Because custom roms won't boot on stock oreo kernel.

What custom ROM are you using? I have found them all disappointing, one way or another. I'm currently on rooted MIUI 10 Oreo.

There is something called personal preference.
Just like you prefer MIUI some others prefer custom ROMs

Why are these custom ROMs not compatible with Oreo Firmware??
Edit: I am planning to compile a ROM for the first time. All I have ever done is to compile recovery(For Redmi 5A) where they are compatible with Oreo firmware(just like other recoveries).

Nobody has worked on the oreo sources yet so...
@sunnyraj84348 might be working on it, I don't know, I'm just assuming. Maybe he's focusing on Android 10 ROMs more than Oreo kernel.

Good luck with your project ?

[ i'm noob ] Does orange fox recovery working properly on miui 11 ? Unfortunately,i was update my riva to miui 11,succed to unlock bootloader but not with twrp,when i was flash twrp via fastboot,twrp just show up red screen then dim to black screen & only vibrate when touched. I was forgot to add command delete recovery from fastboot,before flashing twrp. Please help,any suggest to proper twrp at stock miui 11 global stable ? Sorry for bed english.

Not work properly when downgrade from MIUI 11 Oreo,now i experience messed up with stock miui rom,try to reverse back with flash full recovery rom from twrp,succed to flash,but when boot into setup wizard,error message appear,eg; "miui daemon has stopped,under that pop up,again error pop up "google service framework has stopped" > "xiaomi service framework has stopped" > "setting has stopped" & bla...bla..bla...! I can't pass setting wizzard,can't continue to normal screen. Then i flash pixel xperience rom 9.0,flawlessly boot until setting wizard done,run smoothly without error. Usually i like to change between custom then stock rom from twrp when i was bored with 1 rom. But now i'm stuck on pixel experience 9.0 (caf) & no twrp working properly when want to flash stock miui oreo.

you can't do it, without update firmware your phone just bootloop not booting into system
For the love of all that is sweet, just do the following:
1. flash unlock_bootloader.zip from the LineageOS thread.
2. Flash Psy_Man's latest firmware ( Kenzo or Kate, whetever you need ).
3. Flash latest LineageOS nightly.
4. Clear Dalvik & Cache.

If you had your bootloader officially unlocked then do it the normal way, why even go to shady paths and get compatibility issues in future.
The thing is all those firmwares which claims that bootloader won't be unlocked just removes bootloader from firmware, so it doesn't get upgraded but if you're on lollipop bootloader you have to do it the official way otherwise you will bootloop.

Flash the firmware given by thestrix, and if your bootloader dosen't get locked you're on mm bootloader and fine to flash 7.1.2 roms. But if bootloader gets locked(which means you were on lollipop bootloader) then you have to flash latest miui dev rom through edl and unlock it again through miui unlock( it won't give you 50% error again).

I am on an old LOS build right now. So all I have to do is flash this https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634767927 in TWRP and I will be on latest firmware. And then I should be able to flash the new LOS builds without any error 7. Is that correct?

Yep, if bootloader doesn't get locked you're good to go. Otherwise you have to do all the process I have explained above.
My RN3 (Kenzo) is running miui 7,unlocked bootloader and twrp installed. But whenever I install any rom it bootloops. First I tried to flash XENONHD it gets stuck in the xenonhd bootanimation and after that I flashed Pixel rom in this rom it never gets beyond the google boot logo. What's wrong with my device? Please guide me to fix this.
is there a way to know what version of bootloader we have ? (LL or MM)
Not directly, but if you remember where you have got it, you can guess.

It means you're on LP bootloader. If you have officially unlocked, to upgrade to MM bootloader, flash the latest MIUI or the firmware provided by TheStrix on LOS official thread(this will relock your bootloader), go to fastboot, plug device and unlock via Mi Unlock. If you did it unofficially then read a few post back, someone posted a fix.

Nope.... well you can flash TheStrix's firmware, if your phone boots up then you're on MM, if it didn't(Mi logo flashes for a second before turning off again) then LP . Or try a safer way but you needed to download a full ROM. Download the latest LOS(or any latest LOS based ROM), flash it, if you get bootloop then you're on LP bootloader.

Thx for your help.
I've flashed 2 firmwares on my kate(whithout emmc-appsboot.mbn file in it):
7.5.25 (beta) and 8.2.4.0 (stable).
I've got no problem when flashig both, but when I flash Resurection remix (last build which is based on LOS) I stuck on bootanimation. But i don't think it's a bootloop because my phone dont restart(Black screen + MI logo + bootanimation). it just stay on bootanimation and never boot (ask for pin)
Wait but why do you need to unlock officially​?? I unlocked unofficially and flashed lineage (i mean cm14.1) and it worked like a charm. Though you need the firmware.

I somehow uninstalled my OS and no ROMs will Flash..

I somehow uninstalled my OS tonight when I was trying to flash AOSP's Oreo ROM. The flashing was unsuccessful (Error: 7) but I've noticed that no ROMs will flash at all.
I'm getting the same error for all ROMs despite them being suitable for my device:
Updater Process ended with ERROR: 7 Error Installing Zip File "ROM xx.x.x..."
Click to expand...

Things I've done:
I've tried wiping the cache before I flash ROMS
I am on the most updated version of TWRP available for my device (3.0.2)
I've tried changing the updater-script as someone pointed out in another thread but it did not help
At this point, I just want a stable OS that will run on the phone.... Can someone help me? I just want to understand the error and what's causing it and install a ROM that would work...
Look for Mega Unbrick Guide to install a OS.

That's odd, because Error 7 is usually related to Updater-Script. Have you modified your model name in Updater-Script or just removed the line from it?

TWRP version is 3.1.1-1 now so you're not on the last.
Beside that, the question is what was on your device before :
- Did you already installed OOS 3.1.4 at one point?
- Didi you use the BLUpdater method to update the bootloader (logic ) ?
If no to the 2 questions above, that is the problem. So , you'll have to use the mega unbrick guide !

I actually haven't done both. I tried flashing the OOS 3.1.4 full ROM but it did not work. I will update my TWRP to 3.1.1-1 and I'll try it again. I do have an update though, I am able to flash an old version of Android M OOS using "OnePlusOxygen_14_OTA_003_all_201510241934". If I am able to install this, maybe this isn't a bricked device? Any advice would be super useful, thanks in advance.

Personally i don't play pubg but some of the people in telegram group do so support is in the chat group if needed some seem to change kernel to gain some performance but i think it performs good enough unless you have touch issues that some fts users have
I would not recommend flashing miui through twrp as many have reported that it bricks the device or maybe they are just doing something wrong
Twrp is best for custom roms
Use mi flasher for flashing miui

You don't have to flash any vendor zip if you're going to flash MIUI 10. If you wish to flash MIUI 10 for example from en.miui.com the global MIUI 10 then you can just flash the MIUI zip following magisk if you wish to have root then just reboot. You will have to flash the vendor zip if you wish to flash custom rom as custom rom don't have vendor firmware in it. Flash vendor first then the custom rom zip following with gapps and mod optional.
And yeah, if you flash custom rom and then flash MIUI back you might get region locked where you cant change the region, but I've solved that by flashing cust.img from global image zip using fastboot, this is because the cust partition isn't installed properly. It's the best to flash using Mi Flash, but it will encrypt you device. Do it on your own risk, im just simply sharing from my experience and im not responsible if your device change to iOS.

Yes you can flash any Miui Rom via TWRP Download The Flashble Zip Not the Fastboot One.
But When You will flash Stock MiUi 10 Rom Via TWRP You will Loose All Of Your Data.
You Need to Flash DFE After Flashing Stock One.
If You want To Flash Custom Rom
Flash Vendor
Flash Rom and Gapps
If You Want To Root Flash Magisk.
And Then Any Custom Kernel.
Reboot to System.

Hey guys, I have a few questions regarding the recovery, any help is appreciated.
1>Which Recovery did you flash?
2>Can you dirty flash roms(to update the ROM from one ver. to another) in it?(Because i read that the data must be cleared after flashing any rom)
3>Which ROM and recovery are you on?
4>Are there any special methods you need to follow to flash?

1. OrangeFox Alpha build (note the description "Alpha" - meaning it is still at a pre-release stage)
2. You must format data if changing ROMs
3. I have tried 6 Android 11 ROMs (all of them have one issue or the other), and 10 Android 10 ROMs. I will probably settle for EvoX or Corvus (Android 10, both by dungphp)
4. No. Just select ROM zip and flash, and then format data

Idk. I guess it depends on the ROM, and on what has happened between the release of the old version and the new version. If the new release of the ROM doesn't involve dramatic changes to the trees, then, perhaps formatting will not be required. You should follow the recommendations of the ROM's developer.
By the way, I said nothing about wiping data. I referred to formatting data - which is a completely different thing.

I started with the Russian twrp by wszx150 but have also used pbrp, twrp by mauronofrio (most likely to become official twrp for curtana), and I'm now using Orange Fox Alpha (admittedly for its good looks). Every version has its own strengths and weaknesses so it really depends on what you want to do.
For instance, most (or all) TWRP versions cannot decrypt data partition after you change ROMs hence format data is mandatory before you switch (from encrypted) roms.
AFAIK only lineage twrp supports adb sideload,
Pbrp, lwtrp, and the aforementioned twrp by wszx150 are basically same in terms of functionality.
Most work well for backup and restore...
Mtp file transfer doesn't work in Orange Fox (i can overlook that as it is in Alpha stage).
What I'm saying is don't try to get your mind fixed on just one. Such a Swiss Army knife doesn't exist (yet) for RN9 pro.

Installing a rom without recovery

Hi everyone, I want install a new custom ROM (I'm on CrDroid 7.6 on Android 11) but I can't boot into recovery. I tried to flash a new recovery but i get this message from fastboot "(remote: '(recovery_b) No such partition')".
I've always installed custom OS using a custom recovery but it seems that that there is no recovery partition on Android 11 ?
Do I have to flash the boot partition with the custom rom .zip directly ?

You need to:
1. root
2. flash custom recovery
3. flash rom
To flash the recovery you use "fastboot flash boot recovery.img" ?
Do I need to flash both partition ?

This phone have a/b partion system. The recovery partition is present or phone will not boot. Install a rom via fastboot is possible but it's not safe. In every custom rom thread you can find los recovery and how to install procedure. Read with accuracy. Open the section kernel and custom rom. I suggest you pixel experience
Thank you ! The PixelExperience thread got a nice procedure on how to flash it.
I'll try to flash this ROM tomorrow to test it.
If this is successful I'll try other ROM without Gapp included and with official release, any suggestion ?

Yeah but google's feature are useless for my daily usecase and it use more battery.
Great, I'll try it out.

Ah ok! If you don't use Gapps... I suggest you try latest nezuko. The system UI is cool

Yeah nezuko and corvus seems pretty good, I would rather use a popular ROM like lineage but those ROM looks very promising
Corvus is fantastic... With some optimization made with root... In my opinion is the best at now. For performance, stability and systemUI
