Questions about TWRP and ROMs XT890 - RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
I have a Razr I XT890, and I just unlocked my bootloader. I have a few questions about ROMs and the TWRP:
My objective is give a phone faster and cleaner for my father...now the phone has too much stock apps and older android version.
1 - Is there any 5.x ROM or 6.x ROM available for XT890?
2 - The CyanogenMOD "spyder" model will not be compatible, right?
3 - Why I need to use the TWRP 3.x for ROMs 6.x, if is not possible to have ROMs 6.x on that device?
4 - Is there any boot logo to flash with fastboot to get away from the bootloader advice?
5 - If I want to get a Retail ROM 4.x, I will need to flash with TWRP 3.x or TWRP 2.8.x? Is there any diference?
Thanks for the atention guys!

Just to be clear:
Flashing of ROM was sucessful, always with wipe and the ROM boots fine? And on each ROM during setup it reboots?
The only thing I can think of:
Do you also have the latest firmware installed? See this thread for more info.

Problem for install FW WW-11.4.1.29 (Resolved)

Hello,
I wanted to install a ROM 5.1.1
For that, I first wanted to upgrade my existing FW to last, ie the WW-11.4.1.29.
So I wanted to flash the ROM Stock Asus from my Recovery 6.0.5.0
But the install does not happen.
He said that the latter is intended for K000C, while I have a TF701T.
At a minimum, I do not want to flash the ROM.
Just have the latest firmware.
Currently, the bootloader tells me I am WW_epad-10.26.1.18-20131217
Thank you in advance for your assistance
Just flash this as long as you have the tf701 to update the boot loader and make sure you have the correct US or WW version... http://forum.xda-developers.com/tra...overy-kang-twrp-tf700t-2-8-x-xarea51-t3121989 scroll down to where you see FLASHABLE ZIPS INCLUDING LATEST BOOTLOADER FOR WW & US SKUs
Many Many thanks

To Install a Custom Rom Safely, Plzz Help ... :D

Hi,
I own a Motorola Moto g2 (2014) Indian Version, 16 gb and i am running a stock firmware 5.0.2, rooted and bootloader unlocked. and i want to install a Custom ROM, So i went on to Youtube and find out how to unlock the bootloader and install Super SU.
After that i came to know about this site, and thought of flashing CM 13, and so in order to do that it was required to update bootloader, since it won't work on bootloader 4.4
So, i followed the instructions clearly and updated the bootloader and the TWRP Recovery , Both are successfull.
Now comes the problem part for me:
So when i browsed the xda developers site in the moto g 2014 thread , i came across this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/6-0official-indian-ota-zip-captured-t3299550
It said
So to everyone here. After updating to 6.0 I don't think it's a good idea to downgrade to 5.0.2 and update it with stagefright update over the air.
I made it and it hardbricked my phone.
5.0.2 bootloader version is 48.83
6.0 bootloader version is 48.86
So, don't downgrade your bootloader, it can cause hardbrick!
so, i got afraid, since i am going to install cm 13 nightly which is unstable and the bootloader already updated, will i be having problems when i restore it back to stock 5.0.2
and would it be safe if i installed cm 12.1 after updating the booloader or will it hard brick my phone. (since cm 12.1 is stable version compared to cm 13)
P.S Can someone post a link on how to backup before installing the Custom ROM, since i always see this step:
that is to make a backup using TWRP and then use advanced wipe to wipe the device, the only question is won't the adavanced wipe deletes the backup folder ?
And Is there any stable ROMS for moto g that runs marshmallow, + is it possible to install multi ROM twrp and Install CM 13 Along with the Stock Android

Firmware and custom ROMs help

Hello all,
I did some searching here on XDA and on the internet regarding the flashing but I was unable to find any definitive answer to this so maybe someone here can help me out, here goes:
As far as I'm aware, Xiaomi does not provide a source code for their drivers (firmware) which means we need to use precompiled binaries for specific android versions, downloadable for example here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k2...mware-xiaomi-mi-9t-pro-redmi-k20-pro-t3955317
What I don't exactly understand is how can one go about installing a custom ROM (e.g LineageOS) and drivers in case there is a difference between Android versions when flashing a ROM (e.g going from Android 9 based MIUI 10 to Android 10 based LineageOS 17)
Most of the how-to's I found on installing a custom ROM specify that I should update to MIUI 11 (Android 10) first before installing LineageOS 17 so the firmware is up to date and working but I would like to avoid this due to Xiaomi's anti-rollback "feature" (fastboot getvar anti) which will then prevent me from installing back MIUI 10 (in case I might want to roll back)
Does anyone know how/where is the firmware stored exactly? As I understand, the firmware is installed via TWRP therefore I believe it's stored somewhere on filesystem, do I need to flash the firmware/ROM in specific order when flashing a new ROM via TWRP (ROM first, then firmware)?
For now, I came up with these steps:
1. Unlock bootloader - already done
2. Install TWRP
3. Flash custom ROM (Android 10 / LineageOS 17)
4. Flash Firmware (Extracted from Android 10 / MIUI 11)
5. Wipe data/dalvik/etc. + install gapps/magisk/etc.
6. Reboot
Will this work?
Thanks a bunch!
our phone doesn't have anti-rollback. Source: xiaomi.eu
my guide: bit.do/raphaelguide
I'd advise updating the firmware of stock miui, so you are up-to-date normally. The firmware is located in the vendor. the vendor and firmware files are combined. (links in my guide as well.
Updating to an AOSP rom from miui is also in my guide.
Hello there, I have bought an Xiaomi Mi 9t pro in Germany 2 Days ago.
The guy who used it before had unlocked the Bootloader and installed the TWRP. This is working great and I've got no Problem with that.
He Also installed another ROM. In The beginning there was the Original EEA Rom. Now it is runnning with "MIUI 11 | V11.0.5.0QFKCNXM|(stable)".
He said this ROM is the original Global ROM from China and because of that the Phone identifys as Redmi K20 Pro. I've got no Problem with that, because I know These are the same phones. But my Question is: What is the difference between these two ROM's and does it make sense to use the ROM witch is installed already? Because actually i wanted to test the phone with the original ROM. And where can I find the actuall original ROM?
Thanks a bunch!

Your phone now has the Chinese ROM, not global.
The Chinese ROM is not so good for use outside of China.
You would be better using the latest EEA ROM, which you can download from here

This is a fastboot ROM and needs to be flashed in fastboot mode, not with TWRP.
There are plenty of guides here on flashing a fastboot ROM, just be careful not to re-lock the bootloader.
Thank you for the fast answer. I will try to install the original ROM as fast as i can find a good guide on how to install via fastboot .
Can you please tell me whats the difference in the methods of installing a ROM via fastboot or TWRP? Up to now I always worked with TWRP. But this is my first Xiaomi device.
And why the bootloader should be re-locked when I'm installing the ROM? And is there any problem with re-locking the bootloader?

Xiaomi release 2 ROMs for each version, a recovery ROM and a fastboot ROM.
The recovery ROM is a standard ROM that is flashed via recovery, i.e. TWRP. Fastboot ROMs are more for recovering a soft bricked phone. They include most of the phones partition images, not just the system image. When changing to a different region ROM, you need to flash a fastboot ROM, not the recovery ROM.
Flashing fastboot ROMs is normally done with the Mi Flash Tool. The tool defaults to flash and lock the bootloader. You need to manually change the flash option from the default to flash only option (called 'clean all' in the tool)
It is only possible to re-lock the bootloader when you are flashing a ROM that is for the original region of the phone, if you try and lock the bootloader when flashing a ROM for a different region, it will brick the phone.
Because you've bought the phone second hand, and the seller already lied about the Chinese ROM being global, then there is no guarantee that the phone is a genuine European model, so it is best to play safe and not re-lock the bootloader when flashing the EEA ROM.

Thank you for this great description. I will try top flash the european ROM this weekend. After everything works succesfull i will write here .
Only one more question.. flashing the original ROM with re-locking the Phone will deinstall TWRP and install an original bootloader?

So now I flashed it by fastboot and its running. I had to watch some videos an dread some sides to understand what to do to make the Mi Flash tool run. But all in all its not that complicated as i thought.
When I start the phone its still unlocked, but i think there is no TWRP anymore. Thats not that important for me now. But I'm missing some Features witch were in the chinese ROM already. For example the App drawer. I Thougt it would be normal to have one because up to now i only had Phones with it :/. I've read it will come with some extra updates, and i hope it will come soon.
Thank you for your help. I hope i will accustom myself to use the phone without the app drawer.

Question Error when trying to downgrade from android 13 to android 11

Unhappy with android 13, but getting "CHECK FAIL(BOOTLOADER) DEVICE 5. BINARY: 3" in ODIN when trying to flash stock Android 11.
Boatloader is unlocked. Is there any way around this or am I stuck with 13 ?
Regards Magnus
It is not possible to return to the previous version of the bootloader.
You have two solutions:
1. stay with the current firmware.
2. you flash TWRP and upload a custom ROM or custom stock ROM with android 11 ( if someone built it).
In the latter case, you will lose some features of the phone from the original firmware, but gain other properties of the custom ROM.
