Hi i am on miui 10.0.6.0 and want to go on miui 9.6.4 and have locked bootloader (stucked on 300hrs error).How can i go back.Any link will be appritiated.

Thank you
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SunilSuni:
Method 1 : May not work but try it out

Download 9.6.4 recovery ROM and flash it using updater (You may get error message saying downgrading to older version is not possible)

Method 2 : In theory this should work

Download global beta rom and flash it using updater

now once again flash 9.6.4 recovery rom (this should work)

Method 3 : last hope

wait till you complete unlock waiting hours and then unlock bootloader and flash 9.6.4 fastboot ROM
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] RohitThakur04:
Thanks for thereply.

Would be glad if you can provide me the link of 2nd and 3rd method.Tried 1st method ages ago and got that error you mentioned above.

Thank you

Bhai any new update news ?? :laugh: I think 10.0.4 was somehow (battery wise) better for me :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SunilSuni:
Right now there is no update..

maybe next week we will get update with

1. December security patch along with ravamped navigation key (stock android navigation bar)

2. Lift to wake up option.

3. some additional settings in display

These options already available in beta ROM and Xiaomi yet to port these features to stable ROM

For me 10.0.6 is also good you can upgrade to 10.0.6
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mitu725:
I am on 10.0.6 bhai
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] RohitThakur04:
Thank you for the reply

Wanna know how 9.6.4 has arb4 patch since i think miui 9.5.19 was the last build of miui 9 of arb4 patch as i know.

Also thinking if i flash miui 9.6.4 rom via pitch black recovery and update miui 10.0.7.0 whatever update come,can i download ota directly or i have to use pitch black recovery again

.Since someone advised me updating vua fastboot rom you have to relock the bootloader for any error fix and should avoid ota after that.

Cutious to know this information before flashing those roms.

Currently trying your 2nd method.

Thank you :D
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jokerpappu:
just use firmwareless roms for safe upgrade and downgrade. you can just google it and it will show. its pretty easy. no long process. just flash firmwareless rom and downgrade without any risks

I am on Stable 9.2.13 and Want to go Global Beta Rom so Possible Flash with Updater App and Lock Bootloader Now

:)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SunilSuni:
9.6.4 is the last Miui 9 version

All the ROM above 9.5.19 version has ARB4

Yes you can update to 10.0.7 or any upcoming updates via pitch black recovery

It's safe to flash any ROM between 9.5.19 to 10.0.6 all these ROMs have arb4
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] RohitThakur04:
Thank u

So if i use use ur second method.My waiting time will be reversed or not.

So arb4 is on miui 9.6.4??
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SunilSuni:
Yes 9.6.4 is arb 4 ROM.

I think yes, unlock time will be reset to 360hours since moving from beta to stable will erase everything (Including mi account from unlock status settings)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SunilSuni:
9.2.13 is arb3 ROM and if you update to latest beta ROM then your phone will be arb4 after this you cannot rollback to 9.2.13 version

You don't have to unlock bootloader just download beta recovery ROM and flash it using updater

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SunilSuni:
Nothing much other than security patch update and updated Mi Recovery (some under the hood changes)

Yes, data will be erased

You can flash latest non arb beta ROM package to keep arb3 in your mobile
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] RohitThakur04:

Beside that, the only problem I have with december build was the problem for the Aidots to reconnect to the phone. It seems to interfere with the Wifi ON.

Anyone have seeing somewhere this issue spoted?

How does it compares to the previous version in terms of performance? Also did you notice that the code is changed from OEIMIFH to OEIMIXM, what does it mean?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SunilSuni:
I can say Far better than previous build and you will notice improved performance after updating to latest version

Yes since MIUI version is changed to 10.2.1 Xiaomi changed build code to OEIMIXM

Overall smooth experience
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ali.dilshad18:
I have downloaded incremental one. Do I need to rename the file or something?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Kéno40:
Always better to flash full rom but that's not the issue here.

Someone told that you have to wait. Maybe servers are not up to date yet.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] wewenk:
6. Screen Recorder now have option to use system sound as sound source

That's a huge relief! I hope they make it global soon so that we can also update.

Wow, that's what I wanted since a long time. Btw how did you updated, via recovery? I can't right now using updater.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] wewenk:
Yes, orange fox recovery..
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SunilSuni:
Yes, so many users were requesting this feature. It's nice to see Xiaomi listened to their users

Next wee for sure, i will update once it is available
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Klasputnikov:
If I download the incremental package, I have to install it by Updater App?

Yes.. install it using updater app or if you have installed any custom recovery then also you can install it using Orange recovery

Any improvement for the 60FPS mode? As a reminder, when you shoot a video at 60FPS, it doesn't use the Dual Pixel autofocus and instead uses the old aggressive autofocus every time you move which makes the footage unusable.

You can flash it but it will erase your datas.

take a back up first.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SunilSuni:
Actually 60FPS video is working fine now, no more dark video while recording @ 60FPS

It's working fine here by the way mine is Redmi Note 5 Pro (Some Redmi note 5 AI users reported that it's not working)

It's working perfectly
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] MarshallRawR:
While my videos were a bit darker than 30FPS, it's not actually what I'm talking about. It's the way the autofocus behaves. Xiaomi phones always had terrible autofocus which always tries to focus after you move even a bit, which makes the image goes out of focus then to focus for a second. All the time. Since we have a dual camera with Dual Pixel, the autofocus is fast, accurate and smooth. But if you record with the 60FPS mode, this old autofocus problem comes back.

Here's an example (don't mind the darker scene of 60fps, not my point)

https://youtu.be/1O-A-DxcvBI
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SunilSuni:

is there a fastboot rom for global, not china. version 10.2.1.0.OEIMIXM?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] MarshallRawR:
It's a bit hard to see here. A TV is not the best example and it's quite dark here. I'd suggest trying outside on something far (that would use infinite focus) and move a bit then stop, the move again. I'm not doubting the frame rate btw. I'm still running on the previous 10.0.6.0 as I haven't received the update yet (and why I'm asking for feedback :) Thank you though

after the update I can not install the twrp, I have this error "remote: Anti-rollback check failed)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Jehonan:
Put phone in fastboot mode. Connect him to computer. Open CMD on same PC with installed ADB and Fastboot. Then enter following: fastboot boot twrp.img (opened CMD should be in directory where You have downloaded latest TWRP recovery image, and ADB and Fastboot should be system wide installed). After this phone will reboot in twrp and after that copy same twrp image in phone internal sd card root and flash it with booted twrp on the phone (be careful to flash corresponding image (select to flash img instead of default zip) to recovery partition). This would be it in any case. Now Your phone should have twrp recovery permanently and should not be overwritten with default stock recovery, if i'm not mistaken. ;)

Statusbar of Miui 10 Little Bit Big So anyone Know How Much Dpi For Small Statusbar ?

:)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] darkrow95:
Well, here I post my feedback (that no one requested haha) about 10.2.1.0. It's actually a pretty good update, I downloaded the incremental package and installed via updater app. I have a rn5 pro 3/32 version with untouched miui and locked bootloader. I noticed an improvement on ram usage, almost 50% free with all apps closed, overall system fells slighty smoother. I like stock navbar and the new options on recents panel, but the battery percentage inside the icon is awful and can't be seen easyly. FINALLY we can disable the options panel on secure lockscreen, but we can still access to the power menu, hope they fix that on next update. Battery seems to be a little improved, but can't tell for sure. In my case, 1080p 60fps recording still has the dark camera problem. Screen recording finally allows to use sound system (I don't use it, but I think someone will be interested on that).

I'm pretty sure there's a specific varient of the Note 5 (Indian maybe?) that doesn't support 60FPS, it has different cameras from the Chinese/Global Note 5.

Check your model name in the settings and you'll know

Yup Video stabilisation is not working for 60FPS videos (but i dont know whether that was working previously or not)

No changes to stock camera

no option to increase battery % size, maybe you can try increasing the DPI in developer option

Yes you can install 10.2.1.0, wee have unified single ROM for Redmi Note 5 Pro and Redmi Note 5 Global variant device

just out of curiosity timbo , did it show up on wifi or mobile connection . my old honor 9 would only show updates if i checked on the mobile network for some reason . Oh and did you buy your phone in the uk ( argos ) or online

Is new update bringing july security patch? Whyred is my first Xiaomi device, so basically I'm asking if is there a policy for security update. Are always they delivering security patch with monthly delay with stable version and a couple of weeks with developer one?

Thank you!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ra9na:
I don't understand why this is a big deal... If you unlock the bootloader you can flash whatever you want or not?

And the newer version SHOULD be better than the previous ones...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SunilSuni:
you can expect stable update for every two weeks (sometimes it will take longer time to fix some serious bugs)...

nope this update doesn't bring July security patch it is still on 2018-06-01 patch level.... we can expect July security patch within this month.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SunilSuni:
Some users reported that they bricked their mobile after installing twrp recovery.... well in theory once you unlocked your bootloader ARP doesn't make any sense... moreover one can reflash present build anytime.. example 9.5.19 bring anti rollback protection but if something happens we can reflash 9.5.19 version anytime
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ra9na:
Until now it was possible to flash TWRP without unlocking the bootloader?

If that's true then you have to be careful to install TWRP only once the bootloader is unlocked.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SunilSuni:
to flash twrp recovery or to boot into twrp recovery bootloader unlock is must..
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ra9na:
OK... then I don't get how those users could brick their devices by simply flashin TWRP on an unlocked bootloader?!

Probably you have to wipe the phone afterwards?
