I wanted to install cutom rom in my Mi4i working on MIUI 8, so I installed TWRP from toolkit , which also installed SuperSU.But I don't know if my bootloader was unlocked or not?
I saw in a youtube video to flash MIUI 6 first to install Custom rom or you might endup in BOOTLOOP.
In TWRP I wiped Dalvik,Data,Cache,System.
Went to INSTALL, tried installing MIUI6 but that package failed to install. Giving error unable to mount.
I tried custom rom crDroid and it installed but when I restarted I WAS STUCK IN BOOTLOOP.
After a heartattack I finally flashed MIUI8 with MiFLASHER using fastboot image of MIUI 8.
SO, I want to ask IS THERE A WAY TO INSTALL CUSTOM ROM ,IF I AM ON MIUI 8????
And that bootloop was caused beacuse I didn't unlock bootloader when I installed crDroid???
Thanx in advance. Please somebody help???

I would suggest you to install Resurrection Remix as it is based on miui8 firmware.
You were stuck in bootloop because crDroid was based on miui6 firmware and probably your installation of the same was failed ( Like you're saying )
Since you get "Heart Attack", Prefer clean install.
Wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache.
Flash Rom, gapps,
Reboot to system.
Note:- To install custom ROMs based on miui6 firmware, first of all, flash the provided firmware in the thread instead of flashing the whole miui6.
Ask further if it doesn't work.
Hit thanks if helped.

Hi there,
I flashed omerjerk' CM 12.1 according to the install guide and also flashed GAPPS afterwards.
CM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-4i/development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-1-t3212636
GAPPS: as suggested in install guide https://github.com/cgapps/vendor_google/tree/builds/arm64 i took the "gapps-5.1-arm64-2015-07-17-15-08.zip"
When rebooting the system, CM optimized all apps and then started.
Then, I got the CM setup screen but the phone did not recognize any touches. After a few seconds the phone restarted again and I got into a loop.
Can someone help please?
EDIT: I have tried different ROMS (e.g. this one but I have the same problem. This time I could swipe through the languages for 1 sec. Then freeze again and restart
I guess your on MIUI 6.7.x.x or 7.0.x.x ...................... to use any custom rom on Mi4i you need to be on MIUI 6.6.x.x or earlier verion to it before u flash custom roms ....
Fastboot your device with 6.6.x.x to fix and install CM or any roms.

I got it working.
I tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-4i/development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-1-t3212636
and the guide included already the flash to MIUI 6.6.10
I think everybody should include that step in their guides
Hello im new to mi4i custom rom, i've phone installed MIUI7 global 5.11 version, i would like to install custom rom Mokee to my phone, but i don't know where to start.

Hi.
I did not flash the ROM that you mentioned (Primo-S)!
Which recovery do you use to flash the custom rom? I had some issues with CWMR and had to switch to TWRP ... to flash CM 11 on the Desire-S.
Regards.
Hi.
After rooting the phone (with CMWR) I flashed TWRP recovery to the HTC Desire S (TWRP-saga-2.8.7.0-unofficial.img)
After booting in recovery I installed CM 11 (cm-11-20150702-UNOFFICIAL-XNG3C-saga.zip)
Due to the limited space on the HTC Desire S I installed only a reduced set of GAPPS afterwards (gapps-444-base-20150818-1-signed.zip plus some Gapps afterwards).
Hello guys for some reason i stocked my OPO to CM11S through that link:https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/tool-oneplusrecovery-tool-v1-0-restore-t2991851 and it went succesfull. After that i just flashed official TWRP 3.0.2.0 and try to install custom ROM(tried lineage os 14.1 and tugapower N18)(both nougat) but i just cant install either. i just get updater process ended with error=7 message and nothing happens. Please help me.
UPDATE:Next time if you wat to go stock and flash Android N build after that, first flash cm13 via fastboot. Then you can flash every ROM you want with out a hitch.
i am using Redmi 4x and used twrp package installer to install twrp and thus installed twrp 3.0.3-0(cofface).Now i am trying to install pixel experience and forgot to have a backup . I wiped all data and system and now when i am flashing the new rom i am getting Error 7 and No MD5 file found.So what should i do ? i tried flashing newer version of twrp and was succesful but i am not rebooting the device as i am fearing to get it in bootloop . Need Help Fast as the phone is my primary device.

Error status 7 occurs when what you are trying to flash is not built for your specific model number or if you're trying to flash a custom ROM via stock recovery or if you're trying to flash a stock update.zip via custom recovery.
It has to be for your specific model number
Are you certain that you successfully flashed TWRP and are you certain that you're booted into TWRP instead of stock recovery?

Yes , i successfully flashed twrp and i also booted into it . But it was a older version 3.3-0 (cofface) and was unofficial and was installed via a twrp installer package . And i rom i was trying to flash was also correct . I also tried it with Lineage OS and it was the same .Then downloaded the Miui stable rom and flashed it and was successful . But before booting it said "No OS installed" , so i tried having a backup and when i did my device got Bricked .
