Are you coming with stock ROM? If you are, just simply format data in twrp and then install you will be fine.

forgot to update but it's all fine now, simply formatting data didn't help me back then.
what i did:
- flash miui 9 global rom fastboot
- flash twrp via adb
- format system, cache etc without formatting internal storage
- flash custom rom

Could anybody share how can I move from MiUI EU ROM for K30 11.0.15.0 to Poco X2 official build 11.0.7.0?
I installed EU ROM as I found flashing ROM with TWRP was easier than using Mi Flash tool, in case we want to switch between ROM's. But, after I installed 11.0.15.0 I figured lot of the custom ROM's do not boot after flashing them and phone boots into fastboot mode (except couple of ROM's). So, I have been looking at how switch back EU MiUI ROM from 11.0.15.0 to Poco X2 11.0.7.0. The issue am facing while flashing using Mi Flash tool is that it gives error of ARB (Anti rollback error: 2, also I checked the same by issuing fastboot getvar anti, it says 2), and I am not sure how to get past this.
Could someone please help me with this?
I think your device is triggered with anti-rollback. So you cannot install any rom with build less than 11.0.15.0 that is poco x2 11.0.7.0 cant be flashed. So, you have to wait until new poco build greater than 11.0.15.0 and then flash it. Until then, flash your existing rom or some custom rom. Do it carefully and dont ever flash older roms from now, if something goes wrong, your device will hardbrick and you will have to go to service center where they have authorized EDL access to your device to flash things. Best of Luck.
You can use full recovery rom zip 11.0.7 and flash it via twrp. In 11.0.7 zip make sure you change the devicename in script from phoenixin to phoenix as twrp is pheonix.
After flashing you will be on stock 11.0.7 and stock recovery.
If you want to try custom roms , you can just flash the stock vedor zip of 11.0.07 and then flash any aosp custom rom.(you can find this zip in telegram channel/github)

@eagle06 am worried about 11.0.15.0 > 11.0.7.0 which will trigger ARB as @vivek12341 has pointed out and it will hard brick the device, from what I have read around, hence this post if anybody knows a way out. There seemed to be workarounds initially when Xiaomi introduced ARB, I have not seen anybody mentioning such things in recent times especially for MiUI 11.
The reason why I moved to 11.0.15.0 is was, as it has no bloatware etc, and I did NOT know about ARB, now that I have 11.0.15.0 most of the custom ROMs are based on Poco X2 11.0.7.0 and I am facing issues flashing ROMs based on 11.0.7.0, as the format data from TWRP does not wipe properly + I see 98% of the time device goes to fastboot mode even if I flash Poco stock recovery and clear the data, seems like 11.0.15.0 is also an issue
May be I will have to wait till Poco releases updates > 11.0.15.0 or for MiUI 12. Actually I still dont know, not many know much on this subject.
crDroid works without any issues (which is what my current daily driver, its a very stable ROM), flashing on 11.0.15.0 after clearing data, also any ROM whose dev releases fastboot ROM's those also I can flash and boot without issues, rest all ROM's dont and end up back in fastboot mode

You should flash back to China rom (V11.0.15.0.QGHCNXM) using miflash and install TWRP-3.4.1B-0322 using fastboot. After that you can flash all custom roms as normal. I have tried almost all the custom roms and they all work without any problem.
Lol.. Bro i am on miui 12 beta and went back to 11.0.0.7 via twrp flash...
Just download this http://bigota.d.miui.com/V11.0.7.0....NGlobal_V11.0.7.0.QGHINXM_9c232b802a_10.0.zip
Open that in pc, modify the script and rename device name to phoenix from phoenixin.
On twrp format data.. Then reboot to twrp again, tranfer that zip file and just flash. You will be back on stock global 11.0.0.7
Also crdroid as you mentioned has custom vendor which is different from china eu or global one.
If you want to use fastboot zip then you need to use https://www.xiaomitool.com/V2/ to overcome antirollback error.

1. Which script are you talking about? I could not find any script. check attached snapshot.
2. And to do this step from TWRP to flash 11.0.7.0, do I need to be on MIUI EU ROM or I can flash from any custom ROM too?
3. You were on MIUI 12 beta (official global) and changed devicename from phoenixin to phoenix and flashed using TWRP after formatting data, without hitting ARB issue? Wow!
4. You mentioned https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82502389&postcount=3 Telegram/Github where we can get official vendor zip which we can flash from TWRP, any links to that?
5. Is there a Redmi K30 global ROM which I can use instead of Poco X2, they should be same right?

Please share telegram or github link for vendor.zip which I can flash using TWRP. As crDroid has custom vendor may be that is why it works for me on EU ROM and I see other custom ROMs do not have vendor installed while flashing using TWRP.

Sorry, I am asking too many questions, I do not want to brick phone in these times and go stand in queue at Mi service center during these times, when the servicing engineer will touch my phone all over

Its in META-INF/com/google/android/ file name updater-script. Change getprop("ro.product.device") == "phoenixin" || this to getprop("ro.product.device") == "phoenix" || . Why we are doing this? because we are using k30 twrp.. there is no special twrp for poco x2. phoenix = k30, phoenixin=poco x2
2. And to do this step from TWRP to flash 11.0.7.0, do I need to be on MIUI EU ROM or I can flash from any custom ROM too? Any rom
3. You were on MIUI 12 beta (official global) and changed devicename from phoenixin to phoenix and flashed using TWRP after formatting data, without hitting ARB issue? Wow! Yes with twrp. When you flashed twrp recovery , your device is now treated as K30 in twrp space

It is a chinese rom. You can select english as your default language. It really doesn't matter as you are going to wipe it anyway if your purpose is to use it for flashing custom roms.

Bro If you want to use fastboot zip then you need to use https://www.xiaomitool.com/V2/ to overcome antirollback error. Connect device and enable usb debugging and proceed.
Mi flash tool doesnt work for poco.....you always get that rollback error.
For fastboot zips use above tool.
For recovery zips use twrp.
Both methods flash the same thing and twrp will be replaced with stock recovery.

Thanks, really appreciate your quick revert. I am trying out with xiaomitool now. I know TWRP method is simple, just edit/change the devicename. But, I am **** scared after seeing ARB error so many times. So using xiaomitool as you mentioned use it to overcome ARB error. I will update how it goes.
I thought Xiaomi is dev/custom dev friendly, seeing all these errors, no wonder why people resent MiUI so much, of course the hardware + price is good. From my search even Google on their devices is not this harsh about ARB blocking after unlocking bootloader.

Thanks for the vendor image link.
Oh! yeah I am back in Poco 11.0.7.0 image, xiaomitool worked without issues. Thanks to you!!
@eagle06 do you know in this entire image (attached file) list (from tgz file) which is fastboot file? The reason I ask is, in Poco X2 in fastboot mode I see a single deadpixel, whereas when I was in EU MIUI I never saw that dead pixel. I plan to replace that file with EU MIUI fastboot image file, so when am in fastboot, it is clean without any dead pixels.
That small white pixel in fastboot is normal. All users have it including me.

Yep right that is the one. When I was on EU Miui, that one did not have, hence asked which is the image file for fastboot, thought I would flash that or replace next time I flash Poco stock when I am installing new custom ROM.
Yes, its a trivial thing can be ignored, does not really bother or harm.
BTW, so now that I am back in Poco X2 stock (On top of that I have installed BlissROM), next time I have to flash I can use either TWRP or Xiaomitool/V2.
1. For TWRP, I need to rename devicename to phoenix from phoenixin in updater-script and flash it using TWRP after clearing data
OR
2. I can use Xiaomitool/V2 with ADB debugging on (same step as last time)
Just check fastboot getvar anti for my phone, it also says 2. There is no problem for me flashing china rom with miflash. I have successfully flashed it 4 times before.
Good to have another way of flashing - will try the xiaomitool next time. :good:

Woah! Miflash tool kept throwing errors at me and you are saying it worked for you? Phew!!
If I had flashed using TWRP, I might have been holding a 200gm brick in my hands LOL. Got lucky by using Xiaomitool/v2 then Thanks to you. I will stick to Xiaomitool for flashing stock ROMs hence forth.
Hey guys! I am currently on EU rom 12.0.5 . I was thinking about switching to Evolution X rom. But Whenever I am trying to install it via TWRP it is showing the error [Failed to mount '/syetem_root' (Invalid Argument)]. I looked for the solution and tried by changing the file type to ext2 and then again to ext4 but no success! I am able to flash the EU rom again but no other Rom!
Please Help.

Okay, You want to flash new Android 11 Evolution X 5.2 Rom. First you need to flash Miui fastboot ROM if Poco X2 then PheonixIn Fastboot ROM or if Redmi K30 then Pheonix Fastboot ROM using Mi flash tool or you can flash vendor file only using twrp then you need to flash new twrp recovery provided by CryllicBuster and now you can flash Evolution X Android 11 rom.

MOhit, is there no way to just change our device model id TO PHOENIX from PHOENIXIN? I'm tired of flashing these mini firmware roms. I believe any future OTA update can brick the device with the wrong firmware.
Hello Guys, I need some help: I installed Resurection Remix v8.6.6 with the fw V12.0.7.0.qjgeuxm and would like to update it to V12.0.8.0!
The Rom is encrypted, however!
What steps do I have to carry out to cancel the encryption and flash the new firmware?
Many thanks in advance
greetings
H0rdak
if you only want to flash firmware 12.0.8 flash this in recovery and you don't need to do anything else, reboot to recovery just to be on the safe side, then reboot to system...
on the other side, if you want to reflash whole 12.0.8 SW base, that's another case...
THX JERYLL, you're a great help again !!!!
Okay, I mean, I transfer the FW zip file to the phone and install it via Orange Fox?! I still did not understand that with the encryption as explained in the RR thread! Can I easily flash the ZIP file?

yes either download or transfer, then flash in recovery, I did it yesterday, so its safe to do
thanks jeryll,
i have done it now and the system has displayed an error message at the vendor! Do you know whether the update was successful anyway, and where can I read which fw is now installed on the phone ?!
if you did flash only firmware part of 12.0.8 you can't see it in system as a regular update as you only updated drivers which allow to communicate between SW and HW, so when you start up OFOX, on its initial screen you can see the number of the last flashed whole MIUI ROM (for example if before flashing custom ROM you were on MIUI 12.0.6, then flashed RR 8.6.6, now updated only fw part of 12.0.8, your system will still be shown as 12.0.6...
If you are hunting this new number 12.0.8 and not pure functionality, you'll need to reflash full recovery version of MIUI 12.0.8 EU, that will reflash most of the needed components on your phone including vendor and product and then you'll see that number in OFOX. But because in the process your original custom ROM will be overwritten with MIUI, you'll need to reflash RR + GAPPS + Magisk too before you reboot in to system...
Thx, but can I assume that the update has now been carried out successfully, even if this vendor error has occurred?
what vendor error? if your system is booting and working ...
its said: "Failed to mount '/vendor' (invalid argument)" , writen in red !
if it's not showing permanently, all should be okay
Thank you Jeryll !!
Jeryll, a last question that has nothing to do with the firmware topic in itself: My RROS (8.6.6) is encrypted. If I want to update to 8.6.7, should i decrypt first or can I just flash the new update via recovery?!
just dirty flash 8.6.7 over 8.6.6 and reboot to system, check if playstore is working and if magisk is present (optional depends on you using google stuff and root) if needed reboot to recovery, reinstall gapps and magisk ... that should work... I was unable to do clean flash of RR on decrypted storage...
Jeryll, you made my day again !! Many Thanks!!!
Greeting H0RDAK
I have an interesting problem. I was using a11 stable beta official. I wanted to go back to aosp rom. I know it's impossible. But before, I was installing the official A10 rom global then install a11 aosp rom. It was working. But now, When I try to install Official rom by fastboot or recovery or mi flash tool, it stucks on boot. But interesting, I can install Abhix Rog edition rom and A11 official stable beta rom. I can't figure out this problem. I'm using orange fox recovery, also tried with TWRP. Whatever I tried that didn't work. Is there any advice for solution? Thanks in advance.
NOTE : Before, in recovery there are two folders sdcard and scard1.But now even I do format data, I only see only sdcard folder, there's no sdcard1 folder.
I solved the problem. I re-partition sdcard then format data. Then install 12.0.8.0 fw. Install havoc os 4.3 then flash dm-verity disabled then flash permissiver_v5...Boom works

5. Boot into Fastboot.
6. Flash TWRP. Install MIUI Firmware( would be around 80MB -100 MB Only) zip file.
7. install the Recovery Rom zip file. Format Data.
8. Reboot in to Bootloader.
