Guys I ran into some trouble
I flashed the the eui 5.9 and now the battery is draining faster than stock rom.
I need to get back to stock rom. I tried downloading the stock firmware from dev-labs and installing the stock recovery .I changed the zip name into update and flashed it through the stock recovery but it's not working . It ended with some error .
I am Unable to flash through twrp too.
Can anyone help me ?

got the solution ,
flash stock reovery first , then put stock rom in root directory of phone and rename the rom as update.zip
then from default file manager of phone open that firmware , then you will see update option , after that it will get installed

I don't see the S3 on the list, I think I'm supposed to download the Le 2(Qualcomm) but the version is 5.9. The person who post this thread said he has problem with 5.9, is there anywhere I can download 5.8, which was installed on my phone before I root it.

don't download dev lab version.. It has **** ton of chinese apps that you cannot uninstal.. go here http://forum.le.com/in/eui_list.html. download which version you prefer (16s is stable nd 19s is buggy) download it.
for stock recovery-
rename the rom to update.zip and flash if it does not work unlock your bootloader and instal TWRP
for TWRP-
1) open the rom with winrar -> go to META-INF -> com-> google ->android -> open 'updater-script' using notepad ++
2) remove first 2 line of code and save
3) go to twrp. (if it asks pwd cancel and swipe wipe-> advance dalvik, data, system, cache, ( internal storage if twrp asks for pwd)
4) connect to pc, copy the edited stock ROM to LE2
5) restart enjoy
(or)
if le2 is not shown in pc
4) go to advanced -> adb sideload-> swipe to start adb
5) in pc copy the rom to adb folder -> start command window there ->type this
Code:
adb sideload S2_X526-OS-OP-IIXOSOP5801910121S-5.8.019S.zip
(or the name you assign to it) restart
Errors i saw
A) Status 7 Error
1)wipe-> same as above -> flash @codeworkx sir's 19s bootloader from http://eu.host.erwanleboucher.fr/?dir=codeworkx/lineage/s2/bootloaders
2) thank him
3) instal ROM
B) FAILED (remote: Partition flashing is not allowed) in TWRP

[Guide][Redmi 7A] TWRP, Root with Magisk, Custom ROM [GSI][Pie]

Hello,
I finally managed to install a custom GSI Rom with TWRP and Magisk on my Redmi 7A. And I want to share a detailed guide for everyone who is struggling to do the same. Tested with MIUI 10.2.5.0 Global. Cannot guarantee for other versions.
WARNING:
You need to backup your data before installing. I am not responsible for any damage or loss that might occur. Proceed at your own risk.
Prerequisites:
- Your bootloader must be unlocked (https://en.miui.com/unlock/)
- GSI Rom of your choice. Only a64 A/B (arm32_binder64_ab). No other GSIs will do.
- ADB and Fastboot
- patched boot.img
- TWRP recovery
- vbmeta.img
- Magisk
- Permissiver_v4.zip
- Certification patch
- Treble Overlay file
- GApps (if needed)
Installation guide:
1. Download the files.
GSI Rom:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development
I installed Lineage OS 16 GSI (lineage-16.0-20191017-UNOFFICIAL-treble_a64_bvN). Everything works, except for auto-brightness.

GApps (for Lineage OS 16 GSI choose 'ARM' & '9.0')
https://opengapps.org/
2. Unpack Minimal ADB and Fastboot to C:\ drive of your PC
3. Rename patched boot file to boot.img
4. Rename custom recovery file to recovery.img
5. Place boot.img, recovery.img, vbmeta.img in ADB folder
6. Turn off your phone.
7. Reboot phone to fastboot mode by holding Volume-down button while pressing On/Off-button. You know you are in fastboot mode when you see a cartoon bunny.
8. Connect the phone to your PC via USB.
9. On your PC open command prompt and nagivate to ADB folder, or open command prompt window directly from right-click menu in ADB folder; just right-click on empty space and choose 'Open command prompt here'
10. In command prompt, enter the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Code:
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
11. Now reboot to recovery: Press Volume-Up button on your phone and enter the following in command prompt:
Code:
fastboot reboot
or just turn off the phone and reboot by holding Volume-Up and On/Off button (release On/Off when phone turns on, keep holding Volume-Up until you see screen of TWRP recovery)
12. Swipe to allow modifications. If TWRP asks for PIN, enter the PIN code you set for your unlock screen.
13. In TWRP choose Wipe > Advanced Wipe. Select 'Dalvik / ART cache', 'System', 'Data', 'Cache'. Then Swipe to Wipe.
14. Move the downloaded GSI file (*.img) to your phone. (Simply drag and drop in your PC's file manager to SD-card/memory of phone).
15. Flash the GSI Rom: In TWRP choose 'Install' > 'Install Image' and select the GSI. If you put the GSI on your external SD-card you first need to choose Select Storage > Micro SD card. After choosing the GSI file, at Select Partition to Flash Image choose System Image. Then Swipe to confirm Flash.
16. Reboot to Recovery
17. Move Magisk zip and Permissiver_v4.zip to your phone.
18. In TWRP choose Install. Select the Magisk zip-file on your phone and then Swipe to confirm flash.
19. Flash Permissiver_v4.zip the same way.
20. Flash GApps if needed
21. Flash Certification_Patch.zip.
22. Go back and choose Reboot > System
23. Fix big rounded corners on home screen:
Once you are in Android and in case you experience big ugly round corners around your home screen, put treble-overlay-xiaomi-redmi7a.apk in System > Overlay directory. You need a file manager with root access if you want to do this from within Android.
24. Fix brightness adjustment issue (no auto-brightness though):
Enable USB debugging in Developer Options menu. To make developer menu appear in Android, you need to tap 7 times on Android's 'build number'.
Now open command prompt from ADB folder on your PC while your phone is still connected via USB. Enter the following:
Code:
adb shell
su
setprop persist.sys.qcom-brightness $(cat /sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight/max_brightness)
You need to allow adb shell to get root access or the command will throw an error. Your phone should show a confirmation dialog when entering the command. If it doesn't show the dialog, open Magisk Manager app and give root access for Shell in Superuser menu.
25. Enjoy!

Can you please help me have magisk in official rom or stock rom?

3. In TWRP, go to Wipe > Format Data > "yes"
4. In TWRP, flash Magisk zip
5. Reboot to System
Note: You will lose all your data on the phone. Do a backup of your personal stuff before proceeding.

Somehow there is ver 10.2 and 10.4 missing 10.3 which is the one which I have.
What should I do?

Thanks very much for the detailed instructions!
I got it working with lineage-17-arm
Got the beta opengapps from...
https://sourceforge.net/projects/opengapps/
Before copying the treble-overlay-xiaomi-redmi7a.apk file, I had to type...
chmod a+r treble-overlay-xiaomi-redmi7a.apk
mount -o rw,remount /

I followed the steps, and i got stuck on Redmi Logo, My bootloader is unlocked.
Tried to install 2 ROMs without success.
In the second ROM (Lineage 17) when i tried to install gapps, it gave me an error saying insufficient space.
i had to get back to Miui.

Before installing gapps, after installing the rom. Go to TWRP > wipe > "system" > repair > resize fs > reboot. Then install gapps.
It didn't boot after I installed gapps on lineage 16, but it was ok on lineage 17.

Redmi 7A Miui 10.3 Patcher file missing?
Does anyone know where I could find patched file for Miui 10.3, because there is only for ver 10.2 and 10.4, and I can't update miui on my phone that's why I'm asking. Thanks.

in TWRP, after instaling the ROM and trying to install gaps, or whatever I get:
Failed to mount '/system_root' (invalid argument)
I also can't mount system partition in mounting options.
What does it means?

.
After installing TWRP successfully I tried with both roms: lineage-16.0-20191017-UNOFFICIAL-treble_a64_bvN and lineage-17.0-20191117-UNOFFICIAL-treble_a64_bvN
it fails to install any apps (Magisk, permissiver, G-Apps, etc.).
Example from Magisk:
- Mounting /system
! Cannot mount /system
- Unmounting partition
...
Failed to mount "system/root" (invalid argument)
When I now try to reboot again into Recovery TWRP says "No OS Installed".
any help is appreciated!

Hello!,
it's possible with MIUI 11 (PCMINXM) ? or i need to roll back to MIUI10?

Camera records corrupted videos
Any idea how to make camera record videos? Photos work, but when I try to record videos, it seems to be recording, but when I try to play it back it seems corrupted (e.g.: showing length of the video to be over 104h long - so seems like indexing problem). Tried to play with camera_config.xml at root/vendor/etc/camera but no luck so far... :crying:
P.S.: The problem seems to be independent of the app used - Open Camera with Camera2 API enabled does not change a thing.

Same thing with mine, first time i did solve it installing gapps again, but a few days later the problem got back. I´m about to update to last firmware and see if it solves the issue, ill comment later.

Don't do that - it's too much work.
Fixed mine by editing camera_config.xml so it has only the config for the model and vendor of the camera that it actually has been fitted with. Now using Open Camera with Camera2 API everything works fine. :victory:
P.S.: So the cause of the problem really seems to be the conflict of different camera configs within the configuration file.

brother please! can you tell me how to do it? like a mini guide, i dont have magisk nor root on my phone. do i need to root it?
would appriciate it so much!!

TWRP recovery
https://www.mediafire.com/file/irntn5ccdiguuuu/TWRP-20191023-3.3.1.0-pine.img/file
- is this the recovery.img?

Hi! I'm on Lineage 17.1 March 2020.
If I want to try out Lineage 18 - do I have do go back to MIUI global first before flashing Lineage with fastboot?
Other question:
Actually the internal storage seems to be encrypted. It is shown if I attached it to my PC but only some cryptical filenames are there - no chance to load anything to the internal storage for flashing it with TWRP. Any chances to "decrypt" it or make it "visible"?

i would recommend you to flash MIUI global first, because if somethings goes wrong you can't say whats the reason for the error.
and the encrypted folders can be deleted in twrp by format data -->yes

And now it restart again and again I've tried to rebboot it in custom recovery mood but I 've failed... Is my Smartphone is bricked?? Is there any way to solve this problem??

Yes, this is called a soft brick.
You can solve the problem by doing the following:
-Your bootloader should be unlocked, and I think you've already unlocked it since you were trying to flash a custom ROM.
-You need to have a STOCK ROM of your exact phone model, this is different from TWRP backup, search google for your phone model's stock rom and download.
-You should have Fastboot and ADB installed on your pc.
-boot to fastboot mode (volume up+power, then navigate to fastboot mode).
-connect your phone to pc with USB cable
-open the folder where you have downloaded the minimal adb and fastboot, and open cmd window there with right lick or click cmd-here.exe
-now type fastboot devices, and there should be an alphanumeric code. This means your device is connected. If it is not showing up, try downloading 'minimal adb and fastboot tool' and clicking cmd-here.exe.
-In the stock rom file, there will be a file called 'firmware', and inside it there should be these files: 'system.img' 'recovery.img' 'cache.img' 'userdata.img' 'boot.img'
-Copy all 5 of these, then go to the folder where you have adb and fastboot, go inside that folder( to the place where you have all the adb and fastboot files like adbWinApi.dll). Now paste the 5 files here.
-open cmd window again, and type the following:
1) fastboot erase boot
2) fastboot flash boot boot.img
3)fastboot erase system
4)fastboot flash system system.img
5)fastboot erase recovery
6)fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
7)fastboot erase cache
8)fastboot flash cache cache.img
9)fastboot erase userdata (this may be called data, if fastboot shows an error message, type data instead)
10)fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
and you are done, this should enable you to restore your phone.
If you are unable to access your bootloader, try flashing your stock ROM with SP Flash tool (if you have a mediatek device). You have to have your stock ROM downloaded on your pc. Connect phone to pc via usb, open SP Flash tool, select your firmware file in the topmost box, and in the box beneath that, select the file ending in scatter.txt from your firmware file. Uncheck 'preloader' if it shows up on your screen, then click 'download'. Do not disconnect your phone during the process. When it is finished, there will be a green tick, and you should be able to restart your device.

How To Guide Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra Root Guide (No firmware download needed)

Welcome to my thread. Today I am going to teach you how to install a custom recovery on the device and how to recover the original boot files on the phone to modify them. After modifying those files you will have root on the device. A lot of time and effort has been put into getting this to work. The custom recovery that we will be using is TWRP Recovery.
Note: Modifying your device will void the manufacturer's warranty.
All modifications made to your device are done at your own risk and you claim full
responsibility if the device is damaged or if data is lost.​
First, we are going to enable OEM Unlock and USB Debugging. To do so, you will follow the steps below.
1. Sign in to your Mi Cloud Account on your phone.
2. Tap the “Settings” menu on your Mi 11 Ultra, then tap the “About Phone” option.
3. Tap the “MIUI Version” option several times until you see the “You are now a developer” message.
4. Tap the “Additional Settings” Menu, then tap the “Developer options” on your phone.
5. Activate the “OEM Unlock” option, then activate the “USB Debugging” option on your phone.
6. Tap the “Mi Unlock Status” option.
7. Tap “Agree” and then tap the “Add account and device” option on your phone.
8. Turn off your phone, then press the volume down button and the power button simultaneously to put your phone into fastboot mode.
9. Connect your phone to your PC via a USB cable.
10. Download the miflash ZIP file.
11. Extract the miflash unlock tool ZIP file. You will find the Mi USB Driver.exe file and the miflashunlock.exe file after extracting it.
12. Install the Mi USB driver on your PC.
13. Run the miflashunlock.exe file on your PC.
14. Tap the Agree button and then Sign in with your Mi Account after running the miflash_unlock.exe.
15. Click the “Unlock” button, then click the “Unlock anyway” button within the miflash tool to start the process.
16. Click the “Reboot phone” button after you see the “Unlocked successfully” message.

Additionally, we will need to have TWRP flashed to the recovery of the phone.
1. We will need to have ADB installed on the computer so download the 15 Second ADB Installer.
2. Run the ADB-Setup.exe.
3. Open a CMD terminal as an Administrator.
4. Type in the command: CD C:/ADB.
5. Type in the command: ADB Devices, make sure that there is a device showing up.
6. Download the TWRP.img to the ADB folder located on C:/ADB.
7. Make sure that you do not have a password or code lock on the device. There can not be any lock on the lock screen.
8. Type the command ADB Reboot Bootloader.
9. Type the command Fastboot Boot TWRP.img.
10. Navigate to the Advanced menu of TWRP and tap on “Install Recovery Ramdisk”.
11. Navigate back to the main menu then tap on Reboot and tap on Recovery.

TWRP image: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ztP266XjxteVk8pxcD7-sD-IxihmODPV?usp=sharing
Now we will copy the three boot files on the phone and make backups.
1. Navigate to Mount on the root menu or TWRP.
2. Select the System Partition and Data partition then go back to the menu.
3. Navigate to Advanced then Terminal.
4. Type the command dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img.
5. Type the command dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot_a of=/sdcard/boot_a.img.
6. Type the command dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot_b of=/sdcard/boot_b.img.
7. After all the commands have been entered you can now exit back to the system by rebooting to the system in the Reboot menu.
8. Next, we will install Magisk on the phone to modify the boot files, download the Magisk.apk file on your phone.
9. Open the apk and install the Magisk.apk on the device. You will have to enable Unknown Sources if you have not already.
10. Open Magisk and select install on the Magisk tab.
11. Under Method tap the Select and Patch a File and select the boot.img file.
12. Press the LET'S GO button after you have selected the file. (Make sure to note down the name of the Output file for each file).
13. Repeat steps 11 and 12 for boot file boot_a.img and boot file boot_b.img.
Downloads:
Magisk: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases
Now we will flash the boot files to the phone and we will be rooted!
1. Copy the files you just made from the storage of the phone under /Internal shared storage/Download/(Filenames) to the ADB folder located on C:/ADB
2. Restart the phone and once the phone screen turns off hold the Volume Down button to boot into fastboot.
3. Now this is where it is very crucial to ensure you know what each file corresponds to for the boot files. Type in the command Fastboot flash boot (Modified file name for boot.img).
4. Type in the command Fastboot Flash Boot_a (Modified file name for boot_a.img).
5. Type in the command Fastboot Flash Boot_b (Modified file name for boot_b.img).
6. Then type the command Fastboot reboot
7. Load Magisk and verify that it is indeed installed.
8. Boom rooted!

I don't get this I rooted much easier by simply flashing magisk.
I downloaded magisk zip
I then booted into fastboot connecting my ohone to the pc
I booted into twrp from fastboot with the command "fastboot boot twrp.img"
From twrp I simply flashed magisk.zip wiped dalvik and ART cache and rebooted the phone
Root done!
My question is now how can I update without loosing data.
I was thinking of installing the new rom via miflashtool without wiping data and then reflash magisk. It should work right?

In my testing I couldn't get my phone to root with Magisk. I haven't tested that but it sounds like it should work.

Look it is super simple, it can be done on every rom with an unlocked bootloader (this must be obvious)
Download the latest magisk.zip file on your phone
Download the compatible TWRP for your device on your computer and put it into your ADB and fastboot folder and rename it "twrp.img" (make sure you replace the file extension with the ".img")
Reboot your phone into fastboot
Connect the phone to the PC
Run the check command "fastboot devices" to check if your device is listed
Then run the command "fastboot boot twrp.img"
Your phone will now boot into twrp recovery and there is no need to flash it and overwrite the original recovery
Now give twrp the permissions to look into your folder by unlocking it at boot (password of pattern depends on what you use normally for your phone)
Now since the twrp is chinese you must change your language into english (3rd button on the right then click on the globe on the up right and select the language you want)
Now go into wipe and wipe manually cache and dalvik
Now go into your system and search for magisk.zip, flash it and wipe again dalvik and cache.
Reboot your phone
Now when you boot you must have magisk through your apps, boot magisk and complete the installation process.
Reboot again and enjoy!

On Xiaomi EU is simpler because it inject twrp itself so you don't need to push start via adb

Ok thanks. I will try it later

On Xiaomi EU you can straight flash the update, wipe dalvik and cache and flash straight away magisk zip on top, rewipe dalvik and cache and reboot to system

I have the Chinese ultra with global rom but if I decide to sale how do I factory reset to do so? thanks ahead and wasn't sure where to post this.

If you want to sell it you must reinstall the original Chinese ROM and relock the bootloader

Hi, xNAPx !
Thank you for this tuto, but i have a problem :/
At this step, twrp is booting straight on the menu, no password asked, and so, no access to data :/
Do you have an idea please ?
(i'm using xiaomi.eu_multi_MI11Pro_MI11Ultra_21.12.8_v12-12-fastboot)

I believe this is a known issue, there is a problem on some versions of twrp with encryption, to me never happened. What kind of screen security do you have on your phone?

A password

You can try 2 things, remove the screen lock protection or inject a different version of twrp, I never had this problem as I boot twrp via adb

Removal of the screen lock resulted as a failure too (same problem than with the screen lock)
I don't know and can't seem to find another twrp for the mi11 Ultra than this one :
