Hi, I have question. I want buy note 5 636sd.
I read a lot about anti downgrade.
One question, it is possible after unlock bootloader downgrade via fastboot rom?
I think they will fix that soon, for now you can unlock your bootloader flash twrp and then use miuipro, masik, xiaomi eu miui10 roms those all better than stock miuis. So you will not hang to anti rollback
Don't forget to ask seller if device is miui 9 or 10.

The official bootloader unlock guide here http://en.miui.com/thread-202290-1-1.html states that "If you're using Redmi Note 3 Qualcomm version or Mi 5, you can unlock on MIUI Global Stable ROM"
1- Did anybody succeed in doing so?
2- After unlocking the official way, can I still flash the latest global stable? (assuming that point 1 is not possible and I have to flash the china dev) I read warnings everywhere not to do so to avoid boot loop, is this warning valid even when unblocked through the official way?
3- If I flash the latest global, will my bootloader get locked again?
I would like to unlock my bootloader to prepare for CM13 and in the meantime I want to keep running the global stable ROM.
Many thanks

I'm on Redmi Note 3 Qualcomm.
1 - For me, it only worked with the Global Dev ROM. You can switch from Global Stable without erasing any data though. I had the usual "never works on the first try"-stuff though, so I tried a lot of things and I can't say if being on Global Stable was one of the main issues.
2 - I read similar things, but also that you can OTA update without any problems when you are officially unlocked. I think the posts warning of bootloops concern the unofficial unlock only and it will happen if you forget to delete emmc_appsboot.mbn before flashing an official ROM.
3 - Shouldn't happen. Haven't tried it yet, but what would be the point of Xiaomi locking the bootloader again, just because you changed ROM versions.
So, #2 and #3 is guess work on my site. Hope someone else can chime in and give definitive answers. As of #1, hope it helps to know that Global Dev works fine. Or was there any reason you wanted to stay on Global Stable?
Hello everyone..
I recently got my Redmi Note 4 SD, its the 4/64GB variant and the device is classy I must say. However, since the last update, my device is having RAM issues and above all, heating issues. What I'm trying to know is can I flash the outdated version via fastboot method without unlocking the bootloader?
I am on the 8.1.15.0 version (Indian Variant) and I have the 8.1.10.0 version, I just want to rollback to it.
I hope there must be a way to flash stock ROMs without unlocking the bootloader. And also, if I unlock the bootloader and flash the stock ROM, will the bootloader get locked again or would stay unlocked?
A step by step guide would be highly appreciated.
ThankYou
Isn't there anyone who can help me out with this?
You need to unlock bootloader to downgrade or flash fastboot ROMs. You cannot downgrade from Updater app
Hi, im on 9.5 global. I want to upgrade to miui 10 global dev (without unlocking bootloader). It will be problem later with unlock bootloader and install xiaomi eu? (anti rollback policy?)

Fastboot method is for you, and there is no need to worry about ARB, and after unlocking bootloader you'll also be able to install xiaomi.eu!

As far as I know you can´t cross the firmware before to unlock device and in your case when you unlocked it you can flash any of both but you can´t relock it over the crossed firmware or you could brick it.
If you want to wait that someone that tried it can confirm it but I read that some users bricked due to this.
I'm planning on buying Mi 10 from China, then convert it into Global Rom / EU Rom. Does anyone know if flashing global rom will allow the device to receieve auto updates on the OS? Also will I be able to relock the bootloader after flashing the global rom?
Has anyone tried this? Thank you!
If you lock bootloader with Global rom your device will brick.
Flash global rom without lock. You can receive updates without any problems.

Can I flash eu rom in my Indian Mi10 with locked bootloader? If can, what's the procedure?
Not possible to flash any rom without unlock bootloader.
Will unlocking the bootloader break the FP scanner like it has on 2 other android 10 Chinese phones I've had?
I just got a mi 10 Pro yesterday and now I'm scared to try lok
