Question Does Redmi Note 10 Pro support Seamless System Updates? - Redmi Note 10 Pro

I have rooted MIUI 13.0.4. Global on my device. I want to be able to install OTA updates whenever it comes. I don't want to go through the hassle of unhrooting and rehrooting my phone in order to install every single update.
I was searching for information regarding this when I saw on a forum that OTA updates can be installed on Mi A2 by utilising A/B partitions. I found on phhusson treble_experimentations GitHub wiki page that Redmi Note 10 Pro support A/B type image. Also 'Treble Info app shows that this device use an A/B Operating System. But this app also shows that Seamless System Updates are not supported.
Can anyone using stock MIUI confirm this using Treble Info or Treble Check app?

I did some more google+ing and found some more info.

But the main question still remains. Does it support Seamless System Updates or no!‍

It doesn't.‍
I used 'fastboot getvar all to confirm this as well as Treble Check app.

[RECOVERY] [OFFICIAL] {sprout} Official TWRP 2.8.1.0 for Android One Devices

Official Team Win Recovery Project for Android one
Between low prices, Nexus-style Android builds, and updates straight from Google, the Android One phones currently on sale in India seem like ideal tinker machines. Now those who want to play with custom ROMs, software modifications, or just want an easy way to root and backup their phones have an official Team Win Recovery Project build available to them. The custom recovery can be downloaded from the official TWRP page . TWRP isn't the first recovery created for Android One, but it's probably the most anticipated.
The first three devices sold under the Android One label are the Spice Dream UNO Mo-498, the Karbonn Sparkle V, and the Micromax Canvas A1. Though the phones vary a bit in case design and ornamentation, they have essentially identical hardware and software, currently Android 4.4. An official Lollipop software update has been promised by Google. Since all three phones are nearly identical, the TWRP build published on the official site should work for all of them. This is the latest version of TWRP, 2.8, with all kinds of tools for flashing multiple ZIP files and customizing the interface.
If you're new to Android modding, here's how it works: you'll need to unlock your phone's bootloader by placing it in fastboot mode and issuing the "fastboot oem unlock" command via a PC with the Android SDK (or a custom alternative) installed. (Note: this will probably wipe all of the data on your phone, but not your MicroSD card.) Then you can flash the TWRP file with "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-sprout.img". It's easy to mess this stuff up if you're not used to it, so check out THIS GUIDE and substitute the CWM file with TWRP. While you're there, there are already quite a few custom ROMs for Android One that you can check out.

GSI Install procedure?

I want to try out some GSIs with face unlock (havoc, pixel experience plus) but I don't know if it can be done. Last I installed GSIs you had to use Android 10 as a base. I'm not sure how to downgrade Pixel 5 since the earliest factory image is Android 11. Does anyone know if there is any working method to get GSIs working?
I've tried a few via fastboot flash system but I get:
invalid sparse file format at header magic
I've tried flashing the GSI images in the latest test3 TWRP and still no results. just reboots and goes to fastboot.
If GSIs are not possible on Pixel 5 atm, is there any ROM in development that I should look out for face unlock in future, as none seem to have it atm. I might stick with Lineage until then.
Thanks for reading.

Thanks for this, good to know there's a rom for stable gsi install. Still can't seem to get this running, I followed the procedure on gsis and also just tried to flash system_b and set the active to b. it was successful but still boot looped back to bootloader. You are more knowledgeable than I am, would you give it a go and report back?

Confusion with firmware, vendor etc.

Hey guys,
as my last phone was an OPO where flashing custom roms was pretty simple, I don't understand the principle of flashing the Mi 9T Pro, where you always have to consider and install separately the right version of firmware, vendor etc. I would be thankful if someone could explain it to me.
I try to order my questions:
Why are ROM, firmware and vendor separated and don't come together in a single file?
How do I find out the correct version of firmware for my phone? And what is the difference between those versions, eg. China, Global and EU? And is EU the same as EEA?
The recommendation is always to update the firmware when flashing a ROM - but for vendor it is not (like for LineageOS 18.1) - why? Wouldn't it be beneficial to update vendor, too? As I understand, vendor contains necessary proprietary binaries.
Is it recommended to regularly update the firmware even if there is no update for my ROM? And what is the most comfortable way, is something like OTA possible?
What is different about TWRP images with a "_9"? (twrp-3.5.0_9-0-raphael.img vs. twrp-3.4.0-0 or -1). Recently broke the recovery of my OPO when I installed its latest twrp version which had the 9

If you stick with stock ROMs, you don't need to worry anout firmware, vendor, etc.
You update by OTA or by downloading the so-called zip/recovery package that can be installed by the stock recovery or from TWRP
Only in rare occasions (usually when people screw something, want to go back from custom ROMs and so), you would need Xiaomi Flash tool and the so-called tgz/fastboot packages.
They include vendor and again, you don't need to worry about downloading and flashing vendor
How (and do you really) need downloading and flashing vendor for LOS, I have no idea (I don't use AOSP ROMs)
What do you mean by Eu?
If you mean Xoaomi.eu ROMs - they are not the same as stock EEA ROMs.
Actually, Xiaomi.eu IS NOT stock or even not an official ROM endorsed by Xiaomi Inc.
Personally, I started on my Mi 9T two years ago with A9/MIUI 10 (I think). Mine was EEA and I followed the updates till A10/MIUI 11.
From the beginning I unlocked Bootloader, played with various versions and incarnations of TWRP, I always rooted my phone with the latest (Canary) Magisk, played with debloating, various Magisk modules, etc.
I also played with Kali Nethunter at the time
Never in my carrier I needed to use Xiaomi Flash tool and tgz/fastboot firmwares (specially not vendor packages), always only zip/recovery ROM packages were enough for me
A year ago I moved to Xiaomi.eu weeklies. A month ago I decided it was enough and settled to Xiaomi.eu but Stable.
Xiaomi.eu, both weeklies and stable are built on A11/MIUI 12.5 (recently stock was finally also updated to A11/MIUI 12+ but I didn't return to stock)
Since 'official' Magisk is kind of 'dead' for 5 or so months, for the last two months I play with Magisk Alpha (recently incl. Zygisk and so)
Again, I have no experience (and no interests at all) about AOSP and GSI ROMs, particularly the LOS (in my past life with another phone, I used an earlier version of LOS for quite some time there)

His Github page where you can download the 'latest official' Alpha:

Newer, unofficial (I'm on the latest) can be downloaded here:

t.me
You download and install Magisk (Alpha) apk (formerly, in Magisk v22 it was Magisk mngr)
If you are already rooted, you can take then Direct install to 'upgrade' to the same Magisk Alpha version
If you were not rooted yet, you can patch your boot.img (it can be extracted from your zip/recovery or tgz/fastboot stock ROM), later you will flash that patched img by Fastboot.
Instead of boot.img, you can patch boot.emmc.win Boot backup from TWRP
You can also rename magisk apk file (that Magisk Alpha app you downloaded) to install.zip and flash through TWRP (old school for those who are accustomed to flash Magisk zip through TWRP).
If you have the latest 3.5.-9 official TWRP, you don't even need to rename, you can flash as it was downloaded as magisk apk file
But be aware that Magisk Alpha has no more MagiskHide, instead it is now DenyList.
And configuring DenyList to pass SafetyNet is another (short) story

Hi I'm K20pro/Mi 9t pro user currently on latest 12.5.1.0 raphael stock rom, can you give bit of advice about going to eu stable rom(12.5.6.0 latest) from stock miui. I do have orange fox recovery installed but confused about what to wipe(dalvik/cache/...other options) or format data(yes confirmation option) and if rom flash needs to be in clean internal storage via format data(yes confirmation option), will i need latest firmware with it or just eu rom.
After that i will install magisk
I'm pretty much new custom roms with just a week of 35-40 hours of research, I will be glad if you or anyone reading this, willing to clear my doubts.
Thank you in advance

Do not wipe any other partition, specially not Persist (you would loose DRM L1), modem, and so on.
Since you are on stock, all that is good and Xiaomi.eu will actually flash only to System and Vendor
You probably use pin or pattern for screen unlocking, you will need to enter the same when you boot to OF/TWRP that it can read Internal memory (later, when you Format Data it will be gone and you will have to setup your pin/pattern again once you boot to your new System)
First time you boot to the new System give it some time (might be slow at first, doing things in the background)
Xiaomi.eu 'hides' that Bootloader is unlocked, hence you will pass SafetyNet (i e., Device will be certified in Playstore) right away
You will also have DRM L1 (you may need to download the certificate, but that's easy)
When you later need to reboot to OF/TWRP, you don't need to struggle with key combos - in Xiaomi.eu, from System updater, when you open the top-right menu, you have Reboot to recovery option (root not needed)
Later you can think about rooting with Magisk, installing nodules, additionally debloating, etc
Be aware that raphael is on the end-of-line and it's not clear would it receive any more Xiaomi.eu updates (or if, then just a newer Security Patch).
But that's also the case with stock

Doesn't matter if it's last Weekly as long as you are satisfied with.
Btw, I thought you'd be little more conservative and go for Stable, but probably differences are minor
Stable is MIUI 12.6 (also A11) with Security patch Oct 1 - what are your parameters?
Also, check Widewine L1 certificate and update if neccessary:
Settings / Passwords and security / Fingerprint unlock / Fingerprint payments
Check do you have Widevine L1 cert.
If necessary, take Certificate update
Btw, you are ready now for Magisk, AdAway, Vanced YT, Viper4Android, CustoMIUIzer and so

Question Is there a TWRP Recovery for Xiaomi 12Pro yet?

Is there a TWRP Recovery for Xiaomi 12Pro yet? Thanks.
Nope
There won't be any in the near future
devices which got released with android 12 out of the box might not have TWRP because of new partitioning
Very disheartening
very saddened
Seamless System Updates
Google introduced a new feature called A/B Partition Scheme which makes installing software updates easier on Android devices.
Most of the new devices that came in and after 2019 will have this feature. Because of this, the way we install TWRP on Android has changed.
Simply put, depending on the availability of the A/B Partition Scheme on your device, the installation method will vary.
there is a version of twrp available check out https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/shared-twrp-by-skkk.4467233/

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.

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.
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 Telegram, so I share the link.

It is also possible to return to ZUI by using QFIL.

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.

What do you mean by Project Elixir is officially certified?

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!
