Hi. I have Redmi 9T with, you know, horribly optimized MIUI 12.5.12. With MIUI 12, phone was wery smooth, but after 12.5 everything changed. So, I tried to downgrade it to MIUI 12 via updater app but that is officially unsupported. What can I do? Is it worth to wait more for long awaited MIUI 13, or go back to 12 (with flashing, or fastbooting, I don't know that well)? And if I'll do flashing, can I do without backup and in-phone data and media loss? There should be a solution. 😕

The bootloader must be Unlocked.
Backup with Micloud

I have a Redmi note 8 with Android 11 and I would like to go back to 10 (MIUI 12). I have Orangefox. How can I go back? I ask for help.I've read several things but I don't quite understand which procedure to use. Many thanks to anyone who will help me out.

So I can download the .zip file (Flashtool FULL ROM) and not Recovery from the Xiaomi site, copy it to the sd and flash it with OF? Is this just enough? The phone is not encrypted and I am also unrooting it. Thank you so much. Sorry but I'm a newbie.
Yep,O.F/TWRP
wipe/format data type yes reboot recovery/flash rom.
But I advise you to use Mi Flash with a Fastboot rom (TGZ, contains all imgs).
Alternative without Miflash: use the flash file all.bat from the folder extracted from the fastboot rom, with a PC.

ZD bro 😅, I stumbled across this site by accident. In short, the MIUI 13 update has arrived and the phone has been fixed, it almost doesn't freeze anymore and it doesn't need to be updated to 12 anymore. When Android 14 comes out, I'll install it somehow, or I'll be stuck :D. Thank you for the offer, I didn't think I would meet a Georgian on this site :D🤝🏻🇬🇪.

ZD ძმაო 😅, სულ შემთხვევით გავჩეკე ეს საიტი წეღან. მოკლედ, MIUI 13-ის განახლება მოვიდა და გამოსწორდა ტელეფონი, თითქმის აღარ ჭედავს და 12-ზე ჩამოსვლაც აღარ სჭირდება. აწი ანდროიდ 14 როცა გამოვა მაგას დავაყენებ რამენაირად, ან დავიკიდებ :D. გაიხარე მაინც შემოთავაზებისთვის, არც მეგონა ამ საიტზე ქართველი თუ შემხვდებოდა :D🤝🏻🇬🇪.

translated: me neither, by the way you have to use english on this site so others can see the solution, but there isn't anything important for others in this comment
