1) Yes
2) Please backup your internal storage data first because it might wipe the storage to get rid of the encryption
With twrp I wiped all except system to get rid of the encryption but didn't work. I flashed zcx and now It reads the storage fine.. so if I want to go on LOS rom can i use zcx ?

To remove encryption you need to format not wipe. This will wipe your apps, settings and internal storage. Flashing los, you can use either official or zcx but it's recommended to use official. But to flash miui recovery roms you must use zcx or it won't boot.
Hi, I have a rooted mi5 without Twarp recovery now, how can I install v4A without any flashing? coz I don't want to format my partition. Any help please? Thanks in advance
well, everything will be easier if u install twrp now. And you dont have to format anything . Just install twrp app and flash recovery.
Hello guys.
I've just tried to update to MIUI 9.0.1.0 NDDMIEI from MIUI 8.5.9.0 NDDMIED on device Xiaomi Mi Max 2 but it failed.
I have an unlocked bootloader and SuperSu installed, but the recovery is Mi Stock Recovery. :cyclops:
I had directly booted TWRP Recovery without flashing using
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
to flash SuperSu on device. :good:
Need support with this issue. I don't want to flash whole ROM every time I recieve an update.

i successfully flashed to miui v9(V9.0.1.0.NDDMIEI) over miui v8(V8.5.8.0.NDDMIED) without data wipe. all my data were intact
Keep a backup just in case
make sure you downloaded recovery flashable full rom package ~1.38GB (not the 500mb OTA update )
donot wipe data/cache/dalvik
flash via TWRP recovery
just flashing rom wont boot due to dm-verity. (result will be bootloop)
u need to flash super user or magisk (or lazy flasher "ive not tried though" ) which patches boot.img which makes rom bootable

I'll give it a try. Currently I have data wiped and installed full ROM through fastboot method. So next time, for sure I'll give it a shot.
But I have a doubt, where TWRP be able to flash an MIUI ROM. I mean the bootloader unlocked, encrypted system partition and all.
Since you have your device rooted, first install flashify, and backup your stock recovery. Then you can flash twrp recovery and install Miui 9, and root the device again. Last, install flashify again and restore your stock recovery.

Can you give stock recovery from mi max 2? I forgot to back up his original recovery stock and was hit with twrp.
After unlocked bootloader i installed twrp for installing for custom rom.
I follow all steps of flashing custom rom , gapps n all that from rom threads ,even by watching tutorial , it flashed properly showing in recovery ..but when i reboot to system phone stuck on mi logo.
i tried rom like Rr, dotos, coltos, lineage. But getting nothing.
Help me !!
Current using redmi 4x betarom
If you had followed the instructions on the XDA threads like you say then you must've been able to have a successful flash.
For flashing custom ROM:
1)Unlock Bootloader
2)Flash TWRP
3)Copy your downloaded ROM and Gapps zip to Internal storage OR SD card.
4)Boot into TWRP
5)Wipe System+Data+Cache+Dalvik
6)Flash ROM zip first and then Gapps secondly.
7)Wipe Cache+Dalvik.
8)Reboot.
If you followed these instructions in the exact same order and flashed a compatible ROM for your phone you shouldn't have any trouble in booting the ROM.
Next time try this:
Unlock bl
Boot into twrp
Format data
Restart and boot into twrp again by volume plus volume up. Format data again.
Now go to twrp home-settings-advanced-fix boot/disable verification and wait for few seconds.
Now unmount and mount data partition. Transfer rom zip file to internal memory by pc and install it. Its bound to work.
Check if system is mounted from TWRP recovery if not then enable it.
Also check if TWRP recovery is on latest version or not.(do backup everything if there is need of updating TWRP recovery)
I suggest you to use the pixel experience rom, it doesn't need gapps, just flash one zip file of the room itself

I'm using this and it's super fine
Hello,
I am trying to install lineage OS on my 9t pro, but it fails every time.
I managed to unrbick my phone thanks to miflash, but now i'm totally stuck
So, i'm on miui Global 11 QFKEUXM, and i can install twrp-3.3.1-22-raphael-mauronofrio.
Then, if I try to flash a rom with it (i also tried RevengeOS), i'm going to be stuck in a bootloop, until it goes to twrp again.
When it appens, i can't access files from my computer anymore, all folders seems to have random names like "uzehfj405Cuh5635azP5IUHDPuZ".
So i have to use miflash to go back to miui. I don't know what's wrong i've spent hours trying, can someone help me ?
Thanks and have a nice day
EDIT :
Indeed i didn't format data in TWRP. I tried to, and i'm still in that boot loop unfortunatly.
But this time, file system seems to be ok because i can access internal storage from my computer
EDIT2 :
I think the problem come from GAPPS. If i format then flash lineage without GAPPS, I can boot it
But if then i try to flash them, it won't boot anymore.
I am using the "nano" package here https://sourceforge.net/projects/opengapps/files/arm64/beta/20191114/
Is this incorrect ?
hi,
have already format data in TWRP?

See bro When we buy the android the the storage is
Encrypted , when you unlock the bootloader and install TWRP it doesn't decrypt the internal storage that's why only the stick rom i.e. Miui can access the storage , here is what you need to do ..
Install TWRP then go to wipe then click on format data and type yes this will decrypt the internal storage and so that any custom rom you install can access the data ..
Make sure that you format data then reboot trwp and then connect the phone to of transfer the files and install the rom and gappa it will boot just fine
Although for some reason when i install the LOS my storage gets decrypt again I say you try the EvoX rom which doesn't require gappa just flash the rom and the firmware
Also there is some force decrypt zip file that lets you decrypt the internal storage because sometime install the firmware may encrypt your storage again so flash that DFE file you will find that in telegram grp ..
Basically you can't boot into rom and see files on computer cause your storage is encrypted and only Miui can decrypt it unless decrypted ...
Hope it help
Every time when you want to flash aosp or other custom rom you need to format data ( wiping isnt enough because of encryption) when coming from stock miui or miui eu rom.
Best way is to read instruction of rom you want to install.
My steps are when coming from stock miui:
Install twrp
Boot to twrp
Format data with yes
Reboot to twrp
Copy rom you want to install to internal storage, usually you need also rom+vendor file of latest stable miui.
Flash vendor+rom of stable miui
Wipe dalvick+ cache
Flash custom rom (los, evolutionx...)
Wipe dalvick+ cache
Flash gapps if needed
Wipe dalvick + cache
Reboot to system, set your system to your liking
Then reboot to twrp to flash magisk ( if you like to be rooted, otherwise continue to use rom as is)
Best is to read install instructions of rom you want to install

Maybe it's the vendor. What device do you have (china, global, etc.)?

I think it's a global one, but now i have doubts... Is there a way to be sure ?
In the MIUI i managed to flash with miflash, it's sayed MIUI GLOBAL
vladsendrix said:
if it s a mi9t pro its probbably the global version, to make sure try downloading the firmware and vendor from here https://downloads.akhilnarang.me/MIUI/raphael/ . try downloading the global and indian version and try both since you dont know whihch model you have. also dont forget to format before trying anything. hope i helped

I'm a bit affraid to flash indian version, it's says to not cross flash ^^
I’d flash MIUI.eu before lineage, let it boot and then do the whole process to install lineage. Yo don’t have nothing to lose.

well i d rrecommen you put your device in fastboot, go to aXiaomiADBFastbootTools and it ll show you your model number or use TOOLSALLINONE. Search ythese on xda and youll find the links and that will definetly show you your model number

What fastboot commands should I use to get the model number ? I tried fastboot oem get-psid but it didnt work
When I boot MIUI, in the settings its "MIUI GLOBAL QFKEUXM". So it's correct isn't it ?
