Hello all,
I did some searching here on XDA and on the internet regarding the flashing but I was unable to find any definitive answer to this so maybe someone here can help me out, here goes:
As far as I'm aware, Xiaomi does not provide a source code for their drivers (firmware) which means we need to use precompiled binaries for specific android versions, downloadable for example here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k2...mware-xiaomi-mi-9t-pro-redmi-k20-pro-t3955317
What I don't exactly understand is how can one go about installing a custom ROM (e.g LineageOS) and drivers in case there is a difference between Android versions when flashing a ROM (e.g going from Android 9 based MIUI 10 to Android 10 based LineageOS 17)
Most of the how-to's I found on installing a custom ROM specify that I should update to MIUI 11 (Android 10) first before installing LineageOS 17 so the firmware is up to date and working but I would like to avoid this due to Xiaomi's anti-rollback "feature" (fastboot getvar anti) which will then prevent me from installing back MIUI 10 (in case I might want to roll back)
Does anyone know how/where is the firmware stored exactly? As I understand, the firmware is installed via TWRP therefore I believe it's stored somewhere on filesystem, do I need to flash the firmware/ROM in specific order when flashing a new ROM via TWRP (ROM first, then firmware)?
For now, I came up with these steps:
1. Unlock bootloader - already done
2. Install TWRP
3. Flash custom ROM (Android 10 / LineageOS 17)
4. Flash Firmware (Extracted from Android 10 / MIUI 11)
5. Wipe data/dalvik/etc. + install gapps/magisk/etc.
6. Reboot
Will this work?
Thanks a bunch!

I'd advise updating the firmware of stock miui, so you are up-to-date normally. The firmware is located in the vendor. the vendor and firmware files are combined. (links in my guide as well.
Updating to an AOSP rom from miui is also in my guide.
Hello there, I have bought an Xiaomi Mi 9t pro in Germany 2 Days ago.
The guy who used it before had unlocked the Bootloader and installed the TWRP. This is working great and I've got no Problem with that.
He Also installed another ROM. In The beginning there was the Original EEA Rom. Now it is runnning with "MIUI 11 | V11.0.5.0QFKCNXM|(stable)".
He said this ROM is the original Global ROM from China and because of that the Phone identifys as Redmi K20 Pro. I've got no Problem with that, because I know These are the same phones. But my Question is: What is the difference between these two ROM's and does it make sense to use the ROM witch is installed already? Because actually i wanted to test the phone with the original ROM. And where can I find the actuall original ROM?
Thanks a bunch!

Your phone now has the Chinese ROM, not global.
The Chinese ROM is not so good for use outside of China.
You would be better using the latest EEA ROM, which you can download from here
http://bigota.d.miui.com/V11.0.3.0....EUXM_20191029.0000.00_10.0_eea_80e1c5de81.tgz
This is a fastboot ROM and needs to be flashed in fastboot mode, not with TWRP.
There are plenty of guides here on flashing a fastboot ROM, just be careful not to re-lock the bootloader.
Thank you for the fast answer. I will try to install the original ROM as fast as i can find a good guide on how to install via fastboot .
Can you please tell me whats the difference in the methods of installing a ROM via fastboot or TWRP? Up to now I always worked with TWRP. But this is my first Xiaomi device.
And why the bootloader should be re-locked when I'm installing the ROM? And is there any problem with re-locking the bootloader?

Xiaomi release 2 ROMs for each version, a recovery ROM and a fastboot ROM.
The recovery ROM is a standard ROM that is flashed via recovery, i.e. TWRP. Fastboot ROMs are more for recovering a soft bricked phone. They include most of the phones partition images, not just the system image. When changing to a different region ROM, you need to flash a fastboot ROM, not the recovery ROM.
Flashing fastboot ROMs is normally done with the Mi Flash Tool. The tool defaults to flash and lock the bootloader. You need to manually change the flash option from the default to flash only option (called 'clean all' in the tool)
It is only possible to re-lock the bootloader when you are flashing a ROM that is for the original region of the phone, if you try and lock the bootloader when flashing a ROM for a different region, it will brick the phone.
Because you've bought the phone second hand, and the seller already lied about the Chinese ROM being global, then there is no guarantee that the phone is a genuine European model, so it is best to play safe and not re-lock the bootloader when flashing the EEA ROM.

Thank you for this great description. I will try top flash the european ROM this weekend. After everything works succesfull i will write here .
Only one more question.. flashing the original ROM with re-locking the Phone will deinstall TWRP and install an original bootloader?

So now I flashed it by fastboot and its running. I had to watch some videos an dread some sides to understand what to do to make the Mi Flash tool run. But all in all its not that complicated as i thought.
When I start the phone its still unlocked, but i think there is no TWRP anymore. Thats not that important for me now. But I'm missing some Features witch were in the chinese ROM already. For example the App drawer. I Thougt it would be normal to have one because up to now i only had Phones with it :/. I've read it will come with some extra updates, and i hope it will come soon.
Thank you for your help. I hope i will accustom myself to use the phone without the app drawer.
I just got a 4 XL running Android 11 feb patch, i'm planning to unlock it and install Cleanslate so i can get rid of the annoying greentint in low brightness. im not new to rooting/custom roms/kernels but the last device i tinker was oneplus 6 and mi 9t pro. i did some research and i see a lot of ways rooting like patching the boot.img
im wondering if i can still do the old method were i just flash everything using twrp to obtain root, update to latest security patch ( i wanted to stay on stock firmware) and just reflash kernel and magisk. or am i required to do all those "patch boot.img" steps to obtain root on stock?
i feel so noob now. lol any help will greatly be appreciated

No TWRP for Android 11. You have to patch boot.img and fastboot flash it.

Just follow one of the guides is your best bet. Magisk is pretty user friendly for patching your own boot.img. There is a thread that keeps up with pre-patched boot.img files but you are better off getting proficient with adb/fastboot and patching your own.
[Guide] Root Pixel 4 XL Android 11 (R)
Went there, rooted that, ordered the t-shirt. [/ wink & grin]
I haven't done rooting in a while (uh, Samsung S7 while). NTL, I actually followed the guide (gasp!!) and it all worked first time out.
Not much to say after that.
I've been waiting since its release to be able to root it, there are some tutorials online but they look sketchy and I dont trust them.
The only one I would trust is made by the magisk team but it has a link that says "cooming soon" when you try to download the Realme 8 Pro stock rom, which is also not present on the official realme website.
This is what made me skeptic: how can the youtube indian guy have the stock rom meanwhile neither the official website and magisk have it? is it worth to give it a try or if I mess up I wont be able to restore my phone? has anyone tried to do so? which tutorial should i use?
At this time there is no solution to root realme 8 pro, in-depth test app is not working with this device so far, firmware is not avaleble to download (from a credible source). We just have to wait, i don't know for how long, i just hope devs will find a solution in a shot time.
Is fileload.coloros.com trusted??
First the bootloader "can" be unlocked and this is the primarly thing to do.
Secondary rom images allready exists.
https://oppostockrom.com/oppo-realme-8-pro-rmx3081
http://www.frpbdteam.online/
Zip and opf's can be extracted .... So boot (kernel and ramdisk) can be modified to work with modified Magisk and all other needed things (Bootloader unlock, FRP, vbMETA, Verity ...) to gain root.
Regarding recovery and flash via current recovery the things are not known yet, also custom recovery options.
Update: Will be very hard to participate for this device ...
Yeah

Stock ROM is here
There are available stock roms, update OTA's but to be able to flash,root ... first the unlock bootloader should be available. Since the HAL is missing from the fastboot and the bootloader is still locked the only thing is to flash is original stock ROM.
Secondary AVB check, meta, recovery, boot, FRP and other things should be done also.
Currently the MSM flash is only available for signed and official files, also MD5 checked flash files.
There is no working piece of tutorial to obtain any of it. Some partially and also magisk patched boot allready done by me, but cannot flash it to test and prepare other needed steps.
Recovery is original, there is no log or cache log currently available to check.
Yes, But You have to root realme 8 pro rmx 3081 stock rom as there is no custom rom available i have sucessfully rooted realme 8 pro
EXPORT and GDPR Roms are different.
Guess you have EXPORT and not the GDPR (EU).
No custum roms available just because the bootloader lock and/or EDL verification and/or ABV and/or parted excrypted userspaced super.

Hi guys! just a couple of questions. I have been reading some of the Q and A on mi 11 ultra in the forums and have some questions of my own for clearer info for me.
I will be unlocking my bootloader today so here's my questions.
1. If I'm flashing a eurom (flashable rom from xiaomi website), do i need to follow the guides in flashing a twrp? or just the usual mi flash tool and eurom for flashing?
2. If I'm flashing a global rom, (i watched in a video that for flashing global rom) do i still need to edit the .bat file and delete the 8 lines pertaining to rollback?
3. currently i have a 12.0.9 chinarom, i haven't updated it yet to 12.5.3 (there is an update available), because i will be unlocking my bootloader. Do i need to update it first before unlocking? or just proceed to unlocked?, then change the rom to my preferred one either eurom or global?
thank you.

i have flashed an updated eurom thur twrp. do i have to format after installation of rom?

Thanks for the reply. You leave the bootloader unlocked, or relocked it in EU version? Are you able to use bank and payment apps without security issues?
And, what is the main differences of the Chinese and EU system?
Thanks
The bootloader remains unlocked, you cannot lock it via dev options. However the ROM works as if it is locked by its design. All bank apps work, may be you might need to delete the empty twrp folder but most don't require it.
It is based on Chinese stock but with so much added. So you get updates quicker on a much better ROM. I'm not going to list the vast number of differences but if you want to read them all, pop over to the Xiaomi EU forum's 11 Ultra's download page for all the info.
EU ROM ram management sucks, nothing I open and I leave without killing it in the background , then I return to it from recent, nothing work, always fresh open. Tried battery management, tried ram management, tried many things, same result

No, you only need to format your storage when you are going from one line to another, such as China to EEA or Xiaomi.eu, but all you need to do for an update is a dirty flash via TWRP or if you are running stock rom, all updates should be relatively seamless, requiring only a simple click to initiate the process and is handled within the OS.

hi currently running on eurom.
there is latest update on eurom when i checked for updates. is it ok if i installed the downloaded updates directly on phone?
or do i need to download it in browser on my pc, then transfer it to phones drive and install the updates thru twrp?

You can do it either way. Personally, I find it quicker on my PC to download the rom and then to copy it to my internal storage, but you can download via OTA if you want as well.

so i downloaded it ony my mi11u, faster download time.
when i click the "check md5 & install" on "updater"
*best to remove the lock's first, else a chinese welcome note on twrp will prompt to input the password, need to change the language first.
it restarts and bootups on twrp. click install and need to search the downloaded "usually in internal storage, with other files and folders, on the bottom since it's a zip file"
install and reboot "system reboot"
done.
I have updated to the latest MIUI Global 13,0,2,0 and I NEED ROOT ACCESS, how do i go about it now?
i know it cant be done via trwp but fastboot...
i downloaded the miui_STARGlobal_V13.0.2.0.SKAMIXM_eecc15ab63_12.0 but there is no boot.img inside??? (that is the rom version i currently have installed)
PLEASE help me root my device
1. Yes and it takes 168 hours to complete and ends with a format. Use official mi unlock tool.
2. There is only one custom ROM. It is the Xiaomi EU ROM and available on that forum or via mifirm.net
3. Safetynet will not pass while on a rooted ROM. Unless you use magisk. My question is why do you need root? The Xiaomi EU ROM passes safteynet and all you banks, gpay etc work fine without root. There is no working twrp on A12, all A12 updates on Xiaomi EU ROM are fastboot.
4. Plenty of guides in this or the Xiaomi EU forum for 11 Ultra but obviously there is always risk in flashing but even when bricked, these can be brought back to life with the help of anyone with an edl account.

Awesome, thank you kindly for that great reply,
2) is that custom Rom any better than stock or has some sort of advantage over stock? Extra features, programs, tweeks...?
This custom rom come pre-rooted?
3) i don't need root for anything in particular, I've always had root on every single Android I've ever owned, once in a blue moon it comes in handy, i do plan on using magisk,
- from memory mine came with Android 11 Global, will twrp work on that?
5) That 1 custom rom, does it receive updates or voids warranty? And it is possible to revert back to stock but not downgrade Android versions...?

2. We call it "custom" but it just stock miui China rom of 11U with some mod for working in global area
As u know if u unlock phone, some app will not work normally (like banking, Google pay, Netflix...) they already fix almost all of the problem like that. And every default app can be uninstall easily (but xiaomi already have the way to uninstall thêm too).
And it isn't pre-rooted
3. If u dont want to do anything with root, i recommend u to stay away from it.
A11 is working fine with twrp, u can find official twrp in forums
MIUI 13 (A12) isn't.

You mentioned if I unlock my phone some apps won't work... You mean if I root my phone right? There's magisk hide that Helps to bypass these restrictions...
If there's no custom ROMs or special mods then I don't see the point in installing twrp? Unless there's advantages of twrp on Xiaomi phones?
Can I root the current stock firmware that's installed now on my device ?

You mentioned if I unlock my phone some apps won't work... You mean if I root my phone right? There's magisk hide that Helps to bypass these restrictions...
If there's no custom ROMs or special mods then I don't see the point in installing twrp? Unless there's advantages of twrp on Xiaomi phones?

Some app check unlock status, not just root status
Yes
Yes, can root without twrp, just need to find correct boot.img file
Global miui 13 - link added -awesome update
Update: this is only for mi pilot program accounts, I didn't know that I am part of pilot program until this update. Many people are commenting in here without reading comments that says it is for pilot accounts so I had to add this update...

Thanks, so is There any advantages of twrp on Xiaomi?
And lastly, once rooted, can I reverted to stock again by flashing original Global firmware?

with me, i just need twrp when i want to use xiaomi.eu rom, they usually realease recovery zip file for update rom. But now still no working twrp with A12, so they realease fastboot rom, and i dont want to use xiaomi.eu rom anymore so i dont care about twrp
yes. u can always comeback to stock with flash fastboot rom (or recovery rom with working twrp)
i prefer fastboot rom because i just think it's cleaner than recovery (LOL)
And with fastboot method, u can relock bootloader if u want, just need to carefully pick the right rom of your phone original. (eg: global unit can only relock using global rom, eea with eea rom, CN with CN rom)
I have updated to the latest MIUI Global 13,0,2,0 and I NEED ROOT ACCESS, how do i go about it now?
i know it cant be done via trwp but fastboot...
i downloaded the miui_STARGlobal_V13.0.2.0.SKAMIXM_eecc15ab63_12.0 but there is no boot.img inside??? (that is the rom version i currently have installed)
PLEASE help me root my device
PS_ i have seen a few posts saying that magisk hide no longer works???

I will never use that rom, because it isn't official
If I want custom rom, i will go for xiaomi.eu
And here i talk about official fastboot rom, thanks
You're misinformed.
They offer the official rom, all they do is to pack it in a fastboot installer.
Again, official rom, repacked. I'd advise a fact check because you are active in answering people, but your knowledge is obviously partial.

whatever, i just dont care
I only trust what i think i can trust, not just few online random people
And dont judge people because u think u are better
ok, device is rooted... THANK YOU!
If I unlock and root my phone, it's possible rollback all to the original status? Turn back locked and unrooted? Or maybe just unroot?
