I know, its confusing to many. You can start by checking these threads:

I am on 9.5.19, unlocked, rooted, TWRP installed and have received update notice for 9.6.3.0, but do not want to update via OTA because will lose root, recovery (and maybe unlock?)
I believe after rooting, unlocking, and TWRP install, you need to download a version of the MIUI ROM you want without the included firmware. see here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro/how-to/index-redmi-note-5-pro-miui-roms-t3816343
They dont have 9.6.3 listed so need to ask about that. Also not sure which version of ARB your phone has so you need to ask in above threads or if you have ADB installed can enter fastboot command: fastboot getvar anti

I've updated to 9.6.3 and don't see any relevant change in daily use. The bootloader is still unlocked but I've lost the changes in build prop for gcam installation. I was unrooted with no twrp (or rwrp) recovery installed

Here is firmware-less 9.6.3 version download: https://mirror.akhilnarang.me/MIUI/Global/Stable/

My RN5 Pro is unlocked, with twrp, magisk (rooted), and running MIUI 9.5.19. Xiaomi gave me 9.6.3 last night, and although I wasn't able to install the delta update that they gave me (twrp didn't do anything with it), after the reboot, it downloaded the full 9.6.3 ROM. I then told it to do the update and twrp successfully installed it. At that point, I ONLY lost twrp and I assume magisk. The bootloader was unaffected by the MIUI upgrade.
Easy enough to fix - boot to fastboot, and used 'fastboot boot twrp.img' to get the phone started in twrp recovery mode. Then I was able to use twrp to install itself permanently/properly into the recovery partition, install lazyflasher, flash magisk, reboot normal. Phone's back to rooting state using magisk, but now with MIUI 9.6.3. 5 minutes and done.

Hi,
Problem starting oneplus 3, let me explain.
1) purchased oneplus3, 4 months ago.
2) Rooted,updated oxygen 3.2.8 with TWRP recovery3021 and super SU 2.74-2
3) updated oxygen4.00 with twrp32128 and super SU 2.79SR2 everything was fine.
4) Received OTA update through VPN for oxygen 4.0.1 (30mb), installed but unable start instead it was always going into twrp mode.
5) i changed twrp recovery back to 3021 and install stock oxygen 3.2.8,was working fine.
6) Now i wanted to UNROOT the device and back to stock so that i can get OTA Oxygen 4 and 4.0.1.
7) i followed steps below,
a) downloaded oxygen 3.2.1 and stock recovery.img
a) fastbootloader, and connect device.
b) fastboot devices
c) fastboot fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
d) fastboot oem lock - when i used this command and accept YES, screen got black and no further instruction for ADBsideload.
8) i used to restart the device in recovery but black screen, fastboot loader working.
FASTBOOT MODE
PRODUCT NAME - ....
VARIANT - MTP UFS
BOOTLOADER VERSION -
BASEBAND VERSION -
SERIAL NUMBER - .....
SECURE BOOT - enabled
DEVICE STATE - locked
9) and if i start the device in normal it asked for screen pattern lock but my existing unlock pattern doesnt work.
10) by using all the chance for screen pattern unlock it showed DECRYPTION UNSUCCESSFULL, clicked on RESET PHONE but again screen black in recovery mode.
11) NOW if i start my device it again shows DECRYPTION UNSUCCESSFULL and asking for RESET PHONE......
What to do now.....

Device is back to stock, this method is used by One plus asstance for unbrick hard bricked device by remote control your PC. Then device is back to completly stock. No root no custom recovery etc. You Can now use OTA for update or using adb sideload or manually flash the entire ROM from sdcard. Thank you for appreciate :good:

just wanted to highlight the things you did that caused the issue
1- flashing the stock rom through twrp, it's possible specially with the latest TWR0-11 but not advisable, you better always flash stock recovery and then sideload rom (full rom not update) and then fast boot TWRP back and reflash root... any other method always causes issues...
2- the 30mg updates do not work on a rooted device
3- unrooting without immediately sideloading rom will always cause the black screen and loop to recovery, it's not required to unroot unless you want to go back to full stock experience...
4- this the biggest problem you made, you relocked the devices bootloader, you also did it while the device has a lot of issues (some mentioned above) so the device bricked instantly, if you are planning on unlocking the device again ...NEVER NEVER relock the device again , there's no need to do that , all you need to do to go back to a full stock experience is to wipe everything in TWRP , flash stock recovery then wipe everything again from there, then sideload full rom (latest stable version) , then for good majors in the new rom recovery wipe everything agian and boot to system and from system do a factory reset. then recharge your device to 100% and re encrypt it if it's not...after that you're 100% on a full stock exerience and will receive ota and it'll work... and at that state only (without root or TWRP) you can relock the bootloader (which is gain not necessary at all, there's no benefit to it)

GUIDE to go from BUGGY VENDOR ROM with UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER to 8.8.9 XIAOMI.EU:
Download 8.8.9 xiaomi.eu from one of these 3 links: 1) https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=280379 2) https://sourceforge.net/projects/xi...s/files/xiaomi.eu/MIUI-WEEKLY-RELEASES/8.8.9/ 3) http://miui.dedyk.gq/8.8.9/xiaomi.eu_multi_MIMAX3_8.8.9_v10-8.1.zip
1) Flash China Beta 8.8.9 with Mi Flash Tool using the option "Clean All" (DO NOT choose 'Clean All and Lock'). Links and instructions below:
a) China Beta 8.8.9: bigota.d.miui.com/8.8.9/nitrogen_images_8.8.9_20180809.0000.00_8.1_cn_7bfe310762.tgz
b) Mi Flash Tool:
1b) download link: https://xiaomiflashtool.com/download/xiaomi-flash-tool-20180528
2b) instructions on how to use: https://xiaomiflashtool.com/tutorial/use-xiaomi-flash-tool
3) Let your China rom boot up, then login to your Mi Account (if you haven't made one yet, make it here: https://global.account.xiaomi.com/pass/register
4) Once logged in, go to Settings>Additional Settings>Developer Options>Turn ON USB Debugging, Install via USB, and USB Debugging (Security Settings).
5) Download Minimal ADB and Fastboot: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790. Extract it to your desktop so you can use it from there easily and rename the folder to ADB.
6) Download TWRP Recovery: https://eu.dl.twrp.me/nitrogen/twrp-3.2.3-0-nitrogen.img.html. Rename it to recovery.img and place it in your ADB folder.
7) Open cmd (Windows Command Processor/command prompt) within ADB folder or navigate there directly by opening cmd and enter the following steps: cd C:\Users\WhateverYourUsernameIs\Desktop\ADB (this puts you in the ADB folder).
8) Turn your phone off. Boot your phone back into FASTBOOT MODE (press and hold VOLUME DOWN and POWER for 6-8 seconds), then plug it into your computer. In cmd, enter the following:
fastboot format userdata, then flash TWRP using the following commands: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, then boot to recovery using the following commands: fastboot boot recovery.img
9) Changing file system from ext4 to f2fs is NOT NECESSARY, but I included it in case you run into errors, so skip to the WIPE portion of this section: In TWRP, change your file system from ext4 to f2fs: Wipe > Advanced Wipe > Data > Repair or Change File System > Change File System > F2FS. Then go back (back button at the bottom) and mount all your partitions: Mount>Check All Partions. Then go back, select WIPE>Advanced Wipe> select Data, Dalvik Cache and Internal Storage (System should NOT be wiped).
10): Transfer 8.8.9 xiaomi.eu rom from your pc to phone's internal storage and install in TWRP: INSTALL>Zip>Select 8.8.9 xiaomi.eu rom>Flash it.
11) REBOOT. The phone should boot without issue and your bootloader should stay unlocked.
12) Enable VoLTE: Once everything is set up, go to dialer and enter the following: *#*#86583#*#*
IF YOU WANT ROOT:
1) Download Magisk 17.1 Stable: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v17.1/Magisk-v17.1.zip
2) Reboot to Recovery : Turn off phone, press and hold VOLUME UP + POWER for 6-8 seconds until you see the phone boot into TWRP. Select INSTALL>Zip>Magisk-v17.1.zip>Flash it and reboot.

If you have any further questions, just ask.
Thanks, i will wait Phone have unlocked bootloader but probably unofficial.... What to do with it??? is there now any way to unlock it by official way ??? Is there any difference between official and unofficial unlocked bootloader ?

If you are planning to flash the official global stable, the bootloader can get automatically relocked on the future OTA updates and brick your phone.
There is no problem with unofficial unlocked bootloader if you are planning to flash the official chinese or custom roms like xiaomi.eu

To unlock it officially, you must flash the chinese rom with MiFlash and relock the bootloader, then apply for unlock (you must wait 1-2 months to get the unlock permission)

Edit: I added step 12 to enable VoLTE if you want it.
I have a question - I'm also about to receive my new 6gb/128gb MiMax 3.
It will probably arrive with 9.6.4 or 9.6.6 and I want to switch to .eu ROM so I will be using this guide.
But I have some questions:
1. Does .eu update the firmware in correlation with China Dev firmware updates since it is based on it?
2. If it does it there any chance of it becoming affected by the whole ARB situation?
3. I will want to root and use cam2api for better camera. Do the .eu OTA updates unroot the phone once installed requiring to re-root every time?
4. Is there anything else I should be aware of if using the .eu ROM?
Many thanks and sorry for being a noob - long time since I've last used non-vendor ROMs...
---------- Post added at 09:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 AM ----------
and another thing - the bootloader will be unlocked per the vendor on ebay - I assume using whatever method they use. Will there ever be need for me to unlock it again using the MI unlock lengthy procedure?

As Martin said, follow my thread.
1. Yes, EU changes are based on Chinese updates, then modified for global/eu community. Pretty consistent time frames for the updates.
2. Yes, everything after 8.8.9 EU is ARB affected. I suggest staying on 8.8.9 eu until custom roms come. If you want to try RevolutionOS rom which is free and based on Miui Pro mods, feel free as that is not ARB affected and gets OTA updates for their rom.
3. Every update unroots a phone because it's a new rom (stock vendor and system) - just simply flash magisk right after you update in twrp - very easy and straightforward. I'm using camera2api enabler downloaded through magisk download section (I downloaded the zip and flashed it in twrp), then downloaded the latest posted version of Google camera in Google Camera Mod thread here. It works without issues. If you get random hiccups mess around with Google camera settings until it resolves itself.
4. Nothing else needed to worry about. If you run into any error, just reply in my main thread, and we'll help you out, buddy. We all started as noobs :highfive:.

Thanks for the answers. They will be very helpful.
One more question - does staying on 8.8.9 eu means I can't have any OTAs from XIAOMI.eu?
Is there an option to have FW-less OTAs or is it impossible?
Thanks Again

You're very welcome, buddy. :victory:
Edit from nijel's correction below: You can OTA update. The way xiaomi eu ota works is you go to the Updater app in your app folder. Then check update and download. Then press the three dots in the right corner and select Reboot to Recovery MODE using TWRP. Or you can manually download it from here and install through TWRP: https://xiaomi.eu/community/forums/miui-rom-releases.103/.
Yes, there is an option for firmware-less updates. Download and flash them through TWRP. https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max-3/development/firmware-xiaomi-mi-max-3-t3832274
Unlocked bootloader should not be a problem for OTA updates. After all bootloader unlocking is official service provided by Xiaomi. System partition tampering is what prevents OTA...

If I update .eu using the updater app will I get into ARB territory? Meaning I will be updated from 8.8.9 to 8.920 or such with ARB?
It's pretty confusing - basically I want to get OTA updates and stay away as possible from ARB or as a lesser evil - have ARB and get OTA's from .eu.
What would you recommend as best?
There is MiuiPro providing OTA updates.
You have to make little "donation" though.

You will get ARB if you do it through the app or download it directly from xiaomi.eu. You need to flash firmware-less updates via twrp using the roms indicated in the firmware thread I linked above.
It's all explained above. If you want ota updates with the updater app, you will get ARB, but you can continue to get those updates directly from the app and reboot to recovery to flash them. It's really no different than manually downloading from the firmware thread, putting it on your internal storage, restarting your phone and booting into twrp with volume up and power as it restarts. Then simply flash. The choice is yours.

They're better off on revolution OS because it's free and similar. Miui Pro is not a "donation." It's a subscription service which is absolutely ridiculous as @SUPERUSER mentioned. Donating to devs for their hard work is 100% acceptable and encouraged; I do it all the time. Forcing users to pay for a constant fee for updates is ridiculous and goes against everything xda stands for. Many users have tried this in xda forums for self gain and got banned. Do you see a Miui Pro thread here? No, and there's a reason for it. If you like it, that's great, but tell people the whole truth because there are many newbies on here . :highfive:

How to install magisk in Oneplus 5T?

I have a OnePlus 5T locked and unrooted phone having OxygenOS 5.1.7 installed. I am new to rooting and related kinds of stuff. Can someone help me to give some instructions to install Magisk in my device? I know the below steps, but at the same time, I am having some questions in my mind.
1. Unlock bootloader - I saw some commands here to unlock bootloader - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74504347&postcount=4 - looks like these are outdated, last updated on Dec 2017. Are those work today also?
2. Install TWRP recovery - I heard that, OxygenOS 5.1.7 is having Project Treble supported. Can I use the same TWRP recovery mentioned in the above link?
3. Root using Magisk or SuperSU. What is the difference? What is systemless root? Anyway, I need to install Magisk Manager finally - Please suggest a way.
4. And the last one, How do I unroot my device if something goes wrong? Or is that possible?
5. I don't want to install any custom ROMs, I am fine with OOS.

1. Yes the unlock commands remain the same till date.
2. Use the latest bluspark twrp which has the treble support, link mentioned is fine and if you need the direct link, its here
3. Use the latest Magisk as SU is a dead project now.
4. Whenever you want to unroot just dirty remove/uninstall all the mods, dirty flash the latest stock rom > Factory reset in recovery and lock the bootloader. I did a post here for the 6T and it should work the same way on 5T.
5. You can stay rooted on OOS no need of custom roms any more :good:
Let me know if you want to know anything else, Thanks.

1. Yes, but your phone will download the whole firmware at each update instead of the ota.
2. Yes
3. Yep you can.
4. Yes of course, but some apps will detect root. So you will have to use Magisk Hide (inside the Magisk Manager) to hide root from these apps.
Note : I didn't use OOS anymore but it seems to me that OOS overwrites root everytime you update, so keep in mind that you will have to reflash it everytime

1- Yes, but you will recieve full sized zip (1.5+)GB automatically in rooted OOS. Incremental small sized ota won't work in case of root, and don't bother with it.
The downside of updating full whole zip is that you will loose root & twrp recovery after the update. So keep in mind, you will re-install both of them later.
2- I haven't tried beta, but i am sure yes
3- any switch between those requires clean flash in TWRP (wiping dalvik cache, cache, data, vendor and system). So, make sure to have backup in safe place.
4- yes, as long as you passed the safety net in Magisk. Magisk has a feature to hide root on certain apps of your choice, so you can use banking apps later
All my magisk installed whether in oos stable or custom roms, passed the safety net out of the box. So I haven't faced issues there.

Question Where to get Stock Firmware?

Got the Mi 11 5G NE recently and I'm wanting to install LineageOS on it as per the installation guide: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/lisa/install
However it says I must be on Android 12 and unfortunately I've already updated the phone to the latest Android 13 MIUI.
Just wondering if there's a reliable place to find the Android 12 stock firmware

MIUI Downloader will point you to the official ROMs
MIUI Downloader - Apps on Google Play
MIUI upgrade app for Mi users.
play.google.com
However, you would need to avoid downgrade protection (it can be done, you will have to download the Fastboot type ROM, unpack tgz, find a bat script inside that does not relock BL, edit the script to remove downgrade protection and use it then to flash manually via Fastboot - not by using MIFlash)
Btw, for any flashing you must first unlock the Bootloader (either for downgrading MIUI and/or for installing the custom ROM)

Okay awesome, thanks!

Ah nvm it went through.
Can/should I re-lock the bootloader after either rooting or installing LineageOS? might just stick with rooted stock, haven't decided yet

Question Updating to Android 13 while keeping bootloader unlock/TWRP/root

I have been digging through these forums, but can't find an straight step-by-step guide explaining how you go about manually updating the firmware on this device when you have the bootloader unlocked, TWRP installed, and rooted with Magisk.
I know that having the bootloader unlocked means that the device can no longer get updates automatically and that the updates have to be manually downloaded installed from the ASUS website. But what I don't understand is how to install the firmware from the ASUS website and still keep TWRP recovery and Magisk root.
This is my first time updating the device after I first set it up in January, so I would very much appreciate it if some one knowledgeable could explain this process to me
(In case you need to know, I'm currently on WW-32.2810.2212.241 firmware, with TWRP 3.70_12-0 and Magisk 25.2 installed.)

I think twrp will not work properly with android 13 because twrp is made for android 12
Dumper UL full upgrade and you will get Boot.img and recovery.img (keep both files at safe place).
Use magisk manager to patch the boot file.
Keep recovery.img (original A13) and TWRP.img safe in ADB root folder (dont mix them up).
1. Update FOTA to Android 13 by copy UL full upgrade into root folder of your phone. If copy from PC/laptop with cable then unplug the cable, your phone will recognize the package, (if you already change COUNTRY CODE and currently use WW 241 rom that will be success update). Otherwise, reboot your device and pop up will appear. Wait the phone is fully reboot and set up everything.
2. Reboot your phone into download mode/fastboot mode (it's better that you should enable USB debug/Developer mode before doing anything). Using CMD command to flash patched boot from Magisk Manager. And reboot, now your phone could gain back root.
3. Check again if the recovery is gone or not. If it's gone, then use termux or any terminal emulator for the "dd command".
You will gain back the TWRP, if any failed, flash back original recovery.img that you have lately in ADB folder on your PC.
PS: backup everything, since going back from Android 13 to Android 12 need to full factory reset.
Br,
