I'm now being more inclined towards returning to miui but to the global beta.
But updating beta versions erases twrp, also magisk thus forcing me to redo everything again and again.
I haven't tried debloating ROM (now I'm running custom one AEX) so if I update to newer beta would I get all that bloatware back again? So does running a beta require all these background workarounds every week? Or are there any other options.
I also have read about xiaomi.eu roms, would they be a better option than global betas?
Any help is appreciated, been too much frustrated swapping up ROMs
Thanks in advance

I apologize if I ask something very basic, but I have not used MIUI for a long time ... If I install a custom MIUI 10 ROM like Globe ROM, Epic Rom or EU, will I be able to return without problems to AOSP ROMS? I read that xiaomi blocked the rollbacks ... For root, Magisk 17? Xposed works fine?
Last question, which one of those ROMS do you recommend?
Thank you very much.
For roll-back, AFAIK, there is not arb implemented in Redmi note 4,so yes you can go back to aosp's and can root via magisk also.
Search anti-roll back nd follow the procedure
I was on MIUI 10 Global Beta which seemed to be slow. So i flashed the DotOS v2.5 which is an Oreo 8.1.0. Treble Status = Supported. After using a month i felt that the battery drains a lot quicker in this rom. I badly want to revert back to MIUI 9. I am on Orange fox 3.2.3 recovery. Will flashing the MIUI 9 hard brick my phone? Its a noob questions. Please answer me only if you have tried.
Worked for me

Read point #3 here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76885728&postcount=3
Off course you can, but be advised the custom twrp will be replaced by stick recovery
Use Fastboot method and your phone will be new and clean .
But you can try other Custom Roms, there a lot of Roms out there.
Just check for bugs and features accordingly
Don't flash any recovery, just install the rom from fastboot, everything will be stock after that.
Of course you can revert back. No way you can hard brick your device if it's a clean flash be it MiUi or aosp. If you listen to a ROM tester's advice I recommend you to flash latest Orange Fox recovery then Xiaomi EU ROM which are always good, trustable and bloatware free. They're stable and up to date. I'm highly against stock MiUi ROMs for several reasons for example Chinese or Google bloatware, lots of them according to which MiUi ROM you flash (Global or China).
Hi!
Before attempting anything I wanted to ask this here:
I have a non-rooted, completely stock Mi Pad 4 bought from Gearbest. It is the international version (Model name: M1806D9W) that came with Google Apps, already with english language, etc. It currently runs MIUI Global 9.6 | Stable 9.6.7.0.0(ODJCNFD) (Android 8.1.0 OPM1.171019.019)
I read online that MIUI 10 should be available for global versions which I think mine is? But yet system updates tell me there are no updates available.
So here's my question: What is the simplest most straightforward way to upgrade to MIUI 10?
I see I can download ROMs from threads here and other places online but I want to make 100% sure of which one should I get.
Bonus question: Any way of backuping everything so I don't have to re-install, reconfigure, re-place my apps icons, etc?
Thanks so much!
pretty sure the international version that your reseller claim is false.. there are no international version now.. they probably loaded an "international modified" rom .. highly recommend you to flash xiaomi EU rom already comes with prebuilt playstore if you ur bootloader is already unlocked. if not, flash official chinese miui 10 rom and they are many guides to get playstore on chinese rom as well.

Ok I see! So once I upgrade to MIUI 10 I will have OTA updates then?
This is the one I need right? https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-pad-4/how-to/rom-miui-10-xiaomi-eu-links-t3864882
Also is there any way of restoring my apps, settings, etc like it is on MIUI 9 right now? OR will I really need to start all over again?
EDIT: I don't believe my Mi Pad 4 is rooted. This seems like good instructions on how to root it and flash a new rom? https://en.miui.com/thread-3196420-1-1.html
Thanks so much!
i just flashed my mi pad 4 . It had the same rom, just modified rom to include the playstore,
The bootloader is already unlocked.
just boot to fast boot. volume key + power
flash twrp - i used twrp installer bat from here en.miui.com/thread-3196420-1-1.html
once boots twrp, then flash miui 10 - androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=281632
job done.

yeah the link is correct, with xiaomi Eu rom you can still get official updates, maybe just slight delay from official chinese stream. but that's the best support we have so far for international miui roms now. the check update seems to be quite buggy on xiaomi eu rom, sometime it downloads but fails on completion.. just try again.. 2nd try is the charm as always haha. if not you can download the rom and dirty flash no problem, i was on beta previously so maybe thats why.
highly recommend you to start from fresh.. migrating over apps may result in bug occurrence.
Hey folks,
i need your advice.
As i'm not that much in flashing and unlocking my android devices any more i'm now on 9.6.27 global beta on my poco f1.
As known i would have to full wipe my device to retun to the official global channel (11.0.5.0).
The fact that i would have to start my phone at stock launch, i'm at the point looking for a custom rom.
Which way would you recommend?
Flashing global stable and waiting for android 10 to be released officially by xiaomi or unlocking the device and flash a custom rom?
I'm unsure which way to go. I'm planning on using the poco at least for this year long and wasnt unhappy with an debloated miui official rom until now.
Thanks for your help, appreciate it!
Cheers
I've seen some videos of people using the MiFlash Tool to downgrade from Miui 12 to Miui 11, Is this a safe method to follow? It seems simple enough compared to fiddling around with custom ROMs and recovery tools. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
unlock, flash a custom rom and you will be good for some more years.

I intend to update my phone soon and I don't want to start getting used to a new OS that's why I created this thread to see how safe it is to just roll back to a previous MIUI ROM.

Hi,
As the other user said above, it's better to use an up-to-date custom ROM for many reasons, like stability, performance, privacy, security and debloated.
