I unlocked the bootloader and flash Pixel Experience 12L. Now I want to go back to MIUI 13 and lock. MiFlash shows Antirollback error. I even flash Pixel Experience Android11, and MiFlash shows the same error.
I tried newest Fastboot firmware and nothing works.
You need to edit the .bat files and remove the anti-rollback check script manually. This happens to many people too changing ROMs. Don't worry, removing the anti-rollback check isn't harmful because ARB isn't active in the device yet. If you want, you can flash the latest MIUI recovery rom temporarily through custom recovery then try to use MiFlash.

i'm little bit confused about unlocking the bootloader on an mi5 device. I read somewhere that it's not needed if you use the updater app on the phone. i think this is only true for official rom's which came from en.miui.com it self?
can i use the updater app if i want to install the official en.miui.com 8 global rom without unlocking the bootloader?
if i want to install an xiaomi.eu rom, i will have to unlock the bootloader first?
does root on an official rom need an unlocked bootloader too?
there are more then one way to flash an rom on an mi5 device, updater app, fastboot and miflash tool, twrp(which is not preinstalled i mean?). but i read something about an edl mode, but cant find out what this does mean? is this maybe the fastboot and miflash tool mode?
many thanks!
best regards

Hello there,
what ROM are you running currently? Broadly speaking, you have 2 tools to change the ROM on Your device: the updater app and Fastboot (miflash uses fastboot too, and twrp requires fastboot to be installed). The updater app allows you only to upgrade your current ROM to the newest version. Fastboot (and the related tools) allow you to change ROM completely (e.g. switching from China Stable to China Dev or from China Stable to Global Stable or from China Stable to miui.eu Stable), and will also allow you to root your device through TWRP. To use fastboot, however, you will need to unlock Your bootloader.
Regarding EDL mode, it is the Miui stock recovery mode, which can be used together with the Xiaomi desktop application to flash new ROMs. It is not a widely used method, because the desktop app is quite buggy.
hello
many thanks for your replay.. i'm currently on miui 8, the global alpha version, so i already do an flash.. your answer is toop, again thanks for that!! but there are some new questions, edl is the miui stock recovery mode, does this mean the recovery as i know it already in a form from recovery.img? if i also want root i will have to flash twrp, this would then mean that the miui stock recovery (edl) wouldn't work anymore? so if i want to go back to an official global rom, do i need to flash the stock miui recovery first? the way to do that would be through fastboot? where can i get the stock miui recovery?
have an nice day!
Hi,
since many days I have a new Mi8.
The device is a chineese model, and because it was delivered with unlocked bootloader and a shop ROM, i want to use the latest Xiaomi.eu stable rom.
After flashing the TWRP, i cleared all (System, Data, Cache, internal storage) and installes the latest xiaomi.eu ROM.
Unfortunately the ROM was notstartet. Later i readed, that the xiaomi.eu ROM needs the system partition, so i tried to install some different ROMs.
All tested roms failed to install (device missmatch), so i tried to use different recoveries and at least i updated the vendor Image to MI8Global_V10.3.5.0.PEAMIXM.
After this, some Roms are able to install, mut the ROMs wont boot.
After a clean install of the xiomi global fastboot image, the phone is running, but i still have problems to install custom ROMs or the stable Xiaomi.eu ROM.
The fastboot ROM installation with mi flash tools ends with an error (Not catch checkpoint (\fastboot -s .*lock) Flash is not done (I choosed the option clean all, not the lock function)
cDroid Rom is working, but with this ROM i cant use google pay.
cDroid with update to xiaomi.eu weekly is also working, but also without google pay.
Xiaomi.eu stable - bootloops
Do you have any ideas why i cant use all ROMs?
Should i choose a chineesevendor image or something else?
I also heared, that it could be, that the device bricks, when i try to re-lock the bootloader, is this an option?
Which ROM should work fith functional google pay ?
Thanks in advance
The problem seems to be solved,
i have to flash "Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt" after the flashing of every ROM, then I have no bootloops / boot Problems.
Now i only have the problem with google pay...
I couldn't also get Miui Eu bootable on my mi8 last time. I didn't realize what you had mentioned Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt. But I could manage to get MiRoom Miui workable and it seems ok for now.

DM verity zip removes the 'DM Verity' check that looks for modifications to the boot partitions (D-device M-mapper). You cannot boot with modifications (like root) without disabling the verity check. Also, if you are on a stock ROM, your custom recovery image file will be overwritten with stock upon reboot if you don't disable DM Verity. Hope this helps you understand more.
Found it on this topic.
I´m still looking for a ROM with google pay support, but iu think with unlocked bootloader and without root therre is no chance...
Hi everyone,
I ask if the last build of redmi 8 (android 10) 11.0.1.0, is Rollback protected or not?
Connect your phone in fastboot mode and run "fastboot getvar anti", for me it always returned "anti: ", empty, meaning no rollback protection.
I tried it when i was on both 11.0.7.0 and 11.0.1.0 (EEA 4/64).
The Android 10 11.0.1.0 update was pretty buggy and TWRP didn't work with it so I downgraded to 11.0.7.0 Android 9 via MiFlash with an unlocked bootloader without issues, there was a scare though, after ~300 seconds it throws up an error: Not catch checkpoint but the phone booted up fine, it appears that this happens when you just flash without re-locking the bootloader.

Thanks for confirmation, because after entering "fastboot getvar anti" it write nothing after anti:
Then i have a question please,

And what is the problems i faced if i do this.
Thank you. :good:

I also wasn't sure what "anti: " means but found a forum post claiming this indicates no rollback protection so I took the risk.
Didn't try flashing different official roms but people do it, so it should work but why not flash a xiaomi.eu rom or MiuiMix just to be safe? Currently running debloated MiuiMix with LOLZ and it's really good compared stock EEA rom.
Hello, can I downgrade even on global stock 11.0.2.0 QCNMIXM to global stock 11.0.7.0 PCNMIXM with unlocked bootloader and no custom recovery (many people say that TWRP doesn't work with android 10)

NOT REALLY, I have read that there is bootloop issue after you flash magisk but TWRP works. NOT CONFIRMED.

Again, check if "fastboot getvar anti" still returns empty, "anti: ", if so, it should be safe to downgrade.
About TWRP, I didn't try it because this method isn't very useful if you plan to use TWRP more than once with maintaining your data but you might be able to flash something if you format data, make sure to format data, DON'T wipe it, but it'll require you to format data before every flash since TWRP can't decrypt and it's not guaranteed to work in the first place.
And don't try to downgrade from Android 9 to 10 through TWRP, you should use MiFlash to flash a full fastboot ROM, make sure to select "clean all" instead of "clean all and lock" to keep the bootloader unlocked just in case.
Try to do it on a laptop if possible, if your PC looses power mid-flash your phone might brick.
Hi All, it's time i clean up my K20 Pro as i have upgraded to a F2 Pro.
The K20 Pro has MIUI 10.3.17 CN ROM from about 10 months ago, bootloader unlocked, magisk etc.
When trying to miflash it with a MIUI 12.0.5 CN latest fastboot rom in order to get back to factory, the progress bar completes in 1 second, and status is green and success, BUT the phone does not reboot itself. Using miflash 20181115 with clean all option.
After i unplug phone and reboot it manually nothing was flashed - everything is still on there.
Any ideas?
Thought i would try doing factory reset from within the system and at first it appeared to be going thru the reset - however upon reboot, everything remains.
The other things is i have TWRP on it, wondering if i should do anything there?
Looking for assistance on what the correct procedure is...

Hi, how can one flash without miflash? and the miflash no believe is the last version I think.
Would prefer a miflash completely to get rid of TWRP too.
any other ideas why this is happening?

Xiaomi Flash Tool - Official Mi Flash Tool
Download the latest and Official Xiaomi Flash Tool from the Official Xiaomi Flash Tool Website.
xiaomiflashtool.com
try downloading latest flash tool from this website
if not then try flashing without flash tool and u will not be able to retain twrp if u flash fastboot rom by any means.
if flash tool doesn't work then just extract the zip i have attached here and paste all files of fastboot rom folder in this folder and run the flash_all.bat file and it should work if u have all drivers installed.
The newer miflash worked! thank you so much Ezio!
Would you happen to know if there is any way to get Google PlayStore onto a K20 Pro?
I saw some threads on 'just flash it with a global ROM' - which wasn't the case back a year ago when i had last tinkered.

yes i have an Indian k20 pro and i tried miui global rom it works fine except nfc didn't as Indian k20 pro doesn't have nfc hardware.
So yes u can do that if u want but do note that global rom has dialer and contact as well from google and not mi one.
I remember when I treid it a year ago it didn't work. The phone recognise the rom as for non-chinese and said the version was wrong. Are you sure?
Is the process same as fastboot flashing?
Guess of it doesn't work I should be able to fastboot flash it back again?
Thanks, I just found https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...Vaw1k6QstZklCOzbLJO2p_18T&cshid=1607339448068
I just have to remember not to lock the bootloader.
I have the model M1902F1A that had the MIUI V12.0.2 Global ROM and tried to upgrade to V12.5 Global.
Problem is, while the flashing was successful, I learned that my device was not compatible with the MIUI version that I flashed so I can't boot the device. But I didn't notice the "clean all and lock" was activated when I was flashing. Now I can't flash a new ROM because my device is locked, and can't unlock my device because I can't boot to allow in the Mi Account Settings.
I can still access Mi Recovery and Fastboot, but after 6 hours of searching I just couldn't find a solution that worked for me. Does anyone have any ideas?
