Installing a rom without recovery - Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers

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 ?

i suggest rom with gapps... the best vanilla rom for me is los... but the system ui is very basical

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

Is There a Miui 10 china developer rom?

Im looking for it because I flash my phone phone with the newest Version global beta 8.8.2. The main problem is the recovery got changed to stock recovery. All I want for china dev rom is that it has a root privelege. I can't root and flash recovery because I don't have PC now. Please enlighten me. I can't enjoy this miui 10 rom without root. (Specially the headset icon bug) I want to fix it.
You must have PC in order to flash twrp recovery first time?
Without it you can't flash agni kernel to headphone icon fix

But I need an official Miui rom so I can flash it thru the Updater app. My recovery got back to stock recovery that's why I can't flash other custom roms. I should've flashed the eu rom first.
Well,China developer ROM is on here http://www.miui.com/zt/miuirom/download.php
But,you can't use the update app to flash China developer ROM. You can just use twrp or fastboot to flash
Fastboot flash

First flash new vendor mirror.akhilnarang.me/MIUI/beryllium/ latest atm is 9.4.25 i think. You should ofcourse clean wipe before doing the vendor. After flashing the vendor the rom should no longer give error 7
Thanks bro i will try

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.

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.

Question Is it safe to flash your phone multiple times?

I just installed Twrp on my rn10 & wanted to try custom roms. Idk what'd be the best rom for me so is it safe to try each one out? Will it affect the battery life and what should be the interval between each flash? Would be glad if someone answered this : )
i lost count of how many times i have installed roms on this phone (i think almost all) and my phone still works perfectly... like a charm so yes!! install every roms and find the best one for you!!
Regards
Thanks for the reply,can you flash kernel and rom in 1 session using twrp? I mean flashing the rom, and flashing the kernel right after rom installation finished. Im a bit paranoid cuz I bricked my old rn4 lol

TG(Telegram).
Some roms have their own recovery when this one does not exist and must use Fastboot commands to install the rom.
You have to be sure that the rom is for your device, code name FLEUR.
No such roms on XDA, post on T.G.
