Downgrade Mi3 Marshmallow rom to Kitkat Rom

Dear All,

i am a super fan of MIUI and ensure that i use all the roms avaliable for my device Mi3. Recently, i used MIUI 8 China Alpha rom on my Mi3W (Indian Version). i was quite satified with the Alpha Rom but there were few concerns due to which i wanted to go back to Global Stable rom. So, i went to the forum where i downloaded the Mi3 fastboot rom (stable global version) and tried to implement it through Miflash application. It failed and i was forced to install the MIUI 8 China Alpha rom.

But i wanted to go back to the stock Kitkat global rom and tried many ways to ensure my handset is back to normal (as it came from MIUI when shipped).

Finally, i got the solution whcih i working perfectly and hence sharing with all the users whcih want to test the MIUI8 china rom (Alpha/Developer) but hesitate to use it due to issues.

One thing to mention here is "MIUI 8 rom for Mi3 is Marshmellow while the stock rom is on Kitkat with MIUI7. So, the internal partitions of the handset change when you upgrade from KITKAT to MARSHMALLOW. hence you can't go back to Stock stable rom (Kitkat).

This solution which i am mentioning now will enable you to go back to Stock stable rom on Mi3.

Step 1:- Download the rom from the link below

Step 2:- unzip it with 7zip application and keep it in a folder

Step 3:- ensure your mobile is charged for atleast 60%

Step 4:- open Miflash application and put the rom path in it.

Step 5:- Put your phone in fastboot mode (shut down the phone and press volume down key and press power button

Step 6: connect your phone to computer and press the refresh buttion on Miflash

Step 7: Now your phone should be visible in the Miflash. If yes, ensure that you select the "flash all" button and press the flash button.

Now the installation of the rom will start and disconnect the cable once the miflash with say "Operation Successful"

Step 8: If the phone does not auto reboot then keep pressing the power button until the phone restarts.

Step 9: 1st Boot will take sometime and select the language etc to use it. then BINGO your phone is on KITKAT China stable Rom without google services.

Step 10: Download the MIUI stable rom (http://ift.tt/KF5lcB) from the MIUI website and use the phone updater to choose this Global MIUI rom.

Step 11: the phone will restart and the installation will start.

BINGO....you are finally on MIUI7 Global stable Rom with Google Apps.

Hope you are able to use this and get the desired results.

Enjoy and God Bless.
