How anti-rollback works? - Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers

I read this article, but I still don't understand completly how is anti-rollback gonna affect my phone.
Is it only MIUI thing or even with custom ROMs I won't be able to flash earlier version? Let's say I already have newest version of MIUI based on Android 9 so anti-rollback is present. Can I install, let's say LineageOS 15 which is Android 8.1? And can I switch between let's say LOS 15 and LOS 16 as much as I want? And... what if one day Android 9.1 is released and custom ROM is made, if I install it, does it mean I can't flash even the most recent version of MIUI until it would be based on 9.1 either? Cause it would detect that I had newer version and wouldn't let me flash it, right?
So the question is, I guess, does only MIUI check anti-rollback index before flashing or MIUI just activates this "feature" in my phone and then it's embeded somewhere deep and I'll never be able to go back again even with custom ROM? My thinking is... if MIUI version XY brings support for ARB it means, that earlier version, let's say XY - 1 doesn't have that support and therefore it can't check and know that it's earlier version, right? So that check has to be burnt into phone for good and it is gonna permanently affect my phone even without MIUI, possibly restrict flashing even for custom ROMs.
But I'm no expert, so I would like to know from someone who understands it.
Thanks!

Typically, there is no need to worry when flashing custom roms even when based on a stock MIUI rom. Also, this is an on-device problem, not something server side. Lastly, once custom recovery is in place, even if the phone were to fail to boot because of anti-rollback, I wouldn't see it being an issue since a custom recovery is in place and it should be easily recoverable.

Random reboots

Hello,
there are many people suffering from random reboots on mi5. is there a guide to get rid of those?
i bought a new mi5 which already restarted during the first setup. those reboots continued to happen randomly while using the phone. sometimes it isnt occuring for half a day and then it happens 3 times in a row.
there is something hat makes me think it is not a hardware issue. when the phone is in the bootloader or when i install a new rom through fastboot, the phone has never rebooted.
i have tried so many different roms (Resurrection, lineage os, different versions of miui) and they all have that reboot issue. some of them seemed to work better than others, especially with custom kernels like the dragon kernel it happened way less, but still several times a day.
is there something i can flash that is going to stop this rebooting?
when i got the phone the bootloader was already unlocked. i could find any information about that... i thought it might be due to the fact that it had an english miui installed. but is it always like that or are all mi5 shipped with a locked bootloader?
greetings!
Hi
I think maybe something wrong with hardware..also IMO.. if you're bought the new mi5, it should has a locked bootloader, no matter what miui rom version installed..bootloader should be at locked state if that's a real new mi5.
okay thanks thats good to know!
i havent really understod what the different firmwares are for. do they change the baseband version? is there anything else they do? can you recommend me stable firmwares or will they not change anything?

Ofcourse..different version of the rom it can be has different firmware/ bootloader too..it depending what the android version and the rom it self.
From my experiences trying some custom and official rom, the best until now for stable daily used what i needed is xiaomi.eu rom that's until now currently using it..it's miui rom that's still based from official miui china rom that are already optimized for global used. You can try used official global miui rom with more language already added but different from xiaomi.eu is official global to much google apps that i don't really needed it for my daily used, that's why i'm still using xiaomi.eu rom.
Had the same problem
Hello, I had the exact same problem as you on MIUI global 8.1.4.0 with locked bootloader. It didn't happen that often, but I think it has to do something with the RAM, if its completely full, the phone will reboot. I fixed this by installing the xiaomi.eu ROM, you always have like 1+GB free RAM with that ROM. As your phone is already unlocked, it is very easy to install a different ROM. I hope this helped you

[Help] [New] Miui 10 to Miui11

Hi all.
I've just bought this device. When I first launched it, it was on miui9, i updated to miui 10 stable 10.0.3.0 (8.1 Android) via ota. Then, I saw that I could also upgrade to miui 11. However, I've read that battery is worse than Miui 10 so I don't know If I should install it.
I've unlocked the recovery because I want to try some custom roms but I'm a bit scared of the anti-rollback.
Could you please tell me what should I do?
Thanks all.
Before you do anything you need to figure out which device you own. You bought it and you already unlocked the bootloader? That generally takes 360 hours, are you sure it wasn't already unlocked? If it was unlocked you probably have a Chinese device, and in that case be extremely careful about not relocking the bootloader. if the phone is not bound to your account ( linked to you personally) then you could brick it and have no recourse.
if you unlocked it yourself and you have a locked device , then don't worry about anti-rollback. So far it has not been implemented. Next, you heard wrong about Miui 11, its battery is equally as good. Although the best version of Miui and currently the most stable Android 10 overall is Xiaomi.EU which is a custom rom based on the china beta but globalised, with Google services.
Again do your homework, avoid extremely old posts that are no longer relevant. Never attempting upgrading your screen refresh and never flash someone else's persist image and you will be good. This community has tons of infor...read a lot and take your own notes.

Hi Thanks for your reply.
My device is global version (not just global ROM, I do know the difference)
I am unlocked the bootloader using the Xiaomi official tool, i had to activate the developer tools on the device and check the bootloader status and the button which was there ( U know what I mean). Besides, when I turn on the device it says unlocked.
I've read that miui 11 has kinda bad sot because of miui and/or the bug with WhatsApp. So I don't know if I have to update via ota and If I do that I don't know if I will have any problems while trying to install a custom ROM.
I've had a Xiaomi before so I know that I shouldn't install strange zips.
Thank you

Yes, the last build of Xiaomi.EU had worse SOT than usual ( about 5 hours. However, the issue was only with one of the weekly builds) I personally resolved that issue for myself by flashing the kernel from the previous build. Also, Xiaomi.EU is updated every Thursday so later today there will be a new build that will very likely resolve the issue. On the other hand the stable builds do not have an issue with SOT. At least not in my experience. I have averaged around 8 to 9 hours SOT.
I don't use Whatsapp, so I can't help you with that.
Since you were previously on stock you will need to backup your data, if you are still using stock, backup to MiCloud as well. This way if you use a Miui based rom you can quickly restored most of your data and partial settings. You will also need to format use storage (type yes, reboot to recovery)

I see.
I've just updated to miui 11 stable via ota.
BTW, Is TWRP the best recovery for this device isn't it? I've read that exist other types of recovery (not CWM but someones).
And my last question, I cannot find which version of gcam fits on miui 11 (Android Pie). Is there any thread, telegram channel?
Thanks for all.

Personally I use the TWRP that I posted here : I talked to a few friends / android developers on other devices and several of them believe that this a TWRP issue.
I have not had any more of these issues since using this TWRP https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80952013&postcount=121
If using AOSP, you should use the official version.
The best Gcam ( I Think is by Sanity )
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-san1ty/
FYI the builds made for the Poco F1 and Razer 2 are also compatible.

Thank for helping me.
As I've posted in the official twrp thread, I was able to install twrp and get to it but after power off the phone and try to get there again miui recovery was there instead.
I've installed the last build of twrp 3.3.1.1.
Maybe If I install magisk via TWRP I will have twrp *forever*.(?)
Thank you man

No problem.
After installing TWRP, you must initially install Root and then reboot to recovery.
Often you will see a message asking if you want to install the TWRP manager, click those boxes and then proceed to rebooting to recovery.
If you are using the full stock Rom, you must have root, so anytime that you flash the official Global stable rom, or an update, flash root again...unless you see via the Recovery terminal that Root maintained it's persistence.

from xiaomi eu beta to global stable / custom rom (PE)

Hi, im currently on xiaomi.eu beta 20.1.2. From what I learnt the firmware is updated to 20.1.2. If I want to flash Pixel Experience, which recommends 9.11.7 or higher. Should i downgrade my firmware? I heard downgrading will brick the device.
No ARB, isn't enforced by Xiaomi...not yet.
Make a local backup and save it to your desktop so when you come back to Xiaomi.EU you can restore much faster.
Instructions here: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads...om-restored-in-eu-rom-after.52880/post-510238
As far as the firmware, you can try a simple factory reset and try flashing, it may work since 9.17 is probably just the minimum firmware needed. But I am not sure because I haven't used that Rom recently. On the other hand, I can tell you that I tried some other roms recently out of boredom and for me they do not yet equal the current Xiaomi.EU in overall stability.

thank you very much for the swift reply! Yeah because some roms have firmwares built to them at a older version, i dont know whether flashing them will brick the phone or not. I'm just itching to try out the other roms at this state. I went from global stable to pe and many roms then ended up with EU. But as time goes by, needed to check out them at present state

Just be sure to get a full TWRP backup. I recommended the version on my Persist thread. if you have the full backup you will never need to worry.
Also, I certainly understand wanting to see what else it is out there. Unfortunately, many roms do not provide good how to install instructions. As long as you use the recommended firmware along with DM Verity if needed, you should not have any issues, and bricking your phone is very unlikely.
Before attempting to install any rom read the OP and the last few pages at the end of the post.

Need help in flashing cutom roms

I've got a bit more time to reply now.
OFox is really designed to be used with MIUI. The majority of it's extra features are specific to running MIUI. I would only recommend it if you decide to stick with MIUI in the long run.
The TWRP I pointed to is from the dev who maintains the official TWRP for our device. The unofficial version you've installed is identical to the official version, but with the TWRP app removed. If you intend to stick with custom ROMs, I recommend you stick with TWRP from mauronofrio.
If you prefer to have your phone encrypted, then there was no need to flash fcrypt/DFE. There are a small number of users that continue to insist that we need to disable encryption, but it is not needed.
Having the phone unencrypted does make life a little easier when flashing, but if you prefer the security and want to know about living with an encrypted phone, reply back and I'll give you more details.

I tried Legion Os which is Aosp based and it installed fine but then i tried Masik X 16 which again said this isn't for your device so had to make changes in updater script then it flashed fine.
Also i would like to know about decryption of storage and would it cause any issues in flashing roms again nd again..

If you want to be permanently decrypted, then you will not have any problems flashing ROMs. However, whenever you need to update the vendor and firmware, you will also need to flash the DFE script again.
If you want to be encrypted, then the best thing to do, every time you flash, is to temporarily remove encryption by removing all lockscreen security just before flashing, then once you've finished, restore encryption by adding back lockscreen security. However, if you restore MIUI, then choose to go to another custom ROM, you will need to format the data partition when flashing over MIUI, even if you've removed lockscreen security first.

Ok that means going from miui to aosp & vice versa - format data needed.
So this should similarly apply to all Miui based roms like xiaomi.eu or masik x or it is just for stock miui.

As far as I know, you only need to format data when flashing over official MIUI. I don't know the details, but it is my understanding that encryption on MIUI does not follow standard practice, which is why it it's necessary to format data when flashing over MIUI. I don't believe this issue exists with MIUI based custom ROMs, or when reverting back to MIUI.
Though, there may be occasions, when flashing from one AOSP ROM to another, and the phone is encrypted, when you may get a bootloop. In this case booting to TWRP and formatting data, will fix the problem. This is why I earlier recommended temporarily removing lockscreen security, if you choose to have an encrypted phone, even though this is a rare occurrence.

How To Guide Update to beta MIUI 13 EEA - Xiaomi Beta tester bypass

For those with the bootloader locked and are not beta testers, there is a way to update to newest MIUI 13 (android 12) without losing data. I got the European (EEA) version of Redmi Note 10 Pro, so the links will be for EEA version of ROMS.
Here are the steps to do it:
1. Go to settings - about phone - MIUI version and tap on MIUI 12 6 or 7 times until "additional update futures are on" will pop up
2. Download your current version of MIUI 12 ROM https://bigota.d.miui.com/V12.5.7.0...AGlobal_V12.5.7.0.RKFEUXM_03d5ef5aec_11.0.zip. Download it using a browser, do not download it with MIUI updater! It would be recommended to have the last version of MIUI 12, in my case is MIUI 12.5.7.0
3. Download MIUI 13 https://bigota.d.miui.com/V13.0.3.0...AGlobal_V13.0.3.0.SKFEUXM_73299ee316_12.0.zip
4. Put the 2 downloaded ROMS in the same folder, on the internal storage of the phone - for example: internal storage/download/downloaded_rom
5. Go to settings - about phone - MIUI version and tap on the three dots on the right upper side of the screen and select Choose update package, go to folder where your downloaded ROMS are, choose V12.5.7.0.RKFEUXM/miui_SWEETEEAGlobal_V12.5.7.0.RKFEUXM_03d5ef5aec_11.0.zip and wait until the notification " Your device will reboot automatically to update to MIUI version V12.5.7.0.RKFEUXM " appears, DO NOT HIT "REBOOT AND UPDATE" OR CLOSE THE WINDOW!! Simply go to home screen.
6. Go to folder you downloaded the ROMS using file manager and rename miui_SWEETEEAGlobal_V13.0.3.0.SKFEUXM_73299ee316_12.0.zip to miui_SWEETEEAGlobal_V12.5.7.0.RKFEUXM_03d5ef5aec_11.0.zip, all you have to do is change the name of MIUI 13 ROM with the name of MIUI 12 ROM you have selected in the update of step 5. TO be able to do that you should change something in the name of MIUI 12 ROM name, you can delete the last letters or add some numbers or letters.
7. After changing the name of MIUI ROM go back to update present on recent and press on "Reboot and Update", the update process has started by decrypting the update zip, after decrypt is finished phone will reboot. Now all you have to do is wait for your beloved Redmi Note 10 Pro to apply the new update.
First boot after update will take some time, don`t panic just wait. I did update my Redmi Note 10 Pro by using this method because I have a locked bootloader and I didn`t joined the beta tester program.
This method can be used on all versions of Xiaomi, Redmi phones and all regions (TR, ID, RU, IN, EEA, GLOBAL, TW) by downloading and using the correct ROMS. If your download a wrong version rom, for example if your Redmi Note 10 is using Indonesian version of rom and you have downloaded the global rom updater won`t let you to do the update, a message like Unable to flash Custom ROM will appear.
If YOU choosing to follow this guide, I am not responsible for bricked devices.
This is perfect, just installed it. However it still has old style quick settings, they might change some design in first official build...
Did anyone noticed that it changed the boot up screen? It no longer says Redmi when turning on but rather just the Mi logo. Same goes for the booting process, goes back to the Mi icon with the 3 dots instead of MIUI's letters boot up.
Yes boot up screen logo is new.
Also to anyone considering doing this, it's still in beta as it shows.
It's jittery, laggy and not at all optimized, you won't be able to downgrade unless you have your bootloader unlocked (which I don't because the phone is new so I have to wait 162 hours).
So flasher beware.
Would anyone be able to provide an answer to the problem that I expose below ?
According to what I read on the following French site https://www.nextpit.fr/xiaomi-miui-13-mise-a-jour-smartphones-compatibles, MIUI13 would be based on Android 11 and not on Android 12 ???
It seems to me really curious, even impossible.
Thank you in advance for your opinion.

I don't think you can downgrade, unless you have unlocked bootloader.
I'm running this beta for a few days now without a problem. There should also be official update this month and i'm sure most of the bugs will be fixed.
Hello,
Thank you, thanks to you I installed https://bigota.d.miui.com/V13.0.3.0...AGlobal_V13.0.3.0.SKFEUXM_73299ee316_12.0.zip, and it works very well,
then I installed TWRP twrp-3.6.0_11-0-sweet.img,
then magisk
and finally SystemRW/SuperRW (feat. MakeRW) v1.32.
everything is OK even the RW partition.
1000 times THANK YOU

This is perfect, just installed it. However it still has old style quick settings, they might change some design in first official build...View attachment 5523895View attachment 5523897View attachment 5523899

Actualizado a miui 13 siguiendo el tutorial, sin problemas, ya tengo miui 13, todo operativo junto con android 12
If I install the beta version this way, then when the stable comes, I will be able to install it normally?
Bro I install miui 13 Eea Beta version 13.0.2.0 from recovery ROM . Now I want to go back to miui 13 Eea stable version is there to go to stable ROM without pc
Can confirm this is working. Tricked MIUI to update from 13.0.6.0.SJDEUXM to 13.0.7.0.SJDEUXM. Trying by updater app said "This rom is intended for internal testers". This is f*cking genius xD
Hi ,
I have 13.0.1 installed already on my phone and i want to install it again but get an error "the rom is intended for "internal testers" make sure your account has the required permission" , how can i bypass this ?
theres an easier way, in the updates section just tick the box for receiving updates sooner than everyone else, i had it ticked and it updated a couple week back to 13.0.13 EEA. Much easier than flashing. personally i wouldnt recommend it, my phone came brand new from Xiaomi already loaded with 13.0.3, everything worked great, but since it updated to a Beta the battery life is worse, and the phone gets extremely hot when charging and it does seem slower and laggier. i havent managed to downgrade because bootloader is locked and i really dont want to unlock it and ive never flashed a xiaomi so im not 100% on the process. If i had the choice i would stay away from anything above 13.0.3 until the issues are resolved.

Yes, plenty of videos online and posts regarding downgrading, however it can only be done officially and safely by unlocking the bootloader and flashing the rom you want to go back to and will wipe all your data. that is the only official way, you can upgrade without unlocking, but to downgrade you need to unlock it.
