Hi, I think the title says it all. What is the best and the easiest way to downgrade from MIUI 8 to 7 without losing any data on my phone/SD card? Where can I see the download link to the exact specific ROM version for my phone (Redmi Note 3)? I am currently running on MIUI Global 8.0 Stable | 8.0.6.0 (LHOMIDG). Thanks!

Bootloader unlocked? If not then boot into edl, flash fastboot rom using flash tool, u can find a list of fastboot rom in miui forum. While downgrading please do wipe.

Thank you for your response. As I am a noob in this area, can you please provide more information on bootloader and how to unlock it & boot it into edl? Also, can you provide the link to the page which has information on the Fastboot ROM for my phone model? Will this retain my existing data?

Bootloader unlocked mode allows you flash custom roms via custom recovery and flash MIUI fastboot roms via fastboot mode. But bootloader locked mode only allows edl mode to operate using fastboot roms.

I want to update to global rom, but i can't enter EDL mode as shown in this guide : http://en.miui.com/thread-235865-1-1.html
Can someone tell me if i need to flash it in EDL mode or can i flash it through fastboot using miflash(in this case do i need to clear all data?)?
Update app not working, can't verify update message.
I am on the redmi note 3 snapdragon, version 7.2.5 china
Who can explain me what to do?
Solved by reinstalling adb & fastboot package

No you do not have to. Flash it according to the tutorial in the link above. Make sure you have all programs and fastboot drivers installed on your pc and it should go very quickly. You will have to wipe user data and such, so remember that.
The fastboot rom is also there in the link.
Hi guys,
Just recently purchased redmi note 3 pro 32gb from gearbest.
Phone should be international version with 7.2.13.00(LHOCNCL) preinstalled.
I found that I cannot flash any standard / developer ROM when official website by using built-in flash tool.
Any way to go from here? to at least receive OTA updates and in future I will like to try out Ressurection rom.
thanks.
Your ROM is unexsisting one, cooked by the seller.
You must flash a new one clean via EDL mode and MiFlash
This CN in the name means Chinese, and the numbers says that the rom is only modified to support more languages.

Does this mean i need to wait for unlock bootloader first?
my MI account has previous device linked which I just removed now and set to my new phone.
might take weeks to get approval?
or is there a guy to by pass the locked bootloader?
thanks.

No you wont loose your IMEI. Basically you are just flashing official MIUI Rom, your IMEI details are stored in another partition (non volatile) and FlashAll will not touch them.
You are safe to follow this guide, and by the way you would not be able to unlock the bootloader (the official way) from this vendor Rom. So if you plan to do so later, here you go with this first step.

Can I Unlock Bootloader and Install TWRP (ZCX~TWRP) On Stable ROM Kenzo 32GB v8.0.6. I've Obtained Permission and downloaded the required files ( ZCX TWRP ,Mi flash and Xiaomi drivers ) Please answer the questions below
1.Can I Unlock Bootloader on Stable ROM ?
2.Unlocking bootloader means I will loose all data right?
3.can I directly flash ZCX TWRP after unlocking bootloader ?
I couldnt unlock it on stable, but no harm if you try
Unlocking doesnt mean you will lose data, you lose nothing
You can flash after unlockibg bootloader.
And you can unlock it as many times you need (it gets locked if you flash MIUI again or if you switch MIUI android version..

Then I selected Drivers in that file to get ADB interface bootloader working, then I used MiUnlock and it went success
i didnt have my computer with 64bit win10 at hand where I have everything working tip top, so I tried that and it worked...maybe it can help someone too

Hello there,
I got a Kate device, which I unlocked unofficially after oficial unlock failed after 50% in September.
Now I'm running TheStrix' CM14.1 with this firmware:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/cm14-14-1-aosp-n-firmware-kenzo-kate-t3507789
But now I read, that TheStrix recommends flashing the MIUI Dev Rom, and afterwards his new 14.1 Firmware in order to run 14.1 correctly.
From what I read so far, its recommended to do the official unlock now, because it is working. And there is no chance of accidentally relocking it afterwards?
Could someone give me a hint on how to accomplish that? A short step-by-step list would be much appreciated!
I guess I would have to Flash the dev rom first, then unlock, then flash the firmware and then install CM14.1, is that right?
How do I flash the dev rom and which one is the right one?
Will my TWRP stay in place during all this or do I have to install it again? Am I using the right TWRP for all these operations?
Right now I have TWRP 3.0.0-0 cofface installed.
While TheStrix recommends using his TWRP with F2FS support. Would it be safe to flash that now?
Thank you guys so much!
The only way to do it by flashing official MIUI fastboot ROM in EDL mode via MiFlash.

for those who want to flash custom roms without taking the time to unlock bootloader follow this steps..
1- download any miui fastboot rom
2-extract it
3- download alka twrp recovery
4-rename it recovery. img and paste it in the extracted folder thus replacing the miui recovery
5-flash using mi flash tools in EDL mode
6-now you have TWRP installed... format your phone.. and now copy the roms, mods, whatever the **** you want in your phone by pc and you can flash that

Thank you all for your replies. To sum it up, I made a step-by-step list, could someone please confirm that.
1. Put phone in fastboot mode and flash official MIUI fastboot dev ROM (6.11.24) in EDL mode.
2. Unlock phone using MiUnlock
3. Install TWRP (f2fs) using fastboot
4. Install CM14 Kate firmware provided by TheStrix
5. Install CM14.1 nightly by TheStrik
6. Install Gapps
Is that about right? Can you tell me after which steps I will have to wipe? And which partitions to wipe..?
Hi, I'm trying to update my MIUI version to MIUI 13 however nothing is working, I am aware I've got a locked bootloader which is why I'm only trying to update via the Updated in Settings an odd thing is that my MIUI version is different from any version I've seen downloadable.
My version is RJBEUSF
EEA version is RJBEUXM
What to do?
Thanks

if you can't update via settings
reset device and try again if fail
then bootloader should be unlocked to try the 2nd official way
unlock bootloader with "mi unlock" on any pc or laptop
then download your desired ROM and flash it with "mi flash"
you can also relock bootloader again while flashing with mi flash

If I want to relock bootloader do I need my specific device's MIUI ROM? I'm trying to download it via the Settings but I think it's a "carrier" based MIUI rom and it's really limiting.
Only reason that I would want this is for resell value. Easier to sell a stock device than an open bootloader one.
Thanks btw for answering.

you can only flash with pc or laptop following way
requirements
1.pc/laptop with adb drivers
2.unlocked bootloader device
yes you need fastboot rom flashing with "mi flash" to relock the bootloader
Official Roms for Mi10 (UMI) you can download from here and select fastboot while downloading not recovery rom
extract downloaded rom in c drive
download latest mi flash and extract this in c drive also
run mi flash select rom, attach your device in fastboot mode by pressing vol down + power down
and hit flash button, attaching screen shot also
hope this will help
i have same device, and this mi flash version worked good for me (MiFlash 2021.2.26.0)
i was getting problems with latest version
