You need stock recovery and bootloader unlock for original rom image flashing, for all other roms, you must follow the instructions without any hickups.

Cannot flash any rom ERROR:7 please help !

Sorry for my bad English grammar,
I have stucked in TWRP for all this day, flashed many different roms and got the same message :
"E1001: Failed to update system/vendor image.
Updater process ended with ERROR:7
Error installing zip file '...' "
My base is 11.0.4 xiaomi.eu rom (MIUI 11, Android 10), start flashing 11.0.3 custom rom (MIUI 11, Android 9) and got that ERROR, then flashed Havoc/ASOiP rom, end up with flashing STOCK MIMAX3Global_V11.0.2.0.QEDMIXM on Mi offficial site via TWRP but still no luck, samething.
I have already tried lastest TWRP 3.3.1, 3.2.3, PitchBlack Recovery, and modified Updater-Script aswell (Delete 1st line).
Thank you for your help ! :crying:

Have you tried any of these tips?

Did you tried any android 10 ROMs?
I'm not sure if the downgrade from 10 to 9 is possible at all

I had wiped my system partition at one point and got this as well. Fixed by using the mi flash tool and the full system image (not a twrp / orange fox rom) and then wiped my data partition to get rid of the boot password. I don't know if anti rollback effects 10 to 9. Look into it though. You're looking for a fastboot rom. Just make sure to not "clean and lock". I'm having trouble finding the fastboot rom I found to fix it but it should come in a .tgz file. Good luck

Help - not booting into os!

Hi.
I dont know where to start.
My redmi 5a had the last original software miui 11 based (android 8.1). Then I successfully unlocked the bootloader some days ago and somehow managed to install nitrogenOS (android 11 based).
Then I tried to flash another custom rom and everything went bad. I cant boot into any os anymore. I get stuck at the boot screen with the android logo and after some time it starts again and again...
I already tried to install a custom oreo recover firmware, which works, so I could start twrp again. But then every os I tried to install does not work. Fastboot works.
I am very confused now and dont know what to do next

Since you have bootloader already unlocked you can use Mi Flash (Xiaomi's own flash tool) to flash a stock ROM back to you device. This usually help, but of course, it will make you lose the custom ROM installed and the recovery.
Also, pay attention while flashing with this tool. There is an option at the bottom of the program that locks the bootloader again. If you don't want that you have to change this options every time you close the program.

OK, I started XiaomiTool V2 (on linux) and choose the option, that my device is bricked. I then have to choose my model (Redmi 5a riva) and start in fastboot. Now the tool starts to download and install the following rom to recover the smartphone:
riva_global_images_V11.0.2.0.OCKMIXM_20191106.0000.00_8.1_global_605da3d46d.tgz
But it does not work. The smartphone starts and I can see the start screen (powered by android). After some seconds there is a white screen with the words: just a sec. Then the smartphone starts again and it repeats again and again...

Nobody an idea?

This has happened to me before. From the name of the image that XiaomiTool download and installed I can assume it is an more recent ROM. (since it has 2019 and 8.1 Global in it)
Do not let XiaomiTool download and install a ROM. Download a older Stock ROM yourself and make XiaomiTool install the ROM that you have download.
As I said previously. Try to download the original Stock ROM that came with your phone when you bought. BEFORE ANY official updates from Xiaomi. This have worked for me.

Hi.
Thanks It works now. I have installed the stock rom.
Is there a guide to get from stock rom (nougat) to custom rom?

So firstly you need a recovery image (TWRP, PBRP, OF, Batik Recovery) to replace MIUI Recovery. flash it via fastboot with adb (you can do it right?).
After that reboot and push the button to recovery and remember make backup firstly or you can ignore it and yeah do it own your risk.
wipe or advanced wipe Cache, Data, System, Dalvik, Vendor.
and then install the CUSROM, and GApps.
and yeah only that to install CUSROM i know

Can't flash stable TWRP

So, i tried to install a custom ROM on my Redmi Note 8 pro (begonia model).
I used a LR-TWRP somewhere from this forum (I can link it later, currently on mobile),
It boots, but if I try to install MIUI 12.5, it just bootloops (not system, recovery), rooting bricks the phone (restored with SP FLASH).
Installing preloaded, lk and lk2 (from megathread) kinda bricks the phone, I can boot to MIUI, but can't to fastboot and recovery. (I also restored it)
Installing Pixel Experience 11 (my target ROM is Pixel Experience 12, but I would need to update MIUI, which breaks TWRP) also bricks the phone.
I am currently on MIUI 10, Android 9.
What can I do?
Sorry for my English.

Your TWRP version is incompatible. Flash the Android 11/12 version of TWRP after you flash the ROM.
MIUI 12.5 A11:https://sourceforge.net/projects/be...rp-3.5.2_11-0-UNOFFICIAL-begonia.img/download
A12:https://sourceforge.net/projects/be...ic/Dynamic-TWRP-Begonia-23-12-21.img/download

Okay, so i installed MIUI 12.5 and Begonia Recovery Project.
Pixel Experience 11 Plus works fine, but i can't install the 12 one.
It shows ERROR 1,
and assert failed: update_dynamic_partitions(package_extract_file("dynamic_partitions_op_list"))
From other threads, I formatted data and install latest MIUI (12.5.7), but it still errors.
Sorry for not replying, it was a night time in my country

Begonia Recovery Project is based on Android 10 version of TWRP.
Flash the latest MIUI using fastboot then flash this version of TWRP:https://sourceforge.net/projects/be...ic/Dynamic-TWRP-Begonia-23-12-21.img/download
Then sideload or direct install the zip and format data.
The guide says don't worry about red line errors.
