Sorry sir.

But i Dont know how to do them since i don't found any help from any other forum.

Thanks sir
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] otonieru:
just miflash and wipe it clean. forget your userdata. you go from custom rom to miui, no point in keeping user data.

also,

plenty of help is available. you just need to read.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SunilSuni:
Visit en.miui.com/a-234.html

Download latest fastboot ROM (or 9.6.4 fastboot ROM) and flash it using MiFlash software. It is highly recommended to clean flash while returning to MIUI ROM
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] RohitThakur04:

I'm a little confused.

My device is unlocked and has Redwolf. You are asking for the update to 10.2.1.0 (I am with 9.5.19.0 !!). I have to download this file and flash by TWRP, correct?

But ... which one do I get?

Incremental OTA link to 10.2.1.0 from 10.0.6

Full OTA Link (recovery ROM) for 10.2.1.0

fastboot link for 10.2.1.0

What's the difference? Why is fastboot there? Do I have to flash it too?

Thanks.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] RohitThakur04:
Incremental one are the roms to update via updater

Recovery one for twrp and updater from oldest to newest

Fastboot for clean flash or downgrade

Or to make sure for bugless update
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ubergeek9876:
Hi

I want to receive OTA without loosing my root and recovery t so I Iflashed orange fox recovery and I am on 10.0.6 0 came from

10.2.1.0 using firmware less rom

https://en.miui.com/getrom-341.html?m=yes&mobile=2

Can I flash the rom from above link I got it from official site

Is this full rom flashable from recovery or just an ota update
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SunilSuni:
Full recovery recovery rom flashable from either Mi Recovery or custom Recovery

Read first page of you want incremental update from 10.0.6 to 10.2.1
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ubergeek9876:
Thanks bro

It's cool to know that Xiomi had given recovery rom on there official page

https://en.miui.com/getrom-341.html?m=yes&mobile=2

Ok can I flash 10.0.2.0 or I need to flash your 10.0.6.0 because I came from 10.2.1.0 using firmware less rom
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SunilSuni:
Yep. Xiaomi regularly update their website with recovery ROM fastboot ROM (en.miui.com/a-234.html) and beta ROM with installation guide

Are you using firmwareless ROM (anti version 3)? If so then you have to flash firmware less ROM to keep anti 3 or else flashing official ROM will enable antirollback protection (anti version 4)

OTA links shared here are official links so flashing these ROM will enable anti version 4
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mitu725:
Happy Independence Day bhai:) any new update news??
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SunilSuni:
Hopefully by next week there will be a bug fixes update, nothing much

Let's hope on Android pie beta update

Happy Republic Day :) <3
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] alison.rm:
Nothing simple ... just the links, without other instructions. This would save countless questions and possible mistakes ... but come on, if you can clarify me I would be grateful!

I downloaded the 10.2.1.0 ROM from the official website and flashed it by MiFlash.

In the next actuations I should download which? Incremental, Full or Fastboot? I have TWRP / Root and I did not want to lose my data.

(examples)

* Incremental OTA link to 10.x.x.x from 10.2.1.0 -> use only if my phone is unlocked (using the Phone Update app)

* Full OTA Link (recovery ROM) for 10.x.x.x -> update if the phone is unlocked using TWRP (which one should I use? Will I lose the data?)

* fastboot link for 10.x.x.x -> official update by Miflash?

Thank you for your attention.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SunilSuni:
Since you are already using latest available MIUI update you don't have to download anything.

Incremental update = OTA update from one version to next version, very less in size and contains only changes between two consecutive version and this can be flashed using Mi Recovery (updater) or using any custom recovery which supports incremental OTA package

Full OTA package = Complete ROM package without any system application, this ROM can be flashed using system updater or using any custom recovery

Fastboot ROM = Complete OS with all the system apps and this can be flashed using Mi flash (required unlocked bootloader)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] RohitThakur04:
Hi sir i used recovery rom of 9 6.4 to go back from custom rom to miui.

Niw i want to flash official 9 5.19 fastboot for clean install because 9.6.4 recovery rom has few problem right now.

Sir i want to install 9.2.7 nougat ron after fastboot 9.5.19 using the guide in link

https://youtu.be/PKYBOzDjnXA

Is it really safe ??? OR. I should use firmwareless rom instead......??

I want to test nougat version in this phone.

Since my phone come 9.5.14 rom pre installed.

I didnt knew the arb when i updated to 10.0.6.0.

P.S. - i m flashing fastboot rom of 9.5.19 and my anti is 4 as i confirmed using cmd.Also it is.safe to install this version right...

Flashing this version since it has few issue. If battery drain

Thanks for your support till now
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SunilSuni:
No, it is not safe. Do not install official nougat ROM that will brick your device.

You have to use firmwareless nougat ROM to avoid bricking. But after downgrading to nougat camera will not work.

Proceed with your own risk
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] RohitThakur04:
So sir flashing fastboot 9.5.19 is safe for me my anti is 4

And can i flash this rom with clean all install on my current 9.6.4 recovery rom

Can u tell me why camera will not work ??

if no then in which nougat version camera can work.

Also i am using same 9.2.7 rom as mentioned in that discription

And any fix for that.......

I will appritiate for your help if u can tell me the guide to flash firmwareless rom

P.S./Edit - In that video I have downloaded same rom posted in discription just waited for your answer before i can flash

Thanks
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SunilSuni:
Yes you can flash 9.5.19 fastboot ROM with clean all option and it safe to do

Some camera blobs may not support after downgrading to nougat from Oreo but in that YouTube video camera is working so you can expect same result.

Proceed with your own risk. Make sure you follow everything as described in video
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] RohitThakur04:
Thank you sir.

I have decide that i will try flashing that rom since my device is already under warranty and i have met someone in telegram that have used that trick.

He told me weared way

to wipe internal too and install rom via sd card.

Edit - there is another same video

https://youtu.be/L4nRqwUfzAg

But here as you can see advance wipe is used

While in my old link there is no advance wioe just direct flah with same way.

I hope u can give me which one should i choose.

What do u think which rom should be best for battery 9.2.4 or 9.2.7 as in yhe video

Thamks you for your posts and answers
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] alison.rm:
Yes sir! My next updates will be Incremental by TWRP Redwolf!

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SunilSuni:
Don't know brother I don't use Jio network but for me speed is around 1 to 2MBps with Airtel 4G

And

900KB to 1.7MBps with Idea 4G
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] RohitThakur04:
Evrything works fine except magisk and gcam and root.

Since i dont use that i don't have an issue.

Have a good day
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mitu725:
:) I think I have to also switch to airtel, because in my area airtel also give 3-4mbps and in jio very slow like 2g speed in my area :silly:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SunilSuni:
Depends on area coverage, most of the users jumped to Jio network that maybe the reason behind slow internet

But Airtel didn't disappoint me in my area and speed will reach more than 2MBps easily

That's nice to hear and thanks for the information
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ubergeek9876:
Thanks for your answers this is the best forum I think because you seniors are answering noob questions ASAP

I am on 10.0.6.0 came from 10.2.1.0 using firmware less rom

I am on anti 4 so I can flash any anti 4 ie ROM after V9.5.17 but not V9.5.17 or older am I right

Big ota files are same as like which is posted on

https://en.miui.com/getrom-341.html?m=yes&mobile=2

but older version ROM am I right or u guys modified something in the original stock rom and named it as Big ota

Best Regards
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SunilSuni:
That's the beauty of XDA forum

Yes you are absolutely right you can flash any ROM from 9.5.19 to 10.2.1

All the ROMs below 9.5.17 has anti version 3 so flashing those ROM will brick your device (but you can flash anti3 ROMs bypassing anti version using dummy.img but quiet risky and I don't recommend that)

All the OTA links shared here are official one without any modifications (just a collections of official ROM links)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] RohitThakur04:
Hi I am facing a problem here.when i use brightness level below 50 percent my battery drain faster while in 50 percent it works just fine.I was facing this problem before when i flashed 9.5.19 rom via fastboot

Via mi flash tool.When i flashed that rom my status was stucked in flashing while my device was rebooted and send me on setup screen.

I was not facing this problem when my bootloader was locked.Do you think it is due to that mi flash tool???

If so any solution.

Thanks

Possible to Downgrade Miui 10.2.1 to Miui 9.5.17 With Updater App Right?

:)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SunilSuni:
Have you selected clean_all option ?? try reflashing completely and use latest MiFlash software

Which version you were using before flashing 10.0.6 ?? if you are coming from custom ROM then it is recommended to use fastboot method to return back to stock MIUI

Not possible dont flash arb3 ROM, flashing any version below 9.5.19 will brick your device but Mi Recovery will prevent device brick
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] elkhshap:
are the update late this month?

or maybe xaomi push android pie ???
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SunilSuni:

Which Oldest Rom Possible with Updater App To Miui 10.2.1?

:)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] RohitThakur04:
Only last stable one.

I.e. 10.0.6.0

But updater will not work.

If you want to use only updater then.

Flash the latest beta and then older one.But iits possible it won't work.

Do all steps at your own.I won't be responsible for data loss and data waste on that.

Hello guys,

I have some questions:

1. I've updated to Miui 10.2.1.0 Global via OTA and my battery is terrible, can I go back to Miui 9.6.4.0 Global without any problems? I won't brick my phone?

2. Bootloader must be unlocked?

3. When I go back to 9.6.4.0 and I will test my battery, can I back again to 10.2.1.0?

4. Recovery or Miflash? Which option will be better to do that?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] uckiller:
i also face same issue..my battery better in 10.0.6...had reset my phone but battery drain so fast

i just use telegram..whatsapp...shopee..chrome
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] RohitThakur04:
1.Try hard reset first

2.Must be

3.yes.use fastboot rom to downgrade and then use uodater to come back to 10.2.1.0

4.I will recommend Mi flash.When i flash3d it via recovery.Some feature were crashing like

No tranfer to oc via usb.I had to reboot once for the solution.I will recommend clean all option if possible.

When i did that mtly battery improved.Same for 9.5.17 since thsi version has zoom in portrait mide.Another thing u can't use recovery of older next version lije 9.6.4 after that.You can only flash 10.2.1.0 via updater or latest not backword oldest.You need fastboot for older upgrade and you can use save data option thos time.

Happy flashing
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xell75:
I can't get this terrible battery you guys have, one day a short time ago I got 10 hours SOT with over 2 days on battery without charge and short before that I managed to get 15 hours of SOT with a bit over 1 day on battery without charge. (All on MIUI 10.2.1) So where is the problem?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Samurajson:
Thank You for answer. I did hard reset and still draining... Are You sure that I have to unlock bootloader? Just read, when installing official rom I don't have to unlock.

Why updater? Can I use Mi flash?

To sum up... I can go back to miui 9.6.4.0 global using Mi flash, right?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] RohitThakur04:
Yes.usinng mi flah tool u can easily downgrade and upgrade any version u want but..........

Don't use version older than 9.5.19.All will work fine.

Bootloader is must unlock for downgrade

Fastboot rom are bugless but beware their size is double the original rom.

Good day.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SunilSuni:
1. Yes you can go back to 9.6.4

2. No, you don't have to unlock bootloader to downgrade older version but fastboot method is the easiest way to downgrade older version (too old) and bootloader must be unlocked for flashing fastboot ROM using MiFlash

3. Yes you can again come back to 10.2.1, make sure to do factory reset after downgrading to older version

4. Try recovery method if it is not working then go for MiFlash method
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SunilSuni:
MIUI version is not a problem, real problem is from how long we are using our mobile.

Redmi Note 5 Pro launched in February last year, suppose if the user brought this mobile in February then he won't get same battery life in 10.2.1 version

And the user who brought this recently will get good battery life

I'm using this mobile from last 7 and half months and I'm getting around 7hour 45 minutes of SOT with 4G data(I can increase my SOT if I do WiFi browsing)

So some people don't understand the fact that their mobile is a year old (or 10months old)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] RohitThakur04:
Hi flashed 9.5.19 version via fastboot.

Not i wanted to flash 9.6.4 via updater but it didnt work.Since when i used mi flash tool my sstatus stuck in flashing despite successful boot./flash.

Can i flash 9.6.4 rom with using fastboot method.

And if i have to use this method.Is theie any other way to flash fastboot rom.

Also if i flash using save user data by mi flash tool.

Will my data remain same like app installed and their data andd other files like music and photos.Since i flashed 9.5.19 rom fastboot and want to go 9.6.4

Will be glad if you can reply fast.

Thanks
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SunilSuni:
What error message you are getting while updating to 9.6.4 using updater ??

Yes you can use fastboot method to flash and also you can keep data since you are doing upgradation there won't be any issue
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] RohitThakur04:
There is error that.

Flahing to this version is not allowed.

Can you tell me another method to flash fastboot rom of this version.Like in a youtube video there is method via platform tools?:confused:

Thanks for your fast reply
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SunilSuni:
MiFlash will handle all the fastboot commands necessary to flash a ROM.

Anyway you can do that manually

Open flash_all.bat file in notepad to get fastboot commands and execute those commands manually (you have to copy all img files inside platform tool folder)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] RohitThakur04:
Thanks i will try.

So there is no way to use updater..........

Thanks again guys, everything went well. I did via mi flash.

Last question and I don't bother you any more. I have second mobile phone with the same situation (back from 10.2.1.0 to 9.6) but there the bootloader is locked. Can I back via recovery? Without unlock bootloader?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SunilSuni:
Yes you can use recovery ROM to flash 10.2.1 using updater
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] KrishuFC:
I used to think that too I bought this device in diwali sale in November I only updated it from official ota only till 10.2.1 update it was really great after that update I must say my charging time increased and also I was getting less battery time so I decided to take things in my hands and flashed 9.6.4 the same version on which I got this device so since last 1 month or more I'm on this 9.6.4 update and I can say it's simply the best update in terms of battery , performance and camera too

Wipe system data and dalvik cache and flash MIUI ROM

If you formated (not wipe but format) the data partition previously then go for fastboot method to flash MIUI ROM
