Updating firmware-less Pie 9.3.28 - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi
Question.
I made my own 9.3.28 rom using OSDN script. https://github.com/XiaomiFirmwareUpdater/xiaomi-flashable-firmware-creator.py/releases
My Whyred has ARB 3 (Fastboot getvar anti). Since the beginning, i only flashed 8.1 firmware-less roms using TWRP.
I saw Whyred has Pie update. Will it mess my Whyred if i directly flash Pie firmware less rom ?
I did it on my Platina (Mi 8 Lite), and i had bootloop during 1st boot (crashing processus).
Platina is not affected by ARB. Then i took Fastboot Pie rom and flashed it, reinstalled latest Pie TWRP, magisk root, and everything's ok.
If i crash my Whyred with firmware-less Pie zip, i also need to reflash fastboot Pie rom, and kill my virgin ARB ?
So, it's impossible to update to Pie without destroying ARB 3 ?
So, i'm stuck on 8.1 ?

Use non arb FW update
There's pie beta firmware (9.3.28)
https://osdn.net/projects/xiaomifirmwareupdater/storage/non-arb/Developer/9.3.28/whyred/

Does using non-arb FW really works for updating from oreo to pie to maintain ARB 3?
because it didn't works for me (miui pie global stable with fwless rom & non-arb made using https://github.com/XiaomiFirmwareUpdater/xiaomi-flashable-firmware-creator.py/releases )

I experimenting on this but got bricked because unproper recovery installed.
If you want to experiment, make sure to install proper recovery and disable OTA survival.

Can anyone provide a step-by-step how to install the MIUI 10 - PIE without losing the data?
Each one I ask passes me different information and I can not come up with a solution.
I am using MIUI 8.1 and I have installed Recovery Oragen Fox 9.0.1. What do I have to do to install MIUI-PIE now?
If I want to go back to MIUI-OREO, what do I have to do?
Thank you.
Download xiaomi.eu rom, delete everything besides internal storage, flash xiaomi.eu zip, and boom miui Android 9
Also, if you want to go back you will have to flash global 10.2.2 via xiaomi flash tool

use a previous version of orangefox one for oreo. i beleive 9.0.1 has pie support. if you use this youll end up in fastboot screen.
so use oreo twrp not new ones that support miui pie..
follow rom installation then flash with oreo support twrp. when it boots. then install now orangefox with miui pie support. follow instructions and flash.
to go back you need a fastboot rom and mi flash.. as long as you use same ARB use masik xiaomi.eu they are firmware less.

Pixel experience rom nt installing on Redmi note 5 pro which is running on beta pie

Currently my redmi note 5 pro is on miui beta pie build.... When im trying to install pixel experience rom with twrp it showing errors and the rom is not getting installed....
Previously when my phone is running on oreo based miui i didnt faced any problem while installing.
Please tell me how to install pixel experience in rom...
I also could not install the rom pixel by TWRP in miui 10 beta foot. Now I'm back to stable, can I?
I just installed PE(Pie FW) yesterday with orangefox from MIUI Pie Beta, CAF version. OfficialTwrp is not completely supporting Pie Roms so use orangefox or use modified TWRP which supports Pie.
I'm using OrangeFox-R9.0-2-whyred-MIUI-Pie which works perfectly fine Pie FW & don't use it on Oreo FW, there's a seperate one for Oreo.

get PIE TWRP recovery.
boot into Fastboot mode.
boot into PIE recovery using "fastboot boot TWRP-Name.img" in cmd.
Format data.
boot into Fastboot mode again.
again boot into PIE recovery using Fastboot Command "fastboot boot TWRP-Name.img".
If you want to install Latest PE then grab PIE FW.
OR
If you want to install Older version PE then grab Oreo FW.
Flash FW.
Flash Rom.
Wipe Cache/Dalvik.
Reboot.

Unable to flash roms which need pie firmware

Flashing latest builds of most ROMs (ones which need pie firmware) give error 7: with message 'you need to have firmware V10.3.1.PIEMIXM or above as prerequisite to flash this rom'
Since I am on anti-rollback-3, i downloaded and flashed the non-arb version of V10.3.1.PIEMIXM firmware from the stable firmware list, but flashing the rom still gives the same error.
I tried using TWRP 3.3.1 Official, i am using redmi note 5 pro (indian version). Can anyone tell me what am i doing wrong?

Is there no way to get pie firmware without getting to anti 4?
You need recovery compatible with Pie FW. Here is unofficial TWRP 3.3.1-1 working fine with Pie FW.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro MIUI 12.5 stable update based on Android 11 finally rolling out (Download link inside)

Update:
Stable update has been released.
Xiaomi announced they’ll upgrade the Redmi Note 8 Pro to Android 11 late last year. They have gone to update the global models, leaving the European variants waiting for some time now. Of course, the update was going to arrive, and perhaps, the company needed some time to address a few issues before the European release. Meanwhile, as expected, the Redmi Note 8 Pro Android 11-based MIUI 12.5 update in Europe is now available to select users.
The Redmi Note 8 Pro is receiving both Android 11 and MIUI 12.5 simultaneously, unlike the Redmi Note 8, that’s currently pushing Android 11 only. It is seeding with a version number – MIUI 12.5.2.0 RGGEUXM – and weighs in at 2.2GB. Coming along with the update are the features of the new MIUI OS to improve device performance and address some problems introduced by MIUI 12. Interestingly, the Android security patch level is pushed to July 2021 to increase system security and stability.
Of course, the update brings a stable MIUI based on Android 11, meaning that you get the features of the current Android OS as well. However, some known bugs are affecting all MIUI Android 11 builds. They include third-party launcher compatibility, ugly square chat bubbles, floating windows conflicting with keyboards, glitches, and lags. Luckily, you can improve the device’s performance by performing a factory reset after upgrading. However, that won’t fix the problems with the launcher as you need to revert to the MIUI system launcher.
Again, the Redmi Note 8 Pro Android 11-based MIUI 12.5 is a limited rollout. Those in Indonesia are also receiving the build with a version number – MIUI 12.5.2.0 RGGIDXM. It brings features of the new MIUI OS and a stable MIUI based on Android 11. Also, the Android security patch level has been pushed to July 2021 to increase system security and stability.

A11 will most likely be the last official update for this device, wouldn't be surprised if it will take till end of this year.
This works in global variant via TWRP, but I don't recommend it. I could not find a way to install Google Play, even though i tested a lot of tutorials, magisk, appstores.

not really since they re-release the RN8 variant....
might be A12 like the case with RN5
Global variant finally.... MIUI12.5 A11 Global sucks no fastboot so I guess you have to flash some MIUI version and then update, coming from POSP and not happy about it but oh well. Will post after I flash it and see how it is. Probably end up back on a custom ROM dislike MIUI bloated bs....

Stock MIUI is horrendous. Bloatware, permissions etc. I can't stand it.
I'm on PE+ 11 but would prefer an official LineageOS release (no such thing available for now). I would also consider a xiaomi.eu release but they dropped support for Begonia/Begoniain.
Compass.

seems it's for Mi Pilot only.... that's why it's bootloop
Actually, it's bootlooping due to custom recovery..
I just did it like this:
- Download MIUI 12.5 Global from xiaomifirmwareupdater
- Reboot to recovery
- Flash from recovery
- Reboot to bootloader (using adb reboot bootloader or just boot to fastboot mode by rebooting and holding down the VOL_DN)
- Flash stock recovery (get it from xiaomifirmwareupdater, download previous ROM and extract recovery.img)
And with above I'm currently running MIUI 12.5.1. It's basically updated, I've lost no data.
I'm gonna dig in tomorrow for flashing custom recovery if i can find some working with this..
EDIT:
It may be that in order for TWRP to work on this ROM, a full wipe will need to be performed.
It's bootlooping due to patched vbmeta (vbmeta flashed with --disable-verity --disable-verification). So I'm unable to get TWRP to work. We might need some developer assistance ?

I got it to install no issues I had to flash whatever the latest A10 MIUI ROM is from fastboot then it updated to 12.5 on its own. I am back on POSP I really just hate MIUI its bloated and slow, not worth the time or effort to be honest IMHO

Is Google Assistant and Android Auto working fine on that ROM? I've tried couple of A11 custom ROMs, they have issues with either GA or AA or both.

So my suspicion confirmed coz the old ROM zip got recovery image but the A11 ROM doesn't have so many files in it including recovery.img.
Thanks for confirmation & guide....
So, basically there's no way to root it for noW?

but without patching vbmeta, it'll just bootloop even with A11 ver TWRP, right?
one more question: can you activate Google Discovery feed on MIUI12.5 or it's stuck on App Vault?

Work perfect and yes I feel ya I HATE that Google assistant doesn't work on most custom roms. Let me say this POSP is updated weekly, stable, smooth and everything works. Everything. My phone will like die with this time installed. Hoping the maintainer does A12 soon.

Question Xiaomi EU to Official Miui

I am currently running Xiaomi Eu version 13.0.9 stable with twrp 3.6.2_12-pocof3_v6.3_a12.
I have issues with this build and I noticed lots of reports with latest Xiaomi EU updates having many bugs so don't really want to update.
Can I switch without data loss to official Miui? (my bank is annoying dont want to go through hassle of phoning them to re setup)
thanks in advance

Only if you flash the same version or higher.
I just ran the latest weekly and it works like a charm , your twrp should be 3.7 skkkk and you can install miui 14 recovery global through twrp but I would suggest a format and not a dirty flash since your going from a china rom to a global have funnnn!
There are 2 TWRP(SKK):
1/twrp-3.7.0_12-v7.2_A12-alioth
2/twrp-3.7.0_12-v7.2_A13-alioth
His system is currently in A12, he can continue with version 3.6.2 12 or update it to 3.7.A12 and flash an A13 recovery rom.
Or use Miflash *** and lock the bootloader, which will avoid rooting + magisk to have the playstore certified.
***Erases your data and only if not K40.

Xiaomi eu ROM does not have any deep problem. I'm on one of the latest DEV releases for sometime.

Like you want.
Won't re-lock and you will need to install TWRP A13 after flash.
I'd reckon you try a fresh install on Xiaomi.EU's latest rom first before flashing to the Global version.
Most bugs and glitches are fixed with a fresh install of Xiaomi.EU.
By fresh install I mean use XiaoMiFlash (Fastboot) to the latest official China stable rom (14.0.5.0), then wipe all via TWRP and then Fastboot flash the latest Xiaomi.EU rom (14.0.5.0).
For me; Global rom is too bloat, has too many features missing and less smooth versus Xiaomi.EU's rom.

Not much use since for a first installation you must format the data with the Twrp or use the first install.bat script included in the folder extracted from the zip.
Right, my bad. Clean install is the way to go though, Devs at Xiaomi.EU always recommended this to me versus dirty flash.
I clean flash with every major update, except from 12 to 12.5 (no Android change) with Xiaomi.EU's roms.

Yep, for the change of Miui or Android version, it is preferable to do a clean flash or mandatory in the event of a downgrade (weekly to stable).
