Need stock recovery for Xiaomi Mi A2

Can someone create a stock recovery from his Xiaomi Mi A2 phone?
Thank you.

Back to Android oreo

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

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!
