Hello,
I am on Realme UI 2, latested updated. Bootloader is locked. Now I want to unlock bootloader, flash TWRP/OFOX recovery, flast roms.
But there is confusion about flashing roms from Rui1 kernel & Rui2 kernal, Andoid 10 & 11. Please provide link to the guide how to do it and how to flash roms from Android 11 to Android 12 and vice versa.

So finally there's MIUI 11 officially announced in China. XDA recently provided the links to download recovery ROM based on MIUI 11 for certain devices here- https://www.xda-developers.com/download-miui-11-beta-now-for-13-xiaomi-devices-changelog/amp/
These ZIPs are chinese beta builds and my question as a xiaomi.eu 's ROM user is-
HOW CAN I FLASH A CHINESE BETA ROM USING TWRP WHILE CURRENTLY I'M USING XIAOMI.EU ROM?
Thanks in advance ;p
u don't. I tried them. they have anti-rollback feature. u will be stuck in them. u won't be able to flash twrp. fastboot will reject everything saying anti rollback hszghsjcklsj........ like something. I tried. my phone got bricked. but somehow fastboot was on and I unlocked bootloader then in edl mode flashed stock ROM. I must say that I was not able to access even recovery.
in short, the way to go back to using custom ROMs/recoveries are destructive and could brick ur device and u may not be able to recover it anytime soon.
So, I risked my phone and tried (that was the only option I had). Here's how to flash Chinese beta (or official MIUI) when your Xiaomi device is running unofficial MIUI like xiaomi.eu's MIUI or even a custom ROM-
Again HOW TO FLASH OFFICIAL MIUI CHINESE/GLOBAL ON A XIAOMI DEVICE THAT IS CURRENTLY ON A CUSTOM ROM
DISCLAIMER: THE BELOW MENTIONED METHOD IS WHAT WORKED IN MY CASE, I thought to help if someone needs help in this case because I didn't get any
Step 1. Make a backup of your data and wipe every partition (except Internal storage, USB OTG & SD card)
Step 2. Since MIUI has anti-rollback, you've gotta flash the recovery ROM with a lazyflasher like tool. (Lazyflasher didn't work at all in my case. So use Dm-verity disabler, Force encryption by @Zackptg5).
Note: You don't need this tool while flashing xiaomi.eu ROM or custom ROM. YOU DON'T!
Step 3. As mentioned above flash both zips and reboot to system.
Does anyone have the complete steps to flash the Android 11 GSI?

Do not flash GSI Rom But if you must, it's your decision.
Generally with GSI roms you only flash the system part. Everything else such as boot, vendor and drivers will be from a rom made for the mi8, such as an AOSP rom or a custom miui rom such as Xiaomi.EU. below are basic instruction after you already have a rom installed, have removed all passwords, and have chosen factory reset in recovery.
Follow these steps at your own risk, and be sure to make a backup first and copy it to your desktop
These are basic generalized Instructions after Formatting storage then installing a rom specifically made for the mi8. I strongly suggest that you do not Flash the new beta build, and that you instead wait for someone to build it specifically for the mi8.
The Mi8 can only use type A GSI's roms
1. Reboot Recovery
2. Perform factory reset, passwords must be removed or you will have a bootloop
3. Install GSI to system
4. Reboot to recovery, then reboot to OS > Setup > Enjoy testing it or enjoy your brick?
Once again, I would strongly suggest that you wait and not flash the new Android 11 rom. Also there is a very good chance that it will not boot to system, its early and beta builds are always super buggy at first. usually new builds are ready for non-Google devices by August.

Hello everyone,
as many of you, I also want to lock my bootloader after finding that my X2 Pro bought used few days ago was unlocked and with TWRP installed.
It was stuck to Color OS 6 with security patch updated at february and it had installed Magisk.
I tried to flash Realme UI but I couldn't because it had installed official TWRP and not the right one.
I formatted everything and after some hours of research and trials I managed to install Realme UI with security patches updated (october).
Now, I don't have TWRP but official recovery instead. No signs of Magisk and any other data because I formatted everything few time during my flashing trials.
I don't have fingerprint and face recognition, I think due to the fact the bootloader is unlock, yet.
To overcome this, I found a video-guide used for X2 (not Pro) in which I saw that after flashing the Realme UI, rebooting recovery and formatting data, those sensors worked again but with X2 Pro this procedure won't work.
To recap: I have official firmware and recovery, no fingerprint and face recognition. I think that I can use the official guide for locking the bootloader again as the app says that I can roll-out from the in-depth program.
Was someone in my situation? I mean, locking the bootloader with FP and FU disabled before relocking?
I ask this because I found a thread in which the user said that it was necessary to make FU and FP work again before locking the bootloader.
I had this phone for less than a week and I can't take a decision.
Thank to anyone in advance.
you must now download the FASTBOOT format of Android9 pie rom (6gb) and use REALME FLASHER which will
1. place original recovery
2. flash all partitions and downgrade your device to android pie (Color OS 6.1)
reboot
test you onscreen fb and other sensors while on setup ( IT SHOULD WORK) because you are on stock recovery! and vbmeta.img is untouched
now install DEEP testing and wait, it will check your device (use 4g data sim / NOT WIFI)
click end deep testing!
this will RELOCK your bootloader, (while you are on Original recovery ) and wipe all the data!
now your device is locked again!,
download ROM (recovery rom) from realme site, for latest REALME UI ( this file will be OPPO encrypted 3gb of .0zip) but since you are on stock recovery, you can use it to flash it.
reboot again to the NEWEST Realme ui and check the fingerprint sensor
now install DEEP TESTING APK again and try unlocking the BOOTLOADER, once unlocked the the DATA will be WIPED AGAIN
now you are on REALME UI (latest), stock recovery, no partitions altered and you will be taken to SETUP again,
your FB should work!
join this text and see the guide (xda keep sensoring it so i had to break it)

OMG tahnk you so much for your help.
I didn't receive any notification of your reply so I couldn't answer you before.
Before reading your reply I successfully locked the bootloader with REALME UI on it but FP and FU doesn't work.
I thought that it may be caused by the fact that bootloader was unlocked with Colors OS 6.1 (Android 9) and then I relocked it with Realme UI 1.0 (Android 10).
For this operation I used the official tool usable only with Android 10.
Do you think I should unlock the bootloader again, downgrade to Color OS 6.1, lock the bootloader and only then update my device to Realme UI?
If so, how can I downgrade the Android version? With their flashing tool it can't be done.
Hope you well and thank you in advance for your help.

Hi.
It's been a while since I flashed some ROM's so I am out of the loop a bit.
I just bought a Mi 8 SE off ebay. The ROM is the so called fake ROM MIUI GLOBAL 9.5.8.0 (Android 8.1). I intended to flash a new ROM and to my surprise it already contains a custom TWRP recovery. The TWRP is version 3.2.3 1102. Is this a really old one? Should I reflash the latest TWRP from TWRP.me or can I use this old TWRP to flash?
What I want to do is flash Xiaomi.eu MIUI 11 20.3.26 (Android 10). Do I need to format DATA in TWRP and then transfer the Xiaomi.eu ROM to the phone when I try and flash? Do I need any GAPPS when I flash Xiaomi.eu ROMs?
One more thing. Out of interest how would I go about flashing the last stock Chinese ROM for the MI 8 SE? Would I use MiFlash tool?
Any tips would be gratefully received.
