My Mi Mix 2s hangs on boot screen when i try to flash the latest Xiaomi.eu ROM - Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers

Hi guys,
Don't know if anyone can assist here. I am currently on Xiaomi official developer ROM "miui MIMIX2SGlobal_9.6.27_dfd19406a5_9.0.zip", I have been trying to flash the "xiaomi.eu_multi_MIMIX2S_9.7.11p_v10-9.zip" and I keep getting stuck on the MIX boot screen (that's where it says MIX in the middle of the screen and at the bottom says powered by android with the progress dots scrolling.
I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. Can anyone assist?

The bad forum section is once. Secondly, did you do the data format because xiaomi.eu does not support encryption.

Is data format different from Data wipe?. I did a data wipe using twrp.

Never mind, I feel silly now as I entered twrp and see the big Format Data button staring me in the face :silly:
Will try again later after formating data and let you know how it goes.

Just to let you also know that a format is necessary only if you are switching from stock MIUI to a custom rom. When switching between custom roms, no need to format. Just remove your screen lock password before flashing

Problem solved with a simple format data. I am back on Xiaomi.eu now. Much prefer it, as it offers so many more features and still feels faster than the official ROMs

[FIRMWARE-ONLY][MI MIX][LITHIUM] Developer ROM Firmware

News :
Starting today, i'll just upload the firmware if it has a change in it.
So you know there's no need to update the firmware if there's no change in it, save the hassle.
Tips :
* I've added checksum file for each firmware-only files in google drive, so you guys can see what's changed on every firmware-only release.
* If you experience sim card not detected after flashing firmware, don't worry, it's normal. do this, plug out and plug in your sim card tray, and restart your device.

yep i believe the Miui10 is in Alpha and currently being tested by a closed group of users. we should see public Beta releases towards the end of June.
Im just curious if there is any difference in battery consumption to previous version of MIUI.
I've tried it a couple of days ago. There are some visual changes like new notifications panel UI, recents UI, In-call UI etc. A bit more IOS-ish as some say.
First of all, if you consider flashing it;
- You need the Raupe/Blunden twrp to flash it, other recoveries end up with error 7.
- After flashing this build; twrp will ask for a decrypt password and no password will be correct. So your internal storage won't be mounted on twrp no way to fix it at the moment.
- Magisk 16.4 is able to root it, don't know about previous ones.
- If you consider flashing other roms, you have to do factory reset(format data) to get your internal be able to mount on twrp again.
- It doesn't have google apps as it's China specific, so you need to install google apps manually by Google installer apk or there are zip files for miui 10 ported gapps which give force closes randomly.
- Can be a daily driver since all is working.
- Xposed won't work.
Other than these hick ups, it's good initial build. Fast and smooth, can't tell about battery life since I haven't used it for a long time. There are secondary releases(8.6.5) for some devices so can be around for Mix too. Cheers.

I'm willing to give this a shot, thanks for the input ??
Ok trying it now and everything seems to be working good. A little laggy at the moment so I'm just letting it set in. I was hoping the camera would've gotten updated but same old crappy camera software from previous MIUI firmware. Hopefully when they do release the final version we'll get a updated camera but all in all this is a keeper till we get updated version on here, hopefully...

Haven't tried that but I'll look into it today and report back.
---------- Post added at 04:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 PM ----------
Ok going through settings and as far as I can tell I don't see face unlock feature. I highly doubt the mix will get seeing as how old it is now, I never use it anyway on other devices so it's not a big deal to me. Everything is running very smooth and fast, I'm liking the Android P style look a lot, more than how it looks on the pixel but that's just me.

You just cancel it and internal storage will be unable to use on twrp. If you flash other things, you need to do it by an OTG.

Oh yes yes, I always use OTG just in case. Thanks for the info.
I installed it, but I keep loosing the recovery, when I reboot it goes to the Miui recovery.
Is there a way to disable the factory recovery overwriting the twrp.
Appreciate any help.
Thanks.

i think you should flash this file in twrp :
https://build.nethunter.com/android-tools/no-verity-opt-encrypt/
after that the recovery shouldn't get replaced anymore.

[solved] TWRP shows wierd file names, please help

I've been at this issue for 2 days please can any one determin what is the issue and help? (attached)
it happend right after I tried rr rom then I flashed stock miui again and tried a new clean istall but ever since twrp doesn't show files. so far I learned it is xiaomi encryption thing in vendor image.
hope you guys have sulotion
الحمدلله
I got it,
to whom may face what I severely faced, just flash a developer rom through mi flasher and then you are good to go it is as simple as that!.
may miui die forever !
What happened was your storage was encrypted. TWRP is supposed to ask for your pattern or password when it starts so it can decrypt and read it. I had that issue a couple times where it didn't ask me on some custom roms, not sure why.
Using the new unofficial resurrection remix build now, and you can disable encryption on that.
Just do a format data.

You are right. There is not really much stuff concerning the interface. Only other goodie i have seen is the customizable lock screen clock. I wonder why they mentioned this one in the change notes but did not mention the dark mode (which, i am sure, more people are interested in).
PS: Can it be they fixed the buggy auto brightness? It seems to me, as if it works better now, but i am not really sure, cause i did not use it much before.
freezes?
Hi !
Anyone else having problems with freezing phone on V10.3 versions?
Starting with V10.3.2 I had random freezes (mostly seen when updating apps), so I reverted back to V10.2.2
Now I upgraded to V10.3.3 and problems with freezes are back again.
Does anyone else have these problems or anybody knows a solution?
(freezing meens only reboot possible to get it working again)
thx
regards
I cannot root this version. Tried "fastboot flash recovery" many times but all I got is failure. Anyone?

Mmm no, I've not experienced this at all, maybe there's a corrupt app on your device? Did you try a clean install?

Thx for reply.
I did a full wipe, and when I initially updated the apps included in this ROM, I had a freeze (no other apps installed)
I do not think the problem is hardware related, because I've never seen this behaviour on V10.2...
Weird.

Which steps did you follow?
if i only use twrp (fastboot flash recovery), it gets deleted on reboot
if i inmediately reboot into twrp and isntall magisk, i get boot looped (rescue party gets me back into twrp, in this case twrp does not get deleted)
I tried unofficial 3.3.1.0 and does not work either

I downloaded with MIUI updater, rebooted to TWRP and installed ROM. Can't remember if I installed from internal storage or from OTG.
(tried a lot of things due to problems with this ROM).
If file gets deleted, you can try to copy it from /sdcard/downloaded_rom to any other folder (e.g. /sdcard) after download (and before reboot), reboot and install from there.
Afterwards I hat to install TWRP and Magisk again

Question Full Phone encryption

Hi everyone, i have a brand new Poco X3 Pro (it has just a few weeks) and of course I want to install a cool and stable ROM, cause you know MIUI is just bad and also keeps sending data back to Xiaomi servers..
Anyway I am a long time user of custom ROM since my old HTC One X+ but since I've grown up a bit I now have sensible data on my phone and i would like to use a ROM wich support FULL PHONE ENCRYPTION (never find one for my old devices)
Any suggestions? Is full phone encryption even possible on a custom ROM?
Thanks in advance for any useful answer.
UncleWalrus
Data encryption is activated by default.
On all custom ROMs? Like arrow os?

Most has data encrypted by default. Some ROMs will disable data encryption like EliteROM.
ArrowOS did not change data encryption, so by default is encrypted.
Thanks man, it's really a must have for me. I will try arrow as soon as possible.
Anyway since we are here, any ROM suggestions?

Question MIUI 13

Hi everyone,
I have a Poco X3 Pro which currently runs Xiaomi.eu 12.5.7 and I was wondering if there was any point in updating to Xiaomi.eu 13.
First I've read that there is no recovery that actually supports Android 12, therefore I was wondering if it would be troublesome for some things, and if so, for what. And which recovery should I install, I'm currently running Orangefox which I really like.
Moreover, it seems that it runs slower than Xiaomi.eu 12.5.
Finally I always have trouble migrating to a new rom because of the factory reset needed, and I don't know any viable solution to backup my data properly. I've always lost my data, and all I was managing to save was my apps (without their data's), my contacts and sms (which sometimes didn't work properly) and my photos (ish) .
I was wondering if anyone knew of a solution to backup everything needed such as apps+datas, sms+contacts+mms, pictures and videos.
I'd like to mention that I run Xiaomi.eu mainly for the mobile data tracking features, which I couldn't find in any other non-MIUI rom, and the ui and the new control center since MIUI 12.
Thanks in advance

If you have a Poco x3 pro(VAYU) and use 12.5.7 Xiaomi Eu rom(custom rom not EEA stock) you can update to 13 without losing the data because now you can flash the rom with fastboot command and you can choose between 2 scripts:
"windows_fastboot_first_install_with_data_format.bat"or
"windows_fastboot_update_rom.bat"
For the first install,it is better to format data but update work.
Backup your data with Miphone assistant,Micloud,Google.

open and extract rom with 7.zip or other

no,your rom is in android 11 not 12.
Remove security from the lock screen before flashing the rom (additional precaution) and save your data just in case.

Before formatting you can try to reset Wifi, mobile networks and bluetooth.
Settings/connect and share
Thanks I may try that, but for now I haven't had the bug again.
Also, do you know of any way to change the boot animation? I tried replacing the bootanimation.zip on my own but I can't it is read only, and even with an app such as boot animation on play store (I am rooted) it doesn't work.
I tried flashing some animation as Magisk module that I found on the Internet but nothing works

Just download a theme with a boot animation, rename the theme to zip and modify the boot animation or replace it with your own.

Either you look in the Miui store and you retrieve it on the phone or a google search.
Or here to modify if necessary:
