Clean Install,
Flash all, Boot, System and Userdata + GApps just like fresh install.
If you were on 5.0.4 or above you could have done only flashed Boot and System.

are you sure? cause i've just seen it in his site he wrote that you don't have to flash user data if you're coming from a 5.x build.

If you read all the notes you will see that from 5.0.4 he is using a new set of GApps, which means you have to flash all if you were below 5.0.4.

Can someone tell me which files I should flash? Are any of these files full ROM zips or do I have to flash multiple zips? Or are these only for locked bootloaders? I'm unlocked.

you can flash any of the zips with "system" in the name; the names are self explanatory.
it isn't necessary to flash boot (but doesn't hurt) unless you are upgrading from an earlier stock build or coming from an aosp/cm/cm-variant build.
it isn't necessary to flash radio (but doesn't hurt) unless you are upgrading from an earlier stock build or have done the gsm hack and want to undo it.

what did you have installed before trying to flash? as i mentioned, if you're coming from a stock build prior to 98.30.1 or from aosp/cm, you need to flash the boot image. if you're not even getting to the bootanimation, this is likely the issue. if you're coming from an earlier stock build, you should also flash the radio. if you boot loop on the animation, you need to wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache.

if you know of a good massage app, i'd like to know what it is, especially if it gives happy endings lol.
if you mean "message" which i imagine you do, there are various messaging apps available on the play store, the most notable being google hangouts which now has sms integration.
the purpose of this rom is to remove all unnecessary apps that can be downloaded from the play store, so you're not stuck with a bunch of bloat that you don't want or need. there are replacements for the phone, contacts, camera, and gallery as well...

yes, wifi tether is unlocked, as mentioned in the op.
as for wifi, there's no reason it shouldn't work, as i didn't modify anything that has to do with it. i'd recommend wiping everything except internal and external storage, then flashing boot, system, and radio to ensure a clean install. please post if you still have issues after doing that.

[Q] Would like to return to CM11

1. Download the 12B bootstack - from this post here
2. Downlaod the Official CM build of your choice from the CM Download site
3. Boot into recovery
4. Do a true wipe (Yes, data must go)
5. Flash the 12B bootstack
6. Reboot to recovery
7. Flash the CM build of your choice
8. Reboot
9. Allow up to 10 minutes for the first boot to finish
In theory, this should work. I haven't tried it.

Part of the reason why I asked this question is because I flashed the 12B bootstack, then attempted to restore my cm11 nandroid. That didn't work so well. Why would restoring a nandroid after flashing the 12B bootstack not work? Luckily I could still get into recovery.

Unless I'm mistaken, you shouldn't have to wipe before restoring a nandroid backup, right? Isn't it just applying the whole image to the phone? I know I've done it before on other phones without any problems.

I'm not 100% familiar with how TWRP or CWM or anyone else writes their restore function, but I've always done a full wipe (except SD) when restoring as to eliminate any other bits that could be lingering from the bad flash.

This flashable zip overwrites our custom recovery after flashed?
Coz a custom recovery (like TWRP/CWM) prevents me from using a PC,
If these zip flashes also the recovery back to stock, then we cant go back/revert back from Nandroid without a PC..
Just a simple question, but I put mu reasons why.. Heheh.
Thanks by the way for sharing the ROM..

That's what happens when you wipe system. The issue seems to be that he does not know how to get the ROM zip into internal storage after messing with TWRP wipe.

You might as well just manually wipe data, system and cache in the advanced menu.
Reboot back into TWRP and drag the file into your internal storage to flash. Or you can just adb sideload the rom.
If you're trying to put your ROM in via booting up android, it's not going to work because you've already wiped the system, hence no OS.

He does have the same problem. However his dilemma now after doing a full wipe is that he does not know how to put stuff in his internal storage without booting into system.

MIUI 11 Open Beta

I'm not quite familiar with how open betas work. Are they invite-only? Do we have to do something to get it? or will it be available via OTA and it's up to us to download it? Or do we just flash it?
Can somebody clarify? Thank you

Beta are always invite only. You had to fill the form to be able to receive it over the air. Never the less, if you have an unlocked bootloader, you can just download that build and flash it through TWRP. The latest build has been floating on the internet since its release.

If you’re already running stock China MIUI, you could just dirty flash it. Wiping Data doesn’t wipe your Internal Storage. Backup beforehand incase something goes wrong.

Just copy your important stuff from Internal storage to PC. Flash the MIUI beta followed by a Cache, Dalvik wipe. Reboot. If you rather want it clean, go back to stock recovery after first MIUI 11 boot and wipe data. That should suffice for a clean restore.
PS: Stock Recovery would overwrite your custom TWRP on boot so incase you need that, you’ll have to flash it again.
