Can miui official roms be flashed with twrp?

Can miui official roms be flashed with twrp? Or do they only flash on MI stock recovery?

If you have it as a zip for recovery than you can also flash it with twrp

Are you sure? Because I saw that someone said they are supposed to be used with MI stock recovery on miui forum. But it was just one guy...and I never saw anywhere that those roms provided by miui website could be flashed with twrp, that's why I asked. Have you tried that?

Yes, sure. I switch between miui 6 stable rom, miui 7 global beta rom and euphoria or cm roms almost every day

hello everyone,
how can I go back to MIUI ROM ? I want one message which I took backup using MIUI PC Suite. I was on CM12.1, copied 6.6.6.0 & 6.7.2.0 in my phone (for safety). I did clean for system, cache, dalvik-cache, data. Now when I'm trying to install 6.6.6 or 6.7.2 it's giving me error.
mount: failed to mount /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/userdata at /data: Device or resource busy
mount: failed to mount /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system at /system: Device or resource busy
E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/Mi 4i ROMs/ Mi4i_Global_V6.6.6.0.LXIMICF.zip'
how can I achieve this ? am I doing something wrong ???
Please help me.

First wipe cache,data,dalvik,system and then reboot to recovery again then flash the miui rom wait for 10 min.

Whenever u switch from miui to any new custom rom , flash a patch 6.6.10.0 file .. u can avoid this error .. And then follow the usual process after flashing that patch file....

I m running RR 5.8.5 and twrp recovery.
How can I go back to stock miui rom?
Tried flashing stock ROM from twrp recovery, but failed. Can someone guide me for the same?
Thanks.

yes. flash use lazyflasher on twrp

My Phone cannot be flashed into any ROM except the original MIUI

I want to flash an RR into my Mi 4C. So I unlocked my bootloader by registering in Mi.com.
Firstly I flashed in a TWRP Rec
Code:
fastboot flash recovery ..../twrp.img
fastboot boot twrp.img
And successfully boot into rec.
Then I tried to install the ROM. After flashing it stuck on the Mi Logo every time.
Tried sideload and "install" by the TWRP but didn't work.

You can simply check your bootloader status by
fastboot oem device-info

Also select correct TWRP version for Mi4c, based on android version

TWRP selection is related to Android version? Could you please explain a little? When I was flashing my Nexus 6P I've never considered about Android version

After you flashed Nougat based Xiaomi rom, you can't boot on the older version of TWRP.
There is a new TWRP for nougat rom.
If you already flashed Nougat based Xiaomi rom, use the new version. You can find it in here https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/7-2-16-17.38651/

Nothing ever changed
I used this TWRP before.I flashed it in, boot the recovery, flashed in my ROM, checked clear Dalvik cache, pressed Reboot System.
The screen goes dark and never turned on. Press the power button only to realize it Reboot into bootloader.
Every time I reboot it reboot in Bootloader.
Plus I do a FULL wipe every time I flash in and did not work ?
UPDATE!! I flashed in a ROM in XIAOMI.EU and succeed.But why ???
Still failed in flashing in other ROMs

xiaomi.eu provides a modded MIUI. Maybe it's unofficial.
I got a weekly-update version and flashed it in and succeed.
It is MIUI 8

Most probably you mess up with old TWRP & Nougat 7.0 rom
You are welcome :good:

Thanks dude! It helps me a lot! I thought we need to install Nougat recovery before flashing Nougat rom!

How to get back to A10 after custom rom

Hi all so I am planning to install a Havoc OS on my phone with TWRP and Magisk
So my question is in the event that the install doesnt work out for me or that I dont like the rom (no rearson why I shouldnt) how do I get back to the original A10 rom?
I have downloaded the OxygenOS 10.0.6 [EU] OnePlus 7 Pro 5G.zip file from here already. Would I be able to go ahead boot into TWRP and flash this ifneeded?
TIA Bart

Hi Bart,
Make sure you keep TWRP recovery after flashing custom Rom.
Then if you want to go back, flash official Rom zip on both slots after formatting data otherwise it won't boot.

Thanks for that.
Only thing I'm not sure is what you mean by flashing to both slots?
If for example you get a boot loop can you still get into TWRP?
I assume this is a yes as this is before it boots into the phones OS?

When returning to stock,
format data
Flash stock zip
Flash TWRP
Reboot into recovery which is TWRP
Follow the same steps again and reboot...
If you end up in boot loop, don't stress. You can always flash TWRP recovery again via fastboot.

Guys how can i go back to the official MIUI that was in my phone before i installed a custom ROM?

I installed Arrow OS after unlocking bootloader and flashing a recovery so i want to sell the phone and is there anyway i can lock the bootloader and instal the official MIUI?
I already have the official ROM and fastboot can be used on it but i want help to minimize the chances of bricking my phone

Will it work if I flash it directly on TWRP?
-Save MIUI 12 to internal storage
-Boot to recovery
-Flash MIUI
-Format Data
-Reboot

Can't install Pixel Experience Custom Android 12

I have been struggling to install Pixel Experience Android 12 on my Poxo X3 NFC.
I had PE Android 11 before. When I tried to flash Android 12 I get following error
assert failed: update_dynamic_partition(package_extract_file("dynamic_partition_op_list"))
Updater process ended with ERROR: 1
Error installing zip file ...
What I tried
1, Install latest firmware
2. Format Data
3. Wipe data, dalvik, cache
3. Sideloading Custom Rom
Can someone help me to revive my device please?
Thanks a lot

Hello, on my wife's X3NFC I had to flash the latest Full ROM (12.5.7) via Fastboot.
Then I was able to install the lA12 PE. I don't know why I had to do this, but it worked.
She didn't like A12 PE and now A11 PE is running again on her Phone
Maybe (I heard about that) it works too, if you only flash the super.img from latest Fastboot-Image via Recovery.

I installed MIUI fastboot rom. Then I tried to flash PE A12 rom without any issues. But after successful completion, phone reboots to bootloader (Fastboot). Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?
Can you please give me steps to install PE after you've installed MIUI fastboot rom?

1st installed latest MIUI via MiFlash
Booting successful into MIUI
Flashing TWRP in Fastboot-Mode
Booting into TWRP, install ROM, wipe Caches and format data.
Reboot Phone
