I have the xiaomi.eu rom.
I used TWRP2.x to flash:
1. miui_MINotePro_6.6.17_603d96bfe6_5.1.zip
2. superSU
3. boot loop!
tried booting into recovery: no recovery anymore, MI logo boot loop!
So i did:
1. unlocked my phone with MiFlashUnlock
2. used fastboot, flashed TWRP3.0
3. flashed miui_MINotePro_6.6.17_603d96bfe6_5.1.zip again
4. flashed superSU
5. boot loop!
finally:
1. fastboot, flashed TWRP3.0 again
2. used TWRP3.0 to flash the old xiaomi.eu dev rom
3. boot OK
does anyone know how to flash MIUI 8 when not being on an original MIUI Dev rom?

i know. i flashed the xiaomi.eu miui 8 rom aftereards and it's fine.
but i would prefer the chinese developer rom. the original developer rom allows to buy paid themes, while the xiaomi.eu rom only provides free themes in the theme store.

Impressions from the new Rom? Battery life?

If you have unlocked your bootloader, use directly MI flash in fastboot mode with fastboot rom.

I have flashed 5.11.26 via fastboot like on a guide on en.miui and it worked but the bootloader won't get unlocked. Can I flash Miui 8 and don't care about boot loader cause I don't want to put custom ROM or will I need to do unlocking even to flash Miui 8?

Nope, I didn't try. Before I've unlocked my bootloader via the form on miui.com, I couldn't get the official ROM to boot, as soon as I flashed gapps + supersu. So I flashed the xiaomi.eu ROM which contains all gapps in the ROM already. But yeah, I would prefer to use the original ROM, since paid themes are only available for the official version, plus it contains the Mi Store with all the pirated apps.

So, did you get back to dev?
I have succeeded in flashing Miui 8 over an old version of Miui 7 then I installed gapps with an en.miui tuto but now I have problems installing superSu to fully root the phone and use Titanium to restore everything I had.
Any advice.?
Note if you try to unlock bootloader: it worked for me only after getting Miui 8.

don't bother with china rom, too much bloatware, location probably not working, chinsese functions not disabled. Use the xiaomi.eu rom, it's much better, it's the china dev rom but transformed into a global rom.

Don't tell what you don't know...
"probably"...
Word that indicates how reliable it's all you're saying.
Location works, "your" bloatwares deactivated with the simple native root of rom.
Use it before denigrate.

ho it seem that you have no clue about the differences (except languages and gapps) between chinese, global and xiaomi.eu rom,. have fun with the rom

I prefer the original chinese rom, it's less bugged, has the chinese mi store and the full theme store (i have mi credits and also use paid themes). but i'm on xiaomi.eu since miui8 came out. i'm just too lazy nowadays to bother with my devices for more than 1 hour, and this tinkering can take hours and hours. if xiaomi will not release an SD820 or SD821 device with 2K screen and at least 6" i will be out soon, but i will miss miui so damn much

They say it will be 5.5 inches I would also prefer 5.7-5.8 inches at least

Android Clean ROM

Hi guys,
is it possible to root the phone and install clean Android version without miui? If not, is there any estimate when would it be possible?

You don't actually need to root your phone to install a "clean version of android". You will however need a unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery (TWRP)
The best and to my knowledge only custom rom for the mi max 2 is linageOS 14.1 https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max-2/development/linageos-14-1-mi-max-2-t3634864
this closely resembles a stock android experience

thank for the answer, maybe I did not express myself clearly. I mean the "clean" version ,stock without MIUI. Just base android that comes for examples with Google devices. I though Mi Max2 comes with MIUI.

The phone does come with MIUI and there is no AOSP rom for it yet. That's why i mentioned linageOS as it is near stock and the only custom rom as of now.

We just have to wait for kernel sources. Then maybe (i hope) we will get more developers for Mi Max 2. If yes, then we will probably get for example AOSPX and many more

Best rom for Redmi 4X?

I just bought a Redmi 4X and it's running MIUI.
For those who has the phone for more time already and experience. Which rom is the best for Redmi 4X in terms of performance/free ram and batery life?
MIUI? Lineage? Ressurection Remix? Other?

Use MIUI Pro/Xiaomi.EU For Best Battery Backup and Much Personalized Option in addition to MIUI.
For stock Experience, You should go for RR Official or Many Users Reports ViperOS have got them the best Battery Backup and Performance is also Good. Try Dot.OS too

I have tried some custom roms, but somehow I always end coming back to miui. For custom roms I really like mokee and the last unofficial AEX with f2fs support (I think official RR should be almost the same but right now I don't want to flash again). The problem with mokee is xposed and safety net. And AEX it feels so smooth, but after some days I noticed a drop in performance, speaking about games like asphalt Xtreme, but if you don't play games then you should be fine. Right now I'm with miui global dev 7.12.21 debloated and clarity 1.8 kernel, and I'm getting really nice battery backup without any loss in performance.
Oh and for miui, I think the best it's miui eu. But I recommend to install the 7.12.21 build. The most recent versions have bugs with notifications and camera2api. Multi pro should be good too, because if I'm not mistaken it's based on global dev, so it's already debloated and has the new notification shade.

I'm new to the Redmi 4X XDA thread here, any you tell me what's going on with this Encryption bug in TWRP ?
I've just unlocked bootloader using Mi Unlock tool and wanted to install TWRP and root to backup and then Flash RR Rom .
Do i also have to face this encryption bug as well as everyone is talking about in twrp threads ? (I've not enabled any type of encryption in MIUI. Settings are same as factory new MIUI version and use simple PIN as screen lock)
Which TWRP version should i use to have completely bug free experience ?

MIUI encrypted out of the box.
I'm on TWRP 3.1.1-0
All you have to do in order to decrypt:
Boot into TWRP recovery
Wipe
Wipe data
Format data (it will ask you to type "yes")
**You'll lose every single data in your device, so you better make a backup of your wanted files**
Make sure to disable dm verify before you boot into system (even if you just flash new ROM and GApps):
Boot into TWRP recovery
Advance
Tools
Disable dm
Cheers

Best alternative ROM to flash

Hello all.
I just received my mi9 and I don't like at all this stock MIUI rom.
First thing, where can I see if I have the EEA, or global ROM ?
And secondly, after unlocking my device and flashing twrp, what rom could be the best ? Maybe xiaomi.eu, revolutionOS, flokoRom ?
No AOSP based ROM at the moment ( I would love to flash an AOSP based ROM , like my good old One plus 3 )
And battery life is just horrible in stock ROM..

You could try GSI roms, but they are not stable enough for me right now.
Im now on ROS. With magisk and lawnchair it's running great and feels a lil bit like aosp. Better than stock

You should read the FAQ and forum before asking such questions, as a senior member you should know that
Anyways, unlocking usually requires a 15 day waiting / grace-period, so I'd start doing that now and you'll have another two weeks to read all the ROM/flash/root topics here.

Miui Global Rom in K20 Pro indian version

i have k20pro indian version and latest 12.0.1 miui but i want to flash global version of miui into my device because of navigation pill and some more features like animation.
if some one here can help me with the procedure and also can confirm that will there gonna be some consequences in daily usage and call recording gonna work or not(by internal feature or any third party app).
if i did so than i will be able to receive future ota?
Any kind of help will be appreciated.

On global, you won't get miui dialer and sms. So no call recording. Also if you want to continue, you'll first need to unlock your bootloader and then flash the global rom.

Should bootloader be unlocked and twrp installed or just bootloader needs to unlocked and after that it can be updated through stock recovery in future ??

Once you unlock the bootloader, you can easily install custom recovery using fastboot. So first install any custom recovery and use it to flash rom

There are a few mods. But what I heard of is, miui mods other than xiaomi.eu may break your L1 widevine (though there is a workaround to bring back L1 on some mods). So I prefer eu rom and am still using it.

Hi bro.. can you please share the steps you followed?? Also do all the things work??

I have already tried, these are steps (*do it on your own risk)
1. Download global stable fastboot rom zip of 9T Pro
2. Use Mi Flash tool to flash it
3. It gives error on bootloader lock status but phone successfully boots into global stable.
Here are my observation from 2 days of usage.
1. No MIUI dialer, contact, sms app and instead they use google provided apps in global. Record call works, there is additional page of action menu once you are in call. I lost my all sms's from mi cloud in this process, though i have backup from another app to restore.
2. Animations are smooth compared to K20 Pro and that is because of stock mi launcher. The POCO launcher on Indian version misses out most of the new animations.
3. No HD support in prime video in global . Working fine in Indian stable.
4. Debloating is not working on both roms as of now. I tried from adb tool.
5. Clone mode available in camera app of global.
6. Geekbench single core score is more in indian rom compared to global. Overall smoothness is improved compared to MIUI 11.
7. Auto brightness is bad on both roms now compared to 11.0.6.0 of Indian version.
8. Call reception (idea) is bad on global compared with indian rom. Jio VOLTE is fine on both.
After using global for 2 days, I have reverted to Indian stable because of the HD video support and call quality issues. I would suggest to use MIUI EU roms to get all features of china rom and debloated apps.

everything working fine just themes section have Chinese themes..
steps :-1. unlocked bootloader
2. flashed orangefox recovery latest(twrp not recommended)
3. backup everything and move that file to pc
4. flashed miui.eu rom package
5.DFE file( disable force encryption file)
6. reboot
You not gonna regret if you flashed it over indian version
