My Mi 4c arrived yesterday. I bought it using donations that I received from various project (Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, Tab 3, Tab 4, OnePlus One, Xiaomi Redmi 2). It's seems for Chinese market: a lot of Chinese apps, incomplete English translation, no Google services. Fortunately, TWRP port already available for this device, so rooting and installing GApps is easy. Somehow I still want to keep the original recovery.
1. Boot to fastboot mode (VOL DOWN + POWER) to fastboot TWRP:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
2. Flash SuperSU in TWRP
3. Flash Open GApps nano in TWRP
As you know, loading touchscreen firmware need times in TWRP. Just do other thing while waiting for it :laugh: The possible cause is firmware "ping-pong" issue when in kernel touchscreen firmware different between recovery and normal boot. But why loading a firmware so that long?
My device come with MIUI 7.1.4.0, unlocked bootloader. I just upgrade it to 7.2.1.0 without firmware update to keep the bootloader unlocked but use 7.1.6.0 kernel to boot it because no go with the new kernel (incompatible firmware?), MIUI logo forever. BEWARE: Don't upgrade your device to 7.2.1.0 using a standard method, your bootloader will be locked!
Attached Hardware Info report for my future reference if I decide to develop custom ROM/kernel.
@emfox, I'm with you :laugh:
MIUI 7.2.1.0 without firmware update.
how can you update to 7.2.1.0 version without firmware update?
btw, I think I will wait for Xiaomi EU or sMIUI, so I can flash them via twrp....

Backup /system/lib/modules, download 7.2.1.0, inject a modified updater-script, flash it in TWRP recovery, restore /system/lib/modules, reflash SuperSU, reflash GApps.
I hope you can make modified rom 7.2.1.0 without bootloader.

Uploading a big file always a problem for me. Maybe I'll create a proper instructions and script for it.
I confirm touchscreen "ping-pong" issue the source problem of TWRP touchscreen freeze on boot. If touchscreen driver found a different firmware version, it will flash a "proper" firmware and delayed touchscreen event initialization.
welcome aboard, my dear friend!
Looks to me, we got another developer. Good

Thanks for documenting your findings.
I can tell you I've never experienced the touchscreen bug since day one, I flashed Team Superluminal's TWRP 2.8.7.3 and I can press all buttons soon as I see them

Hi all.
So, as we know with recent MIUI update Xiaomi screwed our whyred. And this gave birth to many questions which is like a struggle for many users to find all those answers. So, I tried to answer all your questions. If you think your question isn't included please feel free to ask.
Q1: What is this "Anti-Rollback" thing?
A: Its a security measure that Google brought with the release of Android Oreo. It makes sure that your data is secure even when phone is stolen or if any attacker tries to downgrade the software and wants to gain control over your data.
Q2: How is this harmful to my device?
A: Well, as a security measure it should never give you a hard-brick. When someone tries to downgrade, it should display a warning and get turned off but there's difference between how things should work and how Xiaomi does. As Google has stated, "Anti-Rollback" should get automatically turn off when the user unlocks the bootloader but in case of MIUI even unlocked users are getting hard-bricks. Hopefully the developers of MIUI should push an update soon and if they don't, our beloved devs will find a way for sure
Q4: So, what now? Will Xiaomi solve this issue?
A: We do not know. But our beloved developers in the XDA-Forum will find a way for sure
Q5: How to know if my device is affected by it?
A: Run fastboot command :
Code:
fastboot getvar anti
The displayed output : 3 shall mean you're fine while 4 shall mean you're in the Anti-Rollback squad.
Q6: I'm in the Anti-Rollback squad what now?
A: Don't worry you can still flash custom recovery and roam around custom ROMs but avoid flashing any firmware or any MIUI ROM which is older than what you're using now otherwise you'll brick your device.
Q7: Which MIUI builds include "Anti-Rollback"?
A: All the MIUI builds which are released after Stable MIUI V9.5.17.0 and Beta MIUI V8.7.5 include "Anti-Rollback". And yes the Chinese versions are affected as well.
Q8: Do MIUI Stable V9.5.17.0 and Beta V8.7.5 have "Anti-Rollback" enabled?
A: NO. If you're on either of these builds you are safe to downgrade and use any older version.
Q9: How to flash custom recovery and custom ROMs on "Anti-Rollback" enabled devices?
A: On "Anti-Rollback" enabled ROMs you cann't flash custom recovery permanently. You'll have to boot into recovery first by running fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot boot xyz.img
(where xyz is name of your recovery file). Once you're booted into the custom recovery, copy the recovery image file in the internal storage and flash that recovery from recovery itself. Now you've successfully flashed custom recovery and you're good to go with custom ROMs. WARNING: Avoid flashing any firmware.
Q10: Can I migrate from Stable to Beta and vice-versa?
A: You can install Beta from Stable, make sure you flash latest Beta build same is the case with Stable. If you're on anti-4 firmware, whether its Beta or Stable you can switch to any anti-4 MIUI ROM Beta or Stable but remember you must flash latest version available while switching. (anti-4 means "Anti-Rollback" enabled firmware)
Q11: Can I unlock bootloader and flash custom ROMs on an "Anti-Rollback" enabled device?
A: Yes. Again to flash custom ROMs and recovery refer to Q9.
Q12Can I flash "Anti-Rollback" enabled ROM via TWRP?
AWell, in some cases it did work, just flash lazy flasher zip file after flashing MIUI ROM via TWRP. But while switching to MIUI from AOSP based ROMs on an "Anti-Rollback " enabled device I recommend you to go with fastboot method to avoid chances of brick.

Thanks for the above, but I believe that #9 is true. All MIUI roms regardless of version and anti roll back protection willl reflash the default MIUI recovery when you boot the OS. The only way to get it to stay is by flashing a custom ROM after TWRP, or by obtaining root and removing the "/system/bin/install-recovery.sh" file. If you're on anti-rollback you won't even be able to flash the recovery - you'll get an anti-rollback protection error.
This only concerns the "Xiaomi Redmi Note 5"?
For the Fastboot Command : fastboot getvar anti , I have : Anti:1 .. What does means ?
When you says "avoid flashing any firmware or any MIUI ROM which is older than what you're using now." , So Imagine if I have MIUI 10 Official with Android 8.1 and I Would like to flash like Xiaomi.eu or Lineage OS with Android 8.0 , The phone will brick ?
If I want to Flash Mod with TWRP Flashable Zip , the phone will brick or not ?
Thanks for your FAQ !
For me when i type fastboot devices it shows my device number but when i type this command fastboot getvar anti it shows nothing please help and im using Redmi note 5 vince version and miui version is 9.6.2.0 global stable.

You answered yourself... It is ONLY for Redmi Note 5 (Pro) aka whyred! You are even in wrong device forum!
One doubt..... I am on AOSP right now. If I flash global beta 8.7.12 in twrp and then flash lazyflasher, will my twrp be removed !! Will I be able to go back to AOSP ?? @Saabu

After you flash a ROM that has Anti-Rollback enabled, you can still switch to AOSP anytime as I discussed in Q9. And yes, flashing lazy flasher simultaneously after MIUI will keep your TWRP.
Happy flashing

Hi, @Saabu,
Many thanks for the clarification.
However to enter the code through the fastboot, it has to be with the equipment turned off in fastboot mode, right?

I am a little concern about all this anti rollback matter...
well, the point is i am in xiaomi.eu rom, 8.6.28 (miui 10). I have checked the "anti" variable via the "fastboot getvar anti", and return 3.
Now, I would like to downgrade to miui 9 via twrp, and since I have "the 3 value" I understand that I can downgrade without any trouble, rigth?
However, I have found this https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/antiroll-back.44975/
Here a guy have tried somehing similar and...briked phone.
What do I do now? Flash? i stay in a rom version that i dont like?
Thanks for your answers

You can flash any MIUI 9 with anti 3 via TWRP. Dont flash the ROMs with anti 4 via TWRP. Last MIUI ROMs with anti-3 were: Stable MIUI V9.5.17.0 and Beta MIUI V8.7.5.

When updating to LOS/AOSP based rom, its installer does not include firmware update. So you gonna have the same anti value after flashing it. Btw, check their official thread, they have clear installation instructions now.
what about my warranty if my phone is bricked?
will they do for free of cost
as my phone got bricked today 3 months old phone
If I delete firmware update folder in any rom ( with ARB4 ,ARB4,any older ROM) and flashing that will brick my phone ?

Thanks. but now i have some more question. Sorry this ARB Think is
Which official thread did you mean ? I found the official installation guide but i can't read anythink about devices with ARB4
... sorry can't post the link to LOS
Another thing that makes me thoughtful is Q2 in the beginning. "As Google has stated, "Anti-Rollback" should automatically turn off when the user unlocks the bootloader but in case of MIUI even unlocked users are getting hard-bricks."
So unlocking the bootloader is essential for flashing a custom recovery. What can/ must i do if i have a ARB4 Device to install TWRP ? On the TWRP side i can't read anything about this problem
.. sory can't post the link to TWRP
So please help me because i don't want to brick my device
iam on 8.7.5 with unlocked bootloader can i flash custom roms like los and rr rom by using twrp
Though everyone seems bz with antirolback or pie "Dual Boot Patcher" has officially supported whyred. Thanks to "chenxiaolong" (its completely his work)
here's official site https://dbp.noobdev.io/
downloads:
https://dbp.noobdev.io/downloads/
we have lots to talk about and there will be many success story to discuss . lets start.
those who dosen't know or new to this it actually uses other storage partitions to flash roms and there are many unique features like app data sharing on multiple roms , in app flashing roms etc.
welcome to the party .
process to flash
1. patch the rom.zip file with app or from windows for multi slot partition . e.g. rom-multi-slot-1.zip (not sure secondary works or not)
2. try add rom from in app (if its aroma you have to flash from twrp)
3. switch rom from menu
4. reboot
everything for better understanding is here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447534
Last I knew even oreo wasn't supported on dbp.

Hey i will unlock my device in the next days and actually have global stable rom with arp4. My idea was to unlock, boot twrp through adb, save stock rom and stock recovery, flash twrp, flash root, install dual boot patcher and test/install roms as second rom and leave stock rom as primary. My hope is that this way there is no risk of bricking my device. am i right? thank you
@ecrum you got dual boot patcher successful installed on whyred? Didn't test it till now but i am not sure if there could be problems because of ARP and a risk of bricking the device? Thank you
i know that i doesn't support Oreo

still no update from dev's side. but no risking bricking either. for now it only see all the partitions and it can set the kernel for primary rom for pie. in case of oreo a non gsi rom perhaps Ressurection Remix could work. in case of dual pather the rom updater script must support DBP ...
things have to go long way for now. but its not bricking anything. test if you like but nonetheless you have taken a proper nand backup
Any news?
still not working?????

10.0.4.0 bootloops for me
Coming from Pixel 3 Experience GSI ROM by EnesSastim. I can fastboot flash the official MIUI 10 Global which works but every time I flash this ROM via TWRP I just get bootloop.
Full wipe doesn't seem to help so I guess I'm sticking on the official Global ROM for now. Any ideas?

Not sure if you ever figured it out but the instructions on EU's site are terrible and not very descriptive.
When they mean when they say "Wipe /Data" is to hit Wipe > Format Data > Type Yes (and swipe to confirm I believe) You will then have to copy over the zip to your phone and flash (That's why the instructions are written that way)
Keep in mind, that this will wipe your internal storage so make a back up. It also takes a long time to boot, longer than clean miui install.
is it possible to flash from one MIUI 10 rom to another? mine is on stock chinese 10 rom now, and can't see any files on the root folder of the phone under recovery. may need to use the rom's flash function.
Hello friends, I hope and can help me, it turns out I have the ROM installed but not let me have permissive the seLinux with the kernel stock, just let me if I put a modified kernel, the problem is that for me none of all the modified kernel gives me the autonomy that gives me and L kernel stock, I want to have the permissive ROM of seLinux with the kernel stock, someone knows how? Thank You for your help

Might sound like a silly question, but when the phone was first launched and people applied xiaomi.eu roms, some reported that installing magisk would brick their phones for whatever reason. Is this still the case? I just want to pass my safetynet

Hello again!
I saw a post where leipnacht provides a link to the public beta of Android R. (I let you here a drive link to download it faster).
I flashed it and it's working properly on my device. There is some bugs, but the most part of the things works without problems (Personally, I didn't face any bug itself (only a low noise with the vibration by the moment), but there are some comments in the page of bbs nubia about some problems with other things.
The previous conditions from where I update to Android R Red Magic Rom were using a GSI in the Android 10 chinese version of the rom. So, the steps I followed are:
1. In the recovery, wipe data, cache and dalvik. Also, format data.
2. Flash in the Android 10 TWRP the Android R rom.
3. Flash this NikGapps Package , Magisk Debug and DFE (Encrypt disabler in order to be able decrypt data in the recovery). I also flashed Permissive_5 but I think there is no need to do it.
4. Boot and enjoy.
I will attach all the files and some screenshots for those who want to take a see to the rom. Personally, I feel no changes in this version, but, as always, the performance is great and it runs really smooth. It's a beta version, so I hope more changes in the future.
P.D. In order to get safetynet passing, I used HideProps Config magisk module. There is no big issues with it, and everything is fixable
P.d.2. This rom has antiroll-back active, so if you want to go back to previous version, you will have to use the unbrick tool

Thanks for the update.
I have been planning to upgrade my Red Magic 3 to Android 10 (CN rom) for quite a while now. And its good to know A11 beta has arrived too.
Have you tried fps games on this device like pubg mobile, cod etc? Do they work properly ?
Also, I haven't even unlocked bootloader on my device. Can you proivde a better guide, to completely switch from global rom (stock) to A11 (beta) or A10 CN rom (stable).
Need links / guide for following items -
- Unlock bootloader
- Link of working twrp and steps to flash (should I change recovery after installing this beta?)
- Gapps and Magisk link (As I can't run this device without Google services).
It will be a huge help for me to get started.
Take your time with it (no rush).
Thanks in advance!!!

Hey!
No problem at all. I let you here two guides to migrate to the cn rom and even a gsi
Be careful and aware about what you are going to do, It's not specially difficult but you have to get ready all the files and tools in case of brick or bootloops.
Enjoy the flashing!

Thanks for the links. I am planning to update to stable A10 version for now.
I have few questions it be a huge help you could clear some of my doubts -
1. After unlocking bootloader I have to install TWRP (for gapps to run). So should I install TWRP after flashing CN rom ? or before ?
I am asking this because I read in some guides that only CN rom is custom recovery capable.
2. If you have run A10 stables before, does OTA updates require to be installed via TWRP only ?
Will I loose Gapps and Root access if I updated the ota directly from settings? And will every rom flash with TWRP clear my installed apps ?
Thanks in advance for helping!!. ??

Well, I will go in order:
1. You have to flash first in the stock recovery the Android 10 CN rom and then flash the custom recovery. There is no twrp avaible for global rom. Once in the custom recovery, you can flash Gapps and Magisk (in android 10 there is no need of DFE file, the recovery is able to decrypt data properly.
2. You don't need to get worried about OTAs, there is no a constant software update work by nubia for this device, but in case of update, you would flash the rom from the offcial page, with magisk and gapps again and be sure you keep the custom recovery.

Hello again!
I saw a post where leipnacht provides a link to the public beta of Android R. (I let you here a drive link to download it faster).
I flashed it and it's working properly on my device. There is some bugs, but the most part of the things works without problems (Personally, I didn't face any bug itself (only a low noise with the vibration by the moment), but there are some comments in the page of bbs nubia about some problems with other things.
The previous conditions from where I update to Android R Red Magic Rom were using a GSI in the Android 10 chinese version of the rom. So, the steps I followed are:
1. In the recovery, wipe data, cache and dalvik. Also, format data.
2. Flash in the Android 10 TWRP the Android R rom.
3. Flash this NikGapps Package , Magisk Debug and DFE (Encrypt disabler in order to be able decrypt data in the recovery). I also flashed Permissive_5 but I think there is no need to do it.
4. Boot and enjoy.
I will attach all the files and some screenshots for those who want to take a see to the rom. Personally, I feel no changes in this version, but, as always, the performance is great and it runs really smooth. It's a beta version, so I hope more changes in the future.
P.D. In order to get safetynet passing, I used HideProps Config magisk module. There is no big issues with it, and everything is fixable
P.d.2. This rom has antiroll-back active, so if you want to go back to previous version, you will have to use the unbrick tool

Could you please tell me where to download the 3.11 rom. I am not aware that this rom exists. Is this a CN or global rom? Thanks for your reply.

Oh! Didn't expect that. I just post this for Red Magic 3 device users. I don't know how RM3S actually works. Have you tried the unbrick tool from chinese version? Or just flashing the global rom from recovery is enough?

Let's see. Here is a link for Red Magic 3S unbrick tool. Download the non-eu ones.
If you have a Red Magic 3 with Red Magic 3s software, I will provide you the link to the other unbrick tool.
Also, you can try flashing the global rom from the stock recovery included in the package of the A11 rom that you have download.

So then, It's not a problem of the unbrick tool, that is actually working properly. The thing is that you didn't know how to do a correct process to migrate from cm rom to global...
The first thing you should do is reboot the phone into fastboot mode (power+vol. Down). Then, connect the phone to the PC and type the next commands in the cmd:
Code:
fastboot devices
in order to see if your device is being recognized
Code:
fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX629J
to unlock the bootloader
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
in order to make your phone able to boot with a modified software. In the moment you will enter this command, you will see a screen advising you about your data (it'll be erased once you accept to unlock flashing).
After that, you can reboot your phone, that will show you an screen advising you that the bootloader is open. Accept and continue without problems.
Tell me if you have been able to make your phone boot.

Required in CN A10 + twrp A10, or maybe from CN A9 + twrp A9 to be able to flash
