Can we go back to android one stock rom after trying MIUI ? Is there any problem going from A/B partition to A only and back? Any major bugs in MIUI ? Thank you very much for your response and guide.

 

[hrizuwan]

Thank you for the instructions.
Please tell me how to go to edl mode and also in the step no 13 after unzip and deleting the "firmware update" do i need to repack it? And how will I install via twrp? As an img or a zip file?

And also which are the bugs? Is it as smooth as the other xiaomi devices?
Again thank you for your efforts.

Give a review. How is the performance and all? Can be used as a daily driver?

definetely suitable as daily driver since its the official ROM by xiaomi for the 6X and our devices share same specs.

Did you check this rom out personally? If so then how was your experience? Battery life improved? And also can you help me how can I go to edl mode?

Thanks in advanced ?

Of course man, check first post OP mentioned me at the end. Battery life didn't improve, it's same as on Stock. I get 5-6h SOT with some tweaks other people here on xda are also using. To reboot simply type "fastboot reboot edl" when in fastboot mode.

 

[Danielmote]

I'd also like to know how to get back to stock if I end up flashing miui.

The camera works with GCam but with the stock MIUI, when you take a picture, it crashes instantly. Overall, great performance! I was able to install AOSP Extended Custom ROM as well for Mi 6X on my Mi A2 by just downloading the zip file for wayne + Gapps and flashed them through TWRP. All of this is possible because the device got converted to wayne (Mi 6x) with the partition layout. So any custom ROM made for Mi 6x is compatible.

Edit: Custom ROM from mi-globe.com works even the camera! So I think it's a bug in the stock ROM, idk.

is unlocked bootloader and edl access denied after convert ?

 

[djmitza222]

Bootloader needs to be unlocked before the convert. Bootloader stays unlocked after, so no problem with that. EDL access it's still granted. If you want to relock bootloader, you need to convert the phone back to jasmine (Mi A2), otherwise you will brick it.

Flash this TWRP: https://mega.nz/#!2I4AxQpL!uB4JF1f27NusRmNHZ2HHW0-ig_EyQqvWYj9h02cm8bU

Then boot into it, Wipe - Format Data - Write YES and confirm. Boot back to TWRP, copy the MIUI10 zip, wipe data/cache and flash it then reboot to system.
