I have Mi 4i on MIUI v7 Stable which i recieved through OTA.
I have already rooted my device and also installed a custom recovery twrp v2.8.7.0
1. As i read in every custom rom thread i need to degrade to v5.6 / v6.6 to be able to install the rom. How should i do it..?
2.What is the way to do it as i am unable to understand threads out here as well as on MIUI forum .?
3.What are fastboot roms..?(as i read on miui forum)
4.Is there any way i can flash the older version through a zip file on my twrp recovery..?
Please help thank you..
Well, basically there are 2 types of ROM, one is recovery ROM and another is fastboot ROM. Example, u can see in this LINK http://en.miui.com/thread-135200-1-1.html
Recovery ROM flashing - You need to rename the ROM to update.zip, then flash it using STOCK RECOVERY (not twrp)
Fastboot ROM - You need to flash using miflash - shown in this tutorial http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
When u want to flash any custom ROM, u need to fastboot flash your mi 4i to lower grade, 6.6.x or 6.5.x, then install twrp, and proceed install any custom rom that u want. Directly flashing custom from mi7 using twrp will makes ur custom stuck at selecting language or didnt boot at all.

Global stable is the rom that you want. Global beta and dev is usually updated in weekly basis. Its like nightly cm.

As I told you in previous post, the recovery ROM is flashed by stock recovery while fastboot ROM is flashed by miflash software through fastboot mode. Fastboot ROM has few extra items, like recovery img etc which makes it bigger. But they are technically the same with each other.

Download previous version and just flash it using stock recovery or just go to updater and select update zip and let it flash
It is official way to do it manually. Without any root or twrp
And don't worry xiaomi gives warranty even on rooting device

thanx for replying.dude... i know the TWRP process. It has backup and restore option. But rooting v 7.2.3.0 Is little bit hard(have to use pc). I just want to know if there any process for backup and restoring process without root as i want to downgrade without root and i dont want to go service centre.... thank u
When flashing MIUI, it is recommended to flash it via stock recovery as if you flash it with Custom Recovery (TWRP), it will output errors and flashing won't succeed. If you want a clean start, I suggest flashing via fastboot.
Thus, download desired version of MIUI, and flash it via stock recovery itself.
Those who are facing touch is not working after flashing custom roms:
1. MIUI 7 baseband firmware is not supporting for cutoms roms
2. so you should degrade the firmware MIUI 6.6.10 stable version through mi flash tool
3. Dont try to flash through recovery
4.flash all including internal storage
5.thats it . Happy flashing

Only once you should flash official version that i mentioned. after that u can flash any rom.... dont want to flash official everytime
If miui 7 stops us to flash ROM then why some custom roms works after flashing ?

Check if it is not corrupted ... Use latest twrp to flash it
You can download the last stock ROM at [ota.scloud.lfengmobile.com/ota/1523439935_FULL_X500_X500-CN-OP-DBXCNOP5902812084S-5.9.0.zip]
Attention: you cannot flash the package with official TWRP, only 3rd TWRP or official EUI recovery works.

Use OrangeFox recovery and flash that via fastboot. From there, you can flash the ROM on that version of MIUI. Kindly read the instructions on the ROM page.

Yup. However, if you are on the latest TWRP (3.5) then you can just follow the ROM instructions right away without using ofox.
