After i update to android 9 / miui11, can i revert back to older version (android8.1 / miui 10)
I read somewhere that u cant downgrade to older version of android on xiaomi phones
If i can downgrade, can i do it with titanium backup (or other nandroid backup) or will i need to flash it like when you install new rom?
if its possible can you link me some guides for how to?
THANK YOU!

Hi
im new to android ..
i own a ideos u8150.........and i have rooted it with z4 root
I also have managed to install clock world mod 3.0.2.4 i flashed it through pc (works perfectly)
now i want to change my stock rom ..i' heard ideos HD and droniX are good roms
i'd like to install droniX 0.6 raw ginger ..
but can anyone help me in flashing the rom i need a guide..
also how can i make full backups so i can revert to my stock rom anytime i want..
Does switching to custom roms affect baseband of my mobile ..
because of a picture i saw in a blog that says "baseband version :unknown" in mobile settings .
i have been a apple user and to jailbreak you need to preserve your basebands so is there anything like that in android
i have also read that after flashing dorinX .6 many see a black screen ..how can i prevent that..
i've also installed rom mangaer free version from market but its useless because everytime press any option it tells me to install colckworld mod and when i press install a list of phones comes up but u8150 is not in the list only 7 options.......
Thankyou
Any one......
comon cant any one help me out............................
How u install a new rom, there are many Threads in the forum ...
For a Backup with CWM.
You can make a full backup with CWM.
Boot into CWM Recoverry an make Nandroid backup.
Or install RomManager from the Market, start it and search the option to make a backup.
This is the answer to all your problems
This is a Kenyan blog with information on how to flash any version of Dronix. The process is the same. I use Dronix 0.6.
Google 'Alex the African How to ROM Dronix onto Huawei Ideos U8150'
You'll be good.
Does any one know of a step by step guide of how to install the latest version of Android on an HTC Desire S?
There is plenty of information on Google but i cant find a detailed guide that includes how to root the phone first. The HTC Desire S i have is currently running Android 2.3.5.
A couple of questions:
- Does the Android version depend on the spec of the phone? (i.e. does the phone have to have a specific amount of memory or specs for me to be able to install the latest version on the Desire S)
- Does the phone have to be rooted first before i can install
- If i do root and install the latest version, will i be able to revert it back to its original factory settings?
- What does "installing a custom ROM" mean? Is this the same as installing a different distribution of Linux or a modified version of XP?
- What is the relationship between installing a custom ROM and updating the Android version? Is it the same thing?
- And finally, are these custom ROMS safe? Do i have to install a custom ROM to be update the Android version and if so, how do you ensure that when you update to the latest Android version, you are not installing a version that has modifications to record personal information e.g. your email or paypal logons?
Thanks.
up.. this is also my question..

Hi guys I have an AT&T HTC ONE M8 and it was rooted and running 4.4.4 and TWRP and then something happened to it which caused me to go RUU and restore the device and unroot it and everything. Then I was on 6.0 and rooted it with the HTC ONE M8 rootkit and flashed SuperSU and TWRP on it and currently its still running rooted 6.0 with TWRP, I don't like marshmallow and I want to downgrade to kitkat or lollipop. My bootloader is unlocked and I am S-ON! Please someone explain very thoroughly how I can downgrade as I am not 100% tech-savy as we speak.
Thank You Guys So Much!
You can simply TWRP flash a 5.0 based M8 ROM, or restore a 5.0 backup and it will work. I believe the same is also true for 4.4.4. But not 4.4.3, as it is not compatible with newer firmware (hboot, radio, etc.). And you need s-off to downgrade that firmware.
Be aware, whatever you think you are gaining from downgrading; you are losing by not having years of Android security updates (patches to vulnerabilities, etc.).
Thanks Mate! Can you redirect me to a 5.0 Rom?

Not specifically, no. You can search the ATT Dev section for 5.0 ROM as easily as I can. Or if you don't need or want an ATT based ROM, you can also look in the "international" Dev section: https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development
Also, ROMs which have been updated (Android 6, 7) may or may not still have links to 5.0 versions.
Alternately (and probably easier to find) just restore a stock TWRP backup of a 5.0 ROM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
You don't need (or want) to restore the data partition, so it is essentially the same as flashing a ROM (although getting the files to the right location is a bit trickier). Also, no need to install stock recovery (as getting an OTA update is not what you want). Then root if desired.
Hey.
I got me a used One Plus X with OOS 3.1.4 installed. I need to get down to 2.2.2 for Android 5.1.1 to install SailfishOS, which unfortunately doesn't seem to work with 6.x.x.
I've got the 2.2.2-.zip file from the official Oneplus download already. Now I'm hesitant because I've changed the recovery via fastboot already (for my first attempt to flash SailfishOS, when I didn't know I had to downgrade first).
My question: What recovery can I safely install the 2.2.2 zip from? A certain TWRP version? Or do I need stock recovery? (a link would be awesome in this case)
The internet has given me mixed signals about this so I wanted to ask here first - don't want to brick my new phone.
Greetings and thanks,
boogie
You need ONXY MM recovery

Your problem is that you need to downgrade your bootloader.
On the updating topic, there is this link for downgrading :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69170103&postcount=45
guys can anyone tell whether its safe to downgrade from miui 9.2.4.0 to miui 8.1.1.0 using the fastboot rom ?
downgrade yes, but keeping your app's data no as u need factory reset after else many apps given problem. always do proper backup before perform system downgrade
