I'm having bottloop problems with Redmi Note 4 (mido). at first I used stock ROM MIUI 10 version 8.12 then I tried to flash via twrp using Omega ROM series MIUI 10 display MIUI 11pro android 9 (Pie) .. it turns out ROM has been equipped with Root access, and some applications cannot be opened because there is a default root access ROM. when I want to return to the stable MIUI 11 stock ROM android 7 .. I experienced bootloop .. and the device failed to enter the android system .. does any of the developers know the solution for bootloop? or anyone can provide a solution to delete the default root of the Omega ROM series.
You can try flash from TWRP this script UPDATE-unSU-signed.zip . Search in XDA . I can' t link ( junior member ). It will help you unroot your device.
reflash stock fastboot rom with mi flash tool.
Any way to fix this since i have noticed that some of the apps still detects root even after being unrooted when the every option on the above image is not green (i am currently on lineage os (unrroted) official and this problem doesn't exist on pixel experience)
Hello friends,
I can now flash GSI on my Redmi K30 5G!
The following is the step to flash GSI on Redmi K30 5G (and also probably other redmi devices that support project treble):
1. boot to bootloader (fastboot mode)
2. choose one of fastboot ROMs of China Stable ROM and download it at the link here.
3. extract recovery.img from the downloaded ROM to your ADB fastboot platform tools folder
4. flash stock recovery.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
5. enter fastbootd mode
fastboot reboot fastboot
6. flash GSI ROM of your choice which its size does not exceed the /system of your phone
fastboot flash system system.img
7. wipe all data by entering the following command
fastboot -w
8. reboot your phone
fastboot reboot
My phone can boot GSI ROM with no problem with this method.
Hope this helps.
Edit: add screenshots from the phone with GSI ROM installed.

Any OxygenOS 11 based GSI rom? I found one for K20 Pro. Will any GSI rom works in this way or only ROMs from your given list?

GSI ROMs are no specific to any devices. You can flash any Oxygen GSI ROMs that you found on your devices. But not all GSI ROMs will boot successfully for any devices.
I found this Oxygen GSI ROM here.

I tested CherishOS official GSI this morning by following your method. It stuck at logo, not booting... so I just need to follow your method? any other thing to do? Also Do I need to be in China MIUI stock ROM to flash GSI or MIUI EU will work too?
btw which GSI ROM you are using?

If you followed my method correctly but get bootloop, it means this GSI ROM is not compatible with the device. You need to look for the others. You can test flashing GSI ROMs by using phhusson's GSI ROMs here. His ROMs are the most success ROMs so far. I always use his ROMs to test flashing GSI ROMs for any devices before looking for other ROMs to suit my needs.
There are a number of GSI ROMs that I tested and could boot up K30 5G. For example, Havoc OS, Lineage OS, Legion OS, Fluid OS, Pixel Android 10, etc. You can try other ROMs that you like and would be appreciated to share the results.

OK, Thanks. Another question: if GSI ROM works then how much time it may usually take to boot?

It should be less than 5-10 minutes after the GSI logo boot up.

Ok, it seems it is my bad luck. Couldn't boot a single GSI ROM in my device.
CherishOS: bootloop (logo)
Corvus 15.0: bootloop (logo)
Pixel S : bootloop (Redmi logo)
OxygenOS : bootloop (Redmi logo)
AOSP (latest) : bootloop (logo)
Don't know what's wrong with my phone
Note: I only tested Android 11 GSIs

It may be because your firmware is not updated. What is your lastest firmware before flashing GSI?
However there are some of these ROMs of Android 11 that I could not get them boot up. Try them for Android 10. But I could have phhusson's GSI ROMs boot up for sure.
Edit1: Try flashing this firmware before flashing GSI. And there are a number of TWRP for K30 5G. You can use these to flash GSI as well. But best to install TWRP 3.5 or above in order to flash GSI ROM of Android 11.
Edit2: Here is the link to download updated firmware for K30 5G.

My firmware is updated. I am using Weekly firmware of MIUI EU. So I need to flash latest China firmware?
I have OrangeFOX recovery, will that work for flashing GSI ROM?

Try Stable version. MIUI EU ROMs come with updated firmware. But they are weekly verision.
This Recovery should be able to flash Android 11 GSI ROMs here.
So you can flash Vanilla version of GSI and flash GAPPS later.
I am not sure about rooting GSI with Magisk. But you can try with the custom recovery.
By they way, I have never flash GSI ROMs with custom recovery. Since at the time I flashed Android 11 GSI ROMs, there were no custom recovery for Android 11. Follow their instructions for using it carefully.
Edit: Please note that if you could boot up GSI Logos but get bootloop, it's usually because firmware issues. However there are some GSI ROMs that are not compatible with the firmwares of the devices.
Flashing GSI ROMs are pure OS with no firmwares for Android devices which supports Project Treble like installing Windows on PC. Before that the manufacturers have to build Stock ROMs with firmwares. Right now the manufacturers just build firmwares. This is the main concept of Project Treble.

Ok, I have downloaded TWRP3.5 for this device and will flash latest China stable firmware (12.1.6 for K30 5G). I will try those A11 GSI again and also downloaded A10 based OxygenOS GSI.
Let's see what happen....
Another note is if you see GSI ROMs with vndk lite. This means the GSI ROMs come with necessary firmwares. So this type of GSI ROMs will have more possibility to boot. But vndk lite GSI ROMs are bigger file size than usual GSI ROMs.
For Android devices with limited RAM like 4GB or less, there are also limited number of GSI ROMs that can fit into the system partition. In case you try flashing GSI ROMs on other Android devices, the more RAM, the bigger system partition.

Tested A11 ROMs with both TWRP and OrangeFOX, not working. All of them failed with Bootloop (Redmi logo).
So Now I am going to try A10 GSI ROMs in your method (no TWRP or OrangeFox).
Note: I have flash latest stable China firmware before flashing GSI ROMs as you said

No A10 OxygenOS is working.
But finally able to boot one A11 GSI ROM! (following your method and with stable China firmware)
Descendant XI - https://downloads.descendant.me/Home/Latest
version: Latest (February 2021 patch)
Working: Everything
Issues:
1. some screen flickering for 2-3 seconds after reboot/boot the phone
2. Audio don't work out-of-the-box (Need to enable 'alternate audio policy for Qualcomm' from Phh-treble Settings)
3. No built-in Camera app

Glad that you could flash some GSI ROMs successfully. Actually other than Descendant XI ROM, I could flash and boot some other ROMs as follow:
1. crDroid A11
2. Fluid OS A11
3. Nusantara OS A11
4. StagOS A11
5. LineageOS A11
6. Havoc OS A11
You can find a big vault of GSI ROMs here. There are tens of GSI ROMs to test as far as their unpacked file sizes do not exceed /system partition of the target devices.
Right now crDroid is my most favorite GSI ROM. You can download and test it here.
The reasons why I like this ROM are from stability and least issues and glitches.
I have tested tens of GSI ROMs and many of them have some issues for playing games which fully utilize hardware resources.
When I tested playing games on some ROMs, the games will crash within 15 minutes. But on crDroid ROM, I could play as long as hours with no problem at all.
There are some other glitches about playing streaming VDOs for some other ROMs as well.
By the way, there are different versions of crDroid from different developers. But I tested crDroid ROMs from the link above.
Edit: I usually download Open Camera app for Camera. This app works well just like the camera app that comes with MIUI.

Have you tried flashing vanilla versions of GSI ROMs with fastbootd and flashing Open GAPPS with TWRP or Orangefox?
If this is possible, we can flash Vanilla version of GSI ROMs that easily fit into limited space of /system partition and flash GAPPS later with custom recovery.

The ROM I am looking for (OxygenOS) has no vanilla versions, I didn't find any
Note: Custom recovery having issues with GSI, I can't flash Magisk with OrangeFOX. Flashing is ok with no error, but after re-booting the device, no magisk in the system! Because of encryption problem? base firmware is MIUI China stable, custom recovery may be not supporting encryption of China firmware.
hello, are there any custom rom or gsi avaible for poco x3 gt?

I hope you answer my question, is this device recommend for long time for my need?
My need is mainly for Genshin Impact and other game for content creating. I dont care about software update, but does this device has "good" stock ROM?
Edit: Well yeah, we'are talking about MIUI, i mean is this mediatek more valuable than snapdragon if i dont want to modding it?

Hello friends,i hope you all have a ( flashable ) day .
my device is redmi note 9s ,bootloader is open ,
firmware was MIUI 12.5.5 indian version android 11
i flashed TWRP and installed crdroid android 13 ,, after that i noticed my device got many problems :
1- mini lag ( about .25secend )
2- when try to call someone i always got ( call ended )
3- when someone try to call me my phone ring for just a second then it ends call itself
4- when playing video/audio the speaker work 2 seconds and not work the same period
.............
i tried to :
1- install another rom MIUI ( the first ) using TWRP i got the same problems in addition to rebooting after 3 minutes when screen off
2- install MIUI razer edition i got logo boot loop
3- install reserrection remix using orange fox i got the same problems
......................
any suggestion / help ,please
If this is your daily driver I would suggest you to take a backup and flash stock miui and relock the bootloader as now they have updated to android 12 and miui is the safest you could go.
Otherwise I would say just look for different custom roms and see the replies then flash the one that seems most promising, also I would say use official stable builds with developers actively working on them rather than unofficial forgotten builds.
thanks bro,
i flashed fastboot firmware MIUI 12.5.1 global version and it solved all problems
