Same happened to me, I guess because we try downgrade to lollypop which has different radios. First I tried with twrp and with fastboot, but no wifi on 5.1. MM works fine for me... If anyone know how to downgrade to 5.1 I want answer too

Bro did miui dev 6.0 fastboot rom work ?

---

Yeah, wifi and all will work no doubt on 6.0

use xiaomi.eu rom...flash from twrp...everything work properly for me.
site: xiaomi.eu

I use EU ROM currently too and it is the best one for me to date, also freezed some system apps with Titanium Backup.
But still dont know, if theres a way to downgrade to 5.1 if I dont have backup from 5.1, because my Kenzo came to me with 6.0... It boots fine, but wifi dont work, so also other radios, so its not usable
P.S. Can I flash with TWRP(zcx) old EU ROM recovery with 5.1 and radios will work?
I guess ill try that now

yes...you can directly flash 5.1 rom from zcx.
backup your data then do factory reset in twrp before flashing LP rom to remove any MM encryption.
hope you can downgrade without any problem..happy flashing.
anyway, probably your bootloader will relocked. but i am not really sure about this, just check it first after flashing LP rom.

I tried that yesterday, except I wiped all except cust/microsd , flashed 5.1 eu rom and then I flashed also SuperSU, it was a disaster, phone only shows Mi logo and turn off...I cant go to twrp, only to fastboot. Im going to get computer in two hours where I have everything set up And will try to go to EDL mode and then flash With MiFlash... I doubt that flashing 5.1 will work with wifi

from fastboot, are you check your bootloader? it seems your bootloader relocked, thats why you can't pass mi logo
if your bootloader relocked, you can easily unlock it using miunlock.
for wifi, you can easily flash any miui mm firmware from twrp.

---

Thank you for the tip, didnt thought about that...
im gonna borrow computer now, I have all drivers installed etc on it...
If its only relocked and I will be able to boot and wifi will not work, where can I get firmware (and you must be thinking LP firmware not MM, right?
btw I flashed older EU ROM MIUI7, 5.1 then flashed through zcx supersu and reboot, now Mi logo only flashss and turn off. Only fastboot I can enter.
I will then first check if BL is locked, and unlock it if it is...
thank you for help

---

Ok so you were right, BL was locked so I unlocked it and got enryption problem after booting up, I had to reflash ZCX TWRP, because EU ROM replaced it with official 3.2.0. So now I am finally booted up on EU rom MIUI 7.3 by xiaomi.eu/Beta, Android 5.1.1, but Wifi as expected dont work, also SIM is not recognised.
What and where to get radios I have to flash to get it working? Because it says unknown under system info about version of radios
Also it says unknown device ID (IMEI,..).
I have backed up all partitions before on MIUI 8 EU,6.0, so do I need to flash those radios or firmware or do I need it from 5.1? And where to get it if so
Nice I got it to work, restored EFS,MODEM,FIRMWARE ROM,FIRMWARE EMMC and wifi works and SIM is working )
Nice I had backup of that...still not sure if all works as needed, gotta test a bit

miui LP firmware
miui 6.7.21 firmware

good, seems your problem already solved. :good:

Yeah, now a problem is I cant access fingerprint or password lock, I think because I cant connect to Mi account, cant find my device, also cant manually log in, because it cannot verify "find device", also cannot access to "Privacy" to install 3d party apps it is a must to enable this... Also settings freeze occasionally. I think I still didnt do something right... Any tip?
Thank you for helping me!

sound like firmware problem, you can try to flash firmware from above link which suitable with your current android version. if you're in LP, flash 6.7.21/7.3.2.0 and see if it work. or, you can flash one of MM firmware above.
to avoid from getting relocked, you can delete emmc_appsboot.mbn from zip package using winrar/7zip without extract it and let the apps repack it again.

I tried flashing your firmware 7.3.2.0 and had to restore EFS,MODEM(maybe only modem) to get wifi,SIM working also your firmware fixed only I could log in to Mi account and find device, but still couldnt set PIN,FP, also tried calling and couldnt hear anything also on the other side no voice.
Im losing confidence that I can get everything work on 5.1 MIUI7
Then I wiped everything expect microSD and wanted to restore backup I made on EU ROM,MM6, but it said read only. Then I flashed 6.10.13 EU ROM and it works everything perfectly here...
Still want to downgrade to MIUI7,5.1 if theres a way to get it all working, because I heard battery is lil better...

ah...this is only for battery life?
miui 8 a lot better on battery backup comparing with miui 7. also you got android M with bunch of feature & security update.
if you want better battery, flash xposed & amplify (you can limits nlp wakelock), flash kernel & use darkness/zzmove gov, use adaway or minminguard to remove ads.
still want more? flash stable aosp rom & keep using above way. pure stock android will give you better battery comparing with miui.

Thanks for all this great info!
I used few CM roms for this device, but none of them were working flawless...Which one are you talking about? I tried almost all Nougat based and had a lot of problems, only CM13 from thestrix were the closest, but I like MIUI though... Thank you for your time to help me!

give a try for nx rom or aicp, both mm base. i really like both rom stability & feature. almost all my friend using both rom
for N, its still in progress & you won't get stability using N for now. give more time to let dev work & you'll get stable N which better than MM.
you're welcome, enjoy your device & dont bricked it

---

Thanks man, I flashed NX ROM and its stable and fast so far, also 400MHz unlocked by default ,..Flashed it with pico gapps and kenzo radios.
I want to flash xposed and amplify now, hope xposed doesnt do contra effect.
Thank you again!
