From custom to stock

I've unlocked my phone, installed twrp recovery and lineage os 14 latest build.
Now I'm selling my phone and I want to return to stock mode, so latest global stable and stock recovery.
Is it possible? And how can I do?

Of course you can. Download the fastboot ROM (Stock Global or Chinese), decompress it into your C: drive, download and run the MiFlash tool, select the path where you have placed the decompressed stock ROM, select the ''Clean All' option from the MiFlash tool and press 'Flash'. You should be back to complete stock and ready to sell off your phone.

But be sure to uncheck relock bootloader.

Hey guy's,
I'm late joining the Mi Mix party - I've been using android since the original Samsung Galaxy S including Galaxy Notes and Nexus devices.
Since those early days when everything had to be done without toolkits I've also got myself employed and have just not had the time I once had due to no longer living alone.
Because this phone has been around a while I've noticed that a lot of the guides are a bit confusing/conflicting so just wanted to ask a few questions..
I am on MIUI Global 9.2 Stable (after I got the phone I did an OTA update.)
Here's what I want to do ....
Unlock the bootloader
Root
Install TWRP
and finally after that pick out and install a Rom.
So firstly do I have to install drivers before doing anything else. And on one guide it had 2 sets of drivers, Qualcomm & USB ?
Then do I just download adb & fastboot tool
and then the Mi Flash Tool and that's it ?
Source:
https://www.getdroidtips.com/unlock-bootloader-mi-mix/
or is there a newer more detailed guide with newer files ?
Just to add that I was going to try and unlock the bootloader via the official route but got a little confused when setting up the Mi/MIUI accounts before doing some more research and realizing there's an unofficial way.
The last time I used adb/fastboot it was a huge package compared to the now couple of files.
Also is there anything I need to do when first installing TWRP regarding choosing the partition options.
Thanks for reading and any response - Ps I'm in UK and have 2 Sims in phone and do I need to worry about the recovery phone number/details.
Thanks in advance.

Go the official route to unlock, miflash comes with the drivers, don't think there are any updates from the ones in the guide,not sure what you mean with the Sims, are contacts saved to Google if so nothing to worry about. You will only need miflash to get back to stock unless you got vendor ROM which doesn't seem to be the case.

Anyone got a working TWRP for Mi 8 global? MIUI 10.

As title. I've tried like 5 different TWRP versions linked from all over the Mi 8 forums and none have worked for me. Any and all versions have made the ROM unable to boot, every restart will load recovery instead and I have to flash stock boot to get the ROM to work. Bootloader unlocked, ROM rooted by having Magisk create a patched boot cos every other way also failed.

I'm also looking for it.

Currently https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-3-0-mi-8-t3837745 this version working but you've to format all of your data then flash your rom. I know its not the standard solution and even I'm waiting for official TWRP for our beloved Mi 8.

You need to choose Format Data first, Reboot again to Recovery, and then flash the DM Verity and Encryption Disabler.
After that, you can go ahead to flash any ROM you like.

Believe me, it worth the efforts! It would be much better than staying with crappy MIUI 10 Global Stable.
Currently, I'm with MIUI EU 10.0.6.0 Stable and I don't want to go back to stock MIUI Stable, just don't forget to install Magisk 17.2 for root access, replace the GPS.conf with your preferred country server URL (I believed it should be Malaysia) - look for a thread by @RainGater for the complete walkthrough - and although it is not necessary, it would be better to edit the default Xiaomi EU build.prop to change the region to match your country (by default it is set to Romania or some EU country, I forgot)

I don't actually have a problem with my ROM. My GPS works fine, and I've already gotten root on my stock Global. Right now in my journey with Android which started with the HTC Desire Z, I don't need a custom ROM, I just need root for the occasional app that needs it I do have root now, but would love TWRP too so I can make full backups. Will check out your links regardless, thanks!

TWRP Procedure Check!

Hey, I want to make sure that this works fine:
General procedure:
- Unlock bootloader after waiting 1 week
- Flash TWRP
- Flash Global Stable Fastboot 10.3.3.0 (Not Recovery) by:
Backup in TWRP, keep backup on internal and on PC, advanced wipe everything, install rom listed above as well as GAPPS from OpenGAPPS and Magisk from the Magisk thread, then confirm flash
- Install Magisk Manager after setting up 10.3.3.0
Phone should now be rooted with all google apps and on MIUI 10.3.3.0 for International Phone
Is there anything that's missing from this?
Thank you for your help!
Edit: Is GApps necessary? If so, which one would be downloaded?
Also, should magisk and gapps be flashed AFTER the rom, BEFORE, or At the SAME TIME?

Why backup when you'll wipe everything ?, Besides i hope you're not going to wipe system in EVERYTHING, DON'T. just go to advanced and format data (type yes), then flash your recovery ROM and magisk.

Okay. Will not wipe data, cache, dalvik cache and system as in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-install-t3956945
Recovery ROM, or Fastboot ROM?
Thanks
Also, no need to install GApps or still need to? With MIUI.

I usually prefer fastboot ROM although it takes longer to flash but even recovery ROM will do. You will have to format data otherwise you will face bootloop according to my experience.

Sounds good. What's the difference between the two?
Do they both come with all google apps preinstalled?
Does installing either of them remove TWRP? (I've heard that when updating versions using recovery rom, TWRP needs reflashing)

I'm not sure about difference, But BE CAREFUL when flashing with MIFLASH TOOL, DO NOT check CLEAN ALL AND LOCK, only check CLEAN ALL, if you lock with a ROM of different region you will soft brick your phone.
Google apps come pre installed.
Yes with every update you'll have to reflash TWRP and root again.
I have moved to xiaomi.eu ROMs which come with TWRP preinstalled

Do you need to use MIFlash? I was planning on installing purely through TWRP. Are the recoveries in that thread only for MiFlash?
Also, what's the difference between xiaomi.eu and the global version? I don't mind reinstalling TWRP each time.

No, Miflash is for Fastboot ROMs, TWRPs are pushed with commands.
Difference between xiaomi.eu ROMs can be seen in their website.

I checked the website, seems like a good idea to go with xiaomi.eu ROMs instead. Note: I'm in the US. Is that okay with .eu roms?
Would the rom "MIUI 11 11.0.2.0" on here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/redmi-k20-pro-firmware-10-3-8-0-9-6-13-t3939647) work with TWRP-only installation, or does that require Miflash?
Clarification on the steps as well:
Download the rom, put it onto the phone's filesystem. When formatting storage, it will NOT delete the ROM, and the ROM will be able to be flashed through TWRP?
Sorry for questions that may seem obvious, this is my first time doing this since 2014 and it's plenty more complicated now!

All Xiaomi.eu ROMs are flashed in TWRP.
1. Reboot to TWRP
2. Advanced⟩Format data, Type YES.
3. Reboot to TWRP again.
4. Now connect your phone to computer and copy-paste the downloaded Xiaomi.eu ROM to phone internal storage.
5. Flash the ROM
6. You're good to go.

Makes so much more sense now. Was wondering how all the data formatting and reworking doesn't mess with the ROM!
There shouldn't be any problems with the Xiaomi.eu roms when living in the U.S, right? (LTE with Band 4, Google location as US)
Also, I did a quick search and it turns out Xiaomi.eu rom weekly updates arrive OTA? Is this the case for what I'm doing, and if so, will each OTA update remove TWRP + root?

Your LTE bands are safe. And yes the OTAs come with TWRP preinstalled so it'll reboot to TWRP and flash by itself. Even if it fails you can always flash manually.

Oh, sorry, one last question!
Using the ROM from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/rom-miui-11-xiaomi-eu-t3984691
That's flashed with TWRP. Will it, too, get the weekly OTA updates? Or do I have to install the beta build from here to do that? https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/redmi-k20-pro-firmware-10-3-8-0-9-6-13-t3939647
Perhaps a better question would be, which source should I use for the rom, or will any european edition xiaomi rom work to get the weekly builds?

Weekly builds are usually beta builds, and to go from beta to stable will require clean flash. I suggest you download stable builds and wait for stable OTAs whenever they're ready

Sounds good to me, I'll go with stable, then.
Correct me if I'm wrong with these points:
Magisk will be flashed at the same time as the stable MIUI 11 ROM, and the phone will remain rooted with Magisk even after each OTA update
Xpozed can be installed through the Magisk Manager app (which is persistent after each OTA update)
OTA updates do not change anything to do with the phone's storage

Regarding magisk i have forgotten if it flashed automatically or i did manually, but it shouldn't be a problem manually.
OTA won't affect storage. They're like normal OTAs

problem with booting miui eu Mi 9 PRO 5G (crux)

Hi!
My phone: Mi 9 PRO 5G 12/512GB.
I unlocked the bootloader,
Installed the TWRP from here https://unofficialtwrp.com/twrp-3-3-1-root-xiaomi-mi-9-pro/
Installed Xiaomi EU from https://sourceforge.net/projects/xi...MI9Pro5G_V11.0.3.0.PFXCNXM_v11-9.zip/download
And I have a problem. The system charges 1-2 minutes and then restarts to TWRP. Each time the same thing happens. Installing the system again didn't help.
Do you have any idea how to fix this and start the system?

Hello all,
I live in Spain.
I also have the Xiaomi mi 9 Pro 5G bought from aliexpress last year (chineese Rom but in English).
What are the advantages of using an EU Rom instead of using the Chineese Rom ? What will I gain ?
Somebody wrote that the 5G is limited to the chinese operator and can not work outside of China because of the Chinese Rom? Is that correct ?
Is there a step by step procedure to change it to the EU Rom (no global rom available yet?) ? What are the advantages of using the EU rom over the global Rom ?
If I do so, will the official updates be installed automatically later on? I don't want to brick my phone
Many thanks in advance for your replies.
Cheers

K20 Pro 11.0.3.0 Global, whiche TWRP and Magisk use ?

Hi everyone, sorry for my bad english.
I have a Redmi K20 Pro (chinese phone from Rakuten sent to France) with 11.0.3.0 Global Rom (QFKINXM) with an UNLOCKED Bootloader.
I would like to install TWRP (for root) and magisk (to hide root).
When I've bought the phone, i had a 9t Pro Rom installed. I've tried to install TWRP and magisk and I soft bricked it...
So... I've reflash an old Global K20 Pro ROM (not 9T Pro) and update it via OTA.
Now I'm in 11.0.3.0 Global with the good phone name (K20 pro).
I would like to know wich version of TWRP and Magisk I must flash.
Maybe one from this thread?

You shouldn't normally need to flash vbmeta, if you are going to install Magisk. You should be OK, if you boot immediately to TWRP after flashing, then flash Magisk.
Also look at Orange Fox recovery, if you are sticking with MIUI. It has extra features specific to MIUI, such as OTA survival and in-built debloat tools, amongst other things.
If you don't need the extra features, then stick with the mauronofrio's TWRP.
For Magisk, just go with the latest official build.

I tried to flash Twrp many times but every attempt failed... Orange Fox is no problem, but I like Twrp more. The phone isn't booting up after flashing Twrp... Has anybody a solution for this problem?
Gesendet von meinem Mi 9T Pro mit Tapatalk

Ok I will try Orange Fox. But could I install Magisk to hide root with Orange Fox ? Moreover, must I boot to Android before flashing Magisk or must I flash it immediatly after the Orange Fox install ?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT : all tutos I've found tells that I must install TWRP before Orange Fox... But I can't install TWRP without soft brick...

wait wait wait....
Umm, if you haven't gotten a fix yet.
You're saying you got k20p china model (RCN) with global rom (RGL rom) and it is using Indian Vendor (RIN vendor).............. dude.... why.
Anyways, can I just suggest you move to EU ROM latest stable. Its a lot less hassle, seriously.
I mean AOSP is great too. but if you want miui, EU just skips all the problems.
Also, to fix your problem.
Find out what phone you have first, then get the latest updated vendor for it.
Use mauronifroi's TWRP img file and flash it via cmd on your PC. then use orangefox.
Just flash the latest stable magisk zip file 20.3
My Guide should fix everything you have. you mix and matched 3 things lel, no wonder something is soft-bricking. Use my guide, or text me on telegram
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/simple-beginners-guide-to-raphaelin-t4020543
there's also a guide on why your recovery isn't sticking.

thanks a lot Sandeeep Kiran !
How can I know exactly the phone model I have ? I'v bought it on Rakuten as a 9T Pro and I've received a K20 Pro (chinese or indian, I don't really know)
Then, how can I know exactly the rom I have. It's just written "11.0.3.0 Global Rom (QFKINXM)" on my phone.
I seem to have an Indian phone with an indian rom but I'm not ure. All works perfectly and in french but I don't pass the Safety check from Google.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT : the phone I've bought. https://fr.shopping.rakuten.com/offer/buy/3967800781/xiaomi-redmi-k20-pro-128-go-ram-6-go-double-sim-rouge.html
But i've received a K20 Pro. After the brick I've installed an old official Global Rom from the Xiaomi website and update it via OTA.
(again sorry for my very bad english)

download cpu-z app on play store, and check if somewhere there is ,,raphael'' or ,,raphaelin'' so we can be sure

Thanks. CPU-Z says me "raphaelin"... So... Indian phone with an Indian Rom I suppose.
I'm affraid to flash TWRP. I'm tired to reinstall all my phone, apps, settings, data, game saves...etc

thanks a lot Sandeeep Kiran !
How can I know exactly the phone model I have ? I'v bought it on Rakuten as a 9T Pro and I've received a K20 Pro (chinese or indian, I don't really know)
Then, how can I know exactly the rom I have. It's just written "11.0.3.0 Global Rom (QFKINXM)" on my phone.
I seem to have an Indian phone with an indian rom but I'm not ure. All works perfectly and in french but I don't pass the Safety check from Google.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT : the phone I've bought. https://fr.shopping.rakuten.com/offer/buy/3967800781/xiaomi-redmi-k20-pro-128-go-ram-6-go-double-sim-rouge.html
But i've received a K20 Pro. After the brick I've installed an old official Global Rom from the Xiaomi website and update it via OTA.
(again sorry for my very bad english)

You speak English well.
Right, so on my guide link.. scroll down to the 3rd comment, and you'll find a guide that says HOW TO KNOW WHAT DEVICE I HAVE. and check the box.
I'm just assuming whoever sold it did not change the boxes as well.
anyways, on the back of the phone, if it says REDMI it's either an Indian k20p or a Chinese k20p. If it has MI written on it. Your phone is Mi 9tp.
download the DRM info app from the play store. If your widevine is L1, you have the Indian variant confirmed.
If your widevine is L3, you have the china variant probably (or the Indian variant and screwed with the widevine, and you may get it back depending on what the manufactures did. Iff it shows L3, it's a decent chance its the china version)
another sure-fire way is checking if NFC works. The Indian variant does not have NFC hardware chip at all., whereas the china version does.
for now, move to EU, and we can slowly work on which exactly if you are hell-bent on know what you got.
The CPU-Z will show raphael/raphaelin based on your vendor. I have raphaelin, but I am using EU rom, which uses modified china vendor, so my CPU-Z app shows raphael and not raphaelin
btw, if you are so self-conscious about your English, download the chrome extension called grammarly., and Enable it. That'll help your English dramatically by underlining your grammatical mistakes. I use it all the time, and for making sure my posts are grammatically sound.
I'm on telegram as sandeeep, you can text me there if you want to.

Thanks everyone.
I have a chinese version (winedev L3 and NFC and K20 written in the back), good for me and Netflix ! And everyone works perfecly on my phone.
So... I will try to backup as many things as possible and retry to flash TWRP. If it's failed I will flash an EU Rom et retry the TWRP flash.
Sandeeep Kiran, I will telegram you if I have problems. Thanks a lot guy !

Hopefully this is the last time to back up and restore the phone.
Go here and get the latest EU fastboot ROM
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/raphael/
It's labelled Global EEA - currently version 11.0.3
Install it with this guide
https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2
If you see a blank page on a mobile phone, change the browser to desktop mode to view it.
IMPORTANT
In the guide at step 4, after unzipping the ROM delete the file clean_all_lock.bat - This will stop you accidentally bricking the phone.
In step 5 make sure you change the option at the bottom to clean all, before hitting the flash button (see the photo in the guide)
You need to boot into MIUI once before flashing anything else.
After initial set-up of MIUI, boot into fastboot and flash the latest TWRP from here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k2...icial-twrp-xiaomi-redmi-t3944363/post79823568
Currently 3.3.1-32 is the latest.
After flashing TWRP, while you are still in fastboot mode, type
Code:
fastboot reboot
Now as soon as you hit enter, pick up the phone and press and hold the volume up button. Keeping holding volume up until the phone boots into TWRP.
Download the latest Magisk from here
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases
(It's a good idea to also download the uninstaller file too, just in case you need it)
With the phone now in TWRP and connected to the PC, copy the Magisk installer to the phone, then flash it with TWRP.
You should now have the latest EU ROM with TWRP and Magisk successfully installed, so reboot to MIUI and check Magisk is working.
Then reboot to recovery and check TWRP is working.
I apologies for my bad French. :laugh:
