You have to unlock the bootloader first to use this guide.
Thank you so much, this way is very fruitful for me. Again Thanks
Thank you very much bro.
You just saved my life. Thx a lot.
Good very helpful
Hi Bro, it’s a good procedure but I like some others also have a lock bootloader. I could not apply to Xiaomi for permission to unlock because my MI MAX 2 is in bootloop and I did not have the device bound to any mi acc, usb debugging not set, not on dev mode etc My MM2 was only 2 hrs old in my hands when I did updater app to upgrade to MIUI 9. It froze and bootlooped ever since. And it is an export model so I could not get any support from Xiaomi svc center. If there is a way to unlock the BL without having to go thru’ Xiaomi’s permission, pls share with us. Thks
“This guide will work on all Xiaomi phone whether its bootloader is locked or unlocked.”
Man, correct your article. This is wrong. This guide is USELESS for locked bootloaders.
awsome post dude
Thanks for sharing this method. My Redmi 5 completely revert back from MIUI 10 beta to MIUI 9.
