How to flash Xiaomi.eu firmware on Xiaomi Mi Note 10 - step-by-step guide
So this guide was written by DeathByArmadillo who partly copied it from user "Danmue" from an old post. Anyway, it works. Tested on Mi Note 10 with Global rom. Just re-posted it in it's own thread because the information was a bit scattered...
forum.xda-developers.com
And I have a few concerns
I asked in the main thread however the thread looks to be dead
If anyone knows a guide on how to do that and if it's a good idea to do so
I want to do that because the Global Rom lacks a lot of the features in the CN/EU Rom
Here are the questions:
1- Does this guide work on the new MIUI 12.5?
2- I'm on 12.5.3 Global and The latest EU is 12.5.1 , is that considered a downgrade that will brick my device? Because I heard people are not having luck with downgrades
3- What is the ROM used? Is it a stock EU that I can download from any xiaomi firmware source? Or is it a custom thing
I mean can I just go to xiaomifirmwareupdater and download the EEA version (It's same as the EU ROM right?)
4-I saw people complaining about non responsive touch, does that happen only in recovery? Or is it in the System?
5- Is it better if I only fastboot the EU rom and then flash the custom Recovery? And if not, what version of the firmware should I download, there's a recovery version and a fastboot version (larger than the recovery one)
6- Let's say I got a stable recovery up and running, if a new version is released, can I just download the recovery zip of the rom and dirty flash it to update? Or do I download the OTA update zip and dirty flash it, how do I update in the future without losing my data
7- There is a lot of new recoveries for tucana/Mi Note 10 here on xda, OrangeFox and TWRP included, can we use the new recoveries instead the ones linked in the main post?
Thanks a lot!

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 !
For me when i type fastboot devices it shows my device number but when i type this command fastboot getvar anti it shows nothing please help and im using Redmi note 5 vince version and miui version is 9.6.2.0 global stable.

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
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 ?
And will i stay on "Anti 3" or will i be on Anti 4 like it would if i update normally ?

10.0.4.0 bootloops for me
Coming from Pixel 3 Experience GSI ROM by EnesSastim. I can fastboot flash the official MIUI 10 Global which works but every time I flash this ROM via TWRP I just get bootloop.
Full wipe doesn't seem to help so I guess I'm sticking on the official Global ROM for now. Any ideas?

Not sure if you ever figured it out but the instructions on EU's site are terrible and not very descriptive.
When they mean when they say "Wipe /Data" is to hit Wipe > Format Data > Type Yes (and swipe to confirm I believe) You will then have to copy over the zip to your phone and flash (That's why the instructions are written that way)
Keep in mind, that this will wipe your internal storage so make a back up. It also takes a long time to boot, longer than clean miui install.
is it possible to flash from one MIUI 10 rom to another? mine is on stock chinese 10 rom now, and can't see any files on the root folder of the phone under recovery. may need to use the rom's flash function.
Hello friends, I hope and can help me, it turns out I have the ROM installed but not let me have permissive the seLinux with the kernel stock, just let me if I put a modified kernel, the problem is that for me none of all the modified kernel gives me the autonomy that gives me and L kernel stock, I want to have the permissive ROM of seLinux with the kernel stock, someone knows how? Thank You for your help

Might sound like a silly question, but when the phone was first launched and people applied xiaomi.eu roms, some reported that installing magisk would brick their phones for whatever reason. Is this still the case? I just want to pass my safetynet

Hello, I've gone through the forum threads for a short while and I've figured out that most of the posts here are about the NFC version of the Poco X3. The links to download Stock ROM all link to the NFC version. Some posts link MI Flash tool from one website, while others link the tool from another.
I have the Indian version of Poco X3 which has no NFC and I needed some help. My goal is to flash a pure clean stock ROM as if it came out the factory. Reason being some bugs persist through factory resets and I don't like the clutter of OTA, I've always been a clean install kinda person.
1: Proper link to Mi Flash Tool
2: 12.0.10 Link for Stock ROM India (Fastboot).
3: My phone is fully stock and has never been unlocked or rooted... Will fastboot of stock ROM work?
4: Drivers for fastboot.
5: Any other advice.
I may be wrong, but I think you'll find everything you need at the [INDEX]: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/4176491/.
It's too cluttered and focuses mostly on the NFC version. I did go through this post, which is EXACTLY why I stated I've read the forums and still am in need of help.
Can I use Mi Flash tool to reflash the stock fastboot ROM? My bootloader is locked. Or am I forced to use only recovery ROM
What option do I select on the bottom right? Clean and lock?
How to flash the file miui_VEUX_V13.0.1.0.SKCCNXM_077f616321_12.0.zip
I have downloaded the rom file in zip format. How can I install without any custom recovery. I can't find twrp, orange fox recovery for this device. Then how to do it?
No offence but if you don't know this information then chances are you've also downloaded the incorrect ROM for your device on accident too. There are multiple guides here on XDA and even a couple in this subforum for flashing using fastboot - check those out but PLEASE make sure you use the correct ROM because MIUI is not very forgiving if you flash an incorrect one and unfortunately we can't recover from a hard brick.

You have rom for recovery and for fastboot.
If you dont have lineage recovery where you can use "adb sideload" ,then
you need fastboot version -you can flash it via fastbootd
recovery rom - flashable via custom lineage recovery "adb sideload"
fastboot rom - flashable via fastbootd
and last option is for pro - you can extract payload.bin from recovery version (via python) and
then you can flash every partition (like boot,recovery, vb_meta, super/system etc...) in fastbootd

If you're talking about Xiaomi eu rom (I assume because of the file name), they use veuxg as the codename for redmi note 11 pro+ 5g (India/Global) / Poco X4 pro 5g (India/Global). the veux codename will only work on the redmi note 11e china. For the roms for these devices, we'll have to wait for a release compatible with our devices. (This nomenclature is only used by Xiaomi eu, as far as I know, veux roms should work on all three devices for other roms).
If you wish to know how to flash these roms, refer to this thread

Yes, and it is incompatible with Indian device
As of right now, Chinese and Global devices are being treated differently by Xiaomi, Chinese devices have Android 12 firmware with the sdn chipset, however the Indian and global siblings do not. They are different firmwares for Chinese and Global right now, and due to the nature of these releases, they are not cross compatible, I tried flashing Chinese Android 12 firmware for veux onto my Indian RN11Pro+ 5g, and got my device bricked. Flashing different region firmware is not recommended at the moment.
