help me to downgrading from MIUI v 7.2.3.0 to v 6.6.10.

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.

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...?

Install Stock recovery for Oneplus one

I am on Lineage 7.1 and have twrp recovery installed on my device, I need to go back to stock recovery so that I can install all nightly updates using stock recovery only which is now not possible as whenever i download the update and try to install, it goes onto twrp recovery homepage.
Please share the procedure and stock recovery image also.
Thanks in advance

Need uregent help!!! Miui 8 , bootloop !!!!! How to install custom rom with miui 8

I wanted to install cutom rom in my Mi4i working on MIUI 8, so I installed TWRP from toolkit , which also installed SuperSU.But I don't know if my bootloader was unlocked or not?
I saw in a youtube video to flash MIUI 6 first to install Custom rom or you might endup in BOOTLOOP.
In TWRP I wiped Dalvik,Data,Cache,System.
Went to INSTALL, tried installing MIUI6 but that package failed to install. Giving error unable to mount.
I tried custom rom crDroid and it installed but when I restarted I WAS STUCK IN BOOTLOOP.
After a heartattack I finally flashed MIUI8 with MiFLASHER using fastboot image of MIUI 8.
SO, I want to ask IS THERE A WAY TO INSTALL CUSTOM ROM ,IF I AM ON MIUI 8????
And that bootloop was caused beacuse I didn't unlock bootloader when I installed crDroid???
Thanx in advance. Please somebody help???

I would suggest you to install Resurrection Remix as it is based on miui8 firmware.
You were stuck in bootloop because crDroid was based on miui6 firmware and probably your installation of the same was failed ( Like you're saying )
Since you get "Heart Attack", Prefer clean install.
Wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache.
Flash Rom, gapps,
Reboot to system.
Note:- To install custom ROMs based on miui6 firmware, first of all, flash the provided firmware in the thread instead of flashing the whole miui6.
Ask further if it doesn't work.
Hit thanks if helped.

If you can not into recovery or download mode, try to flash TWRP again.
Or flash back stock firmware if that does not work. Keep in mind to use Home_CSC to boot wipe your data.

Just flash stock firmware through odin again then boot back into download mode then flash TWRP and untick "Auto-Reboot" option then when flashing is done, boot into recovery manually to verify if TWRP is installed properly then you could boot back up to OS from TWRP it shouldn't loop if all went well. Also make sure that before you flashed TWRP, you enabled OEM Unlock and USB Debugging option in developer options.

It's fine , Flashing TWRP first time wipes your data thus you get bootloop. You just need to Flash a custom rom and evertything will he fine.

Yes since TWRP needs internal storage and data wipe to properly work with these partitions when coming from stock ROM but flashing a custom ROM after a clean wipe of the partitions should work fine.

HERE IS THE SOLUTION :
after flashing twrp with odin open twrp and format data after then there is a bug for j7 devices sd card won't work so u need a pc to transfer no verify encryption file to.internal storage here is the file or you can flash magisk 22.1 to disable keneral encryption
(THIS PROBLEM OCCURS BCZ AFTER FLASHING YOUR KENERAL FORCE ENCRYPT YOU TO NOT BOOT IN ROM BCZ OF SECURITY FLASH THIS FILE TO COMPRAMIZE KENERAL SECURITY )

Just Flash the custom rom you have downloaded.
Same thing happened to me when i flash recovery for the first time stucked at the bootlogo.
