Changing ROM (From RR to Xiaomi EU)

Hi.
I've been using RR MOD (8.1) for like a month now but now the Xiaomi EU ROM based on MIUI 10 has come out and I want to try it.
How do I install it? Do I clear everything? Do I install something first? Help please

Just flash as usual.
- Wipe data, cache, system (dont forget to backup your important files)
- Flash MIUI
- Flash lazy flasher (optional)
Keep in mind
If you flash global beta version, it will replace your TWRP, you need to flash your recovery by fastboot whith pc.
China version, cannot replace your TWRP.

Hi,
with the xiaomi.eu rom, you won't loose your recovery. Just follow instructions told by @MattHdH :
- Wipe data, cache, system (dont forget to backup your important files)
- Flash MIUI
Reboot.
Done !

Custom rom to stable

Hello,
I'am french and sorry for my very bad english.
i have buy the xiaomi mi 8 china Version. After waiting 360h for unlock bootloader i Do it and install xiaomi.eu rom (MIUI 10 beta). Now i would like to install the global official global beta rom
What Can i need to do?
Do it with TWRP and wipe data and dalvik cache and flash the global rom with TWRP and reboot?
No bootloop?
Or maybe use miflash?
What is the good method.
Do i need to use dm-verity for twrp and to doesn't brick phone or bootloop?
Twrp will be loose?
Sorry again, And thanks for all replies.

download the global beta miui 10 8.8.21. it's a zip file, here in xda
if it's a zip file always use TWRP.
if it's tgz file - use Fastboot ( Mi Flash tool)
make sure you are in latest twrp version and flash Force-encryption/DM-Verity after flashing rom.
don't ever try to lock bootloader and be careful when using mi flash tool it has option to lock so don't use it this option.

Thanks. And when i need to do wipe cache and wipe dalvik?
Cache before flashing rom?
Dalvik After dm-verity or After rom flash?

Redmi 4X: .EU don't wipe system / LOS wipe system (?)

Hi everyone,
I'm using Redmi 4X (China Version) currently with the latest 8.11.15 Global Beta ROM. I would like to flash TWRP again and go back to Xiaomi.EU ROM. I'm a bit confused because: If I want to flash LineageOS for Redmi 4X (santoni), in the instructions it says "wipe system" but in Xiaomi.EU they say "don't wipe system". So if I want LOS for now, and then Xiaomi.EU, who is wrong and who is right? Or will I have any issues if I wipe system?
Yours sincerely,
CyNote / peryson

Wiping system is must before flashing any custom rom.

In Xiaomi.EU site they are saying when you flash their rom, do not wipe system or persist! (I'm confused)
Because I wanted to try LineageOS, and in LOS site they say to wipe system.

You must need to clean flash (including wiping system) when switching between different ROM but you don't need to wipe system if you are flashing same ROM or it's update.
E.g. as now you are using MIUI 8.11.15, so whenever next update releases you can flash update without wiping system.
So if you want to flash Lineage OS and your device has currently installed ROM is MIUI then you'll have to clean flash including wiping system.
This same applies to all other ROMs. If currunt ROM and the ROM you want to flash are different then you'll have to wipe system too.
If you've already installed xiaami.eu ROM installed already then you don't need to wipe system, you can directly flash update/on top of it.
Xiaomi.eu and MIUI are two different ROMs.
MIUI is official ROM from Xiaomi and Xiaomi.eu is modified ROM from official MIUI ROM hence they are different and requires clean flash if you switch in between.
You'll have clean flash including wiping system in order to flash Lineage OS on your device.
Do take full backup of your data before flashing.
Hope it clears your doubt.

Very quick question!

1. Yes you can dirty flash but clean is always recommended whenever version changes. Always take backup in any case go wrong. Gapps are included in all global miui roms. After rom flash latest magisk.
2. No need to flash lazy flasher after magisk. Data will be there.
