Back to Android oreo - Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers

I'm on the latest pie with December patch and everything is stock (locked bootloader and no root) so i wanna go back to stock oreo with keeping everything stock (without unlocking bl). I'm not a noobie i used to have galaxy s6 and have a huge experience about flashing stuff but it's totally different here with the mi a2, so I'd be pleased if anyone helped me

Hi elprince.
There is a workaround on this forum saying it is possible if you unlock bootloader and critical using MiFlash. Here:
How to revert back from stable pie to oreo?
However, Xiaomi blocked downgrade capabilities from Mi A1, A2 and A2 Lite on Pie Update and doing this could even brick your phone:
Xiaomi disables downgrading from Pie to Oreo on Android One devices, Here’s why
Warning: Going back to Oreo after upgrading Xiaomi Mi A1, Mi A2, or Mi A2 Lite to Pie may brick device
If you are an experienced guy/girl, take your time to read those links and downgrade if you think it is worth it...

They are wrong here, none of that is true and you'll always be able to roll back using mi flash

[HELP!] MI A2 Roll back from MIUI 10 with ARB 4

[
Hello guys, I commented that installing MIUI 10 in me Xiaomi my A2, I had the drawback of upgrading from MIUI 9 via OTA and I can not go back to Android one, according to and read in and asked in XDA, the forum MIUI and Telegram, there is no way to do it by the system Anti-rollback of MIUI and the fact that the A2 has the bootloader with a/B partitions and in MIUI occupies only one
Still no method to return to Android one?, I have ARB 4 and I'm in Miui 10. I am aware that there is a method to bypass and skip the anti-roll back system. Also that there was a tutorial in the MIUI forum to convert the 6x to A2 (from Miui 9, without ARB).
With those 2 elements you may be able to return to Android one or not yet possible and why not?
From now on, thanks for the support. I]
Any idea? Or method still working?
I have miui 10 beta 8.12.20 and really want to back to Android One!
i have good idea , you can brick your phone by downgrade MIUI 10 to MIUI 9 and Go to Mi Center and they will change your main board Congratz!!
you are now Android One again

At android one if u have unlock bootloader and critical anti rollback not working you can do everything u want, only be careful if u convert to 6x because anti rollback working unlocked or not.

No you can't i tried flashing miui china beta but it didn't took the flash. Only a2 rom will flash successfully. I had converted my a2 to 6x with unlocked bootloader. At a time i bricked it and it was stuck on edl mode. I tried to flash mi 6x rom but it didn't took that rom but when i flashed a2 rom it took the rom. After that i have to flash mi 6x rom again and it came back to life!
