Hi!
First, I have no experience at flashing roms.
Second, I’m proud of myself getting as far as installing twrp.
After some installation guide on the net I managed to wipe/format and flash different rooms but non of them work.
I tried pixel expierence and lineageos 17.1 as well happy for lineage and magistrates for both.
The installation process seems to be without errors but still, I get into bootloop.
Mi logo shows, disqppears and on and on and on...
Now i got twrp 3.2.3-0402 FOR mix 3 —by wzsx150
I know, there are some threads about this but non help.
Can do teamviewer/FaceTime/Skype
I’m sad and desperate.
Thanks in advance
You likely need to wipe your vendor. It's a common problem on this phone. You can install the EU rom then format data again and then install your desired rom. A simple wiping of the vendor could work. But I believe the tarp you're using doesn't have it. Try using skyhook recovery. It is posted on this forum.
Maybe change twrp with the last

Have you tried flashing the xiaomi.eu rom? This comes packaged with partitions that some of the others don't have. I would follow their instructions, including flashing their version of TWRP and formatting data (wiping is not sufficient, it has to be formatted), then boot without flashing anything else (Magisk, etc).

Hello, having a few issues with my LineageOS install, random reboots and bluetooth not working for calls.
So the plan was to give it a quick reinstall (keeping all data) and if that doesnt resolve the issue revert back to stock, using the Mi A1 Tool.
Could anyone point me in the direction of how to just do the LineageOS bit with keeping data, followed the guides before to get it to install but not sure how to isolate to just Lineage.
I do have the Mi A1 tool working if that can help for this bit?
Edit: And for the Mi A1 tool if I go back to stock, I can just click "Install stock rom" and let it do its thing and im done?
I'm sorry man but if you want to fix some problem on a custom ROM installation, you can't just do a quick flash and keep your data. Everyone on this forum will tell you to do a full clean install.
So you have to Flash the latest Firmware from Xiaomi through Fastboot or EDL anyway... Then do a clean install of LineageOs.
I know sometimes it's a pain to backup every time, but it's a choice you made by playing with custom ROMs.

I am fine with that, as long as I know it will work so I am thinking of just going back to stock.
Good day all,
for some time, i have been using the Mi Mix 3 CN version with Xiaomi.EU weekly Rom and i loved it.
Today, I decided to try install the Unofficial PE Rom witch can be found here (https://treble.andro.plus/pe.html)
I Followed these instructions (https://www.getdroidtips.com/pixel-experience-rom-xiaomi-mi-mix-3/)
For some reason i decided to do a full wipe ie. ;
Dalvik/ART Cache
Data
Internal Storage
Cache
System
I went to install PE ROM and upon completion, i was boot-looping and rebooting into TWRP Recovery 3.2.3-1205 for MIX 3 --by wzsx150.
In a panic, i tried reinstalling the weekly ROM again by doing the same steps above, and behold i am still getting the same problem.
Would someone please help me out here as for this is my only phone and need to get it back up and running.
Thanks in advance.

Going from one rom to another requires you to remove encryption so format data

1. Flash the China dev vendor.img, or the full China Dev ROM, or Xiaomi EU (works ok with PE)
2. Install PE zip
3. Quick Wipe and format 'yes' in twrp
4. Flash Magisk
That's how I do it for all ROMs and GSI and works fine.
You'll get the China dev vendor IMG from the link on post one of the PE thread. You can flash it with twrp.
Always recommend to use the vendor IMG from China Dev instead of EU, especially with the GSI ROMs.
are you on global?
In twrp: factory reset then format data (hit yes to accept).
Reboot phone and reenter twrp.
Connect to computer and transfer xiaomi.eu rom onto root of device (I suspect any would work but I happen to have used 10.2.2.0.PEECNXM_v10-9 which is believe was xiaomi.eu stable release), pixel experience ROM zip and magisk-v17.3mod4mimix3
Flash the xiaomi.eu rom first then without rebooting or any formatting or factory resetting immediately flash the PE ROM zip and then magisk 17.3.
Once those three files are flashed via twrp go to wipe and the factory reset then format data again
this always works for me
thanks to @homer.ali
Works for the Mi Mix 3 coming from MIUI 11 EU

Thank you so much for these instructions. Coming from Global MIUI 11, I tried to figure out how to install PE for the last 2 days and every time I ended up being stuck in a bootloop. So far, I tried to install Resurrection Remix, Lineage OS and Evolution X without success.
Your instructions solved this issue. BTW: the only working version of TWRP for me was twrp-3.2.3-8-perseus-mauronofrio. After flashing this version, I was able to install the latest TWRP.
this always works for me

Do you (or anyone else in this thread) know whether these steps [install order: xiaomi.eu, rom, magisk | then: factory reset + wipe data] work for other custom roms on the Mi Mix 3 as well? >> Short answer: no. Tried it for the above roms. I always end up in TWRP (or bootloop) after flashing either way (the official or the on I 've tried here).
@chromanju did you solve this problem?
Hi, I have OP6 since day one. Unlocked, with blu_spark TWRP, rooted with Magisk. Didn't have any problems. Yesterday I decided to try some custom rom and I hit a wall. Can't make Wi-Fi working - tried NitrogenOS and ViperOS. As I don't have a lot of experience with A/B partitions I tried few step by step instructions I was able to find here. Tried with latest stable, latest beta, different versions of TWRP. Problem is not related to Magisk or Gapps - wifi is not working and can't do anything about it.
At my first try I forgot to reflash twrp and I lost access to internal memory (pin in twrp), so I flashed full stock (https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6-t3796665) and started from this - nothing.
Tried latest beta flashed through TWRP - same effect.
I tried to decrypt everything with dm-verity fix - everything is fine, except wifi.
I've done 10-15 attemps to flash everything since yesterday.
Can somebody write a step by step instruction how to flash something correctly, that's fight for honor at this point:fingers-crossed:? I have no idea what I am doing wrong or what I am missing I flashed plenty of phones and never had problems like this.
On stock(stable and beta) wi-fi is working like it should, olny custom roms are making a problem.

Use the unbrick tool. It will force write all your partitions.

Last thing I did was flash-all-partitions.bat from image mentioned in my post. I gave up idea of custom rom for now. But I'll try unbrick tool on my next attempt.

hello i was upgrading from stock 9.0.7 to 9.0.9, my bootloader is unlocked and twrp is a permanent one, the phone is also rooted. i wiped system then flashed the 9.0.9 then flashed the 4.0.4 twrp, rebooted into twrp, flashed latest magisk, rebooted into twrp and then pressed reboot into system. the phone is encrypted. the booting animation has been on for 20-30 minutes at this point. is it a bootloop? why what did i do wrong? thanks

Try formatting data them reboot system. That should get you booted up.
Never wipe system or vendor on these devices and always when flashing a rom flash TWRP installer zip or you won't have twrp because of where recovery is located which is same place as boot.img and it has to be installed when flashing a rom or update to a rom or it won't be present.
How I flash OOS on my once T-Mobile now converted international/global OnePlus 6t.
Boot TWRP
Flash OOS global 10.3.6
Flash TWRP installer
Flash finalize
Format data
Reboot system
How I install a rom on my converted OnePlus 6t. This installation process varies depending on whether or not whatever rom I'm installing comes with gapps and or TWRP and of course you don't want to install global OOS on another model device. Since I converted my T-Mobile OnePlus 6t using guide and msm tool I now use global or international OnePlus 6t roms, firmware... Example Pixel Experience rom installation:
Boot TWRP
Flash OOS 10.3.6 global from repo xda thread
Flash Pixel Experience rom
Flash TWRP installer zip
Flash finalize zip
Format data
Reboot system.
Start to set up device then at some point enable developer options and usb debugging and doable any lock screen and boot twrp and flash magisk for root and reboot system. That is how I install a rom that has gapps but not twrp included in rom zip. Finalize can he found with a quick search on xda. It copies firmware to other slot on your AB partition device so that you don't have to. Saves 5-6 minutes and works great.
Edit
What you could have done is just flash your updated OOS , flash TWRP installer zip, reboot recovery, flash magisk, reboot system. That's what I would have done updating OOS ..
Hope this helps.

Thank you very much for your reply. Unfortunately I couldn't wait for that long and I had to do something right then. After some attempts I also lost my twrp and was left without a functioning recovery, so I had to look for help and some people helped me go through unbricking through the msm tool.
The thing is i just really want to always flash clean so that the phone doesn't lag and works properly, I had no idea you shouldn't wipe system... The guide that I followed said that when updating oxygen manually you have to wipe system so I thought nothing would go wrong. I still don't know what caused a bootloop since that guide was a verified one. Thanks a lot for your help. So if I'm reading it correctly, you have to do the wipes after you've installed the system, not before?

Quit a few pretty well known developers here on xda (AOSiP op is one and there are more) say not to wipe system or vendor in their first posts of their custom rom threads. The way I describe how I install works 100% always and is the cleanest possible installation. Formatting data when installing a new rom at the end of install process does all the wiping needed to make sure nothing is left from the past and everything is clean. I used to wipe various partitions but on other devices. The install directions I use are originally from the PiXeN rom developers op. I've been flashing roms since the Nexus S days. Not saying that means anything other than I'm kinda old now. ? But that install process has never failed me once and I've flashed I'm sure hundreds of times on this device.. When I update i just flashing the updated rom over current and don't wipe anything then flashing twrp installer zip, reboot recovery flash magisk reboot system or if gapps are needed when I reboot recovery flash gapps..Unless it's a major OS update that's always worked for me.
Possibly not formatting data caused boot loop.. I know when going from OOS to AOSP rom format data is mandatory or it won't boot system.. I never flash magisk during initial flash. I always boot system first then at some point boot twrp and flash magisk. Try that next round and see if it turns out better. The whole AB partition deal made me feel like I was really old and retarded.
If I was updating OOS I would boot recovery, flash OOS, flash twrp installer zip reboot recovery, flash magisk, reboot system. Check out the finalize script xda thread. There are two here. The original person who made finalize has a thread and another user has another finalize thread. I believe in guides section of OnePlus 6t. With Android there are always more than a few ways to achieve something you know ... But what I post here is what I've been doing and I've flashed 400-500 times at least on this device.

@flash713
I totally trust you and respect anything you say and recommend me to do. Thanks a lot for all the instructions and clarification. I've been into android far less time than you — only since oneplus one. I'm extremely bad with tech but even with that phone j somehow managed to get bootloops or half-bricks ten times less than with the oneplus 6. And back then in 2015 I was way more enthusiastic: flashing twice a month loads and loads of roms. Of course it wasn't my personal achievement, I was still simply following detailed and carefully written instructions on forums on how to flash a particular rom in a particular way, but hey, at least I somehow managed it.
Now in this case I'm assuming it's the a/b partitions they've introduced that have completely changed the process and ways of flashing to the point that I stick to the guides and still get bootloops lol. That unbricking process was a huge stress for me, I don't think I'm going to touch anything in my phone for a while now. And I'm on the latest 10.3.6 oxygen so it's alright. Thank you for your help buddy

Np. My real first name is Seth. Haha. Cool name btw. I just installed OOS 10.3.7 on my 6t. I was notified of the update yesterday via oxygen updater app from play store. Good handy app to have. I would have never known 10.3.7 was out or at least not so soon if it wasn't for that app. I believe it auto notified me too. I don't remember setting it up. Android has changed soooo much you know.. I love my OnePlus 6t though. Definitely one of my most favorite devices I've ever used. What's new today is gone at some point and replaced with "better.." lol. Not always better imo anyway. Glad I could help. Feel free to message me any time. Good day to you.
I have successfully installed LineageOS what feels like a hundred times now. I followed every single piece of advice and best practice. In total frustration I gave up LineageOS and followed every single step for an OctaviOS installation. I even flashed the newest Global stock firmware successfully, just to follow every recommended step.
I boot into OctaviOS, after successful installation and...
Wi-Fi still won't turn on.
I am completely out of ideas and I have no idea what to do about it. Going back to stock and using this in production is not an option.
I have installed TWRP 3.4.0-0 By mahajant99 and every ROM flash and partition wipe, worked as expected and I never encountered a serious error. All flashes went fine and everything was done exactly step by step, as the guides recommended. Still, no Wi-Fi.
What can I do to fix this?
P.S.: Wi-Fi works through stock ROM. So no hardware issue.

To test, I followed the guide and installed this precise FW+Vendor image. Doing this, I cannot boot into a custom ROM (e.g. OctaviOS), at all. I repeated this test several times, to exclude possible installation errors. I did CLEAN flashes and installations. Still, it makes things worse. As already said, I can't even boot into the ROM.

Better just try another rom... They are all still AOSP and uses same kernel as NitrogenOS does. Better use EvoX or RR or Pixel Experience ROM... They're more polished and expect to also have great updates... Just wait for more stable Android 11 Custom Roms or just contact the OP of the OctaviOS for surya...

Even IF another ROM would work -- why doesn't this ROM work on my phone? What's so special about my phone? I have a plain brandnew POCO X3 NFC, like most others here. So why wouldn't it work? Does the firmware version have anything to do with it?
Every guide I read, explicitly recommends version "12.0.3". However, the newest version is already at version "12.0.4". Maybe this is causing the issue?

Maybe, have you also even tried installing fw 12.0.3? Because at the meantime, no developer has compiled the public kernel of poco x3 to their respective roms... They still use the kernel from the first miui rom... Idk whats really the difference on stock kernel vs the released kernel for surya because in my situation, everything works fine on installing roms. My device is surya, 6/64gb... Plain just like you... Idk why devs couldnt even fix this thing...
Sorry bro I can't help you with this, I'm just an ordinary kid being new to this stuff and have a little experience with this (still I'm a fast learner) because I only experienced much more customization on the Poco X3 than even other phones I have owned previously. I did not also learned coding (i was a rookie HTML coder past years but i forgotten it) like Java or scripts on Linux to compile and make compatible custom roms for phones... Peace
I did the following steps:
Flash "surya_global_images_V12.0.3.0.QJGMIXM_20200925.0000.00_10.0_global" with "MiFlash 2020.3.14.0".
Wipe Cache, Dalvik.
Flash "OctaviOS-v1.2-surya-20201109-2033-VANILLA-Official".
Flash "Magisk-v21.1".
Format Data.
Reboot into System.
Wi-Fi is working!!
Now only NikGapps is missing, but that is just booting into Recovery, flashing and booting back into System, so no problem here, anymore.
Thank you, @yan2xme! You say you are noob, but you had the right guess, too! Anyway, thanks for your help, I appreciate it!
P.S.: Boot-up is additionally much faster, smoother and without SystemUI crash on startup. This 12.0.4 firmware really sucks!
