Hi everyone,
I'm right now facing the issue that none of the flashed custom ROMs can boot.
I'm right now on MIUI 10.0.2.0, the bootloader is unlocked and TWRP was installed, but since I returned to the original global ROMs via XiaomiMiFlash Tool I think it's not on the decide anymore.
I tried to install Havoc and Pixel Experience.
What is the correct procedure to flashed the roms ?
I followed the instructions on the Havoc OS Thread for "Coming from MIUI 10.0.2.0". After installing the device kept boot looping and basically "flashing" the MI Logo with the "Unlocked" Label at the bottom.
Thank you for your time and help.
This could be a problem with your data partition and encryption. You need to full wipe your data (you loose all your sdcard data, so backup as much as possible) with twrp.
I used "Format Data" under "Wipe" in TWRP.
And I tried to run the decryption zip.
Same thing.

Try this:
1. Flash MIUI PIE 8.12.20 global Rom DON'T REBOOT
2. Flash Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt Here DON'T REBOOT
3. Wipe Data,System,Cache Your Data will be lost
4. Flash HavocRom + Gapps
5. Reboot and Enjoy
the link to the post is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/development/prepare-t3841106
I followed that instructions and now I'm at least seeing the boot logo, but its stuck at the animation.
I left it for 1 hour and it's not booting...
What can I do ?

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.
[SOLVED]
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

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
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

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.
