<![CDATA[Xiaomi Redmi 9C - Need to downgrade to Android 10 MIUI FW?]]>According to this README, you need to be on the latest Android 10 MIUI FW to install UT.

My device has Android 11 (MIUI 12.5.3), which is obviously an even later version. But do I strictly need Android 10? If so, I suppose I need to downgrade by flashing an older version of the FW?

Maybe the README could be clarified by mentioning that Android 11 and later is not OK?

I'd think that "the latest Android 10 MIUI FW" means that, and no other. If a recipe says to use apple juice, would you want it to add that pineapple juice or apple sauce are not suitable?

I will do that once the bootloader has been unlocked. Maybe the README could be clarified by mentioning that Android 11 and later is not OK?

Edit: BTW, I didn't find a Redmi 9C subsection so the post ended up in a top category.

You're correct. Your device needs to be downgraded to be able to install Ubuntu Touch.

BTW, I moved the thread to the specific category for your device.
There are so many Xiaomi that I could be confused by the names. In this case let me know and I'll move to the more general Xiaomi category.
