First you have to Downgrade to Android 9.
Take full backup.. all data stored on phone will be deleted in this process.
There is an image available on official website named " Version MaxProM1_downgrade_to_9 "
Store it on sd card
Boot to recovery ( switch off phone, press " Volume down + Power " )
Choose apply update from sd card.
Choose downloaded file.
You will be downgrade to Android pie 60 version...
Now upgrade it to any beta version like you did with 438 version.
