Hello, I am newbie yet so I am asking if anyone can explain the vendor's use, and what do I get from installing them.
Thank you for your time
Now almost roms here includes custom vendor. So you need firmware only.
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/vendor/beryllium/
And here's custom rom installation process
Flash rom
Flash firmware
Gapps(optional)
Dfe(if you don't want it to be encrypted)
Magisk(optional)
That's it. No need to know more.

Miui decided to use MODIFIED VENDOR IMAGE hence POCO F1 gets a modified vendor image for Android Pie-based Project Treble GSIs
what was the impact?
custom roms couldn't be flashed (booted) if you don't flash the modified vendor image from twrp
even today when most of the roms have their own vendor you still need to flash the vendor+firmware (atleast)
Developer Akhil Narang started collecting all releases at
https://mirror.akhilnarang.me/MIUI/beryllium/
currently I am using 9.6.27-9.0 which is working best for me, 10.3.6 image made my batter drainage high (atleast i noticed)
I am on HAVOC2.8 and this is how i did it
1. flashed TWRP 3.3.1 unofficial (download it from HERE ) ref Reference - as official twrp has TOUCH driver issues. this one worked with me very well
2. I wiped /data, /system then
3. flashed VENDOR.zip from HERE
4. FLASHED CUSTOM ROM (i use HAVOC2.8)
5. FLASHED DFE HERE - REFERENCE
6. FLASHED GOOGLE APPS ( GAPPS.ORG) ( ARM64>9.0MicroPackage)
7. Flash Kernel ( OPTIONAL- havoc uses shadow kernel , i feel optimus drunk kernel is better, battery and 4g connectivity) even Franco Kernel is very good
8. FLASHING MAGISK19.3
9. when i was on havoc2.7, by using MIGRATE, it made flashable zip of my APPS+DATA, stored in internalStorage, and now I will FLASH that file., Mine size goes to 2gb you can get it from HERE
10. WIPE CACHE/DELVIK
11. REBOOT
fire reboot may go in to bootloop and then second reboot may take a while and finally you should see Pixel Setup asking google accounts and info etc
-----------------------
extraa
once after you finish setup! don't RESTORE APPS from PLAYSTORE, (download only license apk, in my case I have purchases many apps from playstore and saperate license info is always appear in intial setup! SELECT THOSE ONLY)
ONCE playstore is DONE downloading all your selected (fewer) apps, and MAGISK ROOT is working...... put device on AIRPLANE MODE
FROM DROP DOWN Notification panel, CLICK MIGRATE, and it will prompt you what do you wana restore from your previouce ROM to newly flashed HAVOC ..APPS+SETTINGS+PERMISSION+DATA etc - migrate restoration may take upto 30 mins,
once done, uninstall from system and reboot device!
REMEMBER I DONOT RECOMEND MIGRATE TRICK FOR WHATSAPP, it doesn't work properly and NOTIFICATION ISSUES with BLANK DP observed by me whenever I forcely re-instated whatsapp by migrate!

I understand but I have installed some custom Roms without finding vendor image and still it works perfect.
And do I need to install this image every time I flash a new ROM?
Thanks

Flashing custom roms will not wipe anything, so the vendor is still there. And firmwares too.
Hi all,
So yea, i when i went into twrp 3.2.3-1 and i installed magisk 18.0 following happened.
(was following this guide: https://www.gizmochina.com/2019/06/28/install-twrp-root-poco-f1-magisk/ )
Okay first of all, i didnt get root access, even tho i had the magisk itself appear in the apps (along with magisk manager).
SO what i did was try to unninstall it following this guyide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72542167&postcount=242 (idk how to hyperlink)
(mind you im not trying to unroot it, since it failed to do that, without even telling me, found out when i tried some root only apps, and checker)
That didnt work either, matter of fact made matter worse. After doing that now my magisk manager app wont even open, its stuck and after couple of seconds it says App stopped working blabla.
So i the next thing i did is i downloaded Magisk-uninstaller-20191102.zip (idk from who im pissed beyond belief atm) that like did its thing from twrp except 1 line of red code saying something failed idk.
Then i tried: https://magiskroot.net/uninstall-magisk-module-twrp/ installed the zip on the phone, flashed into twrp, tried installing the stated zip, but it says "Invalid zip format! "Error installing zip file '/sdcard/mm-master.zip' (red line)
Like, why dont stuff simply just work? Why wasnt i rooted in the first place, and how do i completley get rid of magisk (ALL OF IT)
I dont know if magisk is installed like deeply in some software or like a regular app (thats why i didnt unninstall it that way) because i dont want its remains somewhere in my system..
Will another factory reset solve this?
Please. Thanks.
Edit: Can i have A PROPER guide on how to root this damn phone?
Edit: Cannot install Paypal (doesnt show up) which means something is definetly still going on.
first of all bro, always mention what Rom you were on? if stock rom then which version/build of MIUI? if custom rom then which one (pixel exp, crdroid, havoc, lineage, carbon, nitrogen, etc etc)
now
twrp3.2.3-1 is way old for Poco, now Twrp3.3.1-x is out , you should try that one!
also if i remember correctly, Magisk18 is for OREO, so I am pretty sure your android version is 9.x
please flash latest recovery and magisk20.1
it will surely work!
a proper guide is already running in discussion forum with MAXX views count! please search
edit: older twrp cannot read newer magisk script, your uninstaller (the link u gave) is the latest! so probably thats why twrp is giving error! , also twrp3.2.3 may not able to flash magisk20 also! it will give your zip file error/corrupt prompt!

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.

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.

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.

So, since there is not alot of development going on for our device, i thought we could maybe work together to get something done four our Mi Note 10.
Android Q (10) Guide
1) Flash Miui 12 beta
2) Flash Latest OrangeFox Recovery
3) Format Data
4) Wipe dalvik and cache
5) Reboot to Recovery
6) Flash an GSI of your choice (Arm64-AB)
7)Resize the system partition
8) Optional: Flash Opengapps
9) Optional: Flash Magisk
Restart system
Enjoy
(Big thanks to deathhall)
For me Havoc Q works really well, also face unlock works with Havoc
Havoc specific bugs: SMS doesnt work with 4G, Gcam works only with the main lens and frontfacing lens
Havoc 3.6
Android Pie (9) Guide
How to flash these on the Mi Note 10?
1) Flash Orange Fox TWRP
2) Factory reset in TWRP / format Data!
4) Fastboot: fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
5) Download the ARM64-AB version of your desired rom
6) Flash AB system.img of your GSI in TWRP
7) Flash magisk
8) reboot
That worked for me with both GSIs
Lineage OS 16.0
HAVOC OS 2.9
Whats not working?
- Fingerprint (Needs custom overlay)
- Automatic Brightness (Needs custom overlay)
- Camera works fine, but Video seems a little bit weird
- NFC, but this can be fixed with a magisk module
NFC FIX
Kind of a fix for automatic brightness
Video fix
If you have weird notification sounds delete the SoundFX folder from /Vendor/lib and /Vendor/lib64

Great work my friend, hopefully these will be the stepping stones to development and we can get the ball rolling on more in the future!

Try with 11.0.12
Couldnt get either to actually boot, couldn't get any OTA's to actually flash with OrangeFox.
I flashed:
miui_TUCANAEEAGlobal_V11.0.11.0.PFDEUXM_9fa3ae20ce_9.0
then tried to flash:
miui-blockota-tucana_eea_global-V11.0.11.0.PFDEUXM-V11.0.12.0.PFDEUXM-ecf4ee46b2-9.0
and just get an error.
I tried following your steps written in the OP, but the BlockOTA fails to flash. Or if I just use a fresh install and Format data, and try to install the GSI's it rewrites the system to system_root and magisk won't install and it just bootloops.

Maybe try 11.0.1. since its alot bigger than 12 and 11
Android 11 GSi is out can you give it a shot?
Status?
Is anybody using the LOS GSI as a daily driver?
If there is just the small amount of bugs like in the description, it might be fine for now. At least for me.
Or are there other small bugs 'not worth mentioning' ?
In another parallel thread 'Will there be a custom ROM?', two heros decided to work on our phone... I wish them the best!
Hi all, I have spent a good few weeks testing almost all Android 10 (Q) GSIs for tucana (our device). My findings are relatively positive and are as follows:
I got Pixel Experience as well as EvolutionX from @expressLukeGSI to boot and both seem to work with minimal bugs... The main bug I found was an audio bug commoly associated with GSIs; the audio sounds as if the device is underwater. A simple fix to this bug was flashing audiofix for GSIs.
I also got OxygenOS to boot from @erfanGSI as well as others but these had major bugs (e.g. device reboots automatically, immediately after connecting to WIFI).
Other Android Q GSIs that booted include LineageOS, CAOS, AOSP, Descendant as well as Havoc (from GSI page - Android Q Section - on Github). With regards to LineageOS, once rooted with magisk it will NOT boot.
Under Display Fingerprint does NOT work on any GSIs currently and Face Unlock only works on specific GSIs.
If you'd like more info on the GSIs I have tested or would like me to test further please don't hesitate to contact me via private message, I'll be glad to help wherever possible.

Sorry, I never saw the "imo" part of your reply.
That is correct, once again this is minor for me but maybe not for some. Although I can confirm that battery drain is significantly decreased when using GSIs. Even without the auto brightness battery life is much better.
I am currently using/testing the Evolution X GSI from ExpressLukeGSI.

Yeah batterylife on GSIs is insane, maybe ill try one again. But the missing fingerprint and faceunlock bother me quite alot
BTW are you using Q GSIs?

Yes, I am using Q GSIs
Interesting, i cant get GSIs to boot, did you do something different?
Are you wiping Dalvik, System, Data and Cache, and then flashing the preferred GSI?
If the above method is not working, search "Download the MIUI 12 Closed Beta for Xiaomi and Redmi devices XDA" on google, download MIUI 12 beta for tucana/Mi Note 10 (our device) and flash it in TWRP. Then perform a wipe as usual and flash preferred GSI.

I was on MIUI 20.6.11 -MiRoom when I flashed the Bliss GSI, my exact steps where:
Flash Latest OrangeFox Recovery
Formata Data
Format dalvik and cache
Reboot to Recovery
Flash GSI -Arm64-AB or BvN depending on the owner
Go to Data in the manage partition menu and resize partition
Flash Opengapps, I used 10.0 Pico
Restart system
Admittedly, I flashed the GSI but not the gapps first, just to see if it would boot, which it did. then I formatted only cache and dalvik, then resized and flashed Gapps. and it booted and took me right into the setup from the notification that came up when it booted.
Hey guys found our first custom ROM, it's not official but I've been using it for about a week now and the performance is excellent.
There is not many bugs that I've noticed and build is very stable. One big I've noticed is that when kernel is on performance, the screen does not go off automatically.
I've used Kernel Tasker to avoid this issue by turning on performance for certain apps and games, while keeping the system at Interactive for most tasks.
At the bottom is the link for instructions, the OS and gapps. There is a thread in this forum for passing safety net which I recommend. It solved all issues for me since magisk is failing safety net while other safety apps are passing. All the best rooting enjoy the ROM.

I am still using this ROM daily with no problems, before you flash make sure you remove Mi Account. If you do not remove account, phone will bootloop with any ROM you flash.
Pitch black recovery keeps restarting every time when I tried to flash this custom
I don't know what is wrong
Tried so much but in vein
Finally I flashed my phone and makes it workable

Defintely something wrong. I *did*remove my Mi Account, but to no avail, the phone keeps returning to Pich Black Recovery. I would say: not at all recommended to use this ROM. I am quite experienced in rooting phones, but this one fails in any respect. Do not use this ROM!

I don't know what u guys are doing wrong but I'm still using this ROM till today, haven't found anything else but haven't really looked either.
Follow the instructions on the website to the T, wipe when it tells u to wipe and flash everything in order.
The model 9C I'm using is the global variant and it's not NFC. So perhaps you guys are using different variant but I doubt that could be the problem.
I believe somewhere u guys skipped or improvised a step because from my experience with rooting, 1 little detail skipped or over looked or something that might seem harmless can brick a phone.
I have been rooting since 2015 and my 1st phone was hauwei mate 7. Nearly hard bricked the phone and I had to pay to unlock bootloader using DC Unlocker. I rooted using a 3rd party rooting app, can't remember the name but it almost cost me the phone.
But this ROM works for me but it's a gsi ROM, it's not actually a custom ROM. There are other gsi ROMs out there that u could try. Download treble info for more info on which gsi is compatible.

I remember now, King Root that was the culprit app I used with that hauwei mate 7. 1st and last time I ever rooted with 3rd party app. I was so proud of myself when I saved that phone lol still am.
Booting into Lineage ROM. Perhaps others will have difficulty but if u follow instructions carefully and phone has been rooted properly, it will work.
I recommend the guide for rooting by 0purple. How to root and pass safetynet.
Also very important remove Mi account and reboot phone to insure that phone won't lock similar to Google account lock. So remove all accounts and back up data. As the instructions indicate you will be wiping phone as OS requires a clean install.
i flash this customer rom to remove mi account after done camera not work! and after format user data now stuck at recovery i reflash it with stock rom and custom rom but always stuck at logo ! any solution pleas?

I think the ROM originally posted might have a problem. Try follow my link and use 'snooks4tech's' rom. There is also a different recovery and vbmeta in this download that I flashed in fastboot. The rest of the process I more or less followed as per dawood99's video, eg the step to wipe those 3 things in Pitchblack, copy this rom over, and install it along with Gapps and Magisk with Pitchblack. I don't see Magisk in my phone now though. I'm not very experienced with custom roms BTW so not too sure if I had the right Magisk file. Snooks4tech's download has got instructions as well and does not mention Magisk. Thanks to Dawood99 for the video, even if I had problems with the rom it gave me a good overview of the steps and I learned a lot.
PS maybe I didn't answer your question. I had to download the Mi flasher, somehow I got it back into Fastboot, I think by holding power and down volume, then flashed it back to stock Xiaomi. Then I started the custom rom flashing process again. I think I flashed Pitchblack again, and Snooks4tech's vbmeta and recovery. It then booted into Pitchblack properly again, and I could do the rest.
So far this rom is working reasonably well for me, Google play store doesn't work but I side-install APK's by downloading from browser. F-droid app is also intermittently not giving me any apps when I search.
Again I'm not expert at all this so take what I say with a pinch of salt, I could be talking rubbish here and there.
Both ROMs and Install Instructions cause in a boot into PBRP recovery (tried with v3.0+3.1) and MIUI also doesn't boot :-(
My steps:
- In PBRP recovery
-> adb reboot bootloader
In Bootloader
-> fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta9c.img
Then I reboot phone with 3 different trys
-> 1. fastboot reboot
-> 2. Power On + Vol Up
-> 4. Power On + Vol Down
--> With all trys phone reboots into PBRP recovery
Push ZIP Files via MTP isn't possible, so:
-> adb push [LineageROM].zip /
-> adb push [GApps].zip /
Then in PBRP I go to "Install"
-> [LineageROM].zip with "Patch AVB2.0 Verity"
-> [GApps].zip also with "Patch AVB2.0 Verity"
Then I reboot to system from PBRP
But then PitchBlack reboots into recovery
Upgrade and downgrade of PBRP from 3.0 to 3.1 and back to 3.0 works without any problems.
Please help me, many thanks in advance!
/edit: Flashed original MIUI and reinstalled PBRP, then tried to install Lineage again, but boots only in recovery after flashing booth ROMs.

Thanks dude but I'm not responsible for making that video or am I responsible for the website or the files posted on it. I merely stumbled upon the ROM and I should not be credited for it. The creator is credited on the Website I believe and all credit should go to him.
