Open Gapps not showing up on Lineage OS 16 - Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers

I have the Global Mi Mix 3. After doing a factory reset, I installed the EU Rom Version 9.5.9, booted, wiped data again and installed EU Rom Version 9.2.15, then flashed Lineage OS 16 for Mi Mix 3 (unofficial) and installed Open Gapps (nano and stock) without rebooting. The installation is successful, but when I reboot there are just no Gapps, I also looked in the settings->apps, only the apps pre-installed with Lineage OS are showing up. When I try to flash them again, the installer says they're already on the phone.

Any ROM bootloops in my Mi Mix 2s

I've tried installing PixelExperience 10 on my phone (which is unlocked and with a custom recovery) and first it throw me Error 7, but that was because I hadn't flash the firmware and vendor .zips before PixelExperience, but even flashing that, the device bootloops until a certain point and then it boot back to recovery.
I've tried with dotOS, LineageOS, even MIUI, multiple versions of it, and non of it are working. The device just bootloops with everything.
Fastboot is accesible, recovery is accesible. I'm using OrangeFox Version R10.0_2, but I originally installed TWRP and I had the same problem.
Have you tried flashing TWRP, then using TWRP recovery environment to wipe EVERTHING, then use adb to push lineageOS (since you will have wiped internal data and lost your rom file)

OrangeFox lets me wipe the same partitions (even Vendor, which TWRP doesn't let me).
I'm not sure if I can install Lineage OS thru adb because it asks for MIUI firmware to be installed. If I wipe everything, I loose the firmware.
Althought, I haven't wiped the internal storage in I while, since I have all the roms and zips, there. I'll try with that.
Make "Format Data" - Yes after that wipe data, system, cache and vendor. Copy zips to storage and dont sideload.
Flash fw 9.6.27, los17 and opengapps. Must work.
The way these roms work you basically have to have previously installed a corresponding version of MIUI first. For instance, if you want to install los16 then you must have previously been running MIUI 10. If you want to install los17 then you need to install MIUI 11 first. I guess Xiaomi does some weird stuff to the internal storage between flashes. If you're stuck in a bootloop the easiest thing to do is use the official MiFlash tool to flash the ROM version of your choice. MiFlash uses fastboot rom files. This site has the best catalog of roms

MAKE SURE YOU UNTICK "Clean and lock" at the bottom or else you will relock your bootloader!

[SOLVED] Stuck on CN Roms only!!

I was on crDroid, and other aosp ROMs for a month, but yesterday I wanted to test MIUI 12, so I flashed CN Closed Beta miui 12, I installed miui_PHOENIX_20.5.28_ef1f0d470e_10.0! It doesn't include Gapps so I decided to install xiaomi.eu build. It stuck on Bootanimation. I couldn't go back to TWRP and install something else cause TWRP won't show any storage or data partition ( It's happening now again and again after I install any AOSP or MIUI ROM) To recover from bootloop I downloaded fastboot image (phoenix_images_V11.0.15.0.QGHCNXM) to flash with XiaomiFlash Tool. Successfully unbricking the device, I try to install EU build again but it won't just boot. And also I can't use twrp data partition again cause it somehow breaks all the partitions. I have to reflash fastboot image. I even tried to go back on Indian Build of POCO X2 but due to anti-rollback check it fails again and again. I can't boot any AOSP rom, tried a few, nor even EU builds or Indian Builds. I can only Install MIUI 12 Closed Beta or MIUI 11 stable both Chinese roms. What Went wrong and how to install AOSP roms again or flash EU builds?

After you install xiaomi.eu rom, if you are stuck at boot logo, try this
1. flash twrp again with fastboot mode and boot into twrp
2. format data partition ( you lose all data)
3. now flash xiaomi.eu rom again and reboot

When I flash any rom now, it stucks to bootloop and I can't format or flash anything on top of that, I have to flash fastboot images of Chinese Rom 11.0.15 through xiaomiflashtool, all rooms are stuck to bootanimation except miui12 CN ROM.

Remove the first few lines from the flash all.bat which does not begin with'fastboot' to overcome ARB.

mi mix 3 - stuck on twrp bootloop ?

Ok so fresh out the box, unlocked bootloader etc.
I have twrp running finally, and have gone through following the steps format/wipe etc.
flashed several differant roms to just try and get one to boot. every reboot it will automatically go into twrp..
I have tried Arrow, Lineage, pixel experience and all of them result in the same mi bootloop and automatically booting twrp.
im following the arrow install instructions :
New build required to be on MIUI Q firmware part (Recommended V12.0.1.0).
Use TWRP.
Make FULL WIPE (system/vendor/data/dalvik/cache) and FORMAT DATA - YES.
Flash ROM (link in first post)
Flash gapps, if need for VANILLA buildtype.
Reboot
when i flash the Xiaomi eu 12.0.1.0 as suggested... twrp bootloop.
so i am sitting with a device going between Mi screen and recovery only. I have no system ?
Can someone point me in the right direction.
Hi,
I do a full wipe like the instruction. After that I install the Xiaomi.eu v12 build. When that is installed immediately install Arrow 11 without formatting (and gapps if you choose the VANILLA build). I then don't install magisk or any other root solution and I reboot the device. This worked for me when I installed LineageOS and when I installed Arrow 10 and now 11.
So I first install Xiaomi and than the ROM I want without a format or reboot between them. If you are booted in the rom I then look into a root solution and install that if you want atleast.

Question TWRP - No OS installed while an OS is installed?

I moved to ArrowOS 12 yesterday and today I decided to flash a custom kernel but TWRP doesn't open internal storage because there is no OS installed but I have ArrowOS installed. How can I fix this?
You have to option:
1. Turn off encryption and factory reset your phone
2. Install a recovery that can decrypt Android 12 (but afaik, none is available yet)
use this https://orangefox.download/tr-TR/device/vayu
orangefox works like a charm with AICP16
When things get messed up this the solution of all problems
1 fastboot mode
2 install latest fastboot ROM
3 install twrp
4 put your memorycard
Wipe all
Flash whatever in ur memorycard
Wipe data
Reboot

Flashing LineageOS 18.1 after using LOS 19.1 results in fastboot loop

Hello there,
I have some sort of a problem (although my phone is still working.. yet)
I recently flashed my OnePlus 6 with LineageOS 19.1 (coming from OxygenOS 11.1.2.2).
I flashed "copy_partitions.zip" first and then the official LineageOS 19.1 ROM without GApps,
but because I wanted to use some features, which needed at least the presence of Google Services, I flashed the "LineageOS for microG" (19.1) ROM.
Which worked like a charm.. besides I was very unhappy because of the lack of customization regarding color-theming and the changes made to the QuickSettings of Android 12 in general..
So I thought I could clean flash LineageOS 18.1 / ("Lineage for microG") to get the old theming back..
So what I did was installing the official custom LineageOS recovery from 18.1 (because microG had none for 18.1),
hit "Factory Reset" and afterwards applied the Lineage 18.1 zip over adb.
A message "Update package is older than the current build, expected a build newer than timestamp [...] but package has timestamp [...] and downgrade not allowed" along with the Question to install anyway appeared right after sideloading it to the phone.
I decided to hit "Yes" because I don't needed to backup any data from the phone and wanted to wipe clean anyways... (which I thought I did with "Factory Reset)
So I installed and afterwards rebooted to recovery to flash Magisk aswell..
After rebooting to system then, the phone entered the fastboot loop.
No matter what I do, it still doesn't boot to system after installing 18.1 from LineageOS recovery (also tried with the newest microG recovery from 19.1).
I also known you would wipe system, cache and data (and maybe vendor aswell) prior to a clean custom ROM flash (via TWRP)..
So flashed TWRP 3.6.2 (latest) for enchilada and tried to wipe my system, vendor and cache, but didn't manage to find "system" or "cache" on the advanced wipe menu, so I formatted and wiped data and wiped vendor.
Then installed LOS 18.1 via TWRP also..
But same problem - fastboot only.
also after my TWRP journey, sometimes when flashing the LOS recovery and booting it, a message appears on screen:
Failed to bind mount /mnt/staging/emulated/media/0 [...]
The thing is, I can install LOS 19.1 (microG) without any problems and it would boot,
but I just want to downgrade and I found no guide for my device (or any with ramdisk and A/B slots)..
And there is also no link to MSMDownloadTools for Android 10 (because onepluscommunityserver.com is offline)..
The links from this post and some other posts I found aren't working anymore..
- Is there a way to go back to LineageOS 18.1? What would be the intended way (not doing a downgrade but flashing clean)?
- Is my phone softbricked somehow? (partitions broken or corrupt?)
- Is it a firmware problem?
(I am on security patch from November 2021)
But I don't know what exactly happened to my firmware when flashing Lineage 19.1 over OOS 11.1.2.2
This is my first post as it is my first Android phone/flashing experience in general.. so I hope I got everything right from all I found out until now..
I really appreciate any help / even if it is just saying I messed up and need to go EDL mode... (if it truly is the case)
Thanks in advance.
You people are great!
