So, I tried everything, flashed the ROM based on OREO like 9.6.1.0 ended in bootlooping the device, also custom rom based on OREO doesnt work too, like pixel experience, LINEAGE, ETC
Other than OREO based, ROM based on NOUGAT works well, like MIUI 8.xxx or RR based on NOUGAT
Any idea why this happens?

Your custom recovery needs to be an Oreo version compatible, so you can install oreo based roms on it.
Try to update to early version.

this is quite weird ... since if you install any nougat ... you'll sure receive OTA update to oreo (dev or stable) ...

yes, installing the OTA based on OREO update also cause bootloop happens
basically, anything OREO based, whether it's ota or flashing it manually through TWRP, ZCX TWRP, or Mi Flash cause bootloop
Have you wipe your internal partition?
I think we need to wipe all partition after installing firmware when come from nougat to Oreo, because Oreo have new vendor partition.
At least you should use twrp-3.2.1-1-gemini

Try reflashing latest twrp via fastboot (not from within twrp).
After wiping all partitions (also mount and wipe vendor) and formatting data, reboot to recovery before flashing the ROM to access the data partition correctly again.
Then also try to boot (would go with a custom ROM) without any gapps, mods or root first, to further center the problem.
What happens now?
Have the same problem
Try to install latest build via fastboot --> failed
Try to install miui nougat based work, ota update to oreo based -->bootloop
Also try to flash all included internal storage but the problem still occured
Any miui nougat based and aex mod 5.1 work fine in my phone
Install lazy flasher before installing anything like SuperSU...

Puh, don't know.
Do you have an old backup of your efs partition lying around?
If so, try restoring that.
If that also doesn't help, I'm through with my math here, I think...
Flash a Lineage OS 14.1 build without GApps but with a firmware that supports Oreo. Then, go to developer settings, turn on ADB and run adb devices on your computer so that the RSA Fingerprint pops up. There, make sure you tap on remember this computer and click ok.
Now, do an update to Lineage 15.1 without wiping anything. As soon as you reboot your phone, connect it to your PC and try to get a logcat. Paste the logcat here and we'll be able to see what's actually going on.
Hi everyone,
I'm right now facing the issue that none of the flashed custom ROMs can boot.
I'm right now on MIUI 10.0.2.0, the bootloader is unlocked and TWRP was installed, but since I returned to the original global ROMs via XiaomiMiFlash Tool I think it's not on the decide anymore.
I tried to install Havoc and Pixel Experience.
What is the correct procedure to flashed the roms ?
I followed the instructions on the Havoc OS Thread for "Coming from MIUI 10.0.2.0". After installing the device kept boot looping and basically "flashing" the MI Logo with the "Unlocked" Label at the bottom.
Thank you for your time and help.
This could be a problem with your data partition and encryption. You need to full wipe your data (you loose all your sdcard data, so backup as much as possible) with twrp.
I used "Format Data" under "Wipe" in TWRP.
And I tried to run the decryption zip.
Same thing.

2. Flash Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt Here DON'T REBOOT
3. Wipe Data,System,Cache Your Data will be lost

TL;DR - Tried to downgrade Android 10 Xiaomi EU to Android 9 Xiaomi EU, tried wiping the device (besides storage). I can get into TWRP and Fastboot, just won't boot OS.
Detailed:
I was running the latest Android 10 Xiaomi EU Stable Rom MIUI 11 (11.0.2) and wanted to downgrade because I had a few issues.
I reinstalled the last stable Android 10 Xiaomi EU Stable Rom for MIUI 10 (10.3.17) and it ran fine. I then realized that I wanted to be back on Android 9....
I went and tried to install Android 9 Xiaomi EU Stable Rom for MIUI 10 (10.3.16) and then ran into boot looping.
So then I got into TWRP and erased all data and then tried to copy over the old update file and realized I can't copy over anything even with MTP Enabled.
All the folders in the sdcard are random letters and numbers..
So now I can't send any files over and im stuck wondering how to fix this problem and then go over to Pixel Experience.
Send help! Please!
You messed up with encryptions... Just flash Chinese fastboot rom before pixel experience... and, as always, don't forget: DO NOT lock your bootloader ..

And I would do that by downloading which version of fastboot? Any stable one that I want to run?
Also would it be through fastboot using Mi Flash Tool or something else?
Then the pixel experience would be installed just through TWRP?
Sorry, I just don't wanna mess up.

As you want to flash pixel experience, you need to flash chinese fastboot rom, because pixel experience is based on Chinese firmware. So, by flashing Chinese you will be half way. Pick last stable pie version.. I believe is 10.3.16, don't remember...
Yes. You should use miflash tool, just don't forget: you need to select "clean all" and not "clean all and lock".
Boot into miui system once.
After that just flash twrp through normal fastboot command, as you already did in the past. Then flash PE in twrp...
Remember to boot in twrp just after flash it, if you boot into device it will be replaced by stock one...

After booting into TWRP and before flashing PE, wipe cache and dalvik, then format data. Either reboot into TWRP, or unmount and mount data, then carry on with the PE flashing.

That sounds confusing..
So after flashing the chinese fastboot and starting the phone up once to confirm its working, i boot into twrp and wipe cache+dalvik, then format all data, then restart into twrp and flash pe?
Doing that is just making sure its a clean flash and not a dirty one?

You boot into MIUI once to let it finalise the installation.
Then install TWRP and immediately boot into TWRP.
When changing ROMs you should clean flash, which normally means wiping cache, dalvik and data before installing the new ROM.
In this case it's best to format data instead, otherwise you may get problems with encryption, similar to what your seeing now.
After formatting data, TWRP sometimes has a problem seeing the data partition properly, to fix this you either reboot into TWRP or go to the mount menu and unmount data, then mount it again.
After this you copy the PE ROM onto the phone and flash it.

Are you booting into MIUI at least once after flashing it, before flashing anything else?
I've stopped doing the mount/unmount. I now always reboot back into TWRP after formatting data, seems more reliable.
In TWRP do a factory reset, then format data, then reboot back into TWRP.
After this install the ROM you want

If you want to flash something else, remove lockscreen security first before flashing. This should allow you to dirty flash an update, or clean flash a new ROM, without problems. You only need to format data when flashing over MIUI.
If you get into problems and you cannot successfully get a custom ROM working, this is when you need to flash MIUI first.
You only need to flash vendor/firmware files when the custom ROM recommends/requires a version that is different to what you currently have.

1.Install any rom
2. In recovery factory reset or change data partition to ext2 and then again back to ext4
Reboot
It will boot.

When flashing you will actually need vendor and firmware files together.
These are taken from the official MIUI fastboot ROMs. You can find them repackaged in a single flashable zip file from here.
https://downloads.akhilnarang.dev/MIUI/raphael/
Flashing one of these files in TWRP is the easiest way to go.
You can also find then repackaged as separate zip files from here
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/
This site has a much greater archive, so is good if you need an older version that you can't find in the other site. You will need to make sure you download vendor and firmware files for the same version.
You should always stick to the version that is for the region of your phone. e.g. Indian vendor and firmware for an Indian K20 Pro, etc.
Some ROMs use an OSS vendor and so this is included as part of the ROM install. In which case there is no need to flash the MIUI vendor.
When a new version of MIUI is released, vendor and firmware files might get updated, to fix a bug or to add extra functionality. In this case some custom ROM devs will include them so that they get the bug fixes or extra functionality in their ROM too. When this happens they will update the minimum vendor and firmware version requirements for their custom ROM - the version will be the actual MIUI version in which the vendor and firmware files were updated.
Where a ROM doesn't specify vendor and firmware and doesn't have an OSS vendor, then it normally implies that any version will work that is from MIUI based on the same Android version. In this case use the most recent version, which you will already have if you've kept up to date with MIUI updates.
When installing a new ROM, you will only need to flash vendor and firmware files if your current version is less than the required version of the new ROM.
