Hello, I am newbie yet so I am asking if anyone can explain the vendor's use, and what do I get from installing them.
Thank you for your time
Now almost roms here includes custom vendor. So you need firmware only.
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/vendor/beryllium/
And here's custom rom installation process
Flash rom
Flash firmware
Gapps(optional)
Dfe(if you don't want it to be encrypted)
Magisk(optional)
That's it. No need to know more.

Miui decided to use MODIFIED VENDOR IMAGE hence POCO F1 gets a modified vendor image for Android Pie-based Project Treble GSIs
what was the impact?
custom roms couldn't be flashed (booted) if you don't flash the modified vendor image from twrp
even today when most of the roms have their own vendor you still need to flash the vendor+firmware (atleast)
Developer Akhil Narang started collecting all releases at
https://mirror.akhilnarang.me/MIUI/beryllium/
currently I am using 9.6.27-9.0 which is working best for me, 10.3.6 image made my batter drainage high (atleast i noticed)
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 Kernel ( OPTIONAL- havoc uses shadow kernel , i feel optimus drunk kernel is better, battery and 4g connectivity) even Franco Kernel is very good
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
-----------------------
extraa
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!

I understand but I have installed some custom Roms without finding vendor image and still it works perfect.
And do I need to install this image every time I flash a new ROM?
Thanks

Flashing custom roms will not wipe anything, so the vendor is still there. And firmwares too.
Custom ROMs are one of the best things about Android. One of the best things about the openness of the Android platform is that if you're unhappy with the stock OS, you can install one of many modified versions of Android (called ROMs) on your device. A new ROM can bring you the latest version of Android before your manufacturer does, or it can replace your manufacturer-modded version of Android with a clean, stock version. But with the introduction of the dynamic partition flashing Custom ROMs are a bit tricky. In this post, I will run you through the steps of flashing Custom ROMs on your Poco X3.
Pre-requisites:
Unlocked Bootloader
Custom Recovery
Note:- Always create a backup of your important files before flashing.
Steps:-
From MIUI to Custom ROM
Encrypted
Copy the Custom ROMs zip to your sdcard or your OTG flash drive.
Boot to the recovery.
Flash the required firmware mentioned for the ROM.
Reboot your recovery.
Flash the Custom ROM.
And then format data [**This will wipe your internal storage**]
Reboot (Flash magisk if you want root after the first boot)
Decrypted
Flash this decrypted vendor
Flash the custom rom
Format data and reboot
From Custom ROMs to Another Custom ROM
Encrypted
**Backup your internal storage, incase something gets wrong**
Remove your lockscreen password
Boot to the recovery
Wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik Cache
Flash Custom ROM
Reboot
** If the device bootloops Format Data **
Decrypted
*If your device is encrypted*
Flash the decrypted vendor
Flash the custom rom
Format data and reboot
*If your device is already decrypted*
Wipe data and cache
Flash rom
Reboot
Notes:-
For encrypted people
Always create a backup of your internal storage.
Format data while upgrading from one android version to another.
Downgrading firmware may also require data format
Moving from Gapps build to non-gapps build or vice versa also requires fata format
For decrypted people
You don't need to flash the decrypted vendor everytime unless you come from miui
The vendor will not work on miui

You saved me. I had properly unlocked bootloader, flashed OrangeFox but then I did the wipes and also mistakely formated data, so I couldn't send files from PC to phone to flash the custom rom.
Guess I could've just used the usb otg at this point, but I reflashed MIUI with a script, and reflashed OrangeFox and now I'm good to go.
I thought current custom recoveries don't check for rollback protection (yet)?
It's probably safe to be flashing stock firmwares via custom recovery if you are sure you know what you're doing. But this guide seem to appeal to new comers. Should we suggest they stick to using Mi Flash tool for flashing stock firmwares as it has rollback protection checks?
Or am I just out of the loop and this is no longer the case with custom recoveries for surya/karna?
Thanks for the guide btw. Greatly appreciated.
I miss manually flashing each partition files via fastboot like when I was on my Nexus devices and my Essential PH-1. I have not seen a guide that recommends or even teaches us to flash partitions manually.

Yes it is safe to flash stock fw via custom recovery. ARB hasn't been implemented on surya yet.
Well manual flashing each partition using fastboot on surya is much more complicated. Dynamic partition work differently. In short one have to boot to fastboot than boot to fastbootd than you can flash rom
Are you sure it's not enabled? After running fastboot getvar anti, I get anti: 2 and I just bought the phone without doing any upgrades. Unless this alone doesn't mean that ARB is enabled?

No only if you get "anti:4" itmeans ARB is enabled, otherwise feel free to downgrade via fastboot.

Seems you're wrong. This XDA article states other way:
"
How to find current rollback index
Reboot to fastboot mode
Enter the following command: fastboot getvar anti
If the output is blank, then anti-rollback has not yet been enabled. If you get a number in the output, then that’s your current rollback index."

Use any fastboot stock ROM and MiFlash tool to restore your phone...or flash any custom recovery and use it to flash any recovery stock ROM to restore your phone.
I have 6 days to wait for unlocking the device. I can't wait to get rid of the Mi UI mess and bloat. I haven't had to do a complicated (for me) phone flash process like this since a Motorola phone in 2014. I have a a few questions:
1- Do I need to add/install adb drivers to my WIN10 PC? I came across win adb drivers for the POCO in my search for Windows PC drivers. Which version of adb is needed for Win10? I currently have abd my laptop, but I can't determine the version.
2- Installing the recovery - I see the steps some have posted with TWRP versions, but I'm not really clear on this. Do I go to the folder with TWRP in it and then use a command prompt from there? TWRP or Orange Fox and what version? The posts are confusing.
3- I'd like to have the easiest rom flash for my first go at this phone. I would appreciate a recommendation for which rom might be the best one to start with. I will be want gapps as part of the process, but could flash afterwards if its better that way. Is Arrow OS or Havoc a good choice?
Sorry for all the questions.
Thanks

Flashing ROM and Format data is the usual way....
I now. But the chronologie was another. First Format data, then flash Rom.
Usually in all my old device while flashing roms I have to wipe system data cache then I just flashed the rom, it's my first Xiaomi device I am confused as hell , should i never have to wipe system partition ? , Is flashing firmware necessary everytime ? Are there any risks associated with decrypted vendor ?please guide me I am not noob but these things are completely new to me
Device storage partition schemes have changed and are now dynamic, so previous procedures don't apply anymore. Closely follow your ROM developer instructions in order to avoid bricking your device.

Brother, i have Karna (Indian) one with me. I got update to latest MIUI 12.0.8, after updating i unlocked the bootloader and flashed twrp, but it dint wrok, then had to flash OFox. RN i am on latest lineageOS 17.1. I am having network issues. Someone at the telegram group told me to flash the firmware along with the vendor of 12.0.5 MiUi as he also suffered the same kind of network issue i am having.
but the problem is i am unable to find the Vendor n firmware of 12.0.5. Can you please help me ?
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?

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

i updated install instructions. Also don't forget you must be on MIUI 12.5.7 firmware base.
I downloaded MIUI 12.5.7 but everything is the same.
Now when i write .\adb reboot fastboot the phone reboot itself on FASTBOOTD.
I tried everything but nothing just change because the xiaomi’s stuck on bootloop.

You downloaded MIUI 12.5.7 is a good start but you could have alternatively download and flash only the firmware base which is only about 100MB. Also I see the instructions were not 100% clear, hope this will be clear enough for you. Also before you do, backup your files!
1. You supposed to go into bootloader, not fastboot.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
2. Flash boot.img and vendor_boot.img files through fastboot command on your PC.
Code:
fastboot flash boot_ab ./boot.img
fastboot flash vendor_boot_ab ./vendor_boot.img
3. Now you need to go into recovery mode. It should say pixel experience recovery on top of the screen.
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery
4. Select Apply update -> Apply from ADB.
5. Now sideload the zip file through adb command on your PC
Code:
adb sideload ./PixelExperience_renoir-***.zip
6. You may need to format your data so it will boot properly.
Above commands are examples but might be different on your type of operating system you're using, so take them as example, not the exact command that will guaranteed to work.
If you're still having problem then, there's underlying problem that i'm not aware of and hope someone else will help you to flash it.
Hi, I don't get it I tried everything can't make it work. I finally flashed vendor_boot, and booted on TWRP 3.6.1_11-0 in order to manage to side load on Renoir, and I get this error all time (with the 12 and 12 plus official release of pixel experience) as on the picture.
Could you help me, it's been 6 month I don't manage to installé any pixel experience on this phone. First time I' m stuck with a smartphone ever ... Official/gsi nothing works, I only manage to flash the MIUI ROM and lineage os....
I'm desperate .

TWRP doesn't support Android 12 yet, you need LineageOS or Pixel Experience recovery to sideload.
Edit: Follow instructions here: https://wiki.pixelexperience.org/devices/renoir/install/

Thx for your answer the problem is I can't manage to boot on pixel experience recovery as shown in the tutorial. It says ok when I flash but I can only get to fastboot. And when I just try to fastboot boot 'myrecovery.img', it just rebbotsyto fastboot. That's why I tried to boot on TWRP which works without any trouble :s

TWRP will never work but while you're on TWRP your base should be on V12.5.7.0.RKIEUXM, flash that first in TWRP and then maybe try flash boot.img and vendor_boot.img and go to recovery mode. Without it you will never be able to install. Please give me details what your phone is, is it 5G variant with renoir codename?, is it global or china?, did it had MIUI 12.5 or 13?, these informations are necessary.

It had MIUI 12.x and it is a "eu" phone, I tried to flash the V12.5.7.0.RKIEUXM (miui_RENOIREEAGlobal_V12.5.7.0.RKIEUXM_325e38b5bf_11.0) from twrp it's not working with the same errors messages. I don't really know what to do, i managed to put back my 12.6 beta stock miui from "xiaomi.eu_multi_MI11Lite5G_21.7.7_v12-11-fastboot" version.
When i'm stuck i'm forced to install this back to not be stuck on fastboot loop. I found a "renoir_eea_global_images_V12.5.7.0.RKIEUXM_20220105.0000.00_11.0_eea" fastboot version but the installation is not working (would you have one working from my config ?).
I also tried to flash the firmware (fw_renoir_miui_RENOIREEAGlobal_V12.5.7.0.RKIEUXM_325e38b5bf_11.0 ~104mo) which gave me an "orange" fastboot instead of the fastboot with the funny character. And tried to install the recovery from pixel after but still stuck on fastboot.
Hope it will help you a bit more to help me

i feel like your partition is messed up by TWRP so my advice is clean flash V12.5.7.0 fastboot rom with method of "flash_all.bat" on windows, "flash_all.sh" on linux i forgot the filenames but there's also method with lock in the name which you should avoid and then never touch or install TWRP as it's a bit unstable even with Android 11 roms, now you flash boot.img and vendor_boot.img provided by Pixel Experience through bootloader that only spells fastboot, no extra letter at the end.
This is important, Rebooting into bootloader and fastboot is different, when you do 'adb reboot fastboot' it will show fastbootd with orange text which something you should avoid, instead do 'adb reboot bootloader' or by vol down + power button and flash those 2 files.
If you still having problems try changing your boot slot by
Code:
fastboot --set-active=a
or
Code:
fastboot --set-active=b
And then
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery
If you still having problems, then head over to this telegram group and get help from ROM maintainer: https://t.me/arixelogroup

Thx, but that's what i'm trying to do since yesterday, but i don't manage to fresh install 12.5.7.0 with the fastboot rom i found (miui_RENOIREEAGlobal_V12.5.7.0.RKIEUXM_325e38b5bf_11.0
I always get errors when i run the flash_all.bat, saying that my rom is more recent than the one i'm trying to flash. I tried to delete the "if statement" checking for the versions, but seems to mess up with the "directories name" after.
Would you have some link or place where i can get a working 12.5.7.0 with fastboot install ? I'll try it properly from this one.
Thanks in advance.

Thx for your answer, as i was saying: same error with mi flash tool (look the screenshot)
And if i comment the "checking parts" inside the .bat files, i get directories error on windows: it does not seem to check properly my direcotries name
for example a line is like this:
fastboot %* flash crclist %~dp0images\crclist.txt || @ECHO "Flash crclist error" && exit /B 1
the %~dp0images seems to be my path, but it's not taken properly into accoutn, seems to have " quote problems with the path
Edit: I had to double quote " the path inside the script as my path was having spaces inside
Thx for you help, I managed to install it, the only problem was to properly install 12.5.7 After succeding that everything worked as it should

So that's why... so many hours wasted trying to get Wi-Fi to work. I had the "fantastic idea" of flashing the official global miui (renoir_global_images_V13.0.4.0.SKIMIXM_20220412....) prior to installing DotOS and when wi-fi did not work, flashed Pixel Experience...
And I'm pretty sure flashing miui 12.x will trigger ARB and brick the phone. Right?
