4. go to wipe-> swipe to factory reset...
5. go to install-> select images->select the file-> flash type - system image...
6. wait for flashing system...
7. reboot...
8. set up device...
9. go to recovery and flash magisk and other stuffs you want(Magisk treble link= https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962187416754478287)
B. Dirty Install:-
1. go to recovery->wipe->advanced wipe-> system, cache , dalvik
2. follow steps from A.5 to A.9..
Non-TWRP flash:-
1. go to fastboot mode...
2. in adb, type fastboot devices and check if it's showing...

What does Dirty Install mean? Does it mean i wont lose any app installed in my phone?
Do we need to go setting in recovery and enable Treble mode just like clean install?
I am currently running official stock rom

Dirty install means you can install ROM without losing data... It is only available if you want to upgrade your ROM not changing the ROM...
Yes enabling treble mode is mandatory...
First time you need clean install...
So first install the twrp, then format data... It'll erase your internal storage... Mandatory if you are coming from miui otherwise you'll face encryption problem...
Format data then install any treble ROM no matters but keep in mind that it must be either GSI or any treble or non treble ROM for our device...

After install TWRP,do i need to disable dm verity? And format data means wipe system, vendor, data, cache, dalvik? Also after flash new rom, some guides tell to flash lazy flasher, is it still necessary?
What's the different between GSI and Treble rom? I know pixel experience is treble rom. But GSI? Any example?

dm verity is for flashing miui recovery ROMs, not required for custom ROMs...
format data means like formatting a pendrive... it'll wipe everything in it... excluding some root system core files and recovery stuffs...
lazy flasher is dm verity flasher... as said its always for miui ROMs... some says to flash after installing xposed which is wrong...
you can keep it... just in case you see bootlloop which is a dream...:laugh:
Treble=ROM containing vendor files for a device(for flashing GSI)
GSI= generic system image which is a universal file which doesnt contain vendor files, so you need to flash a treble ROM before flashing a GSI so that it boots up...
there's pixel experience gsi image available which you can only flash if there's any treble ROM pre installed...
Hi, I tried asop gsi over pixel experience treble rom, just for fun ?
Phone boot, but no GSM network, no Sim card found... All the rest looks to be OK...
What I've done wrong?
Any idea?

Have you factory data reset before installing ROM??? Then it should work... Just in case of you still face issue then use lineage as base...

Tried resurrection remix and network works, but home don't... Need clean data maybe, no time to try... Maybe later, I think when full whipe it should work.
By the way, as we have good compiled up to date rom, it is not really useful for now...
Thanks for the guide. I have some doubts.
1.My device is currently running on los15.1(Rooted with magisk), can i do dirty flash?
2.Will Google release gsi for official oreo-treble devices?
3.Assume my device is running on RR-gsi now i want to flash another gsi, do i have to perform a clean flash or dirty flash?

First of all, im not very new on android things, but the various type and hardware on kenzo a little bit confuse me.
Okay, i have a 2GB version of kenzo, running MIUI Global stable 8.0.6.0, i want to know if the procedure that i would like to do is right.
1. Unlocking my bootloader (still waiting for the approval)
2. Installing twrp.
Nah for the no 2, do i have to do any additional things or i just reboot it right away after installing twrp? (Im not interested on rooting because i dont need it atm).
3. Flashing the mandatory fw, cm14, and the gapps.
Can i actually flash them all on my current miui version? Or do i have to be on developer or something of a kind?
Thanks for your replies.
It means a lot to me, really.

If you don't want to root, then don't flash SuperSU.
And for installing the ROM, first flash the developer ROM.
Download the developer ROM. Go the Updates > Choose Update Package > Choose the Developer ROM and install it.
Then,
Install twrp.
Transfer the CM14 Firmware, ROM, GApps to your Internal Storage.
Reboot to recovery.
Backup your current ROM. (Select everything)
Go to wipe > advanced wipe > choose everything except internal storage and microSD card.
Go to install > flash firmware > then ROM > then GApps.
Reboot

It is preferred to install Developer ROM and install Pico GApps if you want the VoLTE access. If you don't want, then no need.

Install the customised twrp for Redmi Note 3 since it helps to install OTA updates when using MIUI ROMs.
Hit thanks if it helped.
wtf begging for likes?
what does pico gapps have to do with VoLTE?!
its not even needes to be on dev rom, its just recommended to use 6.11.24+ firmware for CM14 thats why... I usually just flash eu rom,epicrom,multirom,miuipro whichever of these, because they never relock BL.
After unlocking the bootloader, install Alka recovery and back up all the partitions before doing anything. Copy the back up to a safe place , you will need it for whenever you mess up.

With official recovery you have to flash modified boot.img while flashing MIUI rom, with alka you don't have to. Also alka backs up all the partitions, so you don't have to worry about lost imei or bootloader relocking or any other problem. Just restore the backup and you will be right back from where you started.
Also go through these threads while waiting for your unlock permisssion
http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/guide-redmi-note-3-available-twrps-t3406708
http://en.miui.com/thread-235865-1-1.html
also, zcx twrp can also backup all partitions + disables dm verity, just like alka does.
only switching from LP to MM or vice versa locks bootloader and flashing fastboot rom via edl does that too. some roms also lock it...
Same here. I too bought a 16gb version. But confused why I need to flash any developer ROM.
Can't I simply flash twrp after unlocking the bootloader officially and then flash any ROM from twrp(while on the MIUI GLOBAL 8.0.6.0 version)??
Any help would be appreciated

Sorry for the intreruption but i also have a question. I was on MIUI 8.0.6.0, after that I wiped and flashed appropriate firmware for CM then CM13 then Gapps. What whould one do if he theoretically want to rollback to miui, is it ok to flash latest miui stable rom on top of cm firmware? I miss too much the camera app which had great slo mo and timelapse features. Im also thinking of updating to CM14, dont know yet...seems buggy. Thanks

You can always flash the rom image with the flash tool(that works 100 percent). If you want to flash it from recovery than i think you need to flash lazy flasher after flashing the ROM. Give it a try.
Hi,
I've been out the custom rom game since Lollipop and feel very much like a N00b again.
I flashed the latest stable PIE miui through TWRP then flashed a few custom roms to test. Got hit with the whole encryption merry go round and managed to somehow stop this by flashing one of these disableencrypt zips I believe. I have no idea if this will happen again and I am scared my internal data will get encrypted again. how do I permanently disable this?
I also have the following error what have i done wrong, do i need to fix this and what effect does it have on my Poco:
ANDROID SYSTEM
Your vendor image does not match the system. Please flash the PKQ1.180729.001 vendor image for your device.
Any guidance would be much appreciated,=.

1- First of all encryption is by default in pie so you have to flash DfE every time you update or install a ROM and also in case of updating vendor or firmware . DfE has to installed after the ROM installation otherwise storage will get encrypted and only option would be left for decryption is format
2- For vendor mismatch flash vendor for here

Just to be sure, formatting data would erase internal storage. You mean then I would sideload the zips through TWRP?

Damn the community really needed this. Good job man.
Could you also add steps to move from MIUI to Custom? (Both encrypted) and vice versa.
im on the previous weekly build of xiaomi.eu rom and i haven't flashed fcrypt disabler, Now how should i update my rom to the latest weekly build? can i use the built-in updater app or should i follow some other procedure? also is it fine to stay encrypted?

Disclaimer: I'm not a dev, i'm just someone who has a lot of time to do research on Windows, Android... So that i can say i'm quite a talent that stuffs when other don't, may be just know to use Facebook, Youtube or something similar. But when you're here, want to read my topic, i'm happy you're something like me, want your phone yours and yours only, want to do more with your phone. So let's get started.
- My Phone: Redmi 8A -4/64 China Variant, i'm not from China though. Running Xiaomi.eu rom 11.0.4.0 as base to install gsi. I have tried Global Rom but it's incompatible with my phone (random reboot, missing imei, no MAC address...) so please flash another market version with caution.
- Why i write this topic? Because firstly i want to demonstrate how to install a GSI rom. Secondly, i feel somehow wifi speed on MIUI is ridiculous, only 500-600kb/s, it takes me 15 minutes to download a 16mb app; random ping in game, that make the game not enjoyable. This wifi symptom is like on a phone from my country, Vsmart joy 2+, run on the same entry variant 4xx, due to support wifi 2.4 ghz only. (Because bluetooth interfering with wifi 2.4 Ghz and our device doesn't support 5ghz wifi)
Compare to MIUI, Havoc OS has somethings i like:
+ Faster download/upload speed: no delay with wifi bluetooth interference
+ Doesn't have bloatware, you choose what you want to install
+ All known bugs i mentioned in my previous topic are fixed, except Auto Brightness - i don't use it though
+ D2TW needs to be fixed. But i have a workaround using Magisk and root.
And a lot that i dont write all here.
Instructions:
Read my previous topic first, all instructions below will focus on Havoc OS only.https://forum.xda-developers.com/xi...de-how-to-install-magisk-miui-how-to-t4030175
0) Backup Backup Backup, be sure to have a plan in case anything goes wrong. I use a offline disk drive to backup anything important.
1) Unlock Bootloader, Install TWRP or Orange Fox. If you come from stock MIUI, use Volume Up + Power to enter recovery directly after flash with Fastboot, ortherwise, stock recovery will be replaced.
Remember to flash vbmeta.img.
2) Download all the files in my post, download Havoc OS GSI and extract to get system
From Official Havoc OS here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/havoc-os/files/a64-ab/ (Newer Version)
Download Opengapps (optional) from opengapps (10/arm/nano or pico)
Download boot.img from my previous topic, choose the right version matched your phone version.
3) Copy all the files to the phone. I recommend use a micro sd card because internal storage may be encrypted, or you can format data first, your call.
4) Format the following partitions: Cache, Dalvik, Data and System
5) Install system image to system partition.
6) Install permissiver_v5
7) Resize system partition to install opengapps.
8) Install Opengapps or what gapps you choose
9) Flash Certification + Patch
10) Reboot. If bootloop, format data. Not wipe data. Then setup your phone.
11) Install Magisk Manager. Follow the app instructions.
12) Install d2tw module to have d2tw feature. If it doesn't work, then try an alternative way:
Open /vendor/bin/init.qcom.post_boot.sh and add the string:
Code:
sendevent /dev/input/event2 0 1 5
then reboot
13) Enjoy Havoc OS. Install apps, configure settings...
How to Update
- Flash system image over, no wipe require. Just reboot.
Bugs
I don't use the phone often so i can say it's stable enough to be a daily driver rom. If there's any, just comment below so i can add them.
Additions
- Here are all apps i want to install on my phone: Youtube Vanced from https://vancedapp.com/; Bromite for browsing; modded messenger from @evilwombatHere, outdated version but still okay.
- If you don't like stock camera, you can use gcam, here is a working version i download from Telegram group: Here
- To fix Recording, from Misc features -> Force Timestamp Source, choose Clock boottime
And that's all. Now enjoy!
I gifted my sister this phone so i don't have device to test anymore. Still, sometime i'll test if i can. The guide still works so enjoy flashing!!!
Great. I've been using havocOs for almost two months now and it's great. Much quicker and smoother than stock miui. Only problem I've been trying to find a fix for is setting up a lock screen.
Thanks for sharing the dt2w module for magisk. Is there some sort of setting I need to mess with to get it to work? I've installed the module and activated it in magisk but dt2w still won't work. I also activated the dt2w setting that comes with havocOs 3.1 under " xiaomi features " but that never worked from the beginning.

Did you flash no_encrypt zip? It'll make set up screen password impossible because encryption is disable. I have clean flashed Havoc OS and confirm d2tw module working, despite i don't active the xiaomi option in setting.

Yes I believe I did flash no_encrypt. Is there any possible way to re-enable Encryption to set up a screen lock at this point?

There is a trick, you can enable encryption through Settings -> security -> Encryption and credentials then encrypt phone. If it doesn't work, then read this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-t3817389
Or you can do the whole process again, clean flash and do as my thread. May be d2tw starts working.
Thank you sir
thanks a lot for this
can you tell me how to upgrade our 32bit os to 64bit

I wasn't able to encrypt my phone it would just reboot and nothing change.
So I ended up re-flashing back to MIUI stock firmware.
Flashing OrangeFox and HavocOS 3.1
Flashed all of the other necessary stuff EXCEPT for Disable_ForceEncrypt.
Now my phone is encrypted and able to set up a Screen Lock .
Now I'm still not able to use dt2w for some odd reason. No worries though I'm able to set up tap status bar to lock so that'll help for Now until I can keep dt2w to work.

Disclaimer: I'm not a dev, i'm just someone who has a lot of time to do research on Windows, Android... So that i can say i'm quite a talent that stuffs when other don't, may be just know to use Facebook, Youtube or something similar. But when you're here, want to read my topic, i'm happy you're something like me, want your phone yours and yours only, want to do more with your phone. So let's get started.
- My Phone: Redmi 8A -4/64 China Variant, i'm not from China though. Running Xiaomi.eu rom 11.0.4.0 as base to install gsi. I have tried Global 10.3 but it's incompatible with my phone (random reboot, missing imei, no MAC address...) so please flash another market version with caution.
- Why i write this topic? Because firstly i want to demonstrate how to install a GSI rom. Secondly, i feel somehow wifi speed on MIUI is ridiculous, only 500-600kb/s, it takes me 15 minutes to download a 16mb app; random ping in game, that make the game not enjoyable. This wifi symptom is like on a phone from my country, Vsmart joy 2+, run on the same entry variant 4xx.
Compare to MIUI, Havoc 3.1 has somethings i like:
+ Faster download/upload speed: almost the same as the speed of my network
+ Doesn't have some bloatwares, you choose what you want to install
+ All known bugs i mentioned in my previous topic are fixed, except Auto Brightness - i don't use it though
+ D2TW needs to be fixed. But i have a workaround using Magisk.
And a lot that i dont write all here.
Instructions:
Read my previous topic first, all instructions below will focus on Havoc OS only.https://forum.xda-developers.com/xi...de-how-to-install-magisk-miui-how-to-t4030175
0) Backup Backup Backup, be sure to have a plan in case anything goes wrong. I use a offline disk drive to backup anything important to me.
1) Unlock Bootloader, Install TWRP or Orange Fox. If you come from stock MIUI, use Volume Up + Power to enter recovery directly after flash with Fastboot, ortherwise, stock recovery will be replaced.
Remember to flash vbmeta.img.
2) Download all the files in my post, download Havoc OS GSI from ExpressLuke and extract to get system imagehttps://sourceforge.net/projects/expressluke-gsis/files/HavocOS/Ten/A64/AB/
Download Opengapps (optional) from opengapps (10/arm/nano or pico)
Download boot.img from my previous topic, choose the right version matched your phone version.
3) Copy all the files to the phone. I recommend use a micro sd card because internal storage may be encrypted, or you can format data first, your call.
4) Format the following partitions: Cache, Dalvik, Data and System
5) Install system image to system partition.
6) Install permissiver_v5
7) Resize system partition to install opengapps.
8) Install Opengapps or what gapps you choose
9) Flash Certification + Patch
10) Reboot. If bootloop, format data. Not wipe data. Then setup your phone.
11) Install Magisk Manager. Follow the app instructions.
12) Install d2tw module to have d2tw feature.
13) Enjoy Havoc OS. Install apps, configure settings...

I don't use the phone often so i can say it's stable enough to be a daily driver rom. If there's any, just comment below so i can add them.

- Here are all apps i want to install on my phone: Youtube Vanced from vanced.app; Bromite for browsing; modded messenger from @evilwombatHere, outdated version but still okay.
- If you don't like stock camera, you can use gcam, here is a working version i download from Telegram group: Here

I've considered making a complete tutorial on installing recovery, root, & rom installation for this phone. Next time I go back to stock I probably will make a video. Until then you can definitely follow the tutorials on this forum to install a custom recovery and rom. Personally I would recommend installing OrangeFox recovery because TWRP has touchscreen issues sometimes.
You will have to unlock the bootloader first which takes 14 days if you have not already.
The tool to unlock the Bootloader is here: https://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html
Once your bootloader is unlocked you're ready to install OrangeFox custom recovery, the files and instructions can be found here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xi...t/orangefox-recovery-xiaomi-redmi-8a-t4032583
Once you have OrangeFox recovery installed you can follow this tutorial in this thread to install HavocOS rom or the other thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xi...de-how-to-install-magisk-miui-how-to-t4030175
Try it out and then come back and let us know what problems you run into

I used TWRP then moved to Orange Fox. Everything working fine, may be your screen is different. In d2tw module, there's a file called readme.md: Manual usage : - enable $ set-dt2w 1 - disable $ set-dt2w 0
Just try it -))))))))
Great GSI. I have this one problem though. I cannot backup anything from TWRP. Is it really normal because it's encrypted?

I'm getting the same error with attempting to make a back up in orangefox. After seeing you have the same problem now I'm assuming it is indeed a problem with encryption? I was able to make backups successfully before my phone was encrypted so I still have an old back up on my PC. However it would be nice to be able to make a new fresh back up.

That was weird. In stock ROM, I can back up the /data/media just fine even when encrypted. But after having Havoc OS, I cannot do that anymore. Tried on both TWRP and OrangeFox. I can, with an unencrypted phone, but I do not feel comfortable without a lockscreen. Tried all things I have researched on that error. Not one worked. Might as well just stick to Titanium Backup for backups.
Overall, great GSI. Loading is faster than on stock (with the internet too)! Though, I have another issue with regards to the locking of apps, so that the app would not be cleared. Speaking of clearing apps, it is tiring to scroll left just to see the "Clear All" option in Recents. Autostart too.
I know you are not the developer, but just letting you know my concerns.

Reboot to custom recovery > Menu > Manage Partitions > System > Resize or Repair
Custom ROMs are one of the best things about Android. One of the best things about the openness of the Android platform is that if you're unhappy with the stock OS, you can install one of many modified versions of Android (called ROMs) on your device. A new ROM can bring you the latest version of Android before your manufacturer does, or it can replace your manufacturer-modded version of Android with a clean, stock version. But with the introduction of the dynamic partition flashing Custom ROMs are a bit tricky. In this post, I will run you through the steps of flashing Custom ROMs on your Poco X3.
Pre-requisites:
Unlocked Bootloader
Custom Recovery
Note:- Always create a backup of your important files before flashing.
Steps:-
From MIUI to Custom ROM
Encrypted
Copy the Custom ROMs zip to your sdcard or your OTG flash drive.
Boot to the recovery.
Flash the required firmware mentioned for the ROM.
Reboot your recovery.
Flash the Custom ROM.
And then format data [**This will wipe your internal storage**]
Reboot (Flash magisk if you want root after the first boot)
Decrypted
Flash this decrypted vendor
Flash the custom rom
Format data and reboot
From Custom ROMs to Another Custom ROM
Encrypted
**Backup your internal storage, incase something gets wrong**
Remove your lockscreen password
Boot to the recovery
Wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik Cache
Flash Custom ROM
Reboot
** If the device bootloops Format Data **
Decrypted
*If your device is encrypted*
Flash the decrypted vendor
Flash the custom rom
Format data and reboot
*If your device is already decrypted*
Wipe data and cache
Flash rom
Reboot
Notes:-
For encrypted people
Always create a backup of your internal storage.
Format data while upgrading from one android version to another.
Downgrading firmware may also require data format
Moving from Gapps build to non-gapps build or vice versa also requires fata format
For decrypted people
You don't need to flash the decrypted vendor everytime unless you come from miui
The vendor will not work on miui

You saved me. I had properly unlocked bootloader, flashed OrangeFox but then I did the wipes and also mistakely formated data, so I couldn't send files from PC to phone to flash the custom rom.
Guess I could've just used the usb otg at this point, but I reflashed MIUI with a script, and reflashed OrangeFox and now I'm good to go.
I thought current custom recoveries don't check for rollback protection (yet)?
It's probably safe to be flashing stock firmwares via custom recovery if you are sure you know what you're doing. But this guide seem to appeal to new comers. Should we suggest they stick to using Mi Flash tool for flashing stock firmwares as it has rollback protection checks?
Or am I just out of the loop and this is no longer the case with custom recoveries for surya/karna?
Thanks for the guide btw. Greatly appreciated.
I miss manually flashing each partition files via fastboot like when I was on my Nexus devices and my Essential PH-1. I have not seen a guide that recommends or even teaches us to flash partitions manually.

Yes it is safe to flash stock fw via custom recovery. ARB hasn't been implemented on surya yet.
Well manual flashing each partition using fastboot on surya is much more complicated. Dynamic partition work differently. In short one have to boot to fastboot than boot to fastbootd than you can flash rom
Are you sure it's not enabled? After running fastboot getvar anti, I get anti: 2 and I just bought the phone without doing any upgrades. Unless this alone doesn't mean that ARB is enabled?

No only if you get "anti:4" itmeans ARB is enabled, otherwise feel free to downgrade via fastboot.

Seems you're wrong. This XDA article states other way:
"
How to find current rollback index
Reboot to fastboot mode
Enter the following command: fastboot getvar anti
If the output is blank, then anti-rollback has not yet been enabled. If you get a number in the output, then that’s your current rollback index."

Use any fastboot stock ROM and MiFlash tool to restore your phone...or flash any custom recovery and use it to flash any recovery stock ROM to restore your phone.
I have 6 days to wait for unlocking the device. I can't wait to get rid of the Mi UI mess and bloat. I haven't had to do a complicated (for me) phone flash process like this since a Motorola phone in 2014. I have a a few questions:
1- Do I need to add/install adb drivers to my WIN10 PC? I came across win adb drivers for the POCO in my search for Windows PC drivers. Which version of adb is needed for Win10? I currently have abd my laptop, but I can't determine the version.
2- Installing the recovery - I see the steps some have posted with TWRP versions, but I'm not really clear on this. Do I go to the folder with TWRP in it and then use a command prompt from there? TWRP or Orange Fox and what version? The posts are confusing.
3- I'd like to have the easiest rom flash for my first go at this phone. I would appreciate a recommendation for which rom might be the best one to start with. I will be want gapps as part of the process, but could flash afterwards if its better that way. Is Arrow OS or Havoc a good choice?
Sorry for all the questions.
Thanks

Flashing ROM and Format data is the usual way....
I now. But the chronologie was another. First Format data, then flash Rom.
Usually in all my old device while flashing roms I have to wipe system data cache then I just flashed the rom, it's my first Xiaomi device I am confused as hell , should i never have to wipe system partition ? , Is flashing firmware necessary everytime ? Are there any risks associated with decrypted vendor ?please guide me I am not noob but these things are completely new to me
Device storage partition schemes have changed and are now dynamic, so previous procedures don't apply anymore. Closely follow your ROM developer instructions in order to avoid bricking your device.
