I installed EU 11.0.4.0 yesterday, fingerprint have worked.
One problem with my rm8 is the magisk v20.1, it only shown the root promt for 1st app after reboot, then 2nd app made magisk freeze, I flashed back to v20 and now it works fine.
If you have not install magisk please use patched magisk.img from this post

Did you installed twrp in this thread?
- If yes: then down load magisk v20 (in my exp, v20.1 made my phone stucked at root promt)
-> go in twrp
-> format data (if you never done it before) - WARNING: all your data on the phone will be lost
-> connect your phone to PC then copy the magisk v20 zip to the phone or sd
-> then go back to home, select Install
-> head to the magisk v20 zip
-> swipe to install
-> reboot
- If no: install twrp as steps in #1 and say yes...

Hello, I am poised to start customising my Redmi Note 8T. I've done loads of reading and have an outline plan but would appreciate a sanity check / review of this in case I am either missing something or doing something I shouldnt. Phone is currently encrypted, TWRP can unlock it fine. I want to end up with an encrypted device but there is nothing precious on the phone at the moment (stock MIUI as delivered, pretty much unused since the unlock factory reset).
Here's what I have following my research on other threads here:
First, what I have done already:
0. get phone Redmi 8T willow 128GB with stock MIUI (DONE)
1. unlock phone (DONE, 7 day wait!)
2. flash TWRP (DONE, used 3.3.1-1 official version, but MIUI overwrote it when I rebooted)
3. Backup from TWRP (DONE)
Next, the to-do list:
4. flash vbmeta (fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img)
5. flash TWRP 3.3.1-10 version (fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.1-10-ginkgo-willow-mauronofrio.img)
6. reboot into TWRP (fastboot reboot, hold volume up + power)
7. Wipe /system, /data, and /cache
8. flash Havoc-OS-v3.2-20200229-willow-Official.zip
9. flash open_gapps-arm64-10.0-pico-20200229.zip
10. reboot & test
11. reboot into TWRP (fastboot reboot, hold volume up + power)
12. flash magisk zip (Magisk-v20.3.zip)
13. flash disable_dm_verity zip (Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_02.24.2020.zip)
14. reboot & test
15. Install via magisk manager the SQLite3 binary (SQLite3.Universal.Binaries.v1.0.zip)
16. Reboot
17. Install vis magisk manager the GPay SQLite fix (GPay.SQLite.Fix.v2.0.zip)
18. Reboot
Thanks very much in advance.
Hey @ogpog, at step 4, where you find vbmeta to flash?
Thanks

Well I tried without vbmeta and ended up with the panic-inducing "The system is destroyed" screen. I went back to fastboot and flashed vbmeta and twrp again, then installed the cutom rom, set it all up, then went back and installed magisk.

You did well with the steps outlined above??
nothing is clear, not really..to many gray areas..like can i backup rom to external sd card, why exactly in twrp do you backup rom wise, and Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_, iv read its two files in one, new roms are not like the old days ie marshmallow kitkat, i used all in one tool flashed twrp..all went well then flashed then flashed magisk and then the dm-verty thing, ended up in a bootloop, then tried to use mi flash tool to put original firmware back, error error, got back using twrp and using eea recovery rom, although i was on on global, remember fast boot rom is not the same as recovery rom, same rom though, all very confusing...for me anyway.

Just looking back over my notes from when I did it. Here is what I wrote:
A modified vbmeta.img disables verify boot on devices using Android Verified Boot. You need to disable dm-verity on the fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
source https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81591273&postcount=196
(the above is a command-line given on your computer connected to your phone which has been booted in fastboot mode (boot phone with power+volume down). You need the fastboot command on your computer (I use Linux and it's in a package called "android-tools").
If you forget to flash vbmeta, you'll see a message "the system hass been destroyed". Just go back to fastboot mode and flash it.
This is the process I recorded, but please verify it rather than folllwing it blindly, and bear in mind that later versions are available now .
Code:
0. get phone Redmi 8T with stock MIUI
1. unlock phone (DONE, 7 day wait!)
2. flash TWRP (DONE, used 3.3.1-1 official version, but MIUI overwrote it)
3. Backup (DONE)
4. flash vbmeta (fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img)
5. flash TWRP 3.3.1-10 version (fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.1-10-ginkgo-willow-mauronofrio.img)
6. reboot into TWRP (fastboot reboot, hold volume up + power)
7. Wipe /system, /data, and /cache
8. flash Havoc-OS-v3.2-20200229-willow-Official.zip
9. flash open_gapps-arm64-10.0-pico-20200229.zip
10. reboot & test

I get your sentiment - it's feels hard doing this on any Android despite having decades of expert level professional computer experience. But it's really a miracle we can do it at all and we have the good people providing roms and the information needed to install them to thank for that. I think the "brick fear" makes it worse due to the lack of a console port or bios to fall back to like you have on a computer. I think the first post in the thread should contain all the information needed to install the rom but it's a moving target so I guess it's a difficult call to expect it to be maintained.
If I were to call out for one thing, it would be for that page to also include instructions for Linux. Android is Linux after all
(sorry I just realised I wasn't on the havoc thread where the "first page" is - https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-8/development/rom-havocos-3-1-t4043973 )
Thanks for your interest, I just wanted to know if the steps you describe were correct. I had 2 systems destroyed and it's not funny. Hopefully it works

+1 I'm trying to test GSIs on Note 8 (ginkgo) and I'm not succeeding in any way. Phone stuck on bootanimation (or, sometimes, reboot into TWRP).
Does anyone have the steps to success? Thanks.
I can start from scratch (MIUI 11).
Trying to flash a/b gsis of Android 10.
Hi,
I am "building" (first had to fix the LCD etc.) a de-googled DAISY. I managed to unlock the bootloader, install TWRP, and root the original OS (Android One 10).
The problems started when I tried to install a custom ROM (at first Havoc, but other gave the same results). Just as instructed (YT, other pages, here...) I:
- formatted via TWRP
- REBOOT to TWRP
- wipe all except SD
- install ROM from zip
...and at this point I came across an error message
Error applying update: 7 (Error code: : kInstallDeviceOpenError)
Updater process ended with ERROR: 1
Many solutions suggest flashing boot.img from the ROM package, but (WHY?!?) all ROM's ((Havos, crDroid etc.) for daisy have no such file, although other devices have boot.img in their package.
I'm pretty much clueless... :/
Help, and thanks in advance...

Error 1 usually means wrong install package or wrong TWRP.
Are you using TWRP by offain?
[SOLVED]
The whole problem was that TWRP was wrong (not even offain as far as I remember). But I got a HUUUUGE amount of help (MANY THANX!!!!) from opal06 (main maintainer for crDroid on daisy) on Telegram channel dedicated to crDroid on daisy.
So If anyone hase similar problems - go to Telegram group - they will help you!
After flashing right (modified) TWRP versions, evrthng went fine, although I got to admit it was pretty complicated for [unlock + TWRP + custom rom + root] combo. On lavender it was much easier
cya all, good luck!
DISCLAIMERS:
This help is specific for MERLIN devices only !
(Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 and Xiaomi Redmi 10X 4G)
Keep atention. This is an UNOFFICIAL thread.
This thread was based on the thread by Agent_fabulous. Thank you very much !
DON'T ask by PM. If you have any question, reply to this thread.
Keep in mind, nothing is 100% perfect, so you need to read careful
and keep trying before to ask an already answered question.
Keep your backup files safe and secure ! If you can, encrypt them.
If you try to flash in "firmware upgrade" mode, bootloader will be LOCKED again !
Never try to flash in "format all" mode ! Otherwise, you will LOSE all secure and identifying infos for your device. Like IMEI and MAC.
Never try to share your backups or your security and privacy will be compromised.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR ACTIONS.
Sorry for my bad english.
GOOD LUCK

TWRP does work above 12.0.5, I have tested.
New build: https://tdrive.elytra8.workers.dev/image-new.img
Flash like you flash any other custom recovery.
For ADS in MIUI, using debloat tool and removing MSA does the job.

Uhm... hello, newbie here and hopefully in the right thread.
I have a Redmi Note 9 and wanted to install LineageOS. What I have done so far:
Jumped through all the hoops to unlock the bootloader.
Since that erases all user data, I did not bother setting a password in the setup. Just went through it as quickly as possible.
Installed TWRP 12.0.6
Used that to install lineage-17.1-20210209-UNOFFICIAL-merlin.zip from here.
Result: The new system does not boot. I always end up in TWRP again. Even if I specifically go to Reboot -> System, it'll boot into recovery. I think the first boot fails and then it goes into recovery (if I power the device off and on again, it vibrates, the logo comes on, the screen goes black, it vibrates again, the logo shows again, and then I'm in TWRP).
What I have tried unsuccessfully:
Flashing the vbmeta from here.
Erasing the misc partition.
Flashing the old lk from here.
Closing the AVB2.0 after flash (with and without closing DM verity).
Wiping cache, dalvik, data, internal storage, and cache before reinstalling LOS.
Replacing TWRP with PBRP and trying again.
Probably some other things I don't remember. I've been chasing red herrings through this rabbit hole all day.
I also tried to install the ArrowOS build (from here), just to have one more datapoint. After that, the device boot-loops into the bootloader, and I have to manually go into recovery via VolUp+Power. This leads me to believe that it's not the LOS build at fault. It seems more likely that I am a moron and am doing something wrong. I just can't figure out what it is.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hey, Custom roms for Redmi Note 9 need MIUI 12.0.1 Indonesia, or MIUI 12.0.3 global vendor.
Downgrade your phone to the specific MIUI vendor, and then try flashing custom rom.
Here's the link for global 12.0.3
Xiaomi Firmware Updater
The ultimate script that provides firmware packages for Xiaomi devices.
xiaomifirmwareupdater.com
And before you downgrade your miui version, please erase system and vendor to bypass anti roll back.
Use these commands after connecting device in fastboot mode:
fastboot reboot fastboot
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase vendor
fastboot reboot bootloader
Then flash the 12.0.3 global/12.0.1 Indonesia miui version through MiFlash.
Or
You could give flashing 12.0.1 Indonesia vendor in TWRP, and then flashing rom.
If after fastboot reboot fastboot it shows waiting for device, install this driver. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JFYCZ3mu_Y_xpnS7QrmtwqOeFnWg6DO2/view?usp=sharing
Please note that you need to be on stock recovery for fastboot reboot fastboot to work.
Happy flashing
Thank you very much! With that info, I think I finally have it working!
I case it's helpful for future users, here are some issues I encountered along the way:

Is that normal? I do have a partition named 'super' that I can see in the TWRP backup module. Judging from its size, that could be the system partition. I think there's also a vbmeta_system and vbmeta_vendor, did you mean those?

Ok, so I downloaded the full ROM for 12.0.3 global. I'm using Linux, so MiFlash won't work. But the ROM archive I downloaded contained a bunch of partition images and a shell script that would flash them using the fastboot command. I just ran that script. Windows users probably could have run the .bat file that was also included. There were no errors. And after a reboot, MIUI started to boot and presented me with the setup procedure.
I did not complete the setup (I suspect it would have just auto-updated MIUI to something that would have caused problems again) and used the power button to go into the bootloader.
From there, I flashed TWRP again (since it got overwritten by the script mentioned above), went into recovery mode, and tried to install LOS again. First, flashing seemed to hang. The last messages in the log were:
Code:
Installing file '/external_sd/Download/lineage-17.1-20210209-UNOFFICIAL-merlin.zip'
Checking for Digest file...
Target: Redmi/merlin_eea/merlin:10/QP1A.190711.020/V11.0.2.0.QJOEUXM:user/release-leys
And that was it. The border around the progress bar was doing it's busy animation thing and after waiting for 10 minutes, I used the power button to reset the device.
The second attempt went through fine, and now I have LineageOS running on the device. I still need to play around with it some more to see if there are any issues, but the flashing itself seems to have worked.
Again, thank you for your help!

Oh you're using Linux, for Linux the commands is
/.fastboot reboot fastboot
Great to know you were able to flash successfuly. Note that first boot in all roms is a bootloop, you just have to force reboot after a minute of bootlogo showing up or so.
hi i flashed a wrong twrp and now the phone keeps bootlooping, cannot enter recovery or fastboot by power + vol (+ or -)
adb from computer doesn't detect
sp flash tool doesn't move when i hit "download" button
bootloader unlocked, root yes
pc notificates a device connection by sound

Apparentely, you need to flash in EDL mode.
So, you need to bypass the authentication in EDL mode first.
Read this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...d-flash-in-edl-with-no-auth-for-free.4229683/
Newbie Android user here, hopefully i’m on the correct thread...i have a Redmi Note 9 with MIUI Global version 11.0.5 and Magisk version 20.4.
I tried updating Magisk to the latest version using the direct install option but I keep getting an error. I was told I need manually patch the boot.img and flash it but I need to create a magisk_patch.img first from the boot.img.
I read some of the guides on this thread but I’m not sure which one to follow. Also the steps to create the magisk_patch.image shows I need to click the Install button on Magisk then Select and Patch a file. I only have the Update button on Magisk, can I use that instead?
Or if you have other suggestion how to fix my issue. I attached the error I’m getting when I’m updating Magisk.

Newbie Android user here, hopefully i’m on the correct thread...i have a Redmi Note 9 with MIUI Global version 11.0.5 and Magisk version 20.4.
I tried updating Magisk to the latest version using the direct install option but I keep getting an error. I was told I need manually patch the boot.img and flash it but I need to create a magisk_patch.img first from the boot.img.
I read some of the guides on this thread but I’m not sure which one to follow. Also the steps to create the magisk_patch.image shows I need to click the Install button on Magisk then Select and Patch a file. I only have the Update button on Magisk, can I use that instead?
Or if you have other suggestion how to fix my issue. I attached the error I’m getting when I’m updating Magisk.
Thank you in advance for the assistance.

You can't install the magisk using the direct option.
You need to the patch the boot.img file and then flash the magisk_patched.img using fastboot (or spflashtool).

Good work, my friend.
You are welcome
HELP PLS
i first flashed the patched_magisk.img then i got in a twrp boot loop. When i try to reboot into the system i get back to twrp menu.
Then i panicked and went to WIPE and factory reseted,
but it got stuck again. Then i powered it off.
How do i get out of this? I wanted to flash the stock boot.img but the storage folders has strange names
EDIT:
i figured it out what i have done. The data was ecrypted so i formated the data. But now i have another problem:
I installed linageOS from here, but when want to reboot back to system it says
No OS Installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot? i don't undertand why the custom rom didn't install.
I just copied the .zip file with the custom rom in the phone and hit install in TWRP. What did i do wrong?

Steps for flashing vbmeta are same for every device.
You may try to use the search.
Here, you can find patched vbmeta for MERLIN:
[VBMETA][IMG][PATCHED] VBMETA Image Partition: Disabled verity & Disabled verification for MERLIN (Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 / Xiaomi Redmi 10X 4G)
PATCHED VBMETA.IMG for MERLIN by VD171 For what do I need it ? If you try to flash any custom partition, your device can bricks or gets in bootloop. This patch with disabled verity and disabled verification avoid it and need to be flashed once...

no, i mean a full guide for rooting from the beggining to end, for redmi note 9. For example i missed the vbmeta and this resulted in an error. Now i have to flash the stock firmware and wait for another 7 days for it to unlock. For newbies like me, this looks like a mess. If you don't have one, can you please create one? Do it for us, newcomers. Thanks
I have been trying to install custom ROM in realme 6 pro. I followed a youtube tutorial and installed TWRP. Now when I try to wipe the system, it gives the error "unable to mount '/system_root' (invalid argument) and unable to mount '/vendor' (invalid argument)". I tried changing the system format from ext4 to ext2 and even used decryption zips. Nothing works. I can't even get the stock Recovery back to return to built-in ROM. I tried using the orange fox recovery but still got the same error. When I try to wipe using fastboot, it gives the error: "FAILED (remote: Check device console.)". Can someone please help?

Maybe same my device problem pls help me..
You will need to reinstall/flash the stock rom.
Then :
1)I flash TWRP with ADB/Fastboot
(2) boot into twrp recovery
(3) reboot to bootloader
(4) ADB/fastboot to flash Disable DM Varity file
(5) reboot into TWRP
(6) wipe/Format Data
(7) rebooted into recovery
(8) Advance/Fix AVB
(9) installed Magisk
(10) reboot to system
Then you will have the stock rom and have root control to debloat which will greatly improve battery usage time and unlike most custom rom everything will still be working.
IMHO using magisk with exposed module gravitybox for its custom features is smoother and quicker than any of the custom roms at this time.

If it is stuck in a bootloop then press and hold the power button and the volume + (not volume- like to go into fastboot) hold the buttons until the phone shuts off , logo goes away. Reboot to bootloader/fastboot then plug it into the computer running the Realme Flash tool. Also make sure you have the device drivers are installed on the computer. Then wait and give it plenty of time it takes awhile and you will feel that it is stuck at several points but just be patient and let it run.
