Data loss if update from Oreo to Pie MIUI ROM? - Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers

To all XDA members and Dev, I have a simple question. I do know that updating MIUI ROM from stable to beta will cause data wipe. So does when updating to EU MIUI ROM. and MIUI 9 to MIUI 10/ vice versa.
However, when updating MIUI 10 Android Oreo to Android PIE, will it cause data wipe or loss? I have searched many threads to answer this question. Yet, nothing comes up. I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question. Thank you.

Hi,
I was running on MIUI 10 beta Oreo and flashed the Pie zip without wiping using TWRP,
all of my data was there, everything worked like normal. I did not even notice any difference.

How to do It without wipe data? Do You haverá a vídeo or something?

No, I flashed the zip using TWRP and rebooted and it worked fine without wiping.

Pie is still in BETA stage for Poco F1 and like any other BETA update, device will automatically get wiped.

To answer your question, you need to be specific, current miui version and which to go for, bootloader unlock, twrp.
In my previous experience, I dirty flashed from Miui 10 Global Stable 10.0.6.0 to Miui 10 Global public beta 8.11.15 via TWRP. After flash the rom, flash FED 17.3, clear dalvik cache and reboot.
But if you want to flash to Miui 10 Global closed beta from global stable, you will need to wipe data as I know.

Can't get into 7.1xx ROMs

Hi,
I have been using Nexys Experience ROM and I am in love with it. However, recently I wanted to try a 7.1 ROM. I am officially bootloader unlocked and currently using twrp-3.0.M4-0
The problem I am facing, no matter how I try, I cannot boot any 7.1 ROM. I have tried RR, CM14.1 and their respective firmware but after flashing the ROMs never boot and stuck on bootlogo.
Possible Combinations I tried:
1) Flashed CM14.1 Firmware
2) Flashed CM14.1 ROM + Gapps
Result: Stuck on Bootlogo animation
1) Flashed CM14.1 ROM + Gapps
2) Flashed CM14.1 Firmware
Result: Stuck on Bootlogo animation
1) Flashed RR ROM + Gapps
2) Flashed CM14.1 Firmware
Result: Stuck on Bootlogo animation
I use f2fs on /data and /cache
Any probable solution?
Is there any errors occurred during flashing process?

Nevermind, I reformatted /data and /cache using ext4 again and flashed EU Rom. Seems to be working. I tried EU rom before but it wasn't working because of f2fs.
Will try any 14.1 rom soon.

Glad to hear that u overcame ur problem by yourself, and good luck mate.

f2fs is good but as I will need to go back & forth MIUi & CM/AOSP I guess it's better to stay on EXT4 for now. Until MIUI adds f2fs support.
@saiftheboss7
Hows nexus rom? Is it better then miui in terms of performance and stability? And dual sims are working on nexus experience rom?
I am currently on latest Miui 8 MM 6.12.8 (Epic Rom).. I have ZCX twrp installed and bootloader unlocked officially, can you guide where to start so that I can go back and forth Miui Cm/AOSP, I mean is there anything which need to be backed up before moving to nexus rom so that I can easily come back to Miui 8 MM..

IMO Nexus Experience is the most stable ROM I used. And the dev doesn't push any useless updates. In my usage, it was so much better than miui. I didn't try dual sim because I have only single sim. But should work without any trouble.
If you are official unlocked first flash the twrp recovery from TheStrix's CM thread. After twrp you can install any MIUI from Xiaomi Eu via the twrp recovery. They update the rom when there is a new stable release. Xiaomi eu roms are better than global rom because it does not have unnecessary softwares and also the china based rom which is more stable and optimized. I also used a debloating script that stripped away all junks of MIUI.
If you want to switch from miui, flash any custom rom using the same procedure. However, you should always do a wipe (factory reset) before flashing any rom.

Thank you very much for guidance, I need both of my sims to work so its my main concern, If somebody is using dual sims on NX experience rom 10.4 kindly let me know so that I can flash it as well.
There is twrp-3.0.M4-0 recovery recommended by TheStrix on his CM thread, is this the one?
If we check nexus experience rom's page, they have recommended to use alka recovery only, kindly check below:
http://en.miui.com/thread-357205-1-1.html
And which version of Radon Kernel you are using? Is it 3.2?
Best Regards,

NX Experience is a very nice and smooth rom I have just installed it and I'm loving it.
Kindly let me know how to enable screenshot button in notification panel? I can't find it anywhere.. The only thing which I am missing right now coming from Miui, is three fingers swipe down to take screenshot, is there any alternative?
Did you install Xposed Framework? If yes then which version and from where did you download it..
Thanks & Best Regards,

Cannot Boot Custom ROMs Anymore. Just Bootloops

Been using the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 (Kenzo) for a long time now and since the ROM was outdated, I decided to update it this past weekend. However for whatever reason, something broke and I've been getting bootloops. Since then, this is what I did and it still doesn't work.
Used MiFlash to fastboot flash MIUI v8.5.1.0 Global Stable, and then OTA updated to v8.5.2.0.
Test the phone to make sure all functions work properly.
Immediately officially unlocked the bootloader using Mi Unlock.
Fastboot flashed TWRP 3.1.1.0.
Made EFS and ROM backups as usual.
Clean flashed Resurrection Remix 5.7.4 (Radon kernel) with /data and /cache as F2FS.
Flashed Open Gapps 6.0 ARM64 Mini.
Right now, I'm back to running stock MIUI v8.5.1.0, which was flashed using MiFlash. Then I did the OTA update to MIUI v8.5.2.0. May someone please guide me or correct the above steps in order to install the linked Resurrection Remix ROM? Or maybe a Nougat ROM?

Flash LOS 13 which is far stable than the RR 5.7.4. You should've flashed another rom before moving back to MIUI. The process you followed is correct but you also need to flash the compatible firmware like for RR you need CM13 firmare and for LOS you'll the recommended firmware posted in the thread itself.
I went through some ROM threads and one recommended flashing MIUI8 Global DEVELOPER and not Global STABLE. Am I supposed to be using MIUI 8 Global DEVELOPER as the starting point?

The Resurrection Remix build I linked is based off of LineageOS 13 so it should be stable.
So you're saying I missed flashing a firmware? I see some ROMs recommend flashing the firmware, while others don't. Which is the proper firmware to flash if the ROM thread doesn't state which firmware to use?

The one on this thread. Second post.
well seems to be a new problem...
so what must be done... i will suggest to get latest miui fastboot rom from here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/links-direct-official-download-links-t3449488
flash it via mi flash tool (im running 64 bit os ,so using mi flash beta ) in edl mode by wiping full things including storage..
if your boot loader is unlocked official way it must be unlocked now also if not i guess you know how to unlock it officially.
then use official twrp from
www.twrp.me
i faced this issue once and did the exact steps above and now no problem..
by the way i tried things like unplugging battery from the board... lol... read in miui forum...
I've been having very similar issues (updated official firmware in a non officially unlocked bootloader).
It's been hell but I've managed to get los14.1 installed. Now my issue lies with constant gapps crashes. I'm thinking of just giving up and getting miui.

One would think so but in reality is the other way around. I'm using a 20170303 and it has been the most stable version across all my devices and so on.

I've tried yesterdays version. Play store wouldn't even open. Dirty flashed 0625 play store opens but a lot of apps crash, everything works fine with 0303.
I'm flashing miui and I'm going to try the official bootloader unlock, but this have been a couple of strange days.

dirty flashing isn't a solution ... theres changes in trees of the rom and kernel..
anyway head back to miui unlocl officially and when coming back to custom rom do wipe everything and give it a shot..probably the crash may be due to over written or exiating files...
happy flashing
~peace
I should mention I clean flashed the ROMs. Updated OP.
Ok trying it again right now and so far, this is what I did:
Used MiFlash to fastboot flash MIUI v7.7.6 Global DEV.
Test the phone to make sure all functions work properly.
Tried to unlock bootloader using Mi Unlock but it said bootloader is already unlocked.
Boot into MIUI again.
Fastboot flashed TWRP 3.1.1.0.
No boot into MIUI.
Flash Kenzo firmware 8.2.4.0 in TWRP
Clean flash LineageOS 13 and Open Gapps 6.0 ARM64 Mini with /data and /cache in EXT4
IT WORKS!
I guess now I'll try Resurrection Remix.

Constant restarts on Pie custom roms

Hello.
I am facing constant restarts on any Pie custom rom. I use reccomended treble TWRP, i have newest MIUI firmware, i wiped cashe\dalvik\system\data, and i formated data completely prior to installing. As soon as it boots, it restarts, and it happens over and over again. Am i missing something?

No. I had similar experiences. I eventually got GZOSP, which proved stable. I'm back to Oreo, of course.

I managed to figure it out. We need MIUI firmware based on global 8.1 rom (i had latest weekly build, but based on 7.1 rom). Just flash this and you are ready for Pie. Installed AospExtended and everything works great so far.

Updating miui

I Want to update to stable last ver but i have root and various magisk modules, is there a way to update without losing these? Im On stable stock
flash this stock recovery of POCO.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1O64q5Ldd6KylC3zxlcKm39okFY_-Kjww
download the Update of MIUI ROM and install.
after you boot onto latest MIUI, you can flash TWRP from fastboot with cmd and install MAGISK again.(I also had an instance when i updated the same way but i had Magisk and all the modules active even after updating. Goodluck,though.)
Hit thanks if i helped.

Taking the title of the topic, I would like to clarify a doubt: I am in beta 9.1.24, as soon as they launch a new update of the miui beta, I update by the updater of the device? I lose the data or is it the same way it works in the stable updates?

Updating from beta to beta builds will not erase data. But, if you're a Stable user and try to install a beta build through MIUI stock recovery then your data will be erased.

Xiaomi EU V11 Rom updated to android 10

xiaomi eu Based on China Stable rom Adnroid 10
V11 11.0.1.0
Download from here
install from twrp recovery
Yeap, nice one, just dirty flashed (Clear cache & dalvik 1st) from mi.eu stable 11.0.8.0 via OrangeFox.
Everything works great so far, no issue, better then mi.eu stable v11.0.8.0 Android Pie.
One note: since the ROM upgrades Android version from 9 to 10, the data encryption changes (if you enable it), so the next time you boot into recovery after upgrade you won't be able to decrypt data to flash new stuff (as I tried to do with Magisk). Normally the recovery displays a password prompt for decryption but in my case they didn't. My solution is to flash the latest TWRP from the official website. Not sure if anyone would encounter this problem, so I'll just throw it out there.

You need to upgrade your TWRP Recovery.
I was using OrangeFox R10.1_3 when I upgraded to mi.eu Android 10, it works great with Android 10 encryption, I can see files after I enter my lockscreen pattern and flash files (I only flashed hosts file, I don't use Magisk).
