First Things To Do After Getting My Mi Mix?

Just found out that I have a Mi Mix waiting for me when I get home. I've made a checklist of what I want to do to it to get it setup for my use. I wanted to know if anyone had anything to add or has done any of what I'm planning on.
Unlock Bootloader
This should be relatively simple. I already have my unlock permission and will be using the directions from here: http://en.miui.com/thread-202290-1-1.html
As far as I can tell by reading that thread, I do not need to install the developer ROM first. Is this correct?
I will also follow the top reply to this thread which mentions linking your device to your Mi account before unlocking to prevent errors: https://m.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/5co8t1/mi_unlock_approval/​
Install TWRP
My plan is to follow these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-mix/development/recovery-official-twrp-xiaomi-mi-mix-t3498960
This is where I start having questions. I've been out of the rooting and ROMing game for a couple of years. Does anyone recommend rooting with anything other than SuperSU? I'm reading that it was bought by a Chinese company and shouldn't be trusted. I've also read that using Magisk you can have root that is easily turned off. I'll admit I'm pretty lost at the moment when it comes to what Magisk does and how to use it. But if it is the recommended way of doing things I will do the research to learn it.​
Flash The EU ROM
I think my plan is to flash this EU ROM which debloats everything and seems to come with gapps and a lot of other nice optimizations: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/6-11-10.36056/
My first question is has anyone tried this?
My second question is will I need to reinstall TWRP and re-root? I think I will have to re-TWRP because on the TWRP page there is one version for stock and one for the EU version. I will be on stock first and I can't flash EU until after I flash TWRP. So I think the procedure will have to be:
Flash stock TWRP
Flash EU ROM
Flash EU TWRP
Re-Root?
Turn Off All Battery Optimizations
Don't have a guide for this yet but I'm guessing it's not hard to find. Feel free to reply with one if you have one.​
Personalize
Launchers/Themes/Icon Packs/etc. Don't need suggestions here since I already know what I have in mind.​
Anything else?
The only other thing I can think of that I might want to install is Xposed. I've never used it and don't know how to install it but I'll learn if I can be convinced that it's something I want.
What else am I missing?​
I think right now the biggest thing I'm curious about is if anyone has used the EU ROM and what the procedure is if you use that ROM since there are 2 different versions of TWRP for the Mi Mix. But any other suggestions on what to do with the initial setup or how to make my experience better are welcome. I'd also love to hear about any "gotchas" that aren't mentioned in the guides from people who have actually done it.

Well I took the plunge without waiting for feedback and for anyone who is interested, I'll answer my own questions. Read the posts that I linked in the OP to understand what I'm doing below. I will not cover how to get unlock permission as this has been covered elsewhere.
Unlock Bootloader
As far as I can tell by reading that thread, I do not need to install the developer ROM first. Is this correct?

This is not correct. You must install the Dev ROM and connect to WiFi and follow the steps to enable Developer options and login to your Mi account in developer options.​
Install TWRP
Before installing TWRP you must update back to the stable ROM. The non-EU version of TWRP will not work with the Dev ROM as of this posting. You can update to the stable ROM using the same steps as updating to the developer ROM. In the TWRP install guide I linked above, I stopped right after step 6 and continued below.​
Flash the EU ROM
Instead of flashing SuperSU after installing TWRP, I copied over the EU ROM linked above and flashed that. Then I followed the instructions starting from step 3 of this post to flash SuperSU, Magisk, and suhide: https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongod...k_v7_systemless_xposed_v866_released/d8d7ziw/
The only change I made is that in between steps 4 and 5, I flashed the EU version of TWRP before continuing because otherwise the touchscreen would not work in TWRP. I used the most recent versions for the SuperSU, Magisk, and suhide and I did not flash Xposed yet but I believe I can do that in the future if I want to.​
That's where I'm at now. The rest of my checklist was mostly personal preference so I won't go into that. Hope this helps.

@chimera533
THX for taking the plunge & sharing your results with us.
I'm sure I'll be doing the same once mine arrives, hope you don't mind if I look this way if I have any questions regarding TWRP/Root/etc.....

Thank you for posting this, this is the exact list of what I will be doing when my Mi Mix comes in the mail (C'mon Ibuygou).

I couldn't seem to find a EU rom for Mi mix though it is listed in the thread as a supported drive. Will you please drop me the link to download? Thank you.

I think I got mine from here: https://megadysk.pl/f/6.11.10
Just scroll down to the Mi Mix one.
There are 3 repositories to the 6.11.10 weekly ROMs at the top of the page here: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/6-11-10.36056/
As far as I know there are no stable EU builds for the Mi Mix probably because it's so new.
Also I believe the weekly updates show up here: https://xiaomi.eu/community/forums/miui-weekly-rom-releases.103/
The Mi Mix was skipped for 6.11.17 as evidenced by the note at the top of the 6.11.17 thread.
That's about all I know. I highly recommend reading all or most of every link I posted here. I'll confess that if I had, I would've known things like having to flash back to stable before TWRP-ing as well as some other things.

It would be nice if you did an edit of your original post, rather than a 'by the way' post below it. It would be much easier to follow the instructions.
I've installed TWRP on multiple phones. The dm-verity stuff is new to me (A xiaomi/MIUI thing I guess),
so the sequence appears to be:
install Official MIUI China developer ROM
<unlock>
install Official stable rom
install Official (Non-EU) TWRP (requires stable)
copy/install EU ROM after step 6 (aka before exiting TWRP)
< Do you reboot now and go back into fastload now? or stay inside TWRP? >
Install EU TWRP
install supersu (again, before you exit TWRP?)
Install Magisk, suhide?

Apologies but I'm away from home at the moment. I'll update the OP with more detail when I have a bit more time. But I'll give you some quick answers below.
install Official MIUI China developer ROM
Remember to log in to your Mi account in the developer options
<unlock>
install Official stable rom
install Official (Non-EU) TWRP (requires stable)
copy/install EU ROM after step 6 (aka before exiting TWRP)
While still in TWRP, install SuperSU in systemless mode.
Boot to system once
Boot back to fastboot and install EU TWRP
Boot to TWRP and install Magisk, suhide
Boot to system and install magisk manager

Got the Mi Mix 128GB overpriced in Thailand, but without any waiting time.
Love your early thread, very helpful.
I also want to get twrp, suhide, magisk and xposed, but I like to stay on the Chinese Dev or official ROM, not xiaomi.eu, because I like the paid themes which are only available on official ROMs.
I've got a MIUI developer account for 4 years, so I can unlock the device directly, being on stable ROM.
Now the steps are a bit unclear for me. Do I understand them correctly?
1. Unlock bootloader
Download and install the developer rom: http://en.miui.com/download-317.html
Create/Login with your MI Account on the device.
Apply for unlocking the bootloader here: http://en.miui.com/unlock/
Install stable ROM if desired
2. Install official TWRP (NON-EU)
Boot into fastboot mode by turning off your device then pressing volume up and power button
Install Minimal ADB and Fastboot on your PC: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
Download the correct TWRP image file: https://dl.twrp.me/lithium/twrp-3.0.2-0-lithium.img.html
Copy the twrp file to where minimal adb and fastboot has been installed and rename the twrp file to twrp.img
Open fastboot on your computer and type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Code:
fastboot reboot
3. Install SuperSU in systemless mode
Download newest SuperSU: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu / http://download.chainfire.eu/1013/SuperSU/SR4-SuperSU-v2.78-SR4-20161115184928.zip
In ADB shell or TWRP shell, type
Code:
echo SYSTEMLESS=true > /data/.supersu
if you don't already have this file to configure SuperSU to install in systemless mode.
Flash SuperSU.
4. Boot to system
5. Boot into TWRP, install Magisk, suhide, Xposed
suhide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/suhide-t3450396
systemless xposed 86.2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3897543&d=1475913773
magisk: http://tiny.cc/latestmagisk
6. Boot to system and install Magistk Manager
magisk manager: http://tiny.cc/latestmanager
7. Install XPosed

Thank you so much for your help. I installed the ROM and have had it running for 2 days now. Coming from a HTC 10 (custom ROMed and everything), I;m really not digging MIUI on this phone. Lags so much it's literally driving me crazy. My 2 yrs old LG G2, which also has amazing screen-to-body ratio btw, runs circle around this phone. Really disappointed about this phone due to the software performance issues.

I don't experience any lags on the original ROM.
From my experience those micro-lags and performance issuese showed up on various devices in my Android past whenever something was wrong with the ROM. A clean flash mostly helped solve the problem.
I'm currently on the original Chinese stable with SuperSu and TWRP. It's blazing fast. What's the reason to flash the xiaomi.eu rom?

I had a nightmare trying to get to the EU Rom yesterday, I was mostly successful, however after a reboot i'd lose Touch in both TWRP and System. Thanks to this post from Chimera533 I was finally able to do it!
Anyway the main reason for the EU ROM is to get rid of all the Bloat and Chinese throughout the ROM that you cannot get rid of. It also has Google Services baked in properly so everything works correctly.
I also had a few other little niggles while on the Chinese ROM :-
Purchases from Google Play Movies wouldn't work
No Smart Lock while connected to Android Wear
No way to replace BAIDU and set Google as the search
So far i'm loving the EU Rom, i've not seen any lag at all while using it and pretty much everything seems to work exactly as it should - it has enhanced the MIX experience so much for me - love this thing!

Guys, how do I disable all battery saving optimizations / memory management optimzations? My background apps keep shutting automatically off after a while.
I'm on the default ROM without root (still waiting for developer approval)...

Go to the battery section & have a look around, you should find several settings for battery management.
You're gonna need root & an app such as Titanium Backup Pro, or, SD Maid Pro to disable a lot of the MIUI & Cheetah Mobile applications.
Fine tuning on a per app basis isn't enough (do not optimize battery savings for the apps you want to work properly, notifications, messaging, etc) .....
I highly recommend flashing the EU ROM, it seems to have better memory management than the Global ROM, but, you'll still need to disable a lot of the MIUI apps & all of the Cheetah Mobile s***ware to get memory management more to what you're used to experiencing.
One other item, go to Developer Options & disable MIUI Optimization, it should be the last item or close to it....

Passing SafetyNet on unlocked Bootloader, but without ROOT/Magisk?

Hello,
I have an unlocked bootloader, and SafetyNet 1st test (CTS Props) fails. Have someone found a way to solve this, but without Magisk/root?
I currently have a stock 9.6 version (which is the oldest I could find) installed, but would not mind to flash to any other version, including custom ROMs.. as long as I can make SafetNet works with bootloader unlocked.
On a side note, is there any custom ROM that flashes this phone to Android 6?
Thanks.
(And yes, I already used Search, but they all talk about Magisk).

I have not heard of any other means (for our phone) to hide unlocked bootloader form SafetyNet checking service, except Magisk with "Magisk Hide" option on.
If you are afraid of root: just do not grant root rights to any applications.
If you are afraid to tamper phone, just do not install any Magisk Modules (but, for example, using embedded "Systemless Host" module and a file manager with root rights I can avoid 99% of ads to my phone copying meaningful "hosts" file to /data/adb/modules/hosts/system/etc without tampering system and raising no problems with OTAs);
If you are afraid to loose ability of OTAs, just patch boot.img on phone, thus saving stock /boot image for "uninstalling Magisk", and do not tamper /system.
Note: since March, 2020, security updates Google can bypass Magisk Hide tricks at their will at any moment, and if they enforce this security rule, those who need SafetyNet would be forced to lock phones until Magisk developers could find a way to bypass Google's bypasses. It is like "armor vs shell" big game of XIX century.

If Google goes ahead with what it is considering, most of us will be in despair. In plain words Magisk, as it stands, will be able to hide root but not the unlocked bootloader status. So CTS / device integrity will fail.....

Yes, that's how I see it too. If Google enforces new "unlocked state" checks, those of us who do not want to lock (due to buggy OTAs from Xiaomy) and still want to use MiA2 and SafetyNet, will either have to "freeze" at a stock ROM version tricked to pass checks, or look towards a custom ROM and also freeze it, and thus live without security updates.

you can not flash android 6
if you dont want root why unlock your bootloader ?
just lock your bootloader using fastboot ( it is silly unless you are going to flash custom stuff )
* if it is to enable camera API2 there are methods without unlocked bootloader
**like others have told yoy and as you have read you can bypass it for now using Magisk

the lowest version you can downgrade to is Oreo ....

Update: With new EdXposed 0.4.6.3 (4537)-YAHFA module for Magisk 20.4 I have fully passing SafetyNet checks under Android 10 again.
Just do not forget to switch on Magisk Hide and include into EdXposedManager BlackList:
- Google Pay Services and Google Pay - mandatory,
- Google Service Framework and Google Play Market - optionally, for future ?,
- Bank apps.
Also do not forget to preliminary uninstall previous EdXposed and Reboot, then update magisk-Riru-core module and Reboot (I have 19.8), then update to latest EdXposedManager app (I have 4.5.7).
This version (4537) is somehow still missing in GitHub, got from here..

Question Rooting Guide For The Note 10 Pro Max (sweetin) ?

Can someone link me to a full rooting guide for the sweetin variant? It'll be a big help!

Hi
Rooting the sweetin is pretty straight forward like most Mi phones. I am sure you can google it and iron it out.
But just FYI, below are the steps -
Link Mi Account for unlocking in Developer options.
Unlock Bootloader using Mi Unlock Tool (lengthy, considering 15 days waiting period)
Flash latest TWRP
Install Magisk via TWRP.
Please let me know if you need further details

-Enable developer options
-Apply Mi for unlock
insert the active sim
register mi account using that sim
bind the number, account and phone in developer options for unlock
(you can take away sim, if you are using on another phone)
-Check using mi unlock tool and apply for it
you will get a time to wait of 168 hours(7 days)
-Unlock after the wait period
(device will be erased)
go enable developer options again
enable USB debugging
-TWRP
get the TWRP in this forum, which is very good with decryption and USB OTG/SD card access
use adb, fastboot commands on terminal and flash TWRP as your recovery and boot
(If you only want to boot without flash, you can do that too)
-Root with Magisk
with TWRP, you can flash magisk
(latest magisk will be available as apk, so change to zip and flash)
boot to ROM after flash success
-Update magisk
get magisk canary from magisk github(availabl as debug apk) and install that to update already flashed magisk(can use regular apk also which the magisk by itself will do)
canary magisk has the codes to read safety net pass correctly
-safety net check
enable magisk hide, and hide google play services, gpay or any other app you want to
flash magiskhide props config within magisk
check safety net from magisk(if canary) or by safet net test app or using gpay or any banking app
I assume, finer steps and details you already know.

depends on the rom, i believe
can be as simple as download update and flash(it goes through TWRP) or, you might have to download full ROM package, flash that, and then again flash magisk or even TWRP(esp if it gets replaced) sometimes
it varies

Sorry for not clearing it up, I meant by Xiaomi OTA's.
Do tell me what your procedure is gonna be when the next OTA comes out since you're on TWRP.
It'll be a big help since I don't want to use custom ROMs at the moment.

unfortunately, always, I move out of MIUI to AOSP based minimalistic ROMs(I like that way)
I might not be of help to you.
But, earlier, it was like this-
once bootloader unlocked, we won't get incremental MIUI updates
so, got to download full ROM, update
and after update, every time recovery will be replaced
so need to re flash TWRP, re flash Magisk
(i don't think anything much changed, still not very sure)

I see, I appreciate your input regardless.
Is it usually a dirty flash? or does it wipe out everything as in factory reset after installing the update?

Also, what custom rom have you been using?
Is it stable? Are all the cameras fully functional while using the aosp based rom?
I haven't unfortunately found a stable gcam that fully works with the note 10 pro yet, therefore I am being hesitant to switch to custom ROMs for now, otherwise, I would've flashed an AOSP rom in a heartbeat, I hate MIUI.

General MIUI 13 Same bad software with new problems

Hello people unfortunately I just updated to MIUI 13.0.1 on my 11t pro to find out that Xiaomi's promise of a good software are still not true. There are some problems that 12.5 had that are still present and there are new ones.
The problem that persist (in my case) are:
- Dark mode per app selection doesn't work. It never lists the apps. (I had a workaround with MIUI 12. If I searched for dark mode on settings and selected "more dark mode..." it listed the apps, but it was removed or bugged with updates)
NEW Problems:
- Wallpaper flickers when unlocking the phone.
- Beautiful blur effect on notification shade (take a look at the screenshots)
- Both problems tested with system launcher and Nova 7.
Of course there might be more, but those are the ones I've noticed just after updating. The blur effect is the most annoying thing, maybe it's a problem with the video driver or something.
Just let me know if you're facing the same issues or if I'm the only one.
Someone suggested, with another problem I had, flashing the Rom or a clean install would be a good idea. But please guide me if you can. I'm not unlocked nor rooted.

Have you tried to update system apps? Might be an update issue with the wallpaper app

That trick didn't work for me. Tried multi window thing but the app never got listed.
Of course I've already updated everything and in fact there was an update for the wallpaper app, but either way the problems are still there.
Can I downgrade to 12.5 enhanced?

Yep. If your bootloader is unlocked,
download your fastboot rom from https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/vili/
and flash it in fastboot, prolly better to wipe all data before doing this
BE SURE to back up your data

I use this app to back up my so it would be easy to recover my phone if i mess up anything

Thanks dude. I haven't unlocked my bootloader. If I can't find a solution at least for the blur effect I'll have to unlock it.
Xiaomi is making sure that this is my first and last xiaomi device. What a good hardware with such a terrible software.

Yeah it is a pain in the ass man but it what it is, a dicky move by Xiaomi indeed
Good luck hope you can fix your problem

xiaomi staff is garbage. period. they are the biggest brand out there now and they havent managed to make a single decent version of miui. i hope an aosp based rom comes out soon so i can get rid of this garbage OS and actually use my phone. that is inspite of all the hardware problems those cheap bastards have left in

Note that V13.0.1.0.SKDMIXM is a stable Beta and that it does not change much since in general Xiaomi later renames it Stable without changing anything.

Thank you all for the comments and contribution.
Well as an update first of all I just found another big improvement xiaomi software engineers made to the UI clearly visible on the Spotify app (check the screenshot) all buttons are messed up.
Secondly, well I can without the per app dark mode option and as a workaround for the beautiful blur effect on the notification shade. I switched to the "old version" of the control center and on Developer options disabled "Allow window-level blurs" on the "Hardware accelerated rendering" section.
It's not a perfect solution, but in the meantime it makes the problem manageable.
Probably I'll unlock the bootloader and try some Roms, because waiting for an update and for xiaomi to fix this issue, probably my warranty will expire first so... flashing it is

Thanks man for your answers is there a way to clean flash without rooting/unlocking.
In order to unlock the bootloader I have to wait some days, 7 if I'm not wrong, and before trying that maybe factory reset or something similar to Odin on samsung devices?
Just reinstalled Spotify app with no avail, buttons still messed up.

Magisk can be flashed in fastboot mode

Yeah, I thought I could wait a year and "enjoy" stock MIUI, but given the circumstances, guess I'll have to unlock and endure this crapoy software for the next days until I can unlock.

I have returned to 12.5.1.0 . Too many visual bugs on miui13 for me
and some apps don't work well maybe with android 12 (or miui13)

Vaizen said:
Hello people unfortunately I just updated to MIUI 13.0.1 on my 11t pro to find out that Xiaomi's promise of a good software are still not true. There are some problems that 12.5 had that are still present and there are new ones.
The problem that persist (in my case) are:
- Dark mode per app selection doesn't work. It never lists the apps. (I had a workaround with MIUI 12. If I searched for dark mode on settings and selected "more dark mode..." it listed the apps, but it was removed or bugged with updates)
NEW Problems:
- Wallpaper flickers when unlocking the phone.
- Beautiful blur effect on notification shade (take a look at the screenshots)
- Both problems tested with system launcher and Nova 7.
Of course there might be more, but those are the ones I've noticed just after updating. The blur effect is the most annoying thing, maybe it's a problem with the video driver or something.
Just let me know if you're facing the same issues or if I'm the only one.

I recommend factory reset the phone right after updating to miui 13, that's exactly what I did, didn't have any problems mentioned above, except for the dark mode option, my guess is this is not a bug but got completely removed instead.

Yep, I think I'll try factory reset first if it is still a mess then I'll start the unlock process.

1) Dark mode still got issue..u go to system app updater then u know.
2) Open battery setting, u scroll down then kick u out.
3) scan virus cannot go in.
4) WhatsApp voice message putting on my ear still coming out from loudspeaker. proximity sensor F up.
Last, my phone keep rebooting when playing mobile legend..
NOw searching way how to backup stuff in my phone before wipe data.

- Reboot your device to fastboot mode (press volume down + power)
- Connect to PC via USB cable
- Run fastboot installation script from unpacked zip according your PC operating system:
--- For Windows OS - windows_fastboot_update_rom.bat

--- For MacOS - macos_fastboot_update_rom.sh
but as a first time install, backup your important stuff and run
windows_fastboot_first_install_with_data_format.bat
it will format the data partition which will fix most of the problems when changing roms.

How To Guide Development status of Legion Y700 as far as I know

WARNING
This device is an "advanced" tablet that requires a variety of commands and slightly advanced skills. If you don't know words like "adb", "fastboot", "QFIL" ,or "EDL V2 cable", we recommend avoiding customization and operating with ZUI. And I cannot guarantee any damage caused by reading this.
Legion Y700's Stock ROM, ZUI, initially did not support languages other than English and Chinese (I am Japanese) and there was some hassle with using GMS (the latest version, ZUI14, adds an option to use a Google account). So I therefore decided to use GSI to remedy this shortcoming to some extent.
I therefore decided to use GSI to remedy this shortcoming to some extent. This is the flashing process for nazim's crDroid GSI that I wrote about earlier, and the basics are still the same today.
①Unlock bootloader with SN.img. This procedure is the same as for other Lenovo tablets such as the Xiaoxin Pad, so I'll skip this step.
②Put the tablet in Fastboote"d" mode. I usually enter this mode by pressing and holding the volume down and the power button to activate fastboot mode, then selecting "Enter Fastboot" from the recovery menu.
③You have to download the arm64 version from the crDroid GSI link that the text my first post in this thread. I recommend arm64-BgN-vndklite.
④I will assume that you have already configured Android Studio. Start a command prompt and type the command fastboot flash system (the img file you downloaded and unzipped) You can also do this by dragging and dropping the img file into the window before flashing system.
⑤Operate the tablet; proceed to Enter recovery→Wipe data/factory reset to initialize the tablet's data. Otherwise, it will freeze at the title.
⑥Reboot system now and after a while crDroid will start.

I recommend crDroid for the following reasons.
This GSI is stable and has few crashes. Performance in games is also kept at a high level.
This GSI supports Face Unlock, which is important because the Y700 does not support fingerprint recognition.
Those who do not need facial recognition or do not want a landscape lock screen can try other ROMs such as LineageOS.
Android 13's GSI is also much more stable than earlier versions. I haven't used it yet because Lawnchair doesn't support it natively, but if you don't, I recommend this one as well. crDroid as well as Project Elixir, which is officially certified, seem to have good battery life.
By the way, there seems to be a problem with Android 13 GSI where "Face Unlock" does not work. However, I found a module called biometric-restore in Pixel Experience's Telegram Group.
It is also possible to return to ZUI by using QFIL.
https://smartasw.com/archives/15575
If Bricked by ROM flash, etc., it may be possible to use an EDL V2 cable (sold by Aliexpress, etc.) to make it ready to flash with QFIL.
I have a bit of writing to do, but I will end here. I will add more when I have more time.

These are perfotmance magisk module for Snapdragon 870
①Thermal Qualcomm 870 (recommended for v5.0)
②Adreno GPU Driver for SM8250 (need HuskyDG's overlayfs v1.13)

And now, Adreno 650 in the Snapdragon 870 is clock limited by Qualcomm to 683MHz. I would like to know if anyone knows how to unlock this.

Project Elixir GSI is an "official" GSI because its maintainer, Mr. UGLYKID24, is certified by the Elixir development team. On the other hand, crDroid is an "unofficial" GSI because Mr. Nazim is not certified (Ancient OS, which is also certified under Nazim's ROM, is considered an official GSI).

Hey FIERA03, I see you removed the LPDDR and Cache module. Did they have issue?

- can you show me how to install
"By the way, there seems to be a problem with Android 13 GSI where "Face Unlock" does not work. However, I found a module called biometric-restore in Pixel Experience's Telegram Group." ???
- No double taps, no lift to wake, always use the power button is not convenient
- thank you

I heard that this ROM can be installed and used on P11 and P12. Then, wouldn't it be possible on Y700? I don't have the skills, so I'm asking.

I can't seem to flash the system file, I get this error:
C:\Users\Mike\Desktop>fastboot flash system C:\Users\Mike\Desktop\crDroid-8.13-arm64_bgN-Unofficial.img
target reported max download size of 268435456 bytes
Invalid sparse file format at header magi
I unlocked my bootloader using the "fastboot oem unlock-go" command because I couldn't get the SN.img file to work. It does show my bootloader as unlocked. Could this be my issue? Also, my tablet is 12GB 256GB, not sure if that changes which crDroid file I should flash...any help is greatly appreciated.

I figured it out, I was using an outdated version of fastboot. Downloaded this and worked like a charm!
