I am using havoc os 2.6 and want to get back to latest MIUI .
I am unable to find descriptive steps for reverting back to ui
Anyone please help me.
Download MIUI RECOVERY rom from miui website and flash it using custom recovery (wipe data system vendor cache) and u r good to go
I recommend that you do a fresh start. Download latest fastboot ROM (https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/) for the device, then follow this guide https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2 to get the flashing software (skip step 2). Remember to select Clean All only (if you want to lock the bootloader, choose Clean All and Lock). Everything in the phone will be deleted (even internal storage) so make a backup if you don't want to lose your data.

My Xperia ZL won't allow me to install a custom ROM.
Here are the steps I've taken.
1. Updated to 10.6.... (Lollipop fw) via Flashtool
2. Boots correctly, everything seems to work.
3. Flashed boot.img from Paranoid Android and went into TWRP to flash the ROM zip (wiped cache, system and data before).
Did step 3 to test the same for OmniRom too.
4. Phone boots, shows Bootanimation, shows Optimizing apps, then hangs after finish and does step 4 again.
Please help me, I could install custom ROMs on the device before, suddenly it does not work anymore.
Note: EVERYTHING works fine with Stock. Flashed stock ftf multiple times and tried these steps.
Thanks for your help
It seems to be a Bootloop. Try below steps;
1. Through TWRP wipe (system+cache+dalvic cache+data+android secure)
2. Install ROM.zip
3. Wipe cache+dalvic cache+data
4. Reboot
Hope the above steps helps you

@hitman-xda I've tried these steps, except for android secure.
What is that partition and what does it do?
Cannot find it in Advanced Wipe of TWRP.
Thanks
It is the mysterious part. Actually no one knows about it. Some says, it contains secured links/data of some apps.
If you are clean flashing ROM, that's means you have to wipe everything except storage part. That's the reason I mentioned it.
If you can't find it, just leave it
@hitman-xda So I've already done what you suggested, with no luck.
Guess I'm stuck on stock till someone helps me
Thanks for your reply
did you install de correct kernel?
maybe you should wipe everything, install the correct kernel and after that, install the custom ROM
i don't now if it will work, but at least try
I did fastboot flash boot boot.img (got it from ROM zip)
Then erased everything and flashed ROM.
No luck
Does that Paranoid Android was built for your phone?
Your phone loops from 'optimizing apps' , that means your phone is unable to load dalvic/art for the apps.
Also check weather PA ROM can be flashed over lollipop, if not then you have to downgrade an then try the same procedure.
Also you can download stock kernel with recovery, flash it and then directly try to flash your respective ROM.
Usually ROM.zip contains kernel and get flashed during installation of zip, just the thing is they can be flashable over some selective android versions.
Hello,
I don't know why my lg g3 phone doesn't want boot on custom rom.
I have the LG G3 d855 model, 16gb memory and here are my procedure to install every custom rom :
1. Flash Stock ROM using LGUP (the version of the firmware is not important but the possibility to root is)
2. Install KingRoot and get root
3. Install AutoREC and enter to the recovery
8. Flash Recovery TWRP 3.1.0-2
9. Reboot to the new recovery
10. ADVANCED WIPE (wipe cache, dalvik cache, data and SYSTEM)
11. Flash baseband 21C
12. Flash CUSTOM rom
13. Wipe cache and dalvik cache
14. Flash Gapp
15. Wipe cache and dalvik cache
16. Reboot
I think I did nothing bad...
but the phone does not start and it stays at the initial logo screen (not the LG logo, but the custom rom logo). I waited over 10 minutes to boot but nothing. Even though I install the identical rom again or install an anoter rom, each time the same issue.
This happens with all custom rom (xenonhd, resurrection remix, and now lineageOS)
I can use and boot on stock rom but each time I want to install a custom rom, my phone doesn't want to boot. The phone display stays at the initial rom logo screen.
It seems that I am alone to have this problem.
I don't know why and I search everywhere to find out the solution...
PS : My phone never restart by itself. I never have bootloop with my phone when I using stock rom and same with custom rom..
The problem is the boot with a custom rom. The phone don't want to boot and stay on logo loading...
Any suggestion may be help.
Thank you.
1. Once you installed TWRP you don't have to go back to stock to switch roms. From then on you can just download zips and flash them.
2. You need to delete everything (including system) except internal and external storage ( so you can still flash the zip for xceed, otherwise you will delete it). Remember that you will lose all your apps including your data with it. You can backup them with titanium backup tho. Pictures and video's will still be there as they are stored on the internal or external storage.
3. You also need to flash the GAPPS package after flashing rom, for xceed (7.1.1), pick nano (ARM)
4. Wipe cache and dalvik after flashing and reboot.
5. Make a backup before you do so !!!!!!
Good luck.

Hello,
1. I think that but with specific rom, some people tell us to flash stock rom before flashing a custom rom. eMMC bug related ?
2. Deleting the system changes nothing because the system is wiped when I flash the rom, right ?
3. if the rom boot first then I will install Gapps. Else, I don’t install because the rom doesn’t want to boot.
1. Well .. I've been switching between fulmics,xceed,rr, .. etc without any problem so no, there is no need to go back to stock everytime.
2. Try it, you won't be able to boot until you flash a new rom, but it could help. That's why you take a backup in the first place. It is more 'clean' and if you don't try it you won't know.
3. Sometimes you have to flash gapps directly after the rom or you will be in for a bad time if you do afterwards.
Once you have TWRP recovery installed it's the easiest thing ever to flash a new rom. Make sure your zip files are downloaded okay. Download the MD3 to check it. Try to download via MEGA app or so, because browsers downloads tend to have errors sometimes.
Apart from that. Don't root via kingroot. They have had some suspicious cases where malware was installed on the phone when rooting.
If nothing's works. Go back to full stock through KDZ, root wit your PC, install TWRP via autorec, go to recovery, wipe everything, install modem 21C, install rom and gapps, wipe cache, reboot. Don't try anything other than that.
I have the same problem

Hello,
I have a question.
Can you give me a gapp 100% compatible with all custom rom with android 7.1.2, because i think opengapp are not reliable. Maybe the gapp will cause my issue and the rom won't boot.
Can i use this one https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...isited-slim-gapps-6-0-7-0-unofficial-t3462088 ?
I always use PICO version of gapp
Thank
Currently I'm following this process when I want a super clean flash of a new ROM
- Use Back2Stock script to get stock Motorola Marshmallow
- Flash TWRP
- Flash ROM
- Flash GAPPS
I keep coming back to these steps for one major reason : TWRP will not let me format or erase the DATA or INTERNAL STORAGE partition. This means that if I keep flashing different ROMs through TWRP, there will be junk data piling up in the DATA or INTERNAL STORAGE. But I digress..
I want to know if encryption is removed automatically when I flash custom rom like AOKP or RRemix? Does it depend on the ROM? Or should be including that RemoveForceEnc.zip in my steps?
Apparently those steps also cause my to not have root in my custom ROM.
The new steps I'm running now :
- Use Back2Stock script to get stock Motorola Marshmallow
- Flash TWRP
- Flash Fixed Firmware (marshmallow version)
- Flash SuperSU v2.79-SR3
- Flash ROM
- Flash OpenGAPPS (ARM version)
I'm no expert, but as far as I know you can only encrypt your data partition again from within Android Settings > Security. It won't be automatically encrypted again by simply flashing a new custom ROM.
Perhaps it could encrypt it when you flash stock, which is actually something I'd like to confirm because I removed encryption on my Z Play yesterday and am currently running LOS, so if I eventually flash stock again I wonder if it will automatically encrypt my data partition back.... I'm guessing no, but it's something I'd like to confirm (and/or try later on).
I don't have you TWRP problem, meaning I can format everything on my TWRP (if I go to advanced format I can select all options there and have everything wiped), but I usually simply do wipes on TWRP, then flash ROM, then Gapps, then boot, then install Magisk Manager (from Play store) and root from there.
Confirmed. When you flash stock you're re-encrypted (sad).
Now I am on custom rom, what to do to flash stock rom? just flash zip file in TWRP? or should I flash stock TWRP or what?
You got some options:
But first a heads-up: you will lose all your data.
Zip-flash method:
Copy the stock rom flashable zip to your micro sd. Make sure you got the flashable zip! To be flashed in twrp.!
Boot to twrp.
Factory reset
Then wipe system partition
Now flash the zip.
Wipe dalvik and cache.
Reboot
Enjoy
Fastboot method: (will surely wipe everything)
Search for team one rescue firmware on our XDA.
Download the firmware package.
Boot your phone into bootloader.
Connect your phone to your PC.
Make sure you got your backup to your PC. Or micro SD.
Extract the firmware package and start
Flash-all stock recovery.bat
Or a name similar.
Wait until the phone reboots in its own, and DO NOT , disconnect the phone while in process of flashing.
Once the the Google setup is visible, you can safely disconnect your phone.
You should be back on marshmallow stock rom.
Do some ota updates. Enjoy,

Now I have custom TWRP and a custom rom, I will choose Zip-flash method.
Can I flash stock rom with this custom TWRP? I mean can I flash stock rom like custom ones via twrp?
Can I flash custom rom later after installing stock rom?

For starters, twrp is a custom recovery, so you don't have to put the word "custom" before twrp everytime you mention it. X)
There are flashable zips that contain the stock rom. So, in a sense, yes, but you can't do any ota updates.
Download any needed file before beginning to flash a new rom:
Custom Rom, Gapps and if you want root: Magisk or SuperSu. Put those files on your micro SD in your phone.
Create a backup in twrp. You Just have to slide from left to right, no need to select anything more than what is already selected from the start.
Before installing a custom rom, you have to always wipe system, data, dalvik and cache partition in twrp recovery.
Only then you can flash the stock rom, which can be downloaded in one of the threads here in our XDA Lenovo p2 forum.
Little need to know: before flashing any rom, do a factory reset in twrp and wipe system partition.
Be aware that by deleting the four partitions you will lose your app data, sms,call log and so on.
Internal storage however isn't affected, so your music und Pictures won't be deleted.

Thanks for your detailed answer I am now on custom rom, i will download stock rom from the sticky thread, although all links are dead but I will try to find a working link
BTW, what is the latest stock rom?
I think S251 ...i'm not sure though. It shiuld be the one with the highest number=latest version ?
I still think that custom roms are better than stock though but do what you think is right.
Hi XDA!
I want to install this ROM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-unofficial-10-0-gauguin-lineageos-17-1.4224633/
I did all the necessary steps:
Copy the ZIP onto my SD card
Boot into TWRP (already installed)
Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> I wiped Dalvik/ART Cache, Cache, Data
Install -> select LineageOS ZIP
After install I went to Wipe -> Format Data
After data format I rebooted into system
After all these steps it just boots into recovery. I also tried with NikGapps, but that gave me error 255 when formatting Data so I will NOT install any GApps (I also don't need them).
What am I doing wrong here? I have already flashed LineageOS on my Redmi Note 7, so these steps should work.
Thanks for any help

This rom requires you to be on android 10 stock MIUI firmware
Either flash that first or if you want to remain on stock MIUI android 11 firmware choose a different custom rom that is based on Android 11 stock firmware
Note an android 11 custom rom can still be based on stock MIUI android 10 firmware/vendor so don't get confused!
Read the first post fully and it will tell you what firmware is required
And if you want gapps I would use open gapps nano version
