Hello ppl,
I have unlocked the bootloader of my RN3 snapdragon version officially and i flashed the offical twrp on my phone.
Then i did a complete backup of the rom and then installed CM 14.1 (Santosh's build)
When i installed the rom,it relocked the bootloader and the fastboot mode now shows cyanogen logo instead of the mi logo.
The TWRP is working fine and i tried out both CM13 as well as 14.1.
i was on the miui 8(5.1) build and i tried to restore the EFS file to enable VOLTE on CM14.1 but no VOLTE is working as it was V5.1
I now have to revert back to MIUI8(6.0).How do i proceed?.
*I will flash the global MIUI8 developer rom using the TWRP?
*Restore the backup that i had done earlier with with official TWRP?
*Boot into eld mode(Cyanogen fastboot mode) and then use MiFlash and flash global developer MIUI version.
Please Help me with this.Need to get the VOLTE working fast and get back to MIUI.
First of all let me tell you that volte is broken and fluctuating in miui8 MM builds. Even though there are fixes but then you have to compromise fp scanner. So in my opinion flash xiaomi.eu rom 6.8.11 based on 5.1.1. But as per experience I have seen volte working in santhosh build. Just dont flash any firmware. And to revert back to miui8 LP just wipe partitions and remeber dat official MM roms are encrypted. Dont go there. Happy flash.

Didnt you unlock bootloader? If not then unlock it using mi flash tool, and check out roms from xiaomi.eu site not from miui.com, official site produce ****ty roms. They mess up data partition with encryption. Check out 6.8.11 based on 5.1 where VoLte works fine.

I have locked bootloader.Is it fine if i just flash the zip file using twrp
MiUnlock is not detecting the phone to unlock the bootloader.
Sorry for too many questions.Litte bit new to RN3 .It was easy to flash and do stuff with my old OnePlus One.
::And ill download the stable or weekly
I think you might lose IMEI/EFS if you downgrade from CM 14.1 to lolipop MIUI? Someone more knowledgeable can confirm.

download weekly, miunlock is not detecting? Hmm then may be it is due to windows drivers. If you are using x64 bit OS then you should tweak driver signature enforcement in windows. which twrp u are using? Use a twrp where you can backup efs, modem and other important partitions. alka, zcx are best twrps.

if you use edl then it doesnt matter whether its unlocked or locked. But edl mode needs to wipe everything all data in int storage.
Whats the update? Did it went well? I mean through edl mode using MiFlash.
Hey,
I also have a question. If I officially unlock my bootloader and some how it gets locked again then can I unlock it again officially?
I flash MIUI 8 mm from cm 14.1 , via two booted but mi account verification error . Not go beyond that . What to do ?
Hi, I have a question.
If I flash LOS13, for example, when I want to back MIUI, could I flash Xiaomi.eu from recovery doing all wipes or I would have problems because I haven't install it via MiFlash?
Thank you.

You cant even flash xiaomi.eu through MiFlash...it only works with official miui (china dev,china stable, global dev, global stable).
Yes, you can wipe everything in twrp and flash xiaomi.eu

Back up all of your data. Now download official global stable fastboot ROM (tar file). Then flash from Mi Flash Tool (Clean all). DONE!

To downgrade you need to unlock the bootloader or use test point method:

I am currently running MIUI 10 China Stable and have a locked bootloader, I would like to install the official China Developer ROM, does anybody know how I should install it correctly?
well according to the information on MIUI forums you need an unlocked bootloader for the fastboot flash method.
https://en.miui.com/thread-4765806-1-1.html
Can't use local update to go from stable<>developer and vice versa.
You can just download the recovery rom from MIUI forum and use the updater option "Choose update package" to change to developer ROM without needing to unlock bootloader. The tablet however will need to be wiped upon flashing the new ROM.
I don't think there are any..
https://en.miui.com/thread-4765806-1-1.html
This is the latest China development rom
Right but then why would they state
Note: China Stable users, please upgrade via fastboot mode.

I guess it was apppicable to older MIUI rom versions. I've already done this on my locked Mi Pad 4 and also you can see it from this video.

I got to the developer ROM, but now I want to go back to the stable ROM and I don't know if I can because of anti rollback. The developer roms anti rollback status is 1, does anyone know what the stable roms is!

If your device is Chinese version, you can lock the bootloader with Chinese rom only.
Use :https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/flash-tool-guide-use-xiaomi-flash-tool.4262425/
Its EAA model but xiaomi.eu and newer than EAA firmware...

bootloader should be unlocked
you are on eu rom, means it's already unlocked
just download you desired stock rom and flash with "mi flash" with all data format
@mong786 why? I wanna to close the bootloader
you can lock bootloader, just by simply selecting "clean all and lock" option while flashing in "mi flashing"
check attachment to see
i am telling you now at the moment your bootloader is unlocked {because you using eu Rom}, it's your choice to lock or unlock it
First, unlock bootloader. Then, you can use miflash to flash stable ROM and relock bootloader. You can use this to download appropriate and official rom.
