Mi A1 and Mi 5x - Interchangeable ROMs ?

[KhaledAbdo]

Hello All ..

I have a question that might be a little Noob .. if Mi A1 and Mi 5X are the Exact same devices in terms of hardware layer .. why aren't their ROMs interchangeable ? Why can't we use A1 Stock Android ROM found Miui site , here:

http://en.miui.com/download-333.html

On a 5X device ?
And vice versa, why can't an A1 user download the MiUi Rom for 5X, found here :

http://en.miui.com/download-329.html

On his device to use?

Based on the answer .. what will be the ways to obtain the above scenario ?

thanks for the answer.
this means that using ROMs interchangeably should be possible with the New bootloader and a script to repartition to the new layout .. ?

If Im not wrong there is already a method for installing the other device ROM. Here is a thread to install a A1 ROM to 5x: http://en.miui.com/thread-825694-1-1.html
