hmmm..... feel like Mi a1 smooth then Miui 9.....

I love live Carousell wallpaper

so, those with custom rom, how do u guys flash it back to china rom?

1. try apply for bootloader unlock - with the "unauthorised" rom, i am not sure if binding of your xiaomi account will be successful or not. but do try and let us know if it works. if you can bind the account and approval is given then all that is left is plug into mi unlock tool, and then they force you to wait 360hours, and unlock again after the countdown finishes. after successfully unlock bootloader, copy paste china rom into root folder, boot into recovery and flash from there.

or

2. use the testpoint method - the same way they forcefuly flash the "unauthorised" rom without unlocking bootloader, but this time you are flashing an authorised china rom. nobody has done this yet from what i read in miui forum, so again, do try and let us know if it works.

******edit******

when you say custom rom i had earlier assumed you were talking about those who had the "unauthorised" global rom bought from online sales site like aliexpress/ebay .

Now let's assume that you have a unit with the mi A1 ported rom (or any custom rom like lineageOS if it exists) and you want to revert back to china rom, chances are if you already have a custom rom in your phone that means the bootloader is already unlocked (for you to flash a custom in the first place), so what you need to do is just copy paste china rom into root folder, boot into recovery and flash from there. maybe you already replaced the stock recovery with TWRP even.

alternatively again, test-point method.

Lol boleh lah. After reading thru the guides and actually doing it myself, the unlocking process up till now is pretty easy. So kasi unlock dulu no harm. Flash or no flash belakang cerita.

Lol seem like very challenging for us..
Mine still awaiting in time for unlocking as well.

once u flash official rom.....will automatic relog your bootloader & yea u need to do bootloader unlock again..... no need to wait 15 days liao.....for me opinion better relock your bootloader once you flashed the firmware..... otherwise your handphone hilang they can flash directly without unlock bootloader d

hmmmm....I think they trying to KO 3rd party seller .... for global market maybe they will release new rom for global market which sell by mi not under 3rd party seller..... I check on en miui forum ....they suggest to return the unit to the seller.... in future you duno mi will foced unofficial rom unable to bootup the device ....

Seems like it. My links do have the recovery rom for those but I can't find any fastboot rom for them.

the download link is active, but you'll run into trouble if you flash that rom. something about requiring beta/developer account.

anyway let's just wait lor.

https://goo.gl/S1SKdf just check out price drop to 619 already...

lol but lei jun claims the quality is up?

hmm I think a long journey for mi to improved their quality , even Mi home product quality is far better compared to mi phone. Oppo/Vivo/Oneplus assembly quality good too...

Nope lah, that day you saw mine is scratch on my new bought screen protector only.

I bought 2 pieces black color one.
