Will I'm not sure if it makes a difference but I changed the rom to WW first. Don't see why it would make a difference though...

Possibility to install GSI?

Hi all,
I have a WW Rog Phone II
According to
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki
The rog phone II has a tick next to it, so that would suggest that someone has managed to run a GSI on it.
Can anyone confirm and provide full steps to go from 100% stock to GSI again, ideally confirming it worked for you beforehand (I don't want to loose all my data unlocking my bootloader and flashing only to have to return to stock.)
The bootloader unlock tool on
https://www.asus.com/tw/Phone/ROG-Phone-II/HelpDesk_Download/
Does this work for WW variants or just CN
Thank you in advance,
To those who help - YOU ROCK

But why you need this option?
I flashed CN ROM, then I blocked the bootloader. When system got bootloop i just flashed CN ROM again with the help of this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-pro-gt/how-to/guide-unbrick-guide-lenovo-z5-pro-gt-t3915945

Keep in mind relocking your bootloader won't get you any OTA updates anymore. You will have to manually flash your device from now on, since your IMEI is blacklisted by Asus OTA server.

Is there a way to lock it again with my current firmware sir? My God I done very stupid things today. I don't even know how to flash a firmware manually. I just follow things on YouTube. But I'm a bit techy so if there's a way sir, please share it.

Could you express your problem in a little more detail? Like what recovery mode? And why do you need to wipe data? What errors do you get?
- Kenora
first important things: your phone is full stock? i suppose you have installed magisk with some modules. try entering in fastboot mode and ser your current active slot. switch to other slot and try reboot. but if u have a data backup, best solution is a full clean flash of full stock firmware via miflash or other tools
edit:u can also try reflash stock boot.img and vbeta.img with dmverity check disabled. seems a boot.img problem
Hello, friend, I have the same problem as you, and it is completely compatible with your mobile phone hardware model, the same is M2103K19C Maybe the Global version model is different, so it cannot be updated, but not necessarily, the solution, do not update, Wait for the next version and try again, MIUI will launch MIUI13 update

the hardware of all region model are identical. camellian and camellian have same component, no differences
Already did that. And it worked. Thanks for help, anyway. Any ideas why Xiaomi launched this broken update?

Question Anti Roll Back

Hi, im running miui 13.0.13, battery life isnt as good as previous versions, before i roll back i wanted to check, im in the UK, my phone is redmi note 10 pro, SWEET. Im pretty sure it says rom version is Global. Does this have ARB? is there a way to roll back?, ive read some conflicting posts which threw me, some say the firmware has when global and its only EU versions that dont have ARB. Thanks.

Anti-roll back isn't currently active on any version of Redmi Note 10 Pro, all versions so far have the roll back index value of 3 so it's ok. Meaning you can roll back to previous versions if you're unhappy with the update. Though, to downgrade you would have to unlock he bootloader and downgrade using MiFlash or by directly flashing the Recovery ROM.
imho he meant rollback without bootloader unlock.
Thanks guys. Elinx yer i did mean that exactly, i really dont want to mess around unlocking bootloaders etc, i just assumed as you can flash a stock rom to upgrade without unlocking it, youd be able to flash any stock rom without needing to unlock, strange having to unlock it just to downgrade, there must be a way to flash a downgrade from the phone itself without having to unlock BL.

No, that isn't that strange, because Xiaomi thoughts are that older versions mostly are less secure.
With bootloader unlock you take that responsibility.

I get that, what i really mean is, theres lots of posts and videos online that suggest you dont need to unlock BL to rollback. this is why i ask these questions on here, to be sure and accurate and get the right info. im assuming once ive reflashed and older version, i can the relock the BL anyway.

MiFlash has an option to relock BL (checkbox at bottom of screen).

Imho ARB is about Android versions and it could be that rollback of Miui versions is possible if the Android version stays the same.
Personally with the knowledge about AntiRollBack I never will take a risk without unlocked bootloader.
If something goes wrong you are done.

There are two ways I know how to downgrade but the first one is the one which I haven't tested personally (but people on TG tested and it seems to work for them, do more research about it)
1. The rename trick, you can fool the Updater app to upgrading by downloading two roms (one is the upgrade rom and one is the downgrade rom). Just after selecting the upgrade package on the Updater, switch both file name of the two roms so the upgrade rom gets the downgrade ROM name and vice versa. Munchy from YouTube did a great tutorial on this trick. Try watching it for the complete guide. This method doesn't require bootloader unlocking too (and no data wipe afaik)
2. This downgrade method is a lot more straight forward, we unlock the bootloader, and use MiFlash to downgrade the ROM and select the flash_all_and_lock option to relock the bootloader. This method does use data wipe. I've tested this personally downgrading from 13.0.9.0 to 12.5.6.0 but I didn't relock the bootloader on mine.

I can imaging that fooling is possible, but can't imaginge this is only done by renaming a file, without changing something inside the rom. So before you even try this I would check and doublecheck all info about that method.
edit:
I see that a sort of the same method is done here for upgrading to a beta build
Personally I find this very tricky with locked bootloader, because Xiaomi can change something without notifying and you have a bricked phone.
Thanks again chaps. Yer ive seen the rename thing, 6 different posters have done it with success, in all honesty i dont think id try it, i was only bothered mainly about ARB on RN10Pro. I will unlock and wait however long the time period is then just downgrade, ive tried looking for tutorial vids but all seem posted by an Indian chap so ive no idea what hes saying, ive downloaded Miflash but when i start it up it keeps saying i need to install drivers, which ive already done, ill keep looking tho, there must be a good tut somewhere with all the drivers and tools needed.

Cheers thats what i thought, i was just thrown a bit because it says miui is miui global, and 13.0.13 matches the global roms, i dont see that version for EEA. Yet as you said SKFEUXM says its EU not global, Maybe Xiaomi need to work on that so its clearer.
