Hey, I want to make sure that this works fine:
General procedure:
- Unlock bootloader after waiting 1 week
- Flash TWRP
- Flash Global Stable Fastboot 10.3.3.0 (Not Recovery) by:
Backup in TWRP, keep backup on internal and on PC, advanced wipe everything, install rom listed above as well as GAPPS from OpenGAPPS and Magisk from the Magisk thread, then confirm flash
- Install Magisk Manager after setting up 10.3.3.0
Phone should now be rooted with all google apps and on MIUI 10.3.3.0 for International Phone
Is there anything that's missing from this?
Thank you for your help!
Edit: Is GApps necessary? If so, which one would be downloaded?
Also, should magisk and gapps be flashed AFTER the rom, BEFORE, or At the SAME TIME?
Why backup when you'll wipe everything ?, Besides i hope you're not going to wipe system in EVERYTHING, DON'T. just go to advanced and format data (type yes), then flash your recovery ROM and magisk.

Okay. Will not wipe data, cache, dalvik cache and system as in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-install-t3956945
Recovery ROM, or Fastboot ROM?
Thanks
Also, no need to install GApps or still need to? With MIUI.
I usually prefer fastboot ROM although it takes longer to flash but even recovery ROM will do. You will have to format data otherwise you will face bootloop according to my experience.

Sounds good. What's the difference between the two?
Do they both come with all google apps preinstalled?
Does installing either of them remove TWRP? (I've heard that when updating versions using recovery rom, TWRP needs reflashing)
I'm not sure about difference, But BE CAREFUL when flashing with MIFLASH TOOL, DO NOT check CLEAN ALL AND LOCK, only check CLEAN ALL, if you lock with a ROM of different region you will soft brick your phone.
Google apps come pre installed.
Yes with every update you'll have to reflash TWRP and root again.
I have moved to xiaomi.eu ROMs which come with TWRP preinstalled

Do you need to use MIFlash? I was planning on installing purely through TWRP. Are the recoveries in that thread only for MiFlash?
Also, what's the difference between xiaomi.eu and the global version? I don't mind reinstalling TWRP each time.

No, Miflash is for Fastboot ROMs, TWRPs are pushed with commands.
Difference between xiaomi.eu ROMs can be seen in their website.

I checked the website, seems like a good idea to go with xiaomi.eu ROMs instead. Note: I'm in the US. Is that okay with .eu roms?
Would the rom "MIUI 11 11.0.2.0" on here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/redmi-k20-pro-firmware-10-3-8-0-9-6-13-t3939647) work with TWRP-only installation, or does that require Miflash?
Clarification on the steps as well:
Download the rom, put it onto the phone's filesystem. When formatting storage, it will NOT delete the ROM, and the ROM will be able to be flashed through TWRP?
Sorry for questions that may seem obvious, this is my first time doing this since 2014 and it's plenty more complicated now!

All Xiaomi.eu ROMs are flashed in TWRP.
1. Reboot to TWRP
2. Advanced⟩Format data, Type YES.
3. Reboot to TWRP again.
4. Now connect your phone to computer and copy-paste the downloaded Xiaomi.eu ROM to phone internal storage.
5. Flash the ROM
6. You're good to go.

Makes so much more sense now. Was wondering how all the data formatting and reworking doesn't mess with the ROM!
There shouldn't be any problems with the Xiaomi.eu roms when living in the U.S, right? (LTE with Band 4, Google location as US)
Also, I did a quick search and it turns out Xiaomi.eu rom weekly updates arrive OTA? Is this the case for what I'm doing, and if so, will each OTA update remove TWRP + root?

Your LTE bands are safe. And yes the OTAs come with TWRP preinstalled so it'll reboot to TWRP and flash by itself. Even if it fails you can always flash manually.

Oh, sorry, one last question!
Using the ROM from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/rom-miui-11-xiaomi-eu-t3984691
That's flashed with TWRP. Will it, too, get the weekly OTA updates? Or do I have to install the beta build from here to do that? https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/redmi-k20-pro-firmware-10-3-8-0-9-6-13-t3939647
Perhaps a better question would be, which source should I use for the rom, or will any european edition xiaomi rom work to get the weekly builds?

Weekly builds are usually beta builds, and to go from beta to stable will require clean flash. I suggest you download stable builds and wait for stable OTAs whenever they're ready

Sounds good to me, I'll go with stable, then.
Correct me if I'm wrong with these points:
Magisk will be flashed at the same time as the stable MIUI 11 ROM, and the phone will remain rooted with Magisk even after each OTA update
Xpozed can be installed through the Magisk Manager app (which is persistent after each OTA update)
OTA updates do not change anything to do with the phone's storage
Regarding magisk i have forgotten if it flashed automatically or i did manually, but it shouldn't be a problem manually.
OTA won't affect storage. They're like normal OTAs

My new MI8 SE is not my daily use, so I got time to check all available MIUI custom rom (eu,Globe,MiRum,Miuipro,Ros,MS and Masik 1.8.)
At this point no problem, they install very well and they answer my needs.
BUT:
AS EVERYBODY should know that it is very easy to delete the central Password and finger print by the mean of our sophisticated tool (I mean TWRP).
In order to be safe '(without turning back to stock rom) I tried to encrypt the phone WITHOUT success...
Process failed every time with different results (full reset, logo loop for hours, partial encrypt for data only). But was always the point that minimum security can't be reached!
Question:
-Can you well sleep If you mind that you are having all your precious data available in the wind as soon your phone is lost or stolen or even worst let in some bad friends hands...? It takes 1 mn to delete the file without any computer.
I see a partial solution by installing afterward a stock recovery that does allow to trick the system file.
(If somebody has it, I am available to test this option, but don't tell me to flash a stock rom as solution!!)
Your comments/solutions are welcome.
You can have encryption with custom ROM, if the corresponding kernel enabled built-in force encryption.
I'm currently running phh treble 9.0 encrypted, with stock kernel patched by this script:

Thanks for taking care of my post.
This is old now.
I've investigated a bit more and found ways to get MIUI custom ROM encrypted. (for now I want to stay with MIUI stuff!)
I know that almost all AOSP like rom may well encrypt from first install.
My aim was and is still to warn people that without encrypt their phone are open like a lost book.
Thanks for the very interesting and documented thread (link) you directed me to.

In my view it's a mistake to backup anything with TWRP because as of today nothing is stable. Better to stay with MIUI backup and computer duplication.

Finally i got it working following your instructions on the MIUI EU forum. Thanks a bunch. :victory: :highfive:
To others for reference. Following are the procedures that i followed to boot up Miui Eu :silly:
- Flash official 8.12.13 (Dev Fastboot Rom) through MiFlash.
- Flash TWRP 1102
- Clean Data
- Push/ Copy and Flash 8.12.20( EU Rom), it booted up finally without redirecting to Fastboot.
- Update 8.12.20 to latest available from system updater.
- Now there won't be any recovery or we aren't able to enter into available recovery even though the system boots.
- Flash TWRP 1227.
Finally. Open Beta, but running without Problems here! :good:

Its bootloop because your device is encrypted and cant boot,look in other threads there is a decrytption script and step by step how to flash this pie
I can't recommend a flash without Data formatting since it is a Major Android Update. If You want to face a bugfree and clean Device start from scratch by backing Up Your Internal Storage, flash Orange Fox and do a complete wipe followed by "format Data" and the flashing of the System. Every System has Problems with Updates, that will never Change but A/B Treble was a step in the right direction since its almost failsafe on Updates. We don't have A/B Support on the Mi Mix 2 so it will be the best to do clean Updates before You will loose Your Personal Data...
Flashing Scripts to avoid encryption is Just a dirty workaround btw. If You want a save and secure Device just do what i wrote before... Otherwise can everyone steal Your Device and get Access to EVERYTHING.
I've written a short tutorial how to use encrypted data on latest Mi MIX2 MIUI Android 9 Pie ROM

As soon as I install latest xiaomi eu pie and magisk 19.1 I get a message that find device storage corrupted your device is unsafe now. Everything except adding/removing fingerprints seems to work correctly. Then even if I clean data I still get this message. the only way to fix it is clean install latest Oreo (9.4.25). Then I can update to pie and it is ok until magisk. Anyone has experienced this behavior or can help?

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.
Cool Thanks.
And for the TWRP the best actually is the unofficial one from @mauronofrio or there is an official for android p ? Is the last on twrp.me will work ? Thanks

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 all.
I've just bought this device. When I first launched it, it was on miui9, i updated to miui 10 stable 10.0.3.0 (8.1 Android) via ota. Then, I saw that I could also upgrade to miui 11. However, I've read that battery is worse than Miui 10 so I don't know If I should install it.
I've unlocked the recovery because I want to try some custom roms but I'm a bit scared of the anti-rollback.
Could you please tell me what should I do?
Thanks all.
Before you do anything you need to figure out which device you own. You bought it and you already unlocked the bootloader? That generally takes 360 hours, are you sure it wasn't already unlocked? If it was unlocked you probably have a Chinese device, and in that case be extremely careful about not relocking the bootloader. if the phone is not bound to your account ( linked to you personally) then you could brick it and have no recourse.
if you unlocked it yourself and you have a locked device , then don't worry about anti-rollback. So far it has not been implemented. Next, you heard wrong about Miui 11, its battery is equally as good. Although the best version of Miui and currently the most stable Android 10 overall is Xiaomi.EU which is a custom rom based on the china beta but globalised, with Google services.
Again do your homework, avoid extremely old posts that are no longer relevant. Never attempting upgrading your screen refresh and never flash someone else's persist image and you will be good. This community has tons of infor...read a lot and take your own notes.

Hi Thanks for your reply.
My device is global version (not just global ROM, I do know the difference)
I am unlocked the bootloader using the Xiaomi official tool, i had to activate the developer tools on the device and check the bootloader status and the button which was there ( U know what I mean). Besides, when I turn on the device it says unlocked.
I've read that miui 11 has kinda bad sot because of miui and/or the bug with WhatsApp. So I don't know if I have to update via ota and If I do that I don't know if I will have any problems while trying to install a custom ROM.
I've had a Xiaomi before so I know that I shouldn't install strange zips.
Thank you

Yes, the last build of Xiaomi.EU had worse SOT than usual ( about 5 hours. However, the issue was only with one of the weekly builds) I personally resolved that issue for myself by flashing the kernel from the previous build. Also, Xiaomi.EU is updated every Thursday so later today there will be a new build that will very likely resolve the issue. On the other hand the stable builds do not have an issue with SOT. At least not in my experience. I have averaged around 8 to 9 hours SOT.
I don't use Whatsapp, so I can't help you with that.
Since you were previously on stock you will need to backup your data, if you are still using stock, backup to MiCloud as well. This way if you use a Miui based rom you can quickly restored most of your data and partial settings. You will also need to format use storage (type yes, reboot to recovery)

I see.
I've just updated to miui 11 stable via ota.
BTW, Is TWRP the best recovery for this device isn't it? I've read that exist other types of recovery (not CWM but someones).
And my last question, I cannot find which version of gcam fits on miui 11 (Android Pie). Is there any thread, telegram channel?
Thanks for all.

Personally I use the TWRP that I posted here : I talked to a few friends / android developers on other devices and several of them believe that this a TWRP issue.
I have not had any more of these issues since using this TWRP https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80952013&postcount=121
If using AOSP, you should use the official version.
The best Gcam ( I Think is by Sanity )

FYI the builds made for the Poco F1 and Razer 2 are also compatible.

Thank for helping me.
As I've posted in the official twrp thread, I was able to install twrp and get to it but after power off the phone and try to get there again miui recovery was there instead.
I've installed the last build of twrp 3.3.1.1.
Maybe If I install magisk via TWRP I will have twrp *forever*.(?)
Thank you man

No problem.
After installing TWRP, you must initially install Root and then reboot to recovery.
Often you will see a message asking if you want to install the TWRP manager, click those boxes and then proceed to rebooting to recovery.
If you are using the full stock Rom, you must have root, so anytime that you flash the official Global stable rom, or an update, flash root again...unless you see via the Recovery terminal that Root maintained it's persistence.

Hi guys, I couldn't find a full guide here. Mostly scrambled. Can anyone Please dm me or write here , a full step guide to shift to eu rom.
Currently I am on the latest global rom V11.0.2.0.QCNMIXM : MIUI 11 : Android 10 .
Previous xiaomi device I owned gave me a headache whenever there was an issue of bootlooping etc that comes with flashing i.e. it was difficult to get back. What's the situation here.
Basically I want to shift to eu rom with magisk etc.
Please suggest most stable kernel, recovery etc and procedure. Appreciate any help , links will be helpful. Thanks a ton. :fingers-crossed:
Do you mean a stock EEA rom or the xiaomi.eu custom rom?

Yes, Finally Done. Just booted up. Will let you know what all is working etc.
I unlocked bootloader.
Flashed TWRP, using xiaomi adbtool ,
in twrp formatted everything , but not vendor.
Flashed xiaomi eu rom , then again formatter cache and dalvik cahche, and then formatted data ,.
If you don't format data then the device will keep rebooting to twrp.

Yep, I'd install EU ROM, but didn't like it, many bugs in addition to the ones already in stock MIUI, actually using Havoc OS GSI 3.8, recommended for a less bloated experience and awesome tweaks for this device

Which version did you try?
11.0.8.0 was buggy for me but 11.0.11.0 is really smooth, only issue I have with it is that gestures won't trigger the PUP player so I'm stuck with on-screen buttons. Haven't tried their 11.0.1.0 build because TWRP still can't decrypt Android 10 but I've used it on stock and it was still pretty buggy.
Hopefully Xiaomi will patch it and not just release another broken Android 10 build, this time with MIUI 12.

I am using 11.0.10 , I am not going to use twrp to flash anything anymore so... Doesn't matter to me about it.
But I am finding this to be better than stock miui. Feels a bit more smooth , everything seems to be working just fine.
