Cant return to MIUI from LineageOS

Wipe everything
Install global developer zip file
When reboot, twrp says no OS installed
Help pls

if the recovery method of flashing the full rom fails, then you have no other recourse except to flash via fastboot method.
take note of this "Please wipe all data in Recovery mode if you want to update to a discontinuous ROM version, or downgrade to an older ROM version using MIUI full ROM pack. If you upgrade from MIUI Stable ROM based on Android M to MIUI Developer ROM based on Android N, please flash it via Fastboot update. Recovery update might cause upgrade failure."

Did you just tried rebooting to system after flashing? I also got that error "no OS installed" in TWRP so many times, but rebooting to system with no problems at all.

Unmounted system before flashing ROM .

in my opinion why just not use rom from xioami.eu because you have custom recovery .

The reason is, that you can't flash OFFICIAL Chinese (Developer/Stadle) Rom with cusom recovery (TWRP). But you can flash anything esle. Like Lineage OS. If you want to use MIUI Rom, you have to flast a Xiaomi.eu ( developer or stable) rom. NOT OFFICIIAL CHINESE !!! If you prefer Official Chinese Global rom, you must download a FASTBOOT rom (not recovery) , and flash it in fastboot mode, with MiFlash.

instead of beating around the bush, why not follow the official procedure of flashing an official miui rom
if you are coming from a custom rom, as specified herein?:
http://en.miui.com/a-234.html

When can we expect official RR for mi max 2?
It was already available for redmi note 4 which is having the same processor.

You have to wait for custom Rom until miui release the kernel source which is must have to develop a custom one. please be patience...

If you flash rom with out error, Even no os installed warning, you can boot into system without problem.

EDIT 1
Procedure that worked for me
So I've managed to install it and as expected, I had to format and delete everything on my internal memory. Here is the procedure I've followed and I'm 100% sure it'll work for others too.
Stuff I did before flashing:
1. Took a complete backup of internal memory.
2. Downloaded ROM + Recovery ( I use Holy Dragon custom twrp) + magisk 18.1 zip to an external OTG drive
My Configuration before flashing:
OOS 5.0.8, Unlocked BL, Magisk and root, Custom Kernel, Custom HolyDragon recovery
Procedure I followed:
1. Boot to recovery.
2. Wipe System, Dalvik, Cache
3. "Format Internal Memory". Please note, I formatted internal memory, not just wiped. This will remove encryption for once which will help the rom boot. It won't boot on encrypted partition with unlocked bootloader on first start up.
4. Flashed ROM zip.
5. Flashed twrp image.
6. Pressed power button for as long as possible until it rebooted again.
7. Pressed volume button before it could reboot so that i can select recovery. This step is important. If you won't do it, your recovery will be replaced with stock one.
8. Flash magisk zip. 18.1
9. Reboot system. It will take 10-15 minutes as it will reencrpt the storage.
10. Profit! Enjoy your new official oos pie on OP3/T.
Some things to note:
1. On first boot, it WILL NEED either mobile data or wifi. It downloaded some update and then installed and proceeded.
2. It will ask for your previous pattern. It didn't work for me so i simply login with my previous Gmail account on 5.0.8 and login successfully.
3. You will need to install magisk manager on first boot. It will show magisk not installed. Don't panic. Simply reboot your device once and it will appear in magisk on second reboot.
EDIT 2:

I am currently at work. I will flash it once I am home. but make sure you take complete backup of your internal memory. It will mess up your internal data partition if you have unlocked bootloader. Don't take an unnecessary risk with your data.

Seems like there is no other way than to format internal memory once. I'm on stock 5.0.8 rooted and UL BL

Where I found a download link from stock recovery.
On the OnePlus page I don't found it.
After flash stock recovery I must locked bootloader

On the 3T build I can't get it to install magisk for God's sake. The system partition is full and it seems it installs magisk fine, but when I boot up it says it isn't installed.... Tried different versions from 17.2 to 19

I can't say for sure. I have never tested CB. But this is the latest we have and it could have some under the hood fixes. I would recommend flashing this over CB

I need some help. I was on the latest Lineage OS version, got into recovery and formatted my data. Then I flashed the OOS Pie version. Got stuck on the OOS boot animation. Then I tried flashing the last OOS Beta and the last Official OOS but both are stuck on the same OOS boot animation. I also tried locking my bootloader and then starting again but didnt work out either...

You should be stuck on the booatanimation for at least 10-15 minutes. It's re-encrypting your /data partition.

[Guide] [SM-T350] Root and Update Galaxy Tab A 8.0 to ANDROID PIE

I am not responsible for bricked devices, or any other hardware malfunctions that come as a result of flashing anything. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it
Hey everyone,
I am writing this guide because I spend all day trying to figure out how to upgrade my grandma's tablet from android 7 TouchWiz to android 9 pie. I did not create any of the files that I am about to link just putting all the info in one place because I feel it's needed.
Before starting my grandam's tablet was running android 7.0 TouchWiz. So if you are in the same situation do the following.
Download the following
Odin3-v3-10-7
SM-T350 Marshmallow Firmware (check second post for faster mirror)
TWRP-3.2.1
PIE ROM of Choice
Open Gapps (Remember Platform: ARM | Android Version : 9.0| Variants: Your Choice)
Root (Optional): Magisk
Instructions
1. Put your tablet in download mode by turning it off then pressing and hold [Power] [Vol-Down] & [Home] at the same time till a cyan warning screen appear.
2. Press Volume Up to Continue.
3. Connect the Tablet to the computer via USB stick
4. Extract the Odin and Marshmallow Firmware zip files and place it on the desktop
5. Run Odin and make sure you can see your device
6. Click on [AP] button and find the marshmallow firmware. Let Odin verify the file (take a second) then click start to begin the flashing process
7. After flashing the firmware the tablet will reboot and just wait for the welcome screen.
8. In the welcome screen skip everything till you get to the home screen then turn the tablet off and put it back into download mode (see step 1)
9. Now your tablet should still be connected to the computer and Odin should still be open.
10. In Odin go to the second tab (OPTIONS) and uncheck Auto Reboot (VERY IMPORTANT)
11. Now click on the [AP] button and find the TWRP zip file then click start to flash it
12. After the flashing process has been successful press and hold [Power] [Vol-Down] & [Home] to reboot. AS SOON AS THE SCREEN GOES BLACK LET GO OFF THE BUTTONS AND PRESS AND HOLD [POWER] [VOL-UP] and [ HOME] AT THE SAME TIME.
13. If you did it right you should be in TWRP. If not you have to repeat step 11 and 12
14. Make a NANBACKUP in TWRP and copy it to your computer
15. After that copy the PIE ROM and GAPP of your choice. (MAGISK IF YOU WANT ROOT) to the internal memory card or sd card whichever you have. I don't have an SD card so I copied it to the internal memory
16. In TWRP Wipe the System, Cache, Data and ART/Dalvik cache. (Recommended)
17. Flash the ROM, GAPPS
18. Flash the root solution of your choice (optional).
19. Reboot your device.
Thanks to @lividhen99 for the post that I got all this info
Thanks to everyone who creates and ported recoveries and ROM to this device. My grandma appreciated it ( we both hate TouchWiz)
PS. I will eventually come back and make a mirror of the marshmallow firmware file because it is so long and slow. If anyone wants to beat me to it please do

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1WyafpwMlGbBmocWhwhHxcrtgS0mFpoes
Heres a google drive mirror.

Is there a 64 bit version of Android Pie for the SM-T350? After following these instructions I couldn't install the 64 bit version of GApps, said it was not compatible. Is that a holdover from the Marshmallow firmware? The SM-T350 supposedly has an ARM 64bit processor so you'd think it could take the 64 bit GApps install but after these updates it shows that it'e the 32 bit version of Pie. I know I'm kind of rambling here but I guess you can follow what I'm trying to do. Thanks!

is this compatible with the sm-p355?

Is it necessary to do this from Marshmallow 6? Will this procedure work for Nougat 7.1.1?

It should technically work, but if you get a black screen, downgrade to marshmallow and try again. Not all devices need to be downgraded, and nobody knows why

Great, thanks for the info! This sounds like a, great summer project while we are all locked in quarantine.

This is a thread on how to install roms on this device, it provides no roms besides the marshmallow one to fix the black screen issue.

Trying to get this to work, everything is fine until I try to load the new ROM and GAps, it's giving me error 7, specifically this:
- Confirming target device...
mount: Failed to mount /dev/block/by-name/vendor at /vendor: No such
file or directory
ui_print(): Failed to parse the argument(s)

What partitions did you wipe?

I might be a little late posting here but I am currently trying this with the SM-T350 that came with 7.1.1 and for some reason when I load the Marshmallow firmware to my tablet it never actually boots, it gets as far as flashing the Samsung logo on a black background then says Touchwiz.exe has encountered an error. Am I doing something wrong? I am following the instructions word for word as far as I can tell.

The marshmallow firmware never has to boot. If you want it to boot, factory reset (wipe data and dalvik cache). But you wipe system data and cache anyway when you install a rom.

Basically I just want to use TWRP to flash Magisk and use it to spoof for Pokemon Go. I did it previously on a Galaxy S5 but I never had a problem booting into the OS and just turning the phone off when I wanted to boot into recovery mode (TWRP) so I don't really know what I am doing but I am assuming I need it to boot normally for magisk to root the device. Unfortantely when I try to flash TWRP with the 7.1.1 firmware that comes stock on the device recovery just boots to a black screen so searching around has led me to the conclusion I need to downgrade to Marshmallow then try flashing TWRP but I never expected it to not boot normally xD Sorry this is a bit outside of my technical knowledge to say the least.

I believe I understand what I need to do now. I managed to load into TWRP so at that point I can just flash any rom and use magisk to root. Any particular one you might suggest? Thanks for all the help by the way!

OH! Well, now that you have that specific version of twrp booted, I would recomend either lineage os or crdroid for the SM-T350. If you just want stock Samsung, you can reflash the stock 7.1.1 firmware and grab the Nougat twrp for the sm-T355 from ashyx's galaxy tab a twrp page here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/development/recovery-t3426560 . It will boot on Nougat (7.1.1) but it cannot flash android pie (9.0) or Q (10.0) roms. It can still flash magisk though.
Crdroid (I released a newer build on the second to last page ?): https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/development/rom-galaxy-tab-8-0-t3912517/page32
Lineage: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/development/rom-t3903258/page31
If you do end up flashing a custom rom, just wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik cache. Then flash the ROM zip, the gapps zip, and the magisk tnstaller zip. Just remember to enable magisk hide to pass safetynet whether you go custom rom, or not.
If you want the marshmallow firmware to boot, I think just wipe cache and dalvik cache. If that doesn't work, wipe data.
Wiping data will delete all your apps and settings and passwords, etc. It is essentially a factoy reset.

the device isnt capable of running ARM64 however you can find regular ARM variants of lineageOS (what i used instead of flashing the stock firmware) and of gapps. my galaxy tab a (sm-t350) now runs android 10 and gapps 10.0 full, through this guide. just ignore the first software package and continue with the guide.

help! flashed from stock firmware (i don't remember version)...after a lot of time, is in the wizard section with a lot of error (unfortunately the process xxx has stopped), and the tablet reboot...what should i do?

Complete setup of Lineage OS

Since in my last post I made a complete mess out of my first time trying to root my K20 and install lineage I wanted to my make a separate post so that I can list all the steps I need to take to correctly setup my phone how I want it.
What I actually want
A rooted device
Lineage OS
Minimal excess files (A clean Install)
Current Steps
Unlock and flash recovery
Backup
Format Data! (It's important if you come from Miui)
Install Q Firmware + vendor
Install LineageOS followed by gapps
Reboot into system and setup device.
Reboot into recovery and flash magisk
Profit???
Feel free to tell me how stupid I am and what I need to add to the list or steps I should take to make this process better.
I also dont know if its possible to get recovery and rom on android 10 versions.
Thanks

Did these steps not work?

They may work as it but I was just wondering if anyone could go into more detail or if there was a better approach and from what Kollachi said there clearly is a better way that what I said.

Since I'm in stock ROM and haven't ever flashed AOSP ROM in this phone I'll just back off lol

I like the details steps but I have a few questions.
(Unlock and flash recovery) From what I can tell there are two recovery's Orange fox and TWRP
(Format data) Just format data or are there other sections I should format/wipe
(Install Q Firmware + Vendor) I have no idea what Q firmware is or what vendor you are referring to
(Install Lineage + gapps) Is there a specific version from the Mi 9T pro since the official site doesn't list it

Any of the two recoveries will work. Q firmware means Android Q. Wile data/cache dalvik that's it. Regarding firmware, there's a clear topic of Lineage OS in K20 Pro forum which is still in unofficially state

(Install Q Firmware + Vendor) I have no idea what Q firmware is or what vendor you are referring to
(Install Lineage + gapps) Is there a specific version from the Mi 9T pro since the official site doesn't list it

1. You can take what you want. Orangefox is based on TWRP.
2. Format data is needed if you come from miui. If you did it you are good to go. But it wouldn't be false to wipe system, dalvic, cache
3.https://downloads.akhilnarang.me/MIUI/raphael/ --> Take 10.4.6.0 or 10.4.8.0 (Android 10 = Q)
4. No there is no specific version.

I would recommend the latest TWRP from here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k2...icial-twrp-xiaomi-redmi-t3944363/post79823568
The dev is an official TWRP dev, so this version, or something very close to this, is likely to become official in the future.
OrangeFox is a heavily modified TWRP and has a lot of added functionality specific to MIUI. If you wanted to stay on stock MIUI, but debloat and have root, etc. then OF would be the better choice, as it has functionality that lets it play nicely with MIUI (it can remain installed when OTA updates are installed)
As someone new to flashing on Android, I would suggest downloading a 10.4.x fastboot ROM from the site I pointed to in your other post, then follow the same procedure to flash the ROM.
Make your choice based on Kollachi's info and what's important to you (HD Netflix - choose Indian, or a working NFC - choose Chinese)
However you MUST change the flash option to 'clean all'.
At this point you've got a nice squeaky clean starting point.
Boot into the ROM at least once, though it's not necessary to go through all the setup.
After that follow Kollachi's steps but you can now ignore the step to flash vendor and firmware as it's all part of the fastboot ROM already flashed.
Wipe cache and dalvik, format data.
There is no official LOS for this phone yet. Hopefully it will go official in the future.
For now just get the current Android 10 based LOS from here.

When ever I think I have the process memories and I follow the steps on my screen I still somehow **** this up and I cant understand how.
My current steps include
Flash the fastboot with the ROM that you linked me in my first post
Flash the recovery with TWRP (Every time I have then tried going back into TWRP is failed to work and prompted the original MIUI recovery)
Install the TWRP zip from custom recovery to try and fix the issue above (Only had this work once on orangefox and then never had success again)
So now I try to just flash the recovery and boot to it using CMD and it works fine
Move the lineageOS files from my PC to the phone SDCard
If I wipe data and the caches as suggested then the lineageOS zip is now go and I am back to flashing the fastboot ROM to restart the process
I know this might seem like im either stupid or just not getting it but could you or anyone else please make a bullet pointed list with links to what I have to download in order to actually achieve this since I cant do anything correctly even when trying to follow the steps.
(Im going to sleep since I have been trying to do this for hours now and I will check reply's in the morning.
Thanks for the help so far EVERYONE

I just told you what I have done and I'm running it so far without issues.
Robbo just said you should flash the whole Chinese or indian rom but I don't like his steps because:
1. File is much bigger
2. MiFlash is just meh
3. If you forgot to change the flash process you are bricked if you don't take the correct firmware for your phone.
Default option in Miflash is set to "Clean all and lock". Every time you use it, you will need to change it into "clean all" or something other.

Yes flashing the whole fastboot ROM does add the risk, if you forget to change the flash option, but you are guaranteed a clean slate and so less likely to have any niggling issues that nobody else has. I would bet large sums of money that many of the issues you see on here, where only one person has some problem and everyone else is fine, would be solved by fastboot flashing MIUI before installing the ROM of choice.
If you know what you're doing and know when you'll be OK with what you've got and know when it's best to start clean, then going with the vendor and firmware is easier.
But if your unsure and new to flashing on Android phones, I will always suggest go with the overkill and know you've got the clean slate to start with.

It's sounds like the main issue is stock recovery is being restored. This is something that MIUI will do when it boots up.
When you first install TWRP you cannot boot into MIUI before booting to TWRP as you instantly lose TWRP. So you need to boot into TWRP first in order to do something to prevent it being overwritten.
Options are
1
Code:
fastboot boot TWRP.img
2 Use the button combo whilst still in fastboot - power and vol+, hold both until the phone vibrates and the initial logo appears.
Now to keep TWRP you need to either flash a custom ROM, flash Magisk or flash the dm-verity script.
In your case you want to flash LOS, so now you've booted into TWRP go ahead and continue with the steps given.
Also, wait until after you've formatted data before copying everything over. You can access the phone as an MTP device when in TWRP, so you'll be able to connect it to a PC and drag everything across, or you can stick everything on a USB OTG pen, if you have one, TWRP can read data from them too.

The exact problem I have is that I cant transfer any files to the device after formatting the data. I follow the steps correctly and I get into TWRP successfully and then everyone has told me to format the data then install lineage but I cant install the OS if formatting the data removes it.
Get device into fastboot
Flash revocery with TWRP
power the device off
hold volume up and power
boot into custom recovery
format data
move lineageOS onto my device
install lineageOS
reboot
done.
This is the list of exact actions I am doing with no results is there something I am missing or something that is in the wrong order.

You connect your phone to computer while in recovery to transfer the OS zip

After format data, reboot your device into recovery again and transfer LOS, gapps and all files you need.
Format data kills the storage.

I always used to reboot from TWRP back in to TWRP after formatting data, but I've recently seen someone saying that they just unmount data then remount it again. I haven't tried it myself but it certainly makes sense and would be quicker too.

Yes I did that and it worked, unmounting and remounting helps detect the storage in PC

Question Redmi note 10 pro (sweet) Pixel Experience Android 12 stable

I'm new to this, after installing pixel experience, when I try to reboot to recovery I get back on miui recovery. Is that supposed to happen?

Try rebooting to custom recovery after installing it and before flashing ROM.

I actually did the same. TWRP booted for first time, and it ended up wiping my os with it! Flashed OrangeFox, Seems it did stayed without wiping my storage and data. Though I am still facing encryption issue.

just instaled PE+ and it tells me y have no play protect certification, how can i fix it?
