Hi.
Has anyone of You still have the stock MIUI on Your Mi4 LTE-CT(2/16) ? I have it, so it probably needs to be exactly this model.
I need this for MIUI9 installation. I had my MIUI8 Global ROM backup, but I accidentally deleted it. I want to restore this backup through TWRP, then install MIUI9. I know it's working (at least it was working on my own backup), because I did it before.
I don't want to use MiFlash & doing allover this stuff with flashing TWRP, etc.
Best regards,
Thank You for help.
Hi. I'm on android 9 and it took several weeks and it does not stop convincing me and I have a backup made of MIUI from TWRP. If it was restored, will it work or do I have to do the whole process of flashing to MIUI?
Thanks in advance
Hi All
Wondering if one of you would be kind enough to do me a step by step guide to get me from my current position to having Pixel Rom installed?
Current position:
I had Chinese Rom and I unlocked the bootloader. I then followed one set of instructions to install global EU. Upon following the instructions I could not use Magisk at the time as bootlooped. So just flashed the EU Rom which I am currently using. So TWRP and EU Rom but no root. I am now on PFAEUXM. I received an OTA which installed and now I am on version Global 10.2.26. but now I do not have TRWP installed.
I do know a lot has since happened with TWRP since I did this about a month ago and they are more stable and encryption works etc.
Please could anyone do tell me how to get to Pixel Rom from here...Also I'm guessing I'm gonna lose all data or can I still install Magisk at this point and then install TB to save data?
Any help is greatly appreciated...many thanks

Follow the instructions in this post as I made a flashable vendor of global v10.2.9.0 to boot the latest PE : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79693496&postcount=107
I was running the same 10.2.24(10.2.26 would not harm a thing) and twrp 3.3.1-30.
You can flash that twrp if not already on it. Backup all data because you'll loose all. You could install magisk 19.3 and TB before flashing PE to backup - up to you.
Procedure : follow instructions in my post.
Afaik this should work for all.
Let me know if you succeed.
If anything might go wrong or being stuck in fastboot without twrp unable to boot, have the fastboot rom ready to flash with miflash (mind to check the ''clean all'' before flash ) : https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/ or https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/cepheus/ (I'm using the fastboot version v10.2.24 in case of)
That's awesome thank you!
Just to clarify one point..You say back up all data? Do you mean whilst i am in recovery?
Equally if I install TWRP again...say 3.3.1-30 is there any bugs still in the sense that unless you reboot after flashing recovery (or something similar like that) you will lose recovery...or do I just go ahead and install Magisk via flashing? If so do I just reboot afterwards to system or to recovery again?
Many thanks again for taking the time to respond
X1 ii andoird 11 has come up for sometime, is there a Twrp for A11 that can backup and restore phone?
Recently just updated from A10 to A11 58.1.A.5.55 rooted, hope to backup & restore with Twrp.
Sadly, I don't think there is any working custom recovery for this phone on Android 11. I think our best hope is orange fox. See https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...fox-recovery-project-for-xperia-1-ii.4224247/

Yes, for the time being, orangefox recovery is what I use(NG for backup &restore). Hope to have full backup & restore function.

Not long ago, I just came across this post. But I haven't had time to test it yet. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-unofficial-twrp-3-5-2-for-xperia-1-ii.4279601/
Hi guys, I bought my Xiaomi 11 ultra via an exporter almost 6 months ago and I have been using it happily.
I updated to MIUI 13.0.9 recently based on the phone OTA updates and I have been experiencing issues with dark mode and notifications. Some apps don't show notifications despite me disablling MIUI battery saver and enabled auto start.
Been browsing this forum for awhile and reading all the guides but can't seem to find one that allows me to root and swap to Global ROM without losing my data.
I have tons of pictures and data in my phone that I don't want to lose.
Can anyone be so kind to point me the directions?
Regards,
James
Simplest and only way, LOSE YOUR DATA!!!
The other thing you can do is back your data up over cloud (google or Xiaomi) and then restore your phone once rom has changed
Can the unlock bootloader / flashing of the global ROM or eu rom work with the latest version of CN ROM?

Global rom still 12.x so if u want to flash from CN 13.x to global 12.x U must change some line in fastboot file so can downgrade rom
EU ROM seems like it's on MIUI 13.0 already. Would you recommend me unlocking bootloader and flashing MIUI 13 EU ? I'm backing up my phone now, just a little worried about my Google authenticator and my other crypto defi wallet like metamask and etc .

EU rom is china rom with some mode to make it global. And miui 13 stil has alot of bug (im using it 1-2 months) and i will change back to global rom soon
With me, eu rom sometimes got so laggy, refresh rate suddenly change to very slow value. Never met it in global rom.
Unlocked and flash another rom is a must do thing if u dont live in china. So u can try global or EU, what do u feel better. I come from eu to global, then try eu 13.x and now really want to fall back to global now

I would also recommend you to use Swift Backup for App / Messages / Call logs / WiFi PW backups. It works for most of the Apps so that you don't loose anything. Usually with Banking apps the restore doesn't really work. But there is usually also no data to keep with it. I always copy the Download and DCIM folder directly to my Laptop and after local backup also the full Swift Backup folder. Then I'm ready to wipe. I do that on a regular base (every 4-6 weeks) as the daily updates of CN rom sometimes make the phone a bit unstable.
Don't forget that your phone will be wiped once you unlock the bootloader.
when you unlock your bootloader there is no other option then format. It happens without asking it is just mandatory. Like @RoughNeck1971 says... i also use Swift to backup and copy DCIM directly to laptop
Question though, I'm now currently on MIUI 13.0.9 on CN ROM through OTA ever since I got it out from the box.
Am I able to flash to global ROM from MIUI 13 CN to Global ROM MIUI 12?
I read that OTA doesn't work anymore after changing ROMs,
So the propery way is to
1. Unlock bootloader,
2. Flash Global ROM with TWRP
3. Then full back up with TWRP whenever I want to update it to a new version of global stable ROM?
Sorry guys I haven't been in xda for a long time, since the times HTC sensation was released I meddle with some roms and radio updates.
Appreciate your guidance.
Regards,
James

First of all - when you go back to MIUI 12 on Android 11 then TWRP is the right way to go as it supports it. Then you don't have to care about changing line in fastboot for downgrade. But as long as you have TWRP installed instead of the xiaomi recovery you can't do OTA. But you can just "update" with the new full rom version.
If you should do a full backup with TWRP - can't really say as I never tried to restore a full backup. I wouldn't rely on it to be honest. Better to have everything backed up and do a new install if there are issues.

I am really new to custom roms after using iPhone for a really long time and forgot how to root the phone.
I am fresh on CN ROM, on 13.0.9.
Can someone verify or guide if the steps I listed are correct?
0. Backup all files
1. Unlock "bootloader" with Mi Flash Unlock
2. Install ADB and flash TWRP Image
3. Install Global ROM (just to clarify, i can go back from 13.0.9 CN to Global MIUI 12 right?)
4. Check with Magisk that I am indeed rooted.
5. Restore backup from Swift / PC / Xiaomi Backup
You had it right. But you need to keep in mind that it takes usually 7 days until your bootloader will get unlocked! Sou you "apply" for it and then the counter starts from 168 hours to 0. Only then it will be unlocked. Unfortunately there is no way to get around that.
Hi guys, is it possible to flash the 512GB variant with a EU/Global rom or this can be done with a 256GB variant only?
You will lose data. You must format when you change ROM branch. I have Xiaomi EU ROM on my 11 512 Ultra now but did have global. Storage size doesn't affect ROM installation.

But he is now at miui 13, so he must change fastboot file to rollback to miui 12 fastboot rom first
Then unlock, flash twrp and do everything else
Ah - OK. I understood that you have no problem installing Android 11 when you have TWRP running. Only to install Android 12 via TWRP has issues.

You must format data when changing ROM branches. This due to possible partition differences between them. You may end in a boot loop until you do format.
