Flashing latest builds of most ROMs (ones which need pie firmware) give error 7: with message 'you need to have firmware V10.3.1.PIEMIXM or above as prerequisite to flash this rom'
Since I am on anti-rollback-3, i downloaded and flashed the non-arb version of V10.3.1.PIEMIXM firmware from the stable firmware list, but flashing the rom still gives the same error.
I tried using TWRP 3.3.1 Official, i am using redmi note 5 pro (indian version). Can anyone tell me what am i doing wrong?

Is there no way to get pie firmware without getting to anti 4?
You need recovery compatible with Pie FW. Here is unofficial TWRP 3.3.1-1 working fine with Pie FW.

Which twrp version are you using?
You shouldn't need to be flashing DM verity zips or anything
Literally just download and fastboot flash the very latest official twrp for sagit and use that...
Hello.
I want to flash latest firmware, running Syberia ROM, but I want to know what are the differences between: FW, FW-less and FW-non-arb?
Thanks.
If you are still anti rollback (arb) 3, installing the latest firmware (FW) will update your bootloader, thus you will have arb 4.
Fw less roms come without the firmware. since there is no firmware, no way to trigger ARB.
Fw-non-arb are firmware files without the bootloader part, again no bootloader so arb will not be triggered.

Since 8.12.27 is the newest rom available you can install only FW as this would not trigger ARB (Both 9.6.4.0 and 8.12.27 are ARB4)
Zui 2.5 confirmed that it is necessary to install roms with kernel 4.4, it does not need zui 3.5 (in my case I had already installed zui 2.5 indiana as my rom and I decided to go for custom roms and today I use them with kernel 4.4 without having to install 3.5 zui per qpst)
I haven't unlocked my device yet.. but I'm planning to flash custom rom. currently I'm using zui 2.5 the official one. So you are saying that I can just 1)unlock my device 2) flash twrp and flash the latest version of aex (pie) without flashing zui 3.5/3.7 via qpst??.. I know your post says it but did you face any problem???.. (I'm new to this)..

Friend I just left the aex pie to na bootleggers. Yes you just need to unblock the bootloader and install twrp as a recovery, after that you need to do the following: First install the factory, then watch the twrp treble (reinstall back to twrp) and install rom and gapps and what you want

How many errors etc ... none so far. You have to have zui 2.5 Indian to do what I did!
I left aex pie because there is a bug in the download to download anything has to be completely on the page for example I want to download a game and I can not leave it in the background and I can not let the screen erase because the download pauses
If you want to install only nougat based custom roms, zui 2.5 indian baseband is fine. But if you want to use oreo or pie roms, you need to flash at least zui 3.5. I've used oreo roms on zui 2.5 baseband and it gives you Little glitches here and there and offline charging doesn't work.

Hi
Question.
I made my own 9.3.28 rom using OSDN script. https://github.com/XiaomiFirmwareUpdater/xiaomi-flashable-firmware-creator.py/releases
My Whyred has ARB 3 (Fastboot getvar anti). Since the beginning, i only flashed 8.1 firmware-less roms using TWRP.
I saw Whyred has Pie update. Will it mess my Whyred if i directly flash Pie firmware less rom ?
I did it on my Platina (Mi 8 Lite), and i had bootloop during 1st boot (crashing processus).
Platina is not affected by ARB. Then i took Fastboot Pie rom and flashed it, reinstalled latest Pie TWRP, magisk root, and everything's ok.
If i crash my Whyred with firmware-less Pie zip, i also need to reflash fastboot Pie rom, and kill my virgin ARB ?
So, it's impossible to update to Pie without destroying ARB 3 ?
So, i'm stuck on 8.1 ?
Use non arb FW update
There's pie beta firmware (9.3.28)
https://osdn.net/projects/xiaomifirmwareupdater/storage/non-arb/Developer/9.3.28/whyred/
Does using non-arb FW really works for updating from oreo to pie to maintain ARB 3?
because it didn't works for me (miui pie global stable with fwless rom & non-arb made using https://github.com/XiaomiFirmwareUpdater/xiaomi-flashable-firmware-creator.py/releases )
I experimenting on this but got bricked because unproper recovery installed.
If you want to experiment, make sure to install proper recovery and disable OTA survival.
Hello friends
I'm trying to flash custom Q roms in TWRP on my S9 (SM-G960F), but have received the same error message for any Q rom:
ERROR:
Vendor image on the device
is NOT compatible
Expected Android 10 vendor
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I've only been able to successfully flash P roms, namely the Pie-based LightRom.
Based on the error message, it seems I need to update the firmware to Q before installing custom Q roms?
I've also seen some roms note installation requirements like "ROM Firmware Required: OneUI 2.x", which is new to me (have not seen a TW/OneUI ver requirement for roms I've used on S4, S7, N8).
May I ask someone to explain the steps required to install Q roms (eg, Havoc-OS) coming from P firmware? There seems to be some assumptions in most install instructions I'm not aware of, maybe since I am on older FW. (I am asking here, since I did not find instructions in any of the Q roms I tried)
So far, all I have done to the phone since unboxing it was to install TWRP 3.4.0, following the official guide for Exynos S9.
I am guessing I need to download latest official firmware image from sammobile or something for my device, and flash it in Odin. Is this correct?
If so, can someone explain the steps so that I can have latest FW for my device while maintaining TWRP and not bricking the device?
Thank you for your help

UPDATE:
I installed latest firmware from Sammobile, flashed it through Odin following their instructions, reinstalled TWRP, and am now able to flash Q roms.
For those who have stock rom < Q, I would suggest updating firmware through OTA before flashing TWRP. If you cannot OTA, download the latest firmware from Sammobile and flash it through Odin following their instructions, then flash TWRP, then you can flash Q roms.
So:
Update firmware through OTA or via Odin with latest firmware from Sammobile.
Flash TWRP
Flash whatever rom you want.
