ROM with/without unlocking bootloader or unlock the bootloader and flash a MM based ROM via recovery.
You can return to factory state at any time by either flashing MIUI fastboot ROM via EDL mode on locked/unlocked bootloader or by flashing fastboot ROM via fastboot mode on unlocked bootloader.

I won't recommend you to use kingroot to root the device due to following reasons:
1) I don't trust these shady chinese closed source apps that relies on software vulnerability.
2) If you've rooted by any method without unlocking bootloader you won't be able to flash "incremental" OTA updates as it verifies system partition before flashing. However, you should be able to flash MIUI full recovery ROM that'll overwrite the whole image without verifying for the changes. Unlike OTA it's usually about 1.2GB in size. There's another method to flash OTA without system image verification which involves removal of a few lines from updater-script but I haven't tested it yet on stock recovery.

1) If you want to revert back to MIUI from CyanogenMod, restore nandroid backup. But make sure to backup every partition in TWRP recovery first before any modification. And don't allow system modification on the first boot to recovery. Firstly, create a full backup and then you can flash whatever ROM you like. In case you want to switch back, restore the full backup except "firmware" partition. I suggest you to use zcx recovery. You can find more about it in the xda thread.
2) If you don't have a TWRP backup, you can revert to stock ROM by flashing MIUI fastboot ROM via pc in fastboot mode. You can do the same in EDL mode but it'll wipe everything including internal storage.
3) If you want to install MIUI beta ROM based on MM, you can do that both on a locked and unlocked bootloader. Go to en.miui.com and download the latest beta ROM, put it on your internal storage and use the updater app to install it.
4) If you do the step (3) and want to revert back to MIUI stable based on LP, then you'll face sim detection issue which can be fixed by flashing modem (NON-HLOS.bin) of the same stable ROM via fastboot on unlocked bootloader. This is a bug from Xiaomi side.
5) You can use MIUI beta ROM, actually it's more stable than MIUI stable ROM and most people prefer it over stable.
Hope that helps

Thnk you soo much bro
Hi ,
I have to revert back to latest MIUI ROM from CM13 ROM [ locked Bootloader]. I have read other threads too but theres never a clear answer.
First of all I dont have any backup of any MIUI roms. I want to do a clean install of latest MIUI build.
What do I have? : Alka TWRP, CM 13 with locked bootloader I think.
Can someone please tell me what do things I need to revert back with steps?
Do I need to unlock the bootloader first then flash the lastest build of MIUI with MiFlash tool? or the bootloader needs to unlocked later after the flash?
Or can I install MIUI recovery rom? with ALKA TWRP?
Flesh miui rom via edl method using mi flash tool.
download fastboot rom and flash via mi flash.
it will lock ur bootloader so unlock it via mi unlock again if u officially unlocked.
off course this method requires a PC.

In the developer mode settings, enable advance options to restart. This will give you the option (on long pressing the power button) to reboot into recovery. If by this method you can get into recovery it would be alot easy to flash the MIUI ROM (which you can get for your device from the official miui rom download site).
If you can't get into recovery, you will need a PC/laptop.

Most probably yes.
But you could try( before unlocking) booting into recovery as i have mentioned above.
I am on Global stable miui 8.2.4 but for some reasons i don't like it and i wanna downgrade to 8.1.15 . I have Twrp installed and rooted . Can i flash recovery 8.1.15 rom using twrp ?
Or i need to flash a fastboot rom using twrp ?
somebody?
I have flashed stock 8.2.4.0 from 8.2.2.0 with flashfire, although I have twrp too. No problems just put the zip in right folder.
Yes you can. I have flashed both dev and stable. @jazzh mentions something about folders. TWRP doesn't really care about that.
Be warned though that flashing the official zip also replaces the recovery and there is a bug with 8.1.15 where you cannot flash TWRP back afterwards.
If you go back to 8.1.15 and want to use TWRP for flashing a custom rom simply use
fastboot boot [recovery name].img
to soft load TWRP and do all your work from there up.
Yes, that's a good advice.
I soft boot twrp whenever performing backup or updating magisk.
I just mentioned folders because flashfire is started from os and it will look into the ota folder and if it finds the zip it will offer rebooting to perform the update.
