Yes coming soon
Assume you flash through recovery?
Instructions
1. Unlock bootloader
2. USB debugging on
3. Reboot to fastbootD (adb reboot fastboot)
4. Use "Fastboot enhance"
Flash payload.bin
Enjoy
I think if you on ColorOS Version A.13 .. you need Oxygen OS version higher A.13 (Like OP9)

Hello ,just wanted to give a heads-up, installed the Indian ROM. Apparently it won't log you into the OnePlus account it seems to not recognize my IMEI number also it heats up a bit constantly . I think I will wait for April 5th for the proper EU or IND release
Sounds like it's best to wait for the EU version then?

voice active OK google and hey google works fine for me.
Due to Shanghai pandemic I can't try Android auto recently.
And here's the link to Fastboot Enhance, it looks like a GUI of Fastboot.
As for payload.bin, just unzip the full ota zip package you'll see a huge payload.bin file.
I use this to flash India ROM to china version 10pro(NE2210), until now have no issue.
[TOOL][Windows] Fastboot Enhance [Payload Dumper & Image Flasher]
Fastboot Enhance What it can do? - Show fastboot vars - Switch between fastbootd & bootloader - Switch between A & B slot - Flash Payload.bin in fastbootd - Flash images - Erase partitions - Delete logical partitions - Create logical partitions...
forum.xda-developers.com
PS. I don't know if this software has only Chinese interface or other language else.
And on OxygenOS, unlocking bootloader will remain Widewine DRM L1 (unlikely ColorOS, it will drop to L3 instead)

Im wanting to flash my NE2210 but fastboot enhance is saying there are temporary partitions, is it safe to delete the cow files, i have lots of them some people have said theres 2
I deleted all the -cow files, flashed, did a wipe data in fastbootd and it works!
Can confirm android auto is working now!
Its a much nicer rom overall with all the google stuff working properly again, i have lost GPay tho it wont confirm the card, assuming because the bootloader is unlocked.

Looks good just to confirm.
Simply download fastboot enhance, click flash payload, with extracted zip?
Clear the cow unless if doesnt ask then it reboots?

I compiled TWRP for my own Redmi 8 (olive) and thought I would share. Based on the devicetree for the Redmi 8a (olivelite) by milankragujevic.
I have the global variant with a Tianma display. I can't test if it works on any other variant, use with precaution.
I used it successfully to flash the xiaomi.eu rom and magisk.
You can find the device tree on my GitHub: here
And the image in the release section: here
Installation:
Unlock Bootloader if not already done (Official Tool)
Boot in to fastboot (Powerbutton + volume down)
Run fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (for Windows use Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
Boot in to recovery (Powerbutton + volume up)
If something breaks you can use MiFlash and the stock fastboot rom to go back to reset your phone (phone will also be locked again) or use fastboot to flash the stock recovery (can also be found in the stock fastboot rom).
You can download the fastboot rom here.

Go in to the phone app and dial *#*#6484#*#*. Under 1 and then LCD you can then find the manufacturer.
I don't know if it actually matters. I read here that it affects devices when using the Redmi 8a recovery. Since I forked the code and have a Tianma display I can't really look in to the problem.
Have you got MTP working while at TWRP? I can't seem to get it right, Windows don't see my phone (adb and fastboot are working). While using adb-sideload I've got error that my mi-globe.zip rom cannot be installed through that method
------ EDIT -----
So, I flashed fastboot stock ROM and recovery. Then flashed this recovery. Booted into stock ROM, copied my custom ROM, rebooted into recovery and still couldn't install - after half of the installation process TWRP shouted that it couldn't mount /system partition. How did you get it to work? And thanks for work!

I do have a Tianma display. Problem isn't with controls but with the TWRP itself in my case.
Just tried new image, same problem "Checking /system. /system is not mounted! Trying to mount /system RW. /system cannot be mounted. [...] Installation will be aborted."
I am using Mi-Globe right now, gonna try with "clean" Xiaomi.eu.
And still can't access storage through Windows Explorer (but device itself is seen, tested with adb).
So Xiaomi.eu installed kinda. No errors and stuff but won't boot up. After one try it just goes back into TWRP. Using V11.0.3.0 for HM8 (as described by Xiaomi.eu)
luckily, mine has TIANMA display, I'll try while my rm8 is unlocked, thanks bro
@seprode, Reading your post and seen your work, I decided and today I ordered a Redmi 8 (olive) for my self , too.
I am very thankful that there are people like you, pioneers, who open the path, for all of us to follow.
Thank you again for what you are doing for us.
I hope, soon enough, some developer will pay attention to our new phone and , maybe , we will be also able to see new Android (Q ?) roms for it.
I am active involving so far in Samsung NOTE 2(exynos) and Note 4 (snapdragon) and also Xiaomi Redmi 5 plus community
I will do my best and see, if any of these groups will be able , in the future, to do something for our little brother here.
But the path you have open, is the very important first step to it.

===EDIT====
Ok, I managed this. After "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" you have to type "fastboot reboot"
Great Great work I hope you continue updating. Thank you ?

Realme XT Wiki
For convenience : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=304989
First things first.
DISCLAIMER : Use this guide at your own risk. I won't be responsible for you bricking your device due to following this guide. It's also necessary to back up your data before you attempt anything.
Realme XT is not really a developer friendly device as they claim to be for the following reasons.
- Bootloader restricts flashing critical partitions and certain fastboot options are disabled like
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
- The flash tool is only available to service centres.
- Kernel sources are not actively updated by realme.
- Nil response to developer's queries.
Code:
[B][U]Table of contents :[/U][/B]
- Unlocking the bootloader
- Unbrick guide
- TWRP guide
- Upgrade guide
- Downgrade guide
- Project Treble for Realme XT
- Links
For unlocking the bootloader, follow the official instrutions from here :
https://c.realme.com/in/post-details/1184740422732218368
As of 28/03/20, you can unlock the bootloader in Realme UI. The official guide for XT is still not updated by realme, but the bootloader unlock app tool that was released for realme3pro works for XT.
UNBRICK GUIDE FOR REALME XT : (FASTBOOT)
Most bricks that happen with devices are softbricks. This means you can boot into stock recovery using key combination or you can access fastboot.
Hardbricks are where your device basically does nothing no matter what you do.
If you are on Color OS 6 or realme UI on locked bootloader :
- Switch off your device
- Press volume up + power button hold it until it finishes starting up.
- You will see the recovery menu now
- Press online update and connect it to wifi and follow instructions
If you are on color os 6 on unlocked bootloader :
Prerequisite:
1. You need to have unlocked bootloader
2. Platform tools setup and added to system environmental variables under windows
OR
Just install this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
Since custom ROMS don't deal with critical partitions, there is very less chance that the critical partitions are messed up. Majority of the times you would be fine with just flashing the boot image, system image, vendor image, vbmeta.
Instructions for color os 6 (Android pie firmware) :
Download the stock pie A16 fastboot image from the links section and extract it :
Just flash by executing the following commands :-
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot flash oppo_sec oppo_sec.img
fastboot flash modem modem.img
fastboot flash splash splash.img
fastboot flash DRIVER DRIVER.img
fastboot reboot
If you are on Realme UI on unlocked bootloader :
Prerequisite :
Download the stock Realme UI fastboot image from the links section and extract it :
Note : The zip file has other partitions too. Hopefully, you shouldn't need them.
Just flash the boot,system,vendor and vbmeta by executing the following commands
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot flash oppo_sec oppo_sec.img
fastboot flash modem modem.img
fastboot flash splash splash.img
fastboot flash DRIVER DRIVER.img
fastboot reboot
Guide to Custom Recovery:
Prerequisite:
1. You need to have unlocked bootloader
2. Platform tools setup and added to system environmental variables under windows

TWRP Recovery
Orangefox Recovery
Instructions to install TWRP recovery:
Run this command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
You can install orangefox recovery by flashing it via TWRP recovery or by extracting the recovery.img from orangefox recovery.zip file.
Upgrade guide :
You can always find the latest update from here : https://www.realme.com/in/support/software-update
Upgrading from android pie to android 10 carries the risk of bricking your device. Be it locked or unlocked. Thus proceed with caution and ONLY use stock recovery to update from android pie to android 10.
If you are on locked bootloader,
Step 1 :Simply download the update of your choice from the Links section and try to open it in stock file manager.
Note : If it doesn't show the update option in stock file manager, just rename the file from *.zip to *.ozip and try again
Step 2 : Press reboot immediately after the flashing is done
Step 3 (Very important) : Pray that everything works. Bricks can happen to anyone.
If you are on unlocked bootloader,
Step 1:In case you already have TWRP working on pie, simply flash the official stock android pie A16 through twrp and let it boot.
Step 2:Now, let it fully boot into the system
Step 3: Go to stock file manager and follow similar instructions as is for locked bootloader that's written above.
Downgrade guide :
Prerequisite:
In case you are in realme UI (Android 10) and want to roll back to android pie for any reason, you need to backup your data and flash stock pie A16 via TWRP
Step 0 : Back up your data and download stock A16 firmware from the links section below
Step 1 : Go to TWRP and flash stock pie
Step 2 : Flash stock pie again
Step 3 : Format data and reboot
Project Treble for Realme XT :-
You could refer here for what works and what doesn't
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/realme-XT
Prerequisite :
1. You need to have unlocked bootloader
2. Platform tools setup and added to system environmental variables under windows
OR
Just install this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
3. You need to be on realme UI (Android 10)
Typically, you could install GSI without even using TWRP.
Step 1: Download any A/B arm64 GSI of your choice
Step 2: Erase userdata using the command
Code:
fastboot -w
Step 3: Flash system.img using fastboot command
Code:
fastboot erase system && flash system system.img
Step 4: Flash RUI vbmeta with flags
Code:
fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta vbmeta.img
Optional : Flashing TWRP helps with installing magisk and device specific treble fixes and is highly recommended.

My device bootloop'ed after following your downgrade tutorial. Tried boot unbrick it like your tutorial to no avail
Anyone who is now used to with this device and have done all these steps from Unlocking bootloader to flashing recoveries to installing custom & Stock Roms, can you please tell me what are the senarios in which this device can brick and only restored by Realme service center? I mean what possible error we can make that gives error of boot/recovery destroyed and only needs to visit realme service center?
I am very new to realme, before getting started with unlocking bootloader, i want to be sure about my steps, actually all i need is to use titanium backup for old data transfer of apps, my phone records etc, and most importantly using viper4android. This is all i am going to do after unlocking bootloader.

A reply this late isnt probably useful. But for others who refer this thread, once locked, it can be saved only by flashtool if you cant access stock recovery.
Fastboot commands not working
Hey there.
I am using realme xt with realme UI and i tried to unlock the bootloader. The bootloader is unlocked successfully but the fastboot commands arent working now on the device. This is whats happened while relocking the bootloader and same error for flashing recovery.
D:\Root\platform-tools>adb devices
* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
* daemon started successfully
List of devices attached
f40db298 device

^C
D:\Root\platform-tools>fastboot devices

this also happened while flashing recovery also. And I am kind of stuck i cant relock the bootloader and cant install custom recovery to root the device.
Kindly, guide me to solve this problem. Thanks in Advance.
Hi, anybody can help me? I want to sell my phone so i wanted to flash stock rom and lock the bootloader. But i dont find any post or something like that to do so... Do you know how can i flash the stock rom and relock the bootloader like we can do with xiaomi phones?
A simple guide to installing custom GSI's on Motorola G50.
This works only on Qualcomm models that are from G series of Motorola.
Recomended flashing stock android 12 to your phone to get NFC functionality back and for bluetooth disconecting there is a workaround by going to Phh's treble settings and enabling "Force Disable A2DP offload"
What will you need?
Motorola's fastboot tools (attached to thread.) Update these don't work now. Use latest version of fastboot.
Unlocked bootloader
blank vbmeta (Included with Fastboot.)
Generic System Image of your choice.
Unlocking bootloader will void your warranty and erase your data (If you have any important data you can backup in System settings or using LMSA tool, I am NOT responsible for any damage that you make. If you **** up you can always restore to stock by using LMSA tool from Motorola.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Download your GSI image. Because there isn't any TWRP recovery for G50 (ibiza) yet. We need to download GSI image with gapps like Pixel Experience or Lineage OS 19 with GMS.
Download fastboot and adb tools from Motorola. Since some features like "fastboot oem get_unlock_data" dosen't work
Unlock bootloader (If you have unlocked bootloader skip this step.). There's a guide on motorola site to help you unlock your bootloader. Here you have the guide https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a/
After unlocking bootloader we can go to installing our GSI.
Boot to bootloader. You can do it by turning off your phone and pressing at the same time Power + Volume down or using adb by "adb reboot bootloader"
After doing that you need to reboot to fastbootd. You can do it by typing in fastboot "fastboot reboot fastboot"
If you boot to a screen with bold red text written "fastbootd" we can go to erasing data and system partitions. But after we can do that we need to flash vbmeta.
Flash vbmeta.img to bypass AVB (Android Verified Boot.) : "fastboot --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img" and wait until it says OK
If we did that we can erase system partition by typing in fastboot "fastboot erase system" If it says OK we can go to the next step
If we get "CANNOT RESIZE SYSTEM PARTITION" do this: "fastboot delete-logical-partition product_a" and "fastboot delete-logical-partition product_b"
Now it's time to flash our GSI. To do that just type "fastboot --u flash system *name of your gsi*.img
And wait until it flashes and DO NOT REBOOT!!!
After successful flash we need to type "fastboot -w"
And now you can reboot.
If you did everything and your device boots then congrats you did it. If you have questions or issues reply to this thread and I will do my best to help you!
And this is my first guide and I was scratching my head how to do that so yeah that took some time.
What roms are working?
As for midrangers some roms dosen't work fully, like HavocOS or AncientOS but i made a little list of compatible roms at current date (18.01.2022)

If you wanna clean Ui and smooth experience dotOS should be good for you.
Currently im using Pixel Experience 12 alpha and it works good. And im still working on nfc fix. If you have more questions feel free to ask me.
Also if you want to choose GSI you need an A/B version "arm64-ab".

Hi
I flashed 100s of phones using fastboot
I'm aware of how to boot to fastboot and using cmd
The thing is there is no such command for fastboot
Fastboot reboot bootloader takes you to the same window
However I managed to boot to fastbootd
Using phone terminal
su reboot fastboot
But again my phone is rooted (magisk) so I don't think if I can flash a GSI on a rooted phone

I forgot to add that booting to fastbootd mode and flashing gsi with Magisk it will just simply bootloop. By flashing stock boot image gsis run flawlessly but HavocOS dosen't want to boot. I'll make a quick video how to do this if you need more context.

Hello, can I use this guide and the file provided to flash my Chinese version of this phone (ibiza_retcn). It has 8gb if ram, 128gb of storage and no NFC. Everything else seem the same (CPU is snap)

Yeah! Fastboot and vbmeta are correct for the ibiza-retcn. But if you mess something up you can revert back to stock using motorola's tool LMSA. Currently I have my moto g50 in repair center because i forgot that you cannot relock bootloader on motorola phones. And please be careful, if you'll be stuck on bootloop when you flashed some gsi, it isn't bricked just flash another. Some gsis dosen't always work on this phone. Tommorow I will prowide list of compatible gsis that will work on this phone.

Thx for the guide, lacking TWRP or any custom recovery, could be a pain... However old-school methods are still 'a gold skills'.

Hello,
Just a small FYI - Pixel Experience A12 boots and so far works OK as well
If I manage to implement root solution, I will stay with it for a little bit longer.
Wish U all good day!

For root like Magisk I had almost done Magisk but with "Task Failed Succesfully" by making to bootanimation and not booting. About In Februrary or March magisk should be working.
After texting motorola they release their MyUX A12 on Februrary If you're interested.

I tired to get magisk working (patched boot.img in the magisk app then back to fastbootd and "fastboot flash boot magisk_boot.img" but it boot loops. I also tried flashing to both boot_a and boot_b.
Can you tell me how you got this working?

When PE12 v401 got released the Magisk app appeared in app drawer and it just needed to reboot to setup magisk so i did that and Magisk worked flawlessly. It also worked on my A50 so i didn't patched the boot.img

many many many thanks for this thread. I was very suprised to see that this cheap smartphone had so little support from the bigger custom roms (like, for instance lineageos). I will try pixelexperience - can you please provide some help identifying which "codename" is hould download to flash my Motog50?
Thanks again
Any Degoogled ROMs for this device? Currently I am on stock rooted with magisk but with many problems like GPS not working correctly and some motorola update reminders popping out. Any help Highly appreciated
You can try Phh's AOSP with FLOSS variant degoogled and open source apps.

- First you need to download This mini sdk
one_plus_nord_sdk.zip
drive.google.com
It is necessary for the cmd commands to work
- you need also to install the drivers , just go to
Universal ADB Drivers
OnePlus-USB-Drivers.zip
drive.google.com
You need to install both drivers clockworkmod and one plus drivers.
- To unlock the bootloader of your oneplus device just connect it to a Windows computer with USB debugging on and run the following commands from the mini sdk folder that just downloaded
adb devices
Then check your device for confirmation. Then
adb reboot bootloader
Then run the command
fastboot oem unlock
A factory screen will pop-up asking for confirmation, you need to confirm using the volume buttons and the power button.
The phone will reboot into recovery and wipe the data. Please do not interrupt this process or the device will not boot anymore.
So just be patient until the phone finishes booting and set it up and turn the USB debugging on.
bentalebnordine said:
2: after that you need to boot your device on fastboot mode, simply by running the code
adb reboot bootloader
And run the command
fastboot --disable-verity flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
Then this command
fastboot --disable-verity flash vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Note that you need to flash both files only once, unless you returned to stock rom.
bentalebnordine said:
Then run the command
fastboot reboot fastboot
Then flash the system of your choice by visiting
Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS
Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS
forum.xda-developers.com
Note that the file downloaded would be in Xz format, so you need to extract it with 7zip or beanzip and put it on sdk folder.
The file downloaded must end with arm64_bvS.img. Xz and not with arm64_avS.img.xz (bvS not avS) or the phone will stuck on bootloop.
And the file extracted must not exceed 2.6 gB or you will get an error of resizing the system partition.
After flashing the system with the command
fastboot flash system <your system >.img
Run the command
fastboot -w
And finely the command
fastboot reboot
And good luck.

If you updated to Android 11 Oxygen OS 11 you need to switch slots by running the command
fastboot --set-active=a
Because android 11 were installed in the b slot.
If you have a problem booting into fastboot mode try extracting the mini sdk provided in the tmp folder on your desktop computer.
The working Android versions are 10,11,12. Now I am running Resurrection Remix ROM android 10 just amazing
NAMING
Some information you should know about knowing what type of gsi it is
<ARCH>_xyZ
<ARCH> can either be arm, a64 (arm32_binder64) or arm64
x can either be a or b
y can either be v, o, g or f
Z can be N or S
b = a/b
a = a-only
g = gapps
o = gapps-go
v = vanilla (no gapps included)
f = floss (free & open source apps instead gapps)
N = no superuser
S = superuser included
Z = dynamic superuser included
-lite = for VNDK Lite vendors (also can help with broken camera even on normal VNDK vendors)
so in most common example "arm64_avZ" is ARM64 A-only vanilla with dynamic superuser
you can simply look to the attached text file.

Me I have a BE2013 variant and I was able to flash it with gsi roms using just this guide. I should mention that I am not an expert on rom development.
If I am not mistaken, the BE2013 variant is the global factory unlocked. If so, then maybe these carrier devices will not work with your excellent guide. That being said, I was able to get the DSU to work fine -- AOSP 12.
If you're on the Metro firmware it's a bit tricky. You'll most likely have to still be running Android 10 but you can decrypt the data partition and mount system r/w. After you've accomplished that then it's a piece of cake. Follow this thread, I've been able to remount the system partition read/write on both my Google Pixel running Android 11 and Metro Firmware of OnePlus Nord n100. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-superrw-featuring-makerw-read-write.4247311/

I'm running Project Arcana Android 12 GSI on my n100 without any issues. I've flashed serval different GSI ROMS but it's by far the best. There's a few things you need to know to successfully flash it but if the steps are followed exactly it's not a problem at all. Here are a few screenshots. It passes safety net basically out the gate with Magisk installed. You'll definitely have to flash the Global firmware to the Metro variant If you happen to be on that version. Luckily, if that's the case someone has already created a modified MSM flash tool that works without any other modifications.

There's no verified instructions on this but I took the liberty to upload the necessary files to my Google drive that I used to successfully flash this GSI. First and foremost you'll need to revert back to the global stock firmware 10.5.5 using the msm tool. If you're on the the European firmware then I'm not sure if this will work for you or not and it definitely won't work on the Metropcs version but if you happen to be on the Metro version then you can flash the Global firmware to that device which is what I did. Once you're on stock 10.5.5 enable debugging and oem unlock in developer options and reboot to bootloader. If your bootloader isn't already unlocked enter the command fastboot flashing unlock_critical and use the volume keys to select unlock the bootloader. Your device will be wiped. Wait for the system to reboot then go back into developer options and enable debugging again. Once again reboot to the bootloader. Once there enter the command fastboot -w and wait for it to finish. Once it's complete enter fastboot reboot fastboot and wait to enter fastbootd mode. Use the vendor.img that's included in the zip file I have linked and enter fastboot flash vendor_a (name of vendor).img. Once it's complete enter fastboot reboot bootloader. Once you're back into the bootloader interface enter fastboot -w and wait for it to complete. Then with the twrp file I've supplied enter fastboot boot twrp10.img to boot to recovery (Don't flash only boot!!) When you enter recovery choose wipe, then format data and type yes. Reboot to the bootloader once again. Enter fastboot reboot fastboot and wait to enter fastbootd mode. Once there enter fastboot flash product_a product_gsi.img. Then enter fastboot erase system_a. Next enter fastboot resize-logical-partition system_a 4210000000. Once that's complete enter fastboot reboot bootloader. Once you're in the bootloader enter fastboot -w once again. Once complete boot back to twrp with fastboot boot twrp10.img. This is when you'll flash the GSI and it has to be loaded on your sdcard. Flash it to the system partition and reboot to the bootloader once it's complete. Your next move is important if you want it to boot. Again with the images I've supplied enter fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img then fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.img. Now you can reboot to the system. For some reason twrp won't boot anymore once this GSI is flashed so I've also included the stock boot.img you can patch with Magisk and flash via fastboot to root and pass safety net.

Thank you very much my friend for the help, I have the E2013 and it worked.
Awesome, I'm glad to hear it boots on the E2013. If you're on the the Metro version as I was it's difficult but not impossible. Unfortunately for myself I had no guide, just a few pieces of information I picked up here and there that I was able to bundle together into one long process. The great thing about OnePlus is the MSM flash tool. I've flashed firmware from just about every Android manufacturer but it's by far the easiest if you happen to brick your device. So easy even someone with no prior experience wouldn't have an issue using it.
I'd also like to mention that if you're into theming your device, the infamous dev kdragOn has developed an app called repainter that's quite amazing and works really well on this device and ROM. I'm in no way affiliated with him or the advertisement of his app but just making an honest recommendation

Can I ask a stupid question most likely. I have the BE2015 variant and I followed your instructions to a T and they worked so thank you very much for that.
However if I wish to use another ROM as myself I personally like Android 10 which ROM would you recommend works with our devices? I tried using LineageOS but the Gapps file does not want to install each time I get error.
Edit: Might be time I update my signature lol

Okay I just want to say thank you first and foremost to @bentalebnordine and @sdflowers32 because without your both helpful and informative guides I would have taken much longer lol! I can get a guide going completely. With the above guide that sdflowers posted make sure you follow this to a T or you won't boot trust me. Also the GSI images that work best for our device must be the following
system-arm64-ab-img.xz and they will work with no issues I'll put up a cleaned up guide as well to hopefully help others but again this is all only possible with the help of you two first and foremost so thank you!

DOT (Droid on Time) is another GSI that works beautifully on this device but it's Android 11. I personally haven't tried any 10 GSI'S. If you want to update to 11 through stock firmware I already have a DOT super.img I repacked that I'm pretty sure can be flashed without issues with the Android 11 twrp for this device and I'm certain can be flashed via fastbootd mode. Other than project arcana it's the only one I've been impressed with and I've flashed 7 or 8. At least 3 of them I could never get to completely boot after trying every trick of the trade. Arcana is by far the best but DOT runs a tight race. If interested let me know and I'll upload the super.img. I packed it myself so if I ever get bored and just want to go back it would be a much less painless process to flash and I've tested it and it works perfectly.

Thank you very much that would be great! I just downloaded DOT to try it out. I used it before on my 7T and it's great. I just am stubborn I'll say where I like Android 10 the most and 11 not bad but 12 I just don't like the interface and magisk 24 especially for what I do with the phones. I ideally would love to be able to use lineage but when it came time to flash Gapps I kept getting storage error even with resizing. I just want to again say seriously thank you so much without your guide I'd still be screwed
Instructions for flashing DOT GSI
(Start by flashing to stock 10.5.5 with the MSM tool for the device and follow the previous instructions to unlock the bootloader but only to this point)
I decided to edit this because it's been so long since I've removed encryption on this device I completely left out the steps to do so which are imperative. It's much easier to remove encryption on Android 10 than 11 with this device but as far as I know this is the sure fire way to flash an Android 11 GSI on this device. Maybe it can be flashed from 10 but I can't guarantee it as I can with this so here is the revised instructions.
1. Use the MSM tool to revert back to stock and unlock the bootloader
2. Upgrade OTA as far as you can up until version 11.0.4 (Most likely you'll have to use the file I've included in the attachment and perform a local upgrade by placing the zip file in your internal storage to get on this version) Remember this is only for the global firmware but it can be cross flashed with a modded MSM tool.
3. Once you're on 11.0.4 you'll need to format an SD card to exfat which can be done easily with windows because you're going to have to place the super.img on it to be flashed in TWRP. Android supports exfat but for reasons beyond my understanding when you purchase an SD card for Android it comes formatted as fat32 which has a 4 gig limitation.
4. Unzip the 11.0.4 super.img and load it on the SD card along with Magisk.apk. You can either rename the extension from Magisk.apk to Magisk.zip and keep just the one file on your card or copy it and place them both on but nevertheless you'll need the zip file to flash in TWRP after flashing the super partition. Use the TWRP11.img provided in this devices thread and have it placed in your platform-tools folder on PC. Reboot to the bootloader and enter fastboot boot twrp11.img (Or whatever the name of the image happens to be). Once you're in recovery choose wipe, format data and enter yes. Go back and choose install image then select the super11.0.4.img and flash to the super partition. Go back and flash Magisk.zip.
5. Now boot to the bootloader and with the volume keys enter stock recovery.
6. Wipe Data, Cache and System and reboot. I usually reboot back to the bootloader then boot TWRP again just to make sure I can mount all partitions assuring that the device is decrypted.
7. Now all you have to do is place the DOT_SUPER.img on your SD just as you previously did, wipe and format data, then flash it to the super partition just as you did with the stock 11.0.4 super. The boot image is provided as well but I wouldn't advise uninstalling Magisk. Upgrade if you like but it may not boot if you flash the stock boot.img

Hi there
I am a newbie of Xiaomi Phone. I got a used Mi 11 Ultra phone from a reputable eBay User. My phone is currently installed with a stable version called MIUI 13/.0 (V13.0.12.0.SKACNXM STABLE). Since I am new to this phone, I click on system updates and managed to download a file called xiaomi.eu_Multi_M11Pro_M11Ultra_V13.0.13.0.SKACNXM_618A7FFAB_V13-12.ZIP Via OTA Updates.
After I click on the Updates Button, I got a screen with a green button : "Check MD5 & Install", after a while, I got a pop up screen says :Your device supports "Seamless System Updates",
I click on the OK button, also click on the OK button for the internal storage is encrypted.
Finally, to ask me whether I would like to continue to install the Updates, I choose YES and end up stuck at the Main Menu with 5 choices: Reboot, Wipe Data, Connect with MiAssistant, Safe Mode and Repair Mode. There are no choice for me to install the Updates.
Can someone give me a hand please ?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi there
I am a newbie of Xiaomi Phone. I got a used Mi 11 Ultra phone from a reputable eBay User. My phone is currently installed with a stable version called MIUI 13/.0 (V13.0.12.0.SKACNXM STABLE). Since I am new to this phone, I click on system updates and managed to download a file called xiaomi.eu_Multi_M11Pro_M11Ultra_V13.0.13.0.SKACNXM_618A7FFAB_V13-12.ZIP Via OTA Updates.
After I click on the Updates Button, I got a screen with a green button : "Check MD5 & Install", after a while, I got a pop up screen says :Your device supports "Seamless System Updates",
I click on the OK button, also click on the OK button for the internal storage is encrypted.
Finally, to ask me whether I would like to continue to install the Updates, I choose YES and end up stuck at the Main Menu with 5 choices: Reboot, Wipe Data, Connect with MiAssistant, Safe Mode and Repair Mode. There are no choice for me to install the Updates.
Can someone give me a hand please ?
Many thanks in advance.

start with Repair Mode if it doesn't work Wipe Data(your data will be erased).
I tried both options but not working
Try installing TWRP recovery (permanent flash not just fastboot boot TWRP.img) and then retry the installation.

Is the bootloader unlocked?
Unlock Bootloader - Install Twrp - install the latest xiaomi.eu rom - you can root with magisk.zip if necessary

I don't have a Xiaomi account. The phone is working but cannot install updates properly because of the seamless updates.

Ok, what do you want to do, update it to Chinese version or flash another version?
Do you know the Xiaomi EU roms?
For me looks like ROM what you had before was FASTBOOT installed xiaomi.eu stable, and then they started rolling out TWRP updates, and because you didn't have TWRP its reboot in stock recovery ?...
Can you boot into TWRP from this link:https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...eamwin-recovery-project.4374111/post-87360425
Please use this fastboot command
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
, first TWRP boot will be in Chinese language, please change it to English, enter your unlock PIN, then find this update file downloaded by updater.
Let us know if that's help
I'm right, your current ROM is a FASTBOOT version (so without TWRP)
Checked on the download website
xiaomi.eu_multi_MI11Pro_MI11Ultra_V13.0.12.0.SKACNXM_v13-12-fastboot.zip

What are you talking about ?
Xiaomi Eu is a custom rom.
Xiaomi EEA rom for Europe is a stock rom.
V13.0.12.0.SKACNXM and V13.0.13.0.SKACNXM :Chinese stock rom

You didn't focus on details ,my friend
He has already installed xiaomi.eu custom ROM, if you closely check his pictures from his first post - Updater app downloaded new version of xiaomi.eu CUSTOM ROM, so yeah he has already unlocked bootloader, and installed FASTBOOT version of CUSTOM ROM, the version what Updater app downloaded was released to be installed with TWRP (he didn't have TWRP on his phone yet) - so he need boot into TWRP and install update manually.

You're right bro, I'm way off base.
I focused on that
he just installed the TWRP and updated.
TWRP

To summarize:
Create a Xiaomi account.Important
I hope that the seller has deleted the device from his account otherwise it will be a hassle.
flash twrp
Flash the rom

He has already unlocked bootloader/already on custom ROM - for what he needs Xiaomi account ?

because after flashing the ROM, it is asked to continue booting.
obviously if the phone is no longer linked this will not be a problem
Hi gomcse2002,
Has your problem been solved?
If so, how did you do it, if you don't mind me asking.
I've had the same exact concern on my Mi 11 Ultra, which sadly has NOT been resolved yet.
Thanks.
Which rom(full name)?
