Hi guys,
Just bought the Mi MIX running MIUI9 from eBay and the seller has been great, it initially had MIUI "find my device" active, so I flashes Lineage OS as it came with the bootloader unlocked, but Lineage OS shows FRP locked, weird because I though deleting System/Cache/Data partitions would remove the FRP lock, so asked the seller to remove the FRP and MIUI find my device remotely, so he did, FRP still shows on Lineage OS even after re-flashing, so got the MIUI 8 Beta fastboot ROM and flashed it, find my device from MIUI is gone and FRP seems to be gone as well, but here comes even more weird stuff, after this I did a clean flash of the EpicRom MIUI 9 based ROM and FRP is back, so fastboot flash again MIUI 8 and all is good, flashed Lineage OS and FRP is back on? How is this possible?
If the seller removed the device from his google account, this should not happen, unless it takes some time for it to replicate to the device, it's been 3hrs since he removed the FRP and still having issues, MIUI find my device took about 30min to replicate. Have you guys ever seen anything like this? Any ideas what is going on, why FRP is an issue on Nougat ROMs?
FRP status is managed in misc or frp partitions, not system/cache/data.

Thanks for the reply =) any idea how to clear those partitions? I found a work around, to use MIUI 9, I first installed MIUI 8 ROM and setup all accounts, then upgraded to MIUI 9 and still everything works, but when I reset the phone, FRP is back =/, but at least I can used MIUI 9 now without any issues, to use Lineage OS, also found a work around, installed Lineage OS without GAPPS, completed the setup and then flashed GAPPS, all working fine as well, haven't tried to reset after getting Lineage OS working, maybe I'll try it sometime this week, but if there is a way to clear the partitions mentioned above, please let me know.
Thank you again =)

1: you can use microg instead of the regular gapps
2: only setupwizard within gapps is querying for FRP
3: try flashing the fastboot rom from http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
Remember to select flash all partitions

I've tried the flash_all from the fastboot rom, but didn't work, so it seems that this does not touch the FRP/misc partitions? I'll try microg later, thanks for the support.
Sorted, guess when I got Lineage OS installed and then GAPPS setup, the FRP/MISC partition got updated with my google account, FRP issue gone, yay, now I have full control of my phone

Hi, so if you are in RR already, you will need to erase system and data partitions through twrp, and then install only RR ROM zip file, don't install GAPPS zip file, gapps is what will ask for frp lock, so install only the zip file for RR ROM and you will be able to boot just fine, don't worry about gapps for now, because after you setup the RR ROM, you can flash GAPPS through twrp and then setup your Google account when you start the play store. That's what I did and worked just fine ? let me know if this helped.
As far as I remember; the FRP(factory reset protection) was related to OEM unlock option on Samsung devices. So, to avoid this protection; users had to enable and keep it enabled the OEM unlocking option in developer settings. I think that happens(on mix) if you've received your device with unlocked bootloader(probably unlocked by unofficial way). I've got unlocked mine by my own account officially so never seen the FRP(probably the warning text is like: custom binary blocked by FRP) error when I was flashing in 9 months. Just saying
FRP lock
Hi,
so are you saying that if you have a samsung phone, unless if the original owner removes it from their account, the lock will always be there no matter what you do?
if yes, how do you remove phone from samsung account?

As title. I've tried like 5 different TWRP versions linked from all over the Mi 8 forums and none have worked for me. Any and all versions have made the ROM unable to boot, every restart will load recovery instead and I have to flash stock boot to get the ROM to work. Bootloader unlocked, ROM rooted by having Magisk create a patched boot cos every other way also failed.
I'm also looking for it.

Currently https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-3-0-mi-8-t3837745 this version working but you've to format all of your data then flash your rom. I know its not the standard solution and even I'm waiting for official TWRP for our beloved Mi 8.
You need to choose Format Data first, Reboot again to Recovery, and then flash the DM Verity and Encryption Disabler.
After that, you can go ahead to flash any ROM you like.

Believe me, it worth the efforts! It would be much better than staying with crappy MIUI 10 Global Stable.
Currently, I'm with MIUI EU 10.0.6.0 Stable and I don't want to go back to stock MIUI Stable, just don't forget to install Magisk 17.2 for root access, replace the GPS.conf with your preferred country server URL (I believed it should be Malaysia) - look for a thread by @RainGater for the complete walkthrough - and although it is not necessary, it would be better to edit the default Xiaomi EU build.prop to change the region to match your country (by default it is set to Romania or some EU country, I forgot)

I don't actually have a problem with my ROM. My GPS works fine, and I've already gotten root on my stock Global. Right now in my journey with Android which started with the HTC Desire Z, I don't need a custom ROM, I just need root for the occasional app that needs it I do have root now, but would love TWRP too so I can make full backups. Will check out your links regardless, thanks!
Finally. Open Beta, but running without Problems here! :good:

Its bootloop because your device is encrypted and cant boot,look in other threads there is a decrytption script and step by step how to flash this pie
I can't recommend a flash without Data formatting since it is a Major Android Update. If You want to face a bugfree and clean Device start from scratch by backing Up Your Internal Storage, flash Orange Fox and do a complete wipe followed by "format Data" and the flashing of the System. Every System has Problems with Updates, that will never Change but A/B Treble was a step in the right direction since its almost failsafe on Updates. We don't have A/B Support on the Mi Mix 2 so it will be the best to do clean Updates before You will loose Your Personal Data...
Flashing Scripts to avoid encryption is Just a dirty workaround btw. If You want a save and secure Device just do what i wrote before... Otherwise can everyone steal Your Device and get Access to EVERYTHING.
I've written a short tutorial how to use encrypted data on latest Mi MIX2 MIUI Android 9 Pie ROM

As soon as I install latest xiaomi eu pie and magisk 19.1 I get a message that find device storage corrupted your device is unsafe now. Everything except adding/removing fingerprints seems to work correctly. Then even if I clean data I still get this message. the only way to fix it is clean install latest Oreo (9.4.25). Then I can update to pie and it is ok until magisk. Anyone has experienced this behavior or can help?

Dirty flash with Xiaomi.eu Rom works great
Clean installed xiaomi.eu 9.5.9 Pie with magisk 19.1. It seems bluetooth paired devices are lost after each restart. Anyone experienced the same problem?
EDIT:
I've just pairted two bluetooth devices and changed their names. After two phone restarts both devices remain, so something helped.
So Im on global stable,only thing i need to do before flashing this pie is wiping internal strogae + data? I got so confused these days

Hi everyone! I'm very much a newbie when it comes to custom ROM's, so apologies if this is a a dumb question...
I just managed to install the latest Pixel Experience ROM on my K20 Pro, from the stock Chinese ROM. Before installing it, I had to flash DFE. So, from my understanding, it is now blocking me from re-enabling encryption. I need to have encryption enabled for work email access, so is it possible to enable it somehow? I'm not worried about losing any data on the phone, but I would certainly prefer to use Pixel Experience than to go back to MIUI.
Per another forum thread I found, one member suggested to "reflash your vendor/firmware." Is that accurate? If so, how do I do that, and what would be the result?

Why did you have to flash DFE? It's only used if you change roms frequently to avoid encryption.
I initially had trouble successfully installing the ROM. So, I started from scratch and followed some thorough instructions I found online, which included the DFE step. (I noticed that TWRP was previously showing an encryption error at the start of ROM installation; but I guess it could just be a "warning" more than an error. I suspect my problem before was probably more related to not having the latest MIUI update installed, or something like that.)
I don't plan on frequently swapping ROM's.

Your best bet is to go back to stock and start again. I believe installing an official fastboot ROM will restore encryption. Your previous issues were probably caused by not formatting data when flashing PE.
There is no requirement to disable encryption on this phone, ignore any guide that adds that as a step. You should only disable encryption if it's your personal preference to disable it.
Follow this guide.
Flash the latest Chinese 11.0.5 fastboot ROM. Make sure you don't lock the bootloader if using the Mi Flash Tool.
Boot into MIUI once to allow it to finalise the install, you don't need to do the initial phone setup once it boots into MIUI.
Boot into fastboot and install TWRP. I recommend the latest from mauronofrio which should be 3.1.1-32
Boot immediately into TWRP. I use the volume up button while powering up the phone.
Perform a factory reset in TWRP (using the swipe button), then format data (need to type 'yes' to confirm).
Reboot into TWRP using the TWRP boot menu, this ensures the newly formatted data partition is correctly mounted.
Copy over the PE ROM, then flash.
Boot into your new ROM, everything should be OK. Then boot back into TWRP to install Magisk if you want root.

Do yourself a favour and follow the instructions in the description of the rom, not some instructions you found online telling you to do some unnecessary stuff. Going to and from miui, format data, everything else just wipe cache, system and data to avoid issues, even then you can get away with dirty flashing aosp based roms 99% of the time imo.
As for the miui update, I have no idea how you came to that conclusion but just no, that's not how it works at all. Vendor firmware and the rom is all you need for pixel experience at the bare minimum.
You can try flashing the rom again, but don't flash the DFE.
I need some help, I have Mi 11 Ultra CN version, I unlocked BL and install the Global Rom using fast boot, I enjoyed it, but battery seems to suck.
I installed MIUI EU 12.5.4 and now that I'm trying to update it to EU 12.5.7.0 within the phone, it tells me my internal memory is encrypted. How can i install the update or decrypt my internal memory. It does not allow me to install the update... any help will be appreciated it..

There is no downsize. You are only replacing stock recovery with a different version. It has no affect on your phone, it's and your own data. It just makes it easier to flash custom or even returning to stock if required as well as other tools offered in the TWRP package.

Installing twrp doesn't install root. It just replaces the system recovery. If you really want root, use Magisk but I've not found any reason to root my phone for ages.

I have installed miui 13 so going to 12.5 will downgrade Android version ? I have listened that downgrading Android can brick pls confirm or i will stay to miui 13 only
Then how to lock bootloader after unrooting
And i know about data backup but it will reset my device ?
Where will I get original boot.img for my device provide link if possible Redmi note 9 (Merlin) Indian Varient.
What software will be used in pc and how to operate tutorial if possible .
Please reply all the questions..
Am regretting why I rooted without having zero knowledge please help me
Unfortunately, downgrading from MIUI 13 (A12) to MIUI 12 (A10/11) is/may not (be) possible because of the security patches and MIUI's anti-rollback feature. I could only downgrade my MIUI 12 back to 11 as it was still Android 10. You can unroot your device by flashing the MIUI using the Mi Flash. Just remember to choose a lock option and not Wipe Internal storage as you may lose the IMEI numbers and the whole NVRAM. I can't verify if it will work for you. It worked on my Redmi Note 9 Global (EEA). Also, I'm not sure about the MIUI and Android vendor downgrading as I've seen many people hard bricking their devices by forcing and bypassing the MIUI Recovery "Can't downgrade this MIUI version" error. Maybe I'm wrong in something. Feel free to criticize and fix my mistakes. Unlocking a bootloader and flashing a custom ROM is considered to be "irreversible and permanent" as the user's goal may be to get rid of the MIUI and full control of the phone/OS.

Lock option locks the bootloader, like it came out of box. You can find the boot.img file in the ROM's package or in the MIUI's folder called Images. Lock option needs to wipe the device as it's enabling back the security layers to the memory to prevent injecting bad codes into the device. Unlocking disables it on the other side, that's why a full wipe is necessary.
