1)https://en.miui.com/download-354.html -> stable rom download
2) fastboot oem edl
3) Extract stable rom
4) image folder in rawprogram0.xml file modify (dummy.img add)
<program SECTOR_SIZE_IN_BYTES="512" file_sector_offset="0" filename="dummy.img" label="modemst1" num_partition_sectors="16384" physical_partition_number="0" size_in_KB="8192.0" sparse="false" start_byte_hex="0x27ff400" start_sector="81914"/>
<program SECTOR_SIZE_IN_BYTES="512" file_sector_offset="0" filename="dummy.img" label="modemst2" num_partition_sectors="16384" physical_partition_number="0" size_in_KB="8192.0" sparse="false" start_byte_hex="0x2fff400" start_sector="98298"/>
5) by using xaomiflash flash

good luck.
I've done what you say, now my phone's mobile connection is lost, even after flashing the stock ROM with MiFlash several times. Thanks, I guess. lol

When you flashing Pie pas the points 3. and 4. !! That's manual is for downgrading to Oreo.
I downgraded using your method, then I lost mobile connection on Oreo. So I downloaded stock Pie from Xiaomi and flashed it, problem was still there, even after I flashed stock via MiFlash and skipped 3-4 (obviously). This method you wrote, seriously f***s up some stuff. So yeah, I'd suggest people to stay away from it. I could barely fix it in an hour.

What a mess...
O understood that the "persist.img" & "dummy.img" process was for the Oreo 8.1 stock rom, after the downgrade.
And nothing changed. Still have swapped SIM slots.
But actually this is not a problem. Even with swapped
SIM slots everything works fine, both SIM and both voice and data.
Meaning that the swapped SIM slots downgrade problem is not the same for everybody, neither the solutions...
