Hi,
I'm new to Mi Max & Locked bootloader stuff. I ws using Mi4 before gettin this phone. Im not new to flashing. I have some questions, hope someone wil help me.
1. Currently im on 7.5.4.1. Can i flash MIui 8 global dev directly on 7.5.4.1 or i need to follow some procedure?
2. For ROOT, i have to unlock the bootloader and i have already sent the request for unlocking which might take some days. Is there any other way to root and install TWRP?

Follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max/how-to/guide-install-global-miui8-root-t3435594
Make sure you follow the instructions carefully as there are different versions, i.e. Hydrogen (32gb) or Helium (64/128gb).
Paul.
Bootloader unlocked.
Now can i flash miui rom zips directly in recovery(twrp) or still need to flash in fastboot?
If i flash in fastboot, will my bootloader still stay unlocked or will it get locked?
Will i get ota updates if im using twrp?
Is there any simple root guide for dummies ?
Hi everyone .. Is rooting the mi 6 as easy as rooting the redmi note 4? are the steps below correct ?
- Unlock bootloader
- flash twrp via adb then reboot to recovery
3- flash lazyflasher ? (although i didnt find one for the mi 6 in the forum)
- flash magisk then reboot
actually my quesstion is about step 3 .. on redmi note 4 we have to do that if we wanted to keep the twrp installed .. is this necessary for the mi 6 ?
thank you

1. there are many ways. using the official sytem updater and searching for new updates. but if you are rooted and have twrp. i suggest to use either orange fox or red wolf twrp's they support OTA. thats for official miui. or you can download zip and use the sytem updater and using the 3 dots and data package.
or unlocked bootloader using fastboot rom 2.5GB and miflash tools. i think this is the best way when you have problems and needs a fresh clean installation. beware that at bottom the option its selected to relock bootloader . just change to clean. clean and lock will flash and lock bootloader.
2. depends am not sure in RN5 how is camera. most of the times when you dont use official rom from vendor camera quality decreases. say using stock firmware will give you best quality then when using AOSP LAOS.
if camera doesnt suffer from decrease quality then its good. your phone will be faster,more battery and there are lots of roms available. i have not tried AOSP or LAOS roms in RN5 thought.
2. i love masik rom over official rom. this is miui based rom. but no OTA. you have to manually flash new updates.
3. not sure about your question.
4. doesnt matter ARB. in ARB4 only thing that changes its that in order to have twrp permanent you have to do an extra step. ARB3 you flash twrp.img. and had to use lazy flasher file.
in ARB4 you have to boot twrp. then in twrp you must flash twrp.img to have pemanent. or use orangefox and thats it.

Hello:
1. Being you are on ARB4, I would be extremely careful flashing firmwares. It's generally not necessary anyways, although sometimes newer firmwares can contain some bug fixes. In the ROM section you can find a thread with a firmware collection, including versions of firmware that have been stripped of ARB and thus *should* be safer to flash. You can follow instructions in that thread if you decide you want to flash.
2. Of course not. MIUI is a decent ROM by itself.
3. Of course not. It's purely a matter of preference. All ROMs you will find for your device support your device (duh), regardless of the base used.
4.There is no firmware recommended per se, because firmware is released by Xiaomi, thus we don't really know what's inside. We can have a general idea sometimes if a bug fix was applied our if ARB was changed looking at the whole ROM release notes, but that's all.
Hope that helps you.
Dears,
In the past i flashed custom roms on few phones, but Mi A2 Lite is my first phone with A/B partition and with GSI ability.
1. There is any particular changes in flashing procedure in comparision to, for eg. my previous phone Redmi 3S? (fastboot oem unlock, fastboot flash recovery, install rom in TWRP and voila),
2. If there is - can someone explain it to me? Or maybe there is some good guide with wrong tags and i can't found it.
I have v10.0.12.0 rom version (july update).
Hi,

Hi guys,
I want to install a custom ROM to my Xiaomi A2 lite. I am currently on Android 9 (V10.0.20.0 PDLMIXM) Stock FW.
I have flashed custom roms before to other devices (Samsung and OnePlus) but I'm kind of lost with the Xiaomi A2 lite.
Which steps need to be done first in order to flash a custom rom? I know for sure that I'll need a recovery image (TWRP), but which other steps are necessary?
For example:
- bootloader unlock?
- rooting the device?
- flashing a fastboot image?
I found loads of threads in the subforums, but no guideline on what to to first (and in which order).
Could somebody point out (by linking to the threads)?
Cheers!
Hey. Just follow this guide, works like a charme.
