I'm not quite familiar with how open betas work. Are they invite-only? Do we have to do something to get it? or will it be available via OTA and it's up to us to download it? Or do we just flash it?
Can somebody clarify? Thank you

Beta are always invite only. You had to fill the form to be able to receive it over the air. Never the less, if you have an unlocked bootloader, you can just download that build and flash it through TWRP. The latest build has been floating on the internet since its release.

If you’re already running stock China MIUI, you could just dirty flash it. Wiping Data doesn’t wipe your Internal Storage. Backup beforehand incase something goes wrong.

So the only steps I need to do is just backup everything, then flash the rom and wipe data, cache/dalvik?

Just copy your important stuff from Internal storage to PC. Flash the MIUI beta followed by a Cache, Dalvik wipe. Reboot. If you rather want it clean, go back to stock recovery after first MIUI 11 boot and wipe data. That should suffice for a clean restore.
PS: Stock Recovery would overwrite your custom TWRP on boot so incase you need that, you’ll have to flash it again.

We will be flashing zips here soon, so I created this. Run this before you install your ROM. It will wipe everything, so backup all your stuff. Good to stay out of boot loops
Worked on my phone so let me know how it works on yours!
Matt did point something out at this time it only wipes cache, dalvik cache, and system.

Cache, dalkvik cache, and sytem wipe.

Clean Install,
Flash all, Boot, System and Userdata + GApps just like fresh install.
If you were on 5.0.4 or above you could have done only flashed Boot and System.

If you read all the notes you will see that from 5.0.4 he is using a new set of GApps, which means you have to flash all if you were below 5.0.4.

factoey reset doesnt touch your storage. it deletes all your installwd apps and data from the rom, thats all. if you want to wipe your storage, you can do that as well, but whats the point if all you are doing is flashing roms? plus, google backs up your settings data and wallpaper.

My device is Google NEXUS6 ,can use the CM12, mokee, chroma，but use Blisspop，My device Infinite loop or crash in the second screen.
Tried many times to recover the official ROM,but still the same.
Very, very fond of blisspop ROM,I hope you can help me，Thank you !
Which gapps are you using? Have you tried flashing just bliss pop, boot into ROM, then go back into recovery and flash gapps?

As mainland China can not use Google, so I did not flash gapps.
My steps are:
1. Restore official factory firmware (5.0 or 5.1)
2. NRT 2.4 Get ROOT
3. Obtain REC
4.flash Blisspop Rom
5.wipe data / factory reset, wipe cache partition
why continue using blisspop ?? just use a different rom.. a lot of roms is out there
Your bootloader is unlocked right?

Currently only see Blisspop Rom has Floating window function

Next time you flash the ROM, wipe dalvik, and cache before you reboot the device into the system and see if that helps

Sorry didn't read the part where you said you got a "No OS installed" message, so you were already able to completely remove cm.
It sounds more like you're using the wrong zip or something, maybe try redownloading the zip ?

That's what happens when you wipe system. The issue seems to be that he does not know how to get the ROM zip into internal storage after messing with TWRP wipe.

You might as well just manually wipe data, system and cache in the advanced menu.
Reboot back into TWRP and drag the file into your internal storage to flash. Or you can just adb sideload the rom.
If you're trying to put your ROM in via booting up android, it's not going to work because you've already wiped the system, hence no OS.

It should mount usb by default, at least for me.

I used to have a problem with encryption on a MIUI rom, and no matter what I did, flashing only system or anything other than a full wipe including internal storage didn't do anything. Thought he had the same problem

He does have the same problem. However his dilemma now after doing a full wipe is that he does not know how to put stuff in his internal storage without booting into system.
