I was going through the MI Forums and found that they offer the Flashing ROM for MIUI 10 for the Xiaomi A2 which i think is great.
here's the link : http://en.miui.com/download-353.html
So if i am able to flash that rom, can i flash the old stock android one back and still get the OTA updates or i won't be able to do that?
Remember this is an Android one device with a/b partitioning. I don't know if MIUI is compatible with that formatting table. If you wanted MIUI why didn't you just buy the 6x then?
Its stock android, not miui.

Hello everyone
I just bought 2 xiaomi MI5 phones, one for me and one for my girl. Both are the 32GB versions with 3 gb ram, one gold one normal. I bought them from 2 different vendors in bucharest (because of the color, of course).
Now, the issue is this:
- gold phone has MIUI global 7.3.4.0.0 (MAACNDD) stable
- black phone has MIUI by xiaomi.eu version 7.8.11.0 (MAACNDB) stable
I lokked out this 2 versions and i found out that they are not official also they have some crazy **** apps like 9apps and mobomarket and a weird keyboard.
Now i tried to update the gold versions to the latest version and says no update available via the iupdate manager from settings. Same to the black one.
The gold one has an signal issue with Telekom Romania and the black one has a masive WLAN battery drain (43% ?!). I google the WLAN battery drain and found a related post from Redmi note 3 that said it's some kind of ROM issue that masks another app that is usign the phone like hell.
I applied for the unlock from Xioami, now my question is:
Should i wait for the unlock and add the latest stable official update or go to another rom (before i had note3 and S5 from samsung and rooted them both)?
If your advice is to go to another rom, do i need to wait for Xiaomi to unlock the devices or it s a go without it?
Look forward for some help, i really love this phone, is perfect for me and my needs.
Best regards

Hi,
First of all, I don't own mi5, but I had the same problem when I purchased my Redmi Note 3 Pro (Snapdragon version)
It was loaded with unofficial MIUI ROM
(you can figure if it is unofficial or not by checking the version, OFFICIAL ROMS are MIUI x.x.x.x and UNOFFICIAL ROMS are MIUI x.x.x.x.x or so I was told)
So, my phone came with locked bootloader, the same as yours as I understand.
Problem with locked bootloader is I can't install ROMs or custom recoveries from fastboot.
Flashing OFFICIAL ROMs I downloaded from their official website using Updater App is a no no either, since I was on unofficial build (the updater app always return can't verify package error everytime I try to flash official ROM)
So the last resort seems to be applying to permission for unlocking bootloader ....
Until I found out that it is possible to flash OFFICIAL ROMS from fastboot without unlocking bootloader.
The trick is going to EDL (download) mode when you're in fastboot using ADB. After you're in EDL you can use mi flash tool to flash official flashboot ROMs.
You can search the forums for how to do that, and since I don't own mi5 I never tested it, but from what I understand the mi5 have EDL mode, just like Redmi Note 3 Pro, because it is Qualcomm thing.
I was able to get back to official ROM with this method much sooner before my permission was granted (took 8 days before I got approved).
And please remember above method only if you want to go back to official build, don't flash custom ROMS (idk if that's possible) at least until you got your bootloader unlocked, flash custom recovery (twrp) then from there you can install custom ROMs.
Hope this help
Cheers.

Glad you've gotten it sorted, should have MIUI 8 now too as that's available, great phones once you get the vendor crap from them, mine (Mi5 Pro White 128GB) was the same purchased from EGlobalCentral
I installed MIUI 9 on my Mix, but I'm having a serious issue and need to switch back over to Global Stable. I downloaded the rom from the official site, I tried installing it through the phone by going into the updater, and that didnt work cause MIUI 9 is chinese only. Then I tried flashing it with my MI flash tool and that doesn't seem to work either. Anyone out there able to offer me any help with this, id be much appreciated.

Bar using TWRP and using the ROM from miui.eu think you might be stuck with what you have.
Hey guys, i got this problem:
When I flash the wayne image with MiFlash in EDL Mode, but the only i get is my phone bootloop (Infinite restart).
I heard that i got to flash with Mi A2 at Oreo version, but i have tried to do it from Oreo and Pie and nothing is changing
you are doing something wrong, check the guides https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/miui-10-install-guide-t3844729
to install miui 10 pie, you also need to install kernel hex v288 (find it in the forum)

You havent converted the phone yet if that appears
I wanna sell my phone. But i installed MIUI12 Beta Stable V12.0.2.0.QJOMIXM witch cleary has bugs and lags hard on some gaming. Is there a way to roll back to MIUI 11 with no custom recovery? Can i simply flash an older ROM thru Mi FLASH?
god itself cant do that even :|
Don`t even try

I wouldn't try that, remember Xiaomi has Anti-Rollback Protection (ARP), which prevents for security reasons to rollback to a previous MIUI version. When protection gets triggered a hardbrick may occur, or luckily just soft-boot.
About ARP: https://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-anti-rollback-protection-brick-phone/
However, I'm not sure which model of RN9 do you have, but if you're running Global version, it's ROM was recently updated to 12.0.3 and shows as "Stable". I would consider a much better option, trying to update to that one, specially if you haven't root your phone or installed a custom recovery.
Here's the link for it https://bigota.d.miui.com/V12.0.3.0.QJOMIXM/miui_MERLINGlobal_V12.0.3.0.QJOMIXM_0ec44a5b7d_10.0.zip
If you notice from the entry dealing with RN9 firmware on this page https://www.xda-developers.com/down...ing-out-several-xiaomi-redmi-mi-poco-devices/ the version you've installed has been rolled back (perhaps because of the problems you've been having) in favour of V12.0.3.0.QJOMIXM, mentioned by @ma259 above

You need to unlock your phone and to flash it with official rom on miui 11.0.5.0 with miflash

It can be done very easily.
Unlock bootloader, go to fastboot mode.
type
fastboot reboot fastboot.
Your phone should boot into fastbootd mode.
After that,
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase vendor
Then you can normally flash MIUI 11 with Mi Flash in fastboot mode.
Make sure you install these drivers. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JFYCZ3mu_Y_xpnS7QrmtwqOeFnWg6DO2/view
Other way around without unlocking bootloader, turn off phone, install the drivers above and connect your device to your PC.
Use sp flash tool to flash MIUI 11.
The MiFlash method is safer, SP flash method is faster.

Hi guys, I bought my Xiaomi 11 ultra via an exporter almost 6 months ago and I have been using it happily.
I updated to MIUI 13.0.9 recently based on the phone OTA updates and I have been experiencing issues with dark mode and notifications. Some apps don't show notifications despite me disablling MIUI battery saver and enabled auto start.
Been browsing this forum for awhile and reading all the guides but can't seem to find one that allows me to root and swap to Global ROM without losing my data.
I have tons of pictures and data in my phone that I don't want to lose.
Can anyone be so kind to point me the directions?
Regards,
James
Simplest and only way, LOSE YOUR DATA!!!
The other thing you can do is back your data up over cloud (google or Xiaomi) and then restore your phone once rom has changed
Can the unlock bootloader / flashing of the global ROM or eu rom work with the latest version of CN ROM?

Global rom still 12.x so if u want to flash from CN 13.x to global 12.x U must change some line in fastboot file so can downgrade rom
EU ROM seems like it's on MIUI 13.0 already. Would you recommend me unlocking bootloader and flashing MIUI 13 EU ? I'm backing up my phone now, just a little worried about my Google authenticator and my other crypto defi wallet like metamask and etc .

EU rom is china rom with some mode to make it global. And miui 13 stil has alot of bug (im using it 1-2 months) and i will change back to global rom soon
With me, eu rom sometimes got so laggy, refresh rate suddenly change to very slow value. Never met it in global rom.
Unlocked and flash another rom is a must do thing if u dont live in china. So u can try global or EU, what do u feel better. I come from eu to global, then try eu 13.x and now really want to fall back to global now

I would also recommend you to use Swift Backup for App / Messages / Call logs / WiFi PW backups. It works for most of the Apps so that you don't loose anything. Usually with Banking apps the restore doesn't really work. But there is usually also no data to keep with it. I always copy the Download and DCIM folder directly to my Laptop and after local backup also the full Swift Backup folder. Then I'm ready to wipe. I do that on a regular base (every 4-6 weeks) as the daily updates of CN rom sometimes make the phone a bit unstable.
Don't forget that your phone will be wiped once you unlock the bootloader.
when you unlock your bootloader there is no other option then format. It happens without asking it is just mandatory. Like @RoughNeck1971 says... i also use Swift to backup and copy DCIM directly to laptop
Question though, I'm now currently on MIUI 13.0.9 on CN ROM through OTA ever since I got it out from the box.
Am I able to flash to global ROM from MIUI 13 CN to Global ROM MIUI 12?
I read that OTA doesn't work anymore after changing ROMs,
So the propery way is to
1. Unlock bootloader,
2. Flash Global ROM with TWRP
3. Then full back up with TWRP whenever I want to update it to a new version of global stable ROM?
Sorry guys I haven't been in xda for a long time, since the times HTC sensation was released I meddle with some roms and radio updates.
Appreciate your guidance.
Regards,
James

First of all - when you go back to MIUI 12 on Android 11 then TWRP is the right way to go as it supports it. Then you don't have to care about changing line in fastboot for downgrade. But as long as you have TWRP installed instead of the xiaomi recovery you can't do OTA. But you can just "update" with the new full rom version.
If you should do a full backup with TWRP - can't really say as I never tried to restore a full backup. I wouldn't rely on it to be honest. Better to have everything backed up and do a new install if there are issues.

I am really new to custom roms after using iPhone for a really long time and forgot how to root the phone.
I am fresh on CN ROM, on 13.0.9.
Can someone verify or guide if the steps I listed are correct?
0. Backup all files
1. Unlock "bootloader" with Mi Flash Unlock
2. Install ADB and flash TWRP Image
3. Install Global ROM (just to clarify, i can go back from 13.0.9 CN to Global MIUI 12 right?)
4. Check with Magisk that I am indeed rooted.
5. Restore backup from Swift / PC / Xiaomi Backup
You had it right. But you need to keep in mind that it takes usually 7 days until your bootloader will get unlocked! Sou you "apply" for it and then the counter starts from 168 hours to 0. Only then it will be unlocked. Unfortunately there is no way to get around that.
Hi guys, is it possible to flash the 512GB variant with a EU/Global rom or this can be done with a 256GB variant only?
You will lose data. You must format when you change ROM branch. I have Xiaomi EU ROM on my 11 512 Ultra now but did have global. Storage size doesn't affect ROM installation.

But he is now at miui 13, so he must change fastboot file to rollback to miui 12 fastboot rom first
Then unlock, flash twrp and do everything else
Ah - OK. I understood that you have no problem installing Android 11 when you have TWRP running. Only to install Android 12 via TWRP has issues.

You must format data when changing ROM branches. This due to possible partition differences between them. You may end in a boot loop until you do format.
