I have snapdragon device( kenzo).. officially unlocked bootloader and installed cofface twrp.. currently on cm13.. want to revert back to global stable miui 8 , which is latest release... how to do that?? plz help..
1) flash akla twrp from ur present twrp
2) flash miui 8 global stable rom (1.19 gb)
3) reboot to fastboot mode
4) connect ur phone to pc and unlock the bootloader from mi unlock
5) reboot
Congrats, now you're in miui 8
There is no need to flash Alka twrp, cofface will be sufficient.
Also, no need to unlock the bootloader again if its already unlocked.
Just flash the correct version from here http://en.miui.com/a-234.html through cofface twrp.
Also, dont forget to nand back up your current ROM.
Flashing the mi recovery rom through alka twrp relocks the bootloader, and that's why the device can't boot into miui after flashing.
Unlocking the bootloader solves this problem.
Both the methods are legit.
Up to you which one you'll choose.
I am not sure if simply unlocking the bootloader again solves the problem. I tried that and Miui would still enter the boot loop even after unlocking.
Hi! I have officially unlocked my bootloader.
Can I just follow this steps(no more no less) to go back to Stock MIUI?

i'm afraid because I read that it may cause a bootloop to Mi logo only
Hi guys, I'm not sure if my post is a repeat or not but boy i wasted a whole Sunday trying to flash orangefox recovery.
I used an early version of it because i didn't know there was a newer one, wasted all day unable to boot to the recovery and having to flash full rom with miflash LOL. So to save your time here's what i did. I ASSUME YOUR BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED
1. This is the latest orangefox recovery Version: R10.0_7: https://c.mi.com/thread-2482912-1-0.html
EDIT, NEW VERSION: https://files.orangefox.tech/OrangeFox-Stable/raphael/OrangeFox-R10.0_8-Stable-raphael.zip
2. Download the latest full Recovery ROM of Mi 9T pro global V10.3.2.0.PFKMIXM from here: http://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.3.2.0.PFKMIXM/miui_RAPHAELGlobal_V10.3.2.0.PFKMIXM_55396ac730_9.0.zip
3. UNZIP the orangefox recovery file, you'll see an image file called RECOVERY.
4. Now fastboot flash that recovery RECOVERY NAME OR LOCATION. After flash succeeds, press and hold volume up + power button until you feel the vibration and then if done properly your phone will boot to orangefox recovery.
4. From there now, copy paste the full orange fox recovery zip file to your phone's internal storage, locate it and then swipe to install the recovery again so as to make the recovery permanent.
5. IMPORTANT, after you swipe it will reboot itself to recovery again in 5 secs, YOU HAVE TO WIPE DATA otherwise your phone won't boot up, so go to MENU-MANAGE PARTITION-DATA-OK-TYPE YES. Your data is erased so now you'll have to setup phone again.
6. After completing setup, reboot again back to orangefox recovery by pressing volume up and power button. From there go to MENU, click on settings icon on top right, locate and select MIUI OTA, in there select all check boxes, I selected all checkboxes but not sure if it's a must but since nothing wrong happened to me you can follow me [emoji1787]. In there you will see a message where it tells you to FLASH A FULL MIUI ROM!, So transfer the Recovery ROM you downloaded to your phone and do the “Swipe to install” action. Wait for the OrangeFox to finish its job flashing the ROM. It may take a while because Orangefox also takes “OTA_BAK” backup process. The backup file is located at /sdcard/Fox/OTA/ directory. Do not delete that directory and its files, otherwise the OTA update will fail.
7. After flashing is done, reboot and if successful, good news your phone is ready for OTAs.
NOTE: What I'm not sure is if it will survive Android 10, because Mi 9T Pro Global is still at Android 9.

I'm not sure what is the advantage to flash orangefox this way and not through twrp. Actually, what is advantage to orange over twrp?

I always just flash the orange fox zip through twrp, one advantage I had with orange fox on my Poco f1 was some ROMs wouldn't flash through TWRP but they would flash successfully through orange fox so on my mi 9t pro as soon as I unlock bootloader in a few days I'm going to use orange fox on it.
i followed the procedure, after flash the twrp i directly boot into twrp and its a success, then i reboot to system.. after that i tried once again to reboot back to twrp but it ended up to mi - recovery 3.0 i'm currently on Global Mi 9T ROM

After you flash TWRP, reboot to TWRP by holding power and volume up until you feel vibration. Then wipe data, Now save the Disable_Dm-Verity file (LINK: https://bit.ly/2Xo1XJ3) on your phone and flash the same. This will make your TWRP permanent.
But wait, by TWRP do you mean Orangefox?

Also don't forget to re flash orangefox zip file after you're in it.

Correct i mean OrangeFox ..
So basically there is no other way to make the OF permanent other than wiping my data ??

I'm coming from 9T Pro global ROM 10.3.2. Not sure why your chinese ROM is bringing error. Try flashing DM_VERITY file https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/flashing-orangefox-recovery-mi-9t-pro-t3980579

You don't wipe system, only wipe data and cache.

After flashing miui eu rom Orange fox recovery gone and TWRP install automatically. Whats the problem?
Xiaomi.eu ROMs have built in TWRPs that's why.

You can do it. Just bare in mind if you flash the fastboot ROM with miflash tool any time UNCHECK the CLEAN ALL AND LOCK box else you'll brick.

i dont think orangefox or pitchblack recoverys work properly in Mi9t pro ive softbricked my phone a few times using these recoveries and the only one which works well is Twrp 3.3.1.5 by maurino

Softbricked for what reason?
Sent from my Redmi K20 Pro using Tapatalk
I mean when I was on miui global 10.3 I flashed oh orange fox recovery and soft bricked the device because I have mi9t pro and maurinfo twrp works the best on this device. If I had k20 pro then I could use the other recovery's without issue but on mi9 they don't work well.

I have flashed in my 9T Pro and then flashed indian ROM that's why my phone reads K20 Pro, older versions of Orangefox had a problem which soft bricked but version 7 works well

I think I'll stock with maurinfo version for now although I liked pitch black because it could detect the file system and apply the decryption automatically.

I'm staying with Orangefox and will see how it survives MIUI 11 OTA update

I bought a Mi 10 CN phone version, but it came with bootloader unlocked and global ROM installled. (Vendor used their Mi account to unlock it it seems)
As the bootloader is unlocked Google pay wouldn't work. From what I can read on the Xiaomi.eu version ROM, it seems with that ROM one could use Google pay.
My question is can I use adb and fastboot to install Twrp on the phone and then install xiaomi.eu ROM on the phone without having to enter the Mi account when the new ROM boots up? I had seen that after unlocking the bootloader and installing a custom ROM one had to enter their Mi account that was connected to the unlocking process.

You should not have to sign in to Mi account unless you already signed in before. The vendor who unlock your phone already sign out. I also bought a mi 10 china rom which was installed with global rom and unlocked bootloader. The first time I turn on the phone I had option not to sign in to Mi account.
Awesome, so if I flash xiaomi.eu ROM on to the phone I will be able to boot the ROM without having to put in the passcode for the account that ulocked the bootloader?!
Thank you for the help! @tknguyencsu

That what happened to my phone. I bought it from Giztop with unlocked bootloader and global rom installed. I am now on xiaomi.eu ROM. Your vendor should sign out of the xiaomi account.
I appreciate the clarification. That's exactly what I am trying to do and is the same place I bought it from.
Thank you so much

I had recently flashed miui 12 india fastboot rom to get some logs. And for that purpose I had to root. I am assuming that you have unlocked your bootloader. I flashed TWRP then booted to recovery and then flashed magisk then rebooted to system. It worked. So, I can confirm that the guide works.
