2. If you can open your current rom, open developer options by clicking on the build no several times in the about phone menu in settings. and select allow oem unlocking and usb debugging.
3. if not leave it... go on and connect your phone to the PC while in fastboot mode.
BUT, before that: open Command prompt on your PC. (search it on the search box). right click on it and open it in administrator mode.
type in: bcdedit /set testsigning on
hit enter and restart your pc
(this is imp.)
4. open the zip file and extract the contents. open the boot edl mode folder and click the edl.bat file. allow it to run.

Official method is worst. Its not like Motorola who gives unlock code within a min.
Try unofficial above method
Do we still need to flash modified Boot.img for first time flashing TWRP ?

Yes you need to flash a ROM. Whether it is official miui 8 or beta miui 8 or any custom ROM. Cm13 and RR v5.8.0 7.1-N is better.
Now if you need your ROM back with twrp and root access. Just install miui 8 official ROM through twrp and don't try to change the recovery its the safe twrp I provided with. And its important for unofficially unlocked bootloaders like you.
Since it is official miui 8 so it will block your bootloader but to prevent this just install universal boot image patcher after installing this ROM.
You can find it on net and after that reboot and install. Now to get root access download and install SuperSU zip from net via twrp and reboot.

Oh no. This problem still continues.
I think you have to flash global kenzo 7.0 ROM through mi flash program on PC and then proceed to edl and flashing twrp.
I will be posting the instructions. Today only.
But I have unlocked it without this method
+1 , I get waiting for device also - because cannot see adb devices Drivers are installed
and when i try flashing a developer rom through miphone tool , im always getting errors

Flashed the F2FS TWRP recovery using your guide. Thanks a lot bro.. Gonna flash RR 7.1 with GAPPS pico.
This might help you after realizing that you want to install custom ROM again after upgrading to android 11 MIUI but you cannot install android 10 or 11 based ROM and stuck with either boot loop or android rescue party.
WARNING: This might wipe every writable partition. Charge your phone at least 20% or more to prevent from destroying these partitions.
Instructions:
1. Download firmware from here
2. Download full ROM (either recovery or fastboot) from here
3. Save the firmware zip file it in either internal storage or sdcard. Reboot to TWRP afterwards
4. Tap install and find the zip file in your storage and install. Wait for a couple of seconds to get done.
To install full ROM
Recovery
1. After installing firmware from recovery mode, don't reboot. If you reboot the system it will fail to boot. Boot to fastboot if you fail this step and flash a recovery image. Proceed with next step.
2. Install full ROM flashable zip from sdcard or internal storage.
3. Format /data. Reboot.
Using fastboot
1. Boot from fastboot mode
2. Extract full ROM fastboot zip file.
3. Open miflash and locate the fastboot folder.
4. Choose flash_all. Click start.
5. The phone reboots itself. Boot to recovery mode and wipe data.
All done. The phone is now downgraded from android 11 back to android 10.
Note: I got 2 anti triggered when attempting to downgrade the phone using recovery and fastboot without installing firmware zip file first. RIP me I guess I voided my warranty anyways so doesnt matter as I already applied some insurance for my device.
TL;DR: Installed Recovery will get erased as I mentioned in WARNING. Please don't skip every step.
Edit: since it made confusion, I split steps for recovery and fastboot mode.
Has anyone tried this procedure?
Im on 12.0.6.0(EU). Bootloader locked (wait 3days) so no TWRP. Want downgrade to 12.0.8.0(EU) and flash Pixelexperience ROM.
It will work?
I'm a bit confusing... Links inserted in first 2 points seem to be the same link. So what I've to download exactly?
I'm on 12.0.7.0 Android 10 but I'm curious to try 12.0.6.0 Android 11 stable beta released some days ago...

Its not the same. First one is cca. 80MB of size while full rom is 2.4GB for recovery and 4.4GB for fastboot.
I did this method yesterday and its working. No problems whatsoever.
The only thing i would add is you need both versions of rom - recovery and fastboot. Recovery when you flash for the first time in recovery and fastboot when you flash with Mi flash.
And my advice is, android 11 miui is really bad. Its not finished, it stutters a lot, u can't use third party launchers with gesture navigation (at least in my case, Nova lanucher), performance is bad.
Not worth any time.

did you try to flash firmware file from twrp recovery first? also that error means that a checkpoint failed which you need to disable or remove in configuration settings.

did you tried recovery or fastboot flashing? and did you installed firmware first before installing full rom?

i only tried recovery method and it works fine after days of trying. 12.0.6 android 11 is still buggy and miui needs to fix it a lot. most of apps are not well optimized for this flavor.
Today unlocked bootloader. Flashing 12.0.8.0 (i have 12.0.6.0 A11).
Everything work perfect. No bootloop, bootloader relock and works fine
People are probaly skipping some steps.
1. Download Firmware small size files
2. Download full Firmware, both - fastboot and recovery (put it on SD card, small and recovery)
3. Install Twrp or Orangefox recovery (download it from somewhere)
4. Enter into recovery and install small firmware FIRST, dont reboot, install big firmware (recovery version) SECOND
5. do not reboot
6. format data
7. Now reboot into fastboot
8. Extract fastboot firmware zip into new folder on desktop
9. Start Mi flash, select that folder where u extracted files and tick "clean only" on the bottom of the Mi flash if u want to leave bootloader unlocked and from drop down menu near that pick "flash_all.bat".
Thats how i did it.

i did the same, but looking to partitions of system, product and vendor, i understand that flashing the files via recovery and fastboot they dont write in that partitions.
looks like the partitions are read only. thanks

Info for Galaxy A8 Star:
CPU : SDM660 ( A only, 64bit )Support Project TrebleSupport System as root
※WARNING※
You will have to have OEM unlocked and this will void your warranty!!!
※also, I'm not responsible for the accident about you bricking your device※Step. 1
First of all, you will need to download two custom recoveries (TWRP, OrangeFox)
OrangeFox: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/orange-fox-recovery-galaxy-a8-star-sm-g885f.4301055/
TWRP: https://github.com/sabpprook/android_device_samsung_astarqlte (test3 file does not work for me but you can try)
I want to finish it only using TWRP but the only TWRP that was working does NOT support flashing the system.img files
and also Orange Fox recovery has a bug that while in recovery you can't connect with the computer and push the files to the phone
so it was required to use two bootloader
Step. 2
Odin: https://odindownload.com/
I also recommend downloading the stock ROM for backup
1. after downloading the TWRP from the link (for Odin we will use the .tar file)
put your phone into download mode
Code:
adb reboot download
or just turn off the phone and press the power button, volume up, Bixby button at the same time
and use the volume button to boot into download mode
2. after the phone went to the download mode, go to Odin and at the ap section add the TWRP file then flash it
3. press the volume down, power button to turn off the device, and right after that press the power button, volume up, Bixby button at the same time
4. you will now see the TWRP recovery, press wipe, and format data
5. now we will download some files we needed
makemesar.zip: (at the attachment) or you can download it from https://drive.google.com/u/0/uc?export=download&confirm=P1-1&id=1F_f_tL4sEYFx5fa6AnwR0x1tlYhqarcT ( when you unzip it there is the zip file )Permissiver_5.zip: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=6006931924117940902Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt: https://drive.google.com/file/d/166texWJQhR1RgRoXiRSH_M2Q2mAyS2gC/viewCertification_Patch.zip: (at the attachment)Havoc Rom (you can use any rom you want but this is the one that I've managed to work) http://download.havoc-os.com/?dir=arm64-ab (download arm64 ab with gapps)most rooms with AB partition will be supportedMagisk: https://magiskmanager.com/ (download the apk and make it a zip file) - you could need for the phone to get the boot (makemesar will unroot it so don't worry)6. after downloading all the files that we need, we will push the files to our device using
Code:
adb push 'file dir' sdcard
※ also push TWRP .img file and the OrangeFox .img too!!
7. after pushing all the files we need to our phone, press install from the TWRP recovery and press flash from image
and select the Orange Fox .img as a recovery image, and reboot to bootloader
8. now you will boot to the Orange Fox recovery, (locate to data/media to find the files)
at the Orange Fox recovery wipe System, Dalvlk / ART Cache, Cache, Data
9. after wiping now install the os.img file and reboot to the bootloader (before reboot you will see the warning that OS is not installed), go to the menu and mount system, vendor, and install Dm Verity.zip, Permissiver_5.zip, makemesar.zip then reboot to the bootloader again, (now we will not see the OS is not installed) and now install the Certification Patch.zip
10. reboot to the system and you will see the new os setup process (sometimes you have to install the Certification Patch after setup the os )
10-1. if your device keeps going to download mode, reinstall the magisk and then reboot the phone, then it will work.
(after it boots, gently turns off the phone and install makemesar.zip first and install Dm-Verity to unroot) - some of you will be forced to use magisk but doing some wiping or reflashing the system.img sometimes makes the unrooted state work (or flash the stock system.img (extract from the stockrom) and flash the gsi ROM without wiping )
Screenshots: At Below
Currently, MTP does not work but I think this is the problem with the Havoc os, if you use another rom it could work
face unlock, fingerprint unlock works, the camera works.
if I manage to get other ROMs workingI will update the post
also at the first time I have made mine to boot without magisk but while doing again for this post I'm having trouble without magisk, if I found a way that works always I will add that to the post
[UPDATE#2]
you can download the Pixel 3 gsi rom from
(Thanks for Santa Duck providing this information!!!!)
with this files you can install the android 12 gsi rom in a usable state!!
and also ADB is working with this rom
there is still a bootlooping bug so do it with caution
[Update#1]
Today I have managed to install the Android Beta 3.1 [ is beta software and I don't recommend using it as your daily os]
https://sourceforge.net/projects/nippongsi/files/Pixel%20-%20Pixel4a_SBeta3.1%20-%20TBO42ZZ8IF/Pixel4a_SBeta3.1-AB-12-20210727-nippongsi.img.gz/download
you can download the ROM file from Nippon's Sourceforge
every step is the same and you just have to change the rom as this
there's a bug that developer setting crash the settings app and it is working but it does have some lots of bugs, and screen lock is not working but I'll try to fix it and upload the method
if your device get boot looped, press Bixby + power + vol down to boot into download mode and flash the stock AP file using Odin
[I was supposed to edit the upper one but accidentally created as a reply ]
Just go to UPDATE#2

and also Orange Fox recovery has a bug that while in recovery you can't connect with the computer and push the files to the phone
so it was required to use two bootloader
Step. 2
Odin: https://odindownload.com/
I also recommend downloading the stock ROM for backup
1. after downloading the TWRP from the link (for Odin we will use the .tar file)
put your phone into download mode
Code:
adb reboot download
or just turn off the phone and press the power button, volume up, Bixby button at the same time
and use the volume button to boot into download mode
2. after the phone went to the download mode, go to Odin and at the ap section add the TWRP file then flash it
3. press the volume down, power button to turn off the device, and right after that press the power button, volume up, Bixby button at the same time
4. you will now see the TWRP recovery, press wipe, and format data
5. now we will download some files we needed
makemesar.zip: (at the attachment) or you can download it from https://drive.google.com/u/0/uc?export=download&confirm=P1-1&id=1F_f_tL4sEYFx5fa6AnwR0x1tlYhqarcT ( when you unzip it there is the zip file )Permissiver_5.zip: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=6006931924117940902Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt: https://drive.google.com/file/d/166texWJQhR1RgRoXiRSH_M2Q2mAyS2gC/viewCertification_Patch.zip: (at the attachment)Havoc Rom (you can use any rom you want but this is the one that I've managed to work) http://download.havoc-os.com/?dir=arm64-ab (download arm64 ab with gapps)most rooms with AB partition will be supportedMagisk: https://magiskmanager.com/ (download the apk and make it a zip file) - you could need for the phone to get the boot (makemesar will unroot it so don't worry)6. after downloading all the files that we need, we will push the files to our device using
Code:
adb push 'file dir' sdcard
※ also push TWRP .img file and the OrangeFox .img too!!
7. after pushing all the files we need to our phone, press install from the TWRP recovery and press flash from image
and select the Orange Fox .img as a recovery image, and reboot to bootloader
8. now you will boot to the Orange Fox recovery, (locate to data/media to find the files)
at the Orange Fox recovery wipe System, Dalvlk / ART Cache, Cache, Data
9. after wiping now install the os.img file and reboot to the bootloader (before reboot you will see the warning that OS is not installed), go to the menu and mount system, vendor, and install Dm Verity.zip, Permissiver_5.zip, makemesar.zip then reboot to the bootloader again, (now we will not see the OS is not installed) and now install the Certification Patch.zip
10. reboot to the system and you will see the new os setup process (sometimes you have to install the Certification Patch after setup the os )
10-1. if your device keeps going to download mode, reinstall the magisk and then reboot the phone, then it will work.
(after it boots, gently turns off the phone and install makemesar.zip first and install Dm-Verity to unroot) - some of you will be forced to use magisk but doing some wiping or reflashing the system.img sometimes makes the unrooted state work (or flash the stock system.img (extract from the stockrom) and flash the gsi ROM without wiping )
Screenshots: At Below
Currently, MTP does not work but I think this is the problem with the Havoc os, if you use another rom it could work
face unlock, fingerprint unlock works, the camera works.
if I manage to get other ROMs workingI will update the post
also at the first time I have made mine to boot without magisk but while doing again for this post I'm having trouble without magisk, if I found a way that works always I will add that to the post
[UPDATE#2]
you can download the Pixel 3 gsi rom from
(Thanks for Santa Duck providing this information!!!!)
with this files you can install the android 12 gsi rom in a usable state!!
and also ADB is working with this rom
there is still a bootlooping bug so do it with caution

Hello all,
It's a long time that's i haven't post a thread here but i have a question.I have a Poco with MIUI Global 9.6 Stable (9.6.25.0) for ROM with a Android Version 8.1.0 OPM 171019.011 with root acces, unlocking bootloader and TWRP 3.3.0-0 installed.
I would upgrade my phone to something "newer" (A ROM with Android 12 if possible) and conserv the root access and my apps.
I have read that now ,we should have 3 files to do that (firmware,system and vendor) to make a wipe and install new ROM with TWRP.
So my question:
-Is it possible to upgrade Android 8.1.0 to Android 12 witn a new ROM? (i have read something about kernel in Android12 but haven't understand all)
-Have i missed some steps or just download files,boot TWRP,wipe and install newer ROM+firmware and vendor appropriate is good?
-Which ROM do you recommend?
Thanks for the previous answers.

It's not possible to switch from stock ROM to custom without doing clean install. You will have to root again.
First update to latest Official Stock ROM, then take backup of your files to your PC or to SDCard (if you have one) , flash to latest Official TWRP and check my POCO F1 Ultimate Collection & Guides. You can find everything there. I have awarded recommended ROMs in my collection.
Feel free to ask if you have any question regarding the guides.
Thanks for the answer.I have begin to read your guides.
If i understand good,it's not possible to conserv my root,unlock bootloader and twrp when i upgrade to android 12? Automaticaly i should root again my phone and restore with titanium backup my files,contact,....?

First you need to take backup of your files to PC or External SDCard.
Then you should update to latest version of MIUI via OTA if it's possible or via TWRP (you can use the stock recovery rom to do it via twrp). (You can also use my guides for clean install stock rom)
Then you should unlock your bootloader if it's not already unlocked.
Then flash latest Official TWRP.
Then flash latest firmware (not vendor) just to make sure you are on the latest. (You should be on latest firmware after updating to the latest MIUI version)
Then Wipe everything + format data according to my guides and flash the ROM you want. If you choose A12 Pixel Experience or crDroid keep in mind that these ROMs use their own recovery because these are encrypted by default ROMs and TWRP can't handle the decryption of A12 encrypted ROMs yet. So to make OTA updates and that stuff work correctly devs of these ROMs decide to use their own recovery which can handle the decryption of encrypted roms and as result to make OTA update work fine. Check the installation instructions of these roms in their threads. (Afterwards you can use adb sideload to flash stuff using these recoveries)
After that, flash Magisk since you want root.
Then you can restore titanium backup if you want.
OK i follow your instruction.Thanks
Hello retrial,
I have now updating my phone to MIUI Global 12.0.3 Stable with Android Version 10QKQ1.My phone is not yet rooted and now he is encrypted.The recovery is now Mi-Recovery 3.0
I have unlock again my bootloader.
Now to follow your instruction,i should flash the latest TWRP.
I have take TWRP-3.6.0_9-0-berylium in your guide.
I think i should do Fastboot Method because i'm now in Mi-Recovery?i'm right?
No problem with the encryption?
Thanks.
i have find this video.This is not the good phone but i think that the installation is the same:

Yes use Fastboot Method to flash TWRP. No problem with encryption.
After that follow my clean install custom rom guide to flash the ROM you want. Also please check the instructions in the threads of ROMs you want to flash. A12 crDroid and PE use their own recoveries.
Basically tell me which ROM you want to flash to help you exactly with steps.
Hello retrial,
i have a problem to install TWRP-3.6.0-9-0 on my pocophone.Everything working fine but in step 8 of your guide,i can't find my twrp.img that i have copied in 2 different case to test :
8. Boot into Recovery by typing in cmd: fastboot boot <recovery_filename>.img (The file may not be named identically to what stands in this command, so adjust accordingly and write the full path of it, check the example below).
This command will not flash permantly the recovery, it will just temporary boot into it and afterwards you will flash permantly the twrp.img you copied into your Internal Storage or SDcard in recovery partition.
For example: fastboot boot C:\Users\Retrial\Desktop\twrp-3.5.2_9-0-beryllium.img
Have you an idea to why i cannot find my twrp.img in the boot mode?

Send a screenshot what you type in cmd and where you have the twrp.img
Or you mean you can't find it in your device while you are booted on TWRP?

I have all the steps on my guide. Please read it carefully. It boots back to mi recovery because you haven't flash TWRP yet just booted into. After boot into TWRP u need to flash twrp in recovery section so it will stay after reboot.
Please read the steps.
Download portable Minimal ADB and Fastboot and latest Official TWRP recovery.
Open cmd from minimal adb and fastboot and write:
fastboot boot and the path you have TWRP.
Example:
Code:
fastboot boot C:\Users\Retrial\Desktop\twrp-3.6.0_9-0-beryllium.img
Then proceed with the rest steps in my guide. Connect ur device to pc while u are booted into TWRP and copy TWRP.img to your device. Then in TWRP press Install Image and select the twrp.img u just copied into ur device. Select recovery and done.
I have made a video to show you what happened (sorry for the bad quality and the moove) :
I think a video is easyest to understand my problem.For information my bootloader is unlock and usb debugging ok.

Hmm strange, probably of MIUI. Anyway since you are going to flash custom rom, when u flash twrp in recovery go back and select wipe and wipe everything (read my clean install guide), go back press format data type yes, and then reboot to TWRP.
EDIT: I just saw u rebooted to system. That's not what we want. Press reboot to recovery.
i reboot first to bootloader after have flash the twrp.img in recovery.That's only the second time that i reboot to system to use the normal mode of the phone and reboot after to recovery mode to show you that mi recovery is back.

The TWRP flashed correctly. You overlap it again by pressing reboot to recovery from MIUI updater.
Don't do that...do the combination to boot to TWRP after flashing it. Power+Volume Up.
And continue with clean install steps in my guide to flash custom rom.
In my guide I write nowhere to boot to MIUI and press from MIUI Updater reboot to recovery, please stick to my guide and you will be fine.
