[FAQ][Anti-Rollback] All your questions are answered here. - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi all.
So, as we know with recent MIUI update Xiaomi screwed our whyred. And this gave birth to many questions which is like a struggle for many users to find all those answers. So, I tried to answer all your questions. If you think your question isn't included please feel free to ask.
Q1: What is this "Anti-Rollback" thing?
A: Its a security measure that Google brought with the release of Android Oreo. It makes sure that your data is secure even when phone is stolen or if any attacker tries to downgrade the software and wants to gain control over your data.
Q2: How is this harmful to my device?
A: Well, as a security measure it should never give you a hard-brick. When someone tries to downgrade, it should display a warning and get turned off but there's difference between how things should work and how Xiaomi does. As Google has stated, "Anti-Rollback" should get automatically turn off when the user unlocks the bootloader but in case of MIUI even unlocked users are getting hard-bricks. Hopefully the developers of MIUI should push an update soon and if they don't, our beloved devs will find a way for sure
Q4: So, what now? Will Xiaomi solve this issue?
A: We do not know. But our beloved developers in the XDA-Forum will find a way for sure
Q5: How to know if my device is affected by it?
A: Run fastboot command :
Code:
fastboot getvar anti
The displayed output : 3 shall mean you're fine while 4 shall mean you're in the Anti-Rollback squad.
Q6: I'm in the Anti-Rollback squad what now?
A: Don't worry you can still flash custom recovery and roam around custom ROMs but avoid flashing any firmware or any MIUI ROM which is older than what you're using now otherwise you'll brick your device.
Q7: Which MIUI builds include "Anti-Rollback"?
A: All the MIUI builds which are released after Stable MIUI V9.5.17.0 and Beta MIUI V8.7.5 include "Anti-Rollback". And yes the Chinese versions are affected as well.
Q8: Do MIUI Stable V9.5.17.0 and Beta V8.7.5 have "Anti-Rollback" enabled?
A: NO. If you're on either of these builds you are safe to downgrade and use any older version.
Q9: How to flash custom recovery and custom ROMs on "Anti-Rollback" enabled devices?
A: On "Anti-Rollback" enabled ROMs you cann't flash custom recovery permanently. You'll have to boot into recovery first by running fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot boot xyz.img
(where xyz is name of your recovery file). Once you're booted into the custom recovery, copy the recovery image file in the internal storage and flash that recovery from recovery itself. Now you've successfully flashed custom recovery and you're good to go with custom ROMs. WARNING: Avoid flashing any firmware.
Q10: Can I migrate from Stable to Beta and vice-versa?
A: You can install Beta from Stable, make sure you flash latest Beta build same is the case with Stable. If you're on anti-4 firmware, whether its Beta or Stable you can switch to any anti-4 MIUI ROM Beta or Stable but remember you must flash latest version available while switching. (anti-4 means "Anti-Rollback" enabled firmware)
Q11: Can I unlock bootloader and flash custom ROMs on an "Anti-Rollback" enabled device?
A: Yes. Again to flash custom ROMs and recovery refer to Q9.
Q12Can I flash "Anti-Rollback" enabled ROM via TWRP?
AWell, in some cases it did work, just flash lazy flasher zip file after flashing MIUI ROM via TWRP. But while switching to MIUI from AOSP based ROMs on an "Anti-Rollback " enabled device I recommend you to go with fastboot method to avoid chances of brick.

Thanks for the above, but I believe that #9 is true. All MIUI roms regardless of version and anti roll back protection willl reflash the default MIUI recovery when you boot the OS. The only way to get it to stay is by flashing a custom ROM after TWRP, or by obtaining root and removing the "/system/bin/install-recovery.sh" file. If you're on anti-rollback you won't even be able to flash the recovery - you'll get an anti-rollback protection error.

This only concerns the "Xiaomi Redmi Note 5"?

For the Fastboot Command : fastboot getvar anti , I have : Anti:1 .. What does means ?
When you says "avoid flashing any firmware or any MIUI ROM which is older than what you're using now." , So Imagine if I have MIUI 10 Official with Android 8.1 and I Would like to flash like Xiaomi.eu or Lineage OS with Android 8.0 , The phone will brick ?
If I want to Flash Mod with TWRP Flashable Zip , the phone will brick or not ?
Thanks for your FAQ !

You answered yourself... It is ONLY for Redmi Note 5 (Pro) aka whyred! You are even in wrong device forum!

One doubt..... I am on AOSP right now. If I flash global beta 8.7.12 in twrp and then flash lazyflasher, will my twrp be removed !! Will I be able to go back to AOSP ?? @Saabu

After you flash a ROM that has Anti-Rollback enabled, you can still switch to AOSP anytime as I discussed in Q9. And yes, flashing lazy flasher simultaneously after MIUI will keep your TWRP.
Happy flashing

Hi, @Saabu,
Many thanks for the clarification.
However to enter the code through the fastboot, it has to be with the equipment turned off in fastboot mode, right?
Best regards,

I am a little concern about all this anti rollback matter...
well, the point is i am in xiaomi.eu rom, 8.6.28 (miui 10). I have checked the "anti" variable via the "fastboot getvar anti", and return 3.
Now, I would like to downgrade to miui 9 via twrp, and since I have "the 3 value" I understand that I can downgrade without any trouble, rigth?
However, I have found this https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/antiroll-back.44975/
Here a guy have tried somehing similar and...briked phone.
What do I do now? Flash? i stay in a rom version that i dont like?
Thanks for your answers

You can flash any MIUI 9 with anti 3 via TWRP. Dont flash the ROMs with anti 4 via TWRP. Last MIUI ROMs with anti-3 were: Stable MIUI V9.5.17.0 and Beta MIUI V8.7.5.

i have a question for my understanding. for example i want to install LOS 15.1. Where do i know if LOS uses ARB 3 or 4 ?

When updating to LOS/AOSP based rom, its installer does not include firmware update. So you gonna have the same anti value after flashing it. Btw, check their official thread, they have clear installation instructions now.

what about my warranty if my phone is bricked?
will they do for free of cost
as my phone got bricked today 3 months old phone

If I delete firmware update folder in any rom ( with ARB4 ,ARB4,any older ROM) and flashing that will brick my phone ?

Thanks. but now i have some more question. Sorry this ARB Think is
Which official thread did you mean ? I found the official installation guide but i can't read anythink about devices with ARB4
... sorry can't post the link to LOS
Another thing that makes me thoughtful is Q2 in the beginning. "As Google has stated, "Anti-Rollback" should automatically turn off when the user unlocks the bootloader but in case of MIUI even unlocked users are getting hard-bricks."
So unlocking the bootloader is essential for flashing a custom recovery. What can/ must i do if i have a ARB4 Device to install TWRP ? On the TWRP side i can't read anything about this problem
.. sory can't post the link to TWRP
So please help me because i don't want to brick my device

iam on 8.7.5 with unlocked bootloader can i flash custom roms like los and rr rom by using twrp

New in MI4C

Hello everyone.
I live in Brazil and I bought at the Aliexpress MI4C Xiaomi. I haven't received it yet, but I've already started researching ways to use it with another ROM than the original. The seller sends the device with google apps and multilanguage option. So, he makes some modification in the ROM, and says to not update the ROM officially on Xiaomi servers.
I see a lot of complaints about the Chinese bloatwares in ROM and so I wanted to install one that was good, but nothing with applications in Chinese or unnecessary ones.
My question is: in this case the bootloader is already unlocked?
In the meantime, I sent my request for unlocking bootloader to Xiaomi and received the SMS containing a link. As soon as I get the cellphone I intend to do the procedure. There is a risk of bricking the phone?
I’ll do appreciate good links with how-to and good ROM to daily use.
Thank you.
The seller shipping a modified ROM and telling you not to update the official would suggest your bootloader will not be locked. For now only flashing the latest official China dev builds will lock your bootloader.
Getting pre-approved for unlocking couldn't hurt though I guess.. just in case. You might need to have a working Xiaomi framework in your ROM to register your phone once though. If your ROM does not have the xiaomi services, I would suggest either Xiaomi.eu or sMiUI as a ROM, both are pretty much stock MIUI with some chinese bloat trimmed.
But most likely you will not need to unlock your bootloader anyway. You will need to check your bootloader through adb anyway before doing the steps to flashing a new ROM. You will best be flashing your recovery through adb, the instructions can be found through most ROM pages or simply searching TWRP Mi 4C. The command to check if it's unlocked is
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
A very extensive directory can be found in the INDEX thread, first in this forum.

you cannot check the bootloader locked or not by that way. My phone when checking this, gets the input "bootloader unlocked: false" but I can flash other recovery freely.
in his case, he is using a modified rom, it means his bootloader is not yet unlocked. Right now, if he wants to come back to chinese rom, he should use Mi flash to flash his phone. If he wants other rom like CM13, he should download the latest TWRP and the rom, put the rom into his phone storage. Then try to go to fastboot to flash the recovery, then go to the recovery and flash the rom.

Ah, that might be incorrectly reporting indeed. In any case when trying to flash recovery, if you're locked it'll simply fail and won't be harmful.
But why would you think his bootloader is not unlocked? If he's using a modified rom, it was probably flashed through fastboot or a custom recovery, both require the bootloader to be unlocked.
But even if he was not on a modified rom, stock Mi 4c have always come bootloader unlocked. Someone would have to have gone out of their way to lock the bootloader and I doubt any reseller would do that, they would risk a lot of refunds from angry customers.
I strongly advise against using miflash to flash any official rom unless you have no choice, since then there's a chance you WILL lock your bootloader. For now only dev builds are locking it, but the next stable release might very well too.
The first step should be to flash TWRP
The second step to stay away from Official China build
The third step to keep away from Official China build
The fourth st...
^ sorry my bad.... I was not focused. Actually I mean his bootloader is unlocked .
The safest way is flashing via computer, using mi flash or flash twrp image. You are right
1. Ur phone not lock bootloader
2. U can flash custom recovery...(TWRP)
3. "MUST" Stay away from official MIUI ROM
4. Flash whatever u want...sMiui, CM13, etc,etc
5. Remember Point No.3
***Btw, download official Fastboot ROM and keep it to ur drive, for just in case if u want to sell it again
Hello. Thank you all. I just received my phone. Great, btw. I'll read again and again all instructions and try. Thanks again!

Even as a last resort to getting your phone working if you did something wrong, please don't install the newer official roms, it's the mistake I did this weekend now I have a locked phone with a rom that has force-closes everywhere and absolutely no way back.

Don't flash the latest chinese rom.
No.
The only scenario where you would want to use miflash to flash a chinese rom would be as a last resort to flash the fastboot version of V7.1.6.0.LXKCNCK to restore your phone. Any later version will lock your bootloader.
If you don't care about locking your bootloader and the arduous process of unlocking it, you're easier off just taking all the latest updates OTA via the updater.
Hello everyone. Thanks for the help. In fact my bootloader was unlocked. I flashed twrp 3.0.0.3 and flashed the CM13 teamluminial, Android 6.0.1. Excellent. Thank you.
Hi!
Same scenario here..
I will receive Mi 4c with the Bootloader Unlocked, Rooted and the Multilanguage ROM.
But I have already received from Xiaomi after my request also the number for the official unlock procedure but now I'm a bit confused..
Do I have to unlock the bootloader once and for good with the official way?
Because I've read that the unofficial way isn't so secure in long term.
Do I have to install from the Updater the latest Cina Dev ROM and after that to proceed with the official unlock? Or it is better to use the Fastboot ROM?
Please could some one tell me in any case what to do ?
Thanks !
If you don't flash something that will lock your BL, no need to Unlock.
Ok first I must check the status of the bootloader to be sure that it is unlocked (via cmd control or cpu-z)
And after that can I choose an unofficial weekly miui.eu international ROM and install it?
Can I download and also update every week via Updater this ROM without issues?
At the moment my problem with flashing is that I don't have my pc (the one I have now runs win xp) and I don't want to stuck with the eventually malware or fully spammed modified rom of the reseller..
Which options do I have?

Flashing MIUI rom via TWRP without bricking

Hi Guys,
Got my Mi4c unlocked and rooted running cm14 however, when I try and flash an MIUI 8 rom via TWRP the device goes into a bootloop.
I am new to Xiamoi devices (Nexus user) am I missing something? Is there a patch to flash after a rom to prevent bricking?
I'd really like to try MIUI again but don't want to go through the hassle of unbricking my device and reflashing/rooting it.
Many thanks!
p.s Does MIUI 8/CM14 support f2fs?
You have to flash Developer version of the rom which is not out yet. The otherwise-rom package will always lock your bootloader and wont let u access the recovery after (thats why bootloop). CM14 supports F2FS, MIUI8 is still upon the old ext4.
I have the same brick as yours for now and I'm downloading the old 6.12.8 developer version bootloader flashable file to get out of this mess. MIUI is nothing fascinating and they break something with every new update. I'll go back to MOKEE until Android 7 gets stable enough.

Thanks for your reply. That surprises me that there still isn't an miui 8 developer ROM out yet for this device. Probably shall never come in that case.
Good to hear that f2fs is supported by cm14 though. Will certainly be running this once I receive my new cases to replace the girly pink cover my mi4c currently houses

Redmi Note 5/Pro Miui ROMs without firmware [fw-less]

Redmi Note 5/Pro Miui ROMs without firmware
We all know that Xiaomi added Anti roll-back to latest Stable/Beta ROMs and many users bricked their phones because of it, check my thread about ARB Here, then check out this one
Here ill provide Miui ROMs fully stock but without "firmware-update", to prevent any potential bricking while switching between Miui Based ROMs
Download Folders:
Here
Notes:
After flashing any of the builds above you cant go and flash FULL Miui ROMs to downgrade, just stick to my modded versions if you want to use older MIUI builds
No matter which Anti (3/4) you have, you can flash any of those ROMs with TWRP
Those ROMs doesnt affect your phone bootloader in any way, so you can roll back to your old ROM after Flashing any of the above builds
Old builds might get removed, so keep what you need locally, we will keep the latest 3 builds from every branch
Dont answer with false info's, i saw more than one reply with false statements
Be Nice to each other, no need for flaming in here
Dont post links to other ROMs here, i saw miuipro & eu links couple of posts back ( it could come with fw/bl)
Read OP, Search before posting
One more time, those ROMs wont remove or change your anti, if you come from anti 3 it will stay anti 3 after flashing, and same goes for anti 4
Again, if your phone is anti 4, you cant just simply go and flash FULL older ROM, even after flashing Modded builds, so stick with my builds
Anti 4 users can flash any of those builds just fine
[*]All the notes Above applies for My Modded builds only, do go and share it as facts for all Miui ROMs
Credits:
Me for the idea/testing
@akhilnarang for the script and mirroring @yshalsager for the script and mirroring
Note for CN Users
Note for CN Users:
before flashing any Global ROMs, you guys have to flash Global Cust from fastboot
Download Global Cust Here
Donwload dummy.img Here or attachments
then follow these steps:
Flash dummy.img from Fastboot to Enable Fastboot Commands
fastboot flash antirbpass dummy.img
then Flash cust-global.img
fastboot flash cust cust-global.img
Then Reboot into TWRP & Flash Global ROM
and this thx
so i can flash this over miui 8.7.12 and all the miui roms. doesn't matter if they are on anti v3 or anti v4?

No!!, read notes please, those builds contain system, boot & vendor only, doesn't have anything to do with bootloader or anti
Wait for Modded Miui 9 builds!

Excellent thought. Keep it going!
Stable builds are UP!!
Enjoy
Thanks! Are these flashable through updater app? I mean since I can't flash official v9.5.17.0 global over v8.7.5 beta now as we have newer stable version 9.5.19.0 with ARB which I don't wanna flash yet. Also I have locked bootloader still 165 hrs to go until I can fastboot flash and downgrade but i really wanna go to stable ROM asap.
@AL_IRAQI
Hello, I am currently in an AOSP and TWRP installed, I am wanting to install to EU 8.7.12. If I do, can I go back to an AOSP again?
Obs: I read the notes but I still have doubts

For now i'm on 8.7.5 global official with bootloader locked (5 day left to unlock the bootlader) ! can i update to 8.7.12 global with the updater app ?

Nice work bro.Keep up the good work

Going from 11.0.15.0 to Poco X2 11.0.7.0

Could anybody share how can I move from MiUI EU ROM for K30 11.0.15.0 to Poco X2 official build 11.0.7.0?
I installed EU ROM as I found flashing ROM with TWRP was easier than using Mi Flash tool, in case we want to switch between ROM's. But, after I installed 11.0.15.0 I figured lot of the custom ROM's do not boot after flashing them and phone boots into fastboot mode (except couple of ROM's). So, I have been looking at how switch back EU MiUI ROM from 11.0.15.0 to Poco X2 11.0.7.0. The issue am facing while flashing using Mi Flash tool is that it gives error of ARB (Anti rollback error: 2, also I checked the same by issuing fastboot getvar anti, it says 2), and I am not sure how to get past this.
Could someone please help me with this?
I think your device is triggered with anti-rollback. So you cannot install any rom with build less than 11.0.15.0 that is poco x2 11.0.7.0 cant be flashed. So, you have to wait until new poco build greater than 11.0.15.0 and then flash it. Until then, flash your existing rom or some custom rom. Do it carefully and dont ever flash older roms from now, if something goes wrong, your device will hardbrick and you will have to go to service center where they have authorized EDL access to your device to flash things. Best of Luck.
You can use full recovery rom zip 11.0.7 and flash it via twrp. In 11.0.7 zip make sure you change the devicename in script from phoenixin to phoenix as twrp is pheonix.
After flashing you will be on stock 11.0.7 and stock recovery.
If you want to try custom roms , you can just flash the stock vedor zip of 11.0.07 and then flash any aosp custom rom.(you can find this zip in telegram channel/github)

@eagle06 am worried about 11.0.15.0 > 11.0.7.0 which will trigger ARB as @vivek12341 has pointed out and it will hard brick the device, from what I have read around, hence this post if anybody knows a way out. There seemed to be workarounds initially when Xiaomi introduced ARB, I have not seen anybody mentioning such things in recent times especially for MiUI 11.
The reason why I moved to 11.0.15.0 is was, as it has no bloatware etc, and I did NOT know about ARB, now that I have 11.0.15.0 most of the custom ROMs are based on Poco X2 11.0.7.0 and I am facing issues flashing ROMs based on 11.0.7.0, as the format data from TWRP does not wipe properly + I see 98% of the time device goes to fastboot mode even if I flash Poco stock recovery and clear the data, seems like 11.0.15.0 is also an issue
May be I will have to wait till Poco releases updates > 11.0.15.0 or for MiUI 12. Actually I still dont know, not many know much on this subject.
crDroid works without any issues (which is what my current daily driver, its a very stable ROM), flashing on 11.0.15.0 after clearing data, also any ROM whose dev releases fastboot ROM's those also I can flash and boot without issues, rest all ROM's dont and end up back in fastboot mode

You should flash back to China rom (V11.0.15.0.QGHCNXM) using miflash and install TWRP-3.4.1B-0322 using fastboot. After that you can flash all custom roms as normal. I have tried almost all the custom roms and they all work without any problem.
Lol.. Bro i am on miui 12 beta and went back to 11.0.0.7 via twrp flash...
Just download this http://bigota.d.miui.com/V11.0.7.0....NGlobal_V11.0.7.0.QGHINXM_9c232b802a_10.0.zip
Open that in pc, modify the script and rename device name to phoenix from phoenixin.
On twrp format data.. Then reboot to twrp again, tranfer that zip file and just flash. You will be back on stock global 11.0.0.7
Also crdroid as you mentioned has custom vendor which is different from china eu or global one.
If you want to use fastboot zip then you need to use https://www.xiaomitool.com/V2/ to overcome antirollback error.

1. Which script are you talking about? I could not find any script. check attached snapshot.
2. And to do this step from TWRP to flash 11.0.7.0, do I need to be on MIUI EU ROM or I can flash from any custom ROM too?
3. You were on MIUI 12 beta (official global) and changed devicename from phoenixin to phoenix and flashed using TWRP after formatting data, without hitting ARB issue? Wow!
4. You mentioned https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82502389&postcount=3 Telegram/Github where we can get official vendor zip which we can flash from TWRP, any links to that?
5. Is there a Redmi K30 global ROM which I can use instead of Poco X2, they should be same right?

Please share telegram or github link for vendor.zip which I can flash using TWRP. As crDroid has custom vendor may be that is why it works for me on EU ROM and I see other custom ROMs do not have vendor installed while flashing using TWRP.

As a final resort will go to China ROM V11.0.15.0.QGHCNXM (this will be chinese right?) or this itself is global K30 ROM? Any links to global official MIUI K30 ROM, all I get is K30 chinese ROM
Sorry, I am asking too many questions, I do not want to brick phone in these times and go stand in queue at Mi service center during these times, when the servicing engineer will touch my phone all over
coolcorner said:

Its in META-INF/com/google/android/ file name updater-script. Change getprop("ro.product.device") == "phoenixin" || this to getprop("ro.product.device") == "phoenix" || . Why we are doing this? because we are using k30 twrp.. there is no special twrp for poco x2. phoenix = k30, phoenixin=poco x2
2. And to do this step from TWRP to flash 11.0.7.0, do I need to be on MIUI EU ROM or I can flash from any custom ROM too? Any rom
3. You were on MIUI 12 beta (official global) and changed devicename from phoenixin to phoenix and flashed using TWRP after formatting data, without hitting ARB issue? Wow! Yes with twrp. When you flashed twrp recovery , your device is now treated as K30 in twrp space
4. You mentioned https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82502389&postcount=3 Telegram/Github where we can get official vendor zip which we can flash from TWRP, any links to that?check Pm , cant post telegram links here
5. Is there a Redmi K30 global ROM which I can use instead of Poco X2, they should be same right?Theres no K30 global.., poco x2 rom is global, k30 roms is china and there is eu custom rom based on chinese roms
Please share telegram or github link for vendor.zip which I can flash using TWRP. As crDroid has custom vendor may be that is why it works for me on EU ROM and I see other custom ROMs do not have vendor installed while flashing using TWRP.
Whenever you want to use custom rom without vendor , you need to flash either 11.0.0.7 zip or 11.0.0.7 vendor zip before flashing that custom rom
As a final resort will go to China ROM V11.0.15.0.QGHCNXM (this will be chinese right?) or this itself is global K30 ROM? Any links to global official MIUI K30 ROM, all I get is K30 chinese ROM

It is a chinese rom. You can select english as your default language. It really doesn't matter as you are going to wipe it anyway if your purpose is to use it for flashing custom roms.

Just now I tried flashing V11.0.15.0.QGHCNXM using Mi Flash tool, and I hit Anti Roll back error again. Not sure what I am missing here I am on same version 11.0.15.0 EU ROM which has same Anti 2, not sure why the error this time?

Bro If you want to use fastboot zip then you need to use https://www.xiaomitool.com/V2/ to overcome antirollback error. Connect device and enable usb debugging and proceed.
Mi flash tool doesnt work for poco.....you always get that rollback error.
For fastboot zips use above tool.
For recovery zips use twrp.
Both methods flash the same thing and twrp will be replaced with stock recovery.

Thanks, really appreciate your quick revert. I am trying out with xiaomitool now. I know TWRP method is simple, just edit/change the devicename. But, I am **** scared after seeing ARB error so many times. So using xiaomitool as you mentioned use it to overcome ARB error. I will update how it goes.
I thought Xiaomi is dev/custom dev friendly, seeing all these errors, no wonder why people resent MiUI so much, of course the hardware + price is good. From my search even Google on their devices is not this harsh about ARB blocking after unlocking bootloader.

Thanks for the vendor image link.
Oh! yeah I am back in Poco 11.0.7.0 image, xiaomitool worked without issues. Thanks to you!!
@eagle06 do you know in this entire image (attached file) list (from tgz file) which is fastboot file? The reason I ask is, in Poco X2 in fastboot mode I see a single deadpixel, whereas when I was in EU MIUI I never saw that dead pixel. I plan to replace that file with EU MIUI fastboot image file, so when am in fastboot, it is clean without any dead pixels.
That small white pixel in fastboot is normal. All users have it including me.

Yep right that is the one. When I was on EU Miui, that one did not have, hence asked which is the image file for fastboot, thought I would flash that or replace next time I flash Poco stock when I am installing new custom ROM.
Yes, its a trivial thing can be ignored, does not really bother or harm.
BTW, so now that I am back in Poco X2 stock (On top of that I have installed BlissROM), next time I have to flash I can use either TWRP or Xiaomitool/V2.
1. For TWRP, I need to rename devicename to phoenix from phoenixin in updater-script and flash it using TWRP after clearing data
OR
2. I can use Xiaomitool/V2 with ADB debugging on (same step as last time)
Just check fastboot getvar anti for my phone, it also says 2. There is no problem for me flashing china rom with miflash. I have successfully flashed it 4 times before.
Good to have another way of flashing - will try the xiaomitool next time. :good:

Woah! Miflash tool kept throwing errors at me and you are saying it worked for you? Phew!!
If I had flashed using TWRP, I might have been holding a 200gm brick in my hands LOL. Got lucky by using Xiaomitool/v2 then Thanks to you. I will stick to Xiaomitool for flashing stock ROMs hence forth.

Android 11 Red Magic Rom [FLASHGUIDE]

Hello again!
I saw a post where leipnacht provides a link to the public beta of Android R. (I let you here a drive link to download it faster).
I flashed it and it's working properly on my device. There is some bugs, but the most part of the things works without problems (Personally, I didn't face any bug itself (only a low noise with the vibration by the moment), but there are some comments in the page of bbs nubia about some problems with other things.
The previous conditions from where I update to Android R Red Magic Rom were using a GSI in the Android 10 chinese version of the rom. So, the steps I followed are:
1. In the recovery, wipe data, cache and dalvik. Also, format data.
2. Flash in the Android 10 TWRP the Android R rom.
3. Flash this NikGapps Package , Magisk Debug and DFE (Encrypt disabler in order to be able decrypt data in the recovery). I also flashed Permissive_5 but I think there is no need to do it.
4. Boot and enjoy.
I will attach all the files and some screenshots for those who want to take a see to the rom. Personally, I feel no changes in this version, but, as always, the performance is great and it runs really smooth. It's a beta version, so I hope more changes in the future.
P.D. In order to get safetynet passing, I used HideProps Config magisk module. There is no big issues with it, and everything is fixable
P.d.2. This rom has antiroll-back active, so if you want to go back to previous version, you will have to use the unbrick tool

Thanks for the update.
I have been planning to upgrade my Red Magic 3 to Android 10 (CN rom) for quite a while now. And its good to know A11 beta has arrived too.
Have you tried fps games on this device like pubg mobile, cod etc? Do they work properly ?
Also, I haven't even unlocked bootloader on my device. Can you proivde a better guide, to completely switch from global rom (stock) to A11 (beta) or A10 CN rom (stable).
Need links / guide for following items -
- Unlock bootloader
- Link of working twrp and steps to flash (should I change recovery after installing this beta?)
- Gapps and Magisk link (As I can't run this device without Google services).
It will be a huge help for me to get started.
Take your time with it (no rush).
Thanks in advance!!!

Hey!
No problem at all. I let you here two guides to migrate to the cn rom and even a gsi
Be careful and aware about what you are going to do, It's not specially difficult but you have to get ready all the files and tools in case of brick or bootloops.
Enjoy the flashing!

Thanks for the links. I am planning to update to stable A10 version for now.
I have few questions it be a huge help you could clear some of my doubts -
1. After unlocking bootloader I have to install TWRP (for gapps to run). So should I install TWRP after flashing CN rom ? or before ?
I am asking this because I read in some guides that only CN rom is custom recovery capable.
2. If you have run A10 stables before, does OTA updates require to be installed via TWRP only ?
Will I loose Gapps and Root access if I updated the ota directly from settings? And will every rom flash with TWRP clear my installed apps ?
Thanks in advance for helping!!. ??

Well, I will go in order:
1. You have to flash first in the stock recovery the Android 10 CN rom and then flash the custom recovery. There is no twrp avaible for global rom. Once in the custom recovery, you can flash Gapps and Magisk (in android 10 there is no need of DFE file, the recovery is able to decrypt data properly.
2. You don't need to get worried about OTAs, there is no a constant software update work by nubia for this device, but in case of update, you would flash the rom from the offcial page, with magisk and gapps again and be sure you keep the custom recovery.

Let's see. Here is a link for Red Magic 3S unbrick tool. Download the non-eu ones.
If you have a Red Magic 3 with Red Magic 3s software, I will provide you the link to the other unbrick tool.
Also, you can try flashing the global rom from the stock recovery included in the package of the A11 rom that you have download.

So then, It's not a problem of the unbrick tool, that is actually working properly. The thing is that you didn't know how to do a correct process to migrate from cm rom to global...
The first thing you should do is reboot the phone into fastboot mode (power+vol. Down). Then, connect the phone to the PC and type the next commands in the cmd:
Code:
fastboot devices
in order to see if your device is being recognized
Code:
fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX629J
to unlock the bootloader
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
in order to make your phone able to boot with a modified software. In the moment you will enter this command, you will see a screen advising you about your data (it'll be erased once you accept to unlock flashing).
After that, you can reboot your phone, that will show you an screen advising you that the bootloader is open. Accept and continue without problems.
Tell me if you have been able to make your phone boot.

Well, I will go in order:
1. You have to flash first in the stock recovery the Android 10 CN rom and then flash the custom recovery. There is no twrp avaible for global rom. Once in the custom recovery, you can flash Gapps and Magisk (in android 10 there is no need of DFE file, the recovery is able to decrypt data properly.
2. You don't need to get worried about OTAs, there is no a constant software update work by nubia for this device, but in case of update, you would flash the rom from the offcial page, with magisk and gapps again and be sure you keep the custom recovery.

Required in CN A10 + twrp A10, or maybe from CN A9 + twrp A9 to be able to flash
