A bit of backstory:
Ordered a Xiaomi Mi 5X (MDE2) from AliExpress. Tried flashing but then found out thru fastboot that I don't have a tiffany bootloader. And the Oxygen bootloader is apparently ported from the MI Max 2.
So I thought: "Why not just flash a Mi Max 2 Rom?" But I'm afraid to brick my phone... Can I flash Mi Max 2 ROMs on an Oxygen Mi 5X? Please help...
Dont even try it.. I already bricked my Mi 5x MDT2 oxygen bootloader. Dont even upgrade or downgrade ur device.

Can we Install Mi A1 ROM from en.miui.com on MI MAX 2 ?
as they are pretty similar in everything except screen size.
No you can't. You are gonna brick your device.
Well, I'm looking forward to buy a Xiaomi phone.
I never used a xiaomi phone before, therefore I'm thinking which one to choose? If I buy Mi A2, I'll get stock android ui. But I think if I get a xiaomi phone than why can't I use MiUI? Well, I know that Mi A2 is "Android One" device but is there any way to use MiUI 9/10 in Mi A2? If not now, than will in future?
Yes in the future you will be able to flash the Mi6x rom on your MI A2 if you wanna taste MIUI.
It was the same case with MI 5X/A2 !

Thanks for the info buddy! @marc2800
Are there any news about this developement? I like the hardware-specs but Android One is missing some usefull features, like one-hand-controll and twin-apps (usefull for e.g. whatsapp on a dual-sim smartphone).
Sadly buying a Mi 6X is no option because it doesn't connect to 4G networks in Band 20 (important for Germany).

I was able to flash the mi 6x fastboot rom, the bootloader works fine. The partition system is a little different from stock (android One) so a bit of work needs to be done. besides that, according to the Mi 6x forums they already installed our firmware (Mi A2) on their devices(Mi 6x) with no issues. So it is definitely possible, just a little beyond my area of expertise. If you want to check it out for yourself the link is http://en.miui.com/thread-3439864-1-1.html

I know. It is just a proof of concept...
Well.. the A1 still has no miui .. nobody ever got it working.

If you want MIUI then just buy any other Xiaomi phone that's available in your country. Why even bother getting A2? Just get any other device and flash custom ROM if just want the taste of stock android.
And regarding future development, I don't think any dev will waste their time on it because you already have a official phone with MIUI on it.
It doesn't even make sense to put effort in this cross development. A dev tried porting MIUI for A1 but it sees like the work is till in progress.
It'd be easier to install custom ROM on a MIUI phone than MIUI on stock.
Miui should not be too crazy to get working on our devices. It is just a matter of if enough people/devs want it and have drive to do something about it.

You can use aosp roms on 6x without converting.

Still no way to transform it to MI A2 with ARB 4?
The question "Freedom" in android does not apply to xiaomi. Hehe .. it's no accident that miui is almost a clone of ios.

Hi,
I bought a stock China Mi 6X (Wayne). It can't seem to install Samsung Gear app. Can someone please guide me on how to convert it to Mi A2? I love vanilla Android.
Thank you.
Hello, in some days i will buy a Mi 8 because i give my Mi Note 3 on a good friend because her phone was stolen! I have unlocked bootloader on Mi Note 3, twrp, magisk and some mods and i'm using mi-globe rom (based on xiaomi.eu) and i want to unlock and use the same rom again on Mi 8, but i'm scarred about ARB and bricks!
Any help? Thank you!
Unlock your Mi 8 bootloader, download and flash mi globe rom and there should be no bricks!

with only china miui(no gapps,no language support, chinese bloatwares) it is possible

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!
