[CUST] Universal Cust Mod

Here is the universal cust mod. If you have a Helium (64/128gb) Mi Max and want to flash the Global ROM on it, the cust mod will unlock all Locales. Merged is the cust from the 32GB Global ROM and the Chinese 64/128GB rom. The Chinese region is set to US as well. I removed the extra unnecessary preinstalled apps from the cust folders as well. To flash the global rom simply fastboot flash the boot.img and system.img from the global rom through fastboot. Then make sure you have TWRP installed and boot into it immediately after flashing the global rom and flash the Universal Cust Mod. Then (optional) flash SuperSU in TWRP. After a reboot you'll be on the Global rom on your Helium.

Do not flash boot img from hydrogen to helium, otherwise bricked device guaranteed.
Flashing different boot.img on locked bootloader will result a hardbrick and only testpoin method will work.

The boot.img from each model is pretty much the same. I don't recommend flashing anything other than stock roms with a locked bootloader, I would unlock the bootloader first before flashing any custom roms or mods. I also have a Global rooted ROM for the Helium I'm testing with google apps and Adaway. I should have a release tomorrow.

Well, I got instruction posted how to flash custom roms and get root without unlocking bootloader, posted in guides section.
I tried flashing global rom for hydrogen on my helium then your mod and ended up with a hardbrick.
Then I tried to flash it with boot.img and the same result.
Had to put device in EDL with testpoint.
I guess it doesn't work with locked bootloader, while custom roms work fine.
I am also a ROM/Kernel developer but I just don't want to unlock my device, unless they release kernel sources.
But I was developing for Sony, there are no cust at least for Z Ultra.
Did I get that correctly and it's just unlocking languages that are in the rom?

Hey Doom, it'll be extremely helpful if you could write a guide about using that test point... I read some russian and I still couldn't get how exactly you connect it to battery from that 4PDA guide!? Best start with how you open the phone.
It'll help a lot of people seeing so many bricked devices...
Thank you for all the useful info you bring here!

Yeah the cust mod unlocks most Languages and unlocks all regions but those are the things you enter at the beginning steps when you first flash a rom or go back to stock.

I added hardbrick recovery to my tutorial. , since one guy in my thread flashed rom for different device.
I am making some kind of a universal guide.
So I gonna add what is necessary.

Firmware and custom ROMs help

Hello all,
I did some searching here on XDA and on the internet regarding the flashing but I was unable to find any definitive answer to this so maybe someone here can help me out, here goes:
As far as I'm aware, Xiaomi does not provide a source code for their drivers (firmware) which means we need to use precompiled binaries for specific android versions, downloadable for example here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k2...mware-xiaomi-mi-9t-pro-redmi-k20-pro-t3955317
What I don't exactly understand is how can one go about installing a custom ROM (e.g LineageOS) and drivers in case there is a difference between Android versions when flashing a ROM (e.g going from Android 9 based MIUI 10 to Android 10 based LineageOS 17)
Most of the how-to's I found on installing a custom ROM specify that I should update to MIUI 11 (Android 10) first before installing LineageOS 17 so the firmware is up to date and working but I would like to avoid this due to Xiaomi's anti-rollback "feature" (fastboot getvar anti) which will then prevent me from installing back MIUI 10 (in case I might want to roll back)
Does anyone know how/where is the firmware stored exactly? As I understand, the firmware is installed via TWRP therefore I believe it's stored somewhere on filesystem, do I need to flash the firmware/ROM in specific order when flashing a new ROM via TWRP (ROM first, then firmware)?
For now, I came up with these steps:
1. Unlock bootloader - already done
2. Install TWRP
3. Flash custom ROM (Android 10 / LineageOS 17)
4. Flash Firmware (Extracted from Android 10 / MIUI 11)
5. Wipe data/dalvik/etc. + install gapps/magisk/etc.
6. Reboot
Will this work?
Thanks a bunch!

our phone doesn't have anti-rollback. Source: xiaomi.eu
my guide: bit.do/raphaelguide
I'd advise updating the firmware of stock miui, so you are up-to-date normally. The firmware is located in the vendor. the vendor and firmware files are combined. (links in my guide as well.
Updating to an AOSP rom from miui is also in my guide.

Hello there, I have bought an Xiaomi Mi 9t pro in Germany 2 Days ago.
The guy who used it before had unlocked the Bootloader and installed the TWRP. This is working great and I've got no Problem with that.
He Also installed another ROM. In The beginning there was the Original EEA Rom. Now it is runnning with "MIUI 11 | V11.0.5.0QFKCNXM|(stable)".
He said this ROM is the original Global ROM from China and because of that the Phone identifys as Redmi K20 Pro. I've got no Problem with that, because I know These are the same phones. But my Question is: What is the difference between these two ROM's and does it make sense to use the ROM witch is installed already? Because actually i wanted to test the phone with the original ROM. And where can I find the actuall original ROM?
Thanks a bunch!

Your phone now has the Chinese ROM, not global.
The Chinese ROM is not so good for use outside of China.
You would be better using the latest EEA ROM, which you can download from here
http://bigota.d.miui.com/V11.0.3.0....EUXM_20191029.0000.00_10.0_eea_80e1c5de81.tgz
This is a fastboot ROM and needs to be flashed in fastboot mode, not with TWRP.
There are plenty of guides here on flashing a fastboot ROM, just be careful not to re-lock the bootloader.

Thank you for the fast answer. I will try to install the original ROM as fast as i can find a good guide on how to install via fastboot .
Can you please tell me whats the difference in the methods of installing a ROM via fastboot or TWRP? Up to now I always worked with TWRP. But this is my first Xiaomi device.
And why the bootloader should be re-locked when I'm installing the ROM? And is there any problem with re-locking the bootloader?

Xiaomi release 2 ROMs for each version, a recovery ROM and a fastboot ROM.
The recovery ROM is a standard ROM that is flashed via recovery, i.e. TWRP. Fastboot ROMs are more for recovering a soft bricked phone. They include most of the phones partition images, not just the system image. When changing to a different region ROM, you need to flash a fastboot ROM, not the recovery ROM.
Flashing fastboot ROMs is normally done with the Mi Flash Tool. The tool defaults to flash and lock the bootloader. You need to manually change the flash option from the default to flash only option (called 'clean all' in the tool)
It is only possible to re-lock the bootloader when you are flashing a ROM that is for the original region of the phone, if you try and lock the bootloader when flashing a ROM for a different region, it will brick the phone.
Because you've bought the phone second hand, and the seller already lied about the Chinese ROM being global, then there is no guarantee that the phone is a genuine European model, so it is best to play safe and not re-lock the bootloader when flashing the EEA ROM.

Thank you for this great description. I will try top flash the european ROM this weekend. After everything works succesfull i will write here .
Only one more question.. flashing the original ROM with re-locking the Phone will deinstall TWRP and install an original bootloader?

So now I flashed it by fastboot and its running. I had to watch some videos an dread some sides to understand what to do to make the Mi Flash tool run. But all in all its not that complicated as i thought.
When I start the phone its still unlocked, but i think there is no TWRP anymore. Thats not that important for me now. But I'm missing some Features witch were in the chinese ROM already. For example the App drawer. I Thougt it would be normal to have one because up to now i only had Phones with it :/. I've read it will come with some extra updates, and i hope it will come soon.
Thank you for your help. I hope i will accustom myself to use the phone without the app drawer.

Does anyone know where to find specific root / twrp guide for lg v40 sprint crossflashed to korean android 10?

Hello to eveyone.
I have been searching the forum for a spefic guide to:
Unlock bootloader
install TWRP
flash magisk
To my beloved lg v40 from Sprint that I sucessfully crossflashed to the Korean firmware that has android 10.
Now my phone's information is the following:
Software version: V409NUA30b
Model number: LM-V409NUA (used to be V405UA)
Again, im running android 10. I just want to root it so I can control the processor to get a better performance in gaming (dolphin emulator).
Thanks in advance for any help...

Hi man, thanks for your quick answer. Sorry that I posted my question in the wrong section. I wasn't sure if it had to be posted here or in Q&A, Ur right! I just picked the wrong option.
Yes! My phone has the software version V409NUA30b, it is the latest I could find when I decided to flash it to my phone I was happy with it until I found out that somehow the phone limits the processor's performance when it gets to certain temperature specifically when I use dolphin or cirtra emulators, tha's why i want to root it. But it seems It cannot be done unless you install TWRP, which also needs to have the bootloader unlocked.
I believe I won't get any OTA updates due to crossflashing and also because I am based in the republic of Panama.
I read the thread you are refering to and I saw that the files given to use QFIL are for Oreo and also the author suggested that they are not supposed to work with Pie, even though some people has been able to use them.
That is why I thought that the guide did no apply to my phone.
I am going to follow your advice and post this question in the right place.
If you know anything else, please do not hesitate in letting me know.
thanks again!
/quote
So, first, the guide you're referring to does have a few Pie files attached to it, but that's because the author was on Pie when he wrote it. The procedure he describes works for all versions of android, including Q.
So it certainly does apply, just be sure to save off your own abl and laf partitions prior to writing over them or erasing them. And also your boot partition, and for good measure, save ftm, fsg, modem, modemst1 and modemst2, they contain specific imei and s/n info for your specific / individual phone.
Also, there will never again be updates, lg is out of phone business, so forget that
check this thread for some additional info and files you will need. I'd suggest use lgup to go to 30f, that way you'll at least have the last security patch available.
cheers

Thanks again man.
So i was able to update to V4009NUA30f. Thank you for letting me know there was a new version.
I followed the process to unlock the bootloader but somehow I am unable to get into bootloader / fastboot mode. When I flash the v35eng.img to the abl_a it seems to be ok according to Qfill. But my bootloader does not seem to exist in the phone.
I tried to boot the phone into bootloader using adb reboot bootloader but it only restarts the phone.
Do you have an idea what could be wrong?
Thanks!

yes, yer flashing it to the inactive slot. The thing about the v35 eng abl, when you have it flashed (to the correct slot), your phone won't boot. It will only be able to go to fastboot.
In your case, the phone is booting, so you have to be flashing v35 eng abl to the wrong slot. It's the other one that's active.

OK! So I guess we are talking about the abl_b, right!?
Also, I saw in the other link you sent me the twrp+boot image. Once I unlock the bootloader and flash my back up abl file, then I would have to flash it (the twrp+boot) to the abl_b slot again right!?

No no no. You never flash an image to an incorrect partition. Abl partitions get abl images, boot partitions get boot images. Don't mix them up!

Should i flash official miui to completly reset my phone ?

Hi guys,
i flashed tons of roms since i got my phone. Now i want to revert back to miui 10 android 9 ~v10.3.17 - xiaomi.eu, as miui 10 always was best with battery life for me.
Should i first flash the official stock rom from c.mi.com with fastboot mi flash tool to get rid of all my mess i have done in those years or can i just flash xiaomi.eu via twrp ?
I have the chinese version redmi k20 pro 8gb 128gb raphael.
Thanks.

Flashing Xiaomi.eu will only replace the system. It's probably better that you first re-flash the complete stock, also MIUI 10/A 9, to have the clean situation like in the old days

@zgfg thank you very much for your answer.
May you can tell me if i should prepare anything to get the bootloader unlocked again easily or is it the same procedure like requesting the file from mi.com ?
And maybe you can tell me if i can flash eea or global rom aswell as i live in Italy/europe or china is required ?

I suppose your BL is unlocked since you were flashing.
You can check in Fastboot:
fastboot oem device-info
Regarding how to flash the fastboot firmwares, see (I didn't use myself):
How to Flash Xiaomi Firmware using MIUI Fastboot and Recovery ROM
Ever since the dawn of affordable smartphones in countries like India and China, the demand for more has increased. The consumers now, more than ever, are
www.getdroidtips.com
Long ago, when I switched from stock to Xiaomi.eu, I switched from EEA (but AFAIK, Xiaomi.eu guides nowhere require to be coming specifically from EEA, Global, China, Russia)

Yeah im unlocked, but if i recognize it correctly flashing stock will lock bootloader again.
Need to do further research tomorrow than if i can prevent that somehow .
Thanks.

Take a look to the screenshot from Mi Flash in the guide, there is the option Clean all vs Clean all and lock
That is a common issue, people leave on default: Clean all and lock and if anything goes wrong while flashing (wrong firmware or something) they hard brick their phones and since they locked them, they cannot flash again (and must ask for the paid EDL support)

Thank you so much for pointing that out, i surely have missed that.
If i can keep it unlocked may i stay at stock and will do a lot of debloating and optimization as i wont update it .

Question twrp, magisk, boot.img on miui 13.0.5.0 SKAEUXM???

Hi
Kind of in a pickle here, I have upgraded to the EU version of the rom and then updated to the above 13.0.5.0 SKAEUXM. Now the issue I am facing is no matter what version of twrp I install or boot into it doesn't show me the internal storage and neither can I copy anything there for some reason. ( That's TWRP out of the question trying to flash magisk or trying to extract the phones boot.img? )
Neither can i get hold of miui 13.0.5.0 SKAEUXM zip file where i can extract it and utilise the boot.img either as its no where to be found aka the full rom?
How do I root with magisk on my mi 11 ultra miui 13.0.5.0 SKAEUXM. Any suggestions or links would be greatly appreciated.
Regards

You can only root via adb fastboot using the fastboot version of your rom to patch the original boot.ini. AFAIK there are no fastboot versions of these roms quite yet

okay i managed to find a twrp and use the following command
fastboot flash boot_a twrp.img
that worked fine and i was able to see the storage. flashed magisk canary which then sent the phone into twrp loop.
restarting again installing the eu 12xxx rom which i will update to 13.0.5.0 SKAEUXM and then re do the procedure with normal magisk and see how that fairs. when i do normal fastboot flash recovery twrp.img i get a failed message.
will update

Use unsupported version of twrp with miui 13 (A12) can brick your phone, remember that
Still no working twrp for miui 13 (A12)

everything's been fine I been testing various roms and trying to get boot.img from miui 13 eu rom but while being careful on one occasion i forgot to check clean all and instead it was sat on clean all and lock and it locked and now i have fast boot only no recovery and boot loader is locked, I don't get why they would design this software to auto select clean all and lock rather than nothing so you get to select before you can even proceed unless it was malicious and done on purpose?? I done the unlock thing last night and have to wait 134 hours.
pay for a phone and still be at the mercy of the manufacturer, no, fk that. this phones getting flashed back and sent right back up the Chinese where the sun don't shine.
anyways what option do i have apart from now being at the mercy of another foreigner who just wants you to pay him before he even wants to talk to you or answer any questions or ask any about your issue.
all i got was pay no refund pay no refund from one dude in india no questions no nothing. i asked questions and he couldn't even answer one of them apart from with a maybe and a ? (Wont take any names)
so this is where I'm at fastboot with locked bootloader, no recovery or data. cant twrp on locked device cant set to edl mode via fastboot nothing.
any attempt has rendered cant do anything on locked bootloader. I can see the phone on mi flash and try to flash it but keep getting the locked error.
I have tried a global rom a eu rom a chinese rom hell even a engineering rom all the above give cant erase on locked stae error while the engineering one gives Antirollback error, and yes i have deleted the section of anti rollback check still get some other error?
Over to you guys.

so the phone is back on Chinese rom now, that it came with but the boot loader is locked until another 120 hours...can I install the eu rom over this chinese rom or replace it without boot loader being unlocked or do i have to wait the 120 hours before i can unlock and then wipe and reinstall eu rom?

EU isn't rom variant. They call that EU because full name is xiaomi.EU
Remember official rom branch: global, global EEA, global IN, china
Xiaomi.eu is just china miui with some mods for working with global user
