for this you need to wipe everything on your phone except for external storage because it's optional,
to do that you need custom recovery or you can directly dirty flash stock ROM from MI RECOVERY
to dirty flash:
if you can copy files between pc to your phone then
download MIUI ROM for Redmi 1s, copy ROM to your phone
reboot to MI Recovery and then find the package
http://en.miui.com/download-226.html
if you clean flash:
then you might need twrp or cwm recovery (I prefer twrp)
if you can copy files between pc to your phone then
download recovery for Redmi 1s, copy recovery to your phone
reboot to MI Recovery and then find the package
https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/0B6_hhjS3nx4IdzFHXzdfNXVCYm8
if you can't flash the zip file/s then try renaming it to "update.zip" without " "
then sign the zip using Zip Signer (u can get it by searching it on google)

Want to shift from CN to Global rom

hi i am using note 5 ai 6/64 gb with stable chinese rom miui 10.2.1..now i want to shift to global rom..after unlocking bootloader what are the steps i should follow?

download the global rom version of 10.2.1 from
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro/how-to/received-9-5-17-ota-update-t3813192
if you boot is unlocked (finally) (after many days of waiting period)
put the 1.6gb rom in sdcard or otg
then using any good recovery ( i am using orange fox 8.3-2) https://sourceforge.net/projects/orangefox/files/whyred/
extract it and there will be recovery.img file
connact Rn5p in fastboot mode and boot recovery from minimal adb and fastboot window
fasboot boot (& drag drop recovery.img in the terminal window from extracted folder) and press enter ,
device will show MI logo, if your 1.6gb rom is in OTG drive then NOW is the time to connect you OTG before ORANGEFOX logo appear, otherwise it won't read properly.
for clean flash wipe /data /system /cache /internalstorage /delvik etc
then come back to install and from sdcard' or OTG flash the 1.6gb globalrom of 10.2.x once done
reboot atleast till MIUI setup screen
if you wana ROOT
boot back into recovery ( same steps) and
1. take BACKUP OF YOUR BOOT SECTOR, it may backup in your sdcard or OTG drive
and now flash the following
1. lazyflasher.zip (search for Redmi5 / note5A / Note5Pro on XDA) (its a small zip file)
2. flash magisk 17.1 (i dont recomend 18.0 since they have changed the script, and later no rcovery can extract RAMDISK folder from boot sector unless you RE-FLASH the whole rom.
first couple of boots may goto reboot but it should come to miui setup again.
if anything goes wrong,
reboot in to recovery again! and restore the BOOT sector, it will UNDO the lazyflash and Magisk
now, magisk 17x does say that it tries to disable DMvarity so try flashing ONLY MAGISK. for root.

TWRP does work above 12.0.5, I have tested.
New build: https://tdrive.elytra8.workers.dev/image-new.img
Flash like you flash any other custom recovery.
For ADS in MIUI, using debloat tool and removing MSA does the job.

Uhm... hello, newbie here and hopefully in the right thread.
I have a Redmi Note 9 and wanted to install LineageOS. What I have done so far:
Jumped through all the hoops to unlock the bootloader.
Since that erases all user data, I did not bother setting a password in the setup. Just went through it as quickly as possible.
Installed TWRP 12.0.6
Used that to install lineage-17.1-20210209-UNOFFICIAL-merlin.zip from here.
Result: The new system does not boot. I always end up in TWRP again. Even if I specifically go to Reboot -> System, it'll boot into recovery. I think the first boot fails and then it goes into recovery (if I power the device off and on again, it vibrates, the logo comes on, the screen goes black, it vibrates again, the logo shows again, and then I'm in TWRP).
What I have tried unsuccessfully:
Flashing the vbmeta from here.
Erasing the misc partition.
Flashing the old lk from here.
Closing the AVB2.0 after flash (with and without closing DM verity).
Wiping cache, dalvik, data, internal storage, and cache before reinstalling LOS.
Replacing TWRP with PBRP and trying again.
Probably some other things I don't remember. I've been chasing red herrings through this rabbit hole all day.
I also tried to install the ArrowOS build (from here), just to have one more datapoint. After that, the device boot-loops into the bootloader, and I have to manually go into recovery via VolUp+Power. This leads me to believe that it's not the LOS build at fault. It seems more likely that I am a moron and am doing something wrong. I just can't figure out what it is.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hey, Custom roms for Redmi Note 9 need MIUI 12.0.1 Indonesia, or MIUI 12.0.3 global vendor.
Downgrade your phone to the specific MIUI vendor, and then try flashing custom rom.
Here's the link for global 12.0.3
Xiaomi Firmware Updater
The ultimate script that provides firmware packages for Xiaomi devices.
xiaomifirmwareupdater.com
And before you downgrade your miui version, please erase system and vendor to bypass anti roll back.
Use these commands after connecting device in fastboot mode:
fastboot reboot fastboot
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase vendor
fastboot reboot bootloader
Then flash the 12.0.3 global/12.0.1 Indonesia miui version through MiFlash.
Or
You could give flashing 12.0.1 Indonesia vendor in TWRP, and then flashing rom.
If after fastboot reboot fastboot it shows waiting for device, install this driver. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JFYCZ3mu_Y_xpnS7QrmtwqOeFnWg6DO2/view?usp=sharing
Please note that you need to be on stock recovery for fastboot reboot fastboot to work.
Happy flashing

Thank you very much! With that info, I think I finally have it working!
I case it's helpful for future users, here are some issues I encountered along the way:

Is that normal? I do have a partition named 'super' that I can see in the TWRP backup module. Judging from its size, that could be the system partition. I think there's also a vbmeta_system and vbmeta_vendor, did you mean those?

Ok, so I downloaded the full ROM for 12.0.3 global. I'm using Linux, so MiFlash won't work. But the ROM archive I downloaded contained a bunch of partition images and a shell script that would flash them using the fastboot command. I just ran that script. Windows users probably could have run the .bat file that was also included. There were no errors. And after a reboot, MIUI started to boot and presented me with the setup procedure.
I did not complete the setup (I suspect it would have just auto-updated MIUI to something that would have caused problems again) and used the power button to go into the bootloader.
From there, I flashed TWRP again (since it got overwritten by the script mentioned above), went into recovery mode, and tried to install LOS again. First, flashing seemed to hang. The last messages in the log were:
Code:
Installing file '/external_sd/Download/lineage-17.1-20210209-UNOFFICIAL-merlin.zip'
Checking for Digest file...
Target: Redmi/merlin_eea/merlin:10/QP1A.190711.020/V11.0.2.0.QJOEUXM:user/release-leys
And that was it. The border around the progress bar was doing it's busy animation thing and after waiting for 10 minutes, I used the power button to reset the device.
The second attempt went through fine, and now I have LineageOS running on the device. I still need to play around with it some more to see if there are any issues, but the flashing itself seems to have worked.
Again, thank you for your help!

Oh you're using Linux, for Linux the commands is
/.fastboot reboot fastboot
Great to know you were able to flash successfuly. Note that first boot in all roms is a bootloop, you just have to force reboot after a minute of bootlogo showing up or so.

hi i flashed a wrong twrp and now the phone keeps bootlooping, cannot enter recovery or fastboot by power + vol (+ or -)
adb from computer doesn't detect
sp flash tool doesn't move when i hit "download" button
bootloader unlocked, root yes
pc notificates a device connection by sound

Apparentely, you need to flash in EDL mode.
So, you need to bypass the authentication in EDL mode first.
Read this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...d-flash-in-edl-with-no-auth-for-free.4229683/

Newbie Android user here, hopefully i’m on the correct thread...i have a Redmi Note 9 with MIUI Global version 11.0.5 and Magisk version 20.4.
I tried updating Magisk to the latest version using the direct install option but I keep getting an error. I was told I need manually patch the boot.img and flash it but I need to create a magisk_patch.img first from the boot.img.
I read some of the guides on this thread but I’m not sure which one to follow. Also the steps to create the magisk_patch.image shows I need to click the Install button on Magisk then Select and Patch a file. I only have the Update button on Magisk, can I use that instead?
Or if you have other suggestion how to fix my issue. I attached the error I’m getting when I’m updating Magisk.
Thank you in advance for the assistance.

You can't install the magisk using the direct option.
You need to the patch the boot.img file and then flash the magisk_patched.img using fastboot (or spflashtool).

HELP PLS
i first flashed the patched_magisk.img then i got in a twrp boot loop. When i try to reboot into the system i get back to twrp menu.
Then i panicked and went to WIPE and factory reseted,
but it got stuck again. Then i powered it off.
How do i get out of this? I wanted to flash the stock boot.img but the storage folders has strange names
EDIT:
i figured it out what i have done. The data was ecrypted so i formated the data. But now i have another problem:
I installed linageOS from here, but when want to reboot back to system it says
No OS Installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot? i don't undertand why the custom rom didn't install.
I just copied the .zip file with the custom rom in the phone and hit install in TWRP. What did i do wrong?

no, i mean a full guide for rooting from the beggining to end, for redmi note 9. For example i missed the vbmeta and this resulted in an error. Now i have to flash the stock firmware and wait for another 7 days for it to unlock. For newbies like me, this looks like a mess. If you don't have one, can you please create one? Do it for us, newcomers. Thanks

Flashing failed completly, could repair it. What do i do now?

What happend:
I bought a used Mi A2 lite with stock Android 8. Because i already used LineageOS and really love it, i want to continue to use it.
I did the flashing process a few times wrong. After the help of a very kind user i did it as it was supposed to be.
mustaphakosar said:
Let me sum up the process which will probably answer your all questions.
Once you opened the bootloader and flashed TWRP image successfully and saw TWRP screen on your phone, unplug it from PC.
IF you will install a custom rom, than
1- format data, type 'yes'. Reboot to recovery
2- advaanced wipe( everyting except sd card) (ı assume you should have put custom rom file and twrp.installer.zip to your sd card)
3- install custom rom and twrp.installer.zip(choosing to upload from your sdcard, you will be able to see them)
4- go back. Press "reboot" but don't reboot anything. From reboot menu, change slot(if you're at slot 'a', change your slot to 'b', vice versa)
5- now you can press reboot to recovery.
6- once recovery(twrp) opens, you can install gapps and magisk.
7- reboot the system.

Doing so cause, that my Phone didn't boot the OS anymore. I could see the Android ONE bootlogo, after that the screen turned black. Phone must be still running because PC detected a device, when i connected the phone to my PC.
If i keep pressing Louder and Start i could enter recovery, with quieter i could enter fastboot.
Thankfully i discovered this thread:
never ending boot after stock ROM install
My Mi A2 Lite had stock rom v10.0.18.0, unlocked bootloader, Magisk v20.3 and TWRP using Offain v3.3.1. I wanted to try dotOS custom ROM and followed this tutorial: https://github.com/tkchn/daisyinstall I begin with step 1 installing daisy...
forum.xda-developers.com
and fixed the Phone so i can start an OS again. Now is my question, what did go wrong? What is the best way to continue from this point to flash LineageOS on my phone? Do i have to update the OS from the thread first and try it again?
Phone is still OEM unlocked.
Thank you guys in advance!

Ok i got it now. For whoever will find this in the future:
I started at the point above and updated the Stock Android 9 to the latest version.
1. Enable USB-Debugging and open Bootloader in the settings
2. Shut down Phone and start into fastboot
3. Use command: "fastbood oem unlock"
This will cause a factory reset, be aware
4. Check settings and go into fastboot again, then use command
"fastboot boot <name of your twrp image>"
Proceed this way:

How To Guide K40s flash miui.eu rom

Since I am in mainland China, after seven days waiting, I unlocked my k40s finally.
Get ROM from xiaomi.eu link to thread of stable release is https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/miui-13-stable-release.64441/
Download in sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/xi...files/xiaomi.eu/MIUI-STABLE-RELEASES/MIUIv13/

2. xiaomi.eu_multi_MUNCH_V13.0.10.0.SLMCNXM_v13-12.zip
### First one:
I use script inner zip to flash, success.
### The second one:
At first I can't boot from twrp.img after search by Google I found out that I run fastboot command in fastbootd env.
There is a ref: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/fastboot-error-no-such-file.4483677/
I boot to fastboot (Not fastbootD) by command
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
And I can boot the twrp and flash the second rom.
The guide of flash second rom is
Code:
1. push rom to sdcard
2. adb reboot bootloader
3. fastboot boot twrp.img
4. Install rom in TWRP
5. Clear data & format
Update
This guide is for MIUI13 and maybe there's something different of current MIUI14 ROM.

Latest TWRP https://dl.akr-developers.com/?dir=skkk/TWRP/A12/v6.3_A12
BOOT VERSION A12
Installation:
Phone in fastboot mode

hello there...
i am arsh from india. i have unlocked the bootloader of my poco f4 only to flash eu rom. i have unlocked, installed twrp and then i flashed eu rom zip file. In the last step when i try to do format data, i got an error unable to mount system and it was unsuccessful. So without rebooting to system i again rebooted to twrp to perform format data and again same error appeared. later i chaged boot slot from a to b and then performed format data and then it says "no os installed". So i changed slot again to a and then i booted to system and i am able to boot into eu rom.
My Question did i perform the flash correct???

This rom is hybrid, which means you can update it with a pc and fastboot using the update.bat script included in the extracted zip folder.
If you haven't installed all your apps, use the First install .bat file.
The procedure for a first installation with TWRP is as follows:
Twrp/format data type yes reboot Twrp(if errors ,reds lines ,start again by restarting on the Twrp at each try.
Then sideload the rom or use OTG.
Errors remaining at the end of the flash, ignore them.
Delete the lock screen security before all opérations.

tq for the reply. a few hours ago i updated the eu rom to latest version via twrp. for now everything is working. i would like to know some things.
1. imo the battery backup with eu rom is terrible compared to global stable rom. whats your view about that??
2. Are there any heating issues with eu rom 14 ?
3. can we revert to stock rom and lock bootloader?

Not having this device, I cannot answer the first 2 questions precisely but on my 12 pro(Xiaomi Eu rom) the switch to A13 was beneficial for both.(Have you just updated? Give the system time to optimize itself).
3/Use miflash (if you have an F4 and not a K40s).
