What Can i need to do?

No bootloop?
Or maybe use miflash?
What is the good method.
Do i need to use dm-verity for twrp and to doesn't brick phone or bootloop?
Twrp will be loose?
Sorry again, And thanks for all replies.

download the global beta miui 10 8.8.21. it's a zip file, here in xda
if it's a zip file always use TWRP.
if it's tgz file - use Fastboot ( Mi Flash tool)
make sure you are in latest twrp version and flash Force-encryption/DM-Verity after flashing rom.
don't ever try to lock bootloader and be careful when using mi flash tool it has option to lock so don't use it this option.

Thanks. And when i need to do wipe cache and wipe dalvik?
Cache before flashing rom?
Dalvik After dm-verity or After rom flash?

Can I just flash official stable .zip on aosp rom?

Hello!
I want to go back to MIUI on my Santoni (Redmi 4X). Currently I have AospExtended ROM and TWRP recovery. Can I just flash official stable .zip from Xiaomi website through TWRP? (miui_HM4XGlobal_V9.2.5.0.NAMMIEK_c6f74c37a1_7.1.zip)
Also AFAIR my phone was originally on Chinese/English software, so this Chinese/Global ROMs are universal or not?
Many thanks in advance!
Yes You can flash MIUI ROM via Recovery method.
Wipe data+dalvik+cache+system
Flash Your ROM Zip
Flash Lazy flasher(needed if flashing MIUI ROM)
Clear dalvik & cache again
Reboot to system
Wait for 5min Atleast at MiLOGO

Just flash as usual.
- Wipe data, cache, system (dont forget to backup your important files)
- Flash MIUI
- Flash lazy flasher (optional)
Keep in mind
If you flash global beta version, it will replace your TWRP, you need to flash your recovery by fastboot whith pc.
China version, cannot replace your TWRP.
Hi,
with the xiaomi.eu rom, you won't loose your recovery. Just follow instructions told by @MattHdH :
- Wipe data, cache, system (dont forget to backup your important files)
- Flash MIUI
Reboot.
Done !

Hi ! Nobody can help me ? Or if they had a link for root global Rom Miui 10 Pie ?
They had a tuto for mi 8 light bit nothing for mi 8
Can I unlock with a old Mi Account without waiting 2 weeks?
Relax, take your time and google everything you need, digest it first before you rush into doing something that you're not ready for.
By the time you become well informed yourself in two weeks time, then your phone will be ready to unlock.
Perfect timing.

Hi ! Yes I do it Yesterday Thank you.
Just download miunlock tool. And Twrp 3.2.3.120 .
But When I flash it on fastboot and reboot to Twrp what I do ? Factory reset and format data ?
And after ? Flash global stable Pie Rom and remove encryption dm verity and magisk directly or do reboot to recovery before ?

Hi ! I want to root the global Rom I use. Global V12.1.2.0. I have send for unlock it. Just do unlock now.
For root it do flash Twrp but After don't know ?
Rommco05 said:
If u interested in root, I suggest to you go to Global beta or some custom ROM based on MIUI, that just advice. Yes u need TWRP is way also without but this more practice. Flash TWRP which is posted here in Dev section this way:
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
fastboot boot nameofrecovery.img
in TWRP flash avian nameofrecovery.img to recovery partition
Meantime download Magisk, latest is 18 and is good, put them to internal storage and flash... "abrakadara" and u are rooted

Click to collapse
Ok thank you very much.
Just flash magisk on beta rom no need to wipe or format. And no flash remove encryption too.
Just flash Twrp on fastboot and flash again Twrp on Twrp and flash magisk and reboot.
Great thanks. Have a good day.
Ps : I think flash dev global but factory reset before flash twrp and magisk because I had mistake after change local and use theme.
Rommco05 said:
No need to wipe/format anything. When u will install beta (over updater app) factory reset will be automatically
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ok thank you I had install the beta with updater App but I do to configure it on boot and install App (use mi restore) for reply to you.
I'm on beta now just flash twrp now.
I don't factory reset it just flash magisk 18 on Twrp ?
But just a presision when reboot on Twrp just reflash Twrp img (install/image/recovery) because don't understand on recovery partition ? It's because treble my last phone are an oneplus 3 and no have treble partition and more easy to flash.
And every weeks they had an update of Dev Global Rom how do update it ? Flash the full Rom on Twrp and magisk to or can update it with updater App ?
Thanks have a good day.
Rommco05 said:
Yes that's right. Updates need be flashed in TWRP full version. Or have look into Pitch black recovery but still isn't tested

Ok ! Thanks.
But I think flash Xiaomi.eu rom based on china rom. The stable Rom.eu stable.
But nobody response me on forum .eu.
I'm on global stable if I flash the Xiaomi.eu Rom it's chinese Rom and different it's right ? I do Factory reset for flash it ?
What the difference of the Twrp on dev section and twrp dipper on Xiaomi.eu ? I do use the Twrp dipper for flash this custom and do flash again Twrp on Twrp too.
I have change because the global rom for me is less good than chinese ! I had a mistake with notifications push youtube never had notifs ? But receive on YouTube but never on mi 8. I had remove all battery energized on system ! Check all notifications system and on App but never receive notifications.
Thanks have a good day

MiRoom is better than Xiaomi.eu. Before installing custom Miui Roms must format data. TWRP form Dev section is good

Ok thank you but MIRooms are not multi french langage and in French lot of people use Xiaomi.eu and for help is more good for me.
Ok do format data but if format data I loose encryption and don't do to flash the zip for remove it.
It's really a guys said me is better to buy a chinese version of mi 8 it's true... I have this global but no more people use it ! many people use chinese version of mi 8.
The chinese version of mi 8 are not encypted ? Thank you
Rommco05 said:
No that's isn't true, is much better owning Global version. Chines phones are also encrypted by default. So flash xiaomi.eu is up to your choice
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ok thank you I make the good choice.
But why if global version are better all guys use custom rom based on china version ?
I don't know if they had but I would like a custom rom based on global rom but with more option than can make 5x5 on mi launcher because with theme it crash and don't stay every day or can use different song fir App like Twitter on my oneplus use the ios Twitter song and know if is a tweat and for Google message can't have the message song work only for mi message etc etc..
For flash Xiaomi.eu you said format data but you know on Twrp chose wipe and format and data and type yes ? Or wipe data partition ? Because if format it loose encryption and when boot to rom no have mistake with DM verity ? Thanks.

Just install the room and start it to finish the installation.
Then go to fastboot and install twrp with the commands that Rommco05 already said.

And then install magisk with twrp, its easyer with an otg pendrive to avoid posible data encription.

Hi ! Thanks for support. It's different than oneplus.
I'm on Dev Rom Global and stay for unlock the BL.
When I can unlock it I reinstall The Dev Global Rom or new update (every weeks) but wipe data on stock recovery (clean install) just start it as a new phone.
"I have a usb type-c otg " and then make that flash Twrp....& Magisk..
Thank you. Have a good day.

How to keep phone data encrypted?

I have a K20 pro, with a pre-installed China MIUI 10 ROM.
Following is what I did to flash MIUI 11 EU from what I remembered:
1. Boot to TWRP recovery.
2. Wipe System, Data, Dalvik, Cache
3. Flash MIUI 11 EU Rom
4. Flash no-dm-verity-force-encrypt
Without flashing dm-verity with the 'disable encryption' parameter, my phone would stuck at the boot logo. But after flashing it would make the phone data decrypted, which is invalid to enable in system settings.
What should I do in order to enable encryption in MIUI 11 EU ROM? Thank you!

Fastboot flash MIUI EU
Done
Unless you are taking about Xiaomi.eu ROMs.
In that case you should format data, instead of wiping data when installing it.

Yes, I am talking about xiaomi.eu ROMS. I was not aware of the special installation method, I treated it as a normal custom rom by wiping system, data, dalvik, cache. If I want to re-install xiaomi.eu ROMS again with default encrypted phone data, should I format data and flash it again?
