Hello guys,
My mi5 is Miui 7.5 and I did download full rom Miui 8.1.2.0 via updater app.
I wanna delete one or two system apps that I don't want on the phone.
Can I remove some system apps from the full rom 8.1.2.0?
I did try edit system.img from fastboot rom. Unpack it, deleted apps and repack. But Miflash didnt allow that.
So maybe recovery rom can help me.
Any advice? Regards...
You have to have root to do that. I think you can not manipulate the official roms like that because they are signed. Install what ever official you like and then with root remove them. (which means you need to have unlocked bootloader)

i'm little bit confused about unlocking the bootloader on an mi5 device. I read somewhere that it's not needed if you use the updater app on the phone. i think this is only true for official rom's which came from en.miui.com it self?
can i use the updater app if i want to install the official en.miui.com 8 global rom without unlocking the bootloader?
if i want to install an xiaomi.eu rom, i will have to unlock the bootloader first?
does root on an official rom need an unlocked bootloader too?
there are more then one way to flash an rom on an mi5 device, updater app, fastboot and miflash tool, twrp(which is not preinstalled i mean?). but i read something about an edl mode, but cant find out what this does mean? is this maybe the fastboot and miflash tool mode?
many thanks!
best regards

Hello there,
what ROM are you running currently? Broadly speaking, you have 2 tools to change the ROM on Your device: the updater app and Fastboot (miflash uses fastboot too, and twrp requires fastboot to be installed). The updater app allows you only to upgrade your current ROM to the newest version. Fastboot (and the related tools) allow you to change ROM completely (e.g. switching from China Stable to China Dev or from China Stable to Global Stable or from China Stable to miui.eu Stable), and will also allow you to root your device through TWRP. To use fastboot, however, you will need to unlock Your bootloader.
Regarding EDL mode, it is the Miui stock recovery mode, which can be used together with the Xiaomi desktop application to flash new ROMs. It is not a widely used method, because the desktop app is quite buggy.
hello
many thanks for your replay.. i'm currently on miui 8, the global alpha version, so i already do an flash.. your answer is toop, again thanks for that!! but there are some new questions, edl is the miui stock recovery mode, does this mean the recovery as i know it already in a form from recovery.img? if i also want root i will have to flash twrp, this would then mean that the miui stock recovery (edl) wouldn't work anymore? so if i want to go back to an official global rom, do i need to flash the stock miui recovery first? the way to do that would be through fastboot? where can i get the stock miui recovery?
have an nice day!
So finally there's MIUI 11 officially announced in China. XDA recently provided the links to download recovery ROM based on MIUI 11 for certain devices here- https://www.xda-developers.com/download-miui-11-beta-now-for-13-xiaomi-devices-changelog/amp/
These ZIPs are chinese beta builds and my question as a xiaomi.eu 's ROM user is-
HOW CAN I FLASH A CHINESE BETA ROM USING TWRP WHILE CURRENTLY I'M USING XIAOMI.EU ROM?
Thanks in advance ;p
u don't. I tried them. they have anti-rollback feature. u will be stuck in them. u won't be able to flash twrp. fastboot will reject everything saying anti rollback hszghsjcklsj........ like something. I tried. my phone got bricked. but somehow fastboot was on and I unlocked bootloader then in edl mode flashed stock ROM. I must say that I was not able to access even recovery.
in short, the way to go back to using custom ROMs/recoveries are destructive and could brick ur device and u may not be able to recover it anytime soon.
So, I risked my phone and tried (that was the only option I had). Here's how to flash Chinese beta (or official MIUI) when your Xiaomi device is running unofficial MIUI like xiaomi.eu's MIUI or even a custom ROM-
Again HOW TO FLASH OFFICIAL MIUI CHINESE/GLOBAL ON A XIAOMI DEVICE THAT IS CURRENTLY ON A CUSTOM ROM
DISCLAIMER: THE BELOW MENTIONED METHOD IS WHAT WORKED IN MY CASE, I thought to help if someone needs help in this case because I didn't get any
Step 1. Make a backup of your data and wipe every partition (except Internal storage, USB OTG & SD card)
Step 2. Since MIUI has anti-rollback, you've gotta flash the recovery ROM with a lazyflasher like tool. (Lazyflasher didn't work at all in my case. So use Dm-verity disabler, Force encryption by @Zackptg5).
Note: You don't need this tool while flashing xiaomi.eu ROM or custom ROM. YOU DON'T!
Step 3. As mentioned above flash both zips and reboot to system.
Hi,
since many days I have a new Mi8.
The device is a chineese model, and because it was delivered with unlocked bootloader and a shop ROM, i want to use the latest Xiaomi.eu stable rom.
After flashing the TWRP, i cleared all (System, Data, Cache, internal storage) and installes the latest xiaomi.eu ROM.
Unfortunately the ROM was notstartet. Later i readed, that the xiaomi.eu ROM needs the system partition, so i tried to install some different ROMs.
All tested roms failed to install (device missmatch), so i tried to use different recoveries and at least i updated the vendor Image to MI8Global_V10.3.5.0.PEAMIXM.
After this, some Roms are able to install, mut the ROMs wont boot.
After a clean install of the xiomi global fastboot image, the phone is running, but i still have problems to install custom ROMs or the stable Xiaomi.eu ROM.
The fastboot ROM installation with mi flash tools ends with an error (Not catch checkpoint (\fastboot -s .*lock) Flash is not done (I choosed the option clean all, not the lock function)
cDroid Rom is working, but with this ROM i cant use google pay.
cDroid with update to xiaomi.eu weekly is also working, but also without google pay.
Xiaomi.eu stable - bootloops
Do you have any ideas why i cant use all ROMs?
Should i choose a chineesevendor image or something else?
I also heared, that it could be, that the device bricks, when i try to re-lock the bootloader, is this an option?
Which ROM should work fith functional google pay ?
Thanks in advance
The problem seems to be solved,
i have to flash "Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt" after the flashing of every ROM, then I have no bootloops / boot Problems.
Now i only have the problem with google pay...
I couldn't also get Miui Eu bootable on my mi8 last time. I didn't realize what you had mentioned Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt. But I could manage to get MiRoom Miui workable and it seems ok for now.

DM verity zip removes the 'DM Verity' check that looks for modifications to the boot partitions (D-device M-mapper). You cannot boot with modifications (like root) without disabling the verity check. Also, if you are on a stock ROM, your custom recovery image file will be overwritten with stock upon reboot if you don't disable DM Verity. Hope this helps you understand more.
Found it on this topic.
I´m still looking for a ROM with google pay support, but iu think with unlocked bootloader and without root therre is no chance...

Thanks, i flashed all (system and vbmeta), i lost my data. Is it possible to recover my data ?
Is there an application that can that ?
Help, i done several things now my redmi9 always boot into te Main Menu Redmi-Recovery 3.0
Before you install roms be sure that you backup all your data so that you can recover your files.
i dont want to make it complicated if i am having a problem if i am doing like what youve done to your device.
GSI:
1. if you install any gsi rom to your device. backup always recommended. why? because you need to clear all the data and cache while installing these roms.
2. do not forget to flash vbmeta when installing gsi roms. you will face bootloop if you forgot.
ADB or uninstalling application in miui
1. do not remove security center, find my device or any related to power.
2. in china miui 12 do not remove getapps, mihome, security and find my device.
i will suggest to use mi flash tool and install stock rom to fix all your problem.
note:
when you are flashing gsi you need to go fastbootd.
when you are flashing stock rom using miflashtool just go in fastboot then do not forget to mark the clean all before flashing.
hope it will help you.

When i want ti do an update, how i do ? I will automaticaly lose my data when i flash GSI for doing update?
do backup and update it to your rom.
I'm planning to go from stock 13.0.2 A12 to Xiaomi EU 13.0.10 A11. Based on what I read, this is what I have to do:
- Unlock bootloader (which will factory reset the phone).
- Start fastboot mode.
- Connect to PC.
- Download the ROM (Recovery for RN11, since it's downgrade I'll have to factory reset but it'll already be done during bootloader unlock)
- Run first_time_installation.bat (or something like that).
Are these steps correct? This will be the first time I flash a ROM and I really don't want to mess it up. Thanks in advance!
The first step is correct, you must unlock the booloader. However, you can't install Xiaomi.eu ROM on fastboot mode, that's only for stock ROMs. If you try to do that using a custom ROM, it could brick your phone. For Xiaomi.eu (or any other custom ROM) you need to install first a custom recovery like TWRP: first downlaod the custom recovery file, then copy it into the storage and then install it. You can do the last 2 things with CMD commands . Then copy the custom ROM file like any other file into the phone's storage, restart the phone on recovery mode and install the ROM from the TWRP interface. I did it like a month ago, I don't remember all the details though. Just look for a tutorial, it's not that hard.
Good luck.

Haha thanks for your reply! This came a bit late, it has been exactly a month since I flashed but I hope this could help someone else. Spes/spesn is listed as recovery on the list but the Android 11 versions only come in Fastboot. When I unlocked bootloader, I had already prepared Pixel Experience and Xiaomi.eu ROM. PE's recovery gave me bootloop so I used the next thing available and flashed Xiaomi.eu .bat file.
I was a bit worried when it was stuck on the same screen for 15 minutes but then it loaded with no problem. Not really sure if I did the right thing or I was just lucky
