I unlocked the bootloader and flashed pure android to get away from MiUI's ads and constant tracking. Due to COVID, I didn't have anything else to do at home, so finished the whole unlock/flash process in a couple of hours. It connects to Mi servers every 4 seconds and just constantly sends logs. I noticed it and immediately switched.

Can you recommend a guide to do this?

Yeah sure. It's extremely easy. Where did you get the phone from?

That is do you have the EU version, Indian model or the Chinese version?

If you have trouble finding it, look for MIUI version in settings.In the 'About' section of your phone.
