Will it be possible to install LineageOS from day 1? - Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers

The device ships with Android 8.1 (= Treble enabled) and Xiaomi usually lets users unlock the bootloader. Does that mean we can simply flash a generic system image (GSI) and enjoy a fully working tablet from day 1?
EDIT: Summary of findings as of November 25, 2018
After unlocking the device and flashing TWRP a GSI can be installed. However, Universal DM-Verity (and ForceEncrypt) Disable is needed to be able to boot (might have to flash twice and/or reformat data to lose encryption). See Installation guide by GBouerat.
The device works fine and can be used as a daily driver. However, there are a few things not working, buggy or needed to be set up. Specifically you need to adjust the DPI settings in /vendor/build.prop:
Code:
ro.sf.lcd_density=320
ro.build.characteristics=tablet
Other tweaks:
enable lockscreen rotation (if not already working) => in build.prop set:
Code:
lockscreen.rot_override=true
display correct device name => in /system/build.prop set:
Code:
ro.product.manufacturer=Xiaomi
ro.product.model=MI PAD 4
ro.product.brand=Xiaomi
ro.product.name=clover
ro.product.device=clover
smoother rounded edges => use overlay app (post #92)
pass SafetyNet
Not working:
clock resets at boot (TWRP not affected though) until you enable WiFi => use ClockSync if time server is not reachable or set another server (see post #221)
WiFi is not automatically turned on after boot => works for some on AOSP phh v23/v25; works for me only for a short moment when setting up as new device (no backup from cloud!) or once when clearing Dalvik/ART cache in TWRP; might have something to do with signing into Play Services (tbc)
exFAT
"pick up to wake"
sleep/wake on magnetic cover
Should be working now:
notification LED ==> works (for me) on AOSP phh v25 as far as I can tell
"double tap to wake" (DT2W) => see fix in post #191 and following
brightness control => fixed (for me) in AOSP by phh v25; can be enabled on any older ROM by copying /system/overlay/treble-overlay-xiaomi-mipad4.apk from phh v25 (see post #221); alternatively set in build.prop: persist.sys.qcom-brightness 4095
device encryption ==> works by flashing Disable_Dm-Verity-09.02.2018.zip (this ZIP leaves force encryption untouched) (see post #221 for details)
Bluetooth audio => fixed (for me) in AOSP by phh v25
MTP doesn't always work on first try => fixed in AOSP by phh v23 according to change log (I have not tested it yet)

Yes but not from day 1 since u need time to get the permissions

Awesome! I already got the permissions... they are not device-dependent AFAIK.

I'm going to expose my ignorance here, but what are the permissions you're referring to here?
Thanks!

But you'll have to wait for the 72hrs. They are device-dependent. I got my Mix 2 a few weeks ago, and even though I already had permissions to UNLOCK in general, I had to wait for another 72hrs just like with my Mi5X before.
It's stupid but you have to wait 72hrs for every new device you want to unlock. But if you relock it after unlocking and then want to unlock it again, you don't have to wait.

Was 72hrs for me. But both are so stupid and useless smh

As long as I don't have to wait months and months for a device-specific custom ROM, I can live with the 72 hrs. If anyone successfully installed a GSI on this device, please let us know!

You wont have to wait if you have a MIUI alpha tester account

does anyone here has real development knowledge and not just "i install a GSI and everything will be fine"?
Im actually thinking of buying this device so to let you know without a kernel source, which xiaomi didnt released for now, its VERY HARD to compile a GSI without correct boot.img and i dont mean the stock boot.img rom as (most) vendors modify their ramdisk to only boot their OS.
Also flashing a GSI doesnt mean to give a fully working system from day 1 there could be plenty of bugs even, it just makes the general system ready to work.
Nontheless this could be solved with getting the sources and a bit of device bringup here and there, i even personally prefer the old school way of building and not the GSI way (as it gives you full control of what youre actually building with every parameter tweakable) but thats just a personal thought from me as dev.

As you may have read in the original post, this is just about the installation. Nobody said that everything will be working fine from the beginning on.

Also I decided to buy this tab so in 2-5 days when it arrives + 72 hours I can try to get twrp on this little thing.

Keep us posted

Unluckily the seller doesnt ships from europe as he stated yesterday and I dont wanna pay 250€ plus custom duties plus shipping on this device. I need to wait until the price gets lower or it's available in EU somewhere. Or does anyone knows a good cheap seller who ships to germany?

No sry they cheapest thing i could find was 200€+15€ shipping for the 3+32 version. We'll probably have to wait until it officialy comes to Europe. (If it does at all.)

You can buy it from china without duties (e.g. GearBest)

No Germany (where he's coming from) and Austria (my country) charge fees when importing from a country outsite of the EU (And maybe other countries idk). This comes in at between 20-40€ and depends on the price of the product. And prices on gearbest are even higher than the other stores due to big demant in china I guess.

Cyanogenmod CM12.1 for unlocked bootloader

hey guys,
just wanted to tell you that at the miui forums there is already a cyanogenmod 12.1 ported for the redmi 3. its a zip to load via TWRP and only for unlocked bootloader.
its the 4th version and it's pretty much stable. been using the rom as a daily driver for 5 days now and everything worked so far. i havent tested every function but camera, gps, wifi, 4g data, bluetooth, etc works super fine. only thing is that battery life is superior on original miui rom. anyone interested in getting rid of miui check out the link.
http://en.miui.com/thread-249717-1-1.html
p.s. wipe phone first before installing CM.
p.p.s. don't forget 64bit gapps if you need it!

Great news!
How bad is the batterylife and is the pictures taken with the camera as good as with miui?
I dirty flashed this 4th version over the 3rd one. No need to flash gapps if you dirty flash from previous version.
There are 5 chinese apps, I froze them with titanium.
No issues so far. Been using the 3rd version about a week now.
So how is the battery life?
battery life with the 4th version is pretty much on par with miui now.
this cm comes with root (toggle in developer options) so i just uninstalled the 6 Chinese apps with system app remover.
What about camera quality, focus speed and HDR? Are those on par with MIUI?
Chinese user here! I flashed this ported CM 12.1 this morning. I also found the annoying existence of Baidu and 360 apps preinstalled in this rom. Because im not sure how xposed works with this ported CM 12.1, so i flashed back to MIUI 6.3.25 for there's a relatively stable xposed support
Using it for over 2 days now and I am impressed.
Its very stable and fully operational.
Apart from chineese apps pre-installed, theres not even one fault with it.
Battery and camera just fine, as on original MIUI.
Beauty and simplicity of CM was just what I needed for my Redmi3.
Cheers.
Does someone know if this will work on redmi 3 PRO?

Most likely, it wont. Even though phones have exactly same specs, you might find that there could be some differences in things like sensors, camera etc.
So yeah, it might boot, but you most likely will be annoyed by multiple things not working (including fingerprint sensor)
there are a few versions on the miui chinese forums (which I can read and translate), anyway what I've read is that 1 of the CM12.1 ROMs come with trojan horse (but scanned via a chinese security app 360 antivirus) - http://www.miui.com/thread-3980415-1-1.html (the user said she was on CM12.1 4th version)
Please do try a scan with your antivirus (on Android, I use Sophos) of choice just to be safe. I would do it but I'm still waiting for my bootloader to be unlocked.
What I've heard on the forum linked above is that development from cofface is trustworthy, hence I searched and indeed there is a CM12.1 ROM that was just uploaded. (http://www.miui.com/thread-3986022-1-1.html) It does not appear to come with any Chinese apps like the 4th version listed above. Maybe it's worth a try? (I'm not sure)
All CM12.1 versions:
http://www.miui.com/thread-3985299-1-1.html ROM dated 3/30, modded by Liberation, original by Flour_Mo (comes with Chinese apps)
http://www.miui.com/thread-3986022-6-1.html by Cofface (doesn't seem to have any bloatware)
http://www.miui.com/thread-3968326-1-1.html 4th version by Flour_Mo
CM 13 is also in the works but will take some time to become stable..
**apparently there is a buggy LED notification in all CM 12.1 builds

Hey, thanks for keeping us posted. I would like to install this cofface rom, but I cant get through chinese websites. Could you please give me a link, or upload it for me?
Much obliged.
can someone please share a link but not to chiniese site where to download i have to sign in with my phone number ?
How does performance looks compared to MIUI ? Do phone/contact/camera/messege apps launch faster or slower compared to MIUI ? How much free RAM is available after reboot ?

Thank you very much for clearing this up! I knew that there was something dodgy going on with those Roms!!! All the crap they are saying about "how we should use those apps and support devs" did sound like pile of sh*t to me. Someone from here really should post some screenshots of AV scans there and expose those bastards. It's really annoying that someone is even trying to do that...

When I was trying cm builds, the performance was actually really good. But somehow I started to like miui about free RAM, there was around 1.2 gigs available, I think. That decreases to 1 gig after you install gapps.

Go to miui forums and people usually re-post Roms to some other *drive website like gdrive again, I do not recommend using any of those scammy Roms until it is clarified that Roms are actually clean and legit

i think some of the developers there are legit (like the rooted ROM on this forum by greatslon and TWRP recovery by cofface http://www.miui.com/thread-3917207-1-1.html), not to worry, I believe it might even be false positives, since the AV scan is from a Chinese AV app (360 security) so... there is a chance its reporting false positives. Just have to see the response from those who have already flashed the ROMs. As for links to download, alright, will try to re-upload those ROMs or post the link to download here. Its actually pretty safe to register your phone number because its linked to the MIUI servers (the Chinese like to use phone numbers as a way to access many features, such as Airport WIFI etc)
To those wondering how to see the download links - its like the english version of the MIUI forums. you will have to set up a forum account, then comment once to gain "experience" and then the download link is revealed.
Hello guys, unfortunately I can't move my apps to the SD card. I have a UHS class 10 64Gb SD Card.
It says that I don't have enough space, while I have a lot, like 57Gb free.
Is anyone having the same problem, if not, how can I solve it anyway?

Sorry, I probably should have explained more what I meant.
cofface is a legit dev, who seems to be doing a great job for out little community.
But other devs, who do stuff like pre-installing some weird apps... I honestly cannot think of any excuses of why they are doing that, apart from spying/collecting your address books/etc.
So yeah, the only rom to try is cofface's at this moment. But then again, I can't seem to find any download link in that Chinese thread.
Anywho, I'm looking forward seeing cm13 on our phones, which is pretty exciting. And hopefully Android N in a near future ^^

I've posted the ROM in the xda forum and uploaded the ROM on google drive and MEGA. here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-3/development/rom-cm12-1-redmi-3-t3348916
the forum functions like the english miui forums where you have to create an account (your english miui account will do fine) and comment before you can see the download link! and the pre-installed apps are the chinese alternatives to the google apps that they don't have access to. If I'm not wrong.

Install custom ROM on Honor Note 10...

Hi guys,
Trying to get this device to get a little support here are my experiences that I would like to share so far.
I have the Honor Note 10 8/128. It's unlocked. It has TWRP and it is rooted.
Now I would like to install something else than EMUI, maybe even Pie.
So here is what I was able to find out :
- it is possible to install the OpenKirin Project : Resurrection Remix and OmniRom and boot them ; but the fingerprint scanner doesn't work to wake device in Resurrection Remix (could not test in Omni ROM : I'll do that later tonight) ;
- it is possible to boot from at least one custom ROM made for "berkeley" (Honor View 10). And there, everything works... But of course, really few customization. Also, I was able to find out that, as soon as I install an AOSP based ROM, rebooting into TWRP fails : TWRP remains stuck at "splash" screen...
So I think it's really close to being able to run a s custom AOSP based ROM on the Honor Note 10, but that would require someone with a little more dev skills than I have to look into that
Anyone with such skills around here ? It would be really great to be able to have the Honor Note 10 running Resurrection Remix (Oreo) or Havoc (Pie)...
Regards.

Sorry but you do not just flash ROMs for other phones that can go wrong
Hi guys,
Well, you're obviously not interested in this...
You're happy with EMUI, so be it...
Me, I don't really like it
I really would like AOSP based which I am accustomed to.
And despite what is written here, I would like to stress that :
- when Treble was announced by Google, Huawei/Honor praised themselves to offer fully compliant devices with Treble ;
- Honor View 10 and Honor Note 10 share the same hardware, excet for display... and thus I have been able to boot PixelExperience for berleley (Honor View 10) into Note 10...
But of course, if you'd ratehr stick to EMUI and would like me to stop sharing my thoughts here, I will do.
Regards.
I haven't unlock my phone yet, but flashing GSI via fastboot seems to be the safest way.

Hi,
Yes, we share the same experience.
But you will notice that this channel is dead : no developer support for this device and custom ROM allergic people participating here
So basically : no interest from manufacturer ; no interest from developer ; no interest from users...
I switched to Xiaomi mi Max 3 : no real custom ROM there, but at least some interest from community and manufacturer who keeps updating the ROM.
Regards.

Have you tried the BLISS rom from the same forum? With the holiday time off coming up I'm going to buy my unlock code and give roms a chance.

can you please make a thread with step by step guide, how to install Pixel Experience ROM in Honor Note 10.
Thanks for all the info guys. I an looking to get this phone and install any of the ROMs from openkirin.
Is it a bad decision ? If I install the ROMs many for view 10, will I be able to update them OTA ?
Please comment/advise.
Thanks in Advance.

Have we devised a work around for "Stuck at TWRP Splash"? Flashed Bliss from view 10 and wanted to look at Pixel Exp. but can not re-enter TWRP.
And to those of you running Pixel Exp. without issue, have you tried going back into TWRP?

Hi,
Can't say as I don't run the device anymore...
No interest from manufacturer.
No interest from developers.
No interest in development from the community here.
No interest for buyers.
My Honor Note 10 8/128 in Black is on an ad since about 40 days, and not a single reply even though I think I have positioned it fairly as a price
This is probably the best phone I've had, but the worst buy I've made for the aforementioned reasons...
Blame Honor. This was my first attempt. And will be the last. And I will of course spread the news all around me to as much people as I can.
It's funny : when I look around, my students who all had Honor or Huawei (apart from iPhones of course and of Samsung also) now more and more have OnePlus and Xiaomi devices...
No more Honor ; no more Huawei.
And they're absolutely not geeks by any means...
As a wild guess I'd say that they rely on geek friends who tell them not to buy Honor anymore.
And so I'll join that anti-Honor/Huawei league unless they change their policies about unlocking the bootloader.
And I am saying this because Huawei presented themselves as the best student in class for Treble support when it was announced.
Where are we now ?
Another promise not kept...
No support for Treble, no updates after 6 months device is released, no source code given, no unlocking of bootloader...
They can just use their device as suppositories.
Hope that will cure them from that closed source disease that is spreading more and more...
Regards.

Hi,
Sell those fairy tales to somebody else please...
5-6 updates in 3 months ? Probably. i've witnessed 2 updates.
And one of those forbids to change the default launcher... Is that an update or a severe regression ?
You can unlock the bootloader ?
Well, I've tried to boot the device in fastboot mode and to type "fastboot oem-unlock"... Guess what ? It did nothing...
To unlock this device, I had to go to an obscure website from probably a hacker/retailer that does it "grey", to pay 25 dollars and to wait for an unlock code...
All other phones I've had so far (Motorola, Sony, OnePlus, Xiaomi)... at worst you had to ask for an unlock code on the manufacturer's website and got it free !
Treble support ?
Come on... Did you even tried to install GSI to this device and had it working properly with no severe battery drain ?
Well, as you know from my other posts : I've tried it all... Even to flash Berkeley (Honor View 10) custom Rom's.
And when I was luck, the device booted...
But even then a lot of things weren't working properly : BT, display brightness...
And look at the facts :
- how much devs working on this device ? 0
- how many custom ROMs fro this device ? 0
- how many TWRP for this device ? 1 (unofficial)
- how many custom kernels for this device ? 0
- hon many posts about development for this device in the past week ? 2
So all in all how's support for this device from manufacturer or community ?
- community : 0
- manufacturer : -1 (for regressive releases of EMUI !).
Yopu can answer... You're the only one active on this channel... Truth is : no one wants this device anymore.
It made high promises and did not deliver...
Regards.

My Answer:
You can see that you have no idea about the whole thing.
You have to buy a Unlock Code!I paid $ 22 and it was worth it!
HN10 is support Treble,but you have to wait for a Rom for this Device.
I buy with firmware 108,next update 120 next 123 next 125,next 132 next 132,next 151 and the latest 158!
If you have no idea, you should rather leave it!

Hi,i'm sasi2006166 and i want to join your "team", yes i know how to build roms in fact u can see many of my threads in j7 2016 exynos7870 section, thanks
I got it to work but not internet . I went back to 8.1. However even after I formatted and swiped everything my phone only says have 8 gigs of storage with only 2.5 available . This only happened after flashing this rom a few times . Any idea how to fix this so phone recognizes 16 gig ? Oh and btw your rom is cool and when I have more experience may put it back on . Thank you for all your great work on J7 , I love this phone !
@Tigerevo Hello, can you give us detail about how you restored to the stock ROM 8.1? Did you use TWRP backup or do you use ODIN to flash your phone?
---------- Post added at 03:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 AM ----------
@minz1 I think I have I faint idea of what is causing the camera to misbehave, as I noted in another post about the quirks of the Oreo ROM in the J7 Perx, if you uninstall the stock Messages app or the Contacts app, it automatically ruin your camera, both front and rear making it unable to work while summoning any app that require them, it doesn't make the app crash or anything, it just show a black viewfinder unable to make it take a shot or record video, not even the flash. As for the LTE or by default 3G Internet, it's unfortunate that there are no open source for the Snapdragon 625 modem or binary blobs going around to interface with it. But all in all very smooth and nice running ROM for an initial Android 9.0 port to the J7 Perx
I formatted and swiped system . I then used odin.
---------- Post added at 06:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 PM ----------
Oh and somehow someway my phone recognized the full 16 gigs today

Flashed to j727r4 and working with same bugs as mentioned. Had to flash the j7popltespr lineage 14.1 prior to flashing lineage build 16 in order for system to boot. Not sure why. Also magisk 20.0 prevents system from booting as well. Magisk 18.1 on the other hand is working. Crossing fingers for a working lineage 17.0 ?

Same problem here, grayed out options, these posts are within a few days of each other but surely this isn't something new... then again, if it is (something new), should it be taken to mean that there are indeed 'new' issues/features? Boy, now we're cooking with gasoline!
This is a solid rom, but my 'good phone' decided it needed to be in the bath (I'd already told it to be BY the bath, awaiting my requests) so now I'm all like: mllmlmm, you know? And don't even get me STARTED on spending money. Psht!

As the developer stated in her post, this ROM will not get further updates or end up as a final release because the burden to fix those bugs are unsurmontable for a single person. Let's behave as civilized people and not start talking nonsense to just pan handle some free meal.

Miuimi 12 sucks....

Hi guys,
this is my first experience report about my new Poco X3 NFC with Miumi 12 after 14 days in use....
To explain: 2 years ago i got my first xiaomi redmi note 6 pro global. This machine is a fine thing, but i never liked the miui surface. So i decided to unlock and root the phone and use a custom rom. This was the very best decision for me.
So far, so good... At least i bougth my new Poco X3 NFC and i got 14 days ago. I heard a lot of "good" things about the new Miui 12, so that was one reason for me to catch this deal....
After nearby 14 days using this phone with this original surface Miui 12 i can say: it sucks, nothing else but the original apps are running smooth. It is nearly impossible to run an alternative launcher, really nothing runs flawless on this terrible, awful surface! The simplest things like "notification badges" etc. are not present, they still are not in function...
Ok, Miui "spend" a launcher: Poco Launcher. Hmm, nearby, but (for me) lightyears away from any kind of personalization. Change icons? Runs partially... Want to unlink the fu..... ring- and notification sounds? Misrepresented!!! This (for me) confusing settings menu? There is no better thing than a clean android system or custom rom!
The next annoying crap is the annoying advertising - i spend a "little" time to "destroy" this really sucking "feature".....
Oh, before i forgot: i tried to run the launchair launcher, ruthless launcher, nova launcher, microsoft launcher and at least hyperion launcher. With all this launchers it is on my phone totally impossible to run all features - on every other phone with custom rom or original they run like hell!
The one and only way to operate this phone "fine and smoothly" is this: leave it in its original condition! But who wants this? Personalization? Inadequate....
But yes, there are two things they are fine: the energy options and the camera app. But thats it for me.
So, this is my experience after 14 days and the next thing i will do is unlock the bootloader, install a recovery systen (maybe twrp or orange fox) and root the phone with magisk. With this solution i hope to improve some things - i 'll keep testing this
Best wishes and greets
I'm using Nova Launcher on all devices since a couple of years. Mui has the habit of preventing background tasks and autostart(never saw this before) for all apps except Xiaomi and Google ones and probably a few other. Autostart, notifications and widgets i only need for a handful of apps(including the launcher), and none of these worked out of the box.
But all relevant options are bundled in the app's context menu, no scrolling thru huge lists including all the system apps. Simply allow autostart, disable powersaving and give the app more or less all access rights. Running pretty well now. It's only the most bloated phone i ever had, but also the most powerful, so thats not an issue at present.
Hi lecorbusier,
thanks for your answer.
With your sentence >It's only the most bloated phone i ever had, but also the most powerful< your totally right
Yesterday i unlocked my X3, flashed TWRP - and wow: System destroyed....
Turned to fastboot, flashed OrangeFox, puh, it 's not broken....
Flashed Magisk also and today i will see what happen....
​
Lmao, who told you that MIUI is a good thing. It's ok, but compared to custom ROM it sucks.
If you want to try custom ROM, ArrowOS is the best optimized custom ROM + Void custom kernel If you want maximum fluidity/smoothness as it's optimized for minimum latency and jank. Battery life is still good in my usage, maybe 2 hours less maximum, but it's worth it. With stock kernel, SOT is a bit better.
ArrowOS gets improvements every day on ROM side with fixes & improvements + occasionally improvements & fixes to the device side.
I tried 5 other custom ROMs (crDroid, Resurrection Remix, LineageOS 17.1, CorvusOS, NitrogenOS) and that's my experience.
Everything works except fast charging information with Xiaomi charger (all custom ROMs have this issue) & Miracast (which I'm not sure if it works or not since I never used it).
So all in all, just flash custom ROM in this one too!
Devil's advocate here ( ), Xiaomi.eu with updated firmware and Stormbreaker kernel feels smooth as butter here -- but it takes some intensive tweaking.
Hi there, good morning from Germany
A short "update"....
After "repairing" (see 3 posts above) I've done the following:
Installed Lsposed (Magisk), installed CustoMIUIzer and started "playing" with the mass of settings in it....
What should I say: I'm pretty impressed.
Almost everything is going as hoped and does what it should! Till now I got no numbers on my notification badges, but this is a part I can live with.
That doesn't mean that i have changed my opinion about the MIUI-Surface, especially the terribly nested settings.... But with a bit of work you can establish a relatively well-running system that you can personalize according to your wishes.
So for the moment I'm pretty happy, but I'm still testing...
Ah, before i forget to mention: magisk and safetynet was another problem. I have found a module that works (for me), look here
So, thats it for today, many greetings and happy easter
Hello everyone,
here 's another short update for miui....
The good news first: it runs, Ruthless Launcher is working, original camera app is fine, other things: see my post above...
That 's it!
Unlock by (or with) bluetooth??? Fail! It seems that Xiaomi only supports its own devices - what a crap.... I clearly miss this function.
I stick to my opinion: miui sucks....
The only point that keeps me from installing a custom rom is the camera app (at least for the moment)...
My conclusion: to use all possibilities of this device you "must" use a custom rom, otherwise you have to live with the restrictions

My main reason to keep Xiaomi.eu, too. When LOS becomes official, I'll brace myself for intensive testing of camera alternatives...
for me, personally, i dont like miui as well. luckily we have a bunch of custom roms out there and even i found a better rom for my daily use, i still try flashing some rom to experience some other features. tho, at the end of the day, i end up using my rom that i am using daily. if you want the rom with alot of customization, have a good BB, and have miui camera, i suggest to use Ancient OS
Hi all together
@dahrel22: thanks for your tip, it seems like this is what i was looking for...
I think I'll test it out, I can't do more than break it
Have a nice Sunday, many greetings from here...

yes bro you better try it. im currently using the old build which is the miui verdor based. the new build comes with oss vendor but i think im not ready to flash it. i having trouble keeping my phone decrypted from oss vendor based roms. so i'll still be using the old build.
After the updates my Poco x3 NFC restarts in stand-by mode or when I'm using whatsapp, suddenly the screen goes to black..and then back to the homescreen... :/
Does anybody tried a custom rom? I would like to give a try.
Hello to everybody,
here 's my newest experience with "Miui-machine"...
I tried the tip from dahrel22 (see 4 posts above) und flashed Ancient OS 5.3 - I did everything according to the description, but in the end I had an encrypted partition on my phone....
Yesterday I had the great idea to cleam my device up und flash it again...
What can i say: it was a horrible trip
Like before I 've done everything as described - but it ends with a lot of issues like "no root" and "no system" directory, unable to mount system partion and so on and so on... This action cost me a lot of annoyance
(I tried this with two custom roms: Ancient OS 5.4 and Evolution X).
I was then able to revive the device using fastboot and the mi flashtool.
The Mi-Flashtool also ended with an error, but the system works - for whatever reason???
So at the moment I'm "driving" this damn Miui again and I'm really pissed off!
Maybe someone from you has a "smooth" idea to solve my problem??
Many greetings and thanks

im feel so sorry when i read your experience. maybe some confusion because 2 builds at the same version have different vendor based. both of them are comes with 5.3 but one comes with miui, one comes with oss. as i say i really have a hard time to keep my phone decrypted on oss when im using orange fox (now im in twrp but still no planning of flashing oss) if you flashed the old build, i mean the miui vendor based build, i think the outcome will be better.
what version of miui are you into right now?
edit: you know i feel bad for you as you need to do this "mi-flashtool" kind of stuff. next time, if you make mistake flashing something, i suggest just to flash miui rom again (miui eu will do) using recovery (i suggest twrp). i did that before many times and it never fails me.

[Curtana] Does flashing a custom ROM compel disabling force encryption?

First of all, I'm really sorry if this thread would turn out to be a dumb enquiry. I am new to intrinsically customising my phone and only have been using this device (Redmi Note 9S EEA Curtana, MIUI Global V11.0.4.0. QJWEUXM 4/64 GB) for 10 days. I've successfully installed root and TWRP on my phone after having thoroughly researched relevant information. The only thing is all my efforts regarding the removal of force encryption have so far failed. I'm inclined to install a custom ROM, e. g. LineageOs or Evolution X.
1. Is it a necessity to have encryption permanently disabled so that the flashing process proves viable? Currently, I'm only aware of a method which has its effect limited to the the period the phone is in recovery. It involves formatting data and then installing Magisk and thus I need to go through the set-up again. At the end of the operation, encryption is enabled again. I have no clue why. I've tested loads of no verity opt files, none of them worked in a proper way either.
2.Will installing a custom ROM eliminate root acces (since it performs a reinstallation targeting the entire system, let alone the patched boot image)?
3. In case something goes wrong, what's the correct procedure to return to the factory ROM? Is re-locking the bootloader a prerequisite? (See this guide https://c.mi.com/uk/miuidownload/detail?guide=2, for example. Notice how each of the stable MIUI releases there are marked with ★ next to them, meaning they're locked. I didn't quite grasp the message they were trying to convey with that explanation though.)
I'm conscious that's a lot to ask in a single thread, however, unlike myself, the majority of users here are supposedly tech enthusiast and probably have encountered similar difficulties on several occasions.
I hope that I've provided enough information and the thread has been named reasonably.
(Priority: detailed answers within a month would be great.)
Cheers,
Hsjaai
Just format data: twrp->wipe->format data write yes->reboot twrp and flash rom.
If you got error(red lignes reboot twrp and format again).
or
delete all your lockscreen security before flashing but to install a new rom you must format the data before.
Thanks for your quick response, honestly I didn't expect anyone to be this early to react.
As I've already mentioned, in TWRP there's a workaround for temporarily disabling encryption using the first method, the latter one doesn't seem to function as intended - that may be the case on newer devices, according to an article I've come across.
One last request. Could you please (briefly) answer my two other questions as well? How do I reinstall MIUI if something breaks down? Is the flashing apparatus provided by Xiaomi reliable?
I'll keep you updated on my progress,
Hsjaai

Use this tool who is reliable(if you follow the instructions). In all cases unroot before and reboot (if necessary).

Thank you so much once again for the help. What should I do if the worst-case scenario arised -essential parts of the file system got corrupted so that the phone wouldn't be capable of booting into system? Uninstall magisk via zip and then make use of the fastboot tool?

What did you mean by that exactly?
Besides, sorry for bothering you, it's just that I'm genuinely curious and don't want to mess up the process.

With Magisk app
I'm still unsure about something. Will the custom ROM be installed without hassle if I unroot Magisk at the beginning (meanwhile leaving the custom recovery intact, of course)? No guide seems to deem having root installed as a prerequisite. If you answer that, I'm really embarking on the flashing process.

Installing a custom rom (aosp or Miui) requires a data format (erases all data and creates a new partitions if necessary) which will remove root anyway, but sometimes root + twrp creates problems (can't mout the partitions) it is therefore to avoid this that I recommend you to unroot before.
In all cases (Aosp or custom Miui) magisk is installed last.
Which ROM do you want to install?
I'd like to install LineageOS first and see how compatible it is.

What device is Miatoll ?
Hello guys ! For some days or weeks, I see a new codename : Miatoll. I looked and search but I don't find what device is it. Can you helo me ? I wonder if I can flash my phone with a Miatoll Rom
forum.xda-developers.com
Miatoll ROMs are supposed to be compatible with Curtana if I haven't got something wrong... What's the deal with that?
I may consider flashing CherishOS instead, seems neat and the monthly updates appeal to me.

Indeed it is the same.
Others great roms
https://sourceforge.net/projects/blissroms/files/R/miatoll/***
https://downloads.msmxtended.org/?dir=miatoll***
Don't flash magisk right away, check if the playstore is certified.
If not delele your google account and root with the Magisk app.
Of course, if you absolutely want to root your device for other reasons, ignore that.
***certified on redmi note 7
The installation of these should only differ (on a particular device) in the ROM that's being flashed az a zip, right?
For instance, see this guide. Could that be deemed to be applicable to any custom ROM?

Install the right TWRP
Be sure you have the right firmware.
If not flash it.
1)Twrp wipe format data write yes reboot twrp(if error reboot twrp and format again).
2)flash rom
3)reboot system
v11.0.4.0. QJWEUXM is a turkish rom(android 10)
V12.0.2.0.RJWMIXM is a global rom(android 11)Firmware base for AOSP
It is better to use Miflash and install TWrp after.(dont relock the bootloader).
Are you sure v11.0.4.0. QJWEUXM is the Turkish version? I thought it was EEA (the one tweaked for European countries). Installing the Global version seems alright, but why does the MIUI version has such a great effect on the outcome of the flashing?
Is that because both Cherish OS and the Global version are AOSP-based?
