Is it safe to downgrade to Android 10?

Hi,
i recently upgraded the device to the newest version of MIUI and Android 11. The new Android version seems to have some bugs in performance such as the fact that when playing games the device gets heated rapidly.
I would like to downgrade the firmware by flushing an official ROM.
But is that safe? Anyone had the same experience?
Also i am a bit of newbie so please also give some advice on what i have to do. What i have in mind is flashing a previous build like this one:
HMK305G_V11.1.25.0.QGICNXM_v11-10
or this one:
HMK305G_V12.1.5.0.RGICNXM_v12-11
Custom Roms come also with the new Android version?

No particular problem to downgrade. The bootloader must be unlocked and use miflash (more safe) or twrp to flash the rom.
The roms you indicate are not for the Poco f2 pro and are not original roms.
Do you want to downgrade to android 10 with an original rom or install a xiaomi EU rom?

Thanks for your reply,
I have the Global version installed but i quess EU version will do just fine also. About the files.. hmm i didn't see "poco f2" on the list so i thought it would be the K30 files. Can you indicate to me, the correct rom files to use? I searched xiaomi sites but i found only the latest ver.. i found this repo somewhere in a post here.

Oh i see i selected the 5G as my phone supports 5G and i thought it was a different version. Thanks for the info!
One last thing: You think i should go with the Global or EU version (i live in EU but stock rom was Global), or there is no difference to me?

I think you are confusing: the original(stock) Rom and the EU customs Rom .
The links above are customs rom.
Here you will find the original(stock) Xiaomi EEA or GLOBAL(better) roms .

EU roms(custom rom) are better than stock.

thank you very much, i will try it!

Hello, I cant find stock rom for MIUI 12 android 10, can you help? I currently am stuck if fastboot and I think flashing stock rom might help

I can recommend Xiaomi.EU custom rom. Was in a similar situation (not happy with stock miui 12.5 poco version). Unlocked bootloader and installed xiaomi.eu. It's much better. No issues so far.

Question Bootloader Unlock

So I basically tried to unlock the bootloader to my Redmi Note 11 Pro + 5g and all I got was, "Mi Unlock is not supported by this device" . What the hell does that even mean??? Someone help

The only explanation i see is that the this version of the Redmi note 11 doesnt support mi unlock for the moment because its too recent

Oooh, shame then, I would have hopped Xiaomi adds support for their devices before actually releasing them

Yea would be good. I guess it sould be released soon

Update: i manage to solved the issue by flashing a EEA ROM instead of a global ROM (i flashed Global ROM before because i didnt know EEA mean Europe)

Maybe because updates dont release everywhere at the same time, its determined by the ROM

Question MI 13 chinese rom to global rom

It is possible to buy a chinese version of mi 13 and after that install on the device a global miui rom?

For the moment, no, since the global version has not yet been released.
Afterwards you can but without being able to lock the bootloader, which means that the play store will not be certified and you will have to root the phone and use magisk or a Xiaomi Eu rom.

MIUI 14 EU best variant

Any chance can CN version to be converted Global without bootloader unlock? Or that's impossible at all?
I want that skyblue color that only available in CN market and want use google pay and banking apps as well, and that's need bootloader locked if I am not wrong.

Yes. The both the 17 and 21 version. It happens after 2 to 3 days. Only one EU rom. No problem with CN rom.

On some version of rom sometimes the phone restarts on its own, but this is not your case?
it's since 14.0.21?
Can be tried a Weekly by updating (to return after a stable, clean flash required).
Is the phone rooted?

Try the Taiwan global rom with miui message, dialer apps.

I tried weekly but stopped using it because my Xiaomi 13 gets hot very easily even with light browsing but it does not happen on any of the stable Rom including EU.

It's really surprising because one of the Xiaomi Eu rom devs has a Xiaomi 13, maybe try the last Weekly or there is a HW problem that happened between two roms.

Question Xiaomi 13 Lite / Civi 2: camera subsystem swap, is it possible?

Hello to everyone! First of all, I apologize as I know this isn't the right sub-forum for the products I'm talking about but I've had no choice because one for the 13 lite or the Civi 2 doesn't exist.
I own a Xiaomi 13 lite and Xiaomi.eu is going to make a new release for it any soon so no issues for me but I was talking with a main developer along with other owners here.
I was confident the 13 lite and the Civi 2 were EXACTLY the same thing, just for different markets but this turned out not to be the case. Indeed, they are almost the same but not completely being the cameras different.
Apart from being very helpful and giving me a much better insight on how things really are, the main developer has clearly stated that Xiaomi.eu isn't goiing to deal with the Civi 2 (and I completely understand the reasons for such a statement) but I've been intrigued at the idea of a Civi 2 owner (not my case then but, for example, the one of Barb0ne there and I believe not only him) being able to take the 13 Lite Xiaomi.eu and just 'swap' the camera subsystem.
I can think about at least a couple of big reasons leading to Xiaomi.eu not doing that even if it was so plain simple (like I think it actually isn't) but what if a Civi 2 owner tries it by himself?
I know the camera subystem should be embedded inside the kernel so it is quite hard to deal with it (I can only think about rebuilding it from scratch), even on rooted phones. Maybe using modules but I don't know... I haven't the knowledge needed to have a better insight.
For example, I think that taking a Civi 2 official Xiaomi CN rom and getting the kernel from there then swap it with the Xiaomi.eu 13 Lite one is a complete nonsense and could only lead to bootloops or worse. Has anything like that ever been done? I'm very curious about that and that's clear the question is mainly for developers. Thanks for your opinions (if any) and a nice day to everyone out there.

Weird since there are common global versions.

Which would mean that there is a Xiaomi civi 2 in global version since we cannot lock the bootloader on a CN version with a Global rom.

@NOSS8
Thanks for your follow-up. I don't know what to say: you're absolutely right that there on XiaomiFirmware it seems let's say 'unified' roms are available but this goes in contrast with what that main developer was saying on the thread I've linked above and this is rather strange.
I tend to give more and more credit to advices coming from him rather than a (very well done and useful but still automatically generated) site. As already explained, I own a 13 lite so I can't check by myself. Maybe Barb0ne would like to. Thanks and have a nice day!

The site is maintained by
yshalsager​who is a Recognized Developer Oct 13, 2014 on XDA.
the roms are recovered from the official Xiaomi servers, you can check the MD5 which will be identical.
It may be an error from Xiaomi, it wouldn't be the first time.

Saying anything wrong against XiaomiFirmware wasn't my intention, not at all and I'd like to underline once more as I've already tried to in my previous message. I'm starting to think that Xiaomi could well manufacture two lines for the Civi 2: the global which is just a rebadged 13 Lite and the CN which has the different cameras. It could be an explanation (but a mess apart from a nonsense from Xiaomi; not the first time anyway, at least if I remember well).

See here, sold with the global rom with the unlocked bootloader.

Edit:
It's exactly the same problem as with the Xiaomi 12T Pro and Redmi K50 Ultra, same phone but completely different camera (not the case with the 13 lite and civi 2) and yet Xiaomi Eu exists for these phones.

I tried all the roms in both global and EEU versions the problem is always the same the camera app crashes, it is partially solved by installing a third-party camera app (it works partially, the main camera works but when you activate the secondary for selfies not working properly)

In fact, from the site it may seem that there is a common rom, it would be necessary to have and test it, to see the effective functioning.

Weird camera problems with common versions, maybe wait for a next update.

Not a complaint, we've put here relevant informations anyway but my original question (and the meaning for such a thread being opened here on a developer's forum) has been slightly sidelined... That's a pity, at least for me. I'd prefer to receive at least something like a reply saying "Forget it, it is impossible to do!" (like probably it is the case) rather than nothing at all.

Also tried the latest official global ROM 14.0.4.0 (some sites specified that it was compatible with the Chinese CIVI 2 version) but in fact it is not compatible. I deduce that for european owners of CIVI 2 China, the only possibility is a developer who works on the Chinese rom possibly adding European languages, which I don't know the level of difficulty.

Question If I buy the CN Version and Flash the Global rom when it comes out, will I receive OTA Updates?

(In Title), I'm planning on buying the Xiaomi 13 Ultra from China to save £300 and get it 2-3 months earlier, will this plan work?
Get the Xiaomi 13 Ultra
Unlock Bootloader
Flash Global Rom with Xiaomi Flash tool(on release)
Receive OTA & use it like I bought it in the EU?
Thanks for any advice this might be a bad plan, I got my Mi Mix 2s and Mi Note Pro from Hong Kong but that came with the Global Version & I got burned with my Mi 10 Ultra as a Global Version never came out

If you install a Global rom, you will not be able to lock the bootloader and will have to root the device to have the playstore certified and perform the updates manually.
