Hi all,
I was on xiaomi.eu MIUI 11 ROM for some time, but wanted to switch to either Evolution or Syberia ROM.
I did a complete wipe and installed evolution os trough twrp... but i forgot to remove encryption so i bricked my device...
So then, I flashed the latest stock rom (11.05)with Xiaomi flash tool, but then i was stuck with the chinese ROM so...
1. I went back to bootloader and flashed mauronofrio's TWRP recovery .
2. completely wiped phone; Cache,System,Data,Internal storage
3. copied Evolution OS 4.1 to my phone
4. installed zip trough TWRP, all successfull
5. but then when rebooting, TWRP says:"No OS installed, do you wish to continue"
6. i tried other ROMs like xiaomi.eu and syberia, but these would either give me the same problem, or just bootloop until iam back in the fastboot screen...
Anyone any idea what iam doing wrong?

This works for me every time.
1 Flash the latest fastboot ROM.
2 Flash TWRP (same one you used)
3 Boot into TWRP (use the vol+ button when booting)
4 In format menu swipe to factory reset, then format data (VERY IMPORTANT this must be FORMAT not just wipe)
5 In reboot menu boot into recovery, this ensures TWRP correctly accesses the newly formatted data partition.
6 Copy over the ROM (and GApps, if needed and/or Magisk)
7 Flash the ROM, (then GApps if needed)
8 Boot into system and do the initial setup
9 If installing Magisk, boot back to TWRP and install Magisk.
There is no need to wipe anything else. There is no need to wipe anything again after installing. There is no need to disable encryption or dm-verity.

thanks, i always thought that a wipe was sufficient, or at least equal to a format... anyways will report back later when i have time to try it. lets hope it works because i can't handle this chinese rom

The format is needed to temporarily remove encryption
I've just remembered that I missed an important step. Call it step 1.5
If you going to flash immediately after flashing official MIUI you must boot into MIUI once before doing anything else. You don't need to go through the set-up, you can boot immediately into fastboot after you get to the initial set-up page. The first boot finalises the install and is needed before you flash over the top of it. That may be the cause of your issue if you had missed this before.

Ok so i flashed TWRP again, rebooted to stock rom and then rebooted into recovery, but the stock recovery is still there.
When i flash TWRP and reboot into recovery immediately i can enter TWRP, but if i reboot the phone to MIUI and then reboot again, TWRP is gone again...
It seems like TWRP does not persist... now iam stuck again on fastboot screen because i wiped + formatted everything.
Edit:
When i want to flash recovery it says "OKAY" but it is unable to boot:
Sending 'recovery' (65536 KB) OKAY [ 1.562s]
Writing 'recovery' OKAY [ 0.333s]
Finished. Total time: 1.989s
Sending 'boot.img' (65536 KB) OKAY [ 1.547s]
Booting FAILED (remote: 'Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error')
fastboot: error: Command failed

This is normal, MIUI will restore stock recovery of the recovery partition changes. In order to persist TWRP you need to either install Magisk, disable dm-verity or install a custom ROM.
If you are going to flash a custom ROM, then you should do so immediately after flashing TWRP.
After formatting data, TWRP has an issue seeing the data partition, so go to the reboot menu in TWRP and select to reboot to recovery.
Then you can immediately install the ROM of choice. You cannot boot back into system as you'll lose TWRP.

Ok, it appears that everytime i wipe system, i am not able to boot anymore into TWRP... Am i supposed to wipe System? or only wipe data & format data

There is no need to wipe system. You only need to wipe cache and dalvik and format data. (I choose to factory reset because it's easier in TWRP, but you could do advanced wipe and select cache and dalvik, then format data. Follow the steps exactly, but include my later step 1.5
I've just followed this myself today, as I've moved from LOS to the latest unofficial Havoc build.
In theory you could start by booting to fastboot and flashing TWRP again, then follow the steps from that point. You probably don't need to install MIUI.

Ok thanks a lot! So no need to wipe system partition after stock rom install. just wipe cache/dalvik/data, got it.
Most ROM install guides tell you to wipe /system when coming from stock rom. I guess this requirement has changed? or depends on what ROM you're coming from?
Use can use my guide
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/simple-beginners-guide-to-raphaelin-t4020543
it has how to flash roms, and fastboot fix. (which tells why the Recovery isn't staying)

I need help... The reason why I'm flashing custom rom is, when the latest update came MIUI 12.5 android 11, all sensors of my phone stopped working like (Gyroscope, accelerometer, proximity sensor) I tied to flash the rom by fastboot method but still the problem persists. because of that I unlocked bootloader and flashed twrp. After flashing custom rom when I tried to boot it, it stuck on booting screen and when I tried to reboot into recovey it is showing fastboot mode. I'm unable to boot into custom rom.

Bro I have one doubt, I installed pixel os successfully then I roll back into stock os(miui) with locking bootloader, the. Again I unlock bootloader successfully, but the problem is I am unable to install os, i tried wipe data, catch. But the stock rom was not removed. What can I do?
Using orange fox in resmi note 10 pro
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.
here are the steps i performed
1. unlock via tool
2. flast twrp via fastboot
3. wipe flash pixel experience april 2020 build
4.stuck in bootloop format data.
5. reflash pixel experience
6 still bootloop
7. flash orange fox recovery zip
8. wipe everything except vendor and internal and otg
9 flash pixel experience and Fcrypt disabler.zip
10 reboot
now i am stuck in fastboot mode
everytime i boot into system/ recovery i am landed on fastboot mode

Best bet is to restore the phone and start again.
Flash the latest fastboot ROM for the phone, making sure that you change the flash option in the Mi Flash Tool, so you don't lock the bootloader.
Boot into MIUI once to finalise the installation. No need to do the initial setup.
Flash TWRP and boot into it.
Do a factory reset, followed by format data. Format not wipe, need to type yes to continue.
Reboot into TWRP to ensure the formatted data partition is properly mounted.
Flash PE, plus the extras you want.
Reboot to system and you should be good.
This is the best failsafe method when nothing else seems to work.
Please can back up my phone redmi 10x 5g that is turned off on recovery twrp and does not work even after the official update
Download stock rom, copy it into sdcard memory. Put your device into recovery mode. Choose format (factory reset), choose yes. Then flash stock rom, flash magisc and flash vbmeta.img. Then, reboot system.

If you got bootloop after flashed magisk, you need to flash stock rom boot.img.
If you got bootloop after flashed TWRP, you need to flash stock rom recovery.img.
If you got bootloop (or black screen) after flashed misc partition, you need to erase misc partition.
If your device keep booting in recovery (or blackscreen), you need to erase misc partition.
Here, is the guide for erasing MISC partition: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...omi-redmi-note-9-xiaomi-redmi-10x-4g.4209299/
Please, follow only method 2, because method 1 is for MERLIN (Redmi 10X 4G / Redmi Note 9).
Do you need help with your MERLIN device ?

If you are installing first time, you must FORMAT Data, not wipe (it applies generally for switching between diferent ROMs, and must have been described elswhere)
Format is different option in TWRP (btw, I'd suggest to use official TWRP if available for your device), it does more than just wiping
Also wipe Dalwik and Cache (TWRP offers right after flashing the zip, not sure about OF)
