How do I revert back to Redmi K20 Pro stock rom? Currently on xiaomi.eu 11.0.5
This phone is from China stock; 8gb/256gb; Model: M1903F11A
I have unlocked it, and flashed xiaomi.eu 11.0.5
I would like to flash it to Redmi K20 Pro stock rom and lock it; because I want automated upgrades without the risk of wiping my phone and google apps are available in the original rom too.
Wrong place.

Get the latest Chinese fastboot ROM from here
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/raphael/
You want the Redmi K20 Pro China Stable Fastboot ROM.
Use this guide to flash it.
https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2
You need to view this page in desktop mode, if using a mobile browser.
In step 5, leave the flash option at the bottom of the Mi Flash Tool as the default 'clean all and lock'.
You must make sure you only do this with a Chinese ROM. You cannot lock the bootloader with any other region ROM on a Chinese model, otherwise you will hard brick the phone.

when I lock the phone, does it mean that the banking apps will work again?

So long as you've got the Google services working on the Chinese ROM, then it should pass SafetyNet, which is part of the banking app checks. From what I can remember, Google services are installed on the Chinese ROM, you just need to enable them and the Play Store - though things might have changed in the 18 months since I was last forced to use the Chinese ROM.

I have a Xiaomi Redmi 4x global Version, but the beta on this Website is a China Beta. Is it possible to install it on my global device?
I mean via TWRP
Yes.
Unlock Bootloader and Flash China MIUI ROM via the Xiaomi Flash tool.
But keep in mind that the China ROM does not have Google play Store.
Yes, you can install. just make sure to backup and make clean flash.
Thank you, for helpfull answers.
We are not getting it until end if July so dont worry about it

Yes you can flash the Indian ROM, just make sure you change the flash option to 'clean all' in the Mi Flash Tool. If you forget to do this you will brick the phone.
I believe that your phone will show K20 Pro in the About Phone section, after flashing.

Thanks, only CLEAN ALL and i should make sure the LOCK isn't ticked if my bootloader is unlocked right?

Why would you want to do that?
You gain nothing that I am aware of and lose NFC.

You gain MIUI dialer app which has call recording. Plus POCO launcher as standard, with its app drawer.
So if you never need NFC there's reasons for choosing the Indian ROM, if you want to stay on official MIUI.

Fair call. I forgot the global rom doesn't have the miui dialer. It is the reason why I am still on my original china rom and have not flashed the global one yet.
Hi guys,
I'm a Mi 9T Pro user and want to get rid of google dialer & messages too. I am about to unlock my phone and flash the Indian ROM.
I wonder what is the lastest build of Indian ROM and where I can get it safely?

Hello, i want to revert to from android 10 to android 9. Do I have first to unlock bootloader right? And then i just need to flash via miflash the correct rom? Does it void the warranty or mess up with L1 support? Thanks

Before you go back to 9 search for rotation problems, apparently auto rotation gets messed up. I went back to 9 and have that problem.
why everyone need revert back??
so curious

For me the reason is mainly the battery. I was on MIUI 10, Android 9 for just a week before update to MIUI 11, and as far as i remember, battery was lasting way longer than it does now, so i wanted to give it a shot...
yes there is a big SOT difference (in my case android 9: 10h+ SOT, Android 10: ~7h SOT)

I was really relieved that I didn't update to miui11 android 10 yet
me on MiuiMiX_2.3_raphael_V10.3.17.0_V4_v10-9_20190927.zip on Sept 2019
hope u all can downgrade to miui10 again..
Hi, I just bought a MI9T PRO a couple of months ago and I've made the stupid mistake to update it to MIUI 12 (Global Stable 12.0.1.0 qfkeuxm) which I don't like at all (animations, scrolling, speed...)
Now I want to downgrade it back to the original image that came with MIUI 10 (Global Stable 10.3.1.0 pfkeuxm) but since it's my first xioami phone after many years with samsung phones, I have some questions:
1. Is downgrade possible between these 2 versions of MIUI?
2. Can I flash directly MIUI 10 (10.3.1.0 pfkeuxm) from MIUI 12 with MiFlash if the Bootloader is Locked?
3. If bootloader should be unlocked in order to downgrade, which is the official app and steps to do this?
4. Does MI9T Pro with MIUI 12 (2.0.1.0 qfkeuxm) have any antirollback on it to prevent downgrade?
5. If I manage to downgrade it to MIUI 10 will all the sensors work? (gyro, wifi, bluetooth, wifi, HD videos, nfc)
About this I've read that I might be needing to backup persist.img and reflash it. Not sure how do I do that, from current MIUI 12 installed on my phone, from the fastboot image of MIUI 10?
6. What else can go wrong or I need to be aware about the downgrade procedure?
I don't want to root it, or to install custom roms on it, just to revert it to the previous stock image of MIUI 10 if possible.
Thanks.

1. Yes.
2. No, you need to unlock the bootloader. It can be locked again whilst flashing MIUI 10.
3. You can follow this guide to unlock, from the official MIUI global forums.
https://c.mi.com/thread-2262302-1-0.html
4. Not that I'm aware of, there's been none so far on all other versions.
5. They should all work fine. You can extract the persist.img from the MIUI 12 fastboot ROM.
6. Make sure you are flashing the correct region for the phone. If you flash the Chinese version, in error, and also try and lock the bootloader, you will brick the phone.
Follow this guide to fastboot flash MIUI, again from the official forums. If you read it on a mobile browser, you will need to view it in desktop mode.
It has links for the Mi Flash Tool.

Hi guys,
My friend bought a Redmi K20 Pro Premium Edition from China for me and I would like to flash a Global ROM on it. I don't need root or TWRP, so I presume I don't need to unlock the bootloader.
The current Chinese ROM installed on the phone is v10.4.4, but the latest stable Global is v10.3.5. Would flashing v10.3.5 Global brick the phone?
And would flashing the MI 9T Global ROM work as well, considering it's essentially the same phone?

afaik u must unlock bootloader to install other rom than k20 pro premium rom itself.
k20 pro premium is only available in china, so any global rom means it doesn't build specifically for pro premium.
The only official rom for k20 premium is Chinese ROM, all Global rom is modified version of K20 Pro/Mi 9t Pro.

I wasn't thinking of installing custom roms, I was referring to official stock ROMs. Apparently, you can just install the latest K20 Pro Indian Stable on the Premium Edition:

You will need to unlock the bootloader.
To flash an official ROM, but for a different region that the phone is from then you need to unlock the bootloader in order to flash a fastboot ROM.
It is not possible to flash a fastboot ROM without unlocking the bootloader

should work, but even fastboot flash using miflash need to unlock bootloader first(?).
yup sorry, I forgot you still need to unlock bootloader for fastboot to work. I know what to do now, thanks everyone!
also if flashing different region rom, never relock bootloader again, even if it was official rom.
Yup, I read that it'll brick your device if you select clean data and lock bootloader. Have noted this and thanks again for the confirmation / reminder.
You will need to unlock for sure.
It doesn't work like that
Maybe flash xiaomieu rom if u want full experience
OK, waited 168 hours and have unlocked successfully today. When I tried to flash via MiFlash, it says "mismatch image and device". I'm sure I read that the Redmi K20 PRO India fastboot ROM will work on a K20 PRO Premium Edition, so not sure why I can't flash it...
I also found a Android 9.0 fastboot ROM for K20 Premium here:
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/raphaels/
My phone is already on Android 10 MIUI 11. Will flashing an older version brick the device? I read somewhere ages ago that Android or MIUI doesn't allow downgrade?

There is no anti-rollback protection for this phone (I assume this is also true for premium edition), so you should be OK to flash an earlier Android 9 ROM.

Thanks! I can also confirm that there is no ABP, as I've verified it using this guide here:
https://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-anti-rollback-protection-brick-phone/
I was able to flash the fastboot ROM, but turns out it's just an Chinese stable, not Global or India Global rom. I don't know why I can't fastboot flash the Global ROM though. The Chinese fastboot ROM has the name "PFKCNXM" in it. So I'm guessing that if I find a fastboot ROM that is similar to that, it should work. I'm currently testing out the following:
- PFKMIXM
- PFKINXM
Download links here:
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/miui/raphael/
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/miui/raphaelin/
Neither QFKMIXM or QFKINXM worked for me, so I hope one of the above will work.
update: got this working. I first flashed this:
raphaelin_in_global_images_V10.3.5.0.PFKINXM_20190816.0000.00_9.0_in
And now I can flash both QFKMIXM (9.0) or QFKINXM (10.0)
As someone mentioned in a previous reply, NFC is missing in the Global ROM. I also noticed that the mobile signal strength is lower as well and that the Dual GPS is missing too.
Would flashing the China radio/baseband fix this? I know for phones like Samsung, you can flash the CP firmware, which includes the modem/baseband firmware. I don't know what the process is to extract the firmware from the China ROM and flash it. I guess if there's a .zip file that we can flash via TWRP, then that will work?
UPDATE:
OK, have flashed TWRP and flashed the firmware that I downloaded from here:
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware
Tried both the Chinese firmware and the Global firmware. Didn't really make much difference. I had -97 dBm and now I'm on -95 dBm. The lower, the better/stronger the signal. It is an improvement, but not by much....
My Note 10 Pro (6/128+64MP) has MIUI version MIUI Global 12.5.8.0 (RKFINXM). The battery performance is not satisfactory. I saw a post saying the global 12.5.6.0 version is good on battery backup. So I want to try that out. Don't want to void my warranty now by flashing any custom ROM or unlocking bootloader too. So my question is can I go from RKFINXM to RKFMIXM?? Can I flash MIUI Global 12.5.6.0 (RKFMIXM)?? If yes, then how??
Yes, With MI official flash tool
You need to have unlocked bootloader.
For HOW TO, check google or youtube there is tons of guides for that it all the same just use the fastboot rom file of your device.
