@santoshhh000

Remember this before flashing any custom rom !

1 - Flash Anti-Brick Preloader on MIUI A9 ONLY Before doing anything Otherwise be prepared to go Service center.

2 - After flashing Anti-Brick patch

   To access fastboot or recovery use Volume Up + Power in order to access NEW BOOT MENU.

   Power + Volume Down will lead to FACTORY TESTING MENU.
