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

Hello everyone, I have a problem with TWRP.
In my previous phone when I made a complete backup of rom an partitions, I could test another rom and if I did not like it or it was bugged, I could do a compkete restore and everything would come back to previous state.
In this phone when I backup all my partitions in twrp and restore it all my sim card is not detect, even with rom reinstall... the only way is to restore it with kies, using model and serial nr, but that took ages and I lose twrp and custom rom, returning to complete stock.
I would appreciate some help. Thanks !!
Hello
Have you make a repair of the partitions?
Its an idea and hope i can help with this. In twrp under the option wipe is it.

This may be either the rom u installed upgrades your modem or a twrp problem...anyway next time restore every partition except the modem partition and tell me the result.

Thanks i Will try that !
Same problem with me but i fix this by just flasing the rom with odin but then it show a drm problem screen.
After that i flash the twrp recovery then format the j7 through the recovery and it fixed every thing.

Welcome...bro
So I made research but couldn’t find a clear answer. If I want to go back to OOS, can I just download the latest build from OnePlus site and flash it in TWRP and be all good? Or will my TWRP get replaced with stock recovery after flashing it?
Cuz I am now using paranoid android which is based on Nougat 7.1.2 but I want to give newest Oreo OOS a shot after a while.
And is it true that I don’t need anything else but the zip of an OOS? I am not planning to root or install magisk because I don’t feel like needing root nowdays.
Thanks for reading :fingers-crossed:
twrp will get replaced, you will have to flash twrp immediately after flashing the rom to retain twrp.
Hit thanks if it helps

Just flash ROM and gapps and don't flash firmware while flashing custom ROM
While flashing stock MIUI ROM use fastboot ROM to flash and there won't be any chances of brick. MiFlash software checks bootloader index before flashing a ROM so it is safer way

So Finally installed GCAM after unlocking the bootloader , installed Redwolf recovery & rooted with Magisk & its working good. Will i be able to upgrade to MIUI 10 with OTA or have to follow some other process?
Also, which ROM & kernel setup do you use.
Thanks in advance!

Yes you can upgrade to MIUI10.. but you have to flash full recovery ROM, still you will get OTA update from xiaomi but its always recommended to flash complete recovery ROM
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?

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

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.

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:
GAPPS
Has anyone tried to flash GAPPS onto this ROM safely or would it mess everything up?
Hello everybody,
yesterday I installed the ROM V.11.0.7 but it doesn't make any changes. It seems official. It's terrible! Today I tried to put the V. 11.0.5 but it does not even let me install the TWPR 3.4.1B I probably made a mess.
It doesn't allow me to downgrade.
Can you help me please?
Thanks a lot!

To come back to miui from AOSP you must use miflash tool to flash an official fastboot version of miui. It's necessary because miflash restores some partitions that are altered by flashing AOSP roms. Just remember not to relock the bootloader because miflash can do that.

You must bind your mi flash to your account to be able to use it to flash a rom on your phone. Note that mi flash will recognize your phone even if you had flashed a different rom on it.
