Hello
My mi5 shipped with miui 8 global stable. I then unlocked the boot loader, rooted it and installed twrp.
Now that miui 9 is out I would like to try it. The updater notified me of the new versione and I can download it but I don't know how to install it considering that I do not have the original recovery.
It is not a problem for me to lose twrp if at least I can update and keep root access and my data. Is it possible? How to do it?
You must have stock recovery then this method.
http://en.miui.com/a-232.html
Or try zcx-twrp
but anyway there's a risk of boot error so backup important data.
Your best shot is probably ZCX recovery. But you'll probably end up with bootloop. Also you can try flashing stock recovery if you have it.

I need help I just bricked my phone and can only access fastboot.
I just unlocked my 9t pro to install a custom rom and followed the steps of this video ( can't post link but it's called: Redmi K20 Pro / MI 9T Pro - INSTALL Pixel Experience ROM Official | Android 9 Pie)
I managed to install twrp, made a backup of dtbo, boot, system and data and then wiped dalvik, cache, system and Data. After that I flashed DM Verity Force Encrypter and proceeded to flash havoc-os which gave me Error 7. I figured I might need to reboot the recovery, after doing so only fastboot comes up anymore. I cannot access twrp and have no OS installed. Please help.
If bootloader unlocked, you could use MiFlash to flash stock Rom

Thank you, where can I find the file that I need to flash in MiFlash? I don't want to break any more than I already did

This is the problem with random YouTube videos, they don't always give good advice.
There is no reason to back up dtbo, unless you are going to install an overclocked screen refresh rate mod.
There's no reason to wipe system.
There's no need to install DM Verify Force Encrypter, unless you know what they are for and you choose to disable DM Verify and/or permanently disable encryption.
Go here https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/miui/raphael/
And choose the fastboot ROM for the version you want to install, then flash it in the Mi Flash Tool.
When flashing you MUST change the flash option at the bottom of the screen to 'clean all'. If you do not change this you will brick your phone (worse than it is now)
After this you can start again. Your best solution to flashing is to search these forums. There's many good guides here
Mi 9T Pro 64 GB Global (MIUI Global 11.0.1 QFKMIXM) with Bootloader Unlocked
I keep running into issue when I install a ROM where one of two things happens every time I try...
I lose TWRP and the system boots directly to Fastboot (seems to happen with MiUI based roms)
I can re-push TWRP via ADB/FastbootTrying to flash any ROMs at this point will result in Error 7 (phone is wrong model)I cannot seem to figure out why or what to do about it. Going back to stock with MiFlash is the only thing I can get to work
I keep TWRP and the system either boot loops or boot directly to TWRP (happens with AOSP Roms)
When this happens it also scrambles sdcard and gives Unable to Wipe FBE Drive when trying to wipeThe only solution I've found to recover is use MiFlash to return to stock and then go through the unlock process again.
I have been trying to follow the ROM dev instructions, which tend to all go somewhat like:
Reboot to TWRP
Wipe Data & Cache/Dalvik (and sometimes System when AOSP)
Flash MIUI 11 vendor/firmware for your device variant (I am guessing this is where I am screwing up, but not sure how...I have also tried starting fulling stock w/OTA updates to see if it helps)
Flash the ROM
Reboot to System
I think this may be an issue of missing something simple, like the wrong FW/Vendor files, but I cannot figure it out exactly what I should be doing.
My goal is to try EvoX and LinageOS; however, at this point I have tried several others and would be happy if I could get any non-factory version working.
Mi device Mi 9T pro . After Flashing Rom my devices is bricked, not turned on. how can i solve this problem .
N.B Unfortunately i Flashed my device with Mi 9T rom.
I've tried a couple of 10 ROM but, as far as i see, there're still too many bugs that makes very unpractical for me to use android 10 as a daily driver.
I'm planning to revert back to a pie custom ROM but I'm worried that I might overlook something.
I know that I have to backup some partiotins (persist? EFS? something else? in 10 in order to restore them in Pie, but I'm not sure wich partiotions and how to restore them (before flasing the new ROM, after flashing the new ROM, should I change the active slot?)
Can someone please give me some advices?
Thank you in advance
Don't do anything you Use mi flash tool for android 10 to move android 9 i do tow time and it working for me know am using android 9 pie.
Thank you for your answer, but I'm not really sure if using miflashtool fits my case.
Isn't miflash tool designed to flash only stock ROM?
If it's not, can you please provide me a link to a guide or some explanation on the usage of miflashtool? I'm not very confortable using automated tools to flash ROM
Thank you

to start backup everything and put on pc with usb cable ..
better just flash a recovery.zip of miu pie or oreo or even custom
but if you go full stock with miflash be careful*
dont get rom with ARB activated or delete the firmware upgrade folder
also when downgrading from 10 to 9 or 9 to 8 your persist partition will get corrupted
look in the official Telegram to get a recovery flashable persist restore zip
custom pie and stock pie are pretty stable ..
remember if going for miu get recovery flashable zip and flash twrp image again after flashing rom..boot straight into recovery ...flash magisk ..use stock
Thank you for your detailed answer
Just a couple of more questions

Can I just restore my persist backup from within TWRP?
Thank you again for your patience
.........Just a couple of more questions
@Malobestino
Can I just use the recovery I have now (TWRP) or, if not, flash a TWRP.img from fastboot?
*You can use twrp but just make sure you have the latest . The best one is an unofficial one that supports encryption/decryption from 4pda. I use Orange Fox . Lots of people recommend pitch black.
I intend to flash a custom ROM so shouldn't be any issue with anti rollback
*Yes you are right, then it won't be an issue.
Can I just restore my persist backup from within TWRP?
*Maybe , yes& no . Some twrp recoveries don't support flashing persist or even backing it up ..if the version you are using does that, you can backup your persist partition ...
*There are recovery flashable zips of persist for Wayne and Jasmine on the support groups in Telegram too.
Thank you again for your patience
*No worries

Thanks to your indications I successfully downgraded from custom 10 (lineage 17) to custom 9 (havoc 2.8)
As you predicted I had some difficulties restoring the persist partition and flash persist.img
However I found a persist flashable zip on a telegram channel as you suggested and I successfully flashed from TWRP.
This is what i did:
- reboot to previously installed TWRP 3.3.1.0
- wiped system, dalvik, cache, data and external data
- switched to other slot and rebooted to recovery (recovery was already flashed to both slots from previous ROM flashing)
- wiped system, dalvik, cache, data and external data
- flashed havoc 2.8
- flashed flashable_persist.zip
- switch to other slot reboot to recovery (no recovery flashing as Havoc has built in TWRP)
- flash gapps
- flash magisk
- reboot to system
For the time being everything seems to work correctly. I checked the sensors with an app and everything seems fine.
Only issues I'm having are that autobrightness doesn't seems to work even if it's active, and that, after restoring its own backup, I cannot change notification sounds in whatsapp (?!?). Every time I try it crashes from within whatsapp settings
This issue is really strange. If i just install the app without restoring the backup from gdrive, I can change the notification sound just fine, but if I resotore the backup it crashes every time I try to access to notification submenu in whatsapp settings (every other setting works just fine).
Again, thank you for your help

I'm glad everything worked well. The auto brightness is most likely a rom bug ..check on Havoc thread ..
Maybe it could be fixed with a custom kernel ...kangmeng or something like that
As for restoring ...it is amazing the amount of strange behaviours it can cause .
Try this : ... Before backing up whatsapp change the notification to stock behaviour ..default notifications ..do backup ..
When you restore ...clean install whatsapp ..restore only data with titanium por from google drive..dont use ...just exit.. force stop ..clear cache ..open and use like normal ..will fix this problem i think .

Im' also quite convinced that is something related to the ROM or the kernel. Fro the time being isn't that big of an issue. I will look into it in the next days

Apparently this issue resolved during nightime by itself.
My theory is that the autobackup during last night realigned automagically the app (which doesn't make a lot of sense, but I don't really know how whatsapp's backup works, what it writes or read to the gdrive backup).
Anyway I really appreciated your help, thank you again
Hello.
I have a question. How to install MIUI 12 without losing TWRP. The thing is, my Mi 9T Pro is damaged and my computer can't see it (probably the motherboard is damaged). I would like to install Miui but I know that after Miui Rom flash it changes to TWRP on Recovery XIAOMI. I would like to prevent this because if I download Recovery XIAOMI, I will never be able to upload any other ROM. Do you have any suggestions on how to do it?

It was asked/answered in other threads. After flashing the stock ROM from TWRP, reboot to Recovery/TWRP (not to system) and follow the posts #933, #935-#937:
