Coming back to Android - How to flash global rom via twrp on a magisk rooted mi9 - Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers

Hey guys,
coming back to android after several years of using apple smartphone devices at work. (was active here when the htc magic was launched)
So far I was able to read myself in on how things run these days. I was able to go through all the hoops, got the device unlocked, decrypted - used a users video guide from the forum here to install twrp for recovery - rooted the device with magisk and was happy to be able to use the apps that needed root.
Now I am sitting here with the first ota update after the flash: MIUI V10.2.26.0.PFAEUXM Stable 2.2G and I am getting triggered by the popups to update (taskbar, icon symbol) - I clicked on update and when I reboot I get into twrp not the stock recovery, seems legit cause he awaits a xiaomi flash but boots into twrp.
My question now is:
can I update the miui from twrp if I have the zip file without loosing my data? would be a pain to setup all the apps again and I am a bit too uncertain to test this now.
best regards
Lucin

If it's the same rom base but only an update then yes..... Meaning global rom to global rom update.... EU ROM to EU ROM UPDATE then yes!!! Just update through TWRP and you won't lose data

Ok - Thank you that is exactly what I want to do - just tried it and unfortunately I get some Errors. See attached photo. Someone can enlighten me?
Could it be due to me restarting from the Update window from miui? Maybe I should try to get the rom separetly and save it on the device in another folder?

Nope it's not that.... You should use this TWRP bellow not the current one you're using because that one has miui flashing issues!!!
Use this one

[ROM] MIUI v7 Developer ROM (5.8.13)

Hi Guys,
In case some people were not able to download MIUI 7 for any reason I have uploaded a download link for it to MEGA. Here is the download, make sure you flash either using Stock Recovery by going Updater> Choose update package or if you have TWRP installed do it using that.
https://mega.co.nz/#!GZcGSLxI!wsTpQ9ahbER4A3mTtcAQTwoWb7xtqwj395lZy-BFA-4
Thanks mate! Great upload.
And It's available on the Chinese download page on the bottom (developer): http://www.miui.com/download-279.html
But not on the English version of the same page.
Thanks for all the hard work

None. If you keep stock you will have OTA working
Hello friends, I'm new with Xiaomi, can you please tell me what is actual differences between Stable rom 6.6.3.0 (which is on my phone) and devs versions 5.8.13? Basically I'm understand that the one is rooted and other is not! What is the others differences - battery life, work which one is better ?
Thanks in advance

Dev is like beta. You get weekly updates, all the newest features, root access but you might get some bugs
Thanks for answer my friend! DO You have an idea when we can expect stable version for Miui 7? And if you are with dev version, How is your battery life? Is it for real 5.8.13 is on KK? Because mine stable version is on Lolypop?

I got Mi Note Pro so I have lollipop, the battery life is amazing with miui7 comparing to miui6

A little bit yes but not too much, i ll be flashing 5.8.26 later today.
Battery life just keeps on getting better for me, used it more than ever today still no connect to charger.:good:
The only problem with the phone I have is bluetooth calls sometimes not working correctly.
Just an FYI for everyone, I've found that downloading the ROM from Baidu requires that you use Chrome (to avoid creating a Baidu account) and launching in Desktop Mode. Then I've had to set my phone to never turn the screen off. Otherwise, it fails every time. Hope this helps someone else
Where are you finding 5.8.26? The developer rom say 5.8.20 still and the Updater app also.

Im part of the MIUI Beta team so I'm a couple updates in front of everyone.
Just got my Mi Note Pro and had flashed some dev rom and I have some problem.
1. Tried to flash MIUI ROM 5.8.20 and to start with I could not copy the file to my Note Pro, message was "The phone not connected to the PC" (It was), so I used Mi PC suite to copy the the zip file to thr phone storage.
2. Then when I start to install the rom via TWRP the install process just start up, the TWRP shut down and restart.
Anyone who can give some help/solution/explonation, thanks?
I just downloaded and flashed the ROM from my phone, no problems. I used stock recovery.
Thanks, I will try to download direct to my phone and hope it works.

[ROM] [MM] Chinese CM 13 (Unofficial) Redmi Note 3 (SD)

I created this thread because this ROM is been discussed in lot of others threads. So let's give it a separate dedicated place .
This ROM is for for advance users only. If you don't know what you're doing, don't even think of trying. Proceed at your own risk.
Problem you may face:
Will relock your bootloader.
You may not be able to restore your previous backup.
It is working great for some people and for some people it's a nightmare.
You tell me.
Why you should install it, there are 2 reasons.
You miss Finger Print Sensor
You miss Finger Print Sensor a lot.
Fingerprint unlock performance is amazingly faster than offical MIUI. And in case you don't miss Fingerprint sensor , I don't see any point of flashing this ROM. Instead go here [CYNOGEN MOD 13 ]and install my favorite ROM from one of my Fav developer @Santosh
Working:
RIL
Audio
Camera
Infrared
Finger Print Sensor
And everything except things mentioned in "not working"
Not working:
GPS
May be some other things.
Here's the offical thread. It's in Chinese language so you may need to use Google translator unless you know Chinese.

flash a miui rom then reunlock, you need to replace the emmc_appsboot from here with the one in 5.1.1

Can you explain step by step, if you don't mind.
safest way would be to dl fastboot ROM from miui, flash it via miflash. then simply unlock BL again using MI unlock, flash recovery as you did before and you re good to go. fastboot rom will revert everything on ur phone like it was when u bought it. rooting/unlocking you'll need to do again, but hes everything will be working as it should.

[request] zcx twrp

Hey Dev if u are free from your work then port a ZCX TWRP for xiaomi mi 3 based on official kernel source...!! Anyone has need it...!!
Because it supports ota incremental updates...!!!
Plzzz....
1.st: requests don't belong to development forum
2nd: there's no need of zcx on Mi3... Normal TWRP already supports OTA updates even on MIUI, as far as you didn't modify/root your system.

Im using zcx for incremental otas on mi5.
But in mi4 im using twrp, and as far as i know there is no support for incremental otas in twrp. Im surprise you say so.
Please could you confirm that, becouse i can't find that option.
Many thanks

Yes I've just updated like that.
Steps:
1.) downloaded the update using MIUI's Updater app (1xxMB)
2.) Pressed on the reboot button
3.) It has automatically installed the update and rebooted.
So basically no special steps are needed.

You will loose twrp doing so, and have to install it again.

Fingerprint sensor non-functional

A few weeks ago the fingerprint sensor on my Mi MIX randomly stopped working. After inquiring I discovered that this is a common issue that can be resolved by reflashing a rom. I was on MIUI before this but decided I wanted a change so I flashed LOS partly in the hope that this would resolve the fingerprint sensor issue but it still appears to be non-functional. I can't find it in the menu, which is just the same as with MIUI where it one day randomly stopped working and disappeared from the menu. Is there anything I can do about this?

Update your firmware by flashing a standalone firmware zip. Try matching the dates of firmware/rom.

I tried flashing it via recovery and get an error message. I'm not up on exactly how firmware works, but is the issue not that this was designed for MIUI and I'm running LOS?

What was the error exactly? Miui roms have got matching(compatible) firmware packages inside the zip. Non-miui roms don't have it. Firmware is basically, the package which contains modem/radio and some essential parts for the device. When i flashed an older firmware on my current rom, fingerprint menu suddenly disappeared, which is similar with your situation. That's why i suggested it. Which twrp you're using? I prefer you to use multirom twrp or blunden/raupe twrp to avoid flashing error, i'd link them later on.
Edit: Blunden twrp in extras folder: https://mega.nz/#F!ywg1kbZL!HitRlVcDhzT2GAwbLXWbxQ
