Unable to Install any custom rom. - Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers

So I've been following DavidRocher's tutorial to install a custom rom (the one that's linked around here the most), I've followed it before installing his RR official rom but as the room started showing a lot of issues, I decided to wipe everything and install something a little more stable such as lineage. I didn't care for Gcam or etc so I wouldn't have minded not having those at all.
However, even after following these steps now once again, even flashing the stock rom as asked for a brand new, clean install, twrp (offain) is hitting me with Error 1s on *any* custom rom that I try installing. I can seemingly flash the stock rom without any issues, but anything else and it's a solid no from TWRP.
Am I missing something?
The error itself is Error applying update: 28 (ErrorCode:: kDownloadOperationExecutionError) Updater process ended with Error: 1 error installing zip file.
I've been wiping, booting, rebooting, re-installing the custom rom, checking the unlocked bootloader and I have had no progress at all. I do not know why this is happening, could anyone please help me?

So, I found out that the -only- rom I can install is the one I originally installed, DavidRocher's official RR which seems to be no longer maintained. Which is also the rom I'm trying to get rid of... This doesn't sem to make any sense, does anyone have -any advice- at all?

Steps followed were:
Flashing stock daisy_global_images_V10.0.3.0.PDLMIXM_9.0 (flash_all.bat from bigota.d.miui.com/V10.0.3.0.PDLMIXM/daisy_global_images_V10.0.3.0.PDLMIXM_20190114.0000.00_9.0_e8d8d4a6d0.tgz)
Turning the phone off after it booted successfully;
Turning it on in fastboot;
Booting offain's twrp-daisy-3.3.0-0-offain.img through fastboot (fastboot boot twrp-daisy-3.3.0-0-offain.img);
No password entered;
Format Data;
Pushing custom rom & twrp;
Attempting to flash custom rom in any of the slots. At this point, it fails and gives me the error on any rom except the official Resurrection Remix rom from DavidRocher, which I can successfully install alongside twrp and force encryption disabler, change slots, install gapps and magisk and boot.
*Any* other rom just fails with that specific error code.

Try after to reboot to recovery, before of doing nothing or flash anything:
- Flash the TWRP installer.
- Then Wipe cache/dalvik, system and data
- Then Format data.
- Then change slot and reboot to recovery again.
- Now try to follow the usual steps by flashing rom, TWRP, changing slot, etc.
- If didn´t work change the place where it is the rom, extSDCard instead of internal memory or instead adb sideload.

Attempted the following steps and adb sideload, error apparently still persists, sadly. This is just... So weird. It doesn't make any sense at all, maybe the official RR altered the partition sizes in some manner? I tried resizing/repairing them through TWRP and it also didn't change anything... ****.

The message through TWRP still the same? Try erasing boot partition where is allocated TWRP through
Code:
fastboot erase boot
then boot to offain TWRP, flash other recovery like Orange and see if this recovery can flash the rom and later flash again TWRP through Orange I don´t think that RR did that so I flashed both versions on my device and I don´t have this issue but if you sometime resized your partition I don´t guess that TWRP can restore it well, you could resize it again through the same method.

I guess I'll try it with orange when I have a little more time then.. Spent the last 10-12 hours trying different procedures with twrp and they were pretty fruitless... It's still so weird, I'm definitely not new to flashing roms, I've done it so many times in the past and this is the very first time I get this sort of behavior. I'll update this once I try out OrangeFox.

hi!
your method has always worked for me, but this time I always get error 1.
I tried to install the pixel experience and lineage and nothing works, can you help me?

Tried flashing Lineage OS but ended up stuck in a boot loop.

I unlocked the bootloader following Motorolas steps. I then flashed the latest version of TWRP avaiable on the development forum and then flashed Lineage OS + the root zip they provide and gapps. I couldn't figure out how to get out of the bootloop so I've since gone back to stock. Any idea what I was missing?
TWRP:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...recovery-unofficial-twrp-moto-z-play-t3495629
Lineage:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/development/rom-unofficial-cyanogenmod-14-1-t3495644
Did you read the notices and entries on the Linage last pages of the thread that people are having it fail on the install, the latest release? That would be a clue...
I even tried flashing Pure Nexus but that too was stuck on a loop. I left it for about 10 minutes as it was loading. :/
I did the same thing like you on my first attempt, on my second I was able to install Lineage OS successfully. I'll provide the steps I did.
First attempt steps:
1. Unlocking the bootloader using Motorola website
2. Installing TWRP from the same link in your post.
At that point I tried booting the phone, but the phone was booting to TWRP only, tried wiping, format data from TWRP with no luck.
3. From TWRP flashed Lineage OS zip file and GAPPS nano package (the latest version of TWRP is able to see SD card).
At that point I was able to to boot LOS only after executing "fastboot erase user data". Doing the same from within TWRP was not doing the job. The problem was that after each reboot the phone was getting into bootloop again and "fastboot erase userdata" was necessary.
4. At that point I noticed that TWRP thread starts with warning that you have to install a patcher to disable this "verity" feature of the bootloader may be. And I installed the patcher "Verity_FE_patcher.zip"
The patcher didn't fix the issue and went back to stock Nougat using the guide below:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/how-to/moto-z-play-reteu-firmware-otas-t3557917
First I tried "flashall.bat" , but it didn't wor.k and I flashed all the files manually using the guide . The phone booted normally and I updated it with one OTA update.
Second attempt steps:
1. I wanted to install the verity patcher before anything else and I boot TWRP 3.1.0.1 without flashing it. It booted normally and I realized that the SD card was formated and the patcher zip file is not there. I reboot the system and the phone got in bootloops again even the TWRP was not installed. I coppied the patcher zip, LOS zip, GAPPS zip on SD card . I tried to boot (without flashing) TWRP again, but for some reason TWRP was not able to boot.
2. I flashed TWRP
3. Booted TWRP and flashed verity patcher.
4. Wiped from TWRP and boot the system
At that point I was able to boot the stock firmware with TWRP installed and I was able to restart the phone normally.
5. Flashed LOS and nano GAPPS
Now everything seems to work properly.
Hope this will help.
Thanks. I'll give this a shot tonight. Our first attempts sound very alike.

Strange issue with mi5s not booting flashed rom

Hi,
My Mi5s was in a bootloop between recovery mode and Mi logo.
I was able to get to fastboot via cmd, phone is unlocked, and I also flashed TWRP, then Vol + and power to load TWRP.
From there Ive tried installing multiple roms, but each time I reboot system it goes back into TWRP.
I've tried many ways of installing new roms, like wiping all data/factory reset/formatting before flashing supersu + lineage os or cm13 and then gapps, after flashing it says flash was successul...
I've also been able to use xiaomiflash to flash official latest global stable which puts phone back into bootloop.
I also flashed latest chinese dev which loads Mi Recovery 3.0, from there I'm still unable to install the rom, after showing the rom loading, just a few seconds in, the phone reboots.
Quite confused and unsure of what to do now... New to forum, not sure where to post this.

I had the same issue when I first installed some ROMs for this phone and it got me really confused since I was doing everything right. This is what worked for me
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE OFFICIAL TWRP FIRST BEFORE ANYTHING
Go into fastboot and type
fastboot format userdata
Go back to TWRP and go into wipe/advanced wipe.
Select data and then select repair or change partition
Then go into change filesystem and choose either F2FS or ext4. If one gives an error try the other one, after that format to which ever
If you're on AOSP/LOS ROMs I'd recommend F2FS since its a bit faster and makes your storage last way longer

tried official twrp 3.1.1-0, did these steps only, maybe I've missed something:
installed twrp 3.1.1-0 then went into fastboot and typed fastboot format userdata
rebooted into TWRP, i was promted whether to keep system read only, I tried first swiping to allow mods, and also keep read only then proceeded:
changed data to F2FS (didn't wipe or factory reset anything else)
rebooted system
copied lineage and gapps zip files to phone
installed latest lineage then gapps 7.1 arm64
rebooted system, back into twrp

[SOLVED] HELP! i'm stuck in a boot loop! :(

my flashing history:
i was on audax (oos based nougat rom) with blu spark kernel before, then went to official ob1, then back to audax, then back to stock oos nougat and now i flashed audax and after clean flashing it, it just wont boot up.
when i try to boot up i see the 1+ logo but then it reboots to recovery. i also tried flashing stock nougat again and also flashed stock kernel manually but it also doesnt work.
i always do:
1. wipe system/dalvic/cache/data
2. install ROM
3. wipe dalvik/cache
4. flash magisk (also tried without flashing magisk)
5. reboot
i've been looking on the interwebs all day but nothing worked.. help pls :/
EDIT: problem was blu spark twrp. Maybe installing Oreo ****ed it up. I flashed codeworkx newest twrp universal build and now Im able to boot again!! Btw: I also found that magisk 15.0 prohibits a proper boot up and results in a boot loop. version 15.2, however, does the trick!
when it auto reboot to recovery, formate data
When s**t happens, it is wise to start everything from scratch:
-boot in fastboot mode and flash stock recovery with "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (rename recovery.img with your recovery filename), then reboot recovery and select english, advanced, adb sideload;
-flash stock OS with "adb sideload rom.zip" (rename rom.zip with your Oxygen OS filename).
Procedure will require some minute because of the large file size. Remember to save all your data on internal storage first!
I advice you to flash original recovery because often sideloading in TWRP leads to some error.
Your phone will boot again... after that you may reflash TWRP, Magisk etc
I had the same issue. Bootloop and jumb into recovery by itself. You have to flash magisk 15.2 via recovery and will be boot.

He says that it occurs even without Magisk... I had a similar trouble once, and the only way to solve it was the procedure I wrote above...

Always boot into recovery mode

Today I wanted to upgrade to OOS 5.1.1. But after flashing and reboot, my 5t went into recovery mode again. Then after that, the phone always reboot into recovery mode.
I tried flash stock recovery, blue spark recovery, tried to flash oos 5.0.4, none works.
What can I do to save my 5T? TIA.
I noticed that I have this error in my twrp codeworkx recovery:
failed to mount /vendor (invalid argument)
This happened to mine as well. I did a full wipe and flashed the stock recovery and then flashed the most recent Stock OOS.
What do you mean by a full wipe?
cache+davlink+system+data? I did.
Internal storage needs to be wiped too?

First thing, the error about /vendor in TWRP can be ignored because you will not have that partition if you have not installed a trebelized ROM (MOKEE treble rom).
Next is your issue:
There are two approaches I can Think of:
Approach 1) - Download official full rom from this thread
- Boot into TWRP and copy this ROM to your phone
- Wipe Clean (standard TWRP clean flash step) keeping internal storage intact
- Install ROM and try to boot.
- Sometimes it will boot back into recovery, you can try to install again.
- If it boots up fine, then follow this guide to install TWRP correctly again.
- If it didnt boot up and you are ok to wipe everything, Boot into TWRP
- Wipe Everything (you will lose all data, photos everything)
- Boot back into twrp
- Now follow install steps again.
Approach 2) if 1 didnt work:
- use this guide to unbrick your device
- You can then ROOT, install recovery etc by following this thread
I have recently experienced this problem, there was little help and finally I have to wipe all data on the phone. It was a pain in the ass and i hope you wont have to go through it !
Did many rounds of flashing of recovery and rom, tried many combinations. It eventually worked.
While I am not 100% sure, i think what makes it work is to use compatible recovery (8.0 or 8.1) with rom, and wipe both cache, system, and data after (?) flashing.
Thanks!

What TWRP were you using? Had basically the same problem with "twrp-3.2.1-x_blu_spark_v8.74_treble-op5_op5t.img", flashed an older version and it worked fine.
Seeing "failed to mount /vendor (invalid argument)" as you mentioned happened to me too. I think it means it's only for treble compatible ROMs.
if you were rooted with magisk, you have to flash the magisk uninstaller before flash the rom.
I had the same problem after flashing XXXnolimits rom (bluespark recovery 8.73). I just power off the phone pressing the power button for a while (10-20 seconds). It worked for me and the rom was succesfully flashed. Hope this help for the future.
i will keep this in mind and will try it next time when we have an update! Thanks.

HELP! Phone only boots into recovery after fresh install

I have now tried to install the latest RR and Omnirom builds and the problem remains the same.
I've been very particular about wiping data before the installs.
Here is what I have done,
Performed data wipe by typing "yes" when requested. Used advance wipe to wipe everything.
Installed Rom, Stock Gapps and Magisk zip files.
Wiped Cache.
Reboot
The phone will not boot and only returns to recovery.
Can anyone help?
Here is my TWRP log if this helps - https://pastebin.com/ghpXkt3t
Not sure if this is relevant, but every time I try to flash a ROM it always fails on the first attempts and needs a second try to succeed.

If you only get to the mi logo and not the ROM boot screen then format data "yes 3-4 times in a row.
If that doesn't work then wipe the system and data and retry
I was only getting the Mi logo, so I did the format data 4 times in a row and rebooted.
I then saw the Omnirom logo for the first time!
unfortunately 2 seconds later I'm back in TWRP.
I have now tried for the 5th time to perform a fresh install.
Formatting data multiple times, wiping system and data multiple times.
The result is the same.
I see a flicker of the Omnirom logo and I get booted back into recovery.

Please try this:
1. Wipe: Dalvik / Art Cache; System; Data; Cache;
2. Go back to main TWRP screen and install the rom, install Google Apps, install "addonsu-15.1-arm64-signed.zip" (in case of Lineage) or the latest Magisk (in case of other rom)
3. Wipe Cache
4. Reboot
If this doesn't work and the device restarts in twrp, then pls download the twrp flashable Xiaomi rom from here: http://en.miui.com/download-334.html
1. Wipe: Dalvik / Art Cache; System; Data; Cache
2. Go back to main twrp screen and install the Xiaomi rom. Do not reboot.
3. Go back to main twrp screen and Wipe: Dalvik / Art Cache; System; Data; Cache
4. Go back to main twrp screen and install the rom (Lineage or OMNI or RR), install Google Apps, install "addonsu-15.1-arm64-signed.zip" (in case of Lineage) or the latest Magisk (in case of other rom)
5. Wipe Cache
6. Reboot
I had the same problem and this method worked for me, maybe it will work for you too. :fingers-crossed:
If it doesn't then maybe you have to start from zero and flash the original Xiaomi rom in fastboot mode (rom here: http://en.miui.com/a-234.html) via MIUI ROM Flashing Tool, unlock bootloader (bootloader might relock), flash twrp and then flash new custom rom.
No idea what happened but I have the same issue atm.
I was running a recent Omnirom for a few weeks. System got unstable, so decided to flash the newest version. Got me stuck in a bootloop. I tried everything, short of relocking and unlocking the bootloader.
- Full wipe, including storage
- Reflash Global Dev through TWRP.
- Flash stock Global Dev over flashboot
- Flash Omni, wipe, flash omni again.
All the same. Global Dev runs, all AOSP roms just go into bootloop. No idea what went wrong, I've flashed tens of custom roms over the past months without issues.

Then maybe the right solution to get out of bootloops would be to start from zero and flash the original Xiaomi rom in fastboot mode (rom here: http://en.miui.com/a-234.html) via MIUI ROM Flashing Tool, unlock bootloader (as bootloader will relock), flash twrp, do a full wipe and then flash new custom rom.

I have reflashed the original Xiaomi ROM (running it atm ) using the official Xiaomi Flash Tool.
I just did not relock my bootloader doing that (there's an option to leave it unlocked). Will relocking and then unlocking the bootloader really make a difference?

Not really. You ev. save yourself a waiting time of 72h....
Not sure what happened. I set up MIUI completely. Then, getting frustrated after using it for 10 minutes, decided to try one more time. Same thing.
1) Fastboot flash TWRP.
2) Wipe
3) Flash Rom
4) Flash GAPPS
Worked this time. No idea what went wrong the first 4 times. Only difference is that I went through the trouble to set up the entire phone this last time before trying again.
Anyhoo, so if anyone has the same issue. Set up phone in MIUI, only then wipe/flash
I got mine working by not installing Magisk. I just flashed Omnirom and GApps and it worked.
After setting up my phone I have since rebooted into recovery and installed Magisk and it works.
Can't system boot after install TWRP, Lazy Magisk on MIX M2S
Hello,
I have this problem, the phone does not boot after TWRP, Lazyflasher and Magisk being installed all fine.
I have re-installed the official ROM on my Xiaomi MI MIX 2S, then TWRP is fine too, then Lazy and Magisk fine.
When I reboot, it is stocked on MI logo whatever I do.
I have tried most of the advise posted but still stocked.
I restarted from scratch, installing again the official ROM, then fastboot flash recovery twrp, then lazy and Magisk, but still stocked on MI.
Thanks a lot in advance
Did you wipe system by any chance.. If you did you need to flash miui again with fastboot.. Or boot into fastboot and type this command 'fastboot format userdata' and press enter. You are facing this issue because of encryption

Gratitude for your reply. What do you mean by "wipe system". I installed the rom and then TWRP etc...
I flashed the ROM again and went into bootloader
I typed "fastboot format userdata" and the system replied:
"/usr/local/bin/mke2fs failed with status 1
mke2fs failed: 1
error: Cannot generate image for userdata
Can you advise.
Thanks a LOT
Did you use the correct rom ? Mi mix 2 or mi mix 2s?

MIUI Global 10.0
Thanks a lot for your advise as always stock, despite different attempts
Did you try to flash using mi tools?

NO, I followed the usual process with ADB tools.
However, I have no boot "stuck at MI logo (bootloop)" problem when I flash the ROM.
It happens only when use TWRP and flash Magisk and Lazy.
Then, when I restart it got stuck at MI Logo.
Do you suggest I try to flash with MI logo (I don't have a PC though).
If so, should I just flash the ROM and then, what about TWRP, should I use MI flash or ADB?
I just want to make sure that the problem is with the ROM instal?
Thanks a LOT
