Hi ! Nobody can help me ? Or if they had a link for root global Rom Miui 10 Pie ?
They had a tuto for mi 8 light bit nothing for mi 8

Can I unlock with a old Mi Account without waiting 2 weeks?

Relax, take your time and google everything you need, digest it first before you rush into doing something that you're not ready for.
By the time you become well informed yourself in two weeks time, then your phone will be ready to unlock.
Perfect timing.

Hi ! I want to root the global Rom I use. Global V12.1.2.0. I have send for unlock it. Just do unlock now.
For root it do flash Twrp but After don't know ?

Rommco05 said:
If u interested in root, I suggest to you go to Global beta or some custom ROM based on MIUI, that just advice. Yes u need TWRP is way also without but this more practice. Flash TWRP which is posted here in Dev section this way:
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
fastboot boot nameofrecovery.img
in TWRP flash avian nameofrecovery.img to recovery partition
Meantime download Magisk, latest is 18 and is good, put them to internal storage and flash... "abrakadara" and u are rooted

Ok thank you very much.
Just flash magisk on beta rom no need to wipe or format. And no flash remove encryption too.
Just flash Twrp on fastboot and flash again Twrp on Twrp and flash magisk and reboot.
Great thanks. Have a good day.
Ps : I think flash dev global but factory reset before flash twrp and magisk because I had mistake after change local and use theme.

Rommco05 said:
No need to wipe/format anything. When u will install beta (over updater app) factory reset will be automatically

Ok thank you I had install the beta with updater App but I do to configure it on boot and install App (use mi restore) for reply to you.
I'm on beta now just flash twrp now.
I don't factory reset it just flash magisk 18 on Twrp ?
But just a presision when reboot on Twrp just reflash Twrp img (install/image/recovery) because don't understand on recovery partition ? It's because treble my last phone are an oneplus 3 and no have treble partition and more easy to flash.
And every weeks they had an update of Dev Global Rom how do update it ? Flash the full Rom on Twrp and magisk to or can update it with updater App ?
Thanks have a good day.

Rommco05 said:
Yes that's right. Updates need be flashed in TWRP full version. Or have look into Pitch black recovery but still isn't tested

Ok ! Thanks.
But I think flash Xiaomi.eu rom based on china rom. The stable Rom.eu stable.
But nobody response me on forum .eu.
I'm on global stable if I flash the Xiaomi.eu Rom it's chinese Rom and different it's right ? I do Factory reset for flash it ?
What the difference of the Twrp on dev section and twrp dipper on Xiaomi.eu ? I do use the Twrp dipper for flash this custom and do flash again Twrp on Twrp too.
I have change because the global rom for me is less good than chinese ! I had a mistake with notifications push youtube never had notifs ? But receive on YouTube but never on mi 8. I had remove all battery energized on system ! Check all notifications system and on App but never receive notifications.
Thanks have a good day

MiRoom is better than Xiaomi.eu. Before installing custom Miui Roms must format data. TWRP form Dev section is good

Ok thank you but MIRooms are not multi french langage and in French lot of people use Xiaomi.eu and for help is more good for me.
Ok do format data but if format data I loose encryption and don't do to flash the zip for remove it.
It's really a guys said me is better to buy a chinese version of mi 8 it's true... I have this global but no more people use it ! many people use chinese version of mi 8.
The chinese version of mi 8 are not encypted ? Thank you

Rommco05 said:
No that's isn't true, is much better owning Global version. Chines phones are also encrypted by default. So flash xiaomi.eu is up to your choice
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ok thank you I make the good choice.
But why if global version are better all guys use custom rom based on china version ?
I don't know if they had but I would like a custom rom based on global rom but with more option than can make 5x5 on mi launcher because with theme it crash and don't stay every day or can use different song fir App like Twitter on my oneplus use the ios Twitter song and know if is a tweat and for Google message can't have the message song work only for mi message etc etc..
For flash Xiaomi.eu you said format data but you know on Twrp chose wipe and format and data and type yes ? Or wipe data partition ? Because if format it loose encryption and when boot to rom no have mistake with DM verity ? Thanks.

Just install the room and start it to finish the installation.
Then go to fastboot and install twrp with the commands that Rommco05 already said.

Hi ! Thanks for support. It's different than oneplus.
I'm on Dev Rom Global and stay for unlock the BL.
When I can unlock it I reinstall The Dev Global Rom or new update (every weeks) but wipe data on stock recovery (clean install) just start it as a new phone.
"I have a usb type-c otg " and then make that flash Twrp....& Magisk..
Thank you. Have a good day.

Can I install MIUI ROMs trough TWRP like any other ROM?

I just get the Mi5 and like I said in other se treads, im kind desapointed with the MIUI mostly because the touchscreen, performance and the notifications bar. I realy into adveture myself in the world of the custom ROMs, like CM 14.1, but my doubt is.. Can I only go back to complete Stock by flashing MIUI by Fastboot or can be installed trough TWRP like any other ROM?

official MIUI - use MI flashtool via fastboot method only
unofficial MIUI - flash via TWRP recovery or MI flashtool will also work
Sure you can. Actually I used twrp to update the stable version of miui for countless times. It is OK, at least for my 64G mi5
No. Official rom you must need miui flash tool.
you can flash Custom recovery form EDL mode even in bootloader locked
Hi. What would be the safest way to go back to global stable rom? I am on miui eu 6.11.10. Boot loader is unlocked, and my recovery is twrp 3.0.2.0. In recovery I get error message when I try to clear cache "can't mount cache". I just want to be able to receive ota, got tired of changing roms. Thanks
Hi I'm on eu Stable 8.1.6. I want to flash developer Global 7.1.19. What is the safest way? Can I do it by TWRP and what I should wipe?
GabrielMed said:

Yes; if you do a backup via TWRP of your miUI rommed device: sysimage + data + boot
advice: save it outside of the device (your computer, etc) for storage.
Then you can go frolicking with wathever rom you want, when tired put back in the device the backup files; reboot in recovery and via TWRP do a restore.
advice 2: as a baseline for a good/solid backup save also "efs" (that is the modem/sim stuff).
Why sysimage and not system?
Because that is an image (all the bytes) and the other is just the bytes in use; so sysimage will be a larger (in mb/gb) file but a more robust one (backup wise).
...
and for the two who inserted their personal questions in this semi-old thread...

Installing Official MIUI using TWRP Discussion

Hey Guys, anyone already tried the link below on installing Official MIUI using TWRP?
How to Install Official Rom with TWRP Recovery!
I've been meaning to try Official MIUI for a long time now, and by doing so I ran obstacles along the way either using MIFlash tool or TWRP - nothing works. But I just saw the method I linked above, and could be the missing piece I need to install the rom thru TWRP.
The OP of that tried it with Redmi 3S. So I'm just wondering maybe someone here already made it worked with MI5?
I could update from global dev 6.11.10 to global dev 7.1.19 with miui built in updater . After downloading nougat it rebooted to twrp and installed the rom normally. The only thing is i lost twrp replaced by stock one .
Download latest MIUI and flash normal with twrp if update is fastboot method twrp replace to stock recovery

recommended is for you to wipe data,system,dalvik and cache to avoid possible force close window pop out when opening an app, however if you are going to one rom to another eg. aosp-miui global-dev or anything in particular i found out that wiping everything (avoid the efs partition of course) is the best choice for peace of mind, one final thought is only do this if you had other means to bring your phone back to life if other recovery method such as the ability to boot into edl mode is working for you and always do a full system backup of your current rom just in case, hope that helps

Currently, I am using MIUI EU rom and TWRP 3.0.2.0 . Ive tried several times of flashing official global MIUI and failed several times. So tried my luck with miflash tool months ago, but still unsuccessfull. And that's the reason I posted the method above, maybe it is the thing that I am missing.
But, it still continues to puzzle me why others , and even you, can successfully install official MIUI thru TWRP. weird.
can't find the line they talk about in that script. Did anyone managed to install miui trough TWRP on the Mi5?

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.

Is possible I think, before change to pie, make sure .zip file of pie must include kernel. I guess recommend flash via miui recovery / TWRP and wipe data. Because update different version of Android, 8.1 to 9.0
I never try Pie because my Arb=4. U can try, if bootloop you can flash this stable version again

You can I found the method in a Russian website, but the Bootloader will remains on 6X. But technically you can install AndroidONE again, btw for updating you need to use alternative ways. ( Due to the 6X Bootloader)

I tried but did not help. When I reboot system, MIUI 10 formats storage with encryption again. I tried following scenarios:
1) Opened TWRP and format data. Reboot system
2) Opened TWRP and format data. Reboot to TWRP again. Reboot to system
3) Opened TWRP and format data. Reboot to TWRP again. Flash magisk. Reboot to system
All has same affect. and TWRP asks password again and again.

Your Data partition can mount in TWRP?
if TWRP ask password, probably because install TWRP with active password lockscreen in system. When install recovery make sure deactive lockscreen pasword first
Try this recovery: https://sourceforge.net/projects/pitchblack-twrp/files/wayne/

I can't mount data partition in TWRP. TWRP asks for password. I did not flash TWRP. I just boot TWRP from fastboot when I need with fastboot boot twrp.img command. I tried pitchblack recovery but the result is same.

I did that few days a go....
... If you have twrp already just download xiaomi eu and flash and then format data after flash.... Try to boot into recovery volume up and power and see if ya have twrp already...
If you dont have twrp.... Flash it through fastboot and boot into twrp through fastboot.... Before download xiaomi eu....once you booted to twrp find it and flash it...do not forget format the data after flashing.... The base is the same so no need to any other steps....its simple
