Android pie ROMs not working in redmi note 5 - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers

A month ago I tried installing Android 9.0 ROM and i got reboot loop after I did the phone setup. I tried different ROMs and everything had the same problem. Even twrp will also stop showing any files in the device and I need to change the file system and revert it back again then mount my phone to desktop and transfer the ROM. I was told that it was because of me not installing MIUI 10 before trying it. So today I installed MIUI 10 and tried installing lineage 16.0 and got the same problem. Phone starts going into reboot And recovery does not show any files!
Please help me from this hell! I'm hating this MIUI.

First of all I have to assume that you are sure that you have Redmi 5 plus (Vince) and not Redmi Note 5 Pro (Whyred), if this is the case let´s go to the next.
Any Miui rom encrypts data by default at least from oreo so no way to avoid this, if you flash a Miui rom then your data wont´be accesible and the next rom to be flashed you have to sideload it via adb (there are other ways).
I think you missed something here, if you flash a mui rom and over it a pie rom then there´s no way that your device reboots to system. You only have to flash firmware 8.1 from miui not the whole rom.
Start this from the scratch; I recommend OrangeFox recovery instead of TWRP so it has more features https://forum.xda-developers.com/re.../official-orangefox-recovery-project-t3807479
- Before to flash nothing In orangeFox recovery enable the options DM-verity and disable force encryption, you will find too options to keep OTA and others, check which you want.
- Flash the firmware miui 8.1 https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603850663
- Flash the pie rom for vince (may not apply for a GSI pie)
- Flash the Gapps (if needed)
it´s all.
Just a tip; be careful with changing system of files at any time so if the process is cutted/interrupted for some reason your device could be seriously damaged.

it does. you just need to flash firmware file first.

Help needed with Miui8

My phone has following
1. Unofficially unlocked bootloader
2. Stwrp v2 installed as permanent recovery
3. Rooted running on miui 7 global beta LP
I want to upgrade to miui 8 global beta marshmallow with unlocked bootloader
What I have tried so far
1. Tried replacing emmc_appsboot.mbn and then EDL,FASTBOOT flashing miui 8
Problem with above method:
(a) Firstly when I was using old (LP) patched/unlocked emmc_appsboot file I was getting infinite bootloop or can't verify find device info error with various combination
(b) when I used patched bootloader for marshmallow ( I was not even aware there is such a thing) I was able to boot into miui 8 and was even able to unlock it and flash twrp but IN THIS CASE TWRP DOES NOT MOUNT /DATA PARTION AS WRITE no matter what I do so I am not able to flash anything, internal memory is shown as 0 MB.
2.To solve this I used Android kitchen to modify boot.img to disable encryption and verity check( I guess ... something like that there is a thread for it on miui forums)and flashed miui8 with this custom boot.img
Problem with this approach
(a) TWRP mounts all partition as write however MIUI SETTINGS APP KEEPS CRASHING ON UNLOCKING THE PHONE , ALSO ON LAUNCHING IT DIRECTLY. what I mean is if I launch settings app from icon or from pulldown quicksettings it crashes but if I access specific settings like wifi settings from quick pulldown there is no issue
(b) every time I try uninstalling any app PHONE SOFT REBOOTS (UI) AND CANNOT UNINSTALL ANY APP
I thought my partitions might be messed up and tried flashing stable ROM to get them back but no use its all same story again.
I cannot unlock official way because I have messed up my mi account real bad it is not getting deleted
PLEASE HELP ME TO USE MIUI 8 MARSHMALLOW

I would suggest you flash the latest fastboot global dev rom using MiFlash. I don't know how you went to stable but if it was through MiFlash remember to choose the Flash all option and normally everything should go back to normal.
What about other roms like cyanogen ? Do you encounter the same problem ?
Nope I used EDL to flash stable

ERROR 7 while updating lineage OS

I had downloaded latest version of lineage OS from official website and I tried to flash on my REDMI Note 3 Kenzo but I can't here is the screenshot attached of remark.
Pls help
I was just about to post about this. I have the same issue, a work around I found was described in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGVOR0kugZw
However, now that I have it installed, and try to OTA update, I get the same, I have to repeat the steps in the video every time I update, kinda frustrating and unnecessary imho. I had the latest MIUI updated and unlocked with the miui unlocker before the wiping and installing. All I have found its related to the bootloader not supporting android N.
Look at the error and you will see the issue.
Your firmware is too old.
Download one from Lineage thread and flash that before Lineage
update, I installed the firmware from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/firmware-hmnote3proglobal-t3574361
now update goes thru like its supposed to
every recovery i flash gives me ERROR 7 :/
i have a 'kate' and befor i used to flash roms without issue. kenzo roms and flash kate modem done.
but phone crashed some months ago so i changed but now i want it again. and now im back on did a edl flash miui beta unlocked bootloader flashed twrp (all the twrp possible btw i tried all i could find) they all dont want to flash a custom rom i tried 7 different ZIP of custom roms... i tried to flash 4 diffeeent versions of RR 5.7.4 and 1 RR 5.8.4 all give error 7. flash kate modem. still error, then flashed modem with emmc thing patched nope still wont flash any custom rom
does anybody know how to fix this
You have to erase dalvik cache and DATA it will bring you new setup but still your device would be updated....

MIUI 10 developer rom to MIUI 11 stable rom

Hi.
I have a Redmi Note 4x running on latest MIUI 10 developer rom (8.12.20), with OrangeFox recovery installed.
Now you made the MIUI 11 recovery rom available, so what would be best process to update my phone?
Thanks in advance!!
So, tired of waiting for suggestions, I ended up doing the following:
Download MIUI 10 stable rom and install it using the system package update
Download MIUI 11 recovery rom and install it using system package update
It turned out it was that easy. I didn't even had to reinstall apps or prefs, everything stayed in place.
Running MIUI 11 now.
So what is a system package update if you can walk me through I'd be thankful ,, I usually use twrp to flash roms and lose my apps and data.
edit : thank you ,figuered it out by pressing miui 10 logo 10 times you open kind of developer options for the update app
updated manually then ,sad thing is it bricked the dark mode on my system

Glad you could figure it out.
I switched to OrangeFox instead of TWRP because I had developer rom and every week I needed to reinstall TWRP. With OrangeFox I didn't need to reinstall anymore.

Twrp with miui 11

Hey, recently I've updated to miui 11 and I've unlocked the bootloader long ago but I couldn't install twrp on my phone, every time I push the up volume button and power it leads me to the mi recovery, and if I press down volume button it leads me to the fastboot with that communist rabbit.
I'm quite tired of trying over and over watching every tutorial of Hindi kids speaking as fast as a squirrel and I just want to know if someone did it with miui 11 working and explain me how to install that damned custom recovery
I think someone has to build the recovery, because I tried to flash the TWRP, but I can't install it.
TWRP that is compatible for Redmi 6A MIUI 11 does not exist yet.
Even the previous version of "MIUI v10.4.4.0" which now used "Android 9 or Pie" replacing ""Android 8.1" had to use an unofficial modified TWRP to get it working.
if i update via twrp with the v11.0.5recoverymode zip file what happen? it will brick?
well, i did it
the update package install normally without errors for me, but when i try to enter in twrp, it is erased, instead is the stock recovery lul
my steps:
>Previusly have Android 9 Pie MIUI 10 (i think was v10.4.4) with TWRP 3.3.1 MOD (For pie) and root with magisk (20.0)
> Donwload the recovery package (1.4GB in MIUI11 oficial you can donwload it)
> Go to TWRP in your phone
> Install the package
> Reboot
- I did not install the Magisk bacause i forgot that, but the system runs normally
- I dont know what happen if you root the phone after zip installation (maybe brick)
- You will erase your TWRP, basically you will have a stock phone
- Now there isnt a TWRP official or mods for MIUI V11.0.5

So right now your phone is on MIUI 11 but not rooted correct?
Just now. I just installed TWRP and have root on my phone. All seems to be working fine.

Xiaomi Poco F1 touch not working after installing TWRP!

Hey guys i have an issue, i was running Pixel Experience 10 but on MIUI 10, i couldn't update the last one so i thought to get back to stock rom, update to miui 11 and then get back to my Pixel rom. I DID A BIG MISTAKE. I installed the Miui 11 Update through TWRP without restoring the stock miui 10 rom. It worked but i had lost my Pixel rom ( i have a backup), ok then i installed TWRP at the MIUI 11 because recovery mode got me at Xiaomi Recovery for some reason. Inside the TWRP i flashed Disabled forc Encryption, but it didnt flash the Magisk, i reboot to system and after 100 bootloops i tried to go back to recovery mode, it boot at TWRP but since then, the TOUCHSCREEN DOESN'T WORK.. I used xiaomi mi flash tool to return to stock rom, it did, locked the bootloader etc...the touchscreen still doesn't work though... I can connect a mouse with OTG Type-C and i can do anything you tell me in order to fix it.. i have already update to MIUI 11, unlock the bootloader, installed TWRP and have Root. Has anyone any idea or a solution to try? Thanks everyone in advance.
