Flashing an operator branded Mi 11 with a stock rom

[Gaddouur]

Hello everyone

so i'm new here but i've done some thourough research about how to flash an operator branded mi 11 (mine is a branded SFR france rom RKBEUSF) to a stock rom! so i've got two questions and i hope i got answers with you guys!

1. the branded rom is miui 12.5.1 so can i flash it with miui 12.5.4 and not risk an antirollback error? (i have to mention that i dont want to flash it with the latest eea rom which is 12.5.7)

2. Can i flash a stock global rom in my branded sfr device and lock the bootloder (global not eea) without risking a bricked device?



thanks in advance guys

Hello!

1. As far as I know, the antirollback error should never happen on recent Xiaomi devices. Meaning you can flash any "fastboot" ROM (with an unlocked bootloader) or any Global ROM (with a locked bootloader) you want.

2. "EEA" ROM (=the current ROM of your device) is a Global ROM to Xiaomi so it should be possible to flash, without issue, the "Global" ROM with a locked bootloader.

EDIT: If you can't flash a fastboot ROM then you have to unlock the bootloader of your device first than use "clean flash & lock" (default option) in Mi Flash for flashing any Global "fastboot" ROM.

so i understand that you can flash a global rom even though my device came with a stock eea rom (rom for europe so it's another reason) and still lock the bootloader?
thank you for replying

Use the Mi Unlock tool during this period to check the time left but it's 7 days (1 week) so you normally no need to check it... ^^

You can flash an unlock phone with any compatible rom. Just don't try to re-lock the bootloader with anything but the original rom. I have the chinese version and have successfully flashed on my Mi 11 Ultra, the EEA rom, Global rom, Xiaomi stable and weekly. I am currently running the Xiaomi.eu weekly rom, based on MIUI 12.6 and Android 12 for my Mi 11 Ultra.
