Can I install MIUI ROMs trough TWRP like any other ROM?

I just get the Mi5 and like I said in other se treads, im kind desapointed with the MIUI mostly because the touchscreen, performance and the notifications bar. I realy into adveture myself in the world of the custom ROMs, like CM 14.1, but my doubt is.. Can I only go back to complete Stock by flashing MIUI by Fastboot or can be installed trough TWRP like any other ROM?

official MIUI - use MI flashtool via fastboot method only
unofficial MIUI - flash via TWRP recovery or MI flashtool will also work

Sure you can. Actually I used twrp to update the stable version of miui for countless times. It is OK, at least for my 64G mi5

No. Official rom you must need miui flash tool.

you can flash Custom recovery form EDL mode even in bootloader locked

Hi. What would be the safest way to go back to global stable rom? I am on miui eu 6.11.10. Boot loader is unlocked, and my recovery is twrp 3.0.2.0. In recovery I get error message when I try to clear cache "can't mount cache". I just want to be able to receive ota, got tired of changing roms. Thanks

Hi I'm on eu Stable 8.1.6. I want to flash developer Global 7.1.19. What is the safest way? Can I do it by TWRP and what I should wipe?

Yes; if you do a backup via TWRP of your miUI rommed device: sysimage + data + boot
advice: save it outside of the device (your computer, etc) for storage.
Then you can go frolicking with wathever rom you want, when tired put back in the device the backup files; reboot in recovery and via TWRP do a restore.
advice 2: as a baseline for a good/solid backup save also "efs" (that is the modem/sim stuff).
Why sysimage and not system?
Because that is an image (all the bytes) and the other is just the bytes in use; so sysimage will be a larger (in mb/gb) file but a more robust one (backup wise).
...
and for the two who inserted their personal questions in this semi-old thread...

the mi5 forum: http://en.miui.com/forum-92-1.html
the rom download page with the official flashing guides: http://en.miui.com/download-299.html
Because to do what you ask you have the recovery method and the fastboot method.

Going from eu to global ROM by TWRP what should I wipe (data, system, dalvik, cashe...)?

Please help to install ROM in [Raphaelin]

Please help me. I can't seem to understand what exactly I need to do in order to install a custom ROM on my K20 Pro (Global 10.3.5.0.) I have tried following this (https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20...0-pro-t3953844) post thoroughly and others as well, but can't seem to exactly understand what I am required to do. Most custom ROM's state [Raphael], but as I purchased this device in India, it would most probably be [Raphaelin], after unlocking the Bootloader and installing TWRP, am I supposed to flash a Custom ROM (for ex. Lineage OS) directly or would I have to install a ROM which would make my device [Raphael]? Vendor and Firmware have gone over my head, I do not understand what I need to di. If someone could help me out, It would be mean a lot. Thank you.

If you're running stock MIUI and haven't moved to any custom MIUI's till date then you can straight away flash LOS. Moreover, most of the custom roms work on multiple vendors irrespective of whether it is a China Vendor or India or Global. It doesn't matter till the time the developer specifically asks you to be on a particular vendor.
Vendor isn't a dreaded thing. It's just the drivers needed to run the various components in the device (BT, WiFi etc). Till the time you don't wipe the vendor partion in twrp, you would always be good to go. You could carry on flashing custom roms w/o careing about the vendor.

Thank you very much for your reply. So, just to check if I have understood correctly. I can just install TWRP and then flash Lineage OS straight away, right? I checked (https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/development/rom-lineageos-16-0-t3965311), and it mentioned:
Instructions :
Download the latest build and GApps
Reboot to recovery
Flash proper vendor and firmware
Flash the latest build and GApps
Reboot
What is "proper vendor and firmware"? And would I also be required to flash this?
Thank you.

Go back to the Lineage instructions and read immediately below that. It starts P.S.
It explains exactly proper vendor and firmware means.
No you won't need to install anything for this step

Nope ! You don't need to flash vendor + firmware as you already running an untouched stock MIUI build. That is for people who are coming from either modified MIUI builds (EU, Miroom etc) or custom roms with a different vendor (India device running on China Vendor)
Custom roms don't carry the Vendor Firmware files and you can only modify the existing Vendor when you move to other region stock or custom MIUI roms.
Back up your data on Internal storage to a safe place either on a PC or OTG. Skip this step if you have nothing important.
Boot In TWRP
Wipe System, Data , Cache , Dalvik
(Don't reboot at this point, Not Even a Recovery reboot)
Flash LOS
Flash GApps
Go to Advanced Wipe and Format Data by typing Yes
Reboot

Did you do FORMAT Data (not just Wipe) when you installed your custom ROM, and before rebooting?

before flash wipe cache and dakvik and data and system...(the problem persists without and with wipes)
i have tried Pixel experience - Havoc -Evolution X....
also tried flashing global vendor before flash rom, but it also doesn't work.

Are you booting into MIUI at least once after flashing it, before flashing anything else?
I've stopped doing the mount/unmount. I now always reboot back into TWRP after formatting data, seems more reliable.
In TWRP do a factory reset, then format data, then reboot back into TWRP.
After this install the ROM you want

Step 4 needs to be format data, not wipe data, you have to type 'yes' to confirm when you do it.

1 No

If you want to flash something else, remove lockscreen security first before flashing. This should allow you to dirty flash an update, or clean flash a new ROM, without problems. You only need to format data when flashing over MIUI.
If you get into problems and you cannot successfully get a custom ROM working, this is when you need to flash MIUI first.
You only need to flash vendor/firmware files when the custom ROM recommends/requires a version that is different to what you currently have.

The emoji's screwed up my reply. Try again.
1. Next time create a new post, don't resurrect a vaguely similar old post.
2. Restore MIUI with a fastboot ROM and try again. Use my guide here to help you install the ROM of choice.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/simple-guide-flipkart-owners-t4151007/post83329343
If you're not sure what you're doing, follow the guide exactly, do not freestyle.

1.Install any rom
2. In recovery factory reset or change data partition to ext2 and then again back to ext4
Reboot
It will boot.

When flashing you will actually need vendor and firmware files together.
These are taken from the official MIUI fastboot ROMs. You can find them repackaged in a single flashable zip file from here.
https://downloads.akhilnarang.dev/MIUI/raphael/
Flashing one of these files in TWRP is the easiest way to go.
You can also find then repackaged as separate zip files from here
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/
This site has a much greater archive, so is good if you need an older version that you can't find in the other site. You will need to make sure you download vendor and firmware files for the same version.
You should always stick to the version that is for the region of your phone. e.g. Indian vendor and firmware for an Indian K20 Pro, etc.
Some ROMs use an OSS vendor and so this is included as part of the ROM install. In which case there is no need to flash the MIUI vendor.
When a new version of MIUI is released, vendor and firmware files might get updated, to fix a bug or to add extra functionality. In this case some custom ROM devs will include them so that they get the bug fixes or extra functionality in their ROM too. When this happens they will update the minimum vendor and firmware version requirements for their custom ROM - the version will be the actual MIUI version in which the vendor and firmware files were updated.
Where a ROM doesn't specify vendor and firmware and doesn't have an OSS vendor, then it normally implies that any version will work that is from MIUI based on the same Android version. In this case use the most recent version, which you will already have if you've kept up to date with MIUI updates.
When installing a new ROM, you will only need to flash vendor and firmware files if your current version is less than the required version of the new ROM.

Can't flash Lineage on MI 9T Pro: "package requires firmware from an Android 10 based MIUI build"

Really badly need some help here. My MI 9T Pro is on MIUI 12.5. When I first tried to flash Lineage 18.1 on the device (a week ago), I got the error message about Android 10 based MIUI build(in the subject line). I flashed the latest stable EEA firmware and tried again (I may have wiped too much in TWRP here: dalvik, cache, data, system, vendor). Then I got into a bad Fastboot loop (couldn't even flash back to TWRP). Don't remember how I got out of that (I think I flashed an empty vbmeta file onto the phone: vbmeta_dv_shivsom.img ).
Flashed back to MIUI stock 12.5 to get a clean start. Worked fine. Then flashed Pixel Experience, which worked fine. Flashed back to MIUI stock. Tried Lineage again. Got the same Android 10 error message before even beginning the flash. Then unzipped the Lineage ROM and edited the file updater-script (removing the Assert lines in the script). Zipped it back and tried to flash the modded ROM. Flash went through, but on reboot it got stuck on Fastboot. Have now done this in several rounds, gone back to stock, tried Lineage 17.1. Tried only doing Factory Reset and Format vs Wiping Cache and Dalvik). I also tried with the latest Havoc 4.8, same result. Tried with a modded Havoc. Tried to flash the latest China firmware before flashing the ROMs, didn't help. I'm totally stuck here and any help would be fantastic.

Forgot to mention. I also get the ERROR 7 message together with the Android 10 error message. (And when I tried to flash Havoc I got the ERROR 1 message together with the Android 10 error message.)

Thanks a lot. The phone was bought i Europe (new). Flashed back to the 12.5 EEA stock from mi. But if you think the global version will make a difference, I can try that (if that works, any ideas why the EEA version would cause all these problems?).

You should be using the European ROM with the European phone, global ROM shouldn't make a difference. Try flashing the European firmware that is linked in the LOS OP.
When flashing you do not need to wipe system or vendor.
It is as rare as hens teeth the times when you need to wipe either system or vendor. In future did not do this. In future, only do the standard TWRP factory reset for a clean flash. There is almost never any need top go to the advanced wipe screen in TWRP.

Will do. Yes, I followed bad step by step instructions and wiped too much on the first flash attempt. But any damage from aggressive wiping should be eliminated after I used the official MI flash tool and flashed it back too stock? Or is there any changes that remain on the devise after going back to pristine stock? ( Will stick to Factory Reset and Format Data in TWRP going forward.)

Flashing stock fastboot ROMs will restore everything.

TWRP Bootloop

When I try to install a ROM, no problem installing TWRP and flashing a ROM.
But when I restart, whatever the ROM it systematically restarts on TWRP.
Everything is back to normal when I reinstall the MiUi ROM.
I installed vbmeta, TWRP is kept even with the MiUi ROM.
I tried to install a ROM on MiUi but nothing happened, TWRP is launched systematically after restarting.
I tried with several versions of TWRP but nothing worked.
Also with LOLz kernel with and without; and Magisk too.

Sleep on it !
you have to format DATA and not Wipe !

Hello guys! I'm new here and don't know where to get help. My phone (Xiaomi 4g [phoenix]) has a weird bootloop to it.
I installed Miui 13 eu rom via the name of file is "windows_fastboot_first_install_with_data_format" now I get a bootloop that goes back to TWRP.

Is it always necessary when clean flashing latest crdroid custom ROM?

sorry for the super late response
its supposedly for bypassing android verfied boot (avb). it blocks unauthorized roms from booting. if you search for 'what is vbmeta', we literally get no info at all and mainly speculations (no official docs etc). imho it does seem true
