Either no root or no boot - Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro Questions & Answers

Hey Guys,
Curious problem over here.
Since our russian friend of unbrick.ru unbricked my rolled back Mi8 Pro (UD) i face 2 differen problems.
When i install the official global rom of the 8Pro and then install Magisk on a unlocked bootloader i end up in a boot loop. Doesnt matter whether i try the dev or stable rom. Tried 9.5.30 and 9.5.23 aswell as 10.2.2 and 10.3.3
When i use on of the many custom MIUI roms like xiaomi.eu or mi-globe rom (those which are based on the chinese roms) i end up with the device starting but not loading the desktop. I just can see the bootscreen for hours.
Tried to reflash stock global rom in fastboot version aswell as recovery, wiped cache, dalvik, system etc.
Tried all the different ways but it always end up with the two problems.
Any ideas?

ERROR 7 while updating lineage OS

I had downloaded latest version of lineage OS from official website and I tried to flash on my REDMI Note 3 Kenzo but I can't here is the screenshot attached of remark.
Pls help
I was just about to post about this. I have the same issue, a work around I found was described in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGVOR0kugZw
However, now that I have it installed, and try to OTA update, I get the same, I have to repeat the steps in the video every time I update, kinda frustrating and unnecessary imho. I had the latest MIUI updated and unlocked with the miui unlocker before the wiping and installing. All I have found its related to the bootloader not supporting android N.
Look at the error and you will see the issue.
Your firmware is too old.
Download one from Lineage thread and flash that before Lineage
update, I installed the firmware from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/firmware-hmnote3proglobal-t3574361
now update goes thru like its supposed to
every recovery i flash gives me ERROR 7 :/
i have a 'kate' and befor i used to flash roms without issue. kenzo roms and flash kate modem done.
but phone crashed some months ago so i changed but now i want it again. and now im back on did a edl flash miui beta unlocked bootloader flashed twrp (all the twrp possible btw i tried all i could find) they all dont want to flash a custom rom i tried 7 different ZIP of custom roms... i tried to flash 4 diffeeent versions of RR 5.7.4 and 1 RR 5.8.4 all give error 7. flash kate modem. still error, then flashed modem with emmc thing patched nope still wont flash any custom rom
does anybody know how to fix this
You have to erase dalvik cache and DATA it will bring you new setup but still your device would be updated....

Finally switched from MIUI 7.1.1.0 Global stock > V9.2.1.0.LAIMIEK, next bootloader

Finally switched from MIUI 7.1.1.0 Global stock > V9.2.1.0.LAIMIEK, next bootloader
I glad i'm finally got rid of that MIUI 7.1 7.1.1.0 Global Stable stock rom!!!
There was no official upgrade, but here on XDA I saw many new roms & android versions.
But also for my wife : she still has many problems with that google play services error which returned many times!
We both have that nice designed Redmi 3 with good price/quality specifications, but the Chinese ****ed up with the locked bootloader & permission **** to ask online.
For a while I gave up, I was in the stage of miflash_unlock.exe said "Current account is not bound to this device"
But as the errors returned on my wife's phone, I continued in the search to solve this :
-First I installed Root_Xiaomi_Redmi3-ChoiMobile.Vn apk to root my Redmi 3 (although bootloader still locked by the crazy Chinese guys
-I tried to install TWRP recovery, it seemed to work, but at startup it was still the locked baked in old cwm recovery in Chinese.
-Then with XiaoMiFlash I flashed in EDL bootloader mode (not fastboot) this rom : Ido_xhdpi_global_images_V9.2.1.0.LAIMIEK_20180129.0000.00_5.1_global_0843a2170b
-Now i'm finally upgraded to Miui 9, but my Android is still the old 5.1 Lollipop but my phone is not rooted again.
-The "Root_Xiaomi_Redmi3-ChoiMobile.Vn.apk" hack doesn't work on this new rom to root it anymore, anyone knows how to root it now ?
-As i'm on the new rom new, I had the developer option (after tapping a few times on the android version), to bind my Xiaomi account to my device.
-Now i'm in the stage of waiting 72hrs to finally have an official unlocked bootloader.
So when bootloader is unlocked I can finally flash TWRP recovery to test & flash a recent rom here with higher android version (Oreo would probably be too new yet and yet in test fase, probably Nougat for the moment ?)
I have 2 questions :
-How can I root this newer MIUI 9 Rom, is there an APK that works yet ? (the RootGenius_en_2.2.6 doesn't work either)
-What if the official bootloader method still isn't unlocked within 72hrs, how can I do it unofficial ?
This was a crazy adventure, man, what a mess made by Xiaomi
Flash TWRP and flash MIUI.eu ROM. There is new MIUI 9.2 for "ido".
First off, Global Stable starts with 7.5 for our device.
The last question: Flash LineageOS 14.1.
Edit:
Just before the last question one:
If you're unlocked, Magisk or SuperSU should be enough.

Android pie ROMs not working in redmi note 5

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.

Hi so recently today I was able to successfully flash my stock ROM from Global 11.0.3 to Europe 11.2 (20.3.5).
All works, I have a new and version specific TWRP recovery which solves the decryption issue and such.
Only problem though is I can't seem to update my ROM from the latest Europe 11.2 (20.3.12). I am aware that we cannot install OTA updates like we normally would because we are on a custom recovery. I tried flashing it from the 'choose update package' where it brought me to the TWRP and executed OpenScript to flash, and also tried flashing from TWRP itself. No luck. Bootloop into Redmi Logo and TWRP recovery, so I end up restoring the working Eu version.
An updated tutorial on how to install OTA roms on custom recoveries would really be appreciated, thanks!
Hey OP, could you make a How to install GSI guide?... I'm really interested on doing that.

you have to flash https://build.nethunter.com/android-tools/no-verity-opt-encrypt/no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.1.zip and then update the OTA..dont forget that we normally use a custom rom with TWRP, no point of having twrp with stock rom??? try xiaomi.eu , its way better and you dont have any problems with updates.

Hello, you are lost mate...
You use Xiaomi.eu ROM, it's a custom MIUI ROM (Not Official ROM).
You can install updates given by Updater app (System app) without issue on this ROM.
If your phone bootloop just after a ROM update, and not after flashing Magisk, it can be because of a bad encryption from "bad" TWRP (so you need to "Format Data" in new TWRP <-- installed by xiaomi.eu ROM)
-OR-
Did you use my K20 to Mi 9T conversion patch (from xiaomi.eu forum)?
Check for update with Updater app, download and install it. That's simple on xiaomi.eu ROMs.
Trying to install evolution X on my Mi 9T but whenever I flash TWRP the phone won't boot to it, just keeps loading the fastboot screen. Anyone have any ideas where I'm going wrong? I've reflashed stock with miflash for now to get it working.

I have the same problem, but I can't find a solution. Did you find it ?
I found the solution with explication on how to install havoc_OS
after format data you have to reboot to recovery, flash firmware +rom+gapps...without firmware it wont boot on some roms..read well OP instructions, mine are only for xiaomi.eu, you dont need to flash firmware and it will boot fine.
