Hi everyone
I've bought a second hand Mi 4C. The original owner had installed TWRP and LineageOS on the device.
I wanted to go back to MIUI, so I used the existing TWRP to do the usual wipes and then flash:
xiaomi.eu_multi_MI4c_V8.1.3.0.LXKCNDI_v8-5.1.zip
The ROM seems to flash correctly, however after I reboot the device it just boots back into TWRP. Basically, there's no way to boot the device "normally", it always boots to recovery!
Thinking maybe the rom was at fault, I wiped again and flashed the latest LineageOS, since I knew that was working before.
However, I then discovered that even with LineageOS the problem remained: device always starts in recovery mode!!!
How can I solve this? I'm new to Xiaomi devices, so maybe I'm missing something. I've always had Nexus phones and I've never seen a problem like this in years of flashing custom roms.
I would point torwards locked bootloader.
Maybe the volume button is stuck?
Try to go in fastboot mode and execute this:
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
If "device unlocked: False " you have to unlock bootloader or follow this guide http://en.miui.com/thread-335614-1-1.html
Hi? Did you solve this problem? My phone also keeps booting in TWRP. What i did was, get to Fastboot and typed "fastboot continue" .
Got the same. Bootloader unlocked.
i have the same issue.
I had TWRP 3.0.3-0 with the Resurrection Remix ROM. After booting into recovery and make a factory default wipe, started to boot always in recovery (TWRP). Doesn't matter if I force to reboot into system. Tried to flash the latest version of RR and nothing changed. Flashed TWRP v3.0.2 and touch screen didn't work.
Then I decided to start from the beginning, flashing the stock libra_images_6.1.7_20151221.0000.11_5.1_cn, unlock the bootloader ( fastboot oem device-info gaves me "true" unlocked), flashed TWRP 3.0.3-0, and till this point all it worked flawlessly. When I flashed the latest RR, then started the boot loop into recovery.
Any idea? Thank you very much
Latest RR 5.8.2 by AndopaX and LineageOS by HnT build with new Miui N bootloader..
You need to change TWRP base Miui N also Fw Update from Miui N..
You will get bootloop when install that roms into old Miui LP bootloader..

Hey ! Good job ! I tried building my own TWRP today but then noticed someone already did it ! Does encryption work ? I cant seem to decrypt the partition after flashing your TWRP.
EDIT : Couldn't wait, ended up formatting with encryption disabled via a zip + magisk
I've then proceeded to flash some GSI for Android 9 (even tried Q Beta 3) and if we want 9.0 one day, some heavy work will be needed : Cellular doesn't work; other than that, it all seems fine to me, camera is only 12mpx, front is 13mpx. Haven't tested more, i'm back to stock
EDIT 2: After comparing camera from stock and gsi, GSI wins easily. The camera is not as slow as stock.
Are there any decent ROMs yet for this phone? LineageOS would be fantastic.
@kgoerbig not to my knowledge. Maybe I'll try porting a 9.0 GSI soon.
I'm not sure if this is helpful or not, but Umidigi posts stock ROM on there forum. Can ROMs be ported based on there code? Or is it more complicated then that?

I have tested LineageOS 16.0 GSI Android 9.0 (and many others ...) and it works well, even GSM and Camera.
The only thing I cannot have is a complete root : I install Magisk 19.3 correctly, but applications cannot get root permission (Titanium Backup cannot have su permission)

If you use the stock boot.img with an GSI system image, it will not boot, you must first flash Magisk.zip before reboot!
It will disable dm-verity, and you can boot after.
If it continue reboot in bootloader mode, use spflashtool to flash a stock rom and all will be right
Or if you have a TWRP backup, restore all partitions except boot/recovery/cache/system/data and you can boot
@ dreambo Can you make a writeup of properly unlocking the bootloader/rooting? Or did you use these methods?

I should be receiving my Umidigi One Max in a day or so, and do not want to bork anything up! I have SPflash installed both on a Win10 laptop, and on a Ubuntu Linux machine.

You do not need to unlock you phone, mine is rooted with Magisk and have TWRP installed without unlock bootloader.
Just use spflashtool to flash a stock rom, but replace the recovery by TWRP and the boot.img by magisk_patched.img one.
Here how I do exactly:
1- in my running stock rom, I install MagiskManager and install Magisk by choosing the last option (patch existing boot.img)
2- give it your stock boot.img (extracted from stock rom) and it create for you /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched.img
3- use this to replace your stock boot.img and use also TWRP.img to replace stock recovery.img and flash the whole rom with SPFlashTool
Can you backup with TWRP with a locked bootloader? Isn't write access blocked with a locked bootloader?

Downloadable from: https://community.umidigi.com/forum.php?mod=forumdisplay&fid=211
UMIDIGI One Max V1.0

I have used the European one, UMIDIGI One Max E V1.0
So I just received my One Max today. I was able to patch the boot image, and root the phone. I also, installed TWRP, but I'm running into an issue. From TWRP, I formatted with a normal wipe, It asked "Do you want to do this, it wipes data encryption Etc". I typed yes, and it did it's thing. Rebooted. Setup my basic settings on the phone. I rebooted back into TWRP, and it immediatly asked for a "decryption" password. It also won't allow me to mount internal partitions or sdcard. This even after I rooted via a patched boot file, and verified root access while booted in android (with root verify app). What am I doing wrong for TWRP to gain access to storage?
"Couldn't wait, ended up formatting with encryption disabled via a zip + magisk"
How did you format without encryption? I try to format from TWRP, type 'yes' , to verify, and encryption is still active. I'd like to disable encryption, so that I can properly backup everything from TWRP.

Search in xda forum a zip that you can flash with TWRP before installing the Magisk zip from TWRP.
its name is disable_dm_verity????.zip, it disable in the boot.img the encryption.
After that format the data partition (format and not wipe, it's important!) and reboot normally, and your data partition will not be encrypted

I eventually found all the correct files to remove encryption. I also installed AOSP. I'm kind of torn between the stock and AOSP. AOSP has better performance, but one annoying aspect is that I cannot find anywhere in the settings to switch the navigation buttons in AOSP (Back button is on the far left, I like it on the right side). Seems trivial, but it's annoying. I can now fully backup & restore in TWRP, which makes life a lot easier.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/umidigi-one-max-custom-rom-modding-t3942521
This Rom
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases
Do a complete backup of stock from TWRP onto microsd or USB first! System, data, modem, nvram partitions etc. That way you can restore from TWRP, and not lose os, data, or nvram (IMEI).
Specifically, system-arm64-aonly-gapps-su.img.xz
1. Download and extract file you downloaded, onto your phone.
2. Do a format (type yes)
3. Install from TWRP as "image".
Code:
#include "std_disclaimer.h"

Whats Working:
Probably everything.
Whats not Working:
Everything should work. If you find bug then please report it here: https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/bug_tracker/issues
Steps to flash:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img (WARNING: This will delete all your data on device so have a backup before doing anything)
fastboot flash oem NameOfOEMFile.img
You only need to flash userdata.img when you are going from Stock Firmware to AOSP or when you get issues with future builds.

Is this issue with the ROM ? Or is the phone running stock firmware ?
If its stock then please move the discussion to questions and answers in 10 Plus forum.
If this is issue with AOSP then please flash stock firmware to check if its working on stock firmware.
I flashed and was able to boot up ok. Initially the phone would only boot up to a blank screen. You could see the volume change when hit vol+ or vol-, the background would remain black. Pulling the SD card and Sim out cause a reboot automatically that seemed to resolve this. The connection to wifi and lte connects and unexpectedly drops. This happens over and over, I cannot make calls or use sms . The browser works fine with the limited LTE time and wifi. There is a vzwinternet apn, I cannot edit them. I wasn't sure if here or where to post. The link to github doest work. The rom is fine otherwise and easily root with magisk 20.1

Link to github is fixed. Thank you for that.
I can say that the ROM worked just fine for me. I switched to different ROM few months ago now and this ROM has no support now. It is very likely you installed wrong OEM image. Please install the latest one for 4.9 kernel.
Because we have started working on 4.14 and well its still in alpha and those 4.14 images there are for us to test it properly.
The WiFi dropping out is known bug and sadly we do not have a fix for it yet.
Please open a bug report on that github repo and explain the issue and post logcat and dmesg files there.
EDIT: Ah my bad. It seems like i already pointed to the correct OEM image. Interesting that calls dont work.
Yo, i've installed the ROM and tried to flash gapps but they didn't install. Is there a way to flash them?

You will have to boot TWRP and flash it trough TWRP as AOSP recovery doesnt support flashing openGapps.
Booting up TWRP can be a bit tricky so well good luck.

Booting into TWRP after the first boot into AOSP is kinda impossible - as far as I know the only way to get TWRP to boot for this device is first to flash the stock ROM -> wait for it to boot completely -> go to bootloader through the ADB command (key combination results in stuck TWRP logo) -> then boot into TWRP. Getting there through the key combination results in black screen. TWRP is in unofficial state - it works only on the stock ROM and only with "fastboot boot twrp.img", it cannot be flashed yet. I'm using this version - https://forum.xda-developers.com/10-plus/development/recovery-twrp-3-3-1-0-unofficial-t3954147
Installing it is possible, however the touchscreen stops working in TWRP when booting the installed version.
Any suggestions on that?

Unfortunately no. SODP does not officially support openGapps and this rom isnt maintained anymore as we are working on 10.
Also twrp for our device will never be flashable image as its useless to do so. We do not have recovery partition and thus have to have recovery in boot image and we build AOSP with stock recovery as its almost impossible to build it with TWRP using AOSP sources. And my guess is that TWRP wont get any better until it supports android 10 which is when we can finally start working on it.
Also on twrp i was able to boot to twrp using this ROM. It was tricky and im guessing the times i did boot it it was just luck.
So so far its a mess.

Damn that's sad, thanks for the info tho
Xperia i4213 problems with sound after flash. No touch sounds. No sound in youtube. The sound appears for 15 seconds after clicking on the flashlight icon. please help fix
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
