Flashed it with TWRP unofficial (v6). Had loads of bootloops, failed flashes etc. I think it had to do with encryption. After doing a complete wipe to remove the encryption and flashing it over ADB (No MTP in v6) it works like a charm.
Have some issues with random app crashes.
- Facebook crashes randomly
- Facebook messenger crashes when someone links a Facebook video in chat
- My Reddit app (Joey) crashes every x minutes.
All quite annoying, but facebook lite and messenger lite work. Other reddit apps seem to be more or less stable as well.
Everything else so far runs buttersmooth.

Yeah! First custom non-treble!
Many thanks for bring it to us

Well it's available for weeks now... It's the xiaomi.eu rom, they just don't post their releases on xda

ok guys i used polaris twrp and it's ok i did format data before flash the rom and booted at first time.

Ok so I flashed successfully this rom after doing a full wipe (system, data...). Without wiping system, I was stuck on MI logo with dots.
I flashed Magisk and I'm rooted without problem, but the TWRP recovery doesn't stay.
I tried to flash the recovery many times using these commands (before and after being rooted), using the TWRP for Polaris linked by xiaomi.eu, but the Mi fastboot takes over everytime I try to boot TWRP.
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot boot twrp.img
Am I missing something?
I can start TWRP using those ADB fastboot commands of course, but not using just power down/power as usual.

mod please delete

Got Miui 10 8.6.20 last night, got 8.6.18 early yesterday.

Can anyone state if miui 10 supports the following:
- 1080p 120fps
- 1080p 60fps
- 4k 60fps
- Camera 2 api

Which version of TWRP are you using? You will need to use the Yellow theme one for flashing roms and the Blue theme version for flashing Magisk.

You guys are talking about two different versions of miui. Eu Rom hast weekly builds. China beta Rom has daily builds. So I assume when talking in this thread, the topic should be the EU Rom and not an update of Chinese version. This is confusing to some inexperienced users.

So you're able to boot on TWRP without ADB ?
Did you just flashed TWRP via ADB ?
I'm using the "yellow" version also (even though it's slow, it work without problem)

I don't think this is the Xiaomi EU version.
So you are talking of another rom.
Or maybe I'm wrong.

No OS installed in TWRP

Hi guys
I was trying some of custom rom on my OP6 and I wanted to go back to Oxygen OS. So i did a clean installation with system wipe and i flashed the last full OTA update. But since i can't boot to system anymore, TWRP always displays that there is no OS installed despite the fact that I've tried several rom . Is this the first time it's done this to me how can I fix it?

The best suggestion I can give you is to flash stock oos with TWRP, reboot to stock recovery, without flashing anything else, wipe data from stock recovery and startup system.. if it is working you can flash back TWRP and magisk if you need it
Just be careful because at your point is easy to lose all of your stored data

If you wipe system, then flash oos ROM, TWRP will think there is no os. You can just ignore and boot.

Wiping system then flashing any time will make twrp display "no os installed" it does this because it hasn't created files for twrp to check if you have a ton installed. Flashing twrp then rebooting to twrp fixes it.

Reboot to stock recovery?

Hi, need a little bit of support, since I'm new to this as well. I was in a working OOS open beta 25/28, but then I think I flashed the wrong zip (OOS 9.0.9?), and I was not able to boot to system. It kept going to "bootloader unlocked" screen and custom recovery. Currently in TWRP blu_spark 3.3.1-x v. 9.109, and it's showing me no OS installed when I attempt to reboot. I haven't rebooted to system yet.
All the folders in my /sdcard is gibberish... if I try to push a file to it, it says "Required key not available." I did remove all security/passwords from my phone before doing any updates/backups.
I completed a wipe cache/dalvik/system via TWRP, and flashed the OOS OTA stable Android 10 zip downloaded directly from OnePlus Support. Considering this situation, do you still think it's safe for me to reboot to system? Then how do I get to stock recovery from there--is that by holding down the buttons?

No, your internal storage Is like trash cause the last rom you flashed has older security patch than oos10. Your device Is now encrypted and wont boot to system. I Guess you have to erase all via MSN tool or fastboot signed rom. Even if you wiped what mentioned above, your problem still be the data.

Fastboot method?

Thank you for replying. I'm relieved that you know of a couple methods to try.
Is using "Format Data" in TWRP an option for dealing with the encryption??
For the MSN tool, can I use this one? Tried looking around, but it's unclear. "[TOOL] MsmDownloadTool V4.0 International (Oxygen OS 5.1.5)" https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...wnloadtool-v4-0-international-t3798892/page10
I would be more comfortable with using fastboot, but am I at any risk of having lost fastboot, or can I just turn off my device from TWRP right now and hold down the buttons to get there? Afraid to move out of TWRP right now, in case I can't get back. I do have twrp-3.3.1-18-enchilada-Q-mauronofrio.img that I can run from fastboot if needed.
By "signed rom," do you mean I can simply flash one of the zips here from fastboot? "[OnePlus 6][ROM][OTA][Oxygen OS] Mirrors for official Oxygen OS ROMs and OTA updates" https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/oneplus-6-mirrors-official-oxygen-os-t3792244

I hardbricked my device about 10 times and i was able to recovery It even from a blank screen. Btw format data Will erase all your data but also the internal storage. About fastboot dont be afraid, go under twrp reboot section and reboot to bootloader. Then go under xda op6 guide section and search for mirrors for fastboot rom guide by Mauronofrio. He pushed my ass out the **** a lot of time.
P.s. Sorry but I dunno how to paste a link via xda app. Yes, ik! It's a vert newbie thing.

That's awesome, I'm starting to grasp how much of a genius Mauronofrio is, after so many people referencing his work.
In his guide, he says, "These ROMs can't be used to update or downgrade your phone but just to restore your phone, so don't use them to come back to oreo or to update from oreo to pie." This may be a dumb question, but how do I know which zip/OOS version to flash, when I don't have a functioning OS on my phone?

I talked with Mauronofrio in pm and he said me that you could solve your issue simply flash the ROM you want and format data after flash that one. Remember that your internal will be wiped but it would happen in any scenario we talked.

That worked! And starstruck that you were able to check that with him. I flashed Mauronofrio's fastboot ROM for 10.3.2 and it rebooted (WOW). I clicked through the Google setup pages and checked that my data and wifi worked.
I then went back into fastboot, booted M's twrp img, fomatted data, and then installed twrp-3.3.1-x_blu_spark_v9.109_op6.zip, rebooted into recovery.
Then I think I made a mistake, because I installed Magisk-v20.4.zip. It succeeded, but now I can't boot into system anymore. Is it too late to flash the 10.3.2 boot.img?

Someone posted a patched boot.img for 10.3.2, so now I'm rooted without TWRP. Priorities. Now all I need is for special characters and emojis to work Will keep an eye on other threads.
I'm learning a lot, thanks so much for all your help. You pointed me in the right direction when I was not sure what the hell to do!

Flashing from CN version to Global questions

Hey guys,
Im quite new to android and all that comes with it regarding flashing roms. Now i've had the mi mix 3 cn version since october and been wanting to flash to the global rom ever since. So far i have unlocked the bootloader only on my Mix 3. Now Ive started doing some experimenting with an old one plus 1 device of mine before i fully try it on my mix 3 (and **** it up) and so far been able to unlock bootloader and install twrp. But it seems i cant get through the rooting part because every time i download supersu.zip (on my mac) it doesnt actually show as a zip file. So when i copy/paste it into the oneplus directory and try to install through twrp, basically nothing happens because its not a zip file. Is the solution as simple as: " i should just download the same file using Windows??"
Magisk:
in order to root my my Mix 3 and Oneplus 1 i need to install and run Magisk. But after installing it and opening it, it always says 'Magisk is not installed" and under that "Magisk Manager installed".
Question 1: How to fix this.....
Question 2: Do i need to root my Mix 3 in order to flash the global rom?
Currently running MIUI 10.2 Stable 10.2.2.0(PEECNXM)
Many thanks!

Safari unzips after downloading. You can disable it in the settings I think.

You do not need to root your device to flash it to the Global ROM. Unless you need root for something specific, I would suggest forgetting about TWRP and root and using fastboot to flash to the Global ROM. You can find the fastboot flashing guide, here. Click on fastboot, read the instructions, download the correct fastboot image for the Mi Mix 3, unzip it, boot your device into fastboot, connect it via USB to a Windows based machine, and run the flash_all.bat. The device will reboot when finished.

Thanks!

Ok thanks! Will definitly check it out. However i would like to get twrp working as well even just for the sake of it. But every time after i do the "reboot flash recovery rocovery.img" cmd it keeps booting into either the normal OS or into fastboot mode. Ive read about installing the force disable encryption zip file but how do i install that if i cant boot into twrp?

Which TWRP are you flashing? When I was attempting to root my Chinese Mi Mix 3 running the GLobal Stable ROM, it was very hit and miss getting TWRP to stick. I couldn't get fastboot reboot-recovery to work for me so I had to power the device off after flashing TWRP and then hold Volume Up and Power until it vibrates again to get it into TWRP.
To root in that particular situation (Chinese device/Global ROM), you need to flash this region hiding thing right after you flash root. My device kept bootlooping so I gave up and used fastboot to debloat the ROM, which took a few minutes compared to the almost hour I spent on trying to get TWRP to stick and try to get the device rooted. This is one of my many gripes with Magisk root and how inferior it is to Chainfire's discontinued implementation.

Final stage!
Ok so my last post can be ignored as i was finally able to boot into twrp and also installed magisk so now my device is rooted.
I have now uploaded MIMIX3GLOBAL_V10.2.2.0 PEEMIXM into my phones directory.
Now before i install it thru twrp.... Do i need to wipe/erase/clean my phone first? Or can i just install it without doing so?
Many thanks in advance!

You can dirty flash it. It's just a minor update. The current beta will bring some new features though, once it is released in the next stable version.

ok fair enough. However I have a situation now... after installing the process goes into a loop after selection china as region. The last small message it gives is "find device quit unexpectedly" and then it loops for 5 minutes untill it boots into recovery mode. Here i can only choose boot system (which will go into the same loop again), wipe data, or connect to MIUI assistent...
What did i do wrong?? Did i flash the wrong rom?

When cross-flashing, clean/factory reset is always the way to go. With TWRP though, there seems to be some sort of region options not changing issue. There are a few ways to work around it I personally never bothered with, but I have flashed two Chinese devices via fastboot with the Global Stable ROM and haven't ran into the region issue at all.

ok fair enough. However I have a situation now... after installing the process goes into a loop after selection china as region. The last small message it gives is "find device quit unexpectedly" and then it loops for 5 minutes untill it boots into recovery mode. Here i can only choose boot system (which will go into the same loop again), wipe data, or connect to MIUI assistent...
What did i do wrong?? Did i flash the wrong rom?

Fastboot is the bootloader. Once you boot your device into the bootloader (Volume Down + Power), you can use ADB through the command prompt to flash TWRP or just flash the Global ROM properly. This thread on it is still very relevant and useful.

Got it!

Facing ROM installation problems and unable to flash magisk

Hello
Need kelp here
Problem 1:
When I try to install any Android 10 based ROM on my Violet, it ends up with an error 7 saying either " are you installing onto the correct device" or sometimes "requires firmware version #*#*#* even though I flash the latest Chinese firmware everytime I flash a ROM.
Obviously, I'm able to bypass this problem by deleting the 2 assert lines in it's script using note++
I also flash fcrypt disabler after ROM flashing.
But still OTA updates keep failing and leads to boot loops
Problem 2:
OK,
now am in ROM, I try to flash magisk now, that leads to bootloop too
So can't flash root
Any solution?
Also I use orangefox recovery

ROM installers that have that kind of assert are usually looking for a specific firmware version. Just flashing "the latest Chinese firmware" does not mean that you are flashing the specific version that the ROM's installer is looking for.

Your intervention, which I just queried above, could easily cause that. Secondly, there is a specific ROM (which will remain nameless) which forces you to use its own recovery for everything - including and especially OTA updates - and if you try using another recovery, heaven help you. If you have that ROM, dump it!

Ask your ROM dev. Or dump the ROM.

Like I said, I'm facing the same kind of problems on all kind of ROMs that I flash
I don't know if I've messed up my Violet but it seems to be like a permanent issue.
I flash fcrypt 'cause one day, when i was without my senses, I flashed a ROM without wiping the previous ROM's encrypted storage and I think maybe tht it was since tht day on tht I started to face these issue

For this go to File Manager, select data then change the file system from f2fs to ext4. Then the error 7 issue will get solved.
Note: This will format all internal data.
Go ahead! All the Best! Happy Flashing!!:laugh:

Flash 9.9.3 firmware version .. most of the roms require that specific version. Then flash rom ... Also flash magisk after first boot not right after you flash rom this might help !

Sorta soft-locked K30 Pro Zoom

Hi guys, I'm at my wits end with my flashing experience currently.
I just unlocked my K30 PZ, and was messing around with manuelbianco's TWRP, and I seem to have effectively softlocked my phone
I'm pretty tired and have no idea how I ended up here, so all I can really post is what I can observe.
It's constantly stuck in bootloop, and while I have access via fastboot as well as LR-TEAM TWRP(MB doesnt work, boots to logo then goes to black screen), nothing I do seems to be able to break my bootloop.
Attempting to flash MIUI via miflash results in the attempt getting stuck on super.img, while flashing by XiaoMiTool also has the same effect, with the added exit code 1.
Also noteworthy is that according to twrp, "/vendor", "/product" and "/odm" all fail to mount due to invalid arguement, which I have no idea about.
I've attempted to manually mount them via twrp, and try and flash stock miui, however there is no change in the behavior.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Which ROM did you want to flash?

I grabbed the latest Poco F2 Pro zip from the mi community, since I couldn't find any K30 Pro ROMs

Do you want a miui stock rom or eu roms or aosp roms?

My end goal is an AOSP rom like arrowOS or evolutionX.
I tried flashing arrowOS after everything had happened. It seems to flash normally, but on reboot it's shows the POCO logo then proceeds to bootloop

Dont relock your bootloader(otherwise the phone is dead)
1/flash this twrp with fasboot command https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=17248734326145679747
2/Twrp wipe format data write yes,reboot twrp
3/otg the rom or push in internal storage
4/flash rom(firmware)
5/format data again reboot twrp
6/flash rom(with the op instructions)

Final update before I sleep
I've followed the steps, and managed to get arrowOS to boot screen
But I waited 20 mins for initial boot, and was stuck at the loading screen
Formatted data again to retry, and am now letting it run for as long as I can, but so far I'm 15 mins in now and have not seen anything more than the initial boot loading screen.
Thanks for the help, cheers

So I formatted data, wiped all except OTG and then flashed the xiaomi.eu rom
Phone simply goes back into 2 bootloops before booting into twrp
Also to note, in advanced wipe system partition is missing in twrp. There is an option to mount, but it never shows up in wipe.
