Hi all,
So over the last day I have decided to install twrp and flash a new rom on my Chinese Mi9. Previously I have locked the bootdoader and installed the global rom. I have adb set up correctly and all relevant PC drivers.
So this is what I did and the problems I encountered. Hoping I can get some feedback as to what may have happened.
1 - Installed TWRP (mauronofrio) then it would get stuck on splash screen. Was told to install TWRP (LR.Team/wzsx150) which I did and it worked. I formatted and wiped my drive to get rid of encryption.
2 - I flashed EU rom (after editing script) using TWRP (wzsx150) then after install it would get stuck in bootloop.
3 - I installed TWRP (mauro) then installed EU rom and success, everything worked well. But I found with this EU rom, most of my apps would not install from play store or my Mi restore would not work, there were apps everywhere. Also EU rom was very buggy flashed it again and still the same issues so decided to go back to global rom. Too many apps would crash for no reason and even clearing cahce/data in app settings would not fix it.
4 - I flashed global rom on TWRP (mauro) and installed fine. But when restarted phone it got stuck in bootloop and couldn't get out of there. Had to use Miflash to flash the rom and start from scratch. I now lost TWRP and got Mi recovery back because of this.
5 - I flashed TWRP (mauro) again and tried global rom once again, flashed magisk etc and once installed rom, the thing got stuck in bootloop again.
6 - I now have flashed TWRP (wzsc150) and have installed global rom and it is installing and restoring fine. Once global rom has installed I have lost TWRP. I am also stuck in bootloop and can't get out.
So basically no TWRP works on my phone.
I have managed to flash phone back to original condition with the global rom. On a positive it still works and the storage is unencrypted.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions why my Chinese Mi9 doesn't like TWRP (mauro) and it always gets stuck in bootloop. I just want root access on my phone and google pay to work with unlocked bootloader.
Thank you
This seems to be the theme with 8GB version? I have this version too and makes me worried. I still have about 5 days till unlock insha Allah
These TWRP for Mi 9 are quite beta (no working decryption, no proper backup and restore for example).
If you want to have it, you must use custom rom like EU one.
Stock rom auto re-flashs Mi recovery, period.
BTW, I don't find any unbearable bug the EU rom (most of guys here also have no problem with it), just reinstall the app, backup program such as Titanium backup may introduce a lot of errors...

The apps were fresh installation from Google restore. Even when I deleted them and installed again they still crashed. Gmail, Waze and even checking software version in settings all made it crashed.
So now if I were to install twrp and euro rom again, it shouldn't delete my user data as I no longer need to unencrypt my storage right? Will euro rom just overwrite global rom and keep all my data

Do you think when I installed this rom I never did a wipe and all my apps were there on start up. Do you think this might be a cause of certain apps crashing?

...for example I have EEA variant and lastly using Global Dev rom. I still geting regulary updates even when I have TWRP (mauronofrio) and root. Only before every update I need flash stock boot and recovery. Then update phone and then flash back TWRP and Magisk. All the time working my old Magisk + Xposed (Ed) modules working without reinstalling them. Little out of topic here but just wanted to say

So with a custom rom like EU rom, everytime there is an update do you have to flash back twrp etc? Do the updates work OTA?
Rommco05 said:
I was talking about official Global Developer rom. To answer your questions. With EU you always need reflash Magisk for sure, if also twrp I don't remember. Yes EU have OTA updates but only full packages and need be flashed over twrp so all bloadware is back.

But when you flash back, you don't wipe the cache/data and lose all your stuff do you?
Ok, managed to flash to EU rom with no problems. Works great. Will updating with the updater delete my stuff?

Thank you for all your help with this Ted. It has helped a lot.
So I did the OTA update this morning successfully, but noticed before doing the flash in TWRP, there was a message saying it had to do it that way due to my device been encrypted. That's funny because I have formatted then wiped the drive before installing the rom. Is this a true message?
Always do a full wipe when flashing to a different variant of miui since current twrp has issues on decryption. I also had tons of problems from just resetting only without wiping data. For example flashing to eu from china stable everything worked from just doing factory reset. But google play cannot download any app that has an obb attached for some reason. Most likely problems with file encryption so i did a full wipe now everything works properly.
I'm not able to make TWRP work, its successfully install on terminal and when I reboot and hot volume Up key it bringing me to FASTBOOT mode, and if I do restart system, it and then hold Volume Up key, its again the stock Recovery.
My device is Chinese 8GiB 128GiB. any help will be appreciated. I want to install Xiaomi.eu rom as my current stock Chinese rom with google app giving me horrible battery life, standby battery drain is too bad.

You need to do it quickly.
After successfully installed TWRP in fastboot, hold power button to power off (it will restart instead of completely off), when the screen gone black, very quickly hold the volume up button, hold it until you see the twrp screen.
If you are not quick enough, the phone will boot up and stock recovery will be automatically intstall back, you have to start over: install twrp again.

My Mi 8 got bricked by the latest MIUI update. I installed the software update from settings and clicked reboot and it booted straight to TWRP (more on that in a bit). I tried rebooting to system but it just went straight back to TWRP. I have unlocked the bootloader and also rooted my phone but as I kept the stock ROM I wouldn't think this would break it. In hindsight, after doing a bit of looking around it seems like people tend to reflash stock.img before updating or something when they've rooted their phone? Wish I'd known that before I clicked update.
I tried flashing a different ROM but when I go to reboot it just says "no OS installed. Are you sure you want to reboot?" and just goes into bootloop stuck on the Mi logo
using fastboot adb tools I can boot it into TWRP (has never worked using the volume and power buttons) and flashing ROMs seems to go okay but reboot says no OS installed and it bootloops, as I said.
I've tried flashing the latest MIUI build for my device, pixel experience, lineage OS and all of them yield the same results. Happy to answer any questions and try out any suggestions that anyone has. I'm really quite desperate!
SOLUTION: I flashed the stock firmware using the xiaomi mi flash tool. This fixed pretty much everything apart from now the camera doesn't work lol

Has anyone installed the PE rom yet? I tried yesterday, following the instructions, and just got a boot loop after flashing the PE recovery rom.
However, the instructions confused me a little...
Flash a recovery on your device by typing (replace <recovery_filename> with the actual filename!):

Should that be 'fastboot flash recovery' ??
Also, I'm not coming from stock but from a custom ROM (riceDroid). Would that make a difference?
Thanks for any (kind) comments

Hey, I ran into the same problem today. If I find a solution, I'll let you know. I would be glad if you share too.
I tried again yesterday to install Pixel Experience, and again it just boot loops when booting into recovery mode. I've now reinstalled stock Miui and will try again.

There no recovery partition so it shouldn't. I'm on this ROM currently and have no problems with installation. The guide says that you need to be on latest global a11 miui (12.5.16.0.RKLMIXM). You didn't miss that?

I've no idea what version of the bootloader I'm on as getprop ro.bootloader returns 'unknown'
But, as I'm on "latest" v13 Miui, I suspect the bootloader is the wrong one. Do I have to downdate to 12.5 before installing PE?
Edit: I've downdated the device to 12.5 RKLMIXM and have flased the PE recovery image, all okay. It's now installing the PE zip, so fingers crossed that's it.
Edit edit: I have PE on my device! Thank you at @xuser_0 for highlighting were I'd gone wrong.
The key @JohanGriman appears to be to ensure your device is not on the latest Miui but the latest 12.5 version.
Is there any instructions on how to install Magisk on this? I've tried to usual ways (via apk and flashing .zip thru adb sideload) but it fails to repack the boot image. Will a manual patch of the boot image and reflash work?
Edit: I've been able to directly patch the PE recovery image (as used in the installation process) using the Magisk apk on my device. Can I now flash this patched image to the device?
I don't want to try it as other instructions I've found talk about a vbmeta image that needs to be flashed too, and I don't know if that's necesary.... and I don't want to trash my device again!
Just flash it but it will break safetynet. To fix safetynet enable Zygisk, add google play services to deny list and install shamiko.

Thanks, that worked perfectly
I was using pixel experience ROM for some time and I tried to update to the latest plus edition. The installation guide recommended full format data and flashing. I did as instructed. Now I'm stuck in booting into TWRP recovery. I looked up a few kinds of stuff and none of them worked. Is anyone else facing the same problem? has anyone got a working fix? I tried removing the TWRP folder, re-flashing TWRP with TWRP and orange fox recover, and then flashing ROM. non helped. got a broken phone now any help is appreciated.

AOSP roms can be under ANDROID 11 or 12 or 13.

The first version is in A11 and since August in A12

I had A12 then. I flashed pixel experience 12.1 on May 28(PixelExperience_Plus_raphael-12.1-20220528-1605-OFFICIAL.zip) and it went thru just fine. Now the updates of 8/20 bricked the phone.
After format data, I get the Readonly info screen, I swipe to allow modification, side loads the latest download PixelExperience_Plus_raphael-12.1-20220820-1448-OFFICIAL.zip, and restart, but back to TWRP recovery.

Wipe everything, system, vendor, internal storage, dalvik, cache via advanced wipe, then flash firmware and vendor or if your rom has included firmware then just flash the rom directly. Try to boot into OS if it still bring back to twrp then again repeat the above steps and this time flash stock vendor and firmware from mi website and try to boot into OS.

yes using the team win version of TWRP. Used Orange Fox recovery. ( nice look and feel and features btw). But they didn't work either. What could I try more? Could I be able to revert back to MIUI stock ROM ? let me know if you have good resources. Thank you very much for your time and efforts

now that I think, I think I did a blunder, thinking I was in A12. Can you point me to A12 firmware for Redmi k 20 pro? I"m looking into https://miuirom.org/phones/xiaomi-12, but they seem to be recovery and not firmware. I'm not sure if recovery comes with firmware. As I need to format to install, will the firmware stay or not?

Why bothering to manually search here and there for official ROMs
Install the app:
MIUI Downloader - Apps on Google Play
MIUI upgrade app for Mi users.
play.google.com
and the app will show you links to download the latest Global, EEA, etc, zip/recovery or tgz/fastboot, or you can scroll through the older versions and pick an older if you wish
Btw, latest are MIUI 12.5, A11 - there are no official A12 ROMs for Mi 9/Redmi K20 line of models
Even if they receive MIUI 13, it will be (for some already released, but eg China only, etc) it will be A11
Same issue, I guess this is it for me. Time to buy a new phone rather than accidentally losing data from time to time with custom ROMs. I wonder if they didn't know such issue exists before releasing it to the public.
Hi everyone...
I've updated my phone from MIUI 13 (stable global rom) to MIUI 14 via OTA, installed Magisk via the OTA option, and then reboot the phone in Magisk.
Then, the phone keeps showing the boot up screen (black ground with a white MI icon only) for a while, and shows a screen with following options: reboot, wipe data, connect to MI assistance, and safe mode.
I tried reboot and safe mode, but both return to the screen with 4-options above.
Now my phone got stuck in the bootloop.
What should I do? Does anyone encounter the same problem and fixed?
Thank you.
My phone's details:
- Xiaomi 12 pro Chinese model
- Bootloader unlocked
- MIUI global stable rom
- Magisk v25.2 installed
- No TWRP

At first no, flash the same rom currently on the phone but if that does not work you will have to format the data.
