Hi,
I have the Mi 9T Pro global (not EU, China or India), and the only ROMs I have been able to boot are Xiaomi.eu. I've tried flashing HAVOC, Syberia Project, Evolution X and C-Droid following their instructions, the results are always the same: black screen, and TWRP becomes unaccessible, even if I try reflashing TWRP from Fastboot, it won't let me. Then I have to boot into Fastboot and flash stock ROM using Mi Flashing Tool, and flash TWRP from Fastboot again. What am I missing?

At the point where you normally wipe data, dalvik and cache, before installing the ROM, try formatting data instead and wipe the other 2.

I tried formatting data, as it is part of the instructions of one of the ROMs I tried to flash, no success.

What version of TWRP are you using? If you're using something different then try 3.3.1-15 from here. https://forum.xda-developers.com/k2...icial-twrp-xiaomi-redmi-t3944363/post79823568

Exactly the latest one from mauronofrio, no other, as I even tried flashing Orange Fox and it never got into it, forcing me to reflash stock again to flash mauronofrio's TWRP.
I followed instructions from the ROMs I tried, none of them seem to work.

you are the same with me..im on mi 9T pro running global 10.3.1.0 PFKMIXM..no luck flashing custom rom..now my 10.3.1.0 rooted + quax kernel..even cant flash quax custom kernel on 10.3.2.0..always goes to fastboot mode after done flashing and click reboot into system via twrp..now im stuck on 10.3.1.0...also im using the latest twrp too..
Same here. I can install eu miui roms but cannot install any aosp based roms. Goes straight back to fast boot. Went back to using eu miui roms as of now.
Can anyone suggest what is going wrong. Seems like once you install an EU rom you cannot go back to any aosp roms.
I'm thinking about the vendor. I remember a post saying that our firmware or vendor are weird and try to revert to stock, and need to be patched. But I can't find that post anywhere. I've tried all suggestions: format /data, flashing Magisk, flash ROM and GAPPS and wait for boot to complete to flash Magisk (never got that far).

Solved. The issue is with the vendor files. I've flashed fastboot chinese rom and then installed aosp rom and it worked.

Also, is there any risk to brick or lose bands if flashing a Chinese vendor on a global phone? I don't want to lose the only LTE band in my country (700 b28)

No you won't lose any bands. Same as you don't gain bands when flashing a global ROM on a Chinese/Indian phone

Please help me. I can't seem to understand what exactly I need to do in order to install a custom ROM on my K20 Pro (Global 10.3.5.0.) I have tried following this (https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20...0-pro-t3953844) post thoroughly and others as well, but can't seem to exactly understand what I am required to do. Most custom ROM's state [Raphael], but as I purchased this device in India, it would most probably be [Raphaelin], after unlocking the Bootloader and installing TWRP, am I supposed to flash a Custom ROM (for ex. Lineage OS) directly or would I have to install a ROM which would make my device [Raphael]? Vendor and Firmware have gone over my head, I do not understand what I need to di. If someone could help me out, It would be mean a lot. Thank you.

If you're running stock MIUI and haven't moved to any custom MIUI's till date then you can straight away flash LOS. Moreover, most of the custom roms work on multiple vendors irrespective of whether it is a China Vendor or India or Global. It doesn't matter till the time the developer specifically asks you to be on a particular vendor.
Vendor isn't a dreaded thing. It's just the drivers needed to run the various components in the device (BT, WiFi etc). Till the time you don't wipe the vendor partion in twrp, you would always be good to go. You could carry on flashing custom roms w/o careing about the vendor.

Thank you very much for your reply. So, just to check if I have understood correctly. I can just install TWRP and then flash Lineage OS straight away, right? I checked (https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/development/rom-lineageos-16-0-t3965311), and it mentioned:
Instructions :
Download the latest build and GApps
Reboot to recovery
Flash proper vendor and firmware
Flash the latest build and GApps
Reboot
What is "proper vendor and firmware"? And would I also be required to flash this?
Thank you.

Go back to the Lineage instructions and read immediately below that. It starts P.S.
It explains exactly proper vendor and firmware means.
No you won't need to install anything for this step

Nope ! You don't need to flash vendor + firmware as you already running an untouched stock MIUI build. That is for people who are coming from either modified MIUI builds (EU, Miroom etc) or custom roms with a different vendor (India device running on China Vendor)
Custom roms don't carry the Vendor Firmware files and you can only modify the existing Vendor when you move to other region stock or custom MIUI roms.
Back up your data on Internal storage to a safe place either on a PC or OTG. Skip this step if you have nothing important.
Boot In TWRP
Wipe System, Data , Cache , Dalvik
(Don't reboot at this point, Not Even a Recovery reboot)
Flash LOS
Flash GApps
Go to Advanced Wipe and Format Data by typing Yes
Reboot

my device is raphalein (K20 PRO INDIAN)
and i flashed miui 11.0.2 China FASTBOOT Rom.
later when i tried to install Indian FASTBOOT ROM
it said device and vendor missmatch in MI flash.
i fixed this problem by firstly flashing RECOVERY orangefox( its an entire process so...do it carefully)
than wiped everything , DATA ,CACH, SYSTEM, DALVIK CACHE, VENDOR
and then flash this https://downloads.akhilnarang.me/MI...al-V11.0.1.0.QFKINXM-10.0-vendor-firmware.zip
and now u can flash FASTBOOT LATEST INDIAN ROM.
hope it will fix it.

There was an easy solution to this. All you had to do is change a couple of lines in the installation script and flash it with Mi flashtool. I also got the error and did a simple Google search and figured it out.
So I had Xiaomi.eu rom 12.0.1.0 installed and got the update for 12.0.2.0,I dirty flashed this and now the phone goes to the mi screen and flashes directly back to orange fox recovery, not sure why its not booting, i did a full wipe aswell

If you're flashing miui rom (vendor, eu, custom like miroom) using recovery, dfe may be required.
There's a option in ofox for disabling encryption during flash. I keep it enabled every time I flash xeu updates. To my experience, otherwise the the boot fails and returns to recovery again.

There is no need to flash dfe, if you prefer to keep the phone encrypted.
In future remove lockscreen security before updating the xiaomi.eu ROM. Then add the lockscreen security back after dirty flashing the update.

I've been using mauronofrio's TWRP on this phone for over a year and never had any problems with it when flashing ROMs. I've recently updated TWRP to the latest 3.4.0-0 and had no problems flashing LOS.
There is one bug that has never been fixed. Sometimes when you boot into TWRP it does not recognise any touch on the screen. Just turn the display off and on again with the power button and it works fine after that.

The TWRP I've pointed you to is the better option. Orange Fox is only good for installing if you plan to stick with MIUI.
There is absolutely no need to flash DM Verify, or a DFE script.
You will not need to flash firmware and vendor files if coming from the latest MIUI 12.

Now I'm stuck in booting into TWRP recovery. I looked up a few kinds of stuff and none of them worked. Is anyone else facing the same problem? has anyone got a working fix? I tried removing the TWRP folder, re-flashing TWRP with TWRP and orange fox recover, and then flashing ROM. non helped. got a broken phone now any help is appreciated.

AOSP roms can be under ANDROID 11 or 12 or 13.
PixelExperience
Android OS version: 11.0.0_r40
The first version is in A11 and since August in A12

I had A12 then. I flashed pixel experience 12.1 on May 28(PixelExperience_Plus_raphael-12.1-20220528-1605-OFFICIAL.zip) and it went thru just fine. Now the updates of 8/20 bricked the phone.
After format data, I get the Readonly info screen, I swipe to allow modification, side loads the latest download PixelExperience_Plus_raphael-12.1-20220820-1448-OFFICIAL.zip, and restart, but back to TWRP recovery.
Some things I tried
0. https://wiki.pixelexperience.org/devices/raphael/install/
1. https://www.getdroidtips.com/keep-booting-twrp-recovery/
2. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/pixelexperience-stuck-in-bootloop.4435533/ ( it's shown for beryllium but I did for Raphael code with all files related to Raphael version such has recovery and pixel exp. img file
Any other flow I can try to get it fixed ?
I'm thinking to reverting back to MIUI is nth works.

Wipe everything, system, vendor, internal storage, dalvik, cache via advanced wipe, then flash firmware and vendor or if your rom has included firmware then just flash the rom directly. Try to boot into OS if it still bring back to twrp then again repeat the above steps and this time flash stock vendor and firmware from mi website and try to boot into OS.

All the best
yes using the team win version of TWRP. Used Orange Fox recovery. ( nice look and feel and features btw). But they didn't work either. What could I try more? Could I be able to revert back to MIUI stock ROM ? let me know if you have good resources. Thank you very much for your time and efforts

Back to MIUI
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/flash-tool-guide-use-xiaomi-flash-tool.4262425/
flashed stock miui rom for now. Will tap into pixel rom in few days.
now that I think, I think I did a blunder, thinking I was in A12. Can you point me to A12 firmware for Redmi k 20 pro? I"m looking into https://miuirom.org/phones/xiaomi-12, but they seem to be recovery and not firmware. I'm not sure if recovery comes with firmware. As I need to format to install, will the firmware stay or not?

Xiaomi has stopped updating on Android version 11.
Which rom do you want to install?

Why bothering to manually search here and there for official ROMs
Install the app:
MIUI Downloader - Apps on Google Play
MIUI upgrade app for Mi users.
play.google.com
and the app will show you links to download the latest Global, EEA, etc, zip/recovery or tgz/fastboot, or you can scroll through the older versions and pick an older if you wish
Btw, latest are MIUI 12.5, A11 - there are no official A12 ROMs for Mi 9/Redmi K20 line of models
Even if they receive MIUI 13, it will be (for some already released, but eg China only, etc) it will be A11
Same issue, I guess this is it for me. Time to buy a new phone rather than accidentally losing data from time to time with custom ROMs. I wonder if they didn't know such issue exists before releasing it to the public.
