Sorry, flash older version is not allowed - Xiaomi Redmi 8A Questions & Answers

Hi, two months ago I bought a redmi 8A and miui 11 was there to update... I'm on miui 11 now and I want to go back miui 10 because the phone seems to be more slow, I downloaded the right rom to my phone and when I select the ROM on update settings appears the error "Sorry, flash older version is not allowed". I tried to use another ROM and nothing changes, If someone here could help me with something I would be happy with that
Edit: Sorry about my english, I'm brazilian

As far as I know , there will be no language packs for Android phones . it should be available in the native way . if u want above feature ,then u at least have to try a ROM which includes it or else flash a stock ROM of same model which includes the requested language . (don't flash full ROM , flash only system , boot.IMG )

Hey man, you have a Fake/tampered Rom
Take a look at this:
http://en.miui.com/thread-392159-1-1.html
For stable rom , needed about 3 decimal points. Not more than that
You need to use MIFLASH tool to flash the original rom. Make sure to unlock bootloader first (i think its already unlock thou).
Flashing guide:
http://en.miui.com/thread-565784-1-1.html
Thanks,I was thinking about using MIFLASH.
Yes, bootloader is (factory ??? ) unlocked.I buy it like that.
(why would seler temper with ROM? my Mido is chinese 2016101 and I live in Serbia/East Europe.couldn,t they just flash Global rom.I buy from them Redmi 4a for my wife,and it was OK.Updated fine to latest ROM.)
Didn't know about 3 decimal rom rule.

Xiaomi have no official retail stores yet (except at India thou) so they let those f*ck up resellers to buy their phones and do whatever they want to sell it.
If the reseller bought those phones directly from China with chinese miui rom , tendency it will modified to english with playstore installed.
Sorry for that lol ,
Now try miflash if it works :fingers-crossed:
MIFLASH did the trick. I'm now on 8.5.4.0.

To flash an official ROM (stable or developer, chinese or global) over an unofficial one, you need an unlock bootloader and follow this guide.
If you are using an unofficial ROM, like those fake MIUI ROMs (bad) or Xiaomi.eu ROMs (better than official), you have already an unlocked bootloader.

First Xiaomi Mi 9 official MIUI ROM is available for download!

The new flagship by Xiaomi, Mi 9 and its ‘lite’ version have been released earlier this week, and we saw a good move from Xiaomi by released the kernel source immediately after the launch event, but stock ROM took some time.
Mi 9 series has three devices, for now, the most-powerful flagship Mi 9 (codename: cepheus), the pretty Mi 9 Transparent Edition, and the first device with Snapdragon 712 in the world Mi 9 SE (codename: grus)
We, at Xiaomi Firmware Updater, was able to get the first official MIUI package for Mi 9 and Mi 9 SE, although it’s not available on MIUI China website yet!
Mi 9 MIUI version is V10.2.5.0, while Mi 9 SE one is V10.2.3.0, and both of them are running Android Pie (9.0) unlike some leaks reported earlier.
Download Mi 9 Official MIUI V10.2.5.0.PFACNXM Here
And as usual, the new devices will be added to Xiaomi Firmware Updater once the stable ROM becomes available publicly.
Wrong thread
I noticed that MI9 appeared on Xiaomi.eu page.
Does this mean that this is global ROM ?

True, I read about the and can confirm.
On the other hand - I noticed that MI9 appeared on MIUI.com site.
And it appears to be Global.
After an update its 10.2.12 Global.

Hi

Thanks in anticipation...

Hi all. I purchased a mi 9 last week from a Chinese seller in Canada. I dont know if its the global version, but I assume not since all the preloaded apps are Chinese. How do I check which version do I have? And are there instructions for switching to the global version? Thank you
Hi @AlexZanf
Would you mind running the Camera2 probe from the play store? I'm interested if it says max image is 3000x4000 or 6000x8000?
Thanks
Steve

That's funny, I downloaded miui_CEPHEUSGlobal_V10.2.3.0.PFAMIXM_e3aaed0507_9.0.zip and copied it to my downloaded_rom on the phone but when I go to Settings/About Phone/System Update and tap the 3 dots, I don't get the option "Choose Update Package".
I clicked on "Download Latest" and it downloaded and installed, but it's 10.2.15.0 as it was before I started. My model is the same as yours at M1902F1G.
I'm a bit confused. What does the EEA version mean?
Cheers

Weird. I just checked the file was there in downloaded_rom and there it is at 2.2GB. Still no option "Choose Update Package"

OK after a quick Google, I found out you need to tap 10 times on the MIU logo which then enabled the option.
I tried to install the above, and got an error message saying:
Can't verify update
Sorry, Flash older version not allowed.
So I'm in the same boat as you!

Global Rom - can't update to Miui 12

Hi all,
So please excuse me because I'm a massive noob. I'd appreciate it if you spoke to me like someone who has no idea what to do (because I don't!)
I bought a Mi 10 recently and it's on the Global Rom version 11.0.4. I've tried downloading Miui 12(multiple variants) and installing them through the 'Choose update package' in Settings but it always tells me it can't verify the update because it is lower security patch than what I have atm
How can I upgrade to Miui 12? Can someone explain it to me? Do I need to download in install the EU rom on this Mi 10?
P.s. I also would like to get a dual SIM tray and get dual SIM functionality, how can I also do that? Is that with the EU rom?
Thanks guys!

If u wanna dual SIM u must open bootloader and then install xiaomi.eu version of MIUI. Global version dont support dual SIM.
You shouldn't have to manually download the update when you first get the phone. There should be a waiting OTA update to MIUI 12.0.1 when you check for updates. Failing that, you can install the Fastboot update using the MiFlash tool.

Question Downgrade

So basically I accidentally upgraded from miui 13.0.2 to miui 13.0.4 and I want to downgrade back to 13.0.2. I know this sounds stupid how could someone accidentally upgrade It all happened because I created a new 2nd space on my 12t pro and dumbass me not noticing that it was downloading a whole package of update on that new 2nd space I finished up realizing that I have already upgraded. Anyway I have tried looking for miui 13.0.2 global rom for Xiaomi 12T Pro on the miui website but could only find Japanese and Turkish ones none for global. Anyone can help me out with this?
Which model (settings/my phone/detailed information/model)?
ex: 22081212UG
13.0.4(full name)?
ex: V13.0.4.0.SLFMIXM
I'm trying to get the one the phone came with which is V13.0.2.0.SLFMIXM

To downgrade you must first unlock the bootloader.
Unlock bootloader

After research, I find no V13.0.2.0.SLFMIXM but only V13.0.3.0.SLFMIXM.
