I am a new user of Xiaomi Mi 4i Indian version. I am on MIUI v 7.2.3.0 with no root and so no TWRP installed. As i have to be on MIUI v 6.6.10 for flashing most of the custom rom, plz tell me how to downgrade using stock recovery(as i dont have root and so no TWRP installed)? And what i have to do if something goes wrong during downgrading process. plz help me..... i don't want to my phone bricked.
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.

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.

Whats d diff between Recovery rom and Fastboot rom..?
And as u provided the details can u help me how to fastboot flash my device to v 6.x.xx..?

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.

Just take stable one for now. You can then try each of the ROM easily once u get the gist how to flash ROM properly. Good luck.

Did you check to see if your bootloader is unlocked before you flashed TWRP. If your bootloader is locked it won't let you flash anything that isn't stock.
Flash your stock recovery back on the device and then check status of bootloader, if its locked, find the unlock method if one exists for your model and firmware build number. If you can unlock then you can flash TWRP.
Bt I flashed many rom, many times....I think bootloader is open

Use TWRP Manager from Playstore to flash your recovery again.
For future reference, TWRP will flash .zip and .img files, next time you can flash the TWRP update in TWRP instead of using an app. After flashing the updated TWRP you go back yo main menu and select Reboot and then select reboot recovery, it will boot reboot into the updated recovery.
Yaa 1stly I try with TWRP manager bt my phone is not listed there
And what is the easiest way to get recovery back

I think its a lollipop thing...
Actually most of the .img files can't be flashed in lollipop or MM wid any app
Either use another recovery to flash a recovery zip or with PC
Should I use sp flash tools..to go back to stock rom...?

Using adb install twrp recovery in your mobile. You can watch the proper procedure in YouTube. After installing twrp you can install any ROM made for your mobile using twrp.
Letv le 1s: In recovery mode it is showing only for 2 options (without twrp) 1.update system 2.clear data
If I download resurrection remix ROM and install it via 1.update system directly what will happen ??
My mobile USB data sync is not working, so am not able to install it in twrp and not able to root it.
How can I install resurrection remix is in my mobile ..... Please help
Thanks in advance...
