About a month ago, Xiaomi introduced a anti-rollback system for the smartphone Redmi Note 5, through which downgrade to previous versions of MIUI was prevented, bringing inexorably to a brick of the phone. Unfortunately this plague has also been extended to Xiaomi Mi 6X, which in fact only mounts the China ROM: therefore anyone who has the version China Stable 9.6.4.0 or the 8.8.6 Beta you will no longer be able to successfully downgrade. We know it's an absurd thing and in a way that is going to harm the soul of open source but it seems that Xiaomi is beginning to take these measures to maintain stability and security on their phones.
The announcement was issued through the official MIUI community and at present, It is highly likely that more smartphone models will be introduced in the anti-rollback mechanism in the future, which basically exists on Google Android 8.0 due to global attention to the security of information on user data. In fact it is Big G to have created the security function called Rollback Protection in the Android 8.0 system, which will prevent the device from returning to the previous version of the firmware.
Even Xiaomi Mi 6X gets (unfortunately) the anti-rollback
A pity, albeit legitimate, but that will create many headaches to thousands of users, even if actually those of them have ever made a downgrade? And what do you think? Below is the technical data sheet of the Mi 6X.
