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.

Hi!
I just got my redmi note 2 and found the device full of chinese apps and the battery life was not what I expected.So I want to flash a new rom and a custom recovery.So I tried to flash TWRP 2.5.7 and I Followed these steps:
downloaded TWRP 2.5.7 and renamed it update.zip
Saved it to Internal Memory
Used the updater app, phone automatically went to the recovery mode
started flashing TWRP
but when The process reached 99% a error message read"update.zip signature verification failed"
I did a full wipe and did it all over again.Same error.also tried MI PC suite but it would'nt let me create a backup hence no flashing.So I am at my wits end here folks.Please help!!!!! And being new to MIUI doesn't help either
I am currently running on MIUI 7.0 stable (7.0.8.0)
SOS SOS!!!!!
You can't flash an unsigned zip file with updater/mi recovery.
MiPCSuite can't create Redmi Note 2 backups, it's a bug.
For install twrp recovery install an official developer rom (you can find it on http://en.miui.com). Now you have root access going into Security / Permissions / Root Permissions.
Install flashify, open it. It will say you haven't got root. Go in into Security / Permissions / Root Permissions and enable it.
Now flash the recovery.img file of TWRP with flashify as a Recovery image.

Thank You sir.I will definitely try this. I will let you know if this worked for me.
Also, can the official developer rom be flashed by the updater app? Or some other methods are required?

Never mind..I have flashed TWRP via fastboot mode.All is well now.Thank you
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

I am currently on miui 9.2.1 and i want to flash recovery and root my device.
So,i don't want to break miui ota updates and saw videos about redwolf recovery on youtube and my question is which rom file of miui should i flash on my phone
I have already miui 9.2.1 zip file which i used for flashing my phone via mi flash tool can i use that or any other zip?
And before flashing that zip should i clean data,dalvik,cache
Or should i directly flash that zip file
Before you flash MIUI, you will first need to install Redwolf Recovery. The version of MIUI can be your current one or the latest one.
Install Redwolf Recovery
Boot to Recovery
To enable MIUI OTA Support, click Advanced->Special Actions
Scroll to the bottom and check off "Include system in OTA survival", "Aggressive stock recovery deactivation", and "Support MIUI Incremental OTA"
Clear Dalvik/Cache, Cache (no need to clear data, unless you want to start fresh)
Install MIUI, and reboot (no need to flash lazyflash zip file as Redwolf does it automatically after any install)
Your device now supports OTA. Note that whenever you install OTA, it may seem like it takes forever or it's frozen. Don't worry, just leave it. (May take up to 10 mins)

You can use the current version of MIUI which you already have, or downloaded an updated version of the Stable or Developer MIUI to flash over.

Okay bro
Thank you so much for your quick replies
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.
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.
