So what do guys think about the new installer and do you think it would support our device
The installer seems to be a great opportunity to anyone who does not know anything about flashing ROMs. It makes it accessible to everyone, but doesn't that mean that there will be more people who don't know what they're doing?

That probably doesn't cover all device specific installation methods. You need to unlock the bootloader.

I have installed cm recovery and not twrp..why?

I don't know why. You should know what you have done. Read and follow instructions and everything will be fine.

After an update to last cm, cm recovery overwrite twrp. Is there a way to have twrp again?
bgcngm said:
That is probably because you enabled an option in Developer options, namely "Update Cyanogen recovery". Again, read instructions and you will know how to flash TWRP.

Could you explain me how to do step by step, because if it's too complicated, I will remain on cm recovery.

This is offtopic. Google the instruction, there are a lot of sites available which can help, I am sure XDA has a dedicated thread. If you do not like to read search on YouTube.
This is what I found after searching 5 seconds. http://www.androidbeat.com/2015/12/how-to-install-cyanogenmod-cm-13-android-device/
Now please back to topic!

Cmon man, like, there's a whole guide of flashing TWRP out there. Even in this Mi5 forum.
You should really put an effort to read and search before you start asking retorical question in a wrong thread....

You have to install TWRP, we have guide on how to do that in this section. Then just wipe stuff and flash this zip (+gapps).

Well you're in a development thread asking for recovery installation instructions for a lot of devices people wouldn't help at all in this section!

I know, infact I'm sorry for going off topic. Fortunely, I solved the problem
As stated on the topic I'm a newbie in the world of installing new roms, etc on android phones and I haven't done it before cause I'm a bit scared by the whole thing (I don't want to end up with a brick), I managed to install a custom recovery system on an old samsung and a new ROM, yet with Xiaomi even if it might be the same looks a bit different, so before proceeding to do anything with my current phone I have a couple of newbie questions:
-Can FastBoot be broken somehow?
-Can I use ROMs of other devices (Besides of the Redmi 4x)?
-Can I somehow break the phone irremediably?
-If so, what should I avoid to prevent it?
-Is a custom recovery necessary, or can I use default Xiaomi's one?
-What's the best recovery?
-If I install recovery via fast boot, do I need to root my device?
-What tools should I look forward to use on linux (Ubuntu)?
Those are my questions for now, if you wanna say anything else that should be taken into consideration, feel free, also if you wanna share some useful guide.
First off a little bit of advice don't ask so many questions no one is likely to answer you because unless the person is really bored and has an hour to spare he will not answer you format your question and ask just a couple of questions that are most vital to what you are doing. Also do some research on your own. Your more out to get some help if someone can see you have put forth a little effort. Cheer's

Ok Here you go..
-Can FastBoot be broken somehow?
don't use fastboot.. instead use custom recovery for anything.. wether you're reverting back to MIUI from custom ROM or anything else. Use Fastboot option to Flash recovery only. then your FastBoot will be safe

-Can I use ROMs of other devices (Besides of the Redmi 4x)?
No, Surely a NO!

-Can I somehow break the phone irremediably?
Yes, you may if you dont follow the set of instruction for performing in Fastboot/Recovery. But dont worry a few research can UNBRICK your phone.

-If so, what should I avoid to prevent it?
Read Instruction carefully, if going to custom ROM wipe all partition like data, cache, system or you will face bootloop(Phone stuck at bootlogo) also Unlock your bootloader in order to perform all the dirty tasks

-Is a custom recovery necessary, or can I use default Xiaomi's one?
100% necessary for many customizations.. even for rooting now-a-days
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
-What's the best recovery?
TWRP Recovery & use only which the Redmi 4X Forum provides and follow instructions carefully as stated earlier

-If I install recovery via fast boot, do I need to root my device?
No Recovery does not requires Rooted devices.. or say Rooting needs recovery but recovery doesnt need rooting

Use Windows bruh ! don't know much regarding this as im a Windows user.

Late reply is due to the thread problem. Anyone could have answered quick if the Redmi 4X thread was made earlier.

This seems to be a good phone. I don't have experience with realme phones so excuse the questions:
how is unlock policy for realme?
how are chances for costume rom development, since the color os seems to be EN/CN language only?
Thanks for answers

I will believe a developer community emerge when they release the kernel source for the Realme X2 Pro*since it is the flagship. I have little faith though
Actually, realme has sent some devices to developer in the past. So I guess they are pretty open with custom development and that's a good sign already. I hope there would be a lot of custom ROM for the device since it is a great device but color OS might be not everyone's cup of tea
according to nathan30's reply on the "Little feedback" thread "project treble is available but the partition layout is only A and not A/B " so we might be able to flash GSI (Generic System Image) to get clean Android experience really soon

The GSI is available, but we will need to unlock bootloader (and flash costume recovery) in order to be able to flash the GSI

That's the exact reason I wrote it in parenthesis, I wasn't sure about it.. but I do think that opening the bootloader is a must, correct me if I'm wrong. Have you ever managed to flash (unofficial) ROM via ADB while the bootloader is locked? Is GSI different from any other costume ROM?
Let's say we flashed a gsi, then how can we get back to stock rom?

Will this rom transform the Chinese version into the European version?

I want to make a European version out of my Chinese version as well, but the link you are mentioning will simply re-flash the Chinese ROM onto the Chinese phone. It's useful when the phone doesn't boot anymore or if you have other issues with the phone.
AFAIK, Realme has not made the European ROM available for download yet. Once/if they do, then you can use the above tutorial and simply use the European ROM source.

Because you can't flash zip roms (ozip in our example) with Mi Flash.
And Oppo does not have any EDL rom in regular format anymore, .ops or .ofp format.
So you can't do anything unless you have fastboot rom and and a working fastboot with unlocked bootloader.
So don't

Lineage os 20.0
Couldn't find your phone on Lineage's website, must be an unofficial build. Could you post a link to the website where you downloaded it from. I really just need to know the steps you used to install the custom ROM.

The exact steps needed to flash lineage os recovery are different for every phone. I have been searching, but I can't find any website that talks about installing lineage os 20 on the Realme GT Master Edition. Could you please post a link to the steps you used so I know exactly what you did to install lineage os recovery on your phone.
