Oh.. i didnt know this was possible.. i thought recovery rom can only be flashed through mi recovery..

Tools shows error ?? Which tool you are using to flash Miui ROM?
it's better to flash using mi flash while returning from custom ROMs
9.6.4 is the latest global stable ROM

Hi.. I flashed via redwolf recovery and it was a success.. Except that the recovery remained the same.. Is there any option I should know about so that the stock mi recovery remains after flash..

1 YOU SHOULd do fastboot boot redwolf.img to just boot recovery
however if u wana bring back the stock recovery!
download the Fastboot rom (2.2gb) of same version!
open miFlash
connect usb to device (when device is switchoff) - press all 3 buttons volumes +power while connect usb!
this will put device in EDL (emergency download mode) , qualcom driver has to be installed! (mi flash installs it)
check connection on miflash and Extract and further extract the fastboot rom , it will 7gb of data ! and follow instruction in the miflash to select the RIGHT folder (extracted) so that it will start flashing the device!
it will take 10 mins and device will be flashed clean! and recovery will be re instated
(all data will be lost in the internal storage)
however!
you can also try recovery.img from one of these folders! put it in your sd card
boot redwolf (fastboot boot redwolf.img) and click install image, locate recovery.img and select it, redworlf will ask you to install this file as what? , select RECOVERY.
wola!

Write to device failed
While installing twrp it shows write to device failed... please help me...

Can I dirty flash MIUI 10 over MIUI9?

My Note 5 Global is on stock MIUI 9.6.4 ARB4 with TWRP recovery and Magisk. If I download the ROM from the MIUI website would I be able to dirty flash it over my existing MIUI 9? Does the new ROM contain updated firmware? Could I brick my phone if I tried to restore a TWRP backup of MIUI 9 over a failed MIUI 10 installation because of ARB?
Thanks

well i think it needs to reset phone as you said it yourself it updates new firmware.
2 question if your twrp back up its a 9.5.17.0 or eralier then yes itll brick. as this will be ARB3 and miui qo ARB4.
i dont understand why so much fuss over ARB4. i can do samethings as in ARB3. i just cant use command to flash. i need command to boot into image then install twrp from within twrp using twrp.img.

But I assume the OTA update for phones with stock recovery does not reset the phone. And I don't know if the new rom actually contains new firmware.

Yeah moving from stable to beta or vice versa clears the data but moving between stable to stable ROM will not clear data

Thanks but my main concern is doing the update via TWRP rather than OTA. Can this be done as a TWRP dirty flash or does the OTA run a script during the update?

You have to flash full recovery ROM in TWRP . Yes you can do dirty.. MIUI10 has anti4 bootloader same as 9.6.4

So I dirty flashed the update with twrp then flashed magisk. Everything went fine and I still have twrp.

No. Phone will go back to original RECOVERY after 2nd restart.
Does that TWRP is functional with REDMI NOTE 8 PRO ?
Some functions may work, some not.
Installing root with this TWRP will cause bootloop.
When something go wrong....
If you end up with BOOTLOOP, for any reason ( Magisk etc. )
Just flash boot.img from FASTBOOT + RECOVERY+BOOT and bring your phone back to life.
This boot.img was extracted from firmware linked above.

So, I guess we have found a way to install twrp and it persists after flashing.
How about magisk? Does it still lead to bootloop efter following this process with twrp?
And how do we do a system update after at have twrp installed?

Are you using the note 8 pro?
If yes, then it is fully supported by mi flash? I think it's the safest way to flash stock rom right now because you don't have to unlock the boot loader just to flash global or china rom.

The ROM is based on the Chinese beta version 9.10.17 Miui 11 and the Magisk is integrated into the ROM. Just flashed the archive with ROM from TWRP. I do not have a direct link to ROM - I downloaded it from the OTA server. You need to ask on the developers site.

Dude, flash miui fastboot ROM like this (search on YT):
HOW TO FLASH MIUI via FASTBOOT - REDMI NOTE 8 PRO
tha channel name is Konah the Begonia Guardian
*chose your version like pggcnxm

buddy how do you know that you have Chinese version with global rom.
i have this device but not sure if it is global or not

I'm using cn and moved to global.
Here is what I have done:
- Unlock
- Flash fastboot global rom (Only A9 available)
- Update to latest
- Flash orangefox
- Use TWRP's guide to flash vbmeta to disable and avoid tripping AVB (see TWRP thread)
- Boot to system once
- Reboot to recovery
- ...
- Profit
The trickiest part is when flashing recovery. If you don't enter the recovery after entering "fastboot reboot" command, your recovery would likely be replaced. Hold vol+ when entering command.
Be carefull when updating. If you have not flashed a MIUI full rom on orangefox, you cannot do incremental update, so go with full rom once. Also I have bootloop once, and fortunately escaped. Here is my solution (need someone to test, since this is my daily driver)
- Vanillafy everything (uninstall magisk, restore stock boot.img, restore stock recovery)
- Update
- Customize everything
OR
- After flashing update, dont reboot to system. It will likely to trip AVB. Flash vbmeta once and try to reboot.
If you have tried second update method and succeeded, please do tell.
Hope this help.

From the packaging, if you have a red box, it's chinese. If white, it's global.
From rom version. If it says someting like "QGGMIXM", it's global. If it says "QCGMIXM" or something like that, it's chinese.

pretty simple bro, just return to miui 11 first because I fear you can brick, after that, just flash any twrp for a10 or a9 (depending of your android version) then wipe dalvik, cache, data.
**miui is problematic flashing in different versions, in my video I recommended donwgrade first

I have the same situation.
Mine was worst. I didn't know my phone was chinese with global rom, 'cause the chinese sold me 'global version', and sent it in white box, but it's the chinese version with global rom.
Well, I tried following a few tutorials, but all after fastboot twrp, close AVB, install ROOT and reboot, started bootlooping and I had to flash global rom again with mi flash. Can't get root access / magisk.
Did you solve that? Please, guide us.

You can, working flawlessly. But once go global, never lock your bootloader.

You can use below TWRP Thanks LR Team. (I tired Miui 12 with CH Device)
install TWRP in fastboot
Reboot TWRP after Advanced >File Manager > delete "system_root/system/recovery_fromboot.p"

Will Update with OTA brick my phone ?

First of all i'm running official global rom on global variant. 11.0.6.0(PGGMIXM)
I have TWRP installed from the following post https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-8-pro/how-to/recovery-twrp-recovery-redmi-note-8-pro-t4033695.
Now there's a system update 11.0.4.0QGGMIXM | STABLE 2.0G.
If i aply this update will this brick my phone or not ?
Edit:
1* The update 11.0.4.0QGGMIXM | STABLE 2.0G. did not brick the phone. But you will need to flash the TWRP file again from the post "v1210 for Android 10". Follow directions from post when flashing. You will then have Magisk en Root again.
2* For the update 11.0.5.0QGGMIXM | STABLE 2.0G. I did the same in edit *1

I came here to ask the same question as I am in the same condition as you. I would ask one more question:
I downloaded the OTA as a zip file. Could I flash it on TWRP? Wouldn't it case a soft brick or bootloop?

No it wont,i just did an update with twrp and its working perfectly,
if the update fails ( mine did) after restart it will ask you to download the full rom its 2gb,download that and update it

you did the Update?, did it work for you?.

can anyone confirm this?
i also have 11.0.6.0 android 9 global with twrp and magisk.so if i update it to 11.0.5.0 android 10 via ota update,will it brick the phone or no chance.
thanks

just as a rule of thumb any modification to the device will leade to problems via OTA. always manually update when you have a modified phone.

I'll go like this if I were you:
1. Unroot, uninstall magisk. Better search first if you dont know how.
2. Flash android 9 via fastboot then OTA.
Or
Flash android 9 via fastboot, restart then flash android 10 via fastboot too.
Remember: NEVER RELOCK YOUR BOOT LOADER when flashing via fastboot
Then twrp, root, etc..

i got it already on a10

Did you do OTA directly from your custom ROM?

i was on 11.0.6.0 android 9 stock rom.from there i flashed 11.0.5.0 rom with miui flash tool.
