Can TWRP be installed on any Mi5 with any ROM? - Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers

Im on ROM Global Beta 6.11.10, so can I installed the TWRP 3.0.2.1 on it with no problems?

official TWRP - where to - web site
always go with the latest realease
(if not stated otherwise by author/maintainer) and use the one made for your phone (if available).
Remember the rules of the miui (and of the fora): read&patience ... then try or test ... and sometimes go back
So for the official TWRP you can go visit their website and have a look there (otherwise roam this forum -and other ones- for valid alternate versions).
Go to the source: the TWRP website > choose your device
and also read the info (important!) > here the FAQ page

If your BootLoader is unlocked, it should be possible.
But unlocking BL needs MIUI China Developer or the MIUI Global Developer.
And i think you don't have one of those if i read it correct.

But it seems easy unlock the bootloader, I know that the request will not be answered immediatly, but it Will be the time to the developers make a stable version ofi the CM 14.1. I only fear to try to install the TWRP and Brick the device, so my question is that if any Mi5 with the unlocked bootloader can haver the TWRP flashed without risks

In fact, yes.
But no one can give you a garantee that it will work.
But there are lots of people now with TWRP on Mi5 (including me) and no problems, if you follow the instructions closely.
But you will need MIUI Chinese Developer version OR MIUI Global Developer version.
And you need first the BL unlocked.
You can after that also first install CM13, which is pretty stable, and later switch to CM14.1 when it is stable.

Sorry to ask, but by Global developer version you mean the Beta version? Im on ROM MIUI 8 6.11.10 Global Beta.. so its fine to flash the TWRP?..One more thing, here on XDA I saw on the GUIDE that te more updated version was TWRP 3.0.2.0, but to Mi5 currently is the 3.0.2.3 correct? And the only way to update the TWRP is to flash it again?

You need the developer versions to activate the Root option, then you can go on with TWRP installation.
MIUI versions:
http://en.miui.com/a-232.html
MIUI Download versions:
http://en.miui.com/download-299.html
Just follow these steps for TWRP installation:

I had indeed Global beta pre-installed on my phone. And after a little explore i found out that is the same rom as Global dev. So yes, i did unlock my Mi 5 with Global beta and then flashed twrp and CM 13.
At least i understand that it is the same from MIUI forum.
And anyway it worked.

How I feel about CM 13? Great rom. Everything worked fine and smoother than MIUI in my opinion. Now I've moved to CM 14.1 and there are few little bugs but overall i recommend also that as daily rom.

but i would prefer the chinese developer rom. the original developer rom allows to buy paid themes, while the xiaomi.eu rom only provides free themes in the theme store.

If you have unlocked your bootloader, use directly MI flash in fastboot mode with fastboot rom.
I have flashed 5.11.26 via fastboot like on a guide on en.miui and it worked but the bootloader won't get unlocked. Can I flash Miui 8 and don't care about boot loader cause I don't want to put custom ROM or will I need to do unlocking even to flash Miui 8?

Nope, I didn't try. Before I've unlocked my bootloader via the form on miui.com, I couldn't get the official ROM to boot, as soon as I flashed gapps + supersu. So I flashed the xiaomi.eu ROM which contains all gapps in the ROM already. But yeah, I would prefer to use the original ROM, since paid themes are only available for the official version, plus it contains the Mi Store with all the pirated apps.

So, did you get back to dev?
I have succeeded in flashing Miui 8 over an old version of Miui 7 then I installed gapps with an en.miui tuto but now I have problems installing superSu to fully root the phone and use Titanium to restore everything I had.
Any advice.?
Note if you try to unlock bootloader: it worked for me only after getting Miui 8.
don't bother with china rom, too much bloatware, location probably not working, chinsese functions not disabled. Use the xiaomi.eu rom, it's much better, it's the china dev rom but transformed into a global rom.

Don't tell what you don't know...
"probably"...
Word that indicates how reliable it's all you're saying.
Location works, "your" bloatwares deactivated with the simple native root of rom.
Use it before denigrate.
ho it seem that you have no clue about the differences (except languages and gapps) between chinese, global and xiaomi.eu rom,. have fun with the rom

I prefer the original chinese rom, it's less bugged, has the chinese mi store and the full theme store (i have mi credits and also use paid themes). but i'm on xiaomi.eu since miui8 came out. i'm just too lazy nowadays to bother with my devices for more than 1 hour, and this tinkering can take hours and hours. if xiaomi will not release an SD820 or SD821 device with 2K screen and at least 6" i will be out soon, but i will miss miui so damn much
They say it will be 5.5 inches I would also prefer 5.7-5.8 inches at least

How to install last Global Beta 8.10.11 (Pie) from Stable Global 10.0.2.0 (Oreo 8.1)

My advise, stay on stable. Currently all MIUI ROM sucks and buggy. Literally Only difference you will notice in Pie is more bugs and issues.

I use the 8.10.11 after using the 10.02 stable. The Camera Quality is better and Android Auto works fine now.
Flashing the beta is only possible via Fastboot.

Thanks for your reply. You are 100% right. After some research I realized that it is NOT possible to flash the Developer ROM with a locked bootloader. I even tried older Developer ROM's which were still based on Android 8.1 because the newer versions were based on Android 9.0. A few days ago, the Pocophone and the Mi A2 allowed me to switch from Stable to Developer and back, without any problems, simply by flashing the .zip via the stock Updater app.

It is not possible, you need to unlock the bootloader AND install custom recovery. Xiaomi phones aren't always the easiest to return to stock should you actually decide to do it and then decide to return to stock.
The official stable release is rumored to arrive in November, possibly even December, so it might be a good idea to wait a little longer.

It's really a bad idea :
- A lot of Official Xiaomi Mi 11 tester have encounter EDL mode / Full Brick by flashing OTA ROM
- Actual TWRP is NOT compatible with A12... (and it's the only way you can flash your link because we don't have the fastboot version)
So before share this, try yourself but you are warned... be careful !
hello, from more than android 11 to android 12 the change will not even be seen I think due to the miui overlay.

Not if you have a full brick (Black screen). Only if you are on EDL mode.
So you can really Brick your device, it can be expensive to just install a MIUI A12 with lags & many bugs.
I advise all to wait on A11 for the moment.

Question Mi11, EU or Global ROM? Which is better?

Hi,
Just ordered a Mi11 from China, and I would like to flash it with a global or EU stock firmware.
Would you recommend the Global or the EU one?
I am not a customer rom type really and I would just like to have the phone as close as a stock firmware experience with google services, OTA s and all.. although I understand it will never be perfect since the boot loader needs to stay unlocked.
Is it just a matter of unlocking BL and flash it with a stock firmware found here https://c.mi.com/global/miuidownload/index, am I right?
Thanks

Thanks, yeah I may give Xiaomi.eu a try perhaps after installing the EU or Global stock roms if I am not happy.
Any recommendations between the 2 stock Rom s available?

I personally have tested Xiaomi Eu and MMX, I find MMX in my opinion to be more stable even on weeklies even tho it's based on EU. It also comes pre rooted and if you don't want root just flash the EU boot IMG instead. On MMx you also get widevine l1

Thanks, actually I was not considering any custom rom, when I say EU vs Global I mean the official stock EU rom vs the Global one..
In any casa I don't think there will be much of a difference
When unlocking the BL shall I proceed directly from the MiUnlock tool or start first with the developer option in the settings?
Thanks again
Also, is it worth it to make a backup of the persist partition, just to be on the safe side?

I'm using MMX MIUI 13 latest beta build with some app updated from miui stock apps group and I have the new widgets and phone is very responsive and good battery performance. After I unlocked the bootloader I downloaded the fastboot rom from their site and just flashed every straight forward and easy. Just remeber to format data once you do the initial setup I'm case you have issues with storage permissions. So basically after you flashed go through the setup screen don't set it up just finish a quick set up and go to settings and format again through settings after it's done just setup device like you would normally do.

Thanks, actually I was not considering any custom rom, when I say EU vs Global I mean the official stock EU rom vs the Global one..
In any casa I don't think there will be much of a difference
When unlocking the BL shall I proceed directly from the MiUnlock tool or start first with the developer option in the settings?
Thanks again

So you must said EEA, not EU for don't create understanding problems.
Be careful because you have a Chinese model, so don't relock bootloader (if using MiFlash) because by default MiFlash apply option "Lock & Clean". Each time you'll use MiFlash, be sure to select on the right bottom just "Clean all", never lock with a another ROM model than Chinese. If you lock bootloader with a EEA/Global ROM, you will brick your device.

Many thanks for that, worked perfectly on my mi 11
Got the phone yesterday but the first impression is quite bad.
Poor build quality in my opinion and the battery is laughable.
Had a realme x2pro for more than 2 years and still going very strong, built like a tank.
Anyway, started bootloader unlocking countdown, only 150 hrs left

Question Google play uncertified & next steps

I have purchased a mi 11 Ultra from CEX in the UK and updated as soon as I got home so I am now on 13.04 Global.
When I started to set up the device I noticed I can't add cards to google wallet or use Netflix because it isn't certified. I've checked and the device isnt rooted.
Can anyone help and advise how I resolve this?
I would advise installing the Xiaomi EU rom. That ROM passes certification.

Thanks for the reply, will that be possible without rooting or is that needed first?

No root required. Just need an unlocked bootloader and sounds like yours may already be unlocked. You'll be able to see from Developer options.
