[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.

Can't flash Custom Recovery on Redmi S2 with MIUI 12. Need a new working guide for 2021.

Hello ! I have tried flashing custom recovery on the Redmi S2 and I have failed. The custom recovery does not stay installed or it cannot flash custom roms. I have tried latest TWRP and Orange Fox Recovery. It does not work. I need a working method for 2021. Please someone guide me. I have been flashing custom recoveries on Redmi Note 4x, Mi5, Mi6, Note 6 Pro, Galaxy Note 4, etc etc.

To make it stay, you have to root your phone immediately after flashing twrp. place the magisk zip on a external sd card then, flash the twrp and flash the magisk.zip immediately.
NOTE: You may have to perform format once to use the internal storage!

NOTE IMPORTANT: This process I will explain only do it if you are going to flash a custom ROM. I do not know if it will stay if you leave MIUI ROM. This process is the one that work for me. Also read the whole reply before trying it.
Hello, I recommend using Xiaomiabdfastboot tools, it make the process very simply.
First step once you have downloaded Xiaomiabdfastboot tools, you should download orange fox recovery from their official website.
Next transfer a copy to your phones external SD, and extract a copy of the zip to your PC, also transfer the custom ROM you are planning to flash.
Once done enter fastboot in your phone and open Xiaomiabdfastboot tools on your PC. It should recognize your phone, the go to fastboot select folder, and select the recovery.img, in the drop done menu select recovery and then flash.
After all that enter recovery mode on your phone by pressing vol +, vol - and power at the same time.
Most likely it will say encrypted if you have MIUI ROM. Ignore that and go to menu and manage partitions, there you will select data and format. After that reboot into recovery and then locate external SD and the orange fox zip that you transfered and flash that. After all that you will have a custom recovery. After that locate the custom ROM on your external SD and flash it once done, you'll have a custom recovery and ROM.

Question TWRP Bootloop after flashing ArrowOS 12.0 GAPPS for POCO X3 Pro

I was installing the custom ROM but after the flashing there was an error about "Android Rescue Party trigger!" and when i tried rebooting twrp said there was no os. How do i fix this? Is it the custom ROM that is causing this problem or is it because the custom ROM and GAPPS is combined together in a single ZIP file?

I did yesterday exactly same without any issues, with offical TWRP gapps included
Did you follow al the steps for 100%? (for me the FORMAT DATA after flash was new)
FIRST INSTALL?:
Remove any fingerprint, PIN, or password in MIUI
Unlock the bootloader
Transfer ROM to internal storage
Install any suitable recovery
Flash ROM zip file
Do a data wipe in recovery (format data)
Reboot to the system, wait, and enjoy

because twrp can't decrypt on android 12 roms right now. use the recommended recovery provided by the rom's maintainer

solution 1 format data in twrp after installing rom
solution 2 flash stock fastboot rom

easy fix : install "lazyflasher-no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip"

Question TWRP LOOP stuck Poco x 3 pro

Hello everyone sorry i'm new here and also i don't know much about rooting my device Poco X 3 pro MIUI 13.0.3 Global and Andriod 12 .. sadly i messed up i had my boatloader unlocked fo my Poco x3 pro and i have installed custom recovery TWRP then i tried to install Magisk via the TWRP recovery but it won't work mainly because the data is encrypted and the TWRP can't acess in the internal storage so i used a OTG usb but gets error unable to mount /data/media/fox/.fox note that i tried both Orangefox and twrp still same error i assume its because the device is encrypted . also decrypt doesnt work it ask for password and i even removed all my accounts and disabled all lock screen but still not working at this point i thought that downgrading from MIUI 13 to 12 will fix this since i saw all videos who had it working used MIUI 12 and here where i messed up i used XiaoMiTool V2 then clicked custom ROM and used an offecial ROM from Xiaomi website ( miui_VAYUGlobal_V12.0.6.0.RJUMIXM_eccd7da42b_11.0.zip ) the phone booted into TWRP and started installing but ofcourse got the error first unable to mount /data/media/twrp then the process continued installing all the files then phone rebooted into TWRP LOOP now im stuck into TWRP and the USB debugging is turned off now as the phone appearntly did factory reset so i cant acess XiaoMiTool V2 again and when i try to wipe data from TWRP it says unable to wipe data ... please help im stuck on TWRP loop now
**UPDATE** i tried fastboot ROM using MiFlash tool but i get error since i'm stuck on twrp fastboot menue but after few restart it finally open the normal fastboot menue with the logo of the sitting rabbit which indecade this is miui 12 tried again to fash though Mifash tool and it worked (flashing the same version miui_VAYUGlobal_V12.0.6.0.RJUMIXM_eccd7da42b_11.0.zip but this time the fastboot version not the recovery one took few minutes then got error not catch checkpoint flash is not done then it reboot into the phone menue where i can click wipe data i click that and the phone (thankfully) opened into MIUI 12 LOGO screen
... theres an easier way to actually downgrade your MIUI using a trick through your phone only without root or pc or anything by changing the ROM file name before you click reboot wish i used that since its safer and official
omg finally Magisk installed successfully now didnt need to decrypt anything
now my last question is do i need custom ROM after rooting the device ? or does magisk mean its a custom root ? sorry first time rooting and i dont know if i need to install any apps or apply any setting or should i click update my MIUI now ?

Try the newest Unofficial TWRP from nebrassy (found in his thread here on XDA)
That supports decription.
I recommend arrowOS as custom ROM.
It's one of the oldest and works pretty well.
IMHO Stock ROM from Xiaomi is untrustworthy. Who knows what spyware they included.

Same for me now I have a question first I need a guide link how to install arrowOS or any better ROM also if I do that do I need to flash Magisk again or the device will be keep the Root ?

@Haldi4803 can you post the link of the TWRP as well ? There's many threads by nebrassy and they all seem old mine is the latest official and it doesn't work on miui 13 , I also heard of crdroid and derpfest ROMs for Poco x3 pro but I think they overheat much ? I didn't test so I'm just asking also what's the way to install a new ROM it seem little bit complicated but the ArrowOs thread doesn't explain all the steps in detail because I think it's for pro users I read on Google that there's way more steps to install a ROM

TWRP:

Installation guide for Arrow OS:
Instructions
FIRST INSTALL?:
Remove any fingerprint, PIN, or password in MIUI
Unlock the bootloader

There are decent picture guides here on xda on how to unlock bootloader.
After bootloader is unlocked you can simply install TWRP via fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.
Detailed instructions here: https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomipocox3pro.html
After you have installed a ROM. and gapps you can simply reboot and use the rom.
Whenever you need root you can reboot into recovery and install magisk.
