I installed Pixel Experience on Xiaomi Mi 8 - installed TWRP 3.2.3, installed Pixel Experience 10, set it up - I liked it. I tried to enter TWRP - it did not work. I decided to reinstall TWRP, but it does not even load, only the screensaver hangs. I reboot into Pixel Experience but the screen does not respond to screen touches. I requested PitchBlack RECOVERY, booted - but the screen still does not respond. When you start Pixel Experience, the Mi screensaver lasts about a minute. What should I do?

I managed to solve the problem myself. with touchscreen.
Using TOOL ALL IN ONE cleared all the data
- re-installed TWRP (the touchscreen still did not work),
- recorded on the phone and installed miui_MI8Global_V11 zip
- booted into miui and the touchscreen earned. : D
Then, according to the new TWRP (the touchscreen works), RE 10 - everything works.

If you ever have this issue again. try flashing just the boot image, that you extract from the rom and then reflash magisk. Then TWRP should work again and you should not have any additional issues

I am currently stuck for 45+ minutes at the google reboot splashscreen (4 colorful spinning dots that eventually should turn into the word android once reboot is complete).
I followed an update procedure that I have used many times (last done November 16), although some of the files involved are somewhat old.
Starting from November 16 update for Marshmallow:
1 - Fastboot-Flashed that March 2017 factory image for Marshmallow (yes, there is still a Marshmallow... I dont' want Nougat yet). Flashed all partitions except data and recovery.
2 - Reboot directly into TWRP (I believe it is TWRP 3.0.2... I haven'te changed it recently)
3 - In TWRP: Flash superuser BETA-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550 i
4 - In TWRP: Clear space from app/system by deleting foreign language directories (to make room for xposed)
5 - IN TWRP: Flash xposed xposed-v79-sdk23-arm
6 - In TWRP - initiate reboot to system.
7 - As system rebooted, I entered my PIN.
That's where I am now. Note I never saw a screen for "optimizing apps" that was expected. I
Note I never rebooted to android system, so I'm not sure which step caused the problem (it was a method I developed to update quicker although in retrospect rebooting each step to check would be smarter).
I have some ideas of what to do eventually: (retry my flash one step at a time)
BUT, I don't know how to do anything with a phone that is stuck on the splashscreen:
* It does not respond to key combination on/volume-down (which normally goes to fastboot)
* When plugged into pc, it does not respond to fastboot devices
* There is no battery pull option on this phone.
What to do next to get control of my phone... let the battery run out on the splash screen?
Hmmm. Weird. Just held power-on and vol-down and it took me briefly to a different screen (android?) and then promprted for PIN, then back to splashscreen.
I kept pressing that combo and eventually did get into fastboot.
Now I'll flash again.

Hello. Not sure what caused your problem. Also, i don't use Xposed...
Just a heads up... Your SuperSU is really really old. Just use this one:
https://download.chainfire.eu/1021/SuperSU/SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip
Good luck...
The version of SuperSU he used likely was the cause of the bootloop.

I reflashed the system and then flashed newer files:
SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip
xposed-v87-sdk23-arm
(with a reboot between flashing SU and flashing xposed).
Everything booted up fine.
Problem solved.
Thanks for the help!
Aren't you supposed to fastboot boot, not flash the su with marshmallow?
Hi guys,
I installed MIUI 8 through TWRP, but didn't quiet like it, so I decided to try out other ROM's like Lineage OS, but none of them would install. When I tried to reboot using MIUI which was still installed, I couldn't use the keyboard anymore, so I decided to go back to TWRP and install the SuperUser Version of EUI I have already used for quiet a while. It installed correctly, but when I rebooted my phone, MIUI somehow tried to boot again. I went back to TWRP, installed EUI, but when I rebooted, MIUI tried to boot again. The big issue is that MIUI can't really start up which means that the start screens just keeps rotating, but nothing else happens. Does anybody have an idea how to solve that problem? I never experienced such an issue. Thanks!
I solved it by just trying it multiple times. I didn't really reach my target, but at least my device is usable again.
It is not available
I think I have the weirdest soft brick ever. First of all my device works. I can use every feature with no issues till I reboot.
If my device is rooted and I try to reboot, it stucks on bootloader for about 30 seconds and loops on fastboot. There's no single reboot process gone smooth.
I could earlier fix this issue by flashing system, cache and boot all together from my back up. Now it doesn't work, at least it loops on android booting screen.
My device is MI 9T Pro 128 GB Global.
I flashed Xiaomi.eu 11 latest stable rom via the official TWRP and rooted with magisk.
I tried different TWRP's and OrangeFox to flash Magisk or formatting data but no solutions so far.
First time this happened I also tried to flash 'magisk uninstaller' but it didn't help.
I'm really new to this phone and triggered by this annoying issue. It's been 6 set-ups in 10 days. If anyone can help, that'd be highly appriciated.
I tried to install the weekly xiaomi.eu rom and so far everything worked. at least that's what I thought.
When I start the phone, the mi logo is briefly displayed, turned off, then immediately showing the mi logo again and shortly afterwards the recovery starts.
I have no idea what i could have done wrong.
this is how I proceeded:
1. Device unlocked using the official unlook tools (the device is more than 30 days old and has been linked to my account)
2. ADB driver installed on my pc (also worked fine)
3. TWRP installed using ADB with CMD. (did not seem to have worked the first time because the xiaomi recovery was started but after another time with a different download of twrp it worked)
4. Copy The current weekly rom to the internal stroage.
5. Installed using TWRP.
I have no idea if I have forgotten something and have already tried to reinstall the rom several times. (even over OTG) every time it is shown to me that everything has worked fine and is done.
I also reinstalled twrp several times because I read that it may be because of it.
(the only thing that looks wrong is "E:Unable to decrypt FBE device" at the beginning when flashing or wiping)
did you format data ( type yes ) before install weekly rom ?
It's normal for twrp not to take right away.
I normally flash it like 3 times right in a row with fast boot.
I've had it reboot back to the mi recovery several times like that.
But as the last person said. Formatting data should fix the bootloop.
You should only have to do that once, then you can use the miui.eu updater within the rom from here on out.
Hello, it's my first post on this forum so sorry If I made this thread in the wrong place.
I have been trying to install PE 12 (plus edition) using official PE site (https://download.pixelexperience.org/lava).
After many attempts to do so, I ended up installing different TWRP recovery images and wiping everything from my phone.
Then I've tried installing official recovery image from site and I've installed ROM by adb sideload and it worked.
First boot wasn't a problem, but from start phone would sometimes crash when attempting to turn it on (or, attempting to unlock lock screen. I can write my PIN, but then rebooting happens). When it wouldn't crash (it's not happening every time) everything would be working as long as I don't turn it off. I don't know what is causing that behaviour.
Would reinstallation help or is it hardware problem (not enough RAM etc.), or lack of swap partition?
PS: Updating every app on phone doesn't help, as well as removing lock screen (no PIN etc.).
Update: I have installed different ROM from sourceforge dedicated to my phone version (galahad). It is android 11. Works 100% fine.
