Yes, I Know the procedure to flash full zip file via TWRP. Via this toturial: youtube.com/watch?v=oUUzxYHV_ac&t=1s&index=11&list=WL
But i want to know if it is secure to flash, because i used these two applications.

Ok thanks bro, appreciated your attention!

Hi, I'm very newbie at rooting... But I managed to root my phone months ago and now there is this update (V10.2.1.0) that I cannot do because it's rooted...
I still have the original rom but rooted, and I don't want to flash anything since I have all my data, configuration and all this stuff :/
Is it possible to simply update it without flashing since it's the Xiaomi rom ?
Thank you

Problem with BootLoop (customROM)

PROBLEM SOLVED, THANK YOU !
Hi.
I just recently rooted my Honor 5X (KIW-UL00 , it's the chinese model)
I then tried installing a custom ROM, the LineageOS. Problem being that I was stuck in a weird BootLoot. When I rebooted the system, it showed me the usual Honor page for like 4-5 seconds, then the loading screen for LineageOS. After like 10 seconds, the animation stopped, the thing crashed and my phone restarted to the Honor page, then Lineage, then crash ... So I booted my phone with TWRP, tried Wiping the Cache and System and started over again with installing Lineage. The same thing happened. I then tried with 3 other custom ROM'S and the same thing happened. I don't know what I did wrong, I am wiping my cache and Dalvic each time, but I can't figure out what to do.
I'm looking for someone who could help me fix this. I am thinking about flashing the stock ROM, I just don't know how to do it, because it seems different than the custom ROM'S
PS: I'm looking for a kick fix, because I kinda really need my phone xD
Thank you!
Ok so, quick update, I got rid of TWRP by flashing the stock recovery over it. I tried to follow this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/help/honor-5x-kiw-ul00-boot-loop-t3449554
(DigiGoon's first answer) but it told me that the installation failed.
So in short, my phone is actually in a endless bootloob, trying to boot no ROM, because the're none.
what's the stock system version you were running before you flashed the custom rom? B418 is the latest non VoLTE firmware.
It was Marshmallow 6.0.1... I found my mistake
We can't downgrade using the SD card method and I was trying to install 5.0
Now I need to find the stock version for the KIW-UL00 6.0.1
you can downgrade with the help of hisuite by huawei.
if your stock system was above B422, you can use this patch to stop the bootloop,
just flash the file in twrp after you flash the rom. https://mega.nz/#!tK51gDRL!S9oYLBTeFDbN0hOCzt5jQ5DYECObFC08YMr-Kml6scc
Problem is that I dont have any ROM or custom recovery running on my phone. I can only acess the bootloader, the eRecovery (that for some magical reasons, doesn't work for me) and the SD card installer, that also doesnt work because the only thing I can find is a UPDATE.APP that is on 5.0, when my phone was on 6.0.1, which doesn't work.
HiSuite doesn't even connect and I don't know what VolTE is, can you explain?
Can someone can help me in finding the Stock ROM for KIW-UL00 (the chinese version of Honor 5x) on android 6.0.1. I can find those for every country except china...
EDIT, I was able to get back on TWRP, so I can add files in my phone
haubudam, i freaking love you dude, you saved me
Thank you SOOOOOOO much

My version of the firmware is B245. Your patch did not help me, there is no newer version of firmware for KISH-UL00 than 245. What should I do?

It was necessary to update the stock firmware to the latest version and then flash custom.

there's no flashing option on stock recovery.
Only at TWRP (or other custom recovery) Flash directly from there.
Rooting has nothin to do with it.

Oh, that error means the ROM might be faulty or you're flashing the wrong one.
Be ensure of the ROM first.
Redownload and check.

Twrp confusion

1: I read my data will get encrypted (what is this thing all about ) what encryption means i mean i know what encryption is in general but what does it mean here and how will it affect me i dont care if my user data get deleted when i flash but i dont wana get bootloop or soft brick
2: any proper noob friendly tutorial

4 : can i retain twrp after i install global beta without root and magisk
5 : isnt there any portable twrp which i can boot to to flash that zip and all back to normal mean stock recovery
Check this out. Twrp is not official yet, but can use force encryption disabler to keep TWRP work on next reboot to recovery. So far no problem to flash rom via twrp.

For what I know, if you boot into twrp via fastboot, it will be encrypted back to stock recovery if you don't install the force encryption disabler.
Meaning that, this force encryption disabler is to help to keep the twrp recovery.

Well, There's no good and bad when you still can boot as per normal, just that the recovery will be different, either twrp or stock though...
Use the one with working decryption so you don't have to worry about it. Forget every other Recovery and the Encryption Disabler, it just makes things complicated and it's an out-of-date work around for other Recovery's which aren't fixed yet.
If you use official MIUI then you will need to reflash or boot TWRP again if you want to use it, because stock Recovery will replace TWRP when you boot official MIUI. This isn't so bad because it keeps OTA working (unless you flashed Magisk of course, which will need to be uninstalled first before OTA).

You can dirty flash the recovery over the one you currently have, it won't affect your phone at all. Keep in mind though that your device will stay decrypted, you'll have to encrypt it manually via the phone settings.

Interesting, if stay decrypted, that's fine as the twrp will continue stay for future reboot to receovery.
You said that can manually encrypt via phone setting, but how to do that?

so refreshing to know. The only thing that haunts is boot loop to which we non-tech guys are afraid of and technical guys assume that every one knows the basics and hence the confusion occurs as no clear guide becomes available in new days of any mobile launch waiting a noob friendly thread for poco which might explain these in an order but thanx for the time you took to clear a bit

The simplest option for u is to download twrp with working encryption.
Dont flash it , just boot into recovery by fastboot command thru adb.
Flash whatever u want to and once done flashing , reboot and u will boot with stock recovery. That way for stock roms u can update via OTA also.
There's a thread in Q&A , will post the link in some time , would suggest u read it.

That's the only one last I checked, yes that's it.
You will need to reflash stock ROM (actually just vendor) if you want to enable encryption enforcement again in your ROM.

Hmm..
My current info:
Mini 9.6.25
Twrp (need to flash with Force encryption Disabler)
So here's my step to do:
Download the twrp with decryption enabled.
Download same stock rom.
Flash the stock rom
Flash the new twrp I downloaded.
That's all?
Will it be asking for password and stuff? Because as I know if it happens, I need to wipe data, right?
Another scenario, if I am going to flash miui 10 beta or stable in the future, I need to wipe data to get it work after flash?

Update from MIUI 11.0.1 To V12.0.3.0

Hello everyone, a little question. Now I'm running Android 10 miui 11.0.1 rooted with magisc and using pitch black recovery.. It supports the Ota update the same as stock recovery.
My question now is if I upgrate from MIUI 11.0.3 to miui 12.0.3 what will happens with the root? Will I need to delete the data partition?.. Maybe the new version fill found the phone rooted and the phone won't boot.. So I will need to format data..
Pleae answer to me guys asap. I can update the rom using twrp recovery.. But i don't want to lose all my data from the phone if it found the root
Sorry for my bad English..
Phone : mi 8 lite
Rom : official global rom miui 11.0.3 rooted with magisk
the update is : miui12.0.3 (860mb)

Probably you will need to root again!
It will format the partitions before flash the new one.

Hmm.. It is a simple Ota update so maybe it won't format anything.. But I'm thinking after Ota update done maybe the root is gone.. And for the Android 10 if you root your phone after flashing magisk always need to perform a data format..so I don't want to lose anything yet.. I don't know.. ?

Better to understand how magisk perform the root to understand where files go, i think it do something in boot.img and that is one if the images that Will be flashed i know, i updated it yesterday and a little tweak i had done was gone.

Yes the magisc use boot.img for root. So the new Ota update will get for sure a new boot.img.. So my phone will no more be rooted.. And if root after that I need to clear the data.. So.. No reason.. Better no update ?

You can install stock recovery and do factory reset, i think it will do a better reset than TWRP.

i tell you that because i think stock recovery reset some other partitions that TWRP doesn´t reset. And you can always change again to TWRP.
But it worked for you is what matters.
I've updated my mi 8 lite. I am using orange fox recovery, updated it using OTA (orange fox also sports it since you keep some auto generated files at sdcard) and I had not to format data partition. In fact, the update did not erase any user info. The only thing I had to do was to flash magisk zip again and voila, root is back and full functional again.
