Hi guys this is my first thread
lets cut to the chase ,I flashed pixel experience gsi and it works flawless
How to install:
1.unlock your bootloader
2.if you have custom rom and twrp recovery go to stock rom with stock recovery!!!!
3.download the gsi https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-%28GSI%29-list
4.reboot to bootloader using the power button and volume down button , open command prompt and type this 2 code VERY IMPORTANT
fastboot -w
fastboot flash system system-arm64-aonly-gapps-su.img
5.after flashing reboot device ….device will get bootloop this is fine! after the 3rd boot device will boot to stock recovery and will say to reset the phone
so reset the phone
If the phone resets then that's it congratulations your phone now has pixel experience reboot device
If the phone does not reset then its ok! shutdown the device and go to fastboot and flash twrp and go to stock rom once again using Huru Updater and go to developer options and enable OEM Unlock then reboot and flash gsi
https://forum.xda-developers.com/9-lite/development/stock-rom-indian-firmware-c675-t3813875
After flashing stock rom again boot the device and after reaching the home screen shut down the device and again try Step 4 and Step 5
6.After flashing the gsi it is recommended to do factory reset to avoid settings stopped errors....
7.It is also possible to flash other andoid pie gsi I have not tried if you try let me know!
Since I was experimenting I couldn't record my progress if you can record it would be great!
Whats Working?
Except Hotspot Almost everything works
I have attached screenshots below
Is the hotspot, VOLTE and bluetooth working if I may use this as my daily driver.

Thanks for sharing. Should I switch from emui? I just flashed the B187 last week.
*Any fix for hotspot as of now and can we expect it in the near future?
*Does the camera work?
*How's the ram management?
*Battery life
*Does the phone lag, like, is there any lag in the UI?
*Have you tried gaming on this?
*Do you recommend this as a daily driver?
Know that's a lot of questions but would be grateful if you could help.?

Hospot does not work
Camera Quality is poor
Flash light does not work
Battery is not so great but mangeable
Phone runs buttery smooth... No lag whatsoever
Gaming experience is great but battery falls rapidly
Overall it can be used as DD but you have to sacrifice camera quality and battery life

Finally got it working. Well I flashed the 32 bit one before so that wouldn't boot. Yesterday I flashed the 64but one and it works. Thanks for sharing. The UI is a bit laggy but that's okay.
Well for the camera you can use gcam it's not perfect but does pretty good.
And I'm surprised that the hotspot works fine ?
Can you please tell the full steps for installation( from unlocking a boatloader).... I am using Honor 9 lite ...please tell me about room can I use as a daily driver everything works fine or not how we get updates after installing a rom
hi there,
i used crDroidAndroid-8.1-20180606-riva-v4.3 but there were color problems i didnt know 2 fix so i decided 2 flash a new rom resp. a newer version but no custom rom boots up.
when it tries 2 boot is freezes at the boot screen, then screen switches off and nothing happens. i can go 2 fastboot and recovery.
sometimes it boots up but after a few seconds it freezes 2.
i tried different roms and recoveries but nothing works.
i foolishly wiped internal storage once but then i flashed the stock rom again which boots up. then i unlocked the bootloader and flashed a custom recovery and a rom again but the same error is there (no booting up)
anyone got a solution for this problem? no unbricking suggestions plz
edit: im in the wrong thread i think. i wanted 2 post it in "Guides, News, & Discussion". cant delete it. sry for that
logs
so i managed 2 create logs while booting up.
1) https://pastebin.com/cgrX2DA1
2) https://pastebin.com/r7DmcN46
3) https://pastebin.com/0pwXyuys
4) https://pastebin.com/S41FG2SQ
1) is 1st part of the log while booting with no success to boot into the os.
2) is 2nd part of the log while booting with no success to boot into the os.
3) is 1st part of the log while booting with successful boot into the os.
4) is 2nd part of the log while booting with successful boot into the os.
i also tried 2 log "cat /proc/last_kmsg > /sdcard/last_kernel_message_log.txt"
and "dmesg > /sdcard/kernel_boot_log.txt" via terminal in linux but it only sais file or directory not found.
i hope sum1 can give me sum help now.
so i did this https://en.miui.com/thread-3921604-1-1.html but it doesnt help. as i expected.
any1? i can post more information if necessary. just say which and perhaps how ;D
cmon guys. i can impossibly b the only 1 who faces this problem.
i dont think its a hardware thing cause stock rom and android 7.1.2 (viper os) work. maybe a vendor problem? could flash another vendor img solve this problem? can sum1 send me his?
i got sum more logs after flashing rr 7.0:
logcat 1st part: https://pastebin.com/EBZAgbhF
logcat 2nd part: https://pastebin.com/qaMFrvxi
dmesg: https://pastebin.com/Gg8bYkJy

Fastboot flash latest miui 10 stable using mi flash tool and use the rom after setting up. Then flash custom recovery and do a full wipe.
This works for most cases.

Well it worked for me.
Which custom rom you want to use?
well, it doesnt matter 2 me. the main thing is that it works =D rr, aex, crdroid..

Crdroid is my choice because aex and rr are very early builds. I like pixel experience but the devs not updating it so crdroid or havoc os.
Like i said use Xiaomi flash tool and flash miui 10 stable via fastboot method(there are 3 options in the bottom select flash all instead of flash and lock to avoid unlocking the bootloader again), don't flash anything else, setup and use the phone, flash recovery wipe all and format, install rom, don't flash gapps yet, boot into rom and see if its fixed.
Use vendor based recovery, if using batik recovery you have to flash batik recovery again after format.
This is my solution.

i did it several times before but 2 b safe i did it again like that:
i flashed riva_global_images_V10.1.1.0.NCKMIFI_20181029.0000.00_7.1_global_f444c158ed.tgz using XIAOMI-TOOL-MiFlash-for-Linux-by-IceMan-master. im on linux mint 18.3. i have 4 options:
flash_all_lock.sh
flash_all_lock_crc.sh
flash_all_except_data_storage.sh
flash_all.sh
i chose flash_all.sh
i booted into the stock rom and set it up, enabled dev options and adb.
then i switched it off, went into bootloader, flashed twrp-3.2.3-0-riva.img via fastboot.
after that i entered twrp, flashed OrangeFox-R8.3-riva.zip and rebooted into recovery
i wiped everything except external sd and usb otg (i dont have these)
after a reboot intorecovery i formatted data then rebooted in recovery
i flahed crDroidAndroid-9.0-20181002-riva-v5.0.zip
then reboot into system
no success as i expected! wtf is wrong wtf. this cant b true!
but thank u very much for ur efforts! perhaps i would try 2 restore a vendor img from sum1 which rom does work. i know its a great demand but could u send me urs? ;D i dont know if there r sum personal info..
best regards
Don't give up there might be a solution.
Pray to God for some help.

Currently I am using Xiaomi.eu beta rom. You can check their website for all the features. Its smooth, stable and can update without needing to got the recovery:victory:
This should work for you because unlike other roms this is based on miui for riva. That means you will get updates till Xiaomi ditches support for riva.
I recommend you use this rom over the global rom until you fix the problem with your phone.
Some things missing:
Choice of region is limited( India is not available)
There is no custom kernel available for miui oreo as of now.
Magisk safetynet not passed
If you're going flash this rom you need to be on latest global beta fastboot rom and need a recovery that supports oreo base.
I use batik recovery base oreo.

dont u have 2 wait 2 weeks or so till bootloader is unlocked?
what exactly do u mean with won't boot up? bootloop? or stuck at boot logo?
after flashing a custom recovery, did u boot directly into the system or did u try 2 boot into recovery? sometimes the stock recovery overwrites the custom 1 when stock rom boots up
my problem is solved. i remembered that i made a full nandroid backup with twrp before i flashed a new rom and the problem appeared. so i restored everything i backed up with twrp (incl cust) and voila, rom booted up. and i can wipe system and data and flash every rom i wanna and it still boots up \o/
i really could have tried it earlier but i didnt think of this untill yesterday ;D
well, thx for ur efforts anyway buddy @NaAnBcEhEuL9A8K7

Hi guys, I rooted my redmi note 8 yesterday. Everything went well except two things: on boot the error message said that "there is an internal problem" and the phone reboots/shuts down itself.
Any thoughts?

You should explain the problem obviously if you want a help, if your phone still working you should flash twerp.img to be able to root it and solve any existing problem by flashing new rom

If you still want to root it again,after flasing new rom go to twero and then go to wipe then format,you should format your phone after rom flashing,try this and inform me
Yes yes! I want to root phone once again. So the steps are these:
1) booting into twrp with adb from pc.
2) from the twrp menu wiping and formating the data
3) instaling new rom
Is this true?
Thanks!
If you want to root you don't have to install another custom rom unless you don't like the stock rom. If you like your current stock rom, then flash twrp in fastboot and download the latest magisk stable zip and also diasble dm-verity zip. Using twrp first flash disable dm-verity zip and then magisk zip, wipe dalvik cache and reboot to system, hopefully you would have root permission.

From your stock rom extract the boot.img and place it on your SD card. Flash the boot image using twrp or you can also flash in fastboot, then reboot. Now boot to twrp recovery and flash dm-verity first and then magisk zip. Worked for me I'm having root permission with stock rom.

i could grant the root permission on stock rom before you wrote this. thank you very much! but i still have a problem with a custom rom as it randomly turns off or reboots the device. strange

Is your bootloader unlocked right now or did you lock it while flashing using miflash tool.

the bootloader was unlocked. everything went kinda fine, until i flashed youtube vanced from magisk: when i did that, the system was unable to boot. i don't know what's happening. is there anything to do with kernel or something? really interesting what i am doing wrong.

I think it may be because of YouTube vanced module. If you remove the module you might be able to boot. In twrp in the advanced option select file manager and then select data/adb/magisk/ in that you will find the list of installed modules, select the one which is causing the problem and delete that folder and try to reboot.

I've already flashed the stock rom but this will help me next time! Thanks!
I'll stop trying for some days cause I'm really tired with tweaking so thanks and will get back!

i could grant the root permission on stock rom before you wrote this. thank you very much! but i still have a problem with a custom rom as it randomly turns off or reboots the device. strange

Your device reboots randomly on custom rom because probably it was made for tianma display and you have hauxing display

Hey, thanks for the answer. i've just googled about it and you are right. checked the TP version and it says that i have huaxing display. in the Lineage OS thread the moderator wrote that the next update will fix that bug. hopefully ill be able to install custom rom. also if you know, are there any custom roms for huaxing display? thank you man!

i've tried Lineage OS too and it also has reboot issue. i've checked a thread here https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro/development/derp-kernel-clang-4-4-138-t3804996 that flashing a different kernel when you have flashed a custom rom can fix the problem. idk if its safe to do

that thread is for redmi note 5 pro..and flashing different kernel probably won't solve it because I know few guys flashed genom kernel but still ended up with reboot in huaxing display. Maybe waiting for fix is better.
Hi everyone (pardon my English)
I have a Redmi Note 8 Global, and I am willing to install Custom ROM's on it.
I have read and watched several info about this subject, but there are some aspects I am not so clear about it.
I've never done it before, so first I need to dissipate some doubts. I'll appreciate your guidance.
My phone has the bootloader unlocked, and I have successful flashed it with MIUI Official fastboot ROMs three times with Mi Flash. First time with 12.0.6.0, months later with 12.5.1.0 and last time with 11.0.12.0 (and at present I'am still on 11.0.12.0).
Here there are my concerns and doubts:
- Decryption: Is it beneficial ? Mandatory ? Reversible ? What do you recommends ?
- Rooting: Is it beneficial ? Mandatory ? Reversible ? What do you recommends ?
- Is difficult to me to determine which Recovery to choose: TWRP, or Orange Fox ?
- Which Custom ROM for starting, based on Smoothness, Battery life, and Full functionalities: Pixel Experience 12, or Arrow OS 12 ?
- Can I install any Custom ROM no matter which one I have installed at the time ? For example: Going from Official MIUI 11.0.12.0 to Custom Pixel Experinece 12 ?
- Which are the real probabilities of soft or hard brick to happen during the process, and how to avoid it ?
- Is case of the worst scenario of soft or hard brick, can that be fixable ?
- Any direction to a concise detailed guide starting from the installation of the Custom Recovery to the Custom ROM flashing ?
- Is this hole Custom ROM flashing process completely reversible to the original factory state of the phone, if I want it someday ?
Thank you a lot in advanced, and pardon these so many questions. I really want it but don't want to messing up.
1. It is not beneficial, not mandatory, reversible, don't recommend
2. It's completely upto you
3. Go for OrangeFox
4. Pixel Experience 12. Using this rom as my daily driver. Super smooth
5. Yes you can do it anytime you wish.
6. Soft brick : It's like the phone is trying to boot but failing (somewhat like bootloop. Or sometimes if you shutdown your phone while it is flashing a rom then the software will be corrupted and you will see a message "Your system has been destroyed" this means the phone has been soft bricked and you can fix it just by flashing the MIUI rom using the MiFlash tool.
Hard brick: Your are fu***d up man. Your phone is now a piece of brick. To avoid this please make sure to check whether you are flashing the rom which is built for your phone. Like you have a ginkgo device (Codename for Redmi Note 8) but you flashed the rom built for curtana (Code name for Redmi Note 9) then your phone will be hardbricked and you can never ever use that motherboard
7. Like I said you can always fix a soft bricked phone but never a hard bricked one
8. You can always search youtube. As you have seen the Pixel experience just go to site https://wiki.pixelexperience.org/devices/ginkgo/install/
This guide is only for flashing pixel experience in ginkgo device
9. You can go back to MIUI anytime and again comeback to custom rom anytime you want

Well, I don't know how to thank you enough. So, simply: THANKS VERY MUCH. That was a perfect and detailed answer. Thanks for your time and effort.
Just to be more precise about Questions 1 and 2: Do custom ROMs will work just fine on encrypted and non rooted phones?, I'm asking because i've seen some tutorials with decryption as a part of the process. I am intrigue and I wonder what are the Pros and Cons of decryption?
And with Question 6: So it is a fact that Soft brick is 100% fixable; and Hard brick only happens if I flash a Custom ROM of another phone model. So Hard brick will never happen as long as I always use the appropriate Custom ROM, right? Or there is more there?
Thanks a lot again.

1. Yes, it's beneficial in case your phone got stolen at least your data is secured, add more with pattern and fingerprints. Always go for enforcing rom and kernel for even more secure.
2. Depends: if you mostly work with secure apps such banking, no it's not. However some custom roms don't pass CTS, you'll have to root to gain it (it's needed for most banking apps)
3. Orange fox is preferable, though others like PBR, or official twrp is also good. It's just matter of preferences. Always get the clean one with source .
4. Official Lineageos is always the best path to taste open source android, since it's totally backed by open source community: no ads ridden links, clean source, guaranteed weekly build, etc.
5. Yes you can. Clean data is must (and format if you're encrypted) every time you switch between roms and between version (11 to 12, vice versa) or the rom's maintainer told you to do so.
6. Minimal. Just make backup your persist and efs partition using your recovery and you're good to go, but it very rarely happens.
7. Soft brick: forget to wipe/format data when flashing other roms, flashed bad kernel, etc. Hard brick mostly because doing some stupid stuff (flash wrong rom device with their firmware) or bad things happen unexpected (battery off during flash, etc)
8. Many from wiki pages on lineageos to youtube videos. In short: unlocked bootloader, flash recovery, backup, backup, backup, flash roms, format data
9. Yes, unless you did stupid stuff and made a hard brick, then it's EDL only
Well, thank you very much again to everyone. I really appreciate it, cause I'm really new to this, and I want to be the best prepared I can before doing this.
At the end, I know the path to take is custom ROM if I want to keep my RN8 the most updated possible.
I really didn't like the Officials MIUI 12 and MIUI 12.5 ROMs (even after fastboot them). Not for having a bad interface but for bad optimization in general. That's my humble opinion and experience with them. I ended up with MIUI 11 / Android 9... XD
(again, please pardon my English)
Doing some research I've found different guides that leads me to more questions:
- Catches my attention that in this guide: OFFICIAL Arrow OS Android 12 STABLE Redmi Note 8/8T (
),
the person flashed the original MIUI Firmware first. Why he did that? What are the differences between ROM and Firmware? Is it always necessary?
- Regarding the flashing of Orange Fox Recovery. In some videos I saw that the person doing the guide flashed the recovery in Windows with ADB commands and that's it. But in others guides I see the person flashing the recovery in Windows with ADB commands, then restart the phone and enter orange fox and flashed orange fox again within the proper Orange Fox. Which is the right way to do it?
- Regarding flashing ROMs: In other guides the person says that you have to Wipe/Clear Data before and after the ROM flashing. Others says is only before, and other says is only after. Which is the right way?
- Last but not least: I saw two Pixels Customs ROM: "PixelExperience", and "PixelOS". Which one is the most convenience?
Sorry again for so many question but as you can see it is confusing.
THANKS A LOT ...AGAIN !!!

1. You have to flash firmware because the firmware contains the files of your wireless network. If you don't flash this your wireless network will not work
2. Let me make this clear. Many custom roms have a tendency to replace the custom recovery you flashed with the custom roms own recovery. If you just flash the custom recovery using ADB then the custom rom will replace the custom recovery with its own one. Like if you flash the orange fox and then flash pixel experience without flashing the orange fox again then pixel experience will wipe orange fox and then flash the PE recovery.
But if you install orange fox recovery through ADB and then enter orange fox and flash orangefox again you are just permanently turning off the option that the custom rom will change your custom recovery and put there custom recovery
3. As you are using a Xiaomi phone you have to wipe Dalvik, System, Vendor, Cache, Data before flashing the rom. Then after flashing the rom you have to format data / clear the data partition otherwise the phone will stuck in bootloop
4. Pixel OS and Pixel Experience are both somewhat alike. They try to bring the fluid performance and look of Pixel phones in a non pixel device. But many people prefer the Pixel Expereince rom. But trust me. Pixel OS is also good

Thanks again for such a good explanation. I appreciated.
Pardon me, but about the Firmware flashing is still kind of unclear for me, cause I didn't see this mentioned on many guides I've seen, only in that one I posted, and triggers my doubt.
About this:
- Do I always have to flash the firmware before the custom or original ROM?
- In which scenario is this necessary?
- If it is. Which version of firmware I need for every custom ROM I'll try? I mean, for example, LineageOS is Andorid 10, so do Firmware of MIUI 12 is needed?, Or if ArrowOS so do Firmware of MIUi 12.5 is needed? Etc etc.
Hope I could explain myself cause of my bad English.
Thanks a lot again and again.

There is no such thing with custom roms
Only Official miui roms (and some few that come with "Recovery" file inside the zip) does that
so check the zip first ...
1st time you want to flash the recovery = flash "vbmeta" then Ofox and select :
"aggresive stock recovery deactivation" in Ofox settings

A11 is resource hungry
i suggest using A10 (RRos or MSM Ext or Superior) (i use RRos)

And LineageOS? Is it worth it?
So for example, if I want LineageOS 17.1 (that is A10), I have to flash first MIUI latest FW based on A10? And which version of MIUI FW do I need, the last one? For that example would be 12.0.6.0. isn't it? ...and so on with other Custom ROMs?

Hi, I reiterate my thanks to everyone for the help.
It is evident you prefer RRos. I'll take it into account.
Now it is clear that the FW has to be the same Android version as the ROM:
1- But the latest MIUI for the RN8 is based on A11, so what FW do you use for the A12 ROMs? The FW of MIUI 12.5.1.0?
2- Do you have to flash the FW every time you install a new ROM, or only if you change the version of Android?
3- This matter of flashing the FW do I have to do it in a specific way, or is it handled by Orange Fox as the ROM?
4- I am currently using MIUI 11.0.12.0 Android 9. If I want to install RRos which is based on A10, do I have to flash MIUI 12.0.6.0 FW first?
I'm planing on using OrangeFox... Starting from the fact that I only have the Bootloader unlocked, is it too much to ask if you would write me a concise and simple guide on how to achieve this? Or point me to one as alike as possible to my case?
I know that time is gold, and I do not want to abuse your time, so I will appreciate any help you can provide. I am grateful already for all the help shown so far.

Yes. I have to say I'm taking really serious regarding all about this process. Believe me, I have to minimized as much that is possible the risks on breaking my phone. It is REALLY expensive buying or fixing it where I life. I need to double check every important aspect, and try to understand the more I can about this. I don't like too much learning things mechanically, if I can learn the logic behind.
Pardon me all If I bothered you any how. Wasn't my intention.

Well, yes, you are right. I asked about the FW flashing process various times.
But, see, I've been investigating to changing the ROM of my phone for various days, and for that I watched some videos tutorials and guides in sites.
When I thought I was almost ready to start, I found a video where a person was flashing a Custom ROM and first flashed a Firmware and then the ROM (I mentioned this before). And in my case that video was the 1st time where I was hearding the term "firmware" in a Custom ROM flashing guide. Sawing that, I was like: Whaaaat? Then because of it I had to postergate the flashing of my phone and keep digging, cause I knew that the "firmware" is really important in every electronic equipment. Messing with it is dangerous.
I admit again the constants askings about FW, ...sorry about that. What I have just explained here were the true cause. I just needed to be more sure.
So I ended up here at XDA searching for learning and to clear doubts.
Thx u and everyone for your patient. I'll try not to bother too often.
@lhn53 : if you're that unsure, my advice would be to proceed cautiously and step-by-step, ensuring you can back out any major ****-up.
- Get MiFlash and the appropriate recovery stock ROM (in the worst case scenario, it will allow you to revert back to stock);
- Set up a custom recovery, ensure that it sticks, then familiarize yourself with it (you have multiple choices: TWRP, OrangeFox and PBRP);
- Choose the custom ROM you want to flash and read all related resources at least twice; then,
- Try to follow the procedure explained by the developer to the point, so if anything goes awry you can point to where it diverged;
- That applies to changing or updating firmware, just go with what the dev says on first instance;

Hi, thanks for replaying pnin and of course loopypalm, and everybody helping here.
It's just that when you see searching the WEB so many criteria and some differ from each other, doubts grow in a newbie like me. As I mentioned before there are many tutorials in the web where they do not mention the firmware as part of the steps and less about vbmeta.
For me It seemed quite simple at first but now I see it has more important steps to take into account.

- Get MiFlash and the appropriate recovery stock ROM (in the worst case scenario, it will allow you to revert back to stock);

...yes, I have MiFlash and various fastboot versions of the stock ROM storaged here.

- Choose the custom ROM you want to flash and read all related resources at least twice; then,

Yes, I guess I'll use first the ones with A10 (as advised here).

Agreed, thx.

- Set up a custom recovery, ensure that it sticks, then familiarize yourself with it (you have multiple choices: TWRP, OrangeFox and PBRP);

...with "sticks" I guess you are meaning what loopypalm said before: (...
1st time you want to flash the recovery = flash "vbmeta" then Ofox and select :
"aggresive stock recovery deactivation" in Ofox settings...)
Regarding vbmeta I have some questions (please be patient):
I've search about it, and I see It's like the Secure Boot of Windows.
I have seen various criteria: I saw people saying it is not needed in all RN8, and some says it does, for avoiding bootloop, etc. IMHO I guess that it is better to do it. Right? (...my intention is only of clarifying).
- The vbmeta.img file that is needed is the one inside Xiaomi's fastboot stock ROM compressed file. Is it?
- Is it necessary to flash vbmeta on every installation of a new ROM, or only when it is based on a different Android version?
- In case I want to return to Stock MIUI, this vbmeta step will not be necessary. Ins't? As I have understood, this is done simply with MiFlash..., Or first is it convenient to wipe some data or partitions with Custom Recovery? How would be exactly?
Please remember, I am trying to understand as much as I can about the whole process. In cases like these I like to learn by logic whenever is possible. Thanks a LOT once again.

Please I only need to know this about vbmeta.
That plus everything that you have described me before, I think would be already all the basis that is needed to start.
Thanks you in advance.

I noticed that there's no boot file and just vendor boot
So can I install this rom with Lineage recovery after flashing vendor boot ?
Or is boot file not necessary
open the zip and look
EDIT:
Ok not so simple, the payload.bin rom include firmware i upload the boot.img vendor_boot.img and dtbo.img
yes lineage recovery work.
google for extract payload.bin if you want it do by yourself.

I have lineage os installed rn
So can I go into recovery and just sideload the rom then format and reboot (to replace my current rom)
instead of flashing the 3 files?
Or should I flash the 3 files in adb then sideload rom in recovery
Yes If the recovery is not newer than Droid recovery.
If you get problems flash with fastboot the 3 files and reboot recovery
I used AOSPA boot.img, it worked correctly, but I already say that Rice 10.2 has a crash problem in SystemUI, it happens every half hour on average, it's not just in 11 NE, in my F3 it's happening the same.

This is unrelated to the title
but does the adb cmd method to flash fastboot stock miui rom work on this phone without errors?
I already use they Xiaomi adb and fastboot tools to flash original miui stock roms, You can try it with that, If it doesn't work for you that way, you can do it using fastboot (press the power button and volume down).If you want to install "Ricedroid, you already have the process: use a custom recovery, it can be PixelOs Recovery or Pixel Experience recovery, both are very complete.

Personally, I do not recommend version 10.2 of RICEDROID, since I found several errors in the launcher, as my colleague said, as well as errors in the display in the case of video games, since it only detects a finger.

I ended up leaving Rice 10 on my two devices, performance was very bad, heating up, high consumption, and an annoying bug of crashing QS making the screen turn off, I ended up going back to MIUI since I didn't find any stable custom rom without high consumption
From my point of view it seems great that you return to miui, although you may also want to try PixelOs, LineageOs or CherishOs, which in my opinion are custom roms that are not so well known, but they have an amazing quality in all aspects, now I am using PixelOs on my Mi 11 Lite 5g NE (Lisa)
