Just had my X829 delivered and even though I asked for it to be sealed and not have their dodgy rom installed Banggood just ignored my request.
So it does not have the update option on it and can't update to stock indian rom that way. I tried installing Indian rom after renaming it update.zip via stock recovery but it states the rom failed due to it being corrupted.
I have had a look in forums but can't see how to install stock rom from vendor rubbish.
Thanks in advance.
Edit...
I just installed TWRP instead and flashed it that way as nothing would install on the installed recovery.

I buy the Le X829 on AliExpress and have the same problem, I get the vendor ROM 5.8.016s and want to install the stock version Indian I guess the 5.8.019s but renaming to update.zip doesn't work and I don't know what to do
Can you help me?

Just follow guide here to unlock bootloader and install twrp recovery then install Indian rom with twrp. No need to rename it either. Once installed wipe data before restart and away you go.

If you can reach twrp, then wipe everything, install stock ROM by OTG.
If you only can access fast-boot and recovery mode then I think you need to follow this thread
because if you don't have OS installed then you can't run twrp.

Sometimes twrp said no is installed but it was and it booted normally. Stock installs fine in twrp.
Sold mine though as could not get on with 4 hrs sot. Got a lenovo p2 now and get 14 hrs sot lol. And even though is only an sd 625 it's that well optimised and running stock nougat I can't tell that it's slower than the max 2.
Here's the detailed guide to Remove Vendor ROM and install Stock ROM
Follow the steps in this guide and you will be able to get rid of the Restrictive Vendor ROM... Your Le Max 2 will have Stock ROM with Update Option:

Hi
I've ordered the redmi note 2 and would like to install a custom rom on it when I receive it. Can somebody tell me what the easiest method to root the phone and install TWRP is? There seems to be so many different ways and I'm finding it abit confusing. Also do I need to unlock the bootloader before rooting?
Thanks

Flashed a china dev rom was an easier way without using PC. But first to need to wipe your phone. Then installed flashify to flash twrp.img. With twrp, you can flashed any compatible rom you like.
for the redmi note from the wife who only needed root I used Kingroot
And I wanted root and TWRP so I used Windroid toolkit
thanks for the replies. Windroid seems pretty straightforward, I'll give that a go once I get my phone.
You can flash xiaomi.eu latest ROM and you'll get TWRP 3.0. For root you can flash any SuperSU official zip using TWRP

that says TWRP needs to be installed before that rom can be flashed?

Yes that one..
"Our ROMs now contains TWRP which will install it automatically and overwrite your MiRecovery (If you still use it)"
"Version 6.2.25 still can be installed via MiRecovery but it will overwrite it to TWRP"
I use xiaomi.eu ROM/Based ROM's because it has my language
ah ok, thanks mate
So I tried updating via updateer with the rom from xiaomi.eu but that failed it said something about the file signature. So I tried the windroid method, the computer picked up the device no problem and it was weorking well. I flashed TWRP and Super SU and completely wiped everything on the phone. Now I'm trying to sideload a rom using windroid, but when I go to the ADB sideload option in TWRP it just stays stuck on "starting ADB sideload feture..." Windroid seems to recognise that the device is in sideload mode but I can't flash anything as it just stays stuck.
Any ideas?
Never mind, my PC picked up the phone while it was in recovery and I was able to just copy the rom file over
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.

Is there any way to flash miui through twrp instead of miflash?
Yeah. The same way as any other ROM.
downloaded zip from miui site and ended up with errors like firmware not found while installing in twrp

:/ Give us the link to what you downloaded. Flashing through TWRP works just fine here.
Did you guys see the no os installed message?
no os installed message was there and it ended in a bootloop.When tried to format again vibrated and bootlooped
You have to use Lazy Flasher: h++p://c.mi.com/thread-31082-1-1.html
Alternatively you could use this fix: h++p://xiaomitips.com/guide/how-to-repack-miui-fastboot-image/
It works just fine. I flashed stock miui using twrp yesterday. Make sure to flash recovery rom not fastboot rom

Guys
Download Miui update in zip file and flash via recovery.
It doesn't revert to stock recovery and keeps your twrp along with root intact.

i don't have custom recovery, my device back to stock recovery
i tried downgrade with mi flash and step by step from websites but error, tried flash from recovery but it changed, there are 3 options
- restart
- wipe data
- contact mi assistant
no option install update.zip, also from device and check software update, no option to choose install update
everything changed, stupid update, i don't feel any good change
i think developer will take long time to root new update and use custom recovery
no downgrade work, no one try

Why don't you try installing recovery using fastboot method and then flash magisk 20.1 zip through recovery.
Please check if bootloader is still unlocked before trying this.

i tried using fastboot (mi flash tool) but error, tried another step in same app but show error
the new update changed everything, no one can downgrade from 11 to 10, i don't know why ??
from 10 to 8 you can downgrade without any problem, 11 you can't do anything
solved
finally i made it and back again to miui 10
best program for use xiaomitool
flash anything with 2-3 steps

thanks for highlighting issues with Magisk 20.1!
I used 20.0 and everything works
Any one using using gcam on miui 11?
I have a pocophone f1 which I attempted to root.
I already unlocked it using my MI account with MI unlocker on windows.
I installed TWRP 3.2, as well as SupersU.zip in TWRP.
I go and check root access using various root checker apps from playstore but i have no root access. One of them says that my supersu $Path does not contain a binary.
I tried uninstalling superSu using the supersSu uninstaller.zip in TWRP and then attempted flashing magisk, but i got the error about patched boot image. I wiped everything and then flashed stock global ROM for miui 11. Still i get the patched boot image when trying to flash magisk.
Any ideas?

Just uninstall SuperSU root and root again with magisk! There is unroot option in the SuperSU app which you have to use or:

It's clear that something has gone very wrong. Instead of wasting time with troubleshooting, I recommend that you restore the phone to its original state via re-flashing its Stock ROM and when that's done retry to root its Android the proper way.
FYI: Once TWRP got installed on phone, you can't get rid off of it unless you re-flash phone's Stock ROM.

You don't have to disable encryption to use magisk. Atleast I think from my experience.
This is the step-by-step tutorial.
1. Flash this global stock miui with TWRP. https://c.mi.com/in/miuidownload/detail?device=1700355 (if this is not the official ROM please correct me, there are a lot of fakes there)
2. Flash Magisk with TWRP. Download and flash it from this github repo. DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT FROM ANYWHERE ELSE!
