Hi there, before I'm executing my device to downgrade rom version, do I need to flash lowest firmware version first?
If yes, then can you provide me firmware link ? I've been searching over miui forum or xda but still didn't find any clue, most of solution is flash new Miui rom from Fastboot, I know that will working but its shame to start from zero again.
I know in other device like Mi4c/Mi5 when you switch from 7.x/8.x roms to 5.1/6.0 version you must flash lollipop firmware to make everything like signal/wifi/backlight working.
Why I need to downgrade it? Because some of my daily usage app doesn't support Oreo API so its very unstable.

Maybe yes I flashed my redmi to miui 9, by using my recovery, then the WiFi doesn't work.

This is the firmware file in ROM miui9 8.1.15.(may not work) mega.nz/#!PehDUIqD!o_22t5655D1XUOVQS1ZVafvwq63FmIyUs2qGxLLcWc0
Starting from zero is the best thing to do while switching Android version.

Just flash global Dev. ROM from miui site, then once you in lolipop firmware, install twrp & flash the nougat rom ( no need fastboot, it's more difficult )

I don't think redmi 2 prime variant will work on this device as this device has only 1 gb ram where as prime has 2gb ram
Correct me if I am wrong..
Im using the same device 2014818 1gb variant.
It is wt88047.
U can use custom roms on KitKat firmware without any problems.(no volte)
Dont flash miui Lp coz soon when u switch to kitkat again from lp miui u will face sim card switch issue due to changed baseband. And miui lp will be slow on 1gb ram variant. But in kitkat firmware , linagge os and other 6.0.1, 7.1.2 ROMs will work.

1.For MM Stable Nx Rom by Anderson is stable and Tesla Os MM Stable.
2.Bootloader ( Firmware) There Are 2 Firmwares Available One is of Kikat and lollipop (Lp Firmware for volte ) they both are 50 mb. They can be flashed in twrp.
If ur using 2gb prime phone then flash lp firmware. Get it from xda threads.
Then flash a custom rom or miui lp and get volte function.
3. Manually set to 4g network from dialing *#*#4636#*#*
Enter into phone information and select lte , it won't go back to 3g or 2g then.
If u want the firmware links PM me.
4. Once u flash lp firmware u won't be able to work on miui kitkat. So when u flash miui lollipop the phone performance will be so slow due to 1gb ram..it isnt enough for background apps to run. So if u want to revert and go back to miui KitKat just make a backup of miui kitkat (System, boot , firmware ,Efs <- (efs is important coz it contains imei number which gets sim working) before flashing lp firmware. So u can restore easily from twrp.

Yes all custom roms doesn't provide gapps...install arm pico gapps
Mokee rom i tried few months later, it had battery draining issue.
Root access is already available in developer options no need of supersu.
Im having the same device as u have. Don't flash custom kernels it has overclocked cpus nd gpu and doesn't provide good multitasking.

Idk might be previous version from new build...try it out its a nice rom.
I have this phone (X820) about 6 months, the FP was dead 1-2 weeks after I got it, tried to set up on other rom but didn't work. I been flashed various rom on it, last rom I was running for long time was Tora33 stock Eui 5.9.023S rom.
I decided to flash latest stock rom 5.9.26S (LE_X2_X820-CN-FN-FEXCNFN5902604241S-5.9.026S.zip size 1.5Gb), and the next day I was on this rom tried to set up the screen lock and tried FP, and it came back from the dead somehow. I setup 3 fingerprint it all works fine, speed is not the fastest but hey it's working.
Sort of same worked for me also. Was sure that IT was a software prob and not a hardware one some people where sure it was. But it definitly is not a hardware problem
Mine works perfectly fast and five vinger option.
Heyyo, for custom non EUI ROMs you must update the modem firmware is all you need to do.
Most people recommend 466D or Chinese 26s modem firmware.
I know it sounds odd but yes the modem firmware does affect the fingerprint reader when the device is asleep.
I use Chinese 26s 05.09 from here
https://yadi.sk/d/woKdrlRrv8yhr/Китай
Download a zip and flash it via TWRP. Don't need to reflash the custom ROM just wipe dalvik and cache.
Hi ThE_MarD, between Canadian I own the Le Max 2, change the sellers rom to have the system updates to stock 5.8.16S than install the update 5.8.19S and notice that the fingerprint unlock is slower, can you flash one of these as an update on stock or really need TWRP and it's for custom rom only (not installed on mine). Can the 26S be installed or flash on the 19S? merci.

yes
download stock 26
rename update zip
if it is not already named like that
and then put it on your devices root
go to updates
lokal update
and here you go
Hi derulf for the full firmware I am not sure to update to the chinese version but I was asking about flashing the modem firmware only from the 26s on the 19s. thanks for the reply.
taking about firmwares, Just for the future if you update from an Indian firmware (5.8.19S) with a Chinese firmware (5.9.26S) are you losing all of the settings and installed app?

Its not in the rom, its in the firmware, even xiaomi built in kk firmware factory test failed in proximity test, but the ll built in one is success in proximity test
If u have 2gb ram phone stick to lollipop with volte.
