Yes, it's possible and go for EDL mode and then flash it via MiFlash. I've tried downgrading some time ago and that's the safest way to not mess up connectivity. Search for it, it's here on the forum. But frankly, why would you want to do that? I've been through many custom ROMs, tried many kernels, settings, etc., but I always come back to the official one. The reason is in the attached screenshot. It wasn't possible on any custom and until the official update to 11.0.7.0 (I was getting max 3 days on earlier builds). My method: install/update, clean all through the built-in recovery (mind that it's tricky to get into), then restore everything from Google cloud.Screenshot_20200815-214954.jpg

Well I taught myself to turn off stuff I don't need at the moment, especially mobile data, when I'm on WiFi. BT always on.
