hello,
so I was just wondering is it safe to flash MIUI 10 global rom with twrp? I know that it will probably replace the twrp with stock recovery, but it is easily fixed. I had to restore old backup and right now I'm on MIUI beta rom but with beta roms being shut down starting from 1st july, I just want to convert to the latest MIUI global rom which is avilable here on thier offical site and it is called Version: V10.3.4.0.PEJMIXM (MIUI10)
so again my question:
1. is it safe to flash this rom with TWRP?
2. will i need fastboot zip file if I choose to flash with TWRP?
3. or can I just download the normal zip and flash it through local update feature? please take note that twrp is installed on my phone
so that's all.. thanks for your time:good:

No,I recommend downloading the full (recovery) rom and flashing it in twrp, and then flashing the 'Disable Force Encryption' zip and later magisk if needed.., wipe dalvik cache & reboot
This way you don't lose twrp or anything else on your phone

Hi ethanks for your reply. What do you mean by full rom? Does twrp allow flashing miui global roms just like any other custom roms?

Of course it does..
I'm talking about the full rom also called as recovery rom (Example :-
https://en.miui.com/getrom-355.html?m=yes&mobile=2
Visit this link to see the latest miui stable & beta ROMs for Poco f1, both of them are full ROMs aka recovery ROMs of the latest miui for Poco f1
1) I assume you have already unlocked bootloader etc..
First you have to have the essential files i.e the rom zip file you want to install, disable Force Encryption zip file, Magisk zip file (All files links will be available in the main Poco f1 thread)
2) Next you boot into twrp (Power + volume up button)
Next select install, navigate to the downloaded rom zip file and swipe to flash (DONT reboot after flash, click back)
3) Now again select install & now flash the disable Force Encryption zip file (This is very important & should be done during every rom flashing)
4) Next go back & flash Magisk for root
5) Wipe dalvik cache and reboot

Did you flash stable rom ?
And did you erase the data or internal storage?
I am on beta as well and have unlocked bootloader and twrp & magisk installed with Force encryption Disabled.
I want to switch to 10.3.5.0 Stable ROM.
But I don't know whether to erase Data partition or not.

1) Use migrate app from play store to take a backup of current phone app data, the backup is stored in a flashable zip format
2) Next boot to twrp, choose wipe and select davlik, cache, system, data later follow my steps in my previous comment to flash new rom
3) Set up phone etc, Make sure Magisk is installed properly
4) Next boot into twrp & flash the migrate zip file located in migrate folder, reboot after flashing, you will get a notification about migrate backup once rebooted, open it and restore everything or select choose to restore for selective restore of data

Hello Friends,
After a lot of search and read I am confused. What is complete set of steps required to flash MM rom (non Miui)? What precautions I should take since I unlocked unofficially?
My needs for daily driver is
Good battery life
Working GPS
Working Camera
Root (for titanium backup and adblock)
Current status
Unlocked - UNOFFICIALLY
Recover - ALKA
Rom - Miui LP Global stable
Security - Fingerprint + Pin
Steps I have collated so far
* Remove pin and delete fingerprints
* Do I need to do something about encryption ?
* Goto recovery
** Should I flash another recovery ??
** Nandroid backup
** Wipe cache/dalvik/data/system
** Flash
**** CM13 Firmware
**** Rom (Example RR 5.7.4)
**** Kernel (Example Radon)
**** Gapps
** Clear Dalvik
** Reboot
If fingerprint issue
* Goto recovery
** Flash
**** Goodix Fp8 ( First check if Goodix)
**** Kernel
** Wipe Dalvik
** Reboot
Thanks for your inputs on above. Please also suggest MM rom suitable for my needs.
I'd suggedlst you use Cyanogenmod 13 by TheStrix.
All are stable, I haven't encountered any issues.
What you need to do
-Phone's bootloader needs to be unlocked
-Flash CM13 Firmware (if you're coming from MIUI8, no need to flash this)
-Flash CM13 ROM (Snapshot)
-Flash GAPPS
-Flash Radon Kernel latest version. (I recommend you to usre Radon Kernel because the stock kernel has battery reading issues, it decreases by 2%)

* I'm at MIUI 8 but Lollypop .. so if I get you correctly, I need not flash CM13 firmware.
* Another query - is there no extra precaution required for Unofficial unlock and no need to use any other TWRP?

I had a problem with unofficially unlocking maybe because the unofficial unlock requires to flash Lollipop Global ROM and I was running MM. What I did is find a way that requires to flash MM Dev ROM to unlock. Maybe you won't have a problem if you're gonna flash it using Dev ROM.

I think since mine is unofficial then Step 3 requires removal of emmc_appsboot.mbn before flashing. Also I will need to remove recovery.img from the miui rom to avoid TWRP being overwritten
I get the idea that we need to flash miui mm rom first so that partitions are created. But doesn't that can be taken care by flashing CM13 firmware?

yup is better to flash miui mm first and unlocked bootloader, CM13 is to old and didnt get update firmware today, so i didnt flashed CM13 Firmware.
why didnt unlock officialy ?

I think recovery rom will update both bootloader and recovery, if those files are not removed
I am currently on miui 9.2.1 and i want to flash recovery and root my device.
So,i don't want to break miui ota updates and saw videos about redwolf recovery on youtube and my question is which rom file of miui should i flash on my phone
I have already miui 9.2.1 zip file which i used for flashing my phone via mi flash tool can i use that or any other zip?
And before flashing that zip should i clean data,dalvik,cache
Or should i directly flash that zip file
Before you flash MIUI, you will first need to install Redwolf Recovery. The version of MIUI can be your current one or the latest one.
Install Redwolf Recovery
Boot to Recovery
To enable MIUI OTA Support, click Advanced->Special Actions
Scroll to the bottom and check off "Include system in OTA survival", "Aggressive stock recovery deactivation", and "Support MIUI Incremental OTA"
Clear Dalvik/Cache, Cache (no need to clear data, unless you want to start fresh)
Install MIUI, and reboot (no need to flash lazyflash zip file as Redwolf does it automatically after any install)
Your device now supports OTA. Note that whenever you install OTA, it may seem like it takes forever or it's frozen. Don't worry, just leave it. (May take up to 10 mins)

You can use the current version of MIUI which you already have, or downloaded an updated version of the Stable or Developer MIUI to flash over.

Okay bro
Thank you so much for your quick replies
Just unlocked the bootloader , latest MIUI global beta. Here are the questions which needs valid answers
1. Need to flash TWRP and root. Which twrp image will not need any encryption disabler flashed every time I flash a rom? please give the link of the most stable and recent version of it.
2. I will flash magisk. How will it behave with OTA on miui global beta?
3. Will I receive OTA update? If I do, how to flash it properly? I dont want to roll back to stock recovery just to flash an ota and then again flash twrp. And I dont want to flash full rom either.
4. If I am able to flash OTA through twrp, do I have to wipe anything? Im asking if I will loose any data or not.
5. As far as I know, I need to unroot everytime before I flash OTA? what does that mean actually? If im rooted, will I not be notified of the OTA update through the updater app? Or do I have to manually downlaod the ota from the web?
6. And one more thing. I dont want the clock on the top left in any screen, lock or home. Which mod will remove the clock and add regular notification icon? (working with miui beta ofcourse)

I can answer your questions partially.
2 & 3. Flashing TWRP and Magisk will result in OTA zip not being downloaded. Instead, the full ROM will be downloaded automatically.
4. AFAIK, you can't flash the OTA zip through TWRP.
5. If you want the OTA, you will have to be completely stock, no modifications to system files. Only then the OTA zip will download and only then you can flash it. You will ofcourse be notified of the availability of the OTA zip even if you are rooted but it will not download because it does a check of your system before downloading. Only the full zip will download if you are rooted.
It is much easier (atleast for me) to accept the full download and flash it through TWRP and then boot back to TWRP (to preserve it and to avoid overwriting by stock recovery) before booting into system. If you only wipe Dalvik and cache, there is no need to reflash TWRP and Magisk. Ofcourse if TWRP gets overwritten somehow, then flashing it and Magisk again is not a big thing.

OrangeFox Recovery has a feature to disable force encryption without flashing the DFE.zip everytime you flash a custom rom.
And it supports MIUI OTA Updates.

Some custom roms are AOSP based so all MIUI bloatware or features are not available in AOSP based custom roms.

Ohh yeah.. Unlocking Bootloader will wipe all data (internal partition and data partition) except on the sdcard partition
*Urgent* Need clarifications regarding the flashing of TWRP recovery & custom ROMs
I want to flash a custom ROM (Pixel Experience Plus) on my Poco/Pocophone F1.
It would be of great help if I get clarifications regarding the following:
1. After unlocking the bootloader, is it necessary to flash TWRP recovery using 'fastboot flash recovery' cmd command, to flash a custom ROM? Or can TWRP recovery just be booted by using the 'fastboot boot' cmd command & then flash the ROM? (This is because I'd prefer to flash a custom ROM without permanently flashing TWRP recovery, I want TWRP temporarily)
2. In case if it's necessary to flash TWRP using 'fastboot flash recovery' cmd command, then do I have to flash DFE (Disable Force Encryption). Can I skip flashing DFE? (Because I don't want to flash DFE & want TWRP temporarily)
3. I want a clean install of the custom ROM. So, can I wipe Dalvilk/ART cache, Data, System, Cache, Internal Storage, SDCard? i.e. everything except, USBOTG (Because, the custom ROM & firmware ZIP files are stored in it & I'll flash them from USB OTG device).
Would this type of wiping affect the TWRP recovery?
4. After wiping everything except USBOTG, can the custom ROM & firmware ZIP files be transferred into the phone's internal storage by connecting it to the PC, while in TWRP recovery?
5. Is it safe to flash the ZIP files from a USB OTG device?
6. As I already mentioned that I want TWRP temporarily (If it's possible). After flashing the firmware & custom ROM. If the recovery is still a stock Mi recovery. Would it affect the functioning of the custom ROM in any way?
If all of the above can be done, is this one of the proper way to flash/boot TWRP recovery & flash a custom ROM? If not, please guide me accordingly.

i'm no expert and i'm fairly new to flashing if you're kind enough to read it here's my 2cents.
1) I believe it is necessary to flash with that command & have TWRP as your custom recovery , it is packed with powerful tools. so i don't see a problem not wanting it permanently and it saves you the hassle of flashing it again when changing roms , fixes,etc..
2) Yes , you need to flash the DFE so you won't encounter any errors in TWRP later.
3) " Dalvilk/ART cache, Data, System, Cache " this should be okay , no need to flash everything. for best practices do a factory wipe in TWRP and in advanced mode wipe those 4. make sure to create a backup in-case something goes wrong.
4) I haven't tried this yet , but it seems not doable as you need permission in the phone for the default USB connection toggle if it's in data transfer mode , usb debuggin , charging etc. best is boot your phone then do the transfer in file manager.
5) Yes it is safe since OTG is another form of External Data devices such as SD Card , etc.
6) No it wouldn't affect the rom functionality since rom and recovery is two different thing.. but still , to avoide future mishaps stick with TWRP

1. if you always want to depend on PC to trigger your Poco in to recovery then use command "fastboot boot recovery.img", otherwise lets say you are on the move and got pixel update! you can simply download it , and flash it in 15 mins on the go , so mainly its upto you . from security point of view, yes its not good to have twrp flashedi n your /recovery , anyone can boot and do harm! , so its a judgement call for you...
2. again upto you, DFE wont interfere/confilt with either rom or twrp
3. android device have various paritition wiping "/system" & "/data" (user setting and apps & appdata) is ENOUGH and called CLEAN FLASHING in various threads of custom roms. you don't have to wipe internal storage!!! you will lose you data... BUT YES if you get encryption error then you must click "FORMAT DATA" button on twrp in order to make storage usable/accessable to twrp. this FORMAT DATA will format your /data /system and /internalStorage partitions and you will delete all your data! then you can flash custom rom of your choice from scratch
4. you don't get access of TWRP FILEMANAGER via fastboot commands from pc, BUT you can do similar by enableing TWRP SIDELOAD option under settings, this adb sideload is a mode listening for new incoming file to flash! if you side load pixelrom.zip from fastboot command while your twrp has active sideload waiting, fastboot will start sending the file and twrp will wait and as soon as the transmit is completed! the file will automatically be flashed!. ,
however you can put files in usbotg drive or combo drive and using file manager in twrp move files from HERE to THERE!
5. I always do it!, but make sure the connection is not faulty!!! otherwise high chances of incomplete flashing and I lost my redmi3i due to impcomplete flashing of stable rom! (bricked)
6. no it wont affect! infact you can even keep the /recovery partition blank! ( fastboot erase recovery).
for MIUI FLASHING/ROOTING / Disabling force encryption etc , this post is king

I am on HAVOC2.8 and this is how i did it
1. flashed TWRP 3.3.1 unofficial (download it from HERE ) ref Reference - as official twrp has TOUCH driver issues. this one worked with me very well
2. I wiped /data, /system then
3. flashed VENDOR.zip from HERE
4. FLASHED CUSTOM ROM (i use HAVOC2.8)
5. FLASHED DFE HERE - REFERENCE
6. FLASHED GOOGLE APPS ( GAPPS.ORG) ( ARM64>9.0MicroPackage)
7. Flash Optimus Drunk Kernel ( OPTIONAL- havoc uses shadow kernel , i feel OD kernel is better, battery and 4g connectivity)
8. FLASHING MAGISK19.3
9. when i was on havoc2.7, by using MIGRATE, it made flashable zip of my APPS+DATA, stored in internalStorage, and now I will FLASH that file., Mine size goes to 2gb you can get it from HERE
10. WIPE CACHE/DELVIK
11. REBOOT
fire reboot may go in to bootloop and then second reboot may take a while and finally you should see Pixel Setup asking google accounts and info etc
once after you finish setup! don't RESTORE APPS from PLAYSTORE, (download only license apk, in my case I have purchases many apps from playstore and saperate license info is always appear in intial setup! SELECT THOSE ONLY)
ONCE playstore is DONE downloading all your selected (fewer) apps, and MAGISK ROOT is working...... put device on AIRPLANE MODE
FROM DROP DOWN Notification panel, CLICK MIGRATE, and it will prompt you what do you wana restore from your previouce ROM to newly flashed HAVOC ..APPS+SETTINGS+PERMISSION+DATA etc - migrate restoration may take upto 30 mins,
once done, uninstall from system and reboot device!
REMEMBER I DONOT RECOMEND MIGRATE TRICK FOR WHATSAPP, it doesn't work properly and NOTIFICATION ISSUES with BLANK DP observed by me whenever I forcely re-instated whatsapp by migrate!
Hello
I am using MIUI global 11.0.8 stock rom. Recently just unlocked the bootloader and trying to figure out how to flash LineageOS in it.
Tried to followed this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/how-to/xiaomi-poco-f1-unlock-bootloader-custom-t3839405
But it seems like it is pretty old and not updated. Should i follow this thread or there is something updated? Also feels like i'm missing various things like disabling encryption(!), needs to be on old stock rom for proper installation, customized TWRP recovery and specific Xiaomi programs to do it properly. Could someone identify the missing info/issues i'm having trouble with? TIA.

FIRST OF ALL BACKUP YOUR DATA. Go to fastboot mode and flash latest twrp recovery. Boot to recovery and wipe cache, system and data. Since this is the first time you are installing a custom rom you should format data in twrp. After formatting data reboot to twrp then transfer latest Lineage OS flashable zip in you phone's storage and flash it. Then flash gapps if you want. Then magisk if you want root and DFE if you don't want encryption. That's it. Now reboot to system.
And remember google is your friend.
