All went fine from CN 12.5.2 -> EU 12.5.4, but then I tried to dirty flash weekly above stable and I faced bootloops to recovery... Fortunately, I finally managed to get it boot again without EDL
So if you want to change eu branch, format data to avoid bootloops

I had the bootloop, my computer couldn't see the phone is in fastboot mode and I flashed twrp recovery with a chinese program that has been published on this website. On twrp, I changed usb slot from B to A then eu rom flash with one line command worked fine as explained on EU rom thread.

I have tried to dirty flash in both directions and resulted in stuck in fastboot and lost the data each time

Ensure you have a backup ready if you Try any dirty flash is a good idea
