It is possible. Tried it.

why do you want to go back?

Most likely because it is a beta build, although the latest stable is far from stable. Or possibly because he may have used it to fix the camera bug people have been talking about. In any event, it seems like he took the risk and successfully downgraded.

How? Can you tell me the process? I wan't to install stable from beta and i don't know how. Thx

I was on latest Global Beta Stable and flashed Official Global latest (10.1.2.0) after I entered 1st time to activate my associated phone it asked me to re-enter password but gave me just number pad, so I can't enter letters.

MOTO X4 reads "0" IMEI

Hello XDA Fam, I've come to you for help.
Before it is asked, I did search around forums/threads but I really do have a hard time navigating around this site. And from what I seen there was no answers that I needed. Currently my Moto X4 XT1900-7 which I believe is on a factory image, no longer connects to my carrier. It is able to tell me the actual carrier but that's about it. The reason why I ask is because I'm on a completely stock image that's been updated via OTA.
I believe I lost my IMEI, carrier connection ( call it what you will) and orientation ( when you rotate your phone) after flashing this rom https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x4/development/rom-pixel-experience-t3876195.
Since then I've been lost. Please if anyone has a recent up to date fix for this I'd be very keen to hear from you.
I've heard of injecting the IMEI, and tried but some guide I followed on XDA was unclear. And I'm not even sure if it would fix anything .. So again if you have a clear up to date guide on this, I'd be very appreciative.
Thankyou for your time to read through. Any info you may need I can try and provide. I hope that I haven't upset anyone with posting this in the wrong section. Or the fact that it's been asked before. If so you could attach a link for me to follow
Thankyou XDA fam
Any Info you may need I can try and provide

Alright... flash full stock Oreo and after that full Pie image to get your imei and sensors back, your device has still 7.1.1 modem and it's way too old for pixel experience. I don't know if you can flash directly Pie since we started from 7.1.1, got 8.0.0/8.1.0 and then 9.0.0 but to be safe flash first 8.x and then 9.0

COR-TL10 - I want to install a global ROM, is it possible??

As stated in the title, I'm helping someone (trying to anyways) with their Chinese variant of the honor play, and am having a lot of trouble finding any information or success stories for getting a global ROM on the Chinese variant. I confirmed that this phone has an unlocked bootloader. I saw one post saying that it's simply not possible because of a different modem in the TL10, please someone help me out. This Chinese ROM is problematic. Otherwise great device!
Thanks
Probably not as while debranding it may end up with locked frp. Had this been other variant, I just posted a debranding method in development section

Well whatever wouldn't be the Chinese version, everytime I reset it it reinstalled all of the bloatware, and it won't even let me change the launchers. So I guess whichever is the most stable global version. I've found information but I found myself confused by must of it. I know how to use ADB and root and install TWRP.

Flash global or eea on global beta?

Hey guys,
I was on global beta but since that's dead now, I tried to switch to global eea V 10.2.26.0 but I couldn't.
I got an error that's said " looks like the rom security patch secure version is lower than the current one ".

Unlock the bootloader the flash the Global Stable fastboot one...
That's the only way?
You can try this tool https://forum.xda-developers.com/Mi-9/how-to/guide-xiaomitool-v2-flashing-eea-ru-cn-t3934966
But best way is unlock bootloader and use Miflash to flash Global and lock bootloader

Tried it but got the same error.
That's really annoying from xiaomi, if you are going to end the beta that's fine but give us a proper way to revert to global.

Question SKAMIXM Android 12

Hi everyone,
Anyone tried SKAMIXM 12.5.3 which is a stable MI PILOT version?
I did not get the update but I found it on MIUI downloader app.
If anyone interested or want to test it and let us know, link below. I have not tested it my self.

I'm pretty happy with the phone right now so I will wait for the official release

I don´t think you should recommend a rom without knowing if it´s working on the Mi 11 Ultra/Pro or not. And you have to present a manual for how to install.
Why? You can get people running in big problems, myself tested version 12.5.1 and got bricked and the only solution was to pay 30 euro to be on stage again.

Question No network on developer preview 1 and 2

Hey after flashing Developer Preview one I got no network connection.
My device is a Chinese version with global Rom.
NE2215
I also tried flashing the Chinese version and the EU version and it didn't work either.
Any ideas?
All the settings in the connection options are greyed out. I cant set the APN manually. Everything is greyed out.
you probably lost your imei. sorry to say, but you likely have a very expensive brick on your hands.
Got similar problem on 1+. The imei is available but both sim cards do not find network. It occures not only on developer preview but on all ROMs

if you lost the imei, then no you can't fix it unless you previously made a back up. go into settings and checkk if it's still there or unavailable
My problem is only happening in developer Previews of android 13
After I reverted back to android 12, everything works again. Dunno what it is. I did a log the last time. Maybe that will help someone.
I can active the sim with entering the sim pin. The sim tries to activate, but it always aborts. So the sign for the not entered sim in status bar is disappears and comes back again. Same with the options in network settings. They randomly grey out and come back again.
I got a Chinese version flashed du NE2215. So I got NE2210 hardware with NE2215 Rom. Maybe this causes my problem. Cant either flash NE2210 or NE2215 developer preview. Both have the same problem.

The question is not why I do such "experiments". The question is, why it doesn't work.

Nope, you just can update via local update. A nice how to is on the OnePlus forums. There are also all downloads you need

Yeah, because you have a higher version of Android 12. You have to downgrade first with the android 12 package.

Did not have any problems with locked bootloader. For me it worked.
Dunno what this guy flashed
All in all you do this at your own risk. No one guarantees you anything
And read the post. It has nothing to do with locked bootloader. This is when guys flash without knowledge
