Question Why all ROMS need custom recoveries ? - Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G (peux)/POCO X4 Pro 5G (veux)

Hi, why all ROMS need custom recoveries ?
Why not making fastboot flashable images like the Xiaomi.eu ROM ?
I mean like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Everything can be installed with command lines, the Twrp/O.F simplifies this.
The TWRP or O.F does not require a pc to install roms.
Not all roms only have img files to flash (AOSP/GSI).
A PC+a cable=2 additional errors possible.
Xiaomi EU rom provides roms in Fastboot.zip because either there is no TWRP yet or it is not 100% functional.
From the moment there is a functional TWRP, the roms will be in Zip and installable via OTA / TWRP.

Thanks for your answer, but rn, the only unofficial TWRP available for this device has no source code released, so we can't know what's inside the image.
Maybe it's infected.

That's why all Xiaomi Eu roms (VEUXG/VEUX) are in Fastboot.zip.

[REQ]Dump of the preinstalled rom

With the release of the kernel sources, it seems that the 3 AndroidOne devices all share the same kernel and internals,
with only the rom branding and chassis they're in being different.
If this is the case, then the roms themselves are built by goog and thusly OTAs handled directly by them.
What it also implies is that the 3 devices might be able to share roms and kernels as they already appear to share kernel sources.
What I need:
Dump of /system
If the rom prompted for an OTA at initial setup
Dump of /oem
Bootloader version
Baseband version

The very old aosp based p beta?
You should install the latest miui global dev rom.
Then install LOS on top of that

Aosp 5.1 Review for Huawei Y3 Lua U-22 - Tested by Myself

Hello World!
I have used Huawei Lua U-22 for somedays & flashed some CR there. I have used 3 rom from this post - Custom Roms For Huawei Y3II. Please kindly go to that post to get the download links.
Here, I am only posting some screenshots of those rom because main post didn't include them. Hope you'll 'njoy!
Aosp 5.1​Android Open Source Project - AOSP. Another clean and responsive rom for Y3 Lua U-22. The only downside of this rom I think is the ringtone section. Existing ringtones are not that good. Consider using from other source.
I can't remember, but the rom is probably not pre-rooted. I have flashed magisk to gain root access.

Hi,
First of all, I am really sorry I didn't see you commented. Too late :/
Anyway, unfortunately I couldn't find any thread which will guide you how to install the rom. And there is a reason for this - installing a rom is self explanatory, and very easy. You'll need a custom recovery like TWRP. Then keep the rom file in your phone storage, boot the device in recovery mode, select the rom, & press flash. After finishing the installation, reboot device, you're done!
Here are some video for you to understand the situation:
Before that, you have to root your device of course, and unlock the bootloader. Here's a video for that too, if you didn't unlock your bootloader already:
BTW, don't try to install any rom that is not made for Huawei Y3 Lua U22. It may permanently brick your device. I tried to cross port a rom & flash it myself, and guess what? My device is no more :')
Have a good day!

Cant get Magisk to work on Huawei device

Hi guys.
Im having trouble trying to install Magisk on my Huawei Y7 2018 and im hopping you help me to find the issue. First of all ive read the official guide and followed every step, the issue i have is when you have to patch the recovery.img and boot.img files,but i found none of those in my OEM rom file. Reading a few threads on this forum it seems that Huawei doesnt have those exact files on their roms but i havent found wich ones are the equivalents to be patched.

Thank you!. I will try it and report back.
Well, no luck. The phone keeps reeboting after i flash the patched file.
how did you patch the RAMKDISK.img? did you preserve encryption?
Well here's how i managed to make it work.
1 - Installing a custom recovery, in this case TWRP 3.2 (ministryofsolutions has a tutorial on his website about this)
2 - Donwloading the latest Magisk apk from the official website.
3 - Renaming the .apk file to a .zip file, this is necesary in order to make it flashable through TWRP.
4 - After flashing Magisk from recovery reboot the phone and open the app, if it ask for an update tap the allow button.
5 - After the update is done check the status and it should display the installed version.
6 - Check the root status with root checker.
7 - Done !
Thanks to everyone for the help.
the installation instructions I have linked does not involve TWRP

Question TWRP on MIUI14

Hey! i just updated my phone to MIUI14 xiaomi.eu ROM on fastboot. Thing is there is an update available only via recovery but i can't seem to get TWRP working for me. There are several versions out there and so far none of them are working. Is there any specific version for MIUI 14 ?

Hybrid ROMs: The End of Recovery/Fastboot ROMs
During this Chinese New Year holidays break from building ROMs, we could put some time into research and have developed a new format for our ROMs. We are proud to announce the Hybrid ROMs. Why "Hybrid"? Well, because those ROMs are both Recovery ROMs and Fastboot ROMs, all in the same package...

For the moment, only the Weekly is hybrid.
Install the TWRP then go to the updater (OTA).
TWRP:
Installation.
Boot version

REC version
