Hi guys,
Just bought the Mi MIX running MIUI9 from eBay and the seller has been great, it initially had MIUI "find my device" active, so I flashes Lineage OS as it came with the bootloader unlocked, but Lineage OS shows FRP locked, weird because I though deleting System/Cache/Data partitions would remove the FRP lock, so asked the seller to remove the FRP and MIUI find my device remotely, so he did, FRP still shows on Lineage OS even after re-flashing, so got the MIUI 8 Beta fastboot ROM and flashed it, find my device from MIUI is gone and FRP seems to be gone as well, but here comes even more weird stuff, after this I did a clean flash of the EpicRom MIUI 9 based ROM and FRP is back, so fastboot flash again MIUI 8 and all is good, flashed Lineage OS and FRP is back on? How is this possible?
If the seller removed the device from his google account, this should not happen, unless it takes some time for it to replicate to the device, it's been 3hrs since he removed the FRP and still having issues, MIUI find my device took about 30min to replicate. Have you guys ever seen anything like this? Any ideas what is going on, why FRP is an issue on Nougat ROMs?
FRP status is managed in misc or frp partitions, not system/cache/data.

Thanks for the reply =) any idea how to clear those partitions? I found a work around, to use MIUI 9, I first installed MIUI 8 ROM and setup all accounts, then upgraded to MIUI 9 and still everything works, but when I reset the phone, FRP is back =/, but at least I can used MIUI 9 now without any issues, to use Lineage OS, also found a work around, installed Lineage OS without GAPPS, completed the setup and then flashed GAPPS, all working fine as well, haven't tried to reset after getting Lineage OS working, maybe I'll try it sometime this week, but if there is a way to clear the partitions mentioned above, please let me know.
Thank you again =)

1: you can use microg instead of the regular gapps
2: only setupwizard within gapps is querying for FRP
3: try flashing the fastboot rom from http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
Remember to select flash all partitions

I've tried the flash_all from the fastboot rom, but didn't work, so it seems that this does not touch the FRP/misc partitions? I'll try microg later, thanks for the support.
Sorted, guess when I got Lineage OS installed and then GAPPS setup, the FRP/MISC partition got updated with my google account, FRP issue gone, yay, now I have full control of my phone

Hi, so if you are in RR already, you will need to erase system and data partitions through twrp, and then install only RR ROM zip file, don't install GAPPS zip file, gapps is what will ask for frp lock, so install only the zip file for RR ROM and you will be able to boot just fine, don't worry about gapps for now, because after you setup the RR ROM, you can flash GAPPS through twrp and then setup your Google account when you start the play store. That's what I did and worked just fine ? let me know if this helped.
As far as I remember; the FRP(factory reset protection) was related to OEM unlock option on Samsung devices. So, to avoid this protection; users had to enable and keep it enabled the OEM unlocking option in developer settings. I think that happens(on mix) if you've received your device with unlocked bootloader(probably unlocked by unofficial way). I've got unlocked mine by my own account officially so never seen the FRP(probably the warning text is like: custom binary blocked by FRP) error when I was flashing in 9 months. Just saying
FRP lock
Hi,
so are you saying that if you have a samsung phone, unless if the original owner removes it from their account, the lock will always be there no matter what you do?
if yes, how do you remove phone from samsung account?
You all know that, now Mi phones will have anti rollback features while upgrading to MiUi 10.
Though A2 is stock androud, will it face any such kinds of restrictions somehow??
There is good post describing rollback policy in Android. Mi A2 was released with Android Oreo, so we need someone with phone who will check support of Verified Boot using adb commands provided in post:
Code:
adb shell
dumpsys package | grep "verified_boot"
OR
Code:
adb shell
getprop | grep "avb"

tried both, same result
Enter fastboot.
Type "fastboot getvar anti".
If none, the phone is not under Anti-Rollback policy.
If 2 or 3, it is under ARP, but is not yet activated.
If 4 or above, it is surely under ARP, and is already activated.

Be sure to check it before downgrading. Upgrading is okay.
Didn't see this thread (need to del the one I started just now), but yeah, mine also says '2'.
Sad to see that, didn't think the A2 would have this.
I was on V9.6.10.0, installed the OTA update (v9.6.12.0), tried to root with Majisk and things gone wrong. So, I flashed v9.6.10.0 again.
This counts as a downgrade?

Not sure, but knowing they've implemented this on the A2, I'd be ** extremely ** cautious. If it bricks, sounds like a serious pia to fix.
Boot to fastboot and type 'fastboot getvar anti'. If you get a number back, then it's been implemented on your phone. If you get nothing back then it's not yet implemented. It's possible this was just introduced?
If you flashed 9.6.10 successfully, try above command and see if it's implemented in that version.
That 2, 3, 4 is just the counter. Once you unlock the bootloader, ARB should be off in Android One phones.

From the Frequently Asked Questions at the bottom of said article:
<quote> Why doesn’t Xiaomi disable anti-rollback protection when you unlock the bootloader?
That’s a good question. </quote>
In Other Words: the article indicates it does not disable ARB after an unlock. Where do you get that it's disabled on their Android One devices? Because the article doesn't say that. I certainly hope it's true though.
Maybe someone with an unlocked bootloader can verify the fastboot query does not return a number?

From here:
"The biggest difference between Google and Xiaomi’s implementation is that Google’s anti-rollback protection is disabled if you unlock the bootloader while Xiaomi’s can’t be disabled. Once you install a build with anti-rollback protection enabled on a Xiaomi device, there’s no going back.

Hi! I have the MIUI 12.0.1.0 stable ROM but I do not like it at all, is there any way to go back to MIUI 11?
I do not have the bootloader unlocked but I can do it if it's necessary, but where can i find the stable build from MIUI 11 for the Mi 9T Pro?
Which steps must I follow to downgrade the ROM? Do I really have to install TWRP or it fits if I do it with only the bootloader unlocked?
When I do it, will I lose all the media like pics?
What's wrong with MIUI 12? The biggest surface changes are the font (which you can change via the Themes app), battery icon (this shouldn't matter enough to risk bricking your device), and the new control panel, which can be reverted in settings.
Downgrading OS will require you to wipe your entire device, otherwise you'll risk bricking it, so I very, very strongly suggest that you unlock your bootloader and install magisk so that you can solve your issues either through settings or by rooting, rather than downgrading OS.
I agree with AvgZing. Although unlocking bootloader is safer imo.
Miui12 isn't much different from miui11. and the control center can be disabled. You'll get updates that fix any miui12 bugs soon anyways. So just stick with what you have.
You have reason guys, i forgot I can change the contorl panel and do some modifications to customize the apperance. Thank you!
I wanna downgrade too, I've been getting horrible battery life on my Mi 9T after this update. When I bought it last year december, and it was amazing with 12 hours of screen on time, now barely makes it to 5

miui10 was a beast. it ran android pie, and gives 12hrs sot easily.
however 5hrs is very very low, you might want to consider battery damage?
Do try some aosp roms.
via root, I use naptime and servicely apps to reach 12hrs sot as well even on android 10, all aosp roms
Standby drain in MIUI10 was as it should be.
I don't actually use my Mi9T Pro heavily; most of the time it's standby. I went from charging once a week to every two days as soon as I switched to MIUI11. Clean flash, still a new handset. No change in usage. MIUI11 is absolutely terrible for battery life.
... and you're telling me it's worse in MIUI12!?
Something is seriously wrong with the updates for this device.
As in, 'get your pitchforks' bad.
Is there a way to go back to miui 10 from 12? I love how that ran and I don't use these gimmicks

thanks sorry but what is OF recovery? And how does one get to it? I have a mi10 on miui 12 (maybe can only downgrade to miui 11 but nevertheless the procedure might be similar-so am asking) When I go to recovery, (Mi recovery 3.0) I see reboot, wipe data and connect with Miassistant (Mi suite never connects-not had any luck on various Xiaomi devices regardless of miui level on W10 or W 8.1). Thanks for any assistance.

Don't use stock recovery.
OF = Orange Fox Recovery
just google with your device name. U should get OF.
in order to flash OF u must have unlocked bootloader,
( and OEM unclocking must be enabled in Developer Options )
u can follow these steps,
TAKE ALL BACKUP IN LAPTOP/PC.
boot in OF recovery.
FORMAT DATA.
reboot to recovery again
connect device to PC
copy Recovery ROM ZIP file to device
flash

The Mi PC Suite is a total mystery (never detects phone regardless which version-only thing remains not tried on Windows 7). It has not worked even on Mi Max 3, Mi Mix.

Hello there!
I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro, and yesterday I made the grave mistake of hitting that "update" button. What used to be a close to perfect smartphone turned into a pile of trash with about 10 GREAT functions REMOVED. Instead they added 10 new phone-destroying functions which make this phone close to unusable for me at the moment.
That being said, I obviosuly want to downgrade my phone to the version it came with apparently is V12.0.15.0.RKFMIXM (Global). Is it safe to downgrade to this version from the version I'm on now 12.5.1? Even if it's not safe, could you please tell me how likely it is that my phone ends up bricked?
Thanks! I hope this works!
If you have updated it using Official Updater app, then there is a high risk of bricking your phone. It depends on ARB index.
Try flashing Fastboot ROM using Mi Flash tool. If it's not safe to downgrade, Mi Flash will prevent you from flashing it.
Yes, I used the official updater app in settings.
OK so you're there's a chance? Because this 12.5.1 version is complete and utter ****. I REALLY want to downgrade. Please help me out here, this version is SO BAD that I have to buy a new phone if the downgrade doesn't work.
In order to use Mi Flash tool, your bootloader has to be unlocked. If you are not familiar with these process, I suggest you to follow this method instead.

I have not, because I have not received the update on my device yet. However I don't expect them to fix these god-awful "updates" in the next update, hence I'd rather just downgrade, which I'll probably try to do tomorrow. 12.0.15.0 was absolutely perfect (the version it came with) and I KNEW I shouldn't have updated ((

I have another Xiaomi I don't care about which ALSO has the horrible 12.5.1. Since I don't care about this device I'll try downgrading it tomorrow, and if it works I'll do it again with my Redmi Note 10 Pro
I'm really curious about those features you said they remove and why miui 12.5 is so bad, I was just about to update!
Hi! I would also like to know what is wrong with 12.5.1 on the redmi note 10 pro. Mine has 12.0.6 (Russian version I think), and I'm trying my best to figure out how to update it to 12.5.1, but I've read many comments saying it is trash.
Can you tell me your biggest complains? What I don't like about my current version is the 10 seconds always on display, and not being able to select an icon pack for the system launcher. Do you have those features on 12.5.1?
My friend, the uptade to 12.5 did not ad or remove any aplications or funtions.
My be you collect them from any place.

DON'T update! Here's a list of the worst ones:
1) They REMOVED the progress bar from the media players on the lock screen, so now you CAN'T scroll through music and audio directly from the lock screen.
2) The screen automatically shuts off after 5 seconds after receiving a notification and there's NO WAY to increase it, making it impossible to read more than 1 notification.
3) When swiping/deleting the last notification the notification screen automatically closes REGARDLESS if you had a media player or something else you wanted to check out, so now they're forcing you to open it up again every time you close the last notification.
4) The notification screen now has a non-removable "No notifications" text, as if I needed someone to TELL me that. Completely unnecessary and ugly as crap.
Note that these are NOT bugs, but features, so if you update you're never getting these features back.
I use a smartphone when I work and this crap only makes things harder for me! Downgrading today!
EDIT: These are ONLY my main issues, the whole update is super buggy and laggy ALL AROUND, so be prepared to add aother 100 bugs and glitches to that list!
Are you sure that you had that options before, at last 2 one impossible....

If you are going to unlock, you should try MIUI EU ROM first, It might solve your problem.

Hello!
the latest MIUI update I've received, 13.0.17.0.SKFMIXM, is not owrking as good as the one I was using, namely 13.0.16.0.SKFMIXM.
I've found and downloaded the 3.41 GB and something full rom and the OTA update of 266.39 MB.
I've tried with each one the following procedure:
rename the file to update.zip
copy it into the root folder of the phone
tap various time on the miui 13 logo to get the "select update package menu"
...every time it says that can't verify the update package, try via usb.
I was so happy with the 10.0.16.0. what can I do? I fear that a factory restore and a subsequent update will bring it back to 13.0.16.0.
Thank you in advance for the help.

Google fastboot flash with PC or recovery flash via custom Recovery.
For both the bootloader has to be unlocked. In my opinion there's no other way to rollback .
I've downloaded the right version (EEA) and now I'm getting the message "impossible to downgrade".
ahahah. this is so stupid.
I had a nice, fully working phone, now it's back to garbage and I can't rollback. starting from the battery usage - now I can't activate the battery saver and the drop down menu is transparent and unreadable unless i turn off the battery saver.
My only option is to navigate a jungle of fake infos and obscure downloads to flash the phone - since there is no clear guide. I might be wrong; if there is a CLEAR guide on how to properly flash a Redmi Note 10 Pro, where can I find it?
Cheers.

I advise to search for the right information on XDA and the downloads from Xiaomi servers.

Downgrading using the rename trick is not possible now due to OTA validation. But still, downgrading is still possible as long as the bootloader is unlocked (you can re-lock bootloader afterwards btw so no worry about banking apps).
Procedure might be something similar to this:
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Flash any latest OSS ROM (this is just to remove MIUI)
3. Use MiFlash and fastboot method to install old versions (re-lock if you want)
Alternatively, after No.2 you can directly install the old update through custom recovery and just keep bootloader unlocked. Though this means that you'll have to deal with hiding rooting and passing safetynet.
PS: Just to add, Anti-Rollback is not yet enabled for sweet so no worries with getting bricked while downgrading. Just be careful and flash appropriately.
Thanks for the kind reply, @BigChungus321 . Glad to hear that I can still unlock and lock the bootloader! at least for those 6 months of warranty.
Just one thing, in the step you suggested you said:
1. Unlock bootloader2. Flash any latest OSS ROM (this is just to remove MIUI)3. Use MiFlash and fastboot method to install old versions (re-lock if you want)Alternatively, after No.2 you can directly install the old update through custom recovery and just keep bootloader unlocked. Though this means that you'll have to deal with hiding rooting and passing safetynet.Directly installing the old update ( MIUI 13.0.16.0.SKFEUXM ) isn't the same as using MiFlash and fastboot to install the old version, or I am missing a part here?
In this very moment I've made a backup of all the pictures and a list of all the apps installed, to help googling them again later, in preparation for asking the MIUI lords the permit to unlock my device.
Also, I've a friend who has the same phone but it has never been updated; based on my personal experience, if I'd like her to avoid the issues I've found in 13.0.17.0, would it be safe to tell her to manually update the phone with the "select update package menu"?
wow.
I was ready to unlock the phone, but I forgot to unlock the "Mi unlock" in the developer options. So I went there and seems that I cannot unlock: I keep receiving the message "connect to the netwrok and try again".
Am I missing some piece of information here?

It is the same but I do encounter people who face anti-rollback error rejecting the downgrade if flashing from MIUI to MIUI. But going from OSS to MIUI, this arb check does not seem to occur.

No clue if that prevents the issue/bug you encounter. I usually just dirty flash the full rom update (not the incremental which is around ~200mb) in recovery and I don't seem to get issue this way, aside from recovery being replaced because dm-verity is getting activated again.

I've seen many people who have this issue too. Again, no clue how to fix this. Maybe reboot, and just enable mobile data. Try changing sim card or switching sim card slots. Use other Mi Account for unlocking. I did see discussions about how using the same sim card and same Mi account can on a different device can cause this. I still have no clue how to fix this though so sorry. Might be a good idea to use a fresh sim card and mi account if you still encounter it.
