For people with bricked devices due to ARB and unable to flash with the anti note 5 bypass fastboot rom (authentication failed).
You can try to use QFIL (QPST) as someone has successfully fixed it using QFIL.

I wont recommend using this to flash on your fake ubl device. I would if it was bricked but it's not. You could still apply for the official one. It's more safe.

So it possibly wouldn't work with my fully functional arb4 device with fake ubl then? Unfortunately I don't have authorized account to remove fake ubl. Lol really despise xiaomi for their arb d**k move.

Thanks @devcon69 I unbricked redmi note 5 pro with MIFLASH method. I didn't required Testpoint/Force EDL it was already on it when ever i connected it to pc. I also recovered data by selecting save user data option. I was on 10.0.1.0 global stable with arb3 and played with .edl files from developers rom so bricked and now on arb4.
I tried to search regarding this issue but couldn't find a solution so I am posting this issue in hopes that someone can guide me to a solution.
I wanted to install pixel experience on my Redmi Note 7 Pro. My phone was successfully unlocked by myself and no issues were faced. First I tried to install Peter's TWRP but then can't go the recovery instead every time I was booted to fastboot menu. I then tried to just restart by holding the power button to boot straight to OS but instead I was again back to the fastboot menu.
I then downloaded the latest global ROM "violet_in_global_images_V11.0.5.0.PFHINXM_20191022.0000.00_9.0_in_9bff00d97f" for flashing using xiaomi flash tool and faced many errors but resolving one by one and then finally ROM was flashed but it only took 1 sec to complete and nothing happened on the phone. Then I searched around a bit more and tried to use CMD to flash "flash_all.bat" directly and got the error "Current Device Anti Rollback is greater than this Pkg". What I don't understand is that if I am using the latest global firmware then how the current device has a higher arb no. ?
I hope that I am able to explain the situation for other's to understand.
Any help will be appreciated.

Try the command "fastboot oem edl" in cmd of adb folder when device is in fastboot mode. Ur phone should go black but dont panic. Now open miflash tool and u see ur device is connected in edl mode as COMX ( X may be anything 10 or 20 like that). Now try to flash the lattest fastboot rom for over device. Remember to check the option in mi flash tool to not lock bl again. But this will wipe all your data.

Thank you for taking time to reply to my query. I did what you suggested and got into EDL mode. Xiaomi Mi Flash picked up the device as COM10 but when I tried to flash it shows "sahara read end error with status:40" and nothing happens.
Any further idea?

I suggest you use the older variant of the MiFlash tool.
How did you flash Peter's? Did you use "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"? That's the only right command.
Also are you sure you have the Indian variant of the phone? Another way to bypass anti roll back would be to clear all partitions, and then flash the required ROM.
Sorry if I'm not able to help you, I'll try having a look later on.
Thank you for your support. I had to go to the service center as no solution could be found.
Wait i know what happen... Ur phone has twrp and rom successfully installed don't worry about that. Just problem is ur phone has again locked the bootloader thats why its not able to boot os because it has twrp not the official recovery. U can verify that u have bootloader locked.. when ur phone starts when there is mi logo there will not be "unlocked" written in bottom.. see... That is very easy. Just try to unlock bootloader again with mi unlock tool.
And ur good to go. I got same errors on my friends redmi 6 pro. Service center will tell u to change motherboard as it cant be fixed with edl mode. JUST TRY TO UNLOCK AGAIN WITH MI UNLOCK TOOL.

Thank you for your feedback but the phone bootloader remained unlocked as when the phone starts there is "unlocked" written in bottom.
I got the phone back from Service Center. It's working fine but strangely still the bootloader is shown as unlocked in the start animation.

Have you converted yours successfully? I recently did mine after trial and error, but it is now running 1.8.
Here are the steps I used.
1) I rebooted to TWRP and wiped everything and refortmatted data.
2) I then rebooted the phone to EDL from within TWRP.
3) I then started the MiFlash tool by Xiaomi, which I had downloaded to my PC.
4) I made sure the CLEAN button was selected in the lower right side.
5) I then made sure my phone was detected by selecting REFRESH.
6) I then chose the path to the 1.6 EDL file from Dimitri and selected flash.
7) After the flash was successful the phone rebooted. It took a long time for the initial bootup.
8) Once setup was complete, I rebooted to EDL and used the EDL_tool to unlock the bootloader.
9) Once unlocked, I rebooted to fastboot and booted TWRP. I then flashed Magisk.
If you want, there is a link to 1.8 that was posted by Dimitri, which you can then place on your SD card and upgrade from there. If you do upgrade to 1.8, you will need to do steps 8 and 9 again.

Sure,
You need EDL Chinese Tool, 1.6 EDL EU firmware and miflash
1. Using EDL Tool make a full EDL Backup
2. Flash EDL firmware, after that you phone will be bricked
3. Using EDT Tool unlock bootloader after this there will be a menu, select power off
4. Put the phone in EDL mode and using miflash flash the backup you made earlier
5. After restart select wipe
6. You're done
I think miflash restores just some of the files, because it takes just five minutes to do the flash
Everything is working, even updates, mine is now in 1.8 after OTA update
If you now wanna unlock the bootloader use EDT Tool no chinese.
I am looking for an "all backup of an Axon 10 4G "
China Model.
Of course without your EFS data.
I want to make a China device out of my EU device
Hi everyone,
I want to revive my oldie Mi 5S Plus, and I want to "start from the begining", putting it into stock and then, move to another new ROM if it doesn't fit the requirements of the new user (my son).
I have PixelExperience installed from a long time ago, so I'm not sure if it is even possible to install back an stock Xiaomi ROM in the smartphone. Can you bring some lights up about this?
Thanks in advance!!!
Hi dude, yes you can, if you want clean work used PC..?
1. Download the fastboot rom for Mi 5s plus to your PC and extract it with WinRAR.
2. Get the device to fastboot mood
3. Connect your device to your PC
4. Flash the fastboot rom with xiaomi flash tool from your PC selecting clen_all option. Don't select clean_all and lock.
5. Done.
Hi guys.. i fallowed this steps to flash the rom stock ( I'm using lineage os now) and i get message error when I'm flashing it... Something error about my computer... I use a pc with Windows... What can be? Thanks!
You have to unlock the bootloader with mi unlock software from your PC. Then follow the guide.
