Hi,
I am all new to Xiaomi (so a big noob into this).
I would like to flash the TWRP and to root the phone.
So here are my questions:
1.After that, will my phone received the OTA updates?
2.Or is better to take the rom from the xiaomi.eu and install them?
3.But with this, will I lose all the settings/application from the phone?
Thank you in advance for the answers.
A little up for my question :angel:

If you unlock you receive ota updates, but if you install twrp and magisk root you can't have ota. You should use a patched boot image maybe.
It is better you install xiaomi eu rom, it updates via ota with twrp also installed.
If you pass to xiaomi eu you have to format data, so you lose your apps and settings just first time
Thank you @HTCDevil for the explanation.
So sad that the root can't be kept.
So I will install twrp and the eu rom. With this I have 2 on the 3 things.
The phone is new so no data yet.....
Thank you again.

Yes you are right, but I will need to do this on every update, right?
If I understand correct I will need to do if rooted:
-manual update of the rom
-new root of the new rom
Also, will I lose all the settings after an update of the xiami eu image?

Xiaomi eu has ota update, it flashes rom in twrp and wipe dalvik / cache automatically, so you don't lose data or settings. If you lose magisk you simply reinstall in twrp, related app and settings stay there
Thank you again @HTCDevil for your help.
Now I am ready for working with my MI9.

Now that you installed TWRP or another custom recovery, here is a working GAPPS for Xiaomi Note Pro, this one so far works
perfectly, do not rely on manual install version as they are missing key lib and framework files.

Installed over existing Gapps no problem except while rebooting and updating my phone was that hot I could hardly touch it. Sat it on a cool damp sponge, once it finished it cooled back to normal.

Most important question to ask, i new to xiao mi environment,
Let say i install the developer rom, anytime i can download the stable rom and update over? While installing do i need clean data or the rom?
Do i need like use twrp to backup the stock rom first or something?
need your advice bro, and how about the recovery? as i know use flashify to backup and restore, as stock rom doesnt not have root yet, so cant backup as well.
Thanks if you can give me assurance

You won't get TWRP on without developer rom first as it fails through fastboot. The only method is using Flashify. Best thing is staying with developer rom as it is stable, had no problem at all with it. You will also receive weekly updates. Just don't flash TWRP because the updates will brake it needs to be stock recovery. You can install the developer rom by downloading it onto your phone and installing it using the Updater app on your phone. Once you have activated it the root permissions a bit strange. First what you have to do is open app that required root permissions, close the app then go to Security App>Permissions>Root Access and select the app. Yes you can flash the stock rom back at any time but you will loose root. I'm waiting for Xiaomi to release the Kernel Source, when that happens we will have custom roms such as Cyaongen mod, root methods etc..

So I am currently on CN 2.27 ROM from NA Global, I am wondering how and if I can update to version 2.30 because Boot Unlocked TWRP Magisk GAPPS Debloated. Does TWRP currently work on the update? I assume upon updating I will lose everything back to stock, but I want to be able to get phone back to current state...because well CN Rom is much better but this device is so finicky if you know what I'm saying.

First you have to download 2.27 zip file
Extract it
Flash stock boot and recovery image
And then update to 2.30
After that flash your TWRP and magisk
Just backup ur data with TWRP in case u face any problem
So what exactly do we lose and gain with the CN rom over the EU rom??
Assume CN rom can be set to full English so no Chinese language remains?
Yeah I relocked boot uninstalled Majisk and modules, updated 2.30....then reflashed and installed. Its super smooth and all the game launcher features are great. Totally enjoying this far more than global. Oh and holy crap all the camera features too.

Do you have a copy on the china rom? It's not on the Nubia site anymore.

Yes everything works, it's best to update cleanly then unlock bootloader, twrp flash, and root. Also if you flash gapps Pico in twrp CTS Profile SafetyNet will not pass....don't fret install Magisk Module Safety Patch by hackintosh5 in Magisk phone will reboot and system will Patch optimize on reboot and it will pass. Allowing full access to playstore and downloads.

Listen I have NA Global device, the easiest fail proof way to install CN Rom is in stock recovery, wipe data & cache use otg and FAT32 format pen drive to install...you will have no problems. If you decide to go back to Global do the same thing but with Global Rom on pen drive.

I flashed mi 9t pro rom on my k20 pro. now if i install TWRP and ROOT(Magisk) will I get the OTA?
If yes,
If I flash/install DOLBY or Viper4android or change the Display Refresh rate or any type of System application/modification through TWRP or Magisk , will it stop getting OTA?
and if I get OTA, will those applications or modifications be removed after installing the OTA update?
Thanks
As you already know how to flash things, why would you bother with ota updates?
Ota updates with modified rom is always a surprise. But, definitely you gonna lose some changes if it applies fine...
Thanks for the reply.
I just know how to flash what . but I don't have that much knowledge how things are work. So I am confused all the time. However, I'm not using any modified rom. the rom I've mentioned above is stock fastboot rom. So it would be helpful if anyone gives me the answer.

You won't lose OTA, but OTA will break some things that you've done.
You will need to turn off OTA. Whenever there's an update you want you will need to download the recovery ROM for that version and install it manually in TWRP. You should be OK just wiping cache and dalvik. After installing you will need to immediately install Magisk again in TWRP.
I'm not sure about any mods as I've not used any you mention. I suppose it depends on where they get installed to and if a recovery ROM touches those areas.
Hello, I'm new to the Xiaomi world and I still have trouble understanding some terms ...
I am currently waiting for the necessary 168 hours before I can unlock my bootloader.
I would like to know what are the differences between orangefox and twrp, which one to choose?
What are the differences between global and eu?
I think I'm in global because I'm in 10.3.2.0
If I root my phone will I be able to update without removing everything?
Thank you in advance.

TWRP is very customisable and as such there are many different versions. Orange Fox is just a very heavily customised version of TWRP. It has a number of additional features over vanilla TWRP, some of which are specific to Xiaomi devices. However there are other versions of TWRP that also have been customised with additional features that are Xiaomi specific, it's just that these other versions are still very much recognisable as a version of TWRP as they keep the same UI design.
I don't think anyone is really sure what differences, if any, there are between the global and EU ROMs, at least from a functionality point of view. It might just be ad delivery and data collection differences, due to the EU having stricter laws around data protection and such things.
If you root you won't be able to use OTA. If you do you will lose root. You will need to manually update by installing the latest recovery ROM followed by Magisk again. (I assume that will be your root solution)
Just use either recovery for now. The only difference is the interface imo. F2fs support is still bad in recovery.
Use miui.eu, it's the same but stripped down and without ads.
Sure, as long as it's a compatible update.

I do recommend you backup your Android 9 partitions before flashing. I wiped and installed 10 and cannot go back.
Thank you guys for the infos, I think I'll go with classic TWRP and install the xiaomi.eu rom and then for the root I would reinstall it with each update this is not a problem
Orangefox has the ability to surviving OTA updates if prepared well.

If you go with the xiaomi.eu ROM then Magisk will automatically install itself when you update.

If Magisk is a rooting solution, and if Xiaomi.eu ROM installs Magisk automatically, does it mean If I install Xiaomi.eu ROM, I have no other choice but to root my phone, therefore I won't be able to use OTA updates and will have to update manually each time there is a new ROM ?

No.
Magisk will automatically install itself if you have already installed it.
This is common behaviour for things like Magisk and GApps. If they've been installed on a custom ROM, they will automatically reinstall themselves when you update that ROM.
Xiaomi.eu does not come with Magisk pre-installed.
You are also confusing OTA updating a rooted phone with an official ROM and with a Xiaomi.eu ROM.
Xiaomi.eu is a custom ROM and so updating it is more like other typical custom ROMs.
Hi folks,
What we used as beta ROM is now published as official stable release known as version RMX1991_11.C.12 for Chinese model of Realme X2.
Probably anyone can upgrade the phone now in any possible way.
The bad news is FP stops working as soon as you patch vbmeta for disabling AVB...
The good news is that there's no verification of system partition. You can leave vbmeta untouched and modify whatever you want except boot.

No, Magisk is patching boot, which will require you to disable verification by means of vbmeta. You can try system-based methods like one of SuperSU.

No. At least a few last CN ROM versions are insensitive to recovery replacement. You can keep stock vbmeta and flash custom recovery. But recovery will be replaced when you boot system, i.e. you flash custom recovery for single and immediate use

Backup is a nice thing. I would always insist on creating backup.
I successfully switched onto realmeUI without losing data. As I understand, you have to do it from A.17 (for CN device). My path was A.16 -> C.02, but now many are suggested to upgrade from A.17 straight to C.12.
