how do I safely update my MiUI 10 beta ROM? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

I'm on global beta, unlocked device with magisk and custom recovery, how do I update to latest beta without messing anything up?
do I download the incremental update and flash it in recovery or do I have to install the full rom again? in that case, do I need to format everything or is it just like a custom rom (flash ROM and clean only caches)?
thanks

If you are using orange fox recovery then you can download incremental update and flash it without wiping any data
If you are using any other custom recovery then download full beta ROM package and flash it.
You may need to reflash magisk after flashing miui rom

Root MIUI and Flashing AOSP

So I have 2 questions:
1- how to root MIUI? Magisk work fine? Just flash it through TWRP? I used Magisk in a Nexus 6P with stock rom, don't know if it's the same with MIUI.
2- I see that there's some AOSP roms, flashing those roms is just copy the rom and gapps to the internal memory and flash Through TWRP normally?
Thanks.
1. Yes
2. Yep. Of course you will have to wipe in advance. Firmware flashing is also recommended. All info is in the XDA thread's of the roms..
So flash the lastest firmware then the rom right?

Yep, update to the latest miui first, then you're good to go.
The best thing before installing a custom rom is to format your data completely and then reboot into recovery mode
So, using the lastest MIUI, formated data on TWRP and flashing the lastest Lineage with Open Gapps, this happend: ROM flashed, Splash screen then the phone rebooted and go right to TWRP. Tried RR Rom from Andy personal build but the gapps are giving me force closed on Google Service.
Any ideas?

Questions about upgrading 5T from 5.1.1 to 5.1.3

Hey. I have a rooted with TWRP installed OnePlus 5T on OOS v5.1.1
I've been receiving the 5.1.3 upgrade for a while now and have decided to update. Can i dirty flash the package or do i need to wipe system and data? I'm guessing the root will not be retained and i will have to root again but will the TWRP recovery stay intact? Thanks for your answers
I guess you would be able dirty flash.
You have to flash the twrp and magisk root again. If you are going to flash latest Open Beta 11, you have to flash Beta 10 before to retain data.

I have switched from 5.1.3 to beta11 like;
1- download the rom you want to install from oneplus site.
2- also download the stock recovery image from oneplus site.
3- put both files into the phone.
4- flash the stock recovery you downloaded.
5- boot into stock recovery and install the downloaded rom without wiping or formating anything.
6- enjoy your new rom with all your apps and data.
After the above steps you can install custom recovery and magisk again.
I also highly recommend to take a full backup of your phone .

Why was stock recovery flashed? Can the Rom not be installed using TWRP?

Well, i always got an error with twrp. No OS installed or something like that. Tried also a dirty flash with twrp and phone was not able to boot. So i found the way with stock recovery.

Rom can be flashed with Blu Spark treble TWRP V8.78not normal TWRP. And after you flash reboot to recovery then flash magisk 15.3 and no verity V2 or version 3 if your not encrypted either work, I used V2 just fine.
If you try to flash magisk right after rom it will probably give you an error. Reboot only to recovery BEFORE letting the rom boot or you loose recovery, then magisk will flash, 15.3 is the least grievous version after a successful boot upgrading to 16.4 is easy.
16.6 has been giving people grief also.
