Rooted my Viewpad 7
I created with the adb shell backups, no problem there.
I now have 12 img files saved on my SD card.
boot.img, recovery.img sytem.img and more.
But before I go wild on installing other roms I like to know how to restore those *.img files.
I don't want to install cwrecovery before I know how to fix things in case something goes wrong.
TIA
Install rom just like u install window. If your hardware's not has a problem. U can re-install it anytime you want. Just u backup and synchronize your bookmark and private data. It's not difficult like the other said in board. I'm install new rom everyday for fine the best's rom for myself. JUST DO IT. cwrecovery is the best.

On all the threads here I read that I need (before I do anything else) make a backup of my stock rom with adb, but I can't find how to restore those, nobody seems to know
I don't want to overwrite (flash) my current stock restore partition with cwrecovery before I know how restore to the original rom manually.

What's your HWver and SWver (along with Build/OS info) for this rooted VPAD7? Check it via FTM mode & let us know - and does it use the latest/new ITE hardware?
If yours doesn't have ITE and has an earlier built, Viewsonic's website has both the firmwares (*.zip files) and utilities (SUTL3 xxx) to reflash & fully restore it to stock, rooted conditions in case one of the custom ROM resulted in a "soft" brick. CWR does NOT work with *.img files in restoring and it's a problem especially with newer build/ITE hardware & I have yet to find a stock zip file for mine, but I did saved a rooted version with CWR based on the stock build that I've restored successfully with CWR. One of our fellow XDA geeks here is working on the 2 *.img files and should be posting a beta one soon.
The stock ROM based on Froyo 2.2.2 is very good - rooted so I can use Astro, ES File Manager & Titanium Backup, etc., IMO and the Froyo Enhanced (non-OC) works nicely (OS 2.2.1) on mine too - both could benefit from more tweaking especially with the status bar/interface & launcher, etc. But, neither of them are loaded with bloatware or junks - so you might just want to stick with the stock ones as this is still a relatively "small" circle of users "pushing" the boundaries.
Good luck & have a nice day - hope this helped !

My stock rom seems to be very good also, for now I'll stick to that one but will play a bit with it to see what can be done to remove some software and make more room via an ext3 partition.
Still not sure what to do with the image files I created, it seems they are quite useless.
Thanks again

Based on what I read & seen, your VPAD is one of the earlier/est one so it's unlikely to come with ITE hardware, so nearly all of the custom ROM here should easily install without any problems at all using CWR.
Mine is 3.41 - FM6-0001 - 107 and OS 2.2.2 with ITE, and under "About phone" in Settings - Baseband PR3.7_125, Kernel 2.6.32.9 and Build 1008_3.350
SUTL3_v1.7.9.zip is the newer of 2 installer to flash the ROM - probably FM6-316Q*.nb0 being the closest one to yours (FM6-3310*.nb0 should be a newer one) Not sure what that SW*VSI.zip file is for but I got an error when trying to open/unzip it - bad d/l or corrupted ?? Both 316R & 3310 flashed successfully to my VPAD7 but since I got ITE, I cannot use it since the touchscreen with Android is frozen - yours should work with it as long as hardware isn't ITE.
I do not have enough info to help with the Dutch language question as my current Froyo Enhanced ROM only showed English, French & Spanish as choices - perhaps someone else running stock/OEM rom can help check theirs for you.
As for the stock ROM itself, I used TB to identify & freeze/uninstall some of them safely as I never used them - but to truely free up internal storage/memory, d/l and use App2SD to Ext3 partition - it DOES make a great deal of difference. If you have a spare mSD card (4 GB size will do nicely for experimental purposes, done it with 2 GB myself) - using CWR to reformat & create 3rd ext partition, moved the saved files/zips/apks back to it - reboot once the initial setup/installations are finalized & stablized - and enjoy ! With over 35 apps moved, I still get about 60MB free up ....
Agreed about those saved *.img files - except for those with the "kitchen" tools to take it apart & rebuild ....
I'm going to use TB to uninstall some apps, I think I'm going to find a faster SD card to try an Ext3 partition, probably that will help to keep the VP7 running as fast and smooth as it does now, great device
Thanks again for you help
I have been reading all the info on rooting,flashing,backup, and recovery.
Please tell me if I understand this correctly:
My viewpad details are as follows:
Android 2.2.1
Basebandversion PR3.7_125
Kernel version Apps_2.6.32.9
Build 1008_3_240
Manufactured 12/02/2011
Swver 3.240
Model FM6-001
Hwver 107
I am correct in assuming this is an ite version and if I root there currently is no stock unrooted rom available to unroot if I need to?

Most likely, yours is ITE hardware. BTW, what country/region are you in - the Americas, Asia or Europe b/c stock ROMS available for one region or zone might/should work in another, depending on locales & language requirements .... WiFi issues experienced by some users could, I feel / suspect, be related partially to radio bands intended for region/zone x being flashed and used in region/zone y.
I believe that at least one of the recent stock/factory ROMs cited in the development subforum is for ITE/new pads.
Welcome abroad & cheers

Thanks nice to be here.
I am from the Caribbean so I guess that would be the Americas.
My only complaint with this device is the available space so wanted to root to install something like link2sd. Might not even need a custom ROM if that works out.
In my parts these devices aren't cheap/reasonable so just want to make sure there is a fall back stock ROM in case I need to return for warranty repairs.
Most of the current ROMs seem to be for non ITE devices. Any hopes that there will be more ITE custom ROMs anytime soon an o/c one for a little speed boost would be nice.
Regards

The stock ROM isn't loaded with bloatware & with 3G unlocked, the device is fine for non-power, speed freaks chasing the latest dual core CPU, LOL - but, it's easy to fill up internal space & memory. Without rooting, it's difficult to load & experiment with A2SD, do Titanium Backup & use ES File Manager or Astro - but even stock ROM has full access to Google Market, so it's pretty cool.
Agreed on high prices down in the islands & even worst in the Bermudas and with little to no competition, unless one can bring them back from mainland USA and not have to pay import duties.
I've tested just about every available custom ROM floating around - Amalgation's EU v1.7 ITE ROM is what I use, it's responsive & adapted for ITE, 3G worked on AT&T and T-Mobile's GSM network + WiFi, and managed to install DT's A2SD on it, so it freed up lots of space & memory - using a 16GB mSD card.
As for overclocking, it's difficult if not impossible to do it without the ITE device driver, contacted tech. support & requested them - haven't heard a word from them, so not hopeful - without it, the handful of developers around won't be able to do anything.
Thanks for your help So one last question:
When I root can I restore to stock unrooted with any of these Roms found here :
vsg.viewsonic.com/ViewPad7 (sorry I'm not allowed to post links)
Just in case I need to return for warranty repairs.
Thanks

The newest one in the link is for ITE and if I recall, based on EU rom, and should be good for your device (for flashing back to stock, if ever needed, using the SUTL3 utility as it need the image to be in *.nb0 format and not an update.zip)
Yes, use either One Click v1.7 (newer ones not always work) method or Gingerbreak apk (which I find easier) to root & install CWM Recovery - once you do that, before doing anything else - do a Backup of your stock ROM first, it will be saved on the mSD card (and, to the PC or usb/portable hdd device) - before doing anything else.
If you are using both 3G & WiFi for data access, make a note of your settings (including under the wireless/advanced tab - check that your MAC address is shown).
Your saved CWM image files can be restored - returning it to near stock condition, except for rooting. If you feel comfortable enough at that point, do a Restore from CWM after a full wipe, then let it reboot & viola - you "stock" rom again.
AFAIK, newer ITE hardware-based vpad7 have 3 custom ROM to work with -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264647
Froyo Enhanced is nice & simple, very close to stock with a few Apps gone to make room, simple to flash & setup and WiFi working, a good starting point to try & fall back upon.
TJ's FM6 is designed for OC kernel and non-ITE rom, but with a patched kernel, will work - a bit more challenging to setup, but it's just as stable.
EU'v latest V1.7 ITE rom is my personal ROM of choice for daily use, very stable & smooth, responsive - developer is working toward a final release, due out soon. It support App2SD for ext3 with CWM Recovery, not as simple to get everything working together - but it does, patience needed. AND, the backup ROM is very important in case something didn't go "right" - sometimes, another pass with flashing the zip will get it, or, just restore to earlier known working version as saved.
Should be tons of fun & hours of flashing, sit back, read & take notes of steps - brew up a nice cup of coffee or tea, and enjoy the challenge - this isn't the faster Galaxy tablets, but for it's designed for - it's great (Flash 10.x not really going to work, just stay away - I still enjoy YouTube on it ....) Once configured & logged into Google Market, the newest update will be shown & downloaded, so don't worry about missing a few Apps as it's full access to nearly everything, free & paid.
Cheers !
Thanks for all the information. Spent the last few days doing a lot of reading. Ready to jump in.
The Froyo 2.2 Enhanced I notice the link was taken down by developer pending a newer version with better ITE support. Do you have a copy that works with the ITE hardware?
Found a link for superoneclick here: megaupload.com/?d=7S2CI6OY is that the correct version? Couldn't find any link to 1.7 in forums.

Hmm, oh yes - I read that a while ago, use this link to download - it worked for me with ITE hardware. There is no need to patch or use a different kernel. Just backup your original rom & test it by restoring first, do a full system/cache/dalvik wipe - then flash it, reboot for 1st. time, set it up past the activation screen, and enjoy.
http://www.multiupload.com/C3BM5IVRXJ
Your discovery is correct, the older SOC v1.7 to achieve root from shortfuse - user experience varied, some find it easy & others find it difficult.
Here's link to Gingerbreak v1.2 - please read the info/page & notes - alternative to SOC v1.7 just in case.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
Either one of them could trigger antivirus/firewall warnings & alerts, it's typical depending on what you use - turn them OFF while rooting - once you get it done, you can switch them all ON again.
Just checked my email account used for various tech. support request, still no reply or release of ITE device drivers for the pad, NOT good - without it, developers will find it ---- to get OC kernel, etc.
Definitely no Ice Cream Sandwich for our device, not even Honeycomb, I'm afraid .... oh, well - we make the best use of what we got !

The backup you are referring too is a NANDROID backup with CWR or do I backup the individual partitions to *.img files. As I understand it there i currently no way to restore the *.img files is that correct or have I misunderstood? Additionally is there any point to create these image files.
Regards
Use CWM Recovery to create Nandroid backup of your existing stock ROM, just in case - restoring it will bring it as close to rooted stock "condition" as possible. Flashing the *.nb0 file with SUTL3 will unroot it & make the pad 100% back to stock. It only take a few extra minutes and will sit on the mSD card just in case it's needed.
Under CWM Recovery's Advanced Menu (I'm on v5.x that work with A2SD and ext3 partition) - you can selectively go back in, highlight & restore, say, the recovery.img file after flashing a ROM (which has the working non-OC stock kernel) - which is the patch needed to work with TJ Style's ROM.
I'm learning & discovering something new each week on squeezing more out of the pad - yet to explore the newest ext4 apps, that's a challenge. Although, I'm very happy & pleased with freeing up so much internal space & rom memory with A2SD and ext3,
Have fun !
Letitride thank you for your valuable insight and information it was truly appreciated.
I have rooted, installed CWM and made a nandroid backup. Cool considering when I started in on this thread a few days ago I new nothing about any of this stuff.
Thinking about experimenting with ROMs tomorrow can't have all the fun tonight.
What are your thoughts on A2SD I know you use it but does it shorten the life of the sdcard significantly and is it laggy. I was doing some research on just installing that rather than a custom ROM but a lot of the comments were negative.
You haven't steered me wrong so wanted your take.
One last thing completely unrelated is there a way to get rid of the autorun CD that loads when you plug device into PC it's annoying. Don't want to disable autorun on PC.
Again thanks for your assistance.

YES - excellent, well done & pat yourself on the shoulder for success. So you are still running your stock rom, correct - I would make sure Titanium Backup, Astro or ES File Explorer and/or Root Explorer are installed, and, get comfortable with using them. Froyo Enhanced would be a safe 1st. custom ROM to try, very close to stock with tweaks & minor customization, easy to adapt for one's own.
As far as A2SD is concerned, if you are referring to DT's verison, I do not have any problems with it at all running on ext3 partition with the EU V1.7 ITE ROM - it's best to upgrade CWM to v5.x first and be prepared for the mSD card to be reformatted, thus losing any & all stored data and having to restore it from a safe backup location (i.e. from the PC or portable HDD, usb device, etc.) It's a bit tricky for ITE hardware pads, but several others using my detailed notes also managed to do it - (and, that's why it's so important to have backup, run TB backup and CWM backup, and, to make sure your 3G and WiFi settings are saved & working along the way)
I tried several other App2SD apps on the "Market" and they're okay, the last one that I used was App2SD by Sam Lu (as listed) but even that was limited as it wasn't using ext3 or ext4 - whereas DT's A2SD did it with ease and really freed up quite a bit (I have about 60 Apps loaded plus nearly all of the standard Google Apps like Talk, Voice, Gmail, Maps/Navigation, Facebook along with Twitter & YouTube installed - which easily overwhelmed the pad's resources otherwise.) I would recommend installing it - just make it a habit to run CWM Backup & TB Backup at major milestones or checkpoints, so that if something go wrong, just go into Recovery & restore the last working one.
The mSD card is inexpensive enough vs. the price paid for the pad itself, so I'm okay if I need to replace it sooner - I use a 2nd. mSD card (smaller at 8GB) to test & experiment, and, once I'm comfortable with major changes made & have time, I transition back to the bigger 16G mSD card.
Additional ideas: install alternate launchers (Go EX, ADW & my preferred - VTL.Launcher) and keyboard (Gingerbread, Go or Swype beta (via registration & emailed link to download) and Sense-themed Fancy Widgets, and, Dolphin HD browser, and WidgetSoid, Moon+ Reader, and, of course, Lookout Security. These & others of your own choosing will give you hours of fun in practical hands-on experimentation.
All in all, my configuration has been stable & solid for the past month, and I have yet run into any problems with freezes or FC, lost of data or issues with either the hardware or ROM - my "regular" smartphone is faster, quicker & fancier, but there's something about the 7" screen size, it keep me occupied & entertained for hours - and battery life while on standby mode is quite good.
Lastly, not much one can do about that autorun feature on the PC when the pad is connected via the mini-usb cable, I just hit the Esc key or Cancel to bypass all those messages & prompts (it's just like other usb devices & mobile phones, once they sync. up with the pc, the Apps are awaken and ....)
Have fun over the weekend with the pad & experiment
Hi,
Im a newbee also in android rooting, i had some question and clarification about some terms and hope someone can share their knowledge.
Here are some of my questions:
Im confused with the img backup file of each partition. Does redirecting again to each partition mean restoring the individual img file to each partition ex"cat /sdcard/mtd3_recovery.img > /dev/mtd/mtd3"
or we need a tool like in linux which is DD or DDRESCUE or something else.
For instance my backup individual partition img file i created before i install costum rom. If im correct in restoring the individual image file to each mtd partition is possible does it means im
back to the state where i used the original stock or before i installed the costum rom. Its like in linux where if u restore a dd root image file to the partition you will back to the state where you created
the image backup.
Does NANDROID backup means using a CWR recovery to backup the original/stock+rooted rom and restoring it using the same process from a costum rom will means im back to the state of original/stock+rooted rom
Im still in the rooted state right now. i just want to understand a few things like restoring to original/stock+rooted before i procedd to installing costum rom and other tweeking on the device.
Hope someone can share some info.
Thanks in advance.

If i get you correct you mean to say extract the contents of firmware and then copy them to contents of target_bin_8G.7z archive and use SP flash tools to install it.. RIght ? I did install it using SP flash tools .. How ever i think all it did is simply do a factory reset on my phone as all the preinstalled applications are back
Well okay.. Never mind i got it.. For 8Gb version we need to download https://yadi.sk/d/7Wlud2fbZaYjA
and use SP flash toos version 5 to install from PC.

Hi. One thing i could say for sure: do not restore apps from prev versions of Android. They will install corupted. Better looK in sections of apps on your google account and install from there. Is safe and better. Iff you want to return to LiFe 0.7 you must flash your recovery TWRP 2.6.3.0 because TWRP 2.7.1.1 IS NOT COMPATIBILE. Titanium Backup has problems too. Install the latest version.
Hope this help.

I have 8 GB device. I am trying to flash P780_s221_LiFe_XVIBE_v05 using V5 SP Flash tool. I did follow the instruction of copying of files from target_bin-8G and replace the files in target_bin folder before flashing. Flashing and boot is successful. But the result is that the GSM/Data connection is lost. It is recognizing SIM cards as I do not see any error message on that. I see a red cross mark near the Signal Icon. When I tried recoveing IMEI from the backup using MobileUncleTool, one SIM is active and the other is still not. Any clue on what is the mistake? Further TWRP 2.7.1 is not recognizing external SD card and 'Mount SD card' function is not working when connected to Laptop.

Do not use that repartitioner on KK. It will not work and corrupt your partition, internal memory.
Thanks. I didn't know that.
However is there any way for re-partitioning when on KK? It's pretty important for me to increase internal memory. 1GB is not enough...

Hi everybody!
I have Le Max 2 and i have problem with cust partition.
I have had Indian ROM and decided the original ROM, but have lost the CUST.img and have problem with boot animation and the 4G Internet. I wanted more of this img, but i can't find anywhere. I need your help! Thanks!
Cust. Partition is not present nor needed. Only my Chinese phones have this partition. It is not a requirement for a phone to be operational, as far as I know or all phones would have it.

Hello community , I have a new Le Max 2 with 64GB storage . After the first start , I looked in the settings . He shows me ( no , that I have something installed ) , that 38 GB are occupied. I have TWRP installed and wanted to see . Here I see that I generally have only 21GB of internal memory and a partition named " CUST " could not be mounted. Can someone help?
I also have a problem with /cust partition that can't be mounted. Looks like I cannot use the phone to call anymore, it says that network is unavailable, although the 4G data is fine. Installations of ROMs looks like still possible, but the thing with calling is killing me... suddenly the phone is not a phone anymore )
I guess that my /cust partition was erased/deleted/disappeared when I wanted to install the ROM for X829 which other users with x820 said it was ok (not blaming anyone for anything ). Now when I choose band mode, I have the options only "USA band Mode" and "Band 6".
Can someone check in Europe what bands he has as an option?
PS: On Honor forums looks like this "cust" partition should contain information about the area where you are... for your provider to be able to understand the phone's settings or such. Really waiting for cust.img if someone can provide.
The best thing would be factory images, such as for Google Nexus Phone.
[“Flashing the Android factory image can be scary, especially for beginners. Flashing the factory image differs from installing the over-the-air (OTA) update in That the factory contains the full system image files for your device, whereas the OTA update contains only the upgrade information. In other words, flashing a factory image is more like completely deleting all the software on your device and replacing it. The OTA Will only replace what is being changed SINCE your last update” (as i read on another page)].
But unfortunately we don’t have this possibility from the Chinese Phones. I had problems with TWRP, of all versions and finally found the final version from GrossoShop.
I don't have more problems with cust partition and i have installed the ROM package from them. They are the best. Try it and your will be satisfied.
This is web link http://blog.grossoshop.net/come-installare-rom-grossoshop-cuoco92-powered-su-leeco-x820-le-max-2/ .
You can try the latest version (5.8.015S_V29_CUOCO92), but I am satisfied with the version (5.6.014S-v3_V28_CUOCO92).

Hi. Recently I stuffed my ZTE Blade A452 with MIUI ROM found on here: hxxp://forum.android.com.pl/topic/319435-a452miui-v8-miui-global-8020. I also installed TWRP . I've been using it for a while and unfortunately it didn't meet my expectations. It is barely usable, phone crashes a few times a day, apps aren't kept in background.
I decided to come back to my stock ROM. I don't have, however, any back up of it. There are some sdcard packages on ZTE's support page, however when I tried to install it with TWRP, it displays that packages (all of them) are for device id P635F33, while my device is P635E40. And I found nothing for my dev id.
Is there a way to force installing one of those packages in my phone? Editing version.txt inside update.zip did nothing.
Maybe one of you guys have a matching package?
Also my sister's got the same model, Blade A452, bought at the same service provider. Maybe there is a way to extract a ROM from her phone and put it into mine? (Her device must be left quite untouched).

You Have a Same Phone Available .That is Great. You can give her Sleep Drug Sneak Into Her Room.Get the Phone From Under The pillow.And Now You can Unlock The bootloader flash TWRP Make a Backup and Then Flash Stock Recovery.Then Put The Phone Back Under The Pillow.The Process Will only Take about 30Mins.
5Min to unlock Bootloader
2.5Min to flash TWRP.
2.5Min to install stock Recovery
And 20 min to move the back Up
Or
You can Slice her Throat and Get the phone.Seriously Save 30Min of time.
Or
You can Backup Using a Desktop Application and Restore on your Phone.

Yeah, TWRP on her phone isn't an option, as the whole system is quite buggy and she's gonna probably use the restore option. I'm gonna try with some desktop apps and give an answer in 1-2 hours. Thank you.
Sorry it took so long to answer.
I couldn't make a nandroid backup any desktop app (MTK Droid Tools can't create scatter file, couldn't find any other app).
As I said, TWRP was not an option. But I managed to do the nandroid backup from phone-level anyways.
First I rooted the source device with KingRoot, installed on it BusyBox and made a custom TWRP-style backup on SDcard with Online Nandroid Backup *ROOT. Default settings are fine, even though it couldn't recognize my phone model.
Then I moved SD into target device and performed a backup with TWRP (just to create my device directory). Then I moved the source-phone backup into the new-created directory and performed Restore.
And Voila! On my phone there was a 1:1 copy of the system. It wiped out TWRP so I could perform a system Restore and get a factory-new soft.
Thank You. I didn't even realize it was possible to restore A-Backup on B-Device. Even though my sister's phone was a P635F33 (I didn't know it earlier) and mine was P635E40, it worked well.

Hello I have a rooted phone with official miui12 rom.
TWRP is flashed but I can also run TWRP using adb.
How can I flash the New miui13 stock version ? Do I use the official Xiaomi flash tool? Or do I use TWRP to flash the stock rom?

Through fastboot, you should use the fastboot ROM, and through TWRP, you should use the recovery ROM.
Thanks. A preferred option ?
Using TWRP do I need to erase stuff before or can I install directly the rom and this is all ?
I guess that recovery room is not the one provided officially by Xiaomi, right ? It the same but packaged a different way ?
Do you know if SD card will be erased during the stock rom flashing process ?
I see on official Xiaomi site that official rom is quite old. Miui11 version so I guess I will need to perform a lot of OTA update... Can I trust recovery rom provided on other websites to have the latest stock rom version ?

Normally, you don't need to erase data, as they just update without erase per se.

The OTA updates come, either in form of fastboot or recovery ROM, when Xiaomi provides an update, you will, also, find the minimal OTA package, yet included in the whole ROM.
In this site, you will find the most up-to-date releases https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/miui/joyeuse/
thanks. I would like to be sure that my flashed TWRP will be erased during the process, will both flashing process (fastboot or TWRP) erase all my phone and put in a new "clean" state ? (except maybe for sdcard content)

Nope, both the processes, don't wipe per se, either through recovery or fastboot, in the Mi Flash tool, there is an option to format data, if you like it, if not, it remains un-ticked.
Sorry to insist but what are you calling 'data' ? Is it the SD card content (I don't think so) or is it the data partition on my internal memory ? So it could be :
Photo taken in internal memory
Data stored by apps like photo from WhatsApp or stuff like that ?
Temp file of each app like settings of app, etc.
Would it be a problem if I erase all my phone and loose all my apps but data off app are still there, it will take space for nothing right ?
What about flashed TWRP? will it be removed by the flashing process ? I think TWRP is flashed in recovery partition but not sure.
As you see I'm not familiar with android partition even if I did several times this kind of process with different phones.

Not exactly what I call data, but, what data means in Android World.
Formatting data, it's deleted all the data from apps stored in /data partition, all the data regards settings, all the apps installed by the user, general configurations and all the data stored in internal storage, also the system apps uninstalled by the user can come again.
As per the SD Card, if you have one inside, it is not touched in the process.
If you flash the recovery ROM using TWRP, it won't be overwritten, if you flash the fastboot ROM, you'll lose the access to TWRP.
Thanks. Tell me if I'm wrong but if a choose to flash stock miui 13 version whereas I'm currently in miui12 I should maybe erase data also ? Maybe apps won't works again from 12 to 13 version ? I should be cleaner to reinstall them again don't you think ?
About fastboot stock rom isn't it strange that the official website provides only miui 11 rom whereas your site has miui13 version? How is it possible ? For recovery rom I understand because people can backup their phone and could create a recovery rom like this with miui13 after doing the ota. But for the fastboot rom, if Xiaomi don't provides it and provides only miui11 one, where does the miui13 come from ?

It would work even if you don't erase data, but, I personally prefer erasing it, to avoid some lags/bugs in the future.

Firstly, be sure that your device is Joyeuse.
All the updates, either recovery and fastboot ROM, are provided by Miui, all of them are official updates, not uploaded from users´ devices.
It's A12, not A13, I don't think your device see the light on A13.
Yes android 13. But miui 13 comes with android 12 and my current os is miui12 that comes with android11. (If I'm correct).
I have Redmi note 9 pro, M2003J6B2G (photo is 64M). I don't know where Curtana or joyeuse word can be really found in my phone but after some readings I had the feeling that M2003J6B2G = joyeuse version.

Xiaomi also could update the Miui version, so Miui 13 came with Android 11 for some devices, don't stay there, just check the Android version that is specified in a tab, at the download list.

There are some apps like Device Info and other similar, from Play Store that can tell you, exactly, which your model is, Anyway, Redmi Note 9 Pro is Joyeuse but, be sure, before to proceed, consult some app like the mentioned.

Cpu-z indicate joyeuse-eea. Should be good.
Ok so I will delete the data partition and I will use fastboot flash using Xiaomi tool. I'm not sure to understand your answer about the SD card. Will it be erased during the process ? I know that sdcard are now crypted so that they could be used only by my phone. If the os is modified, maybe I won't be able to read it even if it is not formated. Don't you think ?

Just to not confuse, sdcard is the internal memory, that is symlinked as /data/media/0, all the internal memory is gone when we format data, some folders are recreated at the first boot, after performing it.
SD Card refers to Secure Digital card, that is an external media storage, it is absolutely excluded to any operation from Android, when flashing, updating the system or formatting data, of course, you should consider that some apps like camera can store its pictures there, previous authorization from user, but they will stay there yet, and some folder can be created too, at the first boot, but nothing that harms.
Just to know, sdcard as internal memory is not encrypted at all, it's accessible for any user, always, that can bypass the locking feature of the choice of the user, i.e. PIN, pattern, etc.
Thanks I didn't know that sdcard and SD card weren't the same. My concern is about external memory card (SD card). If not formated. I'm afraid that it couldn't be used after reboot. Except if the decryption key is linked to my phone (hardware) and not the software part (os) of my phone

The encryption is permanent since A6, it remains, at least, you can do something about it, using a custom recovery, a custom module, script, or something, nothing that the end user can worry about, for the normal use of the device.
Trying to guess, you did encrypt your SD card, then the encryption key is linked, only to your SD card, the SD card, specially, in newer Android versions, is treated as a privacy media user concern, so every time more, apps can't access to, as easy as the older times, it is RO by default.
Sorry I have difficulties to read and understand your last message as my English is bad.
Especially the second part... I don't encrypt anything myself. I just now that recent version of Android encrypt the sdcard and it couldn't be used in a computer for instance or another phone. So I think that maybe after new rom flashed. SD card won't be read or write from the phone and I will have to format it myself so that I can read it from my phone. Correct ?

You are again mixing the terms, in the first part, you're saying "...recent version of Android encrypt the sdcard" and linking to the second part, you're saying "...after new rom flashed. SD card won't be read or write"
As I said to you previously /sdcard AKA internal storage is not encrypted at all, at any time, the fact that you need to authorize the MTP connection within your device and a PC, doesn't change that, if you or anyone else, have access to the Android interface, then you or anyone else, can see all the data/files/pictures/audio/video stored, in the internal storage, by using a file manager app, or a specific app for every file instance/format, i.e. a music player for videos/sounds/musics, a gallery app for pictures/images, and so on.
As per the SD card, the same, if the user (you, in this case), didn't encrypt it, then, Android, also, doesn't encrypt it, so you and anyone else, can access to the data stored in it, either during the OS functioning normally, and/or after the flashing/formatting process.
