Downgrade - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

Hey there. I'm using rn4 India version powered with Qualcomm.
I want to downgrade my phone such that the security patch update is not more than March 1st 2017. I found old roms of miui8 in en.miui.com and the guide says I can downgrade through the updater app. I want to know if it's safe or not... Just don't want my phone to bricked

XT1524 Firmware question

Hi
My aunt gave me her old phone (XT1524) as she bought a new device.
The device had received the latest December patch. I did want to install LOS 14.1 and thus I unlocked the bootloader. But I want to return the latest stock. I couldn't find the latest one. Only the February one. As a result, I'm NOT able to install it completely and if I flash only the system and the boot.img, I get an update notification (which I'm scared to install because it may brick my device, or it is my idea????)
Anyhow, where I can find the latest and "greatest" stock firmware for my XT1524
Thanks
You're safe to install that update, there is currently no firmware with the December patch available to download. Although at first you might want to fully flash every file from the February firmware from scratch, just to be safe.

No, it's the second beta of Oreo for EU firmware.
Good for you. Now were you the smart guy who grabbed the files before actually upgrading? In order for @OldDroid to make an updated guide for everybody to upgrade... ?

Confirm your current version by dialing *#*#227#*#* before update.
Then download the package and rename to the specific filename I gave, place it to root directory of internal storage and dial *#*#874#*#* to update.

Yes it's possible.
You can find the exact firmware build version with any text editor in firmware-update/fver .
If this is a full OTA instead of differed OTA, you only need to specify target firmware build version in file name.
For example, you need to rename Oreo beta package to
E1M-115M-0-00WW-B01-update.zip
Then put it to root directory and dial *#*#874#*#* to update.
Speaking of that, have you got the Oreo beta dl? I'm using a Nokia 2 prototype that can't join Beta Labs.

Hi. I am in trouble. Please help.
I downloaded the update zip file and applied it through sd card from recovery menu. This update stuck at 72% and gave some error.
Now the phone automatically goes to recovery mode when turned on. I have restored it as well but still not fixed.
If you can provide me the latest working OTA update zip file so that I can fix the problem. Or if there is any other solution then please let me know.
Thank You.

Are these Honor 10 EMUI 9 official updates?

I found an article here (www getdroidtips com/huawei-honor-10-android-9-0-pie/ ) with download links to Honor 10 EMUI 9.0 Firmware ZIPs.
Are these Official Updates and can these be flashed on devices with locked bootloaders?
I read the article and it mentions unlocked bootloader but official firmware should be flashable on locked ones as well, right?

You could download the modified Odin and SimFirm applications on your computer, download the fw then update through Odin.
Or, you could go to https://firmware.science and follow the easy steps listed at bottom of the page. However I'm not sure this method will get you to the most current update.
Can I jump from my current android version to the most updated one? Or do I have to go though in between past updates?
Does this method work for the snapdragon version with locked bootloader?

Using Odin you can jump to the most current. And yes, as long as you choose the correct fw when downloading
