Android Version and ROMs - General Questions and Answers

Hello guys,
I want to flash a ROM, not a custom one it's a stock firmware, TWRP is installed. The ROM I want to flash is for my Device and Model but it's for android version 12 and I am currently running android 11. So my question is, do I flash like normal ? Meaning, I run the flash_all batch file or do I have to update android manually ?
Specifically I am trying to flash Xiaomi's MIUI V13.0.12.0SJDEUXM and I currently have V12.5.4.0RJDEUXM. I would just update using the OEM but for some reason the update is not available for me, my brother has the exact same phone as me (Xiaomi Mi 10T) and he got the update (he updated with the OEM to Version V13.0.12.0SJDEUXM, that's why I am flashing it since I know it works). I also have a Redmi Note 9 that also got the update.
Googling it came up really empty and I couldn't find this question bein asked anywhere (except a 2016 stackoverflow that propably has outdated information)
I also wanted to root the device so I will be installing Magisk V25.2 and I just want to make sure it will work with the updated version (I did my own research and I am pretty sure, just wanted to be 100%)
Thank you all!

You can tap a few times on miui logo ( when checking updates) and you should have activated some settings in right corner, and click on choose package
Settings --> About Phone --> Miui Version --> Tap a few times on miui logo and check right up corner --> Choose update package --> and select your *recovery* rom with latest version like your brother phone's

OK perfect thanks ! And this will also install android 12 as well ? From what I understand I need to download it and copy it to my phone storage first right ?
Also I can't really understand the difference between recovery rom and fastboot rom. I read somewhere that the fastboot rom is "considered a more advanced version of the recovery ROM.", is that true ?

So you download your android 12 recovery rom, and choose it from the miui update settings, maybe it will work, it no, try flashing the fastboot rom with miflashtool.
Yea yea, download the recovery rom, and put in like download folder, and then... Settings --> About Phone --> Miui Version --> tap few times on miui logo and you know what to do next

Ok great thanks! I will give it a try !

Install MIUI 10 without unlocking bootloader?

Good morning to all, as it has been read in the title, there is some way to install miui 10 without unlocking bootloader, since I could not do it because I can not register my phone number to xiaomi mi account.

This is just a copy past flashing method, internal updater worked for me, I'm now on MIUI 10, just backup your data
Its worked for me to. Botloader locked and miui 10. You need to create a folder named downloaded_rom and put the .ZIP in this folder. Before, Go to updater app , ... Menu and choose the update package. The update erase ALL tour data, do a backup first

I updated to the newest global beta. Simply downloaded it and used the system updater and pointed it to the zip file I downloaded and it did the rest.
Will this newest global beta get OTA updates as new versions are released? That's my big question.
Thanks!

Hi, don't worry you'll get OTA for new updates.
But I still don't know if we'll have an OTA to switch from last beta to first MIUI 10 Stable global release.
It worked for me. Thanks for the tips.

That's what keeps me away from going to Miui 10 so far. I dont want to restore my files two times (going to beta and going back to stable). If I could be sure that I would get a normal ota Update from beta to stable I would also try out the Beta

Is it eventually possible to go back to the global stable in the same way?

Probably no, normally only via fastboot method, but for that, you will need to unlock the bootloader first, so request the unlock permission now, because there is a 360h waiting time
Does installing the latest beta break any functionality? Safety net is primarily what I'm worried about. I like my Google Pay.

Answered my own question. Google Pay does not work. That's so odd given you don't need to unlock your bootloader to install this beta.

Hi,
No guide needed. I did this many times.
Flash the official global via TWRP if rooted, flash TWRP installer after reboot into TWRP, flash MAGISK, reboot all good.
NOT ROOTED, update via phone update software setting in settings menu(THREE DOT MENU, top right ) find your official downloaded zip and update.
I am not rooted. I tried the phone update software, it says the global version is older than my current EU version. I downloaded the 1.0.0.1 one and i am on EU 1.0.0.1

hi, my OnePlus 7T is not rooted, so when I "update via phone update software setting in settings menu(THREE DOT MENU, top right ) find your official downloaded zip and update"
Will this way wipe my phone`s data? There are more than 100 APPs installed in my phone, so a little worried.

Hi,
Doing an official, update via the software settings on your phone wont erase your data.

Twrp doesn't work as mount points are now changed to system_root. Now m20 is a A/B partitioned device.

That's why I wasn't able to boot when I installed TWRP.
Does this mean we won't have TWRP at all or we have to wait for further development of TWRP.
Thank You
I have been using OneUI 2.0 for a day and half, along the way I've found few bugs.
1. Split Screen mode completely destroys navigation gestures, recents and the overall UI lags.( Needs restart to fix)
2. Task Changer and Nice Shot don't work at all.
3. Usual Android 10 issue, third party launcher isn't usable with gestures.
If I find more I'll add them
Thank You

Did you have unlocked bootloader? You can't do it in stock recovery.
Tap several times in in the number of miui version, in the image to be exactly and a messaje will appear about the activate additional update features, then try the three dots again and you will see chose the update package.
Youre welcome

This way will work with OTA package only. Most probably he got the recovery package, so it will not work. He has to search for an OTA package on MIUI 12 telegram or so, to put it in internal storage in a folder called "donwloaded_rom" (if it not exist he can creat it) and then he can follow your advice.

Hello,
You should be able to go to this link and select to opt out of the beta to return to Android 11. Follow the instructions since they do tell you how to go back in the event you don't like the beta:
Android Beta Program
Android Beta Program allows you to enroll your Android device for beta releases.

Apparently you aren't the only one.. Assuming you have a Pixel 3, you can adb sideload the downgrade zip to go back to android 11. I am not sure if this is the right one for you but basically you can reboot into stock recovery then choose the option to update via adb or whatever it says then on PC use adb to sideload the zip file located here:
https://ota.googlezip.net/packages/ota-api/package/3fa0973459c2c433be2482c613776949fd4f0d72.zip
This should be the downgrade zip for Pixel 3 to go from Android 12 Beta to Android 11.
You cannot flash anything in Fastboot sicne I assume being VZW model your bootloader is locked and since you can't get into the OS to unlock it anyways then the only option you have is to adb sideload the zip in stock recovery.
