INSTALLING GAPPS USING STOCK MI-RECOVERY WILL NOT WORK PLEASE INSTALL TWRP TEMPORARLY OR PERMANENTLY
If you already have TWRP installed you know what to do..
Download the following file:
twrp.img - https://mega.nz/#!nR0jHZqL!2cksl ... 5H76ut8UVtnu97HHAEo
HOW TO INSTALL TWRP TEMPORARLY
1. Save the file on your PC.
2. Power off your device and turn it back on by holding Power button and Volume Down at the same time. This will get you into fastboot menu.
3. Now what you will have to do is plug your phone to your PC using a usb cable.
4. Open up the Command Promt and navigate to the location of your fastboot driver. Mine is C:/adb so I would type cd C:/adb in the command promt
5. Now type in fastboot devices just to make sure that your device is listed correctly.
6. Place the twrp.img inside same folder as fastboot.
7. Type fastboot boot twrp.img (TO FLASH PERMANENTLY USE ''fastboot flash recovery twrp.img'')
8. Now your phone should boot into TWRP!! Click on the Install button and then navigate to where you have saved the Gapps package
9. Reboot and you are should have Gapps correctly installed.

I just want to solve a gps issue occurring only with google maps, can I flash it over existing google apps?

No you can't flash over current gapps you will just get an error. Use a root uninstaller app to remove any Google apps and then flash it.

I have tried it with both the newest 5.1 ROM and Beta - Flashing through the Mi-PC Suite. When I install the smaller package GAPPS or when i select only the MAPS, etc. I get an error with the Dialer and the Contacts and it forces me to reflash the ROM again to recover. No other way so far.
I used TWRP as a temp and loaded the 5.1 on the card and installed it from TWRP - no luck. Am I missing something pretty obvious? It's been a while since I have flashed, etc. If I can't get any higher speeds on the AT&T HSPA+ than 1.5Mb then I might sell this thing. I didn't read fully the LTE bands on it and made the mistake before I caught it - the device was on its way. So now I keep it and make the most of it or sell it if its a hassle to make right. Mostly want a Global ROM with working GAPPS.
Thanks for any help!

Try manually removing all Gapps using a Root system unistaller app then wipe cache and try again.

Flash the Xiaomi.eu ROM, it already includes minimal GApps, and the rest you can get from the Play Store. That's the most convenient way.
There's no Global ROM for Note Pro as it's only sold in China but even if there were, you don't really want to use it anyway. Always use the latest China Developer ROM and modify it accordingly (or let someone do the work for you - hence the Xiaomi.eu suggestion). Since you don't need the translations to other European languages, you can also try the Russian-made MIUIPro, which includes GApps too.

I'm having all sorts of problems I can no longer get gapps to work, not sure what I have done. Since I went back to stable nothing seems to work. Play store just closes even the mi app store don't work.

Use root unistaller to completely remove any traces of Gapps, wipe dalvik and download the right gapps package for your android version.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24352994023706867
How did I miss this nice 1 Aqq123
worked straight away with Gapps already included.

So this looks like the only option for the lucky ones who haven't locked their bootloader.

You need to mount "system" at the TWRP before starting to flash.
The button "Mount" is in the main menu in TWRP.

Stock recovery is a partion file and Huawei update the firmware the change the partion user build number is chang to b140 ok.

}
this version just tested in J5 pro 2017 (android 7).
use latest kernel source from opensource.samsung.com
device tree : github
mtp not work in linux.
Instructions:
Flash with ODIN 3.10.7 in the AP slot.
Put your device in DOWNLOAD mode.
Uncheck Auto reboot.
Load the respective file below into the AP slot and hit start.
After flashing and ODIN reports PASS immediately reboot to recovery by holding POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN.
As soon as the screen goes blank change to VOL UP whilst still holding POWER + HOME.
You should now see TWRP recovery.
NOTE: ON SOME ANDROID 5.1.1/6.0 DEVICES IT IS NECESSARY TO GO TO:
Settings -> Developer Options -> OEM unlocking
AND ENABLE OEM UNLOCK FIRST OR YOU MAY ENCOUNTER 'BLOCKED BY FRP LOCK' WHEN FLASHING.
DOWNLOAD:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/qpxypf08usashe4/twrp_v3.1.1_SM-J530F.tar
To Root:
Flash the latest SuperSU release with TWRP:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/app...2-05-t2868133/
To disable forced encryption and mount internal storage:
(Note this MUST be flashed after SuperSU if you intend to root)
1. Boot to Twrp
2. Format Data partition using FORMAT DATA button under Wipe options.
(Note: This will wipe the internal storage)
3. Check DATA is mountable.
4. Install SuperSU (if root is required)
5. Install boot image patch below.
6. Reboot
Boot image patch
http://www.mediafire.com/file/ln38z3q9c6iz3ny/patched-boot.tar

just putting my 2 cents in, this TWRP does not work with J530Y, it installs and boots to system after being installed but trying to reboot when you enter causes a boot loop incase any 1 comes across this and has the same model as me, my only complaint is the, debug? text in the terminal, but thats just a small gripe of mine

work in j530f duos 2GB RAM? no pro version?

twrp working fine.But when i rebooted i lost root.Super su not found installed .Should i reflash super su and boot image

Recovery came out yesterday and you already expect a rom to be ready ?? lol

what would happen if I flashed this on a frp locked SM-J530F? I assume that the OEM Unlocking is disabled, is it worth a shot or is it just a waste of time?

Can't moun data on SM-J530F (J5 2017) (non Pro)
Dont forget Point 2.(Format Data)
Now boot.img is taking a long time to flash. Trying to flash it in AP slot of Odin.

Mine could not see it as well. Maybe you should convert .tar to .img? After some research i found out TWRP can't flash .tar.
Although, recovery works fine without patching boot.

i did the same but end up well.Its working !!.Mine was both OEM and FRP locked .i did clean install of stock rom and disabled oem lock and installed twrp and rooted aswell.

I am going back to stock rom and wait for a while for a better later version.

I think you have to do the inverse process. Flash twrp and after supersu

Oke I start from scratch again...
Flashed the stok ROM first.
Enable OEM and USB debugging
Flashed TWRP twrp_v3.1.1_SM-J530F with Odin3 v3.12.7 and disable Auto Reboot option.
Important: Reboot my phone holding Vol down, Home button, Power button AND when vibrate, Imminently pushed Vol up, Home button, Power button to go directly into TWRP.
Install Magisk-v14.0 (it fails, but just do it instead of installing SuperSU)
Boot my phone and restore al my apps from the play store include root checker. It has already root acces now
Install MagiskManager-v5.3.0.apk and dowload inside this app Magisk-v14.0.zip and choose Update (recommended)
With MagiskManager you are now able to disable root checking apps like SnapChat from root access. So my Snapchat is still working now
Hope this will help you.
If so than let me know with :good:

i succesfully booted into twrp using fastboot, trying to flash twrp installer for mi a2 inside a temporary twrp. but, when i tap install, and go to sdcard directory, all folder and file names are messed up. i dont know why. because of that, twrp cannot find any zip files becoz my files have been renamed into weird sentences leaving no extension behind it. but, when i boot to system, my files and folders still originally the same. thanks

the reason i want to use twrp becoz i want to flash an audio mod zip, it's called viper4android. for previous android oreo, i did it using magisk modules. it worked perfectly. but now, everytime i install that module through magisk, viper keep asking me to install its audio driver, i click yes, then a reboot needed, but it still requesting it everytime i reboot my phone. does anyone know how can i install viper4android on my a2?

that's right, Viper4Android(Magiskmethod) is not working anymore on Pie. you can try to flash the viper installer trough adb sideload, TWRP->advanced->adb sideload->(start it), then go to your pc and run adb sideload filename.zip, if you get an error, try using PBRB or viceversa, let me know if you get Viper working on Pie

you don't need to factory reset... if you are just temporarily booting twrp.img, when you reboot your phone it will take the original (or patched) boot.img and it will boot normally, this is not a permament encrypted files bug

I have this same issue. Ran into a bootloop issue, fastboot flashed a stock rom so I could get into my system. My entire sdcard is jibberish names. Even as my data is restored from my google account, it continues to be all jibberish as per OP. I would've thought as I restored the apps, normal named folders would be appearing but apparently not...

I faced the same it was fixed only after I flashed the latest (December) patched for magisk boot img. It first started after trying to flash twrp on pie. Bootloop fastboot flashed then again jibberish on any file manager plus camera was not recognising internal storage to store photos. Pc was recognising internal storage with again jibberish folder names but when I tried copying a file from pc nothing happened. It was only fix only after flashed patched boot like mentioned before

Bootloop fastboot flashed then again jibberish on any file manager plus camera was not recognising internal storage to store photos. Pc was recognising internal storage with again jibberish folder names but when I tried copying a file from pc nothing happened. It was only fix only after flashed patched boot like mentioned before

Hello, could you bettere explain how I could my encrypted file and storage back? I have the some problem TWRP + Pie but I'm noob...

If you're on official pie the only thing u need in order to get access to your data is the stock recovery and boot image. You can download the latest fastboot rom (or the one u have if it wasn't the latest) and fastboot flash boot.img and recovery.img. you can find in the room section patched boot images for root with magisk. For start you can try flashing only that, leave the recovery and see if it boots. If it fails to boot I'm afraid you have to fastboot flash the whole rom (it's a batch file and it runs all the commands automatically - it takes long around 25 minutes) but I believe your data partition will be formatted but you will have a working phone again

Also just a tip (correct me if I'm wrong) the data encryption on pie roms occurs the moment you put a security pin or pattern for lockscreen on setup wizard. If you don't the there is no encryption.

I follow this topic https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/how-to-enabling-cam2-gcam-android-t3868766 until flash of patched image but my file are still encrypted. Of course I can't install magisk because my storage is blocked. Any suggestion?

I don't flash, only use fastboot boot name.img, maybe the problem is related to this?

If I remember correctly I did a factory reset after flashing the rom with the patched boot.img cause after first boot I had the same problem with storage.

Ok but by doing a factory reset all data will be erased, right?

Ahoy there, good to see you.
ROM is running, brilliantly.
:good:

Nice ROM.. work.. my problem is TWRP DECRYPTION ç.ç after install this rom i have problem to read file i have all folder encrypted

Does this rom require specific Pie firmware or are all compatible? I have tried a few roms on here an had nothing but problems trying to get them to boot etc even on required firmwares an dont wanna go through the nightmare of restoring it to stock functuality.

To update use the updater tab in settings, it should work even if you're encrypted

You won't be able to see your files within TWRP but updates through the updater will work

I'm going to try this soon, does anybody have a guide?
Does it require stock recovery to be flashed then wipe after instal or before installing rom?

Before installation
------------------------------
Make a back up of your data.
Download the ROM and Mind the G-Apps.
Installation
------------------
1. Copy the ROM and G-Apps to your ADB folder.
2. Install TWRP via fastboot in bootloader, I used official 3.3.0.2
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk "name of recovery"
3. Boot to TWRP.
Fastboot reboot (pull cable and hold up straight away)
4. Push both ROM and G-Apps to /tmp from the ADB folder.
ADB push "name of ROM" /tmp
ADB push "name of G-Apps" /tmp
5. Perform a wipe in TWRP.
6. Install ROM and G-Apps.
(Not sure if the below is necessary but I did it)
7. Boot to bootloader and install stock recovery.
Fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk "name of stock recovery"
8. Boot to stock recovery and wipe / data factory reset and wipe cache.
Boot ROM.
Rooting
-------------
I used the latest magisk but magisk manager 7.2.0.
Install via TWRP, you'll need to reinstall TWRP again..
From this point OTA's will take care of further updates so no need to wipe again.

So no changes in update script needed?
Sorry for the million questions but i have never hated a phone so much as this trying to flash roms an having to restore to stock etc.
I know this isn't developers problem but trying to save myself hours of the possibility of it going wrong yet again an trying to restore stock....
Appreciate everyone's help as this looks amazing, i despise EMUI.

I have a problem , my storage is crypted,i also can't install google chrome , can't save any photo , cant do anything

Yea I had this problem myself, I believe it was because I didn't use the stock recovery to wipe before the first boot.
Did you follow instructions?
Your SD partition had encryption from a previous time.
If you need to return to stock then follow the guide in my sig.

You don't need to change anything from the zip, it'll work on the P20 Pro out of the box
To push the zip you can use adb sideload or an external sd card and right after you flash the rom for the first time, wipe data using the stock recovery

Can I use an Open Gapps instead of the MindTheGapps ?
Does this rom have a deep sleep problem? I mean the situation when device cannot go to the deep sleep mode after charging the phone or heavy use and I need to reboot my phone to start deep sleep working again.
