Hi everyone,
a quick question.
I am running a:
RN3 Pro SD Kenzo
8.0.6.0 Global Stable firmware ( Lollipop ), unofficial unlock
ZCX TWRP
... yeah, I am still on Lollipop. Reason is that this firmware, at the time of flashing, proved to be the most stable, so I kept it. It still is the best Xiaomi firmware I tested, out all of them, but now, I would like to test out Lineage OS
What would be the fastest way for me to flash the latest Lineage OS on this phone, while keeping the bootloader unlocked?
Can I just wipe the phone, add Lineage and GApps and flash it through recovery?
make sure you have downloaded latest firmware, LOS rom & gapps....next steps is backup your current rom & go flashing.
twrp > wipe > wipe dalvik, system, data & cache > install latest firmware > install LOS rom > install gapps > reboot > done
here is firmware you have needed
Thank you for taking the time to assist me.
Firmware link is not working, sadly.
... so, basically, if I get this right:
1. boot into my TWRP
2. wipe dalvik/system/data/cache
3. after wiping is done, flash/install the latest CM 14.1 firmware without rebooting, select wipe
4. after firmware finishes flashing/installing, flash/install LOS ( without rebooting ), select wipe
5. after that, flash/install GApps, select wipe
6. reboot, and that's it?
Any special steps I should take to keep my unofficial bootloader unlock, or that does not matter with LOS?

Do I flash latest stable or developer firmware in step 3?

sorry...find it here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/cm14-14-1-aosp-n-firmware-kenzo-kate-t3507789
that is right...follow my instructions & no need to worrie about bootloader
Thank you for the link. But, the firmware you provided the link for is only around 46MB. Is that right?
Thank you for the asistance. Everything is flashed, and working.
Additional step I had to do was to flash the camera fix from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...niversal-camera-binary-patch-kenzo-n-t3572779
... and done.
Now, as for the root access, only option I have available through Developer options is root through ADB. Do I download the root package from here:
https://download.lineageos.org/extras
... or is there another method for RN3Pro SD LineageOS?
Downloaded LOS root package. I am set

Hello Friends,
After a lot of search and read I am confused. What is complete set of steps required to flash MM rom (non Miui)? What precautions I should take since I unlocked unofficially?
My needs for daily driver is
Good battery life
Working GPS
Working Camera
Root (for titanium backup and adblock)
Current status
Unlocked - UNOFFICIALLY
Recover - ALKA
Rom - Miui LP Global stable
Security - Fingerprint + Pin
Steps I have collated so far
* Remove pin and delete fingerprints
* Do I need to do something about encryption ?
* Goto recovery
** Should I flash another recovery ??
** Nandroid backup
** Wipe cache/dalvik/data/system
** Flash
**** CM13 Firmware
**** Rom (Example RR 5.7.4)
**** Kernel (Example Radon)
**** Gapps
** Clear Dalvik
** Reboot
If fingerprint issue
* Goto recovery
** Flash
**** Goodix Fp8 ( First check if Goodix)
**** Kernel
** Wipe Dalvik
** Reboot
Thanks for your inputs on above. Please also suggest MM rom suitable for my needs.
I'd suggedlst you use Cyanogenmod 13 by TheStrix.
All are stable, I haven't encountered any issues.
What you need to do
-Phone's bootloader needs to be unlocked
-Flash CM13 Firmware (if you're coming from MIUI8, no need to flash this)
-Flash CM13 ROM (Snapshot)
-Flash GAPPS
-Flash Radon Kernel latest version. (I recommend you to usre Radon Kernel because the stock kernel has battery reading issues, it decreases by 2%)

Thanks.
* I'm at MIUI 8 but Lollypop .. so if I get you correctly, I need not flash CM13 firmware.
* Another query - is there no extra precaution required for Unofficial unlock and no need to use any other TWRP?

I had a problem with unofficially unlocking maybe because the unofficial unlock requires to flash Lollipop Global ROM and I was running MM. What I did is find a way that requires to flash MM Dev ROM to unlock. Maybe you won't have a problem if you're gonna flash it using Dev ROM.

Thanks.
I think since mine is unofficial then Step 3 requires removal of emmc_appsboot.mbn before flashing. Also I will need to remove recovery.img from the miui rom to avoid TWRP being overwritten
I get the idea that we need to flash miui mm rom first so that partitions are created. But doesn't that can be taken care by flashing CM13 firmware?

did u know how to remove emmc_appsboot or replace that ? is the recovery rom will replace the TWRP if flash the rom recovery ?
yup is better to flash miui mm first and unlocked bootloader, CM13 is to old and didnt get update firmware today, so i didnt flashed CM13 Firmware.
why didnt unlock officialy ?
*sorry my english is not really good*

I think recovery rom will update both bootloader and recovery, if those files are not removed
See guys, we do not have an option to install stock C675 if everything is wiped. ( I mean to say something equivalent to EFS partition where imei resides ). Then what best can be done here is get your device working in Lineage and try some apn creation fixes which I'll post below for Volte. If it works, well and good. If it does not, we need to wait and swap sims till we get the official stock system.img and boot as well as recovery ramdisk out from a dev or Honor's side. They do not have it in their database and so its difficult for them too to install it from scratch as they need every rom partition and in the treble devices, its a different way than samsung's odin or Mi's flashtool.
Now follow the exact steps below which I did and got a working device :
Things to download :
Berkley TWRP Official, Lineage OS - [ 1. system.img from Garbage folder. (Latest) , 2. ROM zip to update the ROM to latest from TWRP later.] , Stock Recovery from XDA, Luk's Gapps.
1. Install Berkley Official TWRP latest one from XDA thread (with NO mod) through fastboot.
2. Always use the button combination (power+vol up) to boot to twrp as soon as it gets flashed and you remove the wire.
3. Once it boots, wipe data, system,cache. After that, go to "Format data" option in TWRP and format it. (Its different than wipe)
4. Restart in TWRP.
5. Go to fastboot mode from TWRP and flash stock recovery through fastboot by using ramdisk command.
6. Flash system.img which you downloaded through fastboot and then as soon as it gets installed, do not boot it and instead go to stock recovery from button combination and click on factory data reset. Once done, let your phone boot.
7. Once you boot, setup your phone and flash TWRP Image through fastboot again. (Do not wipe anything on that.)
8. Once flashed just boot to TWRP and flash Lineage 15.1 "zip" as well as gapps through ADB sideload or USB drive. Do it one by one, first OS zip and then reboot to TWRP and do the same process for Gapps zip. Just make sure, you do not wipe anywhere after step - 4.
9. If you follow the exact process, you get a working ROM.
Credits : I would like to thank Luke for Lineage 15.1 . If we are midway, we have no other option to go back to C675 and this is the only option mentioned above to get a Bug free device other than Volte and camera. For camera, there are stock ones available for Magisk.
my poco F1 will be arriving soon. 1st thing i'll do is install this ROM! just want to clarify a few things before i go ahead - so i don't mess things up... is this right, do i need to add any more steps (or even lose some)
1. unlock bootloader
2. install latest twrp with decryption
3. flash developer MIUI? (pretty sure i've read this is required coming from stable)
4. wipe everything
5. flash LOS
6. flash magisk
have i missed anything? is developer MIUI any beta version?
sorry for noobish questions, it's been a while since i've flashed anything!!!
from someone elses comment in another thread...
'I started from stable miui: unlock bootloader, flash recovery vasishath, reboot in twrp, wipe cache, dalvik, system and data, flash rom, gapps, magisk, wipe dalvik / cache, reboot system'
may help someone else too

You dont have to flash developer miui after installing twrp just wipe
hello,
so I was just wondering is it safe to flash MIUI 10 global rom with twrp? I know that it will probably replace the twrp with stock recovery, but it is easily fixed. I had to restore old backup and right now I'm on MIUI beta rom but with beta roms being shut down starting from 1st july, I just want to convert to the latest MIUI global rom which is avilable here on thier offical site and it is called Version: V10.3.4.0.PEJMIXM (MIUI10)
so again my question:
1. is it safe to flash this rom with TWRP?
2. will i need fastboot zip file if I choose to flash with TWRP?
3. or can I just download the normal zip and flash it through local update feature? please take note that twrp is installed on my phone
so that's all.. thanks for your time:good:

No,I recommend downloading the full (recovery) rom and flashing it in twrp, and then flashing the 'Disable Force Encryption' zip and later magisk if needed.., wipe dalvik cache & reboot
This way you don't lose twrp or anything else on your phone

Hi ethanks for your reply. What do you mean by full rom? Does twrp allow flashing miui global roms just like any other custom roms?

Of course it does..
I'm talking about the full rom also called as recovery rom (Example :-
https://en.miui.com/getrom-355.html?m=yes&mobile=2
Visit this link to see the latest miui stable & beta ROMs for Poco f1, both of them are full ROMs aka recovery ROMs of the latest miui for Poco f1
1) I assume you have already unlocked bootloader etc..
First you have to have the essential files i.e the rom zip file you want to install, disable Force Encryption zip file, Magisk zip file (All files links will be available in the main Poco f1 thread)
2) Next you boot into twrp (Power + volume up button)
Next select install, navigate to the downloaded rom zip file and swipe to flash (DONT reboot after flash, click back)
3) Now again select install & now flash the disable Force Encryption zip file (This is very important & should be done during every rom flashing)
4) Next go back & flash Magisk for root
5) Wipe dalvik cache and reboot

Did you flash stable rom ?
And did you erase the data or internal storage?
I am on beta as well and have unlocked bootloader and twrp & magisk installed with Force encryption Disabled.
I want to switch to 10.3.5.0 Stable ROM.
But I don't know whether to erase Data partition or not.

1) Use migrate app from play store to take a backup of current phone app data, the backup is stored in a flashable zip format
2) Next boot to twrp, choose wipe and select davlik, cache, system, data later follow my steps in my previous comment to flash new rom
3) Set up phone etc, Make sure Magisk is installed properly
4) Next boot into twrp & flash the migrate zip file located in migrate folder, reboot after flashing, you will get a notification about migrate backup once rebooted, open it and restore everything or select choose to restore for selective restore of data
Hi !
My Mi note 10 Lite is running on DotOS 5.1.1 (Official) and I want to update to 5.1.3. The updated has been released on the official servers but the internal updater don't work. It says that my phone is incompatible with this version, but on the website, the rom is avaliable.
My question is : Is it possible to flash the rom without losing any data ? If yes, is it "safe" ? Which version should I flash for the update ? The vanilla or Gapple one ?
Thanks !
I think you can dirty flash like it is explained on the rom's thread :
DIRTY FLASH
1. Download the latest dotOS for toco
2. Reboot to Android 11 Vendor TWRP or OrangeFox recovery
3. Flash Rom
4. Wipe Cache & Dalvik Cache
5. Reboot
Backup your data in any case to be safe
