Ok, so here is the thing. I know a little bit about rooting & custom roms as I rooted & installed custom roms on my previous phone. Some days ago, I unlocked xiaomi phones bootloader, installed twrp, tried to flash rom but no luck. It showed "update process ended with error 7", but that is not the issue here. As I mentioned i flashed custom roms on my previous phone, that same phone I tried flashing custom roms agaim, but I get that error "updated process ended with error 7" And then I tried to flash custom rom on my lg g3, the same error appears again. This makes me suspicious, what am I doing wrong? Whats the the problem? I searched on the net for this error, it showed me, if you install unsupported rom then this message apppears, but I am not installing any unsupported roms, then why is this error keep showing on my every phone??
i think you are using the wrong TWRP for it, there is only one working TWRP Version for the A2 Lite at this moment and it's offains version
if u flash a custom for the first time on the a2 lite, it is a bit more complicate than any other device, so be careful what are you doing.
here is a good instruction for it

the same. stick to the offain 3.3.0-0 .. dont use any other version. every custom rom you get here will work with it.

Hi everyone
I have tried flashing a custom ROM. TWRP3.3.1 is installed and therefore bootloader unlocked. I tried flashing resurrection remix as per this guide:
1)Full wipe (system,data,vendor, dalvik,cache,internal storage) + format data.
2)Flash No-verity-opt patch + xiaomu.eu developer on Oreo or xiaomi.eu 10.2.1 Stable
3)Factory reset
4)Reboot to recovery
5)Flash Resurrected Kernel v3.3
6)Flash POST-sGSI_3_v0.6 .zip
7)Flash RR System.img
8)Flash Magisk 18.0 (if you get an error that /vendor can't be mounted then just reboot recovery and flash Magisk again)
9)Reboot to system
10)Setup system
11)Reboot to recovery
12)Flash BiTGApps or OpenGapps + Magisk 18.0
13)Reboot to system
Although I used Kernel 5.1 PIE
Before this attempt I tried Havoc and I tried lineage and it's always the same... flashing the system.img takes only seconds and declares success. Then the boot screen of the respective ROM stays forever.
I just flashed xiaomi.eu ROM 10.2.1 and that boots fine.
What am I missing here?
Thanks!
Also I don't seem to have anti rollback protection enabled (or I guess I would have bricked the phone anyway by now):
getvar:anti FAILED (remote: GetVar Variable Not found)
Looks like nobody has this phone seeing as there is no official custom ROM development... interesting considering the thread about the 6GB version has 13k views....

Custom Rom development seems to have started very recently after the statement of XIAOMI that there will not be a MAX 4 this year.
But from what I've seen so far, most people are on some kind of MIUI Custom Rom and only a few went the route of trying a more AOSP like Custom Rom.
Regarding your statement that you don's seem to have Anti Rollback Protection, I am 100% sure this is wrong. I've seen threads about that topic that asked why they can't get the ARP value anymore with the method you used and if I recall correctly there was a different way of doing it.
Cheers
I just managed to solve my issues.
I installed the patched TWRP for Nitrogen https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max-3/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-3-1-nitrogen-t3866084
Interestingly enough, installing a custom ROM image still only takes about ten seconds or so. But now the stuff actually boots.
The Xiaomi.eu ROM that Tradingshenzhen packaged in their tutorial does not have ARB yet. I believe the latest ROMs do.
Look inside your ROM for antiroll the same say to me not found but the beta stock ROM have the 4. This is stopping me to do anything on this phone. Never buy xiaomi again. They add this stupid antiroll they stop betas they make always year after year the phones cheaper.. I mean they remove custom led rgb only white then they make it so small you can't see it. To have the phones cheap they go down on quality
hello guys i have a problem, after bootloping the device when trying to instal android 10, i flashed stock rom through offical xiaomi flash tool and everything seems to be ok, but neither sensor on device is not working like proximity, ambient light, accelerometar etc. I installed cpu-z app and when navigating to sensors tab neither sensor i showing. I hope you guys know how to fix it. Thanks!
have you tryed to install 10 GSI version?
if so it is reccomended to flash first the "repartition to stock" script (its there in the comments) before using EDL mode to flash back stock. if i remember correctly thats a way to go.
also if i may ask, what seemed to be a problem with 10 install for you? maybe we can help. i was also scratching my head at first but once you get a hold of how partitions work on a2l, its really easy.
for GSI 10, i did not even bother to install twrp, i just booted it, installed the script and installed the ROM. twrp got installed trough installation for later stuffs. its EZ

but it is strange that everything wokrs well except sensors.
Do you have some video tutorial how to flash everything stock from partitions to rom, i dont want anything custom, that was my mistake
i do, but you gotta tell me what rom did you try to flash before so we can know where to start. GSI or?
This info is for people who are finding it difficult to install a custom ROM or who are just waiting for the right time to experiment. This method is fail-safe. Any support needed, I am here to help .
To start with:
I unlocked my RM5P bootloader was able to install custom recovery and even root my phone, but I was not able to install a custom ROM ----- till yesterday night (I am on EVO X now).
Failed attempts:
I was able to downgrade to RMX1971EX_11_OTA_0170 with stock recovery but after loading the ROM, I cannot load into FASTBOOT.. Again to get into fastboot, I needed to upgrade to CO1 (Android 10).
Then from fastboot mode, I tried installing ROM (very old version) thus maintaining the TWRP and Fastboot.
I tried to install custom ROM, it gave me error 7. This error is because the Firmware was too old for the custom ROM to be installed.
Success:
I then installed color os V 170 from TWRP (it can decrypt OZIP files-it will covert that to zip and install). Used just common sense, as all custom ROMs at present need color os (specifically version ...170), so after installing ROM using TWRP and staying in the recovery (because if I load ROM now, I will lose FB and TWRP), I Dirty Flashed (just to be on the safe side) custom ROM (EVO X) , and then format data (might still give you error, there is a workaround) and restart. That's it.
I am in Evolution X latest build.
ADVICE:
Whatever experiments you want to do on your mobile, do it while you are in WARRANTY (after confirming you have your service center nearby and working). If your phone ends up bricked (like me-before) get it fixed free of cost. BECOME A PRO WITHIN THE WARRANTY PERIOD.
Oh well that's extremely nice of you and useful. You're helping the community of this device a great deal with your informational and technical guides. I can safely thank you in the name of all users.
Though I'm feeling kind of sorry and bad for you. You really weren't able to use custom ROMs till 14th of May? Geez... That must've been horrible. I'm a fan of pure and stock like, simple, well modable/shapeable Android since I was a kid and got my Samsung Galaxy phone with Android 2.1 back in 2009. Since then I can't stand any limitation brought by Android skins like Miui or Color OS. I was on GSI ROM on the third day of having my Realme Q back in October of 2019. Not like warranty did count anything since there's no Realme in Hungary and it was an import device from AliExpress. So many testing and experience, lots of adventure. Can't even imagine what would I have done if I couldn't get rid of COS till now. Even the thought is maddening to me ? You've got my respect.

I appreciate your time and message.
I have only dared once in my lifetime to experiment on a tablet i bought online on the first day, that time i restored it with another rom, and even replaced that gadget after 2 days for another one because it didn't have multi touch, many years ago.
With realme, i was kind of scared to experiment till some months back and i even had to visit service centre thrice to restore. Now i have learned a bit on how we can BRICK our phone.
One important thing i learned is, STOCK rom is the best, and i am back on it.
Thank you.

Correct. I had only twrp and no bootloader after installing custom ROM. Please avoid DIRTY FLASHING.
Gud luck.

Avoid installing custom roms using duty flash, i mean the second custom rom should be done as clean install. I said that specifically because, i tried three roms in a span of 1 hour, the third duty flash (derpfest rom) gave me indefinite boot. Had to go to service centre because phone was not bootng to twrp.
I went back to custom rom, Android 10 to get BL back. Anyways, i was not that satisfied with the present custom roms available.
But that's me, you can go ahead and try roms.

I suggest you check this with another derpfest user, please. I never got to boot to derpfest.
I downloaded Evolution X 4.7 Rom zip file and followed the instructions given in thread to flash zip file. But after flashing when I tried to reboot in system, it gave me a message on swipe screen that OS is not installed but still I swiped to boot in system. My device tried to boot a couple of time and ended up in fastboot again. Fortunately I had already made backup so I restored my backup.
As per your post I should have flashed color os 6 ozip file with twrp before flashing evox rom.
Every thing ok.i think you are not flash Vebeta after flash recovery.
Hey guys i need help i forgot to back up my rom so my phone is unusable right now haha. So basically I tried 2 pixel experience custom rom for my mi a2 lite but I keep getting the error code 7 (I believe) i forgot the full details sorry. So I just tried LineageOS and now I'm getting error code 1 'SIgnature mismatch 'kDownloadMetadataSignatureMismatch'. Pls helppp tyy
Edit: Its my first time flashing but I believe I followed the steps properly
Use The offain twrp, the official twrp doesn't work https://androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=291011
By the way, i'm using havoc os right now, it's like pixel experience plus but way better, try the one that comes with gapps built in https://sourceforge.net/projects/havoc-os/files/daisy/
Today I decided to install TWRP with CR Droid. Strangely though, after installing CR Droid and loading the ROM once, it stopped booting. Then, I decided to try and reinstall thinking that may solve the problem. Once I thought the OS install was complete, TWRP came up with a message saying "there is no OS installed". Strangely, no OS is installed even though I'd gone through the same steps.
Now the really big issue is that I cannot get my internal storage to mount properly. It keeps showing 0mb. I have followed the steps of changing from ext2 to ext4 and although it shows with the correct storage size within TWRP, when I try to send anything to my internal storage from Windows, it fails to do so and when I check the storage size via properties on Windows, it is unable to detect the size of the storage.
I'm totally stuck as I am unable to send another OS to my phone now. Can anyone please help me?
It just happened to me. Solution was to use MiFlash and fastboot install MIUI back.
After installing, boot it once then you're ready to flash your custom ROM.
That's great info thanks so much Chrisparkerrr!
Did you decide to try again with TWRP? I'm unsure whether to do so or not. I don't think it officially support Poco F3 which I guess is the issue?

TWRP for Poco F3 is indeed buggy and not officially supported by TeamWin yet. You could give TWRP another try and might succeed in flashing crDroid. TWRP's unreliable though, honestly.
I personally also tried crDroid and failed to flash it multiple times. I got it working in the end, but forgot how. I tried a lot of Custom ROMs. For most of them their Fastboot versions would succeed to flash 1 out of 4 times, meanwhile I can't flash their Recovery versions at all, as TWRP shows a useless error, "Error 7" or whatever number.
The only Custom ROMs I was able to flash through TWRP were Xiaomi.eu and ArrowOS.

Try different twrp , one that ends with aliothin should work ? Idk
I had error 7 when installing miui which means that the file that's being flashed reports as not compatible w the phone ? That was on nebrassy twrp , I tried the other twrp and the error was gone.
But then again I had cases where nebrassy twrp was the one to save the day ... So download both , sit by your PC and see which one works - If the phone fails to boot after wiping data it's time to flash w mi flash as the partitions get broken after wipe , if the system boots properly it then repairs partitions but if it doesn't then only mi flash works...

Try roms with fastboot installation. Coz recovery has many errors. I faced the same problem and it caused me trouble too.
Just keep a Xiaomi.eu fastboot rom with you. Any time you face the problem fastboot the eu rom and try again

Sir, I've apparently have the same problem., TWRP no system etc. With MiFlash, how long it takes you too flash the new Stock ROM? I did and it stuck on Super.img with progress 100%. Is this really stuck or I need to wait longer?

It was longer, about 10-20 min and still stuck there. Gonna try to use the official Mi Flash, maybe the app isn't compatible for the newest devices.
