Hi, my Mi 8 runs xiaomi.eu 8.9.24 Pie rom. I want to downgrade using fastboot to Global Stable Miui 9 that is Oreo.
Then I run "fastboot getvar" and the results is "Anti:1". What does it man? Some users says that it's ok to downgrade cause the ARB protection is not enable but I'm not sure.
So can I downgrade?
Thank you
 
I downgraded from miui.eu 8.9.24 PIE, to MIUI 10.0.2.0 overall using MIFLASH without problems. Where did you find ROM MIUI 9 for fastboot?

Tenha cuidado ao usar MIFLASH para evitar o bloqueio do carregador de inicialização com uma versão diferente da que o dispositivo suporta.

Se você retornar ao MIUI 9, por favor me dê um retorno. Eu quero voltar também.

Be careful when using MIFLASH to avoid blocking the bootloader with a different version than your device supports.

If you return to MIUI 9, please give me a return. I want to go back too.

Done, very simply
9.8.24 Pie -> Fastboot MIUI 9.5.13.0 Oreo -> xiaomi.eu 8.8.30

Check always "fastboot getvar anti", but if you're still on Oreo there wouldn't be problem

Very good, used MIFLASH or just the extracted ROM file and flash.all. I still come back today to MIUI 9. MIUI 10 is still problematic.
 
Mi Flash bro, now it works like a charm
So you can confirm that "fastboot getvar anti" with result "anti:1" means that ARB is not activated? There are so many different meanings that I need one who had the same result as I have. I´m also on 8.9.24. Thanks in advance.

Sure, Anti:1 means that ARB is not activated so you can downgrade. I tested it myself
 
The question is, if I downgrade with this ROM MIUI 9 9.5.13, will I get an OTA update for 9.6.7 or will I get direct to MIUI10 again?
 
how about getvar:anti FAILED (remote: GetVar Variable Not found)? i check in fastboot then i get this Getvar..

there is no ARB, I have the same as you. I came back from version 8.9.24 to stable global MIUI10 8.1 via MIFLASH. The maximum ARB in mi8 is ARB 1, so there are no problems.

You can downgrade without problems
My Mi 8 Pro is ARB=1
Can I downgrade from Global 10.2.2.0 Pie to Global 9.6.5 Oreo?
Have I to unlock bootloader? Or can I do this directly with fastboot? Or with MiFlashTool?
I don't want brick my phone... :rolleyes:
Thanks for all advices.
