Firmware MIUI 8.8.30 for XIAOMI Mi5

Yesterday XIAOMI Mi5 has get a new update.
About TWRP aborts the update, because firmware MIUI 8.8.30 is required as a minimum requirement.
However, I find these not to download - does anyone have a link?
Regards & Thanks
Same here, does anyone can provide the download link ? Thank you
same here and the last update that worked has some bugs.
Apps crashing, battery drains etc.
Was hoping the new update would have fixed these issues but alas
I cannot get TWRP to flash giving the same error about MIUI 8.8.30

This is to all of you, you can't apply stock OTA updates on rooted devices or devices that have TWRP installed. Stock OTA updates require an unmodified system partition(meaning no root, no Xposed, no root mods of any kind).
OTA updates also require stock recovery, not TWRP.
You can all try flashing any stock firmware for your device then wait for the update notification then try the update process.
To those of you that have TWRP installed, this is a good example of why it is so important to create a nandroid backup of your stock ROM before you modify anything on the device. If you had that nandroid backup, you could restore the backup, then flash a copy of your stock recovery, then unroot the device, then wait for the update notification, then you'd be able to apply the current update. Then after applying the update, root the device again and flash TWRP again, then create a new nandroid backup of the updated stock ROM and delete the older backup from before the update.

I am running Lineage OS 15.1 when it applies the nightly update I get this error.
So what you are saying is they updated to MIUI 10 which as what I can see updates to MIUI 8.8.30 which includes new code
that TWRP and Lineage cannot install over. Also there is this Xiaomi's anti rollback that is installed as well so I am guessing
either live with the last Lineage OS update or install stock MIUI and call it day.

Oh, you mean a nightly update of LOS?
Maybe the MIUI update contained a bootloader update and the new builds of LOS were built to work with the new bootloader?

Interesting I encountered the same problem. Lineage Cannont update because 8.8.30 stock ROM Miui is required.
Simply download latest available miui firmware. Via TWRP install it and then immediately install latest LineageOS.
Here is the link to the new MIUI

Help! Need to downgrade from Pie back to Oreo

Is it possible to downgrade back to Oreo?
I know there is ARB, but I read that some users are able to get back to 8.1 from 9.0
Everytime I try to flash an 8.1 Rom (Global Stable 10.2.2.0) via Fastboot, I brick my Phone and can only flash a PIE rom (Global Stable 10.3.2.0) to make it work again.
If I am missing something and it is somehow possible, any help would be highly appreciated.
You can try to flash oreo fastboot rom with mi authorized account. Maybe it works, i have tried and tested with RN5(whyred), not tried with RN6(tulip) yet.
As both devices shares same chipset, Hopefully it works
I got it working again. I just flashed Global Stable 10.3.2.0 with Android Pie via fastboot. After that, I installed TWRP and installed Global Stable 10.2.2.0 with Android 8.1 via Recovery and Wiped my phone.
I have no idea why it is working with twrp and not with fastboot, but whatever. I now have my Android 8.1 back even with all these ARB stuff :good:

Android 11 Red Magic Rom [FLASHGUIDE]

Hello again!
I saw a post where leipnacht provides a link to the public beta of Android R. (I let you here a drive link to download it faster).
I flashed it and it's working properly on my device. There is some bugs, but the most part of the things works without problems (Personally, I didn't face any bug itself (only a low noise with the vibration by the moment), but there are some comments in the page of bbs nubia about some problems with other things.
The previous conditions from where I update to Android R Red Magic Rom were using a GSI in the Android 10 chinese version of the rom. So, the steps I followed are:
1. In the recovery, wipe data, cache and dalvik. Also, format data.
2. Flash in the Android 10 TWRP the Android R rom.
3. Flash this NikGapps Package , Magisk Debug and DFE (Encrypt disabler in order to be able decrypt data in the recovery). I also flashed Permissive_5 but I think there is no need to do it.
4. Boot and enjoy.
I will attach all the files and some screenshots for those who want to take a see to the rom. Personally, I feel no changes in this version, but, as always, the performance is great and it runs really smooth. It's a beta version, so I hope more changes in the future.
P.D. In order to get safetynet passing, I used HideProps Config magisk module. There is no big issues with it, and everything is fixable
P.d.2. This rom has antiroll-back active, so if you want to go back to previous version, you will have to use the unbrick tool

Thanks for the update.
I have been planning to upgrade my Red Magic 3 to Android 10 (CN rom) for quite a while now. And its good to know A11 beta has arrived too.
Have you tried fps games on this device like pubg mobile, cod etc? Do they work properly ?
Also, I haven't even unlocked bootloader on my device. Can you proivde a better guide, to completely switch from global rom (stock) to A11 (beta) or A10 CN rom (stable).
Need links / guide for following items -
- Unlock bootloader
- Link of working twrp and steps to flash (should I change recovery after installing this beta?)
- Gapps and Magisk link (As I can't run this device without Google services).
It will be a huge help for me to get started.
Take your time with it (no rush).
Thanks in advance!!!

Hey!
No problem at all. I let you here two guides to migrate to the cn rom and even a gsi
Be careful and aware about what you are going to do, It's not specially difficult but you have to get ready all the files and tools in case of brick or bootloops.
Enjoy the flashing!

Thanks for the links. I am planning to update to stable A10 version for now.
I have few questions it be a huge help you could clear some of my doubts -
1. After unlocking bootloader I have to install TWRP (for gapps to run). So should I install TWRP after flashing CN rom ? or before ?
I am asking this because I read in some guides that only CN rom is custom recovery capable.
2. If you have run A10 stables before, does OTA updates require to be installed via TWRP only ?
Will I loose Gapps and Root access if I updated the ota directly from settings? And will every rom flash with TWRP clear my installed apps ?
Thanks in advance for helping!!. ??

Well, I will go in order:
1. You have to flash first in the stock recovery the Android 10 CN rom and then flash the custom recovery. There is no twrp avaible for global rom. Once in the custom recovery, you can flash Gapps and Magisk (in android 10 there is no need of DFE file, the recovery is able to decrypt data properly.
2. You don't need to get worried about OTAs, there is no a constant software update work by nubia for this device, but in case of update, you would flash the rom from the offcial page, with magisk and gapps again and be sure you keep the custom recovery.

Oh! Didn't expect that. I just post this for Red Magic 3 device users. I don't know how RM3S actually works. Have you tried the unbrick tool from chinese version? Or just flashing the global rom from recovery is enough?
Wait is there a chinese unbrick tool cn. version for red magic can you provide me a link.. unbrick tool 3/3s.global by jerry is not working anymore if you got brick by android 11 beta rom...

Let's see. Here is a link for Red Magic 3S unbrick tool. Download the non-eu ones.
If you have a Red Magic 3 with Red Magic 3s software, I will provide you the link to the other unbrick tool.
Also, you can try flashing the global rom from the stock recovery included in the package of the A11 rom that you have download.

So then, It's not a problem of the unbrick tool, that is actually working properly. The thing is that you didn't know how to do a correct process to migrate from cm rom to global...
The first thing you should do is reboot the phone into fastboot mode (power+vol. Down). Then, connect the phone to the PC and type the next commands in the cmd:
Code:
fastboot devices
in order to see if your device is being recognized
Code:
fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX629J
to unlock the bootloader
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
in order to make your phone able to boot with a modified software. In the moment you will enter this command, you will see a screen advising you about your data (it'll be erased once you accept to unlock flashing).
After that, you can reboot your phone, that will show you an screen advising you that the bootloader is open. Accept and continue without problems.
Tell me if you have been able to make your phone boot.

Unable to update Arrow OS latest updates from May manually in TWRP

Hello community!
Hope you are doing awesome, I am trying to install specifically the update from the 18 th of May (latest while doing this post) so when I downloaded it I go to TWRP and this is what I done
1)Place my pin and decrypt the device
2) Perform a format Data > Yes
3) Wipe cache, dalvik, internal
4) Restart to Recovery
5) Install the update all seems to be fine and reboot to system
The Phone boots to Poco screen and then vibrates and then gets me back to TWRP. I manage one time to get it worked and got in the config page from the customer rom a UI unresponsive message and is unable to connect to my Wifi so I have to use the Data 4G to make it work and I rolledback to April version of Arrow OS that seems to be the one working now.
The Miui stock that I am using to install the customer Rom is surya_global_images_V12.0.8.0.QJGMIXM_20210222.0000.00_10.0_global
Could you please provide some hints and tips what I am doing wrong so I can get this updates up to date? Because I love the Arrow OS Rom and I want to keep the firmware updated correclty on my side.
Thank you!
I am very interested, too. Got the same problem. After latest OTA-Update I'm stuck in a recovery bootloop as well.
Sadly even the attempt to flash back an older version or a MIUI Stock rom is failing for me now. Always recovery bootloop, even after a successfull flash without errors (and format data of course) .
Is the stock rom or an older arrow os version working for you, after the 18th May update?
@koelbche I was able to make a stock based on the stock fw shown on my post. then I installed old version of arrow OS April update and it was restarting bootloop.
I had to delete data, factory reset and select de wipe options so super clean flash and manage to boot it up.
I am waiting for any updates from others that manage to install the updates because I was not able to do it.
Flash ArrowOS custom recovery for ota update to work. After update you can flash recovery back to TWRP for root and backup, your choice.
I was able to make it worked in another post.
All I have to do was to update the version of the stock with Oss vendor (I think) and then all worked like a charm!.
Thanks for the replies though

Question Updating ROM from Chinese (13.0.8) to EU rom

Hi everyone . Couple of weeks ago I received my 12S Ultra, and started with unlocking process. Phone is currently unlocked and I was looking for threads which show the process of updating it to latest EU rom. I've seen this https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-miui-thor-xiaomi-eu-rom-for-xiaomi-12s-ultra.4481389/ thread and wanted to ask if this is up to date? I'd like to install MIUI 14 also if that is possible.
Another list of questions, would updates after flashing be working or would I need to manually update ROM as the releases come, and also are there any significant issues on MIUI 14 or should I go with MIUI 13?
Thanks in advance.
2 versions of rom, Weekly or stable. The weekly is a hybrid rom and for the moment the stable is installed with the TWRP.
Both receive updates via OTA.

Thanks for quick reply, okay so if I understood you correctly after flashing I can just update it directly on the phone when update comes via OTA. For the TWRP installation, so I can't just follow the tutorial and execute the first install script (which formats data) correct?
Just trying to wrap my head around this since I've flash global ROM before but without TWRP. Once more thanks for answering.

Installing TWRP does not require data formatting.
But for the first installation of a Xiaomi EU rom it is advisable to format the data with TWRP or use the first install.bat script depending on the version of the rom.
