    Can I downgrade to previous ROMs if I installed MIUI10 EU?

    You have an Anti 4 triggered rom. Don't flash any older MIUI roms/firmware with Anti 3 or you will brick your device. You can flash any custom rom you choose, just avoid downgrading your firmware. See this XDA thread, I already linked, for means to flash twrp and/or enable fastboot commands.

    Can I downgrade to previous ROMs if I installed MIUI10 EU?

    Your only "fugged huh" if you flashed a recent MIUI Rom or Firmware. You can test your device with this command: - fastboot getvar anti If it returns 3 your fine. 4 and ARP has been triggered. Just don't flash MIUI with updated firmware in the rom or updated firmware zips.

    No you can not restore a prior bootloader and rom, if you have triggered ARP. It would brick your device.
