Hello, Im owner of Xiaomi Note Pro for 1 day. I recived phone with pre installed Miui rom which is Polish version. I want to flash the global miui 7 version. I found solution to flash it via updater app. Just rename rom.zip to update.zip and choose it in app, also i have kind of miui recovery but I'm not able to backup so Im bit scared of flashing. How to flash rom without getting bricked ?
I had lg g2 before with twrp but with note pro i would like to do it easiest way
I'm having the damnest time trying to get TWRP installed.
I've installed ROMS before on my galaxy notes, so I'm not a total noob.
I'm well aware that the TWRP version needs to match the ROM version.
I'd LIKE to get the EU rom installed. Here's what I've tried:
Custom Roms: Need installation via TWRP, which I can't get working.
Miflash: Keeps looking for *.bat files, which don't seem to exist in the ROMS i'm downloading
Updater app - won't install EU rom, saying: "It's not allowed to upgrade to unofficial ROM package".
I successfully used this to install chinese developer to 7.1.20 at the official link: http://www.miui.com/download-323.html
For some reason TWRP (twrp-3.0.2-0-lithium.img) still doesn't work, I can't swipe right or anything at the boot screen.
Incredibly frustrated right now!
Only way for me to get EU ROM installed was to flash it while on Global Stable Chinese with TWRP.
I've done it twice and realize that it's the only way to get any unofficial ROM installed.
After flashing EU ROM TWRP (rc1 or rc2) had the unresponsive touch screen problem. I solved it by using another version from a Chinese guy. Different UI but same functionality. Always working.
Check this guide. Part 4 has the link and instructions for the recovery I'm talking about.

Got it going, followed instructions/roms as per:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-mix/how-to/guide-flash-global-china-rom-root-gapps-t3510592
That post contains a miflashable rom (7.1.12) and the matching TWRP.
The combination of those two worked great.

Since the version 7.1.19 there is trwp issue with global and some custom rom. I can explain why I did to install my custom rom (Im currently using epic rom) : so in order assume that your bootloader is unlocked, you download the fastboot rom for mi mix and unzip it, then you install it directly by using the fastboot script (you choose at your convenience) on the unzipped folder (it take about 5-10mn). After that you will be able to install the right trwp ( I tried global and eu both worked) and enjoy with a custom rom.
If you have any question don't hesitate.

Hello, I'm new to the Xiaomi world and I still have trouble understanding some terms ...
I am currently waiting for the necessary 168 hours before I can unlock my bootloader.
I would like to know what are the differences between orangefox and twrp, which one to choose?
What are the differences between global and eu?
I think I'm in global because I'm in 10.3.2.0
If I root my phone will I be able to update without removing everything?
Thank you in advance.

TWRP is very customisable and as such there are many different versions. Orange Fox is just a very heavily customised version of TWRP. It has a number of additional features over vanilla TWRP, some of which are specific to Xiaomi devices. However there are other versions of TWRP that also have been customised with additional features that are Xiaomi specific, it's just that these other versions are still very much recognisable as a version of TWRP as they keep the same UI design.
I don't think anyone is really sure what differences, if any, there are between the global and EU ROMs, at least from a functionality point of view. It might just be ad delivery and data collection differences, due to the EU having stricter laws around data protection and such things.
If you root you won't be able to use OTA. If you do you will lose root. You will need to manually update by installing the latest recovery ROM followed by Magisk again. (I assume that will be your root solution)
Just use either recovery for now. The only difference is the interface imo. F2fs support is still bad in recovery.
Use miui.eu, it's the same but stripped down and without ads.
Sure, as long as it's a compatible update.

I do recommend you backup your Android 9 partitions before flashing. I wiped and installed 10 and cannot go back.
Thank you guys for the infos, I think I'll go with classic TWRP and install the xiaomi.eu rom and then for the root I would reinstall it with each update this is not a problem
Orangefox has the ability to surviving OTA updates if prepared well.

If you go with the xiaomi.eu ROM then Magisk will automatically install itself when you update.
Cool Thanks.
And for the TWRP the best actually is the unofficial one from @mauronofrio or there is an official for android p ? Is the last on twrp.me will work ? Thanks

If Magisk is a rooting solution, and if Xiaomi.eu ROM installs Magisk automatically, does it mean If I install Xiaomi.eu ROM, I have no other choice but to root my phone, therefore I won't be able to use OTA updates and will have to update manually each time there is a new ROM ?

I tried to find infos on xiaomi.eu and I don't think magisk is automatically installed

No.
Magisk will automatically install itself if you have already installed it.
This is common behaviour for things like Magisk and GApps. If they've been installed on a custom ROM, they will automatically reinstall themselves when you update that ROM.
Xiaomi.eu does not come with Magisk pre-installed.
You are also confusing OTA updating a rooted phone with an official ROM and with a Xiaomi.eu ROM.
Xiaomi.eu is a custom ROM and so updating it is more like other typical custom ROMs.
Hello you all. I'm new to this phone. And I'm on Android 10 MIUI 12.0.4, but I need to go back to Android 9. Any stable custom ROM, with support for Nova launcher. Because the MIUI when I use it gets all bugy. I need all the files needed to do this. Because when I try to install an old custom ROM I get stuck in fastboot mode. Thanks for your patience. I'm using the global version.
I am on the china model M2102K1C with the global rom installed. I rooted using the following method https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...irmware-download-needed.4301241/post-85282829 which meant not overwriting the recovery and only booting thru the twrp file in my adb folder. This made it possible to get OTAs.
I just got the update available for download message and before I install it I would like to be sure I can re root using the same method and that the twrp version still works on miui 13.
the reason i want to check first is that i remember using other phones that sometimes a major update had necessitated an update for twrp to work with it.
you can root on miui 13 by patching the boot.img , like on all android 12 releases. Due to non working twrp on a12.
So if you want a working TWRP you cant update.. After update to miui 13 it will be a12.

thanks I have rooted several other phones on A12. I might wait until I research a bit more on this one as its my first Xiaomi phone. I was hoping the TWRP made for android 11 would still work on A12. ...or if i can hold off wait until there is a twrp for this phone compatible with A12.

idk, i know there are working a12 twrp for mi 10 and 10 pro, but i dont know when and if it will come for 11 ultra. and when it will come... there are no twrp files for yet... if it is only for root, just use pathed boot.img.... its really easy

thanks I know I am going to end up trying it. with the other phones I was more familiar with fixing a soft brick, so that's why I am nervous about it. I already started the upgrade haha.
its nearly impossible to brick this device( i am told, lol)
You can allways reflash using miflash to stock, just be aware off untick lock

uggh looks like I am going to need to learn how to use miflash. im not sure what i did. I didnt flash anything but rebooted to system from fastboot, and now the screen is blank. My laptop recognizes enough to beep when i plug and unplug the usb cord, but adb does not see it.

For some reason it is losing sanity when you have an open BL and twrp etc installed and trying to update to miui13. Just make sure you have a backup.
I have never used MiFlash before. I believe my computer does see the phone. I was on miui_STARGlobal_V13.0.2.0.SKAMIXM_eecc15ab63_12.0. I am not finding a global fastboot rom for A12 (only the full rom).
The previous versions 12.58 does have a fastboot rom available. Using other phones it was not always possible to downgrade. Would it be possible to flash 12.5.8 on this, or will I need to flash the china version of A12 that has a fastboot rom available?

Problem is you can use watever boot img or the one from the specific fastboot rom? because I updated to global 13.0.2 and there is no fastboot version available yet and so no boot img

There is, take a look at the "beta" thread, it has all you need for A13 rooting

thanks, but can you be a bit more specific, ive been rooting my every android but this is my first Xioami ever so i am new to this.... which beta thread - a beta firmware - higher version which i download and extract to get the boot.img?
thanks
Yes. Whatever version you have installed, you can find a suitable root image from the link:
xdroms
Download xdroms for free. None
sourceforge.net
Then, it's a matter of typing fastboot flash boot rooted_boot.img and fastboot boot rooted_boot.img (with rooted_boot being whatever image you're running).
I'm currently running the latest Global Stable version, so the root I flashed was [ROOT]miui_STARIDGlobal_V13.0.2.0.SKAIDXM_8e7ececfcf_12.0_by_XD

Which one is best for the latest Global stable 13.0.2.0? It also says [Root], what does it mean? It is already rooted? As far as I know with the fastboot method you need to patch the boot.img via magisk first and than flash it via adb
It's a pre-patched boot.img file
So we just need to flash it, but which one of the two?
