So i have this mi 11 lite device (lisa) and when i was flashing awoken os rom after flashing i was sidedload the firmware i downloaded from Xiaomi website..but after flashing it only went to bootloop but when i flashed pixel os rom and downloaded their firmware that was included with the rom it worked !! So my question is can i use that firmware for every rom or do i have to download separate firmware for every other custom rom..or is it the Android version that requires the same version firmware... e.g Android 12 has one firmware that works for every Android 12 rom and Android 13 has a firmware that works with every Android 13 rom..
Every rom requires different firmware . U can download the proper one from the rom's topics

Flashing latest builds of most ROMs (ones which need pie firmware) give error 7: with message 'you need to have firmware V10.3.1.PIEMIXM or above as prerequisite to flash this rom'
Since I am on anti-rollback-3, i downloaded and flashed the non-arb version of V10.3.1.PIEMIXM firmware from the stable firmware list, but flashing the rom still gives the same error.
I tried using TWRP 3.3.1 Official, i am using redmi note 5 pro (indian version). Can anyone tell me what am i doing wrong?

Is there no way to get pie firmware without getting to anti 4?
You need recovery compatible with Pie FW. Here is unofficial TWRP 3.3.1-1 working fine with Pie FW.
I am currently on MIUI Global 9.5.19.0. Do I need to flash the latest firmware before installing an android 9 or 10 custom rom?
Yes buddy u have to flash atleast a pie firmware
(I suggest to flash 9.4.25 firmware, as it is best Pie Firmware)
U can download from Xiaomi firmware updater
Thanks man!!
I am unlocking the bootloder on my mobile Android 9 miui 11.3, I want to run Xiaomi eu's Android 8.1 miui 9 custom rom now. Do I need any frimwear to install custom ROM on this device?
I think Eu ROM flashes the firmware automatically, so u don't need to flash firmware by yourself.
But but but please check the ARB version of firmware
Hello friends
I'm trying to flash custom Q roms in TWRP on my S9 (SM-G960F), but have received the same error message for any Q rom:
ERROR:
Vendor image on the device
is NOT compatible
Expected Android 10 vendor

I've only been able to successfully flash P roms, namely the Pie-based LightRom.
Based on the error message, it seems I need to update the firmware to Q before installing custom Q roms?
I've also seen some roms note installation requirements like "ROM Firmware Required: OneUI 2.x", which is new to me (have not seen a TW/OneUI ver requirement for roms I've used on S4, S7, N8).
May I ask someone to explain the steps required to install Q roms (eg, Havoc-OS) coming from P firmware? There seems to be some assumptions in most install instructions I'm not aware of, maybe since I am on older FW. (I am asking here, since I did not find instructions in any of the Q roms I tried)
So far, all I have done to the phone since unboxing it was to install TWRP 3.4.0, following the official guide for Exynos S9.
I am guessing I need to download latest official firmware image from sammobile or something for my device, and flash it in Odin. Is this correct?
If so, can someone explain the steps so that I can have latest FW for my device while maintaining TWRP and not bricking the device?
Thank you for your help

UPDATE:
I installed latest firmware from Sammobile, flashed it through Odin following their instructions, reinstalled TWRP, and am now able to flash Q roms.
For those who have stock rom < Q, I would suggest updating firmware through OTA before flashing TWRP. If you cannot OTA, download the latest firmware from Sammobile and flash it through Odin following their instructions, then flash TWRP, then you can flash Q roms.
So:
Update firmware through OTA or via Odin with latest firmware from Sammobile.
Flash TWRP
Flash whatever rom you want.

Can anyone provide me a link for redmi note 8 android 11 firmware?
is it my problem that i don't have the latest firmware?
also can i flash firmware with my custom recovery or do i need to use some other software in fastboot mode?

your problem sounds more like data partition incompatibility
use CLEAN flash first (format data, not wipe) follow this tutorial
if it dosn't work, then start playing with FW
FW links
RN8 : https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/ginkgo/
RN8 T : https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/willow/
you can flash any region fw, (flash with recovery as normal zip)
just don't make mistake flashing ginkgo FW on willow or willow FW on ginkgo
you will break the phone !
