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

Ok , So I finally was able to unlock my bootloader after getting that 50 % error, I thought that I'd flash miui 8 , so I downloaded the rom from official mi website and flashed it with twrp but for some reason I got stuck in a bootloop. I dont want to download fastboot rom as it takes a lot of time due to slow internet, so could anyone tell me how can i successfully flash a rom from twrp. I've got bot miui 8 chinese developer rom and global beta rom downloaded.
You need patched boot for normal twrp or u must use cofface twrp to flash the rom.
You cant flash stock rom via twrp without patched boot.img
And if you are flashing marshmallow rom u must know that the bootloader will lock itself again.
Why not just flash the miui.eu version? No boot image mess..

Edit : The recovery worked. Thanx.
where can I find a patched boot.img for latest chinese developer rom.Thanx for the fast reply.
Just use cofface recovery for stock roms:

I think that the Alca recovery do the same, but I haven't test it yet

Thanks. Problem solved.
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.

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:

Hey guys.
I'm using a 32/3GB kenzo with an unlocked bootloader running official rr mm.
I formatted the phone, flashed CM14 firmware, flashed the official RR nougat and GAPPS, then rebooted to system.
At this point, it started bootlooping, booting to the MI splashscreen, staying there for about half the time it usually does, before rebooting and repeating the process.
At this point, I was unable to access recovery, but was able to access fastboot and edl.
Flashing a recovery using the "fastboot flash recovery" command failed, so I assume that the partitions were corrupted.
I had to revert to MIUI by flashing through edl using MI flash, which fixed all the issues.
Can someone tell me what I did wrong?
Or should I follow the newbie guide 2.0 from the forums?
Thanks in advance to anyone who replies.

Which recovery you uaed for flashing rr n. Because you went bootloop and recovery was not able to access that means may be some problems in recovery or either in rom/gapps zip. Make sure you are flashing gapps for NOUGAT only. And use latest stable miui firmware (not cm14 zip one although may be both are same)
Try this
1. Flash zcx recovery (I recommend this, never disappointed)
2. Flash latest miui stable firmware
3. Flash rom zip
4. Flash gapps n
Boot to system
5. Then flash kernel or anything.

Thanks for the reply, I'll try it soon. Can you tell me how to get the miui stable firmware?
Should I fastboot flash latest MIUI stable before flashing the ROM or is there a MIUI firmware zip file to flash?

There is flashable zip file which is extracted from miui rom only. So both way will be good as flash latest stable miui rom and then twrp > rom zip > gapps. Or twr0 > firmware zip (search in any custom rom thread you will get one) > custom rom zip > gapps.
Only benefit of flashing firmware zip is less time consuming and less file size (around 50mb) compare to full miui rom.

unlock your bootloader again it will run without problem..
EDIT: I figured it out myself, for anyone else in the same situation: I downloaded the proper Stock Rom for my phone and just flashed it with fastboot flash, no custom recovery was needed. After that I simply flashed Lineage OS and it's working like a charm.
Hello, I recently switched back to an Android phone that's why I'm a bit rusty. I successfuly installed Resurrection Remix on my Huawei P20 Lite.
After realizing there is no Notch support I decided to go back to stock or switch to Lineage OS.
Now I have two questions:
1) On the OpenKirin page it says you need stock EMUI 8.0 before you apply one of their ROMs. Does this mean if I want to switch to Lineage OS I need to go back to stock EMUI or can I go from RR to Lineage?
2) I downloaded 'Huawei P20 Lite-ANE-LX1 8.0.0.144(C432).zip' from xda which is supposed to be the stock rom. In the instructions on here it says I need to install TWRP. However OpenKirin says their ROMs don't work with TWRP. Can I just flash the stock firmware with adb fastboot, like described in the OpenKirin FAQ?
So my question basically is, what do I have to do to go from RR with stock recovery back to stock EMUI?
im in the same problem.. my fone brick in twrp logo.... i dont know how pass this logo
You can use eRecovery to download the entire ROM, you need the stock recovery and flash it with fastboot (fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdisk.img) then go to the recovery mode and download the rom using WiFi and that's all, as advice I recomend you always make a system backup in the sdcard using TWRP. Sorry for my bad english. You can dowload the recovery here

What file did you flash in fastboot, the full-ota file?
EEa(EU) rom 10.3.3.0 update
Received it too yesterday and all is ok.
Does anyone know how to flash that update using TWRP? I have rooted my Stock ROM with TWRP, and the Update is downloaded OTA and then reboots to recovery, but TWRP obviously is unable to install it: First it doesn't ask for the password to decrypt the data partition and shows the crypted content of the partition, making it impossible to see or select the downloaded update. A reboot into recovery decrypts the data partition and shows the downloaded Update (as a ZIP) in the folder /downloaded_rom. I tried to install that ZIP from TWRP manually, but to no avail - all you get is an error message.
Edit: Forget the question. Seems the phone healed itself. The first OTA download was an update 10.3.1 to 10.3.3 with a size of around 500 MB, and that couldn't be installed. When the System Updater saw this didn't succeed, it downloaded the complete 10.3.3 Package (2,2 GB) OTA, and installed that via TWRP with no problems whatsoever. I lost Magisk, which i needed to reinstall, but other than that, everything's fine.
Edit 2: The complete package obviously also overwrites TWRP, which i had to reinstall, too.

You will need to flash Magisk immediately after the ROM to stop MIUI restoring stock recovery.
