Flash Stock ROM - Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers

Can I use TWRP flash stock ROM ?
Thanks

No you can't. It'll brick your phone. But there's a custom TWRP maybe called ZSL or something else which can flash stock ROM and bypass the security option.

The recovery is zcx to be correct. I'd like to say that i already updated miui rom with twrp, all i did was downloading recovery rom from miui site and use the updater app included in miui rom. The only downside is i lost twrp and root but flash them after upgrade and everything was back to normal!!

Cant return to MIUI from LineageOS

Wipe everything
Install global developer zip file
When reboot, twrp says no OS installed
Help pls
if the recovery method of flashing the full rom fails, then you have no other recourse except to flash via fastboot method.
take note of this "Please wipe all data in Recovery mode if you want to update to a discontinuous ROM version, or downgrade to an older ROM version using MIUI full ROM pack. If you upgrade from MIUI Stable ROM based on Android M to MIUI Developer ROM based on Android N, please flash it via Fastboot update. Recovery update might cause upgrade failure."

Did you just tried rebooting to system after flashing? I also got that error "no OS installed" in TWRP so many times, but rebooting to system with no problems at all.

Unmounted system before flashing ROM .
in my opinion why just not use rom from xioami.eu because you have custom recovery .

The reason is, that you can't flash OFFICIAL Chinese (Developer/Stadle) Rom with cusom recovery (TWRP). But you can flash anything esle. Like Lineage OS. If you want to use MIUI Rom, you have to flast a Xiaomi.eu ( developer or stable) rom. NOT OFFICIIAL CHINESE !!! If you prefer Official Chinese Global rom, you must download a FASTBOOT rom (not recovery) , and flash it in fastboot mode, with MiFlash.
instead of beating around the bush, why not follow the official procedure of flashing an official miui rom
if you are coming from a custom rom, as specified herein?:
http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
When can we expect official RR for mi max 2?
It was already available for redmi note 4 which is having the same processor.
You have to wait for custom Rom until miui release the kernel source which is must have to develop a custom one. please be patience...
If you flash rom with out error, Even no os installed warning, you can boot into system without problem.

Need some help!

I suppose you mean bootlooped not "bootlocked" because it is already unlocked, right?
A custom recovery with official MIUI requires a boot image fix and you'd better simply install this https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/8-9-20.46616/ as it works without any issues and you'll be able to easily mod it any way you want.
:good:
Use Official twrp recovery, download it from here -> https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomiredmi4x.html
Magisk manager -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
there are several audio mods available, i do not use any so can not suggest any.

yup it bootlooped not locked(my bad), the bootloader is unlocked.
And would i lose all my data if i flashed this on top of my global rom and can i restore my data via restore from a backup in twrp ?

You will not lose anything if you try a "dirty flash". Wipe only advanced-cache/dalvik (don't wipe data!) and everything should work if you use "xiaomi.eu_multi_HM4X_8.9.20_v10-7.1.zip" which is exactly the same MIUI version as the official.
A "dirty flash" while preserving data/setup may not be always successful but you can restore your backup later should something go wrong.
Normal flash is recommended but you'd have to deal with app re-installations.

few questions

If i want to flash MIUI rom via twrp should i flash the fastboot rom or recovery rom ? Also do i need to flash lazy flasher after that, what is the purpose of LF after all? And lastly will i get OTA updates on flashed rom or manually update it ? oh and ill be going for miui 10 any suggestions for kernel to prolong battery ?
TWRP is custom recovery and that's what recovery ROM are for and fastboot ROM are for flashing via fastboot.
Yes, you'll get updates. But make sure to use correct recovery because some recovery won't be able flash update and instead you'll have to dirty flash the whole ROM.
MIUI already has best battery optimization, imo you don't need to flash any custom kernel but if you want to then you can. I haven't used MIUI since June so can't tell which kernel will fit perfect for your need.
Here is information about lazy flasher

Is it possible to flash stock ROM with TWRP?

I have the LOS ROM installed and while I love it, I love wifi calling even more.
TWRP is installed. Is it possible to flash the stock ROM with TWRP?
I searched....
I don't see why not. Then again I haven't used twrp is years.
I was able to flash a rom based of the stock rom, very easy

Losing Recovery after install Custom ROM

Hi,
I have the following problem.
I was able to install the custom ROM properly on my Mi9t pro. Unfortunately my Orangefox Recovery was deleted After the installation.
If I want to install Magisk now, I have to reflash the recovery first.
Do you have any idea why the recovery is deleted? Is there a way to prevent that?
Thanks in advance.

Your (custom) Recovery was really deleted?
Or replaced by stock Recovery
Who says that installation of Magisk requires custom Recovery?
Magisk documentation (Installation Instructions) - please find it on Magisk Github - certainly not.
Patch the boot.img and flash (it can be flashed by Fastboot, hence custom Recovery is not a must to have)
Hi,
it really gets deleted. My cell phone is then only in fastboot mode.
I am not interested in flashing Magisk either, but rather that recovery after an installation is no longer available. This makes installing updates more cumbersome.
I only have the problem when I flash a custom ROM. when I flash a MIUI ROM from xiaomi.eu Beta, the recovery is retained.
