HELP: convert 6x to A2 - Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers

Hello,
i have just received a 6x that has MIUI 9.5 installed on it
i want to convert it to A2 but i have never done this before, it is reporting anti: 2 which i guess is good since it is not 4
what are the steps to convert it ? the mobile is stock
EDIT:
can i install the below rom from xiaomi.eu ?
xiaomi.eu_multi_MI6X_V10.3.5.0.PDCCNXM_v10-9.zip

i have already applied for Unlock through Mi software and waiting for the 7 days to pass

That`s not true.
I didn`t try it, because there`s no reason for that, but this is how to put back from 6X to A2
To restore everything back to A2, do the same thing, just use the original stock with en.miui.com for A2 for flash ROMs. Flashing for the first time from EDL, then once again from the fastboot to restore the fastboot properly. After the first flash, you do not have a logo for fastboot, just a black screen. To put it all in its place, another flash is miflash but from fastboot.

EDIT: I`m sorry. I was think that You was convert your A2 to 6x, and You want to bring it back to A2.

You can try it. Since the anti-rollback still not activated (anti 2), you can just flash your device to Mi A2 with MiFlash. Use official stock ROM Mi A2 and put your device in EDL mode, then just flash it like usual.

I discovered all my sensors no enable.
How to fix this? What i can do?
I have this problem now. Did you ever find a solution?
If you are allready converted to 6X and have TWRP do this:
-boot to TWRP
-connect your phone to PC and copy persist.img from stock MIUI 9 ROM used to convert to A2 to 6X
-In TWRP go to Install, then Intall Image, navigate to your persist.img and Select Partition to Flash Image: Persist
-After flash, reboot to System and now your all sensors should work
I have attached persist.img so You can use this one...

Is fingerprint fast as original? Because I convert a2 to 6x but the fingerprint sensor was very slow.
FP sensor is working perfectly, precise, fast, face unlock instantly also. I am curently on MIUI 10 latest from xiaomi.eu and everything is fast and fluid.
Thank you i think it worked.

Guys, I can't solve the problem using this method with Mi 6x on MIUI 11, it only works on MIUI 10. I searched persist.img on rom MIUI 11 beta but I couldn't find it. How do I solve this problem using MIUI 11?

after i got miui 10 i sticked with it until miui 11 was launched, i just upgraded it and all still worked good!!! now im currently using pixelexperience 10, all is still good, i never again touched the persist
I am also using Pixel Experience 10 and I am no longer with this problem. PE already comes with API2 enabled, so I don't think it corrupts the persist partition.

Failed to flash Mi a2 ROM on converted Mi 6x

My Mi a2 was converted to Mi 6x and trapped on arb4.
I have tried flashing Mi a2 ROMS, but failed. it ends up with errors in twrp (I booted Mi a2 twrp).
Is it possible to flash Mi a2 ROMS on converted Mi 6x?

No, you have to flush only the 6x rums, and watch the arb Now that exists in Pixel Expiriencu!

1st time I converted to mi 6x, I was able to flash A2 ROM that I just needed to push a2 twrp then flash.
Since I got arb4, it becomes trouble in flashing mi a2. so, I am supposing it is the cause.
anyway, anyone has any idea or found a solution, please share.
thanks

Arb4 means no ways back as far as I know
ARB 4 has no solution!! (and i think will not have...)
I'm on this boat and the best solution (for me) is flashing the Havoc 2.5 for Mi 6x (wayne), the best ROM based on Android One
Use edl mode to flash back to stock. Edl wont judge you for being in arb or even when hard brick

Strange issue with mi a2

So i've got Mi a2 device and from the last week it has a brighter screen sections, around whole display (looks similar to the p20pro glue gate). So i decided to send it to the Amazon, but currently I am using the PixelOs ROM, so I need to flash it back to stock Rom, and then lock bootloader. The problem is, that I can't flash it via MI Flash (device error, or smth like that, all device tools doesn't work at all too), and when I wanted to just Flash it in TWRP I recognized that's support only .zip files and the Rom is in a diffrent format. Last time, I did ,,big back to the stock rom action" I found a website, with the commands, that allows you to flash it with GZ file, and Minimal ADB and Fastboot, but I just Can't find it now (Thanks Google), so I'm asking here: How can I back to the stock rom using Twrp only (or command prompt ofc).
Convert Back to A2
Download latest a2 stock rom.
Put phone to edl mode again (fastboot oem edl)
Flash stock rom via QFİLL with same method (Select .ddr and xml files from stock rom folder) and power up.
Done.
(If you have wifi camera or splash screen problems. Flash stockrom with miflash on fastboot (vol down + power ) again.)

open fastboot :
fastboot getvar all
there will be a bunch of info ...if the ARB number is higher than 4 the answer is NO
fyi: you can enter edl from fastboot or twrp custom recovery if your phone is in working order .. shorting the pins ( test point) by opening phone physically only becomes necessary if your phone is bricked
open fastboot :
fastboot oem edl
***something to consider is you can't just flash an android 1 rom ...you need to download the repartition script to repartition your partition layout or all attempts will fail
