Just want to be sure before I continue.
Right now I'm on MIUI STABLE 7.3(7.3.7.0(LHOMIDD), I still want to stay on stock ROM but have root access via SuperSU, in order to have this I will unlock my phone OFFICIALLY(will i need to flash China Developer Version?).
- then Flash Cofface TWRP
- then Flash SuperSU
Finished?
My concerns - I will not be able to run MIUI Stable?
Before Flashing Super SU Flash the Alka TWRP then Backup all partitions.Then Flash the Super SU.

Hi i have a GR5 KII-L33 model (single sim), can i use any rom for kiw-l21, l22, etc. (CM13 and others)?
do i need to do extra steps? i dont want to brick my phone :silly:
Hey
make sure that you take full stock backup before flashing the ROM
use fastboot boot twrp.img to run twrp without replacing stock recovery then backup everything
after that you can flash twrp with normal command then flash cm
after flashing the ROM, you need to follow these steps here, to get your single sim working
I answered you in cm thread and here to talk more [emoji14]
And yes you can use any CM/AOSP Roms, don't mess around with stock roms

hi, just curious about the backup everything.
does TWRP backup our stock recovery partition? because you said that we have to boot twrp then backup everything. i wonder if we restore using twrp, will our old/original recovery return? i know that we can use update.app to restore stock recovery and rom.
i am new to this huawei device since i've been using htc one x and did flash custom rom also twrp. but my device is KII-L22 and keen to flash crpalmer's CM.
thanks.
So i am on the new miui using the oficial flash thing (unlocked bootloader oficialy).
The thing is i always wanted to get root and use a kernel on xda here that gives more available memory and solves some of the heating problems when charging (but i know need TWRP ofc) .
So i went to here and checked a few guides however there are many twrp's versions some of them i can't flash miui oficial roms, some of them i need installl boot.img every single time or when i want to restore backup is not just select the backup and done, i need to do something else (is a bit confusing)... so instead i decided to ask you guys directly
The question is:
- If i wanted to use oficial miui but have root and install a kernel and in future just flash the new miui rom again without any stress (just twrp -> flash-> select rom and gapps and done), no boot.img bull****, no flash another twrp etc is it possible??
(before this phone i had moto g(1st gen) and was easy as to put ONE twrp and then would be always flash rom + gapps every single time, no boot.img no firmware, worked for CM12, 12.1 and 13)
Install Alka recovery and back up all the partitions before doing anything.

Although I haven't tried it personally, the TWRP explanation guide here says the Cofface TWRP (linked on that page) automatically patches the boot.img when you flash a new ROM, which I believe solves your problem.

so this one allows me to flash new roms from Miui? without any boot.img and stuff?

Can we install any custom rom on ZCX twrp Recovery? or it only for flashing stock roms?
And Can we backup all partitions using ZCX twrp like alka?
Yes you can flash any rom through zcx twrp and plus you can backup all partition lika alka recovery.
@NVDX11 when I try flashing CM14 with ZCX I get decrypted password and then needs to do a factory reset. But with Alka I can flash the same ROM with no issues. Do I need to set certain options in ZCX to flash CM?
nope no other settings.

In Xiaomi you there isn't any TA partition so you don't have to worry about DRM keys. You can simply unlock bootloader and fastboot flash TWRP recovery and SuperSU binary via recovery to get root access.
I recommend you to unlock bootloader and flash zcx recovery and create a full nandroid backup before mounting system partition. This way you have a complete backup of the current state and you can return to it at any time.
You can install any custom ROM via recovery.
Unlocking bootloader won't void the warranty.
If you want to use marshmallow you can either flash beta MIUI ROM with/without unlocking bootloader or unlock the bootloader and flash a MM based ROM via recovery.
You can return to factory state at any time by either flashing MIUI fastboot ROM via EDL mode on locked/unlocked bootloader or by flashing fastboot ROM via fastboot mode on unlocked bootloader.

I won't recommend you to use kingroot to root the device due to following reasons:
1) I don't trust these shady chinese closed source apps that relies on software vulnerability.
2) If you've rooted by any method without unlocking bootloader you won't be able to flash "incremental" OTA updates as it verifies system partition before flashing. However, you should be able to flash MIUI full recovery ROM that'll overwrite the whole image without verifying for the changes. Unlike OTA it's usually about 1.2GB in size. There's another method to flash OTA without system image verification which involves removal of a few lines from updater-script but I haven't tested it yet on stock recovery.

1) If you want to revert back to MIUI from CyanogenMod, restore nandroid backup. But make sure to backup every partition in TWRP recovery first before any modification. And don't allow system modification on the first boot to recovery. Firstly, create a full backup and then you can flash whatever ROM you like. In case you want to switch back, restore the full backup except "firmware" partition. I suggest you to use zcx recovery. You can find more about it in the xda thread.
2) If you don't have a TWRP backup, you can revert to stock ROM by flashing MIUI fastboot ROM via pc in fastboot mode. You can do the same in EDL mode but it'll wipe everything including internal storage.
3) If you want to install MIUI beta ROM based on MM, you can do that both on a locked and unlocked bootloader. Go to en.miui.com and download the latest beta ROM, put it on your internal storage and use the updater app to install it.
4) If you do the step (3) and want to revert back to MIUI stable based on LP, then you'll face sim detection issue which can be fixed by flashing modem (NON-HLOS.bin) of the same stable ROM via fastboot on unlocked bootloader. This is a bug from Xiaomi side.
5) You can use MIUI beta ROM, actually it's more stable than MIUI stable ROM and most people prefer it over stable.
Hope that helps

Thnk you soo much bro
I am on Global stable miui 8.2.4 but for some reasons i don't like it and i wanna downgrade to 8.1.15 . I have Twrp installed and rooted . Can i flash recovery 8.1.15 rom using twrp ?
Or i need to flash a fastboot rom using twrp ?
somebody?
I have flashed stock 8.2.4.0 from 8.2.2.0 with flashfire, although I have twrp too. No problems just put the zip in right folder.
Yes you can. I have flashed both dev and stable. @jazzh mentions something about folders. TWRP doesn't really care about that.
Be warned though that flashing the official zip also replaces the recovery and there is a bug with 8.1.15 where you cannot flash TWRP back afterwards.
If you go back to 8.1.15 and want to use TWRP for flashing a custom rom simply use
fastboot boot [recovery name].img
to soft load TWRP and do all your work from there up.
Yes, that's a good advice.
I soft boot twrp whenever performing backup or updating magisk.
I just mentioned folders because flashfire is started from os and it will look into the ota folder and if it finds the zip it will offer rebooting to perform the update.
