What I did was root my device (you'll need root for FreeGee to work), install FreeGee, let FreeGee back up my nonsense, Disable LGE security, install TWRP. From there you'll have a custom recovery and you'll be able to flash CM or whatever other ROM you'd like.

Better is very subjective. I'm a fan (and builder) of Carbon for the G Pro because it has a little more customization than CM. We have a few good options, though, so pick one and flash away. If you don't like it you can always flash a different one.

When I have done the exact same thing my phone soft bricked. Now in boot loop and not able to flash stock rom /recovery as I am also getting low battery error in lfg update tool. What am I doing wrong?

Good Day all,
I was wondering, is it possible to revert to the stock recovery after installing the Global ROM on the mi mix 3 China Version?
Reason I am wondering is because when I/We receive a OTA update from Xiaomi while using the Global ROM, will the phone be able to update or will it just freak out on me/us and die?
Currently I am waiting for my Bootloader to be unlocked (ETA 70HRS), I have all files necessary files downloaded (TWRP, Global ROM, Magisk v17.1)
Help/Advice would be appreciated :good:
Kind Regards

I find you very helpful in the forum and I would like to ask you few questions, I am thinking about buying the device but only chinese version is available here and I cant wait for the global to arrive
my questions are:
1- global version only released with 6GB RAM , if I got chinese version with 8GB , will it be able to run the global ROM ?
2- I have never flashed a ROM before , but I have strong knowledge in linux and command lines, will this be a hard task for me to do ? is it risky to brick the device ?
3- After flashing the Global ROM , will I receive official OTA updates directly from xaiomi without any problems ?

1. Yes no problem, I'm on 8GB model and worked fine
2. Really hard to hard brick, soft brick possible but easily fixable via fastboot to flash new system, boot etc
3. I believe so, not tested as there isn't a 2nd global update out?

Is it also possible to Re-lock the bootloader after the completion?
After ! have put the Global ROM on the phone, i want to:
1. revert the recovery back to stock
2. un-root
3 .Re-lock the bootloader
Is this possible?
Is there a copy of the original Recovery available?
Regards

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Only relock the bootloader on the ROM base it came with. So if your phone came with the Chinese ROM do not relock bootloader with global. If you do it's goodbye phone
Stock ROM will install stock recovery once phone has booted up

Duly noted about the Bootloader.
Is there a way to get the likes of Google Pay to work on the Global ROM on the chinese phone without using Magisk Hide

You'd have to use the Xiaomi EU rom with or without magisk as the global ROM has a CTS mismatch so won't pass safety net.

Thank you for this information.
What EU ROM would you suggest to get all features based on your experience?

So just to clarify, if I get a Chinese Mix 3, unlock bootloader, flash official global ROM, I CANNOT relock the bootloader, unless I flash back to the Chinese ROM?

So when I flash this ROM, will it also re-flash the stock recovery?
Will this make any difference when I/We recieved the weekly OTA update?

No, flashing the ROM will keep TWRP installed as it's a custom miui ROM.
OTA works and will automatically flash the update via TWRP for you.

Just a quick update for you all that I have successfully, unlocked the Bootloader and installed the ROM.
Just a quick note to mention that after you do:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP_perseus.img
DO NOT put in the command:
fastboot boot TWRP_perseus.img
After flashing TWRP just take your phone (either connected or disconnected from PC) and hold vol up and power. It will reboot in TWRP.
I tried rebooting into the recovery using the above command line and it just rebooted into MIUI Recovery.
Hope this helps :good:

What about that thing called anti rollback? Im afraid to brick the device.
Good question .. and do you still recieve OTA updates for the official rom if you unlock the BL ?

You don't have to worry about antirollback..
Your device will be bricked if you try to flash 9.5.17 or older version
But you can flash any MIUI ROM from 9.5.19 and newer
Antirollback doesn't apply to custom ROM
Just keep two things.
Flash latest Miui ROM
Flash custom recovery (first boot into recovery and then flash recovery from recovery)
Wipe everything
Flash custom ROM
Flash gapps
Thats all
Do not flash any older firmware. Your device will not be bricked a long as you are flashing latest available miui ROM

Stock ROM with locked bootloader... I like official update (I have tried all the custom ROMs on my previous phone so )
Hi everybody,
I have an IMEI repaired China version Redmi Note 8 Pro with Global ROM. Since my phone has Android 11 running I couldn't use TWRP to root. I tried to root by flashing patched boot.img with ADB before. I got in a bootloop instead and fixed by flashing old boot.img. I wonder if there's another way to root without losing repaired IMEI. Appreciate any kind of help.
More device details in attachments.

Oh didn't know that, thank you.
But I have another thing in my mind, wouldn't it (Having a Custom Recovery or Flashing Files via Custom Recovery) cause me to lose my repaired IMEI?

I don't have an exact answer for that. I suggest creating backups before you flash anything so you can restore them in case something goes wrong,especially nvram,nvdata,persist,protect_f and protect_s

So far as I know, you can't downgrade the Binaries. But still u can manage to find someway to leave A11 and back to whatever A u want since customs ROMs ( based on stock ) are seems enough

Hi, thanks for answering. I found an A9 rom for my phone, but when i flash it in TWRP 3.6.1 A11 it gets stuck in bootloop. Tried flashing multidisabler afterwards and wiping it but still nothing. Any ideas?

Flashing Custom Recovery and/or ROOT on A50 is quite different with few extra steps. Do the searching in our forum, u'll find the information u need.
P/S : Always read carefully ROM's Install Instructions, it cover all the info u may need!
