Hi,
I upgraded to Developer 9.5.30 without unlocking the bootloader.
As of July 1, the developer update ends.
How do I get back to EEA ROM ?
What is the procedure ?
I think you need to unlock bootlader to do this "downgrade". After you can flash EEA fastboot rom package through fastboot. You only need to follow this guide here: http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
Btw you can try also without to unlock bootloader, if you see that unlock is needed, then unlock it and follow the above guide.
Beta will not end for flagship phones
Here info:

Thank you !

As I understand it, I will be the happiest upon changing to custom xiaomi.eu-firmware, but this requires me to switch to the china developer ROM first. This is why I want to unlock the bootloader.
It came preloaded with "MIUI Global 7.2.8.0.0(MAACNDB)" though, and I don't seem to be able to flash the firmware. When I check for updates it says: "no updates available" and when I manualy select the update package it says "Can't verify update".
Is my understandig correct? If so, please help me fix this. I'll be eternally grateful!
I got mine with 7.2.4 Global Rom preinstalled and had no problems with the unlock app from Xiaomi. Some people says that its possible with Global Rom to unlock the bootloader, i can only confirm it for 7.2.4 - But it should be possible with 7.2.8 also. You can find the instructions for unlocking the bootloader also here at XDA, search for it
To be sure you could change back to 7.2.4 by flashing with MiuiFlash in fastboot (or EDL) mode.
Please note: Please don't flash the latest Miui Stable CN or Miui Developer CN images, you'll lock you out of EDL mode with the newest versions...
If you need the link for 7.2.4 search the forum here or i can provide you with the file.
Thank you shade.sh! Once I receive my unlock code I will try with the current (non-developer) build first. I hope it gets to me soon!
I got my unlock confirmation after 9 days.
Sorry, I wrote a lot but it merged it with the comment and now I am not bothered to write it again!
Hey everyone,
I was just wondering what I need to do when i receive the device. I am in Australia and the phone might be the Chinese model.
So is there anything I have to do with the phone to make it usable as I've heard you need to flash on the global ROM.
How do I properly set up my device for use?
Thanks

Not easy.To flash the global version miui,you need to unblock your boolloader, then download the global package,and flash it with the miflash.But to unlock the bootloader,you need a mi account and make a Application.

If you bought from a chinese-based online store, most likely your device has a fake ROM. To get rid of that ROM, you need to unlock bootloader. No matter if you want to flash an official ROM or unofficial xiaomi.eu. You can try to change ROM with MIUI Updater app, but most probably it will not work from a fake ROM.
To unlock bootloader you need at least a couple of things: a xiaomi account you can create here Mi Account -> account.xiaomi.com
After you create your MI account you need to request unlock here MI Unlock en.miui.com/unlock and wait several days to be approved for unlocking. In my case it took 4 or 5 days before I received an SMS of approval.
Then download MI Unlock app (Windows) and search a manual for unlocking device (you need to activate developer options).
In order to unlock bootloader you need a Chinese ROM (stable or dev) but If I'm not wrong all 'fake' devices come with a chinese-based ROM, otherwise wouldn't be a fake ROM?
After you achieve unlocking you can flash any ROM, Global or China, unofficial like xiaomi.eu, etc..
Flash global rom without unlocking bootloader
There is a way to flash global rom without unlocking bootloader using special USB cable that you can make yourself if you still want to do so i'll gladly show you how I did with my phone.
If you are tired and irked by MIUI, I would strongly recommend you to quickly apply for Bootloader unlocking permission on the official Miui site. Afterwards, unlock your bootloader and install official TWRP recovery and a ROM of your choice such as CM14.1. That way, you will be able to experience the true "openess" and magic of Android!
You can install CyanogenMod ROM, but unfortunately you will get no updates, since project has been discontinued on Dec 31 . Their successor is http://lineageos.org/ but there's nothing on their web yet.
Do create a MiAccount.. and do remember your security pattern... what ever you intend to do next do those two things
no need to unlock bootloader.
Xiaomi flash ROM came with 2 method.
you can flash not only from fastboot mode ( bootloader mode ) but also from edl mode ( QDloader 9008 mode ).
- fastboot method need to unlock bootloader.
- EDL method not need to unlock bootloader .
EDL method even can unlock bootloader with unofficial method
Hi . . . I am new in redmi 4 but i know all about roms flashing and unlocking bootloader because i am tried a lot of roms on my previous mobile . . I want to know is possible to flash official miui fastboot update after unlocking bootloader on redmi 4 ?? And after flashed fastboot update is bootloader will be locked again ??
Yeah, you can flash official miui with fastboot. MI flash app have an option to re-lock the bootloader or simply flash the rom without touch anything. You can see this option at the bottom right of the program
Also can happen that you flash the rom and accidentally lock the bootloader, because this option is marked by default. In this case you only need to unlock the bootloader again with Xiaomi's program, don't need to wait 72 hours. This already happened to me.
With locked bootloader I prefers xiaomitool for upgrading or downgrading any miui rom.
Use xiaomitool it is safest tool
Tnx for the replys i got it

Phone will not allow you flash unofficial img when bootloader is locked. I dont think it will let you lock after flashing rom with unlocked bootloader. At least i cant manage to lock bootloader after debloating miui stable.
With locked bootloader only official update can be installed through the updater app and that to stable ROM.
You can relock bootloader again regardless if you use official MIUI beta or stable ROM.
You'll have to unlock bootloader in order to flash any other ROM let it be any ROM.
i bought a mi 9 lite and it came with the russian rom.
I wanted to unlock the bootloader and install the official globlal ROM with mi flash. can i lock the bootloader again with me flash when i install an official global rom?
or
is there a guide to install a global rom without unlocking the bootloader? and without using tools?
You need to first unlock your bootloader in order to fastboot flash the global rom (using MiFlash). After that in the MiFlash tool there is an option to "Flash all and lock" which will lock your bootloader again. Unfortunately there is not a way of doing it to my knowledge without unlocking your bootloader.
Here's the official guide here: https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2
Never, ever re-lock your bootloader as this will result in a hard brick that can only be resolved with EDL/authorized account!

Not to my knowledge. I have done it before with my device. Sure if you want to use custom roms/recoveries you will need to unlock your bootloader again which you can do if you are using an authorised account. However, if you are really worried about this happening, you might as well just keep your bootloader unlocked.

Before i could unlock my device, i was able to flash a global rom with a non official tool which name i can't remember.
Global rom was the only one i was able to flash. So yes it's possible.
ok
On which ROM and Device you CAN and CAN'T Lock Bootloader!
