How to update to MIUI 7 after root - Xiaomi Mi 4i

I am on MIUI 6 v 6.6.6.0 and i want to directly flash MIUI 7 v 5.8.28 on this
I am rooted and with TWRP,
so can i flash this new rom zip directly from the TWRP or do i need to unroot it first and then install the update?

I haven't done the update myself, but have been reading up on it. It seems that flashing via recovery (either original or TWRP) should be OK. OTA after root seems to have issues.
My phone is just 2 days old. I want to observe it for a week before updating to 5.8.28 or later. (Haven't updated the sig yet to reflect the new phone. My first phone without a physical keyboard.)

Screw'd Android 7.2.1 - AOSP - how to root?

It has been a long time since a last rooted my Nexus 5 device. Therefore and for some other reasons i flashed a new custom rom from screw'd android.
The lastest official image of 30th april. So now Android 7.2.1 is working very well on my phone. But how can i simply root my android phone
now?
(In early times i used Nexus Root Toolkit but for some reasons this doesn't work i think with this custom rom..., or im not able to do it..)
Hopefully someone who has still a good overview can give me a short explanation.
thx.
Flash Magisk v12.0 in recovery, or just flash supersu.
7.2.1 lol
lol 7.1.2 -> no i got root, flashing supersu zip file.
one question i got information that a new OTA update by LEAN screw'd is available.
There stand with root i can directly update, but i can not get information if data / app will be lost?
Do you know how this would/should be handled?

Problem with update to android 9

I have the original Android 8.0 system and software version 2.33.401.19. Two days ago, my HTC announced that there is a new update to android 9.0. It downloads it and tries to install it. After reboot, TWRP starts and I choose to restart the system. Nothing is updated, and after a while I see a message that the update file is damaged.
A few weeks ago I unlocked the bootloader, ripped the phone and installed TWRP and MagiskManager. I suspect that the unlocked bootloader causes these problems. What should I do to install this update?

not the unlocked boot loader, it's because you have twrp installed. you need stock recovery(and what ever you do don't relock your bootloader)you can get back to stock by flashing the oreo ruu, then you'll recieve the ota and it will install.you need the ruu for your phone.that's it.
this will wipe your internal, so if you have something on there you want to keep, back it up to your pc, then you can restore, also, you'll need to reinstall twrp and magisk after you install the ota.
Thanks for answer. I'm going to do this ....
Hi,
Is there a way I can just flash the stock recovery and try to OTA? Really don't want to backup 80GB and restore back.

Hello Guys, i have a qq.
My X3 NFC is rooted with magisk, and have TWRP recovery, the thing is I am not sure if I should run or not the stock ROM updates, I am currently 12.0.4, and there is an update to 12.0.8, will updating to this version mess my root or TWRP, should I go for it or refrain from running the update?

Question Updating ROM from Chinese (13.0.8) to EU rom

Hi everyone . Couple of weeks ago I received my 12S Ultra, and started with unlocking process. Phone is currently unlocked and I was looking for threads which show the process of updating it to latest EU rom. I've seen this https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-miui-thor-xiaomi-eu-rom-for-xiaomi-12s-ultra.4481389/ thread and wanted to ask if this is up to date? I'd like to install MIUI 14 also if that is possible.
Another list of questions, would updates after flashing be working or would I need to manually update ROM as the releases come, and also are there any significant issues on MIUI 14 or should I go with MIUI 13?
Thanks in advance.
2 versions of rom, Weekly or stable. The weekly is a hybrid rom and for the moment the stable is installed with the TWRP.
Both receive updates via OTA.

Thanks for quick reply, okay so if I understood you correctly after flashing I can just update it directly on the phone when update comes via OTA. For the TWRP installation, so I can't just follow the tutorial and execute the first install script (which formats data) correct?
Just trying to wrap my head around this since I've flash global ROM before but without TWRP. Once more thanks for answering.

Installing TWRP does not require data formatting.
But for the first installation of a Xiaomi EU rom it is advisable to format the data with TWRP or use the first install.bat script depending on the version of the rom.
