Do you have a custom ROM now?

Yes, I have lineage os

You should be fine, just wipe data, cache and dalvik-cache before or after installing the new ROM (before the first boot of the new ROM). If it is bootlooping you can always flash the stock ROM again and flash the custom ROM afterwards.

Ok thanks

Basically no, though it might be the case with some ROMs.

How to reinstall miui from custom rom

Does anyone have tutorial to reflash miui ? im using custom rom epicrom (miui based) but i want using miui again but i dont know how to flash miui at twrp
or should i use custom rom flash method for flashing miui? and do i need lazyflasher?
Hi,
Go to miui web en.Miui . Com, on the top click to download, select your device, then version (global, china, mtk),then click to flashing guide and select fastboot update.
Download a rom you want (stable or weekly) for your device.
Download miui flashing app on the same link.
Extract the rom you have download, the extract extracted file again and you will get a lot of files. Then follow step 3 and the rest of manual.

Its as same as installing any other custom rom, so firstly head over to http://en.miui.com/download.html
and from there get the build you want. If possible keep it on an external storage media, since you may need to format data.
Please note that if you are coming from LOS/ AOSP based roms, you have to format data, and clean wipe your device, and everytime you flash dont forget to flash the lazy flasher also.

Flashing over custom kernel

Hello guys, I'm on custom AEX treble build with Franco kernel.
My question is: can I flash other custom ROMs over custom kernel or will I have to go back stock kernel before flashing other treble build?

I am going to assume that you are going to do a clean flash/factory reset (deleting apps and their data). When you flash a rom it flashes a kernel so custom kernel is gone.
Although you didn't ask I will state it anyways. If you are trying different custom kernels you need to flash back to the roms original kernel before flashing a new kernel.

Can't flash any rom

Hello, I have one big problem with my mate 10 lite
The problem is, when i flash twrp everything is okay, but when i try to flash any custom rom - I always have bootloop, on every custom :/
I tried to use eRecovery to install stock but it ends in the same way - bootloop
What can I do?
I really wanted to switch for custom...
Try using 338 stock rom and then install custom rom.

You can install other custom ROMs even if you are already on a custom ROM. The thing is all steps indicated
in custom ROM threads, ask you to wipe, and format so already they are cleaning necessary things, before actual
installation (flashing) step starts. But the cleaning is not like a proper clean i.e. done by stock recovery, so if you want
to install a new custom ROM, its better to first install Stock recovery, then wipe/format, then install TWRP, and proceed
with new Custom ROM installation.
If any thing does not work for you, then install ur stock ROM, and then install the new custom ROM ur interested in.

I reckon you must have missed some step, as I did tried most of the ROMs shared in this mate 10 lite
section of XDA forums. Specially the part after installation which says to flash Stock recovery n give it a wipe/format that makes the ROM installation proper, later you can install custom recovery.
For stock ROM, HuruUpdater works with TWRP, try one version of HuruUpdater, if it does not work change your
custom recovery to some other custom recovery (other TWRP, you will find many in this forum), and eventually
one of them will work for u. Still, it doesnt work, change the HuruUpdater version to an earlier version, and repeat
the process.

There is no best recovery that will work in every possible situation (e.g. Stock ROM flashing, Custom ROM flashing, backup/restore etc.). So for each custom ROM u better use the recovery that is indicated in that custom ROM thread.

Installing a rom without recovery

Hi everyone, I want install a new custom ROM (I'm on CrDroid 7.6 on Android 11) but I can't boot into recovery. I tried to flash a new recovery but i get this message from fastboot "(remote: '(recovery_b) No such partition')".
I've always installed custom OS using a custom recovery but it seems that that there is no recovery partition on Android 11 ?
Do I have to flash the boot partition with the custom rom .zip directly ?

You need to:
1. root
2. flash custom recovery
3. flash rom
To flash the recovery you use "fastboot flash boot recovery.img" ?
Do I need to flash both partition ?

This phone have a/b partion system. The recovery partition is present or phone will not boot. Install a rom via fastboot is possible but it's not safe. In every custom rom thread you can find los recovery and how to install procedure. Read with accuracy. Open the section kernel and custom rom. I suggest you pixel experience
Thank you ! The PixelExperience thread got a nice procedure on how to flash it.
I'll try to flash this ROM tomorrow to test it.
If this is successful I'll try other ROM without Gapp included and with official release, any suggestion ?

Ah ok! If you don't use Gapps... I suggest you try latest nezuko. The system UI is cool

Yeah nezuko and corvus seems pretty good, I would rather use a popular ROM like lineage but those ROM looks very promising
Corvus is fantastic... With some optimization made with root... In my opinion is the best at now. For performance, stability and systemUI
