Hi all!
I'm running the mentioned ROM at the moment and I'm having several problems (GPay not working, Netflix not working, ...) so I want to go back to a standard MIUI version.
Can I flash the official global ROM via TWRP on my device? Or won't that work or brick my device?
Otherweise can I flash any custom ROM like Pixel Experience or Lineage without any problems over the actual ROM?
Hi. yes you can install the miui rom via twrp. we must take the version in .Zip and not that of fastboot. then if you want to use gpay, you must reblock the bootloader. me, I would prefer to use miflash to install the original rom and it also allows to reblock the bootloader by checking the box.
With relocked Bootloader, I cannot install any other Rom like Pixel experience or Lineage, correct?
I GPay only working with Stock Rom?

yes, if you reblock the bootloader, you could no longer install custom rom. it will unlock the bootloader again. but if you want to use gpay on a custom rom, you have to install magisk.

Hi.
I'm right now on TS CM 13.1 and I want to try the RR. But I didn't unlock the bootloader officially, so I need to do it properly now so I won't end with an locked bootloader.
While I'm waiting for the approval... can I just flash the latest China dev ROM with my current recovery? Or should I flash it from fastboot?
Thank you.
Since you have a custom recovery, try Xiaomi.eu or miGlobe, though be careful as I think latest versions (Android 7) will lock the bootloader. To be safe, I'd flash an older version with Android 5.1 for now.
You can't try RR 5.8.1 based on Android 7.1 as it requires lollipop bootloader.
Or you can flash 6.12.22 and then update to any Nougat Miui Rom available on Xiaomi.eu. This is done via Updater app.

I didn't realise there was a previous RR version with lollipop bootloader.
I already got the SMS with the approval from Xiaomi. I though it would take long. So, if get that right, I should first flash an older Android 5.1.1 Dev ROM and than update it with the Updater app to the latest version with 7.1 . This will lock the bootloader and than I can unlock it officially.
If I do it from from fastboot I can flash directly the latest 7.1 dev ROM, right?
Thank you guys. I always messed around with ROM's with my old GNex, but this Miui stuff confuses me a bit.
No need. Just go in TWRP and see the RR N thread there is a link to nougat blobs. Install that and then install newer TWRP that works with nougat (see android development). I think at this point you'd have to unlock bootloader. Then install room normally
But, as I read in the RR N thread, after I flash those blobs I'll end up with a locked bootloader if I previously unlocked it unofficially. As I did.
And, at least I think, I can only unlock it again from an official ROM. That's why I want to flash Miui.

Whether you have unlocked your device officially or not, it will still lock your bootloader. The key here is if you have the permission to unlock it. If not, then don't proceed. You can officially unlock your bootloader after 5 business days upon receiving the SMS.
Ok. I do have the permission. And can I unlock the bootloader right away with mi flash unlock on a custom ROM or do I need the official miui ROM?
Worked for me with no OS, so I assume you do not need miui.

After you flash the blobs, the bootloader will be locked. Unlock it via Mi Flash. Then flash a Nougat compatible TWRP and you're good to go in flashing Nougat RR.
Any recommendation on which ROM should i use for my 1st custom ROM? Is the pixel experience any good? i mean is there any major issues about this ROM? Is it also safe to flash it on my current MIUI version whihc is MIUI 10.2.2.0 PDGMIXM its the global version. I already unlocked my bootloader and currently searching for tutorials on how to install TWRP and which one should I install in this device. Many thanks in advance if anyone responds on this post.

It depends on how many costumizations you prefer. LineageOS and Pixel Experience do not have many extra features, while e.g. RR, Arrow and Havoc do. I experienced very few bugs in PE and LOS, but I haven't tried other custom roms. LOS has very clear installation instructions, which are also applicable to most other custom roms: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/polaris/install
We have an official TWRP version; you can find the instructions and download link on https://twrp.me.
Thanks
I just want to try a new look on my phone. Ill install those roms soon, is it ok to back up this current miui im using if i dont like the rom i installed right?
Yes, but some users (including me) reported failures of restoring full rom backups. So make sure you also use some alternative backup (e.g. the Migrate app) and save your backup files on an external device.
Use a full backup with TWRP. It worked for me every time. However there is a bug with phone protection (unlock code or fingerprint) - and you have to delete it manually in TWRP file manager.
But everything works fine.

Pretty much easier is removing any PIN or fingerprint authorization before doing the backup.

Not sure I get you. My apologies. Removing any PIN, fingerprint authorization before doing twrp backup is inevitable unless you want to modify your backup file the way somebody above described.

You can still receive OTA updates on the unlocked bootloader as long as you are using official Mi rom and you do not have twrp installed. TWRP may break OTA updates. At best case an OTA will just replace your twrp with stock recovery. Root also should not affect OTA updates. So no problem getting ota even if bootloader is unlocked as far as I am aware of

I'm in the same case , I had a mi8 and installed a pixel experience and my brother took it and since he use s and until now everything works well he even knows that I changed the rom and that's not miui Lol
Do I bought I used mix 2s and I think I'm gonna install the lineage is because I want security patches and updates on the rom
Hi Guys, basically, whenever I try any rom and get bored or just don't like it, I try to go back to the stock rom, but I don't know an easy way to do it.
On other phones it has been as easy as flashing a .zip file
I have seen methods such as returning to stock rom through fastboot, which does not work for me and which is very heavy because I end up in brick.
The way in which I can return to stock rom is through MSM, that is, in EDL mode and it is very heavy to have to do it always, that's why I have limited myself a lot to change roms or have root or recovery because installing stock rom is an odyssey for me.
Just boot to TWRP and flash stock rom zip file on both slots. Dont forget to wipe data

Your phone is China or Global?
If your phone is China, do not flash any version of miui 12.5. It will disable Google services.
Also for all phones, do not install a very old version of miui because it will brick it. Try to remember the version of miui that you was on before you jumped to xiaomi.eu, and install a newer version of that.
I'm asking for opinions. What is the difference between ROM 13.0.19.0.SLCEUXM and xiaomi.eu_multi_XM12_V13.0.37.0.SLCCNXM

The first is stock rom intended for the European continent.
The second is a custom rom based on Chinese firmware with many modifications and latest developments.
Better than stock.
See here:https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/miui-13-stable-release.64441/
Change version to stock rom(EEA to Global,etc) or install Xiaomi EU rom requires bootloader to be unlocked.
It is better to install the first ROM or the second one. Bootloader is unlocked. And I have a second ROM installed. Should I reinstall it? And I have to format in TWRP? Thanks for the answers.

How did you install the rom and what rom do you want install?
I had 13.0.19.0.SLCEUXM there, but I formatted, apparently there is nothing there, the system says that it is not installed. Formatting doesn't work. I can only go to fastboot or TWRP. I do not know what to do. I would like to install such a ROM there, from which it will be possible to upgrade Android 13 when it is available. I don't know what to do. Thanks for the help.

For a stock rom I always use MIFLASH
Use Miflash:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/flash-tool-guide-use-xiaomi-flash-tool.4262425/
DONT RELOCK THE BOOTLOADER
EDIT:
With a stock rom and a bootloader unlocking the play will not be certified.
This problem does not exist with XIAOMI EU ROMS.
Important:
What's the version of your phone?Global,EEA,CHINESE?
Global

So,if you use Miflash you can re lock the bootloader.
I like to use TWRP, Magisk so I don't want to lock the bootloader. I need to learn how to do with MiFlash. I was able to install the rom via TWRP. But I had big problems with formatting the data. It seems to be fine now.

You want to be up to date with the latest rom so why did you install an EEA rom when there is a stable global beta in A13.
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/cupid/
You have problems with the TWRP and you want to root and use modules, if you are a beginner these are not really things to do, with the root an error and the phone is broken.
Prevention is better than cure.
