ANDROID ONE FASTBOOT FLASHING IS DIFFERENT THAN US VERSIONS
because the a & b partitions.
So, now I have the patched_boot.img and the boot_signed.img for December security patch, build No. 1.09.401.2.
You have to check with "fastboot getvar all" wich partition is active so you have to boot to boot_a or boot_b. For me it was b now.
To take new update you have to flash the signed_boot first.

I have the same variant and no problems for me. Did u install anything else?

In case anyone has a temporary lapse of brain functioning like I did and gets confused because it seems this isn't working, it is important to remember that you'll need to install the Magisk Manager apk and Phh's Superuser (at least, those are the things I had to do after realizing I didn't pay attention to the fact that this is Magisk).

I did install Titanium Backup and removed some bloat. Maybe I removed something I shouldn't have. I wonder if a factory reset would help or make things worse.

Okay, so I did the factory reset and now Google Services FC's and I cannot setup the phone. I get to the "Set Up Wifi" screen and cannot progress further. I'm thinking I need a factory image to restore the phone, now. I really borked this thing.

Has anyone else had any issues with Magisk refusing to install modules after flashing this? It acts like a module is being flashed but changes nothing. I'm wondering if it has to do with not having a functional recovery at the moment. I have been able to install Xposed using the Xposed installer and Xposed is working perfectly.

U should be able to get back to normal unless you modified the system. I have a system img. I can upload later if that's the case

After you install recovery, and you modify the system ( ie format the system ) are we able to flash things in recovery? I haven't yet but wondering

U can flash things in recovery now. You just can't decrypt data yet. So only you can flash from external SD card.

Yes , but is this after you format the memory ? I can't get anything to show on the SD card or the external SD card, is it required to format ?

@muniz_ri maybe you could create another version of the rom that is more debloated of most of the sprint crap that is preinstalled other than that thanks for making this rom bro!
I tried 4 different downloads. Does it need to be in the root of the internal memory? Or renamed? It keeps saying it's failing validation...twrp 3.0.2.0.

Will not load into Odin after flashing...
Downloaded, flashed, and tried to Odin the bootloader and modem, but phone will not be recognized by Odin. Sugesstions?
what slot do i put the modem/bootloader in? BL or CP? and do i need to get rid of the .md5 extension first?
Edit - put it in BL, odin said pass. Now i'm sitting at the "Sprint" (white background) splash screen. I'll let it simmer for a while. Fingers crossed again
Edit 2 - Hot sh!t...I'm up and running. 10 minutes on the Sprint splash screen. Now to redownload my apps and restore all the data. Ten thumbs up

"Unfortunately Setting Has Stopped" after factory reset

After factory resetting/reinstalling [Resurrection_Remix][Android 6.0.1, r_52][Kenzo], the "Unfortunately Setting Has Stopped" has started appearing whenever I try to access the Privacy setting to change the password/pin/pattern option. I also noticed that the Fingerprint scanner is no longer in the Privacy setting.
Under TWRP I have also tried wiping Dalvik / ART Cache, Data, Internal Storage, and Cache when reinstalling any other Custom ROMs and Gaap. The other custom ROMS I've installed are causing the Setting->Privacy option to crash also. All the searches I've made doesn't seem to fix the issue, particularly the searches in the Redmi section. Any suggestion would be helpful, thanks.

link to download radio.zip?
This situation happens when you switch to an OFFICIAL Rom from an UNOFFICIAL one like Mokee or RR from Siddhesh or Santosh. This is because these ROMs lock the bootloader and cause other problems too.
Radio.zip may not always fix the problem. If you are really stuck, there is a lengthy process that is guaranteed to work.
1. Flash one of the MiUI Fastboot ROM (global or chinese stable works fine) for RN3SD with Mi Flash tool. Use Flash All in the options at the bottom.
2. If you had an officially unlocked bootloader, use the Mi Unlocker tool to unlock your bootloader. Otherwise, you need to follow the unofficial unlock guide.
3. Flash official TWRP or a variant if you now what you are doing. Refer to this thread if you are not sure which TWRP will work.
3a. Download and copy this file to internal storage - LazyFlasher. I have verified this file to work with MiUI7 and MiUI8 global.
3b Reboot the phone in fastboot mode. On your PC, copy the TWRP img file to the adb directory and open command window there. Rename it to recovery.img. Use this command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
3c Boot into recovery (using ADB or Vol-pwr button shortcut). DO NOT BOOT into the phone before you do this. Flash the Lazyflasher zip with TWRP. You could probably flash this using fastboot too, I just never tried it.
Dhanajay made a guide video here. The video is a little outdated, and the updated instructions are in the description and comments.
You phone is now rooted and you have TWRP. Happy flashing.
This method will soon be outdated as a graphical UI for ADB is already in progress. Others have done it before, but this one shows real promise. Check here for details.
It has been a few months now since the RN3SD launch and the time has come when unofficial ROMs are no longer the best option around. Most Official ROMs, including the ones from RR and XOSP among others work great now and are incredbilby smooth and efficient. The war for the best kernel is now starting, and custom kernels will be responsible for the next round of reasons for bricked phones. Be VERY careful when you are flashing a ROM with a custom kernel. Be prepared to do some legwork if things go wrong.

Seems to be down. Normally works. Give it some time.
But if you are moving from an unofficial ROM, flashing radios alone is unlikely to work. Radio zip fix is for undetected SIM and IMIE errors. Check your IMIE number in About Phone. If you are showing an IMIE number instead of '0', flashing radio may be pointless.

Link is from August 8th. That **** has mirrored a hundred times by now.
Also, the problem is now tackled in a different way. If you're facing a similar issue, ask in the rom thread you are trying to flash.
If you are facing this problem now, just flash the correct CM firmware.
P.S. On XDA, please do not question why someone posted a link or method that did not work for you. Do your research. No one is obligated to solve your problems.

Boot Logos!

Just flash the zip in TWRP to change your boot logo. These should work for any model of the G6 Play. All backgrounds are white with the exception of the original boot logo. This was done to cover up that annoying bad key or N/A message. Enjoy!
Hey, thanks for this! If I do a design, could you make it into one of these? For example, this one?

Yep, check back in like 10-15min and I'll make that a logo.

This took me a few hours. Hope you folks like it. I'll probably make a few more over the next several days.
Is there a tutorial anywhere on how make these?
These are great and just what I need, however, I can't seem to the zip files when I'm booted into TWRP on my XT1922-3 (I think it has something to do with not being able to find a download for XT1922-3_no_dm-verity_boot.img that still exists anywhere). So is there a way to flash this using fastboot?
I tried unzipping and using the command > 'fastboot flash logo logo.bin' which it said was successful, but I still see the bad key or N/A.
It would be great if anyone can explain how to get this to work for me.

You shouldn't need a no verity boot.img
You can flash the dmverity disabler then magisk.
If you already have TWRP, then dmverity has already been disabled. Or your phone wouldn't boot.
But if you need it

Thanks, yes, I downloaded that already and put the zip file into the root directory, but TWRP doesn't see it to be able to install/flash it.
As I don't need the phone rooted, as I'm just setting it up to sell on, I think I'll just reflash the stock firmware and see if I can relock the bootloader and get rid of the N/A and/or Bad Key messages, so it is like oem from the factory, for whoever buys it.

That's because TWRP can't read encrypted storage. Has to on your SD card.
These are really cool! Appreciate you sharing what you made and getting the annoying "bad key" done away with. Did you follow a specific tutorial to make these or you just already knew how? I am interested. I would like to make some is why I ask. I use Ubuntu on my home computer and I have gimp. I haven't ever really messed with it much but I plan on setting down with it soon ,hopefully this weekend and this would be a cool project I believe to start out. I'll search around here on xda and see what all I can find on boot logos. Thank you! Also thank very much for the custom twrp recovery!! If it wasn't for you I don't believe the Moto g6 play would be able to install GSI roms. :good:

[GUIDE] How I flashed TWRP, Xiaomi.eu rom and rooted with Magisk

Hey guys.
The below is my full experience of how I flashed TWRP, the Xiaomi.eu rom and rooted with Magisk. Whilst it essentially is a step-by-step, it also contains not only how I succeeded but also how I encountered issues and so...
*UPDATE!*
Here is a slightly condensed verison with thanks to @airwebber
Get the latest xiaomi.eu rom from here or here, just scroll down and find the "xiaomi.eu_multi_MI9..." version.
https://sourceforge.net/p/xiaomi-eu...ty/?page=0&limit=100#5cb9f96ee8ba7c44716e87ff
Get the latest magisk (magisk v19 works at the time of writing this post):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Some versions of twrp may not work on older builds other than the latest (9.4.25) and so use this one with:
https://mega.nz/#!CH5jgYTB!yNqOiVoo3cf0_15jIwZ-btO52cvpOG7iZrRCe19V2Nc
Once the waiting time elapses (usually 360 hours) use the MiFlash tool to unlock the bootloader. Warning: this wipes your phone entirely, so be sure to backup anything of importance.
Unlocking takes a few minutes and once 100% complete your Mi 9 will reboot. Your phone will say “unlocked” on the first splash screen while booting up.
Your Mi 9 will boot, and you will need to either perform/skip the initial setup stuff. Once ready, power off your device in order to flash TWRP.
Press both the volume down key and power key to boot into Fastboot Mode.
Once in Fastboot Mode, use the following command to install TWRP: “fastboot flash recovery XXXX” (XXXX = the pathway to your TWRP.img file). However, I find it best using Minimal ADB and copying the TWRP file and renaming it to “twrp.img” for ease) in the Minimal ADB folder location e.g. “C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot”.
Once flashed, disconnect the USB cable and boot to TWRP recovery by holding down both the volume up and the power buttons. This sometimes will bring you to the stock recovery and NOT TWRP! If it does, boot back to Fastboot and reflash TWRP.
Once you can boot to TWRP, push both the rom and magisk via CMD line:
adb push rom.zip /tmp/
adb push magisk.zip /tmp/
For ease, I suggest copying both files to the Minimal ADB folder location e.g. “C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot”. And renaming them to: “rom.zip” and “magisk.zip”.
This step is very important!! You must go to the Wipe menu and select: Format Data, then type “yes” to continue and then: do a Factory reset, which also wipes: Data, Caches and Format Data. If you skip this step you won’t be able to install a lot of important apps and will have to start over.
Now that you have pushed both the rom & magisk and wiped everything you needed to. Install the ROM immediately after install magisk.zip (in that order) both located in /tmp/.
The installation will take a couple of minutes (if your screen dims, don’t worry that’s just TWRP screen dimming, touch the screen to keep it awake!) once finished with no errors, then reboot and chose Do Not Install the TWRP app when prompted.
The phone will take a few seconds to reboot and show the first MI splash screen, but it should start booting. After a couple of minutes, you should see the initial boot screen! Perform the setup (connecting to Wi-Fi, adding my Google account etc.).
Once finished setting up, you may notice that magisk was not installed, if that happens, you can install the APK version and follow the prompts and reboot.
Once rebooted, confirm that magisk is now installed. If it is, I suggest installing SafetyNet and confirming your phone passes!
If it passes, you have successfully installed and rooted the Xiaomi.eu rom!
Also, when updating with each weekly I recommend the below as an alternative to using the built in Updater app. The reason being is I believe the updater app automatically reboots after it installs, which if you're rooted means you'll lose it. That then means you have to reboot back to twrp, reflash magisk, reboot, reinstall modules, reboot again etc.
Therefore to update a weekly:
Download the rom manually
Reboot to twrp
Wipe system and caches
Flash the rom and magisk
Reboot
Optional: I also disable my substratum theme too before updating and reapply afterwards. Whether it's needed or not I'm not too sure, so give it a try either way
Awesome, all files at the ready! BTW get the latest MIUI from HERE or HERE.
Make sure you download the xiaomi.eu_multi_MI9_xxx.zip.

Yeah I agree it's kinda overkill, being a a full run down - when I get time I'll make a shorter condensed version
Thanks for the detailed write up. The EU roms are google approved correct? Does the side Ai button work with google assist? Do you need to install twrp to flash or can I just flash global/EU rom if I don't want to root yet?
I just got the bootloader unlocked (1h before than I tought ahahah). I had some issue that the unlocker was telling to me thaat I didn't use enought the phone and that so I had to try in few days I overtook the problem using an old version of the unlocker (2.3.803.10).
Reading your procedure it all logical and fine, thanks! Except one thing that I'm not sure... Is xiaomi.eu a 'full rom' (on all Xiaomi that I had I always jumped straight to something different than MIUI and so I never tried it ahahah )?
If so, I think it would be better to wipe the system too before installing the rom. That's because doing so it will do 100% 'clean' installation and not a an update on the normal global miui

Thanks for the detailed write up. The EU roms are google approved correct? Does the side Ai button work with google assist? Do you need to install twrp to flash or can I just flash global/EU rom if I don't want to root yet?

Hmm unsure about them being approved or not... The side button does work. As far as I understand, you'll need to install twrp in order to flash the new rom, but could always go back to stock recovery and of course no need to root if you don't want to

I just got the bootloader unlocked (1h before than I tought ahahah). I had some issue that the unlocker was telling to me thaat I didn't use enought the phone and that so I had to try in few days I overtook the problem using an old version of the unlocker (2.3.803.10).
Reading your procedure it is more or less everything fine except one thing that I'm not sure. is xiaomi.eu a full rom? If so, I think it would be better to wipe the system too before installing the rom because instead it will try to to an update on the normal global miui rather than a 100% 'clean' installarion

That's a fair point - if you have some this successfully then perhaps I'll amend my post. Sometime soon I'll make a small set of instructions, rather than my essay

Luckily in those two waiting-weeks I had time to test all the debloat that I wanted to come with a stable configuration today It's just a pity that we can't get rid completely of the Security app It is integrated too much in the system!
One quick question for who has installed Xiaomi EU with Magisk: does it pass SafetyNet to you? (to me no )

So once bootloader is unlocked I can install TWRP and flash the EU rom without rooting?

Yeah, to change the device name back to mi 9, just install "Find my device" app from Google play store, sign in with google account, there's an option in the setting to rename the device (this device).
That's the only place you can change the name back, I did try all, but only this one worked.

Question Remember theisonews and isoleeted

BEWARE
Has this changed, or is it still unsafe? I'm just getting back to checking on on rooting the GN2200 and I am on the C.11 update currently.

I tried rooting c11 and I ended up bricked.
Could you make a rom backup of your device so i can un brick un mine
If you can guide me in the current set of utilities, I certainly can. I just don't stay that current until I'm ready to utilize, is all.
Im learning now
You have to be rooted to backup the firmware
I would never try to root a newer phone if it didn't support custom recovery like TWRP in-case something goes south.

There is custom recovery for this device. Buts its tricky to get it installed. The guide was deleted when the forum police banned scarlet wizard who wrote the guide
Have you tried installing KernelSU, and simply booting from fastboot in order to get your backups? Then once you have them, you can play with rooting again? I just learned of KernelSU this year, and I think it's a remarkable tool for getting our backups before flashing anything.
