Updates via TWRP not working anymore!

please help: since 9.5 stable, updates via TWRP on my MiMix suddenly stopped working.
Error:
"E3004: This package ist for "lithium" devices; this is a " ".
Updater process ended with error 7 Error installing zip file '/sdcard/Download/......'
Neither download nor the MIUI Updater work. TWRP is 3.0.2-0.
Thanks for you help!

I'm on Oreo (15.1 Lineage OS) and use twrp-3.2.1-raupe-blunden-15.1-updated.img perfectly fine.

Thanks for your help! The flash worked, but now I'm getting a message "the device has been shut down unexpectedly" at the bottom of the screen every second... :- (
The same happens with 8.9.20...
MIUI 10.0 works, but battery drainage is horrendous (probably due to this error).
Again, thanks for your help!

OTA Update with Magisk

I've Mi 9T Pro with Global MIUI 10.3.3.0 and magisk installed (i patched and flashed the boot image). I don't have a custom recovery installed.
Now i see that the last version of firmware is EMUI 11.0.3.0. My phone notify me only the OTA for the MIUI 10.3.4.0, so how should i update the phone without breaking or bootlooping? I supposed:
1) Flashing stock boot image of 10.3.3.0 (is the right way to remove magisk? I would reinstall later)
2) OTA to 10.3.4.0
3) Maybe OTA to 11.0.3.0 or installing manually
4) Flash Magisk patched boot image of 11.0.3.0.
Is the correct way? I'm missing some step? I don't want to reset the whole phone..
Thanks in advance.
Someone can help me?

If the update MIUI 11 is not shown from your system:
• Download the correct recovery ROM from here[/b];
• Put it in the folder "downloaded_rom" in the root of your internal memory;
• Select local update and then the ROM you placed in before;
• Install Magisk with the method you prefere (I suggest to modify the boot.img from a fastboot ROM).

But what about the current rom with Magisk installed, should i remove it first? Can i overwrite the boot image?
Flashing the full firmware (about 2.5gb) will erase my data partition?
Grazie.

It's not needed to uninstall Magisk before, because when you'll install the update through recovery, it will overwrite the boot partition. With the stock recovery you should be able to keep all your data and settings, but I suggest you to perform anyway a backup! Just in case.

Thanks again for the info. But just to be secure, here is reported the way to apply OTA with Magisk: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tutorials.md
There talk about uninstalling Magisk and restoring boot image, A/B Partitions, non A/B Partitions, and i don't know which partitions my device have. Moreover it talk about to don't modify the /system but i don't remember if i touched something, maybe the build.prop...
But, based on your previous response, i deduce that this instructions are valid only if i flash incremental update. Instead, if i flash the full rom there should not be problems, i'm right?

Do not care about A/B partitions, as the Mi 9T Pro is a single partition device. So no problem related to installing files/updates to both partitions
Anyway, if the system detects that you have Magisk installed, simply uninstall it from the Magisk Manager, than proceed to the update

Recovery ROMs must be flashed in the recovery and have .zip file extension; fastboot ROMs must be flashed with MiFlash tool and have .tar.gz file extension.
First of all, identify you device (global, EU, China, Indian...) looking in your device information. You have to remember these two letters in the label of the ROM:
E.g. PFKEUXM, that indicate your phone vendor, while the first letter indicates the Android version.
In few words, you need the recovery ROM. You'll need the fastboot ROM if you want to install Magisk without TWRP (search in Mi 9T Pro forum for: "Install Magisk without TWRP") or if you want to perform a clean flash with MiFlash tool.
Last thing: you need to download the ROM, not the firmware.

Thanks. I've the European version, PFKEUXM. Anyway yes, after the upgrade i want flash Magisk without TWRP. With previous rom i've extracted the boot image from the update archive and patched with Magisk.

- Tried to install 11.0.3.0 with local update from updater but it say "flash to this stable version is not allowed".
- Tried to install 10.3.4.0 with local update from updater, the phone reboot in recovery and start flashing but at 1% say "update.zip is corrupted". I tried also to download and install this update downloading directly from the updater but same thing happen.
I've uninstalled Magisk from Magisk Manager app: i clicked Uninstall and then Complete Uninstall, not Restore images.
Any suggestion?

The updater app can only install updates for the same region. Your OP suggests you have a global phone, but it looks like you're trying to flash an EEA update. Currently 11.0.1 is the latest global version.

OK, yes you have the EU version already.
I don't know for sure, but I guess it won't jump from an Android 9 - MIUI 10 ROM to an Android 10 - MIUI 11 ROM.
You could try updating to the last MIUI 10 build first, and if that works, see if it will then update from the last 10 build to MIUI 11.

Couldn't update MIUI for official rom update

Hello.
I unlocked bootlader. Then rooted with magdisk and then repaired imei and TRWP. Now it is MIUI 11.0.4.0 stable.
But it show s v11.0.5.0.QJZMIXM stable update. I click dowlonad update. After it finishes downloading, i click reboot and it goes to TRWP . I install the rom it downloaded but it give error:
zig signature verification failed. error installing zip file cache recovery block map zip file is corrupt error installing fip file​
And when it restarts, it says
Couldn't upadte MIUI
What can I do now? Unroot? Please help
I would try with stock recovery instead.
Flash the recovery partition image of your actual ROM and then try upgrade MIUI with normal OTA procedure.

Can't upload to MIUI 13

Hi, guys, so I'm having problems trying to update my phone.
Everytime i try to update directly from my phone, when the phone reboots it gets stuck on a bootloop. When I try to flash the MIUI 13 image from my PC, i get the "NV data is corrupted" message, can someone help me with this one?
I unlocked my bootloader, and try to flash the global version. I know the original one is the china version...
The phone mode is M2004J19C.

Question Poco M3 Pro 5G (camellian) Is there any way to flash chinese rom on my device?

Fastboot doesn't work. It reboots to recovery and says "NV data is corrupted". I really want to try chinese rom on my device.
