Unable to update to MIUI 9

Hello guys.
I've just tried to update to MIUI 9.0.1.0 NDDMIEI from MIUI 8.5.9.0 NDDMIED on device Xiaomi Mi Max 2 but it failed.
I have an unlocked bootloader and SuperSu installed, but the recovery is Mi Stock Recovery. :cyclops:
I had directly booted TWRP Recovery without flashing using
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
to flash SuperSu on device. :good:
Need support with this issue. I don't want to flash whole ROM every time I recieve an update.

i successfully flashed to miui v9(V9.0.1.0.NDDMIEI) over miui v8(V8.5.8.0.NDDMIED) without data wipe. all my data were intact
Keep a backup just in case
make sure you downloaded recovery flashable full rom package ~1.38GB (not the 500mb OTA update )
donot wipe data/cache/dalvik
flash via TWRP recovery
just flashing rom wont boot due to dm-verity. (result will be bootloop)
u need to flash super user or magisk (or lazy flasher "ive not tried though" ) which patches boot.img which makes rom bootable

I'll give it a try. Currently I have data wiped and installed full ROM through fastboot method. So next time, for sure I'll give it a shot.
But I have a doubt, where TWRP be able to flash an MIUI ROM. I mean the bootloader unlocked, encrypted system partition and all.

Since you have your device rooted, first install flashify, and backup your stock recovery. Then you can flash twrp recovery and install Miui 9, and root the device again. Last, install flashify again and restore your stock recovery.

Can you give stock recovery from mi max 2? I forgot to back up his original recovery stock and was hit with twrp.

Hello, this happens because official MIUI boot.img verifies if recovery.img is also official/original.
You have 2 options to resolve the boot problem:
1. If you want to keep TWRP then modify boot.img... http://en.miui.com/thread-249666-1-1.html (with R4X image of course)
and flash it from TWRP or fastboot: fastboot flash boot boot.img
2. If you want original recovery, get "recovery.img" from the exact TGZ image as your MIUI ZIP
and flash it: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

MIUI 10 flashing twrp, root and rom guide required

Hello,
I'm lookig for a guide how to twrp, root and install custom rom, on my Mi5 miui 10 global stable.
I'm not newbe I did a lot of flashing on my previus phones Nexus and others. But this time I feel lost. I sit on miui 10 global stable. When I try to to flash twrp I get reroll to mi recovery every single time. All guides I found in the Internet are dedicated to older android versions. Xiaomitool don't help too.
Can someone point me to the right direction? It is time to change rom on my Mi5 finally to give him boost b4 I buy something new.
Best regards

Your bootloader is unlocked, right?
Then you need reboot to fastboot mode and flash latest official twrp via fastboot.
Like
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <path to twrp.img>
Have you tried it that way?

Bootloader is unlocked.
I did it that way but after twrp is installed I reboot and there is no twrp available. Only mi recovery.
To make it easier...
I would like to:
Flash twrp
Flash magisk and root
Flash firmware (why i need this?) Havoc os asks to flash it but I don't know why.
Flash havock os and gapps
Flash some mods for camera and sound
I don't understeand why twrp can't be flashed and I have no idea what is modified firmware for? Do I need this?
Thanks for your time

Try the the xiaomi eu rom guide .
I think you may need its custom bootloader , not the actual rom.
Than flash the firmware required for your custom rom and reboot directly to recovery again from twrp than rom and gapps , I hope that helps

Hi, i had the same problem, try this:
1. Flash twrp as usual(fastboot flash recovery twrp.img and then fastboot reboot)
2. When rebooting, you have to enter at recovery (vol up + power) . Don't allow phone to boot! In TWRP official page, on installation instructions , they say after installation you must enter in recovery to allow TWRP patch recovery rom, because some Roms after boot reinstall original recovery.
3. Now you should have TWRP installed.

If you do
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
and then do
fastboot boot twrp.img
It's simpler and it will boot to recovery and patch the ROM to be permanently installed.

First,fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
and then no reboot your phone, just to hold the key combo (vol up + power), and then you can enter the twrp mode once because the recovery will be changed when your phone has rebooted.
But you can use the only once twrp mode to install the zip .
If you just want to use MIUI 10, you will flashboot twrp everytime when you need twrp to do something.
PS: Forgive me pool English.

Their is only one way to recover your phone just follow this step
1. Flash stock firmware(stock rom) vie fastboot using MI Flasher
this is bring back you phone and if you want to install custom rom then follow this
1. boot twrp
2. wipe all the data from slot A and B partition(internal storage as per you choice )
3. boot to slot B and copy past the custom rom file in slot B
4. flash that rom and boot to slot B and then flash Gaaps and other staff you want
5. reboot and enjoy.
NOTE: changing the slot require reboot twrp in simple words every time you change the slot you have to reboot the phone and boot again to twrp..
i hope this will work for you..:good:
If you don't have stock flash file then try from step 2. see whether it will work or not otherwise follow from beginning.

facing the same issue
i tried the same and getting the same error. even the twrp3.2.3.0 never worked while tried to flash that one more than 20 times, after flashing 3.2.3.0 my phone either boots normally or it gets completely power off. and if i try to boot into recovery using volume keys and power key , it boots in stock recovery. please help

Mine its ok now... i don´t know whats happen but suddenly it flash withou any problem.
See if it helps...
Make sure you're running a proper working Recovery
Flashing instructions:
Dirty flash (assuming you have rom on slot A):
1. Download all required files and place them to internal memory (ROM, twrp installer, gapps, magisk, ..)
2. Boot twrp to slot B and flash ROM and twrp installer
3. Reboot twrp to slot A and flash gapps (optional magisk)
4. Now reboot to system
Clean flash (assuming you have rom on slot A):
1. Download all required files and place them to internal memory (ROM, twrp installer, gapps, magisk, ..)
2. Boot twrp to A slot and wipe everything except for internal
3. Reboot twrp to B slot and flash ROM and twrp installer
4. Reboot twrp to slot A and flash gapps (optional magisk)
5. Now reboot to system
If you are coming from stock:
1. Download latest TWRP installer and image
2. Open cmd and type fastboot boot twrp.img (change twrp to its actual name)
3. You should be on slot A in twrp, if not change it and reboot to bootloader and repeat step 2.
4. Format data
5. Now follow instruction for clean flash

I have this issue and none of the steps worked.
I got my device 2 days back and it was in Oreo. I tried to update to pie but the update keep failing. I unlocked the phone and flash latest official fastboot rom using mi_flash and installed magisk using this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/unlock-bootloader-n-root-magisk-easy-t3856800
Everything went smooth.
Today I tried to go further and instal PE rom using this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/guide-how-to-flash-custom-roms-stuff-t3876375
Everything goes smooth until I boot to TWRP and try to flash the rom. It gave the error posted by OP. I have tried the following things since:
1. Try another two roms, same issue
2. Flash stock Pie using mi_flash then temp boot to TWRP latest version from 'a' partition, wipe everything, then boot from 'b' partition, wipe everything, try to flash. Same issue.
3. Install TWRP (it installed without any issue), reboot to installed TWRP, flash rom, same issue.
4. Try to flash with 'a' as active. Same issue.
5. All other possible combos (i think) of the above. In all cases everything goes as expected until I try to flash the rom.
Currently I have flashed the factory image back. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Bootloop into TWRP

Can anyone help me? im trying to flash xiaomi.eu rom with unlocked bl then i flash twrp using fastboot after that i go into twrp then wipe dalvik / cache n data and then install xiaomi.eu ROM after finished the flashing i reboot the system but what i got is bootloop into twrp n i can't boot into xiaomi.eu rom

I'm not very experienced with this as other users and I don't know why this happens, but I got the same problem a few days ago. Solved it by flashing the Orange Fox Recovery R10 with the flashed TWRP. After that, the system booted perfectly, but I cannot guarantee it will work with you.

Flash a fastboot rom and reflash the twrp recovery. Thats what worked for me.
