Global 11.0.4 Rollback to 'any battery-friendly version' - Xiaomi Redmi 6 Questions & Answers

Any advice on which MIUI to go back to and which is the best way to do a rollback? Since a few months I went to Redmi 6 MIUI 11.0.4 Global via Fastboot, but getting sick of the battery drainage (loose >50% overnight, even in airplane mode). Already debloated as much as I could, no effect. On a previous MIUI I would never loose more than 5-10% overnight. During the day it's even worse.
I think MIUI 10 was better, forgot how 9 was.
Also, I can't find THE best way to do a rollback on Redmi 6. There are many how-to's and youtube videos (none in English) but they are all different. Any advice or experience here?
Thanks a lot in advance!

The best way to do a rollback is to unlock the bootloader and then flashing a previous version of MIUI through MiFlash Tool.

Switch from OB6 to 10.0.2

I'm really suffering with battery life on Open Beta 6 so I want to switch to 10.0.2, but the question is how?
I've found downgrade packages to Android 9, but I haven't found a similar package for 10.0.2
As you've likely found. Can't be done directly (yet). Back to Pie, then up to stock 10
Yes, that's what I ended up doing, back to pie then upgrade to Q

Nord (India) stuck in crashdump

Gentlemens, I ask for your help because it's 30 hours that i'm fighting for this
Last morning I woke up and I looked at my Nord, and I saw it sluggishly slow, a bit like it has been in recent times and I was really tired of it, so I decided to clean the Nord by restoring everything in the most pristine way possible to try to make it more like it's Out-Of-The-Box, so i chose to downgrade with msm and luckily i had the wit to back up the persist.img
Making a summary, after I reset everything I reviewed how many bloatware there were in the Nord Indian version (I have that) and I wondered if you could put the global or eu rom on top of the ac2001
Reading on xda, reddit and oneplus I saw that many have done it and everything is semi all right, at most the 5g, the footprint or similar gave them a bit of problems, then I said to myself FINALLY I can get out of this Indian hell as an european (I have not a damn way to use amazon on the nord, because it does not accept that I am in Italy, so it refuses to connect, I breathed fire to make it work by removing the bloatware version, fighting with the router, adb, and the list goes on) and then I immediately threw myself into it
The global / eu version worked, but they crashdumped as soon as I updated them
I thought "Oh well" and I go back to edl and try to put the Indian back
Everything is fine with oos10, but as soon as I ******* go back to updating to oos11 it crashdumps, and i and go back to msm with edl to flash
I feel idiotic, oh well
fact that says something with sensor_process rc
device_restart_work_hdlr
and various other little things
Anyone have any idea how I could upgrade to oos11, global/eu (maybe god) or india?
Thank you in advance and forgive me for the papyrus: /
PS: relatively relevant detail, at more or less the second hour and a half at 12 o'clock in hell the pc while flashing went to bsod for unreleated issues (how lucky am i) and there it gave the first crashdump, but as soon as I reflashed in edl it it booted and then the continuous is over
I've flashed various combinations various versions and several times with edm today, so I don't really know what I can do anymore
crashdump is
err_qdi.c:1045:EF:sensor process:0x1:SNS_REG_INIT:0x9e:sns_registry
_sensor.c:94:SNS_RC_SUCCESS == rc

Hello, I was wondering, do you have the solution to the problem ?

Question Is there a guide on how to downgrade to android 11 and one ui 3.1 after Android 12 and one ui 4 garbage?

Looking to revert back to android 11 and need to know what to do to not brick my phone.
Currently have an unlocked galaxy s21 plus, Odin is installed and so is a 4 file firmware package for Android 11..
I have USB debugging checked and most things backed up before I perform a factory reset..
Is there anything else that I'm missing, am I completely wrong? Sorry, it's been a long time since I've done anything like this
As long as it wasn't a OTA upgrade that also updated the bootloader version you should be able to roll back.
Make sure all critical data is redundantly backed up. Verify it's all there and readable.
So did you succeed in this?
Edit: It's downgradeable ez pz. Just download the latest Android 11 and flash via Odin. I have the Exynos version.

Probably. On the N10+'s snaps apparently it's not so you can roll back from 12 to 11 but no further. I'm still running Pie and 10 on my N10+'s and will not upgrade either.

11 is the best iteration out of all mentioned, so I recommend you upgrade to that at least. 12 was a beta testing software, but 13 is again a step in the right direction and OneUI 5 is really becoming a powerhouse. Now if only they got rid of the bloatware, but that's also easier than ever to manage nowadays.

You'll have more luck finding answers in the S21 Ultra section. Can't remember the exact bootloader versions, but if it's one of the later ones, you won't be able to revert. Android 12 is a piece of trash.

I doubt that as cpu cycle sucking scoped storage is fully active on 11 and above. On Android 9 and 10* it isn't. Not willing to risk screwing up 2 fast, stable, clean running machines that are fulfilling their mission by changing the firmware. To hell with global elitist Google's disinformation and hype Gookill... I see you
Not vaxing my N10+'s either☠
Bloatware is easy to stop from at boot up on stock Samsung's with Package Disabler (not on Playstore). Fastest and easiest solution.
*haven't used my N10+ Android 10 much so I need to do a comparison with my other one loaded with Pie. Will a 2 5+ yo Pie load beat out a freshly loaded and configured Q load? Q seems to get slightly worse SOT, so far, but I need to play with it more as it may not be fully dialed in yet.
My oldest N10+/N975U/Pie runs like a bat out of hell. It's current load is 2.5+yo. It is my most stable platform of any OS in the last 18 years.

Question Can I go back to stock rom?

Right now I'm on A.07 Global and there is this weird idle drain even after debloating. People that updated to A.09 still have this issue. I'm wondering if there is a way to go back to stock rom for GT Neo 2 which is A.03.
I remember using it for a few month and idle drain issue isn't there at all and the best part I didn't even debloat it. I have downloaded the file from realmefirmware but it seems that for this phone in particular, the phone cannot detect ofp files when in recovery mode.
So I'm wondering if there is another way to do this.

Question Can I root my Poco X3 Pro with the default MIUI rom?

First of all. I have a Poco X3 Pro with 8GB RAM and 256GB Storage. MIUI is v12.5.2.0 (RJUEUXM). Model says M2102J20SG. I Have bought my phone 8 months ago and yesterday I decided to unlock it, mistakenly thinking that would let me disable the Xiaomi apps I do not like.
TL; DR:
1) Can I root my phone with stock rom?
2) Can I disable Xiaomi apps on stock rom if I root it?
3) Any suggestions for me with priority on stability over performance?
I have not been involved in rooting a phone in many years. The last android phone I had and rooted was a ZTE Blade and I mean the first Blade, which was like over a decade ago. After that I did a mistake to go on iPhone and then on an LG G6, that never made me feel like I needed to root it honestly.
The main reason I want to root my phone is to debloat it safely, removing/freezing/disabling quite a lot of Xiaomi's extra software, that I just do not want on my phone. MIUI seems quite enjoyable to me, although I have to admit, due to how I am worried that updating it will make my phone more sluggy and will affect battery life, I have yet to ever update it, still being on version 12.5.2.0.
I honestly would not mind to use a custom rom, but my preference is always stability over performance, except if that would offer me extra battery life and the current MIUI's battery life is beyond excellent in my experience, but maybe because LG G6's battery life was never that good since the day I bought it. I am definitely open to suggestions, about the course of action you people think I should take.
You can use adb commands to disable apps, but speaking from experience, you can only disable so much before things start to break, and some of the most annoying things (to me) cannot be disabled without breaking something. Also, when you update the system, all disabled things will most likely re-enable and you have to do the whole process all over again.
If you like MIUI, uninstall apps that can be uninstalled normally and use it as it is, or (and I highly recommend it) install custom ROM. If you want stability, ArrowOS or Crdroid is what you should take a look at. ArrowOS comes with gapps, while Crdroid offers tons of customization and comes as Vanilla (you can flash gapps seperately, if you want).
You sure can root your phone with stock Miui. However, you need to unlock the bootloader, first. It implies loosing all your current data. After that is done, I see no point in running stock miui, I'd go for xiaomi.eu's stable or any of the AOSP roms currently available.
I'm currently running latest crDRoid, which I'm quite enjoying. It's based of LineageOS with added tweaks and is shipped without gapps - you must installed after flashing the ROM.
Make sure you understand the process:
1. Unlock bootloader - you must wait for the 7 days to do so.
2. Flash a recovery. I suggest looking for a beta of a recovery that supports Android 12 decryption, try Nebrassy's TWRP
3. Flash your preferred ROM
4. Root it with Magisk+useful modules: safetynetfix, gms doze, etc.
Enjoy.

No, adb commands is something I definitely do not want to do. I want the system to allow me to actually disable something, without any sort of "brute forcing", mostly cause like you mentioned, I am worried of breaking things. I do not per se dislike google apps, but honestly if I can have as less as possible, it would be better for me. I will look into both the custom roms you mentioned, thank you =)

I unlocked the bootloader just yesterday, so I am done with the first part. I will definitely be checking crDroid, since it seems I can't get rid of MIUI what annoys me the most, which is it's bloatware. I guess since you guys mention to try a custom rom, I should give it a try at least, since i went ahead and unlocked the bootloader anyway. Thank you for the suggestion!

If you uninstall them via ADB on the active user profile they will stay uninstalled even after an update. I did so with 12.5.5 and upgraded to 13.0.1 a while back and they stayed uninstalled.

You could also try XiaomiEU rom, which is basically what you want: debloated MIUI. But to have true control over the apps and features you want, rom like Crdroid is the way to go.
Oh I have seen Xiaomi EU mentioned a lot, but I kept thinking it was just the European stock roms. I just looked it up thanks to you and it indeed looks exactly like what I was asking for. I wanted to stay on MIUI cause I really worry that if it is not vanilla, it might cause problems and most importantly battery life ones.
I probably will be trying to go for crDroid, but for now I am worried I might make a mistake. I would hate it if I ended up bricking my phone, since I love Poco X3 Pro.

Don't worry, you won't brick your phone if you just follow instructions, even then, you would have to do some crazy **** to hard brick your phone, most likely you will just end up with bootloop, which is always fixable by just reflashing the rom.
Read carefully and everything will be fine. I am on ArrowOS since I got the phone, updating regularly, rooting, using magisk modules, zero problems so far. Most of the time, battery life is better since useless bloat won't drain it so much.
Purely for battery life reasons I would personally never suggest switching to a custom rom from MIUI, because with a few ADB commands you can get rid of most of the "useless" bloat. However, if you are concerned about your privacy and don't want to feed Xiaomi with your data, then Lineage would be a good choice as an alternative OS, since at least the official versions are heavily regulated.
The battery life of a debloated MIUI is fantastic, at least in my case.
Ok, this will probably be a bit of a dumb and final question before I jump into the whole custom rome in the next days when I have time. I have seen a lot of times people mentioning TWRP or in general recovery that should be android 12 compatible, rather than the normal v11 provided in the twrp site. crDroid even seems to offer it's own recovery for it's latest android 12.1 version. I am still on Android 11 (MIUI 12.5.2.0). Does that mean I need to first update my phone to the latest MIUI to upgrade my software to android 12, or the recovery is backwards compatible?
I would definitely update to latest stock rom, then flash recovery and install ROM.
Hi!! I'm on the same situation here, coming from a Poco 1 (which is being really hard to let go) to a Poco x3 Pro so this thread is being really useful to me cause I'm basically on the same dilemma, stock vs custom?
I always used custom but when I bought my Poco 1 there was an automated script that unbloated the phone so I did that and stayed with the stock with no issues at all in this 3 years of use.
Now, for the poco x3, the only way of doing the same is by going app by app and removing it through ADB which, as you mentioned, is not that good if you are not sure what to remove so that made me think of going to a custom rom. I mean, I just installed it and all that xiaomi junk is removed.
What I didn't know is that the EU version was debloated so that could be a good option for me but, here's my questionk besides de bloated apps, which is the diference between EU and Global roms? Are they target for the same version of the phone or I could have like NFC disable or radio issues? Cause I though there were different version of the stock roms cause the hardware was diferent between devices.

Just to point out, Xiaomi EU is in a way a custom rom. The Xiaomi.EU community taken the Chinese rom, that has less bloat and more features, translating it and sharing it to people. Just because it it called debloated, that does not mean it does not come with the same Xiaomi Apps. It is still MIUI and that means some Xiaomi apps will still be impossible to disable and also apps like the Xiaomi Security that will softbrick your phone if disabled, still is needed and will cause the same thing in the Xiaomi.EU rom.
It is the main reason I am thinking of trying crDroid, or else like you said, I would not mind just a debloated stock rom, since afar from all the needed Xiaomi apps, MIUI seems quite enjoyable to me. If you check their forums though, you will see even the Xiaomi.EU has it's own problems.

Ohhhh I see! I think I'll try crDroid too and Arrow, as long as it's debloated, the IR works as long with the radio and the nfc, I'm happy.
