Xiaomi Phone Downgrade Tutorial213

Introduction

Xiaomi phones are popular for their affordability and versatility. However, there may be times when you need to downgrade your Xiaomi phone to an older version of MIUI. Whether you're experiencing bugs or simply prefer the features of an earlier version, downgrading your phone is a relatively straightforward process.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding, ensure that you have the following:* A Xiaomi phone
* A computer with a stable internet connection
* The Mi Flash tool (downloadable from Xiaomi's official website)
* The fastboot ROM for the MIUI version you wish to downgrade to (downloadable from Xiaomi's MIUI ROM repository)

Unlocking the Bootloader

Before downgrading, you need to unlock the bootloader on your Xiaomi phone. This process is essential for flashing custom ROMs.
Enable Developer Options on your phone by going to Settings > About Phone > MIUI Version and tapping it repeatedly.
Once Developer Options is enabled, go to Settings > Additional Settings > Developer Options.
Toggle on "OEM unlocking" and "USB debugging."
Connect your phone to your computer using a USB cable.
Open a command prompt or terminal window on your computer and type the following command:
adb reboot bootloader

On your phone, a screen will appear asking you to confirm bootloader unlocking. Use the volume buttons to navigate and the power button to select "Unlock."
The bootloader unlocking process will begin and will take a few minutes to complete.

Downgrading via Mi Flash Tool

Once the bootloader is unlocked, you can use the Mi Flash tool to downgrade your Xiaomi phone.
Extract the fastboot ROM file to a folder on your computer.
Launch the Mi Flash tool.
Click on "Select" and navigate to the extracted ROM folder. Select the "" file.
Ensure that "Clean all" is unchecked.
Connect your phone to your computer in fastboot mode:
adb reboot fastboot

Click on "Flash" in the Mi Flash tool. The flashing process will begin and will take some time to complete.

Post-Downgrade Steps

Once the downgrade process is finished, your Xiaomi phone will reboot into the older version of MIUI. You may need to reset your phone to factory settings to ensure all traces of the previous MIUI version are removed.

Note: Downgrading your Xiaomi phone may void your warranty. Proceed with caution and at your own risk.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues while downgrading your Xiaomi phone, try the following:* Make sure the fastboot ROM file is compatible with your phone model and MIUI version.
* Check the USB cable and ports to ensure a stable connection between your phone and computer.
* Try using a different computer or USB cable.
* If the Mi Flash tool gives an error, try running it as an administrator.
* If the downgrade process gets stuck, try restarting the process or using a different ROM file.
