Can't install any rom - Xiaomi Redmi 7 Questions & Answers

Hello,
Just after unlocked the bootloader, I flashed Orange Fox recovery and tried to install the last Pixel Experience, but I was stuck on boot animation.
Same for previous Pixel Experience rom.
Then, I tried LineageOS 19.1, and successfully booter on it. But, I got screen that said "Your data may be corrupter" and can't do anything but reboot into recovery.
I'm out of option, now... Did I forgot something ?
PS: I also tried to flash Chikori Kernel but I got error "New image is larger than targeted partition"

Try to flash V12.5.3.0.QFLCNXM with Twrp/O.f (TWRP is newer than this OF.)
then
reboot Twrp/O.F
Wipe/format data type yes
reboot Twrp/O.F
Flash rom
Sometimes the flashing of the recovery ROM does not work with the Twrp/O.F in this case use Miflash with a fastboot rom.

If you're still trying to figure this one out, I think I know how to solve your issue installing LOS.
You most likely used TWRP v3.70, am I right?
You should use TWRP v3.61 coz that was the last stable version that worked, the only thing is that you might need to find another custom recovery other than the official TWRP after installing an Android 12 custom ROM like LOS 19.1.
Lineage OS has their own recovery so you'd probably need to use that if you want to update it.

Same issue with me. yesterday. Though mine is fixed.
My workaround was: I installed the official 12.5.3 MIUI using OrangeFox. After boot, I tried installing PixelExperience using Pixel recovery. There I got successfully installed a custom ROM. Alhough I am not sure if the mounting/encryption of Internal SD is the cause.

LineageOS-based roms won't boot - Firmware 4.1.0

I'm having issues with LineageOS based roms. Basically, ever since 4.1.0 was released, I haven't been able to boot anything other than OxygenOS.
The first time I flashed the 4.1.0 firmware, my OnePlus 3 bricked. I then used the unbrick tool to fix it. I then tried again, by flashing the 4.1.0 firmware, then flashing the latest LineageOS "lineage-14.1-20170316-nightly-oneplus3-signed.zip". Upon reboot, the phone stays stuck at the lineageos boot animation. I can't get any logcats (adb logcat doesn't seem to work).
Things I've tried so far:
- Using TWRP 3.0.4-1
- Using TWRP 3.1.0-0
- Dirty flash
- Clean flash
- Data as both f2fs and ext4, neither works
- Tried using TWRP's "Fix Contents"
- Tried using TWRP's filesystem repair, no problems with the filesystem
I'm at a loss, no idea what to do. I really want to get back to LineageOS, but ever since that original brick, the phone hasn't been able to boot anything other than the stock ROM.
do you try download again that rom?
i had some problems with AICP, flashing last firmware+modem was solved
you can try using other base, like 4.02, or freedomOS OB12
just ideas, I don't know what's the problem :/
bro i flashed the 316 build on oos 4.1 firmware and modem no issue here all works fine still using it with blue spark kernal you must have done something wrong

I don't think I screwed up anything. I had flashed multiple roms before. (LineageOS, ResurrectionRemix, AICP, FreedomOS...)
All of them worked, up until recently. When the 4.1.0 update came out, LineageOS Roms stopped booting. OxygenOS ROMS still work fine though. Flashing the OB12 firmware doesn't help.
This is the first time this has happened, I have no idea why its happening.
Do you flash SuperSU, without SuperSU mine boots fine. Without i m stuck in boot
Tried flashing SuperSU, but nothing has changed. Android still won't boot up if it is a LineageOS based ROM
go to stock recovery (oxygen os stock one)
then flash 4.1.0 with that recovery
then boot
now replace the recovery with twrp 3.1.0
once done dont boot the rom n go to recovery and flash su
now boot rom
now again go to twrp n wipe system, data, cache, dalvik
and then flash lineage lastest build.. it will work
if not lemme know i will help you further

Just did it. It didn't work, the phone gets stuck in the LineageOS Boot screen
Now, not even Android 6.0 ROMS will boot. I think some partitions are corrupted, but I'm unable to wipe them in fastboot mode.
Edit: So, finally, after 3 days, I was able to get in contact with OnePlus. OnePlus fixed the problem with the Qualcomm Tools, not entirely sure what they did, but it fixed the problem. I'm finally able to boot LineageOS!!!!

how much time do you wait because first boot does take 5 or more minutes

OnePlus said that the persist partition had been corrupted. So they re-flashed it and the phone started booting custom ROMS again. I guess the ROMS weren't booting because they got stuck waiting on the sensors. (To be completely honest, I never noticed that the sensors were broken. Since the only one I frequently use is the Gyroscope and that one was working fine)

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

[Help needed] Lost TWRP after flashing Xtended ROM.

I wiped the phone clean and tried to flash the new version of AEX But, it showed Error 7.
Tried looking for fix for Error 7 on internet, it didn't work for AEX5.6, 5.5, 5.4.
5.3 installs normally.
But felt like needed something new.
Went on the forums to find Xtended ROM. Flashed it.
After flashing it tried flashing Nano GAPPS.. Didn't work.
Tried to system reboot and thought I can later work it out.
ROM is all fine... But, later when I got to recovery mode.
(Problem begins)
I realised I lost TWRP.
And the recovery that's there wouldn't allow me to flash anything.
It looks more like CWM recovery but with less options.
It doesn't even have a advanced wipe!
Now I'm stuck with a non rooted phone, without Google bare minimum functionalities.
Am I alone? Help me out!

For aex issue did you flash factory2vendor zip before flashing rom?
You will have to install twrp image using PC. Like the first time you did when you were unlocking bootloader
Flash zui using qfil or miflash.
If bootloader is unlocked still. You can directly flash twrp.
If not first unlock your bootloader and then flash twrp.
For treble rom like aex5.5 you need to flash factory2vendor.zip and then flash twrp with treble support.
For info on flashing and link visit aex5.5 rom page.

Fastboot bootlooping after trying to flash custom ROM

Hey everyone. Tried to flash a custom ROM for the first (and maybe last time) on the Mi5s from China Stable V10.2 to Lineage OS16. I think i did everything correctly at first
Unlocked the bootloader with Mi Unlock, put the SDK tools into ADB folder, flashed TWRP with command prompt, made a backup, wiped data, disabled force encryption, MAGISK root, flashed Mi5s firmware (although I could only find Oreo), LOS16 (Pie), and OpenGApps
I did all of that and got stuck on the LOS boot animation. Then I wiped data + cache partitions and tried again (didn't work). I quit trying with LOS but instead tried to flash the MIUI Global Stable recovery ROM with TWRP, also only made it to the boot animation. I then did a factory wipe on TWRP and tried to restore my backup but now it would only boot to the fastboot (not even trying to load the ROM)....... I can still access TWRP so maybe I'm not so screwed but what do I do? I just want a functioning device and don't mind if I go back to China Stable although advice on trying to flash a custom ROM would be appreciated. Thanks!

[Solved] Is there anyone who can help me with Pixel Experience stuck in G logo issue?

My device is SM-N976N (Korean variant of Note 10+ 5G with Exynos)
I've unlocked bootloader, disabled OEM Lock, succesfully installed latest TWRP, wiped everything it need, and tried to install latest PE+ (A13) via TWRP.
At first, it shows 'Google' and go to G logo and tiny status bar beneath. But that's it. It does not boot and just stuck at that thing.
I tried almost everything in google, XDA, or other community. I tried to use 'Format data' in TWRP, reinstall another version of TWRP, install another custom kernel, reinstall old PE (A12)
but it is not fixed at all.
Is there anyone who can help with it? I'm almost dying because of it.
---2023.03.03 Solved----
I just installed PixelOS recovery on my phone and install PE+ via PixelOS recovery. And it finally went through.
Maybe PE is not stable with TWRP in Galaxy smartphones.

I think they're all recommend to install there rom with an AOSP-base recovery (i.e lineage recovery, pixel recovery).
