Mi 8 Global can't install any custom ROM

Hi, sorry for bad English.
I'm having trouble installing Custom ROMs on my Mi 8 Global. Any custom rom I install, after reboot on TWRP, the mobile does not start, it only stays on the fastboot screen or returns to the TWRP.
I already unlocked the bootloader, ADB ON, drivers installed on PC, TWRP OK, all neededs WIPEs ...
I can only install the STOCKs ROMs. I think the problem is when doing FLASH in the ROMs. It may be that I can only install ROM by Fastboot, but by Recovery not.
In the TWRP LOG, there is not a single error after installing the ROMs, always success.
I follow all the tutorials, but never start the system after installing by recovery.
Another thing I noticed is that when I install the custom rom, if I go in the TWRP file browser and go there in the SDCard folder, the files do not appear as it usually gets, such as the "Android" folder for example.
I've had several Androids since the Galaxy Y time and I've never had this problem.
Any idea?

I have the same problem as you, and my rom is only 10gb. Other roms can't recognize it. How do you solve this problem?

You have to format data via typing "yes", it is not wiping data, it is button in twrp. After that everything gonna be ok.

maybe you should flash a miui based on android pie （globe developer version）
then use the latest twrp recovery （both wzsx and black pitch is ok）

No, not a tip has solved the problem. Yesterday I spent all day trying different things, searching in several sites but nothing works. I'll have to settle for the ROM stock.

I had the same problem installing pixel experience you need to flash stock fastboot rom via miflash be careful, do not select the relock option, then install twrp, wipe system, caches and data and install your custom rom It worked for me.

i had same problem. and this format data has worked with "miui_MI8Global_8.12.20_c7a9af8587_9.0" i can flash it. phone working now but i will change rom tomorrow again.. i guess it will be brick in a couple days

Problem solved!
Sorry bad english, translated by Google Translate ...
Now I've been able to install custom ROMs. :laugh:
I tested Havok and Pixel Experience.
I'll speak the steps I did:
1 - Install the Stock Pie: MIUI Global Stable 10.1.2.0 (dipper_global_images_V10.1.2.0.PEAMIFI_20181211.0000.00_9.0_global_0099f5af5f)
Install with XiaomiMiFlash, at the bottom, check the option "Clean All".
NO INSTALL ON TWRP MODE.
2 - Start the system normal and make ADB ON
3 - Make Root
4 - Start the system normal again
5 - Install TWRP: recovery-TWRP-3.2.2-0711-XIAOMI8-CN-wzsx150 (use this version)
6 - WIPE > Advanced> System, Data, Cache
7 - Flash ROM: PixelExperience_dipper-9.0-20190111-2226-OFFICIAL
8 - Reboot System
9 - Ready!
10 - Optional Step (*recommended*) - Go again in TWRP and Wipe > System, Data, Cache, Internal Storage > Flash ROM > Reboot.
After this procedure I was able to install custom roms without problems.

Flash the full fastboot ROM and yes TWRP would be overwritten.
Providing it is STOCK TWRP and not any port with features such as (agressive stock recovery disable)

Is that a fastboot ROM, not a OTA package right? Should be 1.2gb plus

Not a fastboot

Extract it and look for a recovery.img file.
If it is there you can flash that in twrp and get stock recovery.

oof enough with the modesty xd
My name is fine enough
But No problem

The method of flashing the ROM from recovery did not work, my phone became dead, it entered EDL mode, and I could not get out of this situation, and I could not enter the fast boot, and I bought another phone and flashed the orange fox recovery and I got the same problem again, the phone entered EDL mode, why the phone crashes quickly

Question Can't Roll Back

I updated to MIUI 13 from miui.EU and now I can not go back to an older ROM even with full data formatting. I am seemingly stuck on this ROM. I really don't like it. Is there any way to go back?

Flash the older rom using fastboot method and necessary files.
Download the fastboot files from here: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/
look up a "how to unbrick xiaomi" tutorial to learn how to flash a rom via fastboot

I just back to MIUI 12.5 EU from MIUI 13 EU, and I don't have problem

Did you've installed TWRP?
Then factory reset in twrp
Boot TWRP again
format data with yes.
Boot TWRP again
Flash fw and vendor if MIUI or not if oss
Flash rom
Flash magisk or not
Format data again with yes
Boot system
In my opinion this should work with every recovery rom

Of course it won't, because the flash_all.bat has a couple lines in the beginning that have anti-rollback, you have to modify it with notepad, just open with notepad and delete those lines, then save it and flash normally.

Which lines? When I tried that, it would not start.

I did it, it won't work.

I think I fixed it I took the fastboot script out of the miui 13 update and put it in the folder for the miui 12 fastboot. It stared the old boot logo. It is started now. I hope it is stable. Thank you all for the help and suggestions.

fix reboot to recovery

hi all , once wrongfully flashed rom and flashed correct one later and the device worked perfect except an isuue , everytime i flash rom (custom or stock) and make reboot to system it goes to twrp interface , teried using odin but shows me stock recovery
.
.any idea how to get this fixed ?
thank you all

Hello rose, can you re-explain your concern, I don't really understand.
In my opinion you forgot to do something before or after, you followed the tutorial from the XDA forum.

well , frankly i did something stupid , i flashed wrong boot.img using twrp , the device works but
1- if shut down , can turn it up only with cable to pc pluged
2- every time i flash rom and make reboot , it goes directly to twrp interface ( goes only to recovery mode) no matter what the rom is

Hello rosen, at the beginning once you have installed TRWP and magisk it works or not normal start you did not make a backup with TRWP backup. , if not forget TRWP and do as I did just magisk .
Yes to start with twrp recovery you have to connect to a pc and manipulate power + bixby + high volume.

What? You not have stock kernel? For root Android and TWRP you not need custom kernel.
For root stock Android you need patch AP file with Magisk, patch TWRP with magidsk and vbmeta.
I did it like this: #2,724
Without patch TWRP with Magisk you not can have root Android and TWRP. You can have only root Android or TWRP.
