Open Kirin custom ROM - Honor 9 Lite Questions & Answers

Can I direct flash custom ROM from openkirinn without any modification in Honor 9 lite? Or any modification needed?

You cannot flash any custom rom without a custom recovery like twrp.
The stock recovery is only good for wiping cache and factory resetting, useless otherwise.
So u need to install twrp or any other recovery so that means you need to make modifications including unlocking bootloader or rooting.

Unable to update to MIUI 9

Hello guys.
I've just tried to update to MIUI 9.0.1.0 NDDMIEI from MIUI 8.5.9.0 NDDMIED on device Xiaomi Mi Max 2 but it failed.
I have an unlocked bootloader and SuperSu installed, but the recovery is Mi Stock Recovery. :cyclops:
I had directly booted TWRP Recovery without flashing using
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
to flash SuperSu on device. :good:
Need support with this issue. I don't want to flash whole ROM every time I recieve an update.

i successfully flashed to miui v9(V9.0.1.0.NDDMIEI) over miui v8(V8.5.8.0.NDDMIED) without data wipe. all my data were intact
Keep a backup just in case
make sure you downloaded recovery flashable full rom package ~1.38GB (not the 500mb OTA update )
donot wipe data/cache/dalvik
flash via TWRP recovery
just flashing rom wont boot due to dm-verity. (result will be bootloop)
u need to flash super user or magisk (or lazy flasher "ive not tried though" ) which patches boot.img which makes rom bootable

I'll give it a try. Currently I have data wiped and installed full ROM through fastboot method. So next time, for sure I'll give it a shot.
But I have a doubt, where TWRP be able to flash an MIUI ROM. I mean the bootloader unlocked, encrypted system partition and all.
Since you have your device rooted, first install flashify, and backup your stock recovery. Then you can flash twrp recovery and install Miui 9, and root the device again. Last, install flashify again and restore your stock recovery.

Can you give stock recovery from mi max 2? I forgot to back up his original recovery stock and was hit with twrp.

After backing up whatever personal data you want to keep (by your method of choice). You should be able to just do full wipe (default wipe in TWRP - data, cache, and Dalvik); then just flash the full update zip in TWRP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/official-oxygenos-5-0-1-android-8-0-t3728119
If you want to keep TWRP, do not reboot after flashing the update zip. Either flash root (Magisk or SuperSU) of a modified kernel to keep TWRP. Otherwise, TWRP will be replaced with stock recovery.
Things like relocking the bootloader are purely optional, and only if you want "fully stock". Do not have TWRP or any other mods (root, modded kernel, etc.) installed when relocking the bootloader, or else the phone will not boot (and you may need to use the unbrick tool!).
Otherwise, if you think you may do other mods in the future (custom ROM, root, etc.) just leave the bootloader unlocked.
The previously suggested method works fine as well (flashing recovery images with fastboot), although the file versions are pretty old. It somewhat depends on what exact state you want afterwards. "Full stock" versus TWRP for mods.

I can not have TWRP and custom ROM together

I'm struggling with my Xiaomi MI A2 to have a simple root.
I already got this with Magisk, but the problem is that when I try to install XPOSED, it goes into bootloop.
Many post say I have to have TWRP installed to achieve this.
But now I can not get both together: TWRP and custom ROM.
If I install TWRP, it erases the ROM; if I install the ROM, it erases the TWRP.
What should I do?

Help needed! Rebooting to fastboot

Hello friends,
I am not new with locking/unlocking, flashing roms....
I used to install different roms and had different problems but never met something like this.
so the problem is:
I unlocked my phone, installed twrp and tried to flash different roms (OOS, Lineage, Pixel experience) but it is still rebooting to fastboot and Im not able to go back to twrp recovery unless I flash bacl stock rom via miflash and flash twrp again.
I tried different twrps as well, wiped data, factory reset, advanced wipe.. still not able to flash any rom.
any advise?
Thanks in advance :good:

When flashing over stock MIUI you need to format data in TWRP. (Format, not wipe, need to type 'yes' to confirm.
Also, when restoring MIUI, make sure you boot into MIUI once before you flash anything else.
Use the latest 3.3.1-32 TWRP from here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k2...icial-twrp-xiaomi-redmi-t3944363/post79823568
Restore MIUI and boot into it.
Flash TWRP and boot into TWRP
Do a factory reset.
Format data.
Reboot into TWRP - this ensures the formatted data partition is mounted properly.
Flash the ROM, plus any extras.
Boot into system.
Everything should be good.
Maybe its problem with vbmeta, try to flash vbmeta first, but you need to boot to twrp trough adb command, then flash vbmeta, than flash twrp, reboot to twrp and flash vendor, rom if you want to ide custom rom, not Stock

There shouldn't be any need to flash vbmeta.
In theory vbmeta would only be needed if you want to stick with MIUI, but without root, but want to install TWRP, maybe to debloat.
Flashing Magisk or flashing a custom ROM should remove the need to flash vbmeta.
If you're already on the latest MIUI there is no need to flash any vendor files, as they're already installed.
I dont know why, but Yesterday ive tried to flash custom rom, wiped everything and after flash and reboot the phone stucked in fastboot, wont boot to twrp,not with butt shortcut,not with adb command. So i try to flash vbmeta,than IT boots to twrp,and Also i was able to flash again twrp, this could be Also solution.

Losing Recovery after install Custom ROM

Hi,
I have the following problem.
I was able to install the custom ROM properly on my Mi9t pro. Unfortunately my Orangefox Recovery was deleted After the installation.
If I want to install Magisk now, I have to reflash the recovery first.
Do you have any idea why the recovery is deleted? Is there a way to prevent that?
Thanks in advance.

Your (custom) Recovery was really deleted?
Or replaced by stock Recovery
Who says that installation of Magisk requires custom Recovery?
Magisk documentation (Installation Instructions) - please find it on Magisk Github - certainly not.
Patch the boot.img and flash (it can be flashed by Fastboot, hence custom Recovery is not a must to have)
Hi,
it really gets deleted. My cell phone is then only in fastboot mode.
I am not interested in flashing Magisk either, but rather that recovery after an installation is no longer available. This makes installing updates more cumbersome.
I only have the problem when I flash a custom ROM. when I flash a MIUI ROM from xiaomi.eu Beta, the recovery is retained.
