How to install Oreo ROM?

Hi! I'm really humbly sorry, I'm new to this stuff, so I have to ask you...
I have a Galaxy S8+ Duos (SM-GD955FD). I bricked it once or twice trying to root it. So I had to flash a sammobile.com ROM...
Now this is done, I have a successfully rooted phone with with the Baseband version G955FXU1AQH3 and the irritating "security notice" (since I was not able to install Magisk, and the NotifyClean app doesn't work either).
I would like to flash the latest Oreo and root it. I also heard good things about the Oreo ROM by alexega.
So: I'm on AQH3 rooted. What can I do?
Thank you for your patience.

If wou want to install stock ROM you must follow this instructions: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/guide-how-to-flash-crap-using-odin-t3748555. Bear in mind that if you install stock due to security issues you can't unlock OEM for 7 days after flashing (you must not reboot your phone for 170 hours).
If wou want to flash a custom rom you must have TWRP installed, move the zip rom to your SD card and just flash it from recovery. Make sure to format data before flashing.

Nice, thank you. So I have just flashed the thing with the sammobile.com ROM again (so, no root) and updated to the oroginal firmware Oreo following your link (I worked parallel).
I was just about to root Oreo and was googling for a way... But did I get you right? I should not reboot my phone for 170 hours now?!? So, no rooting until next week?!
Edit: I have developer options enabled and the "OEM unlock" switch is on (it says: "Bootloader is already unlocked.""). So... confusion...

Excuse me, are you currently on Nougat 7.0? If so, you obviously have OEM unlock option available. The problem is in the new 8.0 stock rom, wich sets RMM state to pre-normal preventing you to flash TWRP and to get root in OREO. To skip that you can directly flash a custom rom with 8.0.- Otherwise (stock rom) you must wait 7 days with no phone reboot to get ridd of that pre-normal issue and then flash TWRP and flash Magisk.

Just rooted the new Oreo ROM with TWRP. Works just fine, thank you.
So, what are the advantages of the Oreo ROM by alexega compared to XXU1CRAP?

Do you need a custom rom to not have the RMM lock anymore? A stock with BlackMesa's RMM START .zip is not right?

There's no need to have a custom rom, if you flash the fix in stock RMM lock gets killed everytime.

First you have to install OREO and wait 7 days without reseting your phone. After 170 hours, you get OEM unlock in developer options and you will be able to flasf TWRP. After flashing TWRP you flash RMM-State_Bypass_Mesa and that´s all.

Lost twrp after miui 10 update

Hi, i have a problem with twrp. Lately i bought a Redmi Note 6 Pro, i waited the normal 15 days to unlock the bootloader, then I unlocked it and i flashed twrp, root, etc... The problem is that after the first update i made (MIUI 10 stable update) i lost root (which i think it's normal) and the twrp. TWRP recovery got overwritten by the default xiaomi recovery. How can i fix this? Because it's impossible to install twrp back after every update, i would have to format it evey time because of the locked internal storage! I'll leave some info below.
Ah and btw i tryed again yesterday with a new update and it happened again, so it wasn't just a one-time thing.
Phone: Redmi Note 6 Pro 4+64
MIUI version: MIUI Global 10.2 | Stable | 10.2.2.0(OEKMIXM) last version, i updated yesterday
TWRP used: unofficial twrp, the official one isn't out yet for my device. If it's needed i can send the iso or something

Used this recovery

Does it work for you or you lose it as well after update? Thank you anyway

Will this twrp work for latest version??

I lost root and TWRP after updating too.

I heard that everytime you update your phone, it replaces the TWRP and disable root. That's one of the reasons I will wait more before root my phone.

Guys i'm working hard to find a solution. If i find it i'll tell you. Please do the same if you find something

I think you'll need to do everything again (install TWRP and root).

The bad part isn't re-installing twrp or root. It's that every time you do that you MUST format the data because insthead you wouldn't have access to internal storage from twrp, and that makes it impossible to flash anything

That's indeed the worst part. Better to wait for a recovery that can decrypt internal storage permanently.

After flashing stock miui you have to flash disable vm cause the stock miui will replace the recovery with the stock one!

You all should learn about these topics more or stop experimenting with half knowledge.
When you are installing/ flashing any full MIUI ROM, you are also flashing the stock recovery that comes with MIUI. So it's natural that TWRP will get replaced.
So after flashing a new ROM, always flash TWRP and Lazyflasher too.
Always install/ flash a new ROM via TWRP and not through the System Updater app.
Hope this helped.

Flash TWRP then flash this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-t3817389

for euopean country you should use EU rom, weekly OTA update and flashed by TWRP automatically,
only Magisk must be flashed again for root,
maybe for chinese developer rom it is the same procedure ?

Lost root

The same thing happened to me with my S2 redmi device, I lost the recovery and root access, can someone help me with root in Miui 10.2?

Where can we find the MIUI updates to flash through TWRP?

Trying my 1st custom ROM

Any recommendation on which ROM should i use for my 1st custom ROM? Is the pixel experience any good? i mean is there any major issues about this ROM? Is it also safe to flash it on my current MIUI version whihc is MIUI 10.2.2.0 PDGMIXM its the global version. I already unlocked my bootloader and currently searching for tutorials on how to install TWRP and which one should I install in this device. Many thanks in advance if anyone responds on this post.

It depends on how many costumizations you prefer. LineageOS and Pixel Experience do not have many extra features, while e.g. RR, Arrow and Havoc do. I experienced very few bugs in PE and LOS, but I haven't tried other custom roms. LOS has very clear installation instructions, which are also applicable to most other custom roms: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/polaris/install
We have an official TWRP version; you can find the instructions and download link on https://twrp.me.

Thanks
I just want to try a new look on my phone. Ill install those roms soon, is it ok to back up this current miui im using if i dont like the rom i installed right?

Yes, but some users (including me) reported failures of restoring full rom backups. So make sure you also use some alternative backup (e.g. the Migrate app) and save your backup files on an external device.

Use a full backup with TWRP. It worked for me every time. However there is a bug with phone protection (unlock code or fingerprint) - and you have to delete it manually in TWRP file manager.
But everything works fine.

Pretty much easier is removing any PIN or fingerprint authorization before doing the backup.

Not sure I get you. My apologies. Removing any PIN, fingerprint authorization before doing twrp backup is inevitable unless you want to modify your backup file the way somebody above described.

btw, does unlocking the bootloader affects my phone from getting OTA? im still using the stock rom now MIUI 10.2.2.0 PDGMIXM.

You can still receive OTA updates on the unlocked bootloader as long as you are using official Mi rom and you do not have twrp installed. TWRP may break OTA updates. At best case an OTA will just replace your twrp with stock recovery. Root also should not affect OTA updates. So no problem getting ota even if bootloader is unlocked as far as I am aware of

I'm in the same case , I had a mi8 and installed a pixel experience and my brother took it and since he use s and until now everything works well he even knows that I changed the rom and that's not miui Lol
Do I bought I used mix 2s and I think I'm gonna install the lineage is because I want security patches and updates on the rom

Installing Magisk on stock global miui

Since kernel releases are yet to be published " a total duck move by xiaomi ?" I wanted to keep on using the stock ROM without changing anything but miui is too cringy for me to live with it, so I need to put the ol'rooting hat once again
My question is.. did any one actually root it using magisk and can still get ota , or you would need to uninstall magisk then update then get magisk again?
Also what happens to TWRP , can it coexist with miui ?
I had a previous xiaomi phone (mido) but tbh I never even thought of using the miui and switched to RR once I unlocked the bootloader ?

You can get ota with magisk but updating will rewrite boot and recovery so you'll need to re-root.

FYI, I'm still on stock EU v12.0.3.0 with mauronofrio TWRP and rooted with Magisk.
I got two OTAs already, the last with v12.0.4.0 -- and it even tried to apply one of them while I wasn't looking but it obviously failed, since there's no stock recovery.

What if I reflash the stock recovery.img after rooting, that might get the ota working ?
Yes I know I would still have to flash twrp and magisk again after it
I'll test it on my old phone first , hope it can work as a reference for one last time of it's miserable life

I thought the same, but then I'm not keen on moving to v12.0.4.0 right now, so I didn't budge. Let us know how it goes. :good:

Still the same, just flash the root file and reboot it up... And also install magisk manager to have root management
Orange Fox is much more recommended for our Poco by ManoloRey for installing AOSP ROMS...

Issue updating from Chinese to Euro firmware

I am having a big issue. I have a Poco F2 Pro, and I'm changing the firmware to the euro version. For some odd reason I'm on V12.1.3.0.RJKCNXM, Android version of 11. That's the Chinese official firmware I believe.
Don't ask me why. I must have botched the intial set up. Anyway, want to upgrade the to the latest euro firmware/android version and upgrade to a better rom and finally get rid of this mi-bloat. Sadly, it says I need the flash tool and I do have access to it, but it's on a roommates computer and I don't like depending on other people. Is it possible that I can somehow use the TWRP I have to upload the firmware vs using the flash tool? Please let me know thank you!!!

You will need a pc to flash the TWRP.
Flashing a TWRP takes 10 seconds.
With Miflash 10 minutes.
But with the twrp you have to format the data and then put the pc rom on the phone (usb OTG solution).

Thank you. I actually have a TWRP installed called "LR. TEAM" I think it's a Chinese port of TWRP translated back to English. It's called TWRP 3.4.1b-0328.
I can't flash anything from there though, as I can't decrypt the storage and I don't know how to remove encryption.
With that TWRP do you think I might be able to flash the Euro Firmware without Miflash? I have ADB and fastboot via my chromebook. Thanks for all your help.

EEA was specifically designed for EU countries .(RGPD,GDPR).
The EEA ROM doesn't have a Beta program.
Global updates arrive before.
AOSP roms are based on global version.
