Hallo Friend!
I am about to test your guide. I think it is most decent among other guides on the net...
Could you please just tell me if it's gonna work on:
Android 6.0.1 MMB29M
MIUI 8.2.1.0 (MBCMIDL) Stable
kernel 3.10.84-perf-gfe86e7b
bootloader UNLOCKED
Is superSU by default included in the TWRP you gave? No need to download it additionally from somewhere?
What about warning about "dm-verity" on official TWRP website?
This device uses dm-verity!
This means that swiping to allow system modifications will prevent you from being able to boot if you are using the stock kernel. In order to bypass dm-verity's boot prevention, you will have to install a kernel that has dm-verity disabled in the fstab.

Should this be any concern that the phone will not boot up again? Should this be disabled first?
Is it better to use the TWRP version you provided (3.0.3.0? not listed on official TWRP website? why?) or the lastest 3.1.0.0?

Ok just two questions then, because I'm not sure what you can't understand. Please explain.
1) What Android, MIUI and kernel did you root?
2) Do you have SuperSu.zip in TWRP 3.0.3 by default? You didn't say anything in your guide about downloading it and from where + what version.

This twrp. Img it's for all the versions but only for mi max. Not the prime . This twrp doesn't contain superSU. If I remember correctly. But if on the TWRP contain the super su. Don't say yes. Just flash it like I saying on the guide. Maybe they upload a newest version. You can use the new. I think I put the official website . I will check it.
Ok thanks for the answer. Please check from where I download SuperSu - which version would be best.
Please tell me your Android, kernel and MIUI version that you rooted.

Waiting to tell me if everything went fine with the installation and the flashing
Hey, tried following Your guide to install a new rom last night. Great guide for noobs like me, but it may be worth renaming the thread to something like "How to flash whatever makes You happy on to Your Mi Max". These instructions seem to work fine regardless of what's being flashed. Great job, mate!
So I finally tried it and it was successful for me as well! But I used the latest version of TWRP (3.1.0) and SuperSu (2.79-20161205). Please add a point in your tutorial to upload SuperSU.zip to the phone first, because out of emotion, I forgot... So I flashed TWRP, booted it and then... ups... no SuperSu So I wanted to reboot the phone to upload SuperSU but since only SuperSU patches dm-verity (the thing I was afraid of the most - I told you before), my phone got into boot-loop and didn't want to start. So I just uploaded SuperSU to a memory card, entered Fastboot Mode again with key-combination, plugged the cable, typed "fastboot reboot-bootloader" command and was again in TWRP to flash SuperSu from my memory card.... ufff.
So I would reedit it a bit:
0. Copy SuperSU.zip to the phone/memory card!
1. Go to Settings-About phone-Find the MIUI VERSION, and tap on it for 5-10 times.
2. Go back to settings, sellect adittional settings. click on Developer options, and select enable
3. Find the option USB Debugging and enable it.
4. Download the TWRP recovery from the link
5. rename the file to 'recovery.img'
6. Move the image to the same file where the ADB was installed ( it should be on Computer-> C: -> Adb )
7. Open the adb folder
8. Press and hold the shift key and right click in the folder
9. click on the option "Open command window here"
10. Boot your device on fastboot mode by turning it off, pressing Power and the Volume Down buttons together, and then connect it with your computer
11. First type this command "fastboot devices" to check if your device is into fastboot mode
12. Enter the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
13. Enter the command "fastboot boot recovery.img" - the phone will get disconnected from your PC automatically
14. Your phone is now in TWRP recovery mode (it takes about 30-60 seconds before FastBoot screen switches into TWRP - wait patiently)
15. select Install Zip and click on 'SuperSu.zip'
16. corfirm the flash
17. reboot your device
18. DONT PANIC IF YOU DEVICE WONT TURN ON. Sometimes need to wait 10-20 secs.
Hey, I just got connected with WiFi and new MIUI 8.2.3.0 MBCMIDL wants to be installed, although the phone is rooted with bootloader unlocked. Is it safe to apply the update? Is it goona remove root so that I have to go over the process again?
So I tried the update. First time it said it failed, second time it downloaded the whole ROM after which it rebooted device and TWRP started doing "something" - I don't know what. After that the phone didn't want to boot, and what's even better didn't want to run recovery (TWRP), instead it went into fastboot. What I had to do was to use MiPhoneDrivers from this topic: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max/how-to/guide-install-global-miui8-root-t3435594 (including MiFlash 2015, because 2016 version didn't want to work properly on my PC) and follow the instruction from official MIUI website to flash from scratch the new ROM MIUI 8.2.3.0 which I did. After that my phone was alive again. I installed TWRP and rooted the phone again. Now I've got MIUI 8.2.30 rooted. :] End of the story so far. My settings left untouched - icons, wallpaper etc. So that would be the way to update MIUI if they prepare a new one.
Is there anyway to root the phone without connecting it to pc?

Thanks for saving me the trouble.
Can someone help with a better method of applying updates?
Will downloading the zip (1.4GB approx) and flashing via TWRP help?
I open this thread because in my opinion the development situation of the various versions of the device is very confusing. I seem to have understood that as regards the unlocking of the bootloader with a working fingerprint, the situation is evolving well only on the China and India version while on the European version nothing moves ... In my modest opinion, Realme deciding to treat those who buy its phones in Europe as users of its lower series devices compared to other areas of the world are wrong because little development leads to a few posts in the various forums and few voices in google searches that each of us does when deciding what to buy ... What do you think you realme device owners in Europe?

Thanks for the information ... What procedure did you use to unlock the bootloader?
I have EU version and what you said is true about Realme but development aspect, most procedures on China version works on EU version but may partially work on Indian version.
I've tweeted Realme EU over 7 times they haven't replied yet.
MY advice for EU and rest of the world is not to buy from Realme if you want active development and OEM response. Otherwise, you can be patient by using Realme OS until there is bigger development for your device

So you too like me, although there is news of the working fingerprint on the EU, believe that it is still not worth unlocking.
I ask it because I repeat following the various treadhs on the forum it gets confused. It is sometimes indicated that the finger epint works and that for example magisk can work in normal mode and not core only ... This would already be a lot, to say yes it could use the viper4android.

I'm doing something wrong because i get bootloop everytime. i tryed to follow the guide with different gsi but no luck. Can you give a quick step how you did it ?
Until the twrp installation everything works perfectly, when I install magisk whether I try to do it from zip recovery or from boot image patched the verification of the integrity of the verity boot sends me to bootloop. You would need the vbmeta, but when I try to flash the vbmeta.img the command:
fastboot flash --disable-verification vbmeta vbmeta.img
On the fastboot cmd he replies that - - disabled verification is unknown ...

I've been there, i think the problem was the adb. I used the Minimal adb and it worked, give it a try
first - check everything with adb prior to installing anything - get most recent version - i'll get v41, check if there is adb connection - by adb devices, if no - troubleshoot as in many threads here on xda until everything works.
at this moment i've got Havoc OS v 3.0 installed, unfortunetely with same limitations as 2.9 - no FP, no lux metering, and weird battery behaviour (sometimes cpu isn't clocked down when screen off - it can be tuned by eg. Kernel adiutor after rooting with magisk flashed from twrp.)
simplified guide:
- unlock bootloader
- flash twrp from fastboot
- select to start recovery on phone's fastboot menu (volume keys+confirm by power)
- enter your password to decrypt data
- flash vbmeta.img from PC by adb command
- at this stage I made a restart to twrp from twrp menu
- there's shouldn't be any prompt about data encryption
- made a cpmplete backup of the phone - backup to SD card, or to internal and at this stage copy entire backup folder to PC
- wipe: dalvik/cache/system/data
- install system img from a file GSI
- reboot to recovery
- install gapps, if error 70 --> goto wipe, advanced, resize system partition, back to install, install gapps
- reboot
if bootloops - format data partition

So gsi roms also have fingerprint problems ... However, more than a custom rom, I was interested in coloros with root ...
I can't give up the fingerprint though because some applications of the company I work for use it for authentication ...
I managed to root, magisk 20.3 zip flash on twrp, on the European version a17 with this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81579961&postcount=44
To make the vbmeta flash command work I used the minimal adb version 1.43, with previous versions it doesn't work.
The fingerprint works very well and energy consumption has not changed compared to use with locked boot.
After carrying out all the procedure, the magisk manager indicates the certified safety net unlike the play store which is instead not certified. To have it certified, you need to download the Device ID app, copy the GSF code that gives you the result by opening it and insert it on the page of this link:
https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/?pli=1
After having it delete the data of google service framework and google play store, force the arrest of the second and reopen it ...

Hi. It has been almost 7 years since i have flashed any rom. I wanted easy way to flash xiaomi eu in Mi 11x, indian variant.
In this thread - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/did-anyone-installed-xiaomi-eu-on-mi-11x.4276167/
it was said that you can flash fastboot rom by renaming alioth to aliothin in 'windows_fastboot_first_install_with_data_format.bat' file. This methods feels way more easy than flashing TWRP.
Nowadays many users here and on youtube are flashing roms with recovery using TWRP. Is there any reason to use TWRP method instead of fastboot method. It seems TWRP method uses more custom things having higher chances of bricking the phone. in fastboot we are using default MIUI fastboot making it safer. Anyone experienced in flashing what would be the easiest way to flash EU Rom in Mi 11x (indian variant?
Hi there,
different roms have different methods of flashing nowadays, and especially for our device.
Fastboot flashing is incredibly easy. Just boot into fastboot and run the windows_fastboot_first_install_with_data_format.bat
which will be extracted with the rom.
before you do this please make sure you have unlocked the bootloader which takes 7 days to receive an unlock token from xiaomi servers.

Fastboot rom at EU is only when there isn't any TWRP available.
This said you have to go with TWRP for any update or change you need.
Last: Said less risk of hard brick with TWRP than fastboot process.
In order to install EU rom latest via TWRP it is so simply to boot TWRP in fastboot and install the rom.
Twrp will stay permanent once done.
NOTE:
Be careful to install a rom Aliothin compatible, nevertheless TWRP will stop you before going in trouble if any.

To flash xiaomi.eu the best way is to use twrp, also because the latest version is not in fastboot.
- First unlock the bootloader!
- Then disable Driver Signature Verification in Windows 10:
How to Enable or Disable Driver Signature Enforcement in Windows 10

- Download and install miflashtool then go to the driver option and install the phone drivers (It is the program you will need if you want to return to stock safely, keep it):
Xiaomi Flash Tool - Official Mi Flash Tool
Download the latest and Official Xiaomi Flash Tool from the Official Xiaomi Flash Tool Website.
xiaomiflashtool.com
- Now you will need adb and fastboot, so download platform tool from here and put platform tool folder in c:\
SDK Platform Tools release notes | Android Studio | Android Developers
Android SDK Platform-Tools is a component for the Android SDK.
developer.android.com
- Now restart your pc.
Then follow these steps:
{To flash xiaomi.eu you must first launch twrp, then...}
1) download the twrp image from here:
[RECOVERY] [12] [OFFICIAL] TeamWin Recovery Project

forum.xda-developers.com
2) Put the image filenametwrp.img in the platform tool folder;
3) Go to the platform tool folder, rename the filenametwrp.img to twrp.img;
4) (In the phone) make sure you have enabled usb debug in developer settings and have authorized the pc.
5) Download the xiaomi.eu rom .zip file for your mobile phone and put it in the phone memory
Xiaomi European Community | MIUI ROM Since 2010
MIUI ROM Global Language creators since 2010 providing support for Xiaomi MIUI and Mi Home products
xiaomi.eu
6) Now turn off the phone and start it in fastboot mode, then connect it to the pc via the usb cable
7) Go to the platform tool folder and in the address bar type cmd and hit enter (a prompt window should open) then type this command
Code:
fastboot devices
to check if it is recognized
8) if the phone code appears you can boot twrp by typing this
Code:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
hit enter and the phone should boot into twrp
9) Now in twrp go to install and look for the .zip file of the rom you put before, then flash it.
10) When it finishes (it takes a few minutes) go back, go to the wipe section then advanced wipe and format datadata, then restart in the system. (It will remain on the miui logo for several minutes, wait, then the configuration should start.)
If you follow all the steps everything should go smoothly, but if you have any problems or questions you can ask.

Hi there,
though i'm not a newbie, i'm not an expert either. I usually go by trial and error.
And so I have done with my Poco F3: I've succeeded (with trial and error) to get a recent MIUI 13.eu rom on it and it runs real smooth. But the TWRP I am using, is not able to decrypt anymore with the password I've always used. And I think my fastboot-option is corrupt, since when I boot to this option my pc does not recognize my phone as a device anymore.
I am looking therefore for instructions / a tutorial on how to repair the fastboot option and how to go about with the encyption if I don't know what te password is. I would like to be able to upgadre to the latest .eu rom, but for this my twrp needs to decrypt and I can't get that to function anymore. So in present TWRP, i can not acces any rom-files, also not through the SD-storage function
Ofcourse there will probably by an option for clean install of everything, but where is it and how does this find the nescessary rom-file (as the file explorer had only acces to internal files and even then not to encrypted part).
Hope I explain it clearly enough?
Any help / tips / suggestions will be appreciated!!
Thanks in advance!
* download mi unlock tool and open its settings (at the top right corner)
* install phone drivers (connect your phone in fastboot mode)
also make sure you connect the phone on a usb 2.0 or 3.0 port
as for twrp, use the following twrp:
https://dl.akr-developers.com/?file=skkk/TWRP/A12/v6.3_A12/%5BBOOT%5D3.6.2_12-RedmiK40-POCOF3-Mi11X_v6.3_A12-alioth-skkk_a616ae6b.zip

Great tip on the correct installation of phone drivers, thank you. After re-installing them through the mi unlock tool, it looks like the device is recognised again.
As for the TWRP, I am using the official TWRP 3.7.0 for A12 now... wil downgrading to the 3.6.3 skk version be a step forward for the decryption problem?
Thanks very much for helping me out!

skkk twrp is pretty much the go to twrp for poco f3
Thanks for the help, but alas the problem isn't solved.... After reinstalling the USB drivers, my the driver-utility reports it sees a device after I connect my Poco F3. In ADB (through powershell with administrator rights) however, on the command ADB devices it shows no connected devices. And also the fastboot flash recovery command does not work... it looks like it is uploading the twrp-file, but notihing really happens.
I'm guessing the fastboot that the official TWRP 3.7.0 brought me, does not function well... But now I have no idea on how to get the correct TWP img version on to the device, since I cannot seem to get an ADB session, and since the present TWRP 3.7.0 does not recognise the normal filesystem, I also cannot load it through the TWRP interface.
Any ideas on how to get out of this mess are very welcome, I would very much like to be able to have a properly updateable Poco F3 once again, appearantly I messed up by installing the official TWRP 3.7.0...
Thank you for helping me out, any idea is appreciated!
Luckily this problem is solved now. Problem was that I was using the wrong TWRP, appearantly the proper one for alioth is the TWRP from skk. And after booting into that one (not flashing it yet), I could get in the new TWRP recovery, which did recognise my folders and file system, including my USB drive. So I was able to install the latest EU rom from that booted TWRP and before rebooting, I also opted in the new TWRP to have this new TWRP flashed into recovery.
After rebooting, all is well. I have the latest stable EU rom installed and my installed recovery is the latest skk one. Thanks for all the help, I am glad I called on the community!
How to flash miui14 Chinese dev recovery rom in mipad 5
?
1. You download the CN Stable dev build from here
2. A. It's a recovery ROM zip, so you can only directly flash it in MIUI Updater, or MIUI Stock Recovery, if you are already on the same branch (CN Stable dev)
2. B. otherwise (you are on a different ROM variant, like Global or Stable non-dev) you have to unlock your tablet and then flash the recovery ROM zip via custom recovery (TWRP) or flash a fastboot ROM (which is not the same as the zip above) and flash it via MiFlash Tool, or adb from a computer.

Cant update through miui updater ?

WARNING: If you don't know how this stuff works, I recommend not to do it. This will install CN Stable Dev ROM, only English and Chinese will be available. Mi Flash gives an error but the Tablet reboots and MIUI 14 CN will be properly flashed without losing user-data. But to be sure, make a backup and learn how to fix a soft-bricked device BEFORE you start. If you soft-brick, don't ask questions here but google and learn through youtube tutorials.
unlock your device. Apply here
download the latest MIUI 14 chinese stable dev fastboot tgz file
extract the tgz with winRAR or 7zip into a folder
download and extract Mi Flash Tool into another folder
run XiaoMiFlash.exe inside the extracted Mi Flash Tool folder
Install the drivers when asked inside the Mi Flash Tool, if it gives an error then install the driver manually
Turn off your Mi Tab 5, then reboot it by pressing POWER + VOLUME UP until the Fastboot screen appears
Connect your Mi Tab 5 to your computer via USB.
Click the "refresh" button in Mi Flash Tool. In the table below the "select" button a new row should appear with an id and device. If not you have a USB driver problem, cable problem, your tablet is not in fastboot mode or other issue. Use google to fix your problem or watch a youtube video to learn how to do it.
in Mi Flash Tool click the "select" button and navigate to the folder where you extracted the tgz file, click OK. (Make sure you navigate and select the "nabu_images_V14.0.22.12.21.DEV_13.0" folder, and not the one inside it called "images")
At the bottom of Mi Flash Tool select "Save user data"and in the drop down next to it select "Flash all except storage"
Click the "flash" button in Mi Flash Tool and wait until it's done.
