I have SD version of the phone with unlocked bootloader, rooted, and twrp installed. I am unable to flash any of the CM based roms as none of these roms are able to detect my sim cards. The only rom which works fine is the Global Developer rom. Even when I try to install Stable stock, it gets stuck at verifing Mi account page. I tried wiping literally everything but even then, no success. Please help. Thanks.
Why are you unable to flash CM based ROMs? What does TWRP shows when you try to flash?

The problem has been solved. There wasnt a problem in flashing but the cm based roms didnt used to detect my sim cards. I just flashed radios.zip file and now everything works well. Thanks.
Hello, I would like to ask for some information.
Im currently running Stock Android 6.0 on my Redmi3, but I would like to get back to global, stable miui 8. Since I have trwp installed and everyting... How do I install miui again now? Should I do trough fastboot and flash with MiFlash? If it will work, wont TWRP delete?
Reason behind me wanting to get back is stable rom. Im bored of crashes bugs and etc, also I want to recieve updates automaticly witouth doing factory resets and all nonsene..
i wanted to go back to Miui & used miflash
i lost everything including files on internal sd so backup before flash anything

You should do trough fastboot and flash with MiFlash, but do backup before flash anything first..:good:
About TWRP, you might be lost that thing.. But of course you just installed back again
.. CMiiW ..

Well guys, i would like to know if i should restore the backup that i made to MIUI8 MM after start flashing ROMS in order to flash the new RR 5.8.
Today i flashed MIUI 8.6.1.12 via MiFlash, then, i installed TWRP and flashed CM13 Official (downloaded from the official site) WITHOUT FLASHING CM13 FIRMWARE and the GAPPS. All was alright until i decided to input a pattern to lock my phone, the application "settings" crashed every time i tried to set up a pattern. So, i decided to wipe all the phone and flash RR Based on android MM, WITHOUT FLASHING CM13 FIRMWARE, it booted normally, but when it asked for wifi, it didnt detect anyone, and it also didnt detect my 2 sim cards. So i reflashed that RR ROM, but this time, flashing CM13 Firmware first, but still no solution, no wifi and no sim-cards
What should i do?
Thanks :fingers-crossed:

If you were able to boot into TWRP, reboot to recovery > wipe everything > flash this firmware : https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=889964283620754602, next flash any custom rom (download any rom from development section), flash Gapps > reboot! Lemme know how it goes. Good luck.
Not worked...problem remains same
Just download Lazy Flasher .Zip file. and install it via twrp after flashing custom rom .
Your problem will solve for sure.
same happens for me since yesterday. I was using a custom rom since some time and without changing anything after reboot I am running into the same trouble.
Have tried to reinstall official miui rom, lock bootloader etc.
I am afraid this might be a hardware failure.
Hi,
was able to fix my note 4. Have installed twrp 3.1.1-8.0 on my second note 4 and created a backup of all partitions to sd card. Then I have adjusted the serial number of the stored backup to match the one of the broken note 4. After restoring the whole device with the backup files from the working device the reboots are gone.
But it seems like now IMEI, MAC address and Bluetooth address are invalid and/or not correct. Was able to fix at least IMEI.
Have not identified any further issues so far.
BTW: from inside twrp recovery the phone never rebooted.
it seems to be a problem with firmware without firmware the device will boot fine but there wont be bt, fp , calling, sound, wifi etc.
but with firmware it will just bootloop.
Hi guys. I want to flash pixel experience rom on my poco f1. But the problem is i cannot find an updated thread. Some threads are mentioning to flash forced encryption disabler and some are not. Some are saying to flash orangefox instead of twrp. And one things is that many are reporting that they cannot restore the twrp backup of the miui 10. Since i bought the phone from india and i am working abroad where there is no xiaomi service available, i cannot afford a locked out device. And also this is my only phone that i use for personal and work related matters. I am on latest miui 10.3.5 global stable version and rooted with magisk using twrp hot boot method.
So it will be really awesome if some one update me with latest procedure for flashing pixel rom and please tell me if i can revert back to miui using twrp backup? I miss the stock android that much.
Thanks in advance. ?

Well flashing the rom is simple; since you are already on latest miui, there's no need to flash vendor-firmware separately. Just flash the rom and magisk if needed. There's no harm in flashing Dfe but its optional since latest twrp including ofx, pitch black, etc reads encryption. just make sure to remove your pin/fingerprints and both google and mi accounts before flashing other roms; just to be on the safe side. i havent tried restoring backups but i think latest twrps have fixed that issue. anyway if u want to get back to miui you can download full rom and flash it through twrp. always backup your imp datas

Thanks mate.... Understood very well. Is there a flashable zip file for miui global stable version or xiaomi.eu roms are the only option??

1. FED was used to disable the "Forced encryption". Most recoveries now support decryption. Although encryption is almost useless after unlocking the bootloader but you'll still find some lazy ass people like me who are still encrypted. If you like to disable encryption, just remember to flash FED whenever you flash a new vendor and or any ROM that comes with an inbuilt vendor (MIUI stock), otherwise your storage will be encrypted again.
2. Most recoveries here including orange fox are custom versions of TWRP. The recovery version one wants depends on the user preferences and the "extra" features available in some recoveries.
3. Nandroid backups work fine but you'll need to backup and restore "IMAGE BACKUPS" instead of the old classic backups. Backing up and restoring old classic backups ends in a bootloop due to verified boot.
I have the same questions as well. I'm about to upgrade my Redmi Note 7 to Poco F1.
Since the Poco F1 is a couple months old, there might be some changes on the method when flashing TWRP and custom ROMS. On my Redmi Note 7, I just flashed Orange Fox recovery and removed my PIN and pattern before flashing the custom recovery, then wiped data and internal storage.
The community suggests Orange Fox recovery because of its stability, other unofficial TWRP had too many bugs.
I didn't encountered the "encryption" scenario when after booting your device, the system will ask for the PIN and no matter what you entered, it won't accept it. I didn't even flash any forced encryption disabler on my Redmi Note 7 and didn't face any issues so far.
So my question is, is the Orange Fox recovery the best recovery for Poco F1? Do I have to flash the forced encryption disabler thing?
I understand that I have to wipe data(this includes wiping the internal storage-photos,videos and music) It doesn't really matter to me because I already saved my important files on my laptop.

If you are prepared to wipe/format data if required, then there is no need for DFE.
@tnsmani @RebornCheiko
Hi i am still on global 10.3.5 stable, rooted with magisk and twrp is not installed (only hot booted).
1. Can i just flash dfe on my current rom (because somebody said it will increase the performance)
2 what about ota update? If i just flash dfe Will it ask for any pin after doing ota update?? Or i can just update and then flash dfe again
3. Also i have one doubt. i flashed pixel rom few days back (just after creating this thread ?) and i decided to revert back to miui. So i restored my twrp backup of miui and got bootloop (only just now i found out you saying about the "image backup"). Then i flashed the 10.3.5 zip and vendr/firmware also. But after booting it asked me for pin. i had to fastboot flash the rom again. It wiped all my data. So what did i do wrong here. And if resotre miui using backed up image do i need to flash dfe??. Coz its really difficult to back up all the data in my phone every time i flash a rom. Thats holding me back from enjoying the custom roms. So any clarification would be highly appreciated. Thanks
I probably flash a different ROM / kernel combination every single day. Sometimes more than once a day. Right now I am on the latest unofficial LineageOS, with Optimus Drunk kernel and Pico Gapps. Sometimes I don't flash Gapps at all and go Googleless. I know, scary eh?
I only use one sim card so I have a 64gb SD card in the other slot. On that card I have a folder that contains copies of the latest versions of my favourite firmwares, ROMs, kernels, mods and backups.
I do a clean wipe each and every time I flash. I first format the data partition, then wipe all other partitions except the micro SD card and the OTG option.
Then I reboot back into recovery so the system has access again to the data partition.
Then I select my SD card and flash, in this order:
1) Firmware (only if changing to a different version).
2) ROM (if flashing MIUI, don't flash firmware, its included)
3) Magisk, always.
4) Kernel (flash after Magisk because some kernels want Magisk available during the flash)
5) Gapps, or sometimes MicroG (from Nanodroid)
6) additional mods
7) Backup file (from Migrate app)
I always make sure to backup data, photos etc either to my SD card or to a cloud service. I stopped using Titanium Backup when Migrate came out. It creates a nice flashable zipfile backup of apps, the apps data and permissions.
I can change ROMs, and be back up and running in 10 minutes like this. Its a real addiction! Lol. It satisfies my little OCD.
DFE (Disable Forced Encryption) is completely optional. In fact, I only ever flash it when I flash ViperOS because if I don't, encryption fails every time.
You aren't going to notice a difference in overall speed whether you're encrypted or not. I allow the encryption process to happen because I'm a human being with occassionally irrational feelings. For me, if my ROM has encrypted my data and SELinux is enforcing, I feel safer, even though its probably just placebo.
As far as ROMs go, PE is nice. Its got all the things most people need and its pretty solid and bug free. My personal preference goes with SiberiaOS, RevengeOS, LineageOS or if I'm feeling like MIUI, I go with MI-Globe version and remove all the optional apps and services removed (wish they also had an option to disclude Gapps) using their ROM Builder.
I hope this helps a bit.
Most of the time it comes down to trial and error really. Try all the ROMs and kernels and mods. There are lots of great combinations out there. Our development community is pretty good!

I can understand brother.... Back in the days i was also like this. Testing roms and kernels every day. But now I don't have time for any of this. And you are right about addiction and It's definitely an OCD. I can relate.
