For those people who really want to install STOCK MIUI 9 GLOBAL STABLE ROM through TWRP Recovery. Do read on
This guide works for Mi MAX Helium [MI Max Prime 64/128 GB] also with locked bootloader and TWRP. Should also work for MI MAX Hydrogen [MI Max 32 GB] provided the ROM described in step 1 below has to be Hydrogen MIUI ROM.
I will explain the steps in the manner as described below :
Step 1 : You need to download the recovery ROM Zip from the below mentioned link :
Link for MI MAX Hydrogen [MI Max 32 GB] : http://bigota.d.miui.com/V9.2.1.0.NBCMIEK/miui_MIMAXGlobal_V9.2.1.0.NBCMIEK_9b0680b676_7.0.zip
Link for MI MAX Helium [Mi Max Prime 64/128 GB]: http://bigota.d.miui.com/V9.2.1.0.NBDMIEK/miui_MIMAX652Global_V9.2.1.0.NBDMIEK_89f4a2cce2_7.0.zip
Step 2 : Extract the downloaded Recovery ROM file through winrar, winzip, 7z etc to any folder
and open the extracted ROM Folder in Windows Explorer [for those without any PC extract the ROM and open the extracted ROM folder in any file explorer and delete all files inside the folder "FIRMWARE"
[this does not update the firmware since for those with locked boot-loader and TWRP, this should keep the phone booted with TWRP and Locked Boot-loader]
Step : 3 Now zip all the files in the extracted ROM folder and rename the zip to MIUI9.zip [or whatever name you may fancy] and you are ready to go.
Step 4: copy the zip package as described in Step 3 [MIUI9.zip or whatever name you have saved] to the internal memory of your phone. At this point please download SuperSU 2.82 zip and copy to your phone's internal memory as you will be needing it.
Step 5: Boot into TWRP Recovery and go to Wipe > Advanced Wipe > select the FOUR partitions namely : data, system, cache and davlik cache and wipe them clean
Step 6 : Go to "Install" menu of TWRP Recovery and install the ROM file MIUI9.zip or whatever name you have given to the zip file as described in step 3 which you have copied to your internal memory of the phone as described in step 4
Step 7: These steps are very vital. Please pay attention and do as described. Failure to follow these steps might result in boot-loop or soft-bricked devices. Go to Wipe Menu of TWRP Recovery select Wipe > Advanced Wipe >> select the TWO partitions namely : cache and davlik cache and wipe them clean
Step 8 : Go to "Reboot" Menu of TWRP Recovery and select Recovery option. This will reboot the phone back to Recovery Mode in TWRP Recovery
Step 9 : Once rebooted back in TWRP Recovery - Go to "Install" Menu of TWRP Recovery and install Super Su 2.82.zip as downloaded and copied to your internal memory of the phone as described in step 4. This will ensure that DM Verity and other force encryption are patched.
Step 10 : Go to "Wipe" Option of TWRP and again select Advanced Wipe and wipe clean the TWO Partitions - Cache and Davlik Cache.
Step 11 : After wipe is complete please reboot back into TWRP Recovery by selecting Reboot > Recovery - Do not reboot back into system as the ROM file contains the file "Recovery from boot.p" which will wipe away TWRP Recovery. Hence, if you want to keep TWRP Recovery reboot back into TWRP Recovery
Step 12 : Select "Mount" Option and mount system partition in TWRP if it is not already selected/mounted.
Ste 13: Now select "Advanced " Option in TWRP Menu and select "File Manager". Go to system and delete the file "Recovery from boot.p" and then after deleting this file , you may reboot into system and enjoy rooted MIUI 9 on TWRP Recovery.
I hope you might enjoy stock rooted rom miui 9 on mi max. Enjoy and Cheers !!!!

Hello everyone
i spent 10hours from my weekend to try to flash a Xiaomi.EU Firmware to my Global Mi 9T. I didn't understand why it's not working, i flashed in the past several xiaomi devices with other firmwares.I am frustrated and i hope so someone can tell me what i do wrong. Here are the steps which i tried:
My Xiaomi Mi 9T is unlocked.My target is to flash Xiaomi.EU 9.8.15 to my device with actually Global 10.3.12
1. i copied the zip file from Xiaomi.EU 9.8.15 to the internal storage.
2. i installed with adb the "Greek" Version from TWRP to my device (*i saw this list https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-9t/how-to/twrp-versions-xiaomi-mi-9t-t3955946 )
3. I installed the zip file with TWRP. I installed normal without disable something. At the end of the installation i saw something with "unconventional vendor.." or something like this. i am not sure if this is the problem.
4. After the installation i reboot my device. I saw for a short time "Redmy by Xiaomi" and after that the device start automatically in the fastboot bootloop.
I reinstalled my device serveral times with Mi Flash and installed Global 10.3.12 again to try the same steps again. One time i cleaned cache/dalvik but the problem is the same.I am hanging on a fastboot bootloop and have no idea what the problem can be.
I will be so thankful for every piece of idea or information what i do wrong.
Thank for an answer, have a great day !
Hey.
I will write the steps I followed and flashed succesfully.
• Install and boot to TWRP
• Format data
• Reboot TWRP
• Factory reset
• Reboot TWRP
• Install xiaomi.eu ROM (I used an USB OTG) (you can just connect it to your computer and copy the files)
• Reboot system
These are extra steps I did before reboot
• Install Magisk
• Install Dm Verity and Disable ForceEncrypt
• Reboot system
And I used the same TWRP (greek). After a minute, it booted succesfully (rooted and unencrypted).
Dear Schnedi
Do you know anything about mount or unmount partitions at twrp?
When i tried to flash the miglobe rom with the greek twrp It says that the system partition was unmounted.

is it perhaps encrypted? try flashing dm verity, wipe everything, reboot twrp, and it should let you flash whatever
No, It wasn't encrypted...twrp showed everything! Mystery!!

1- Yes, even after format data, your computer will recognize your device.
2- No, with those steps I installed eu weekly over global stable.
3- No, they are installed after install the ROM
4- Magisk: https://github.com/topjohnwu/magisk_files/blob/master/canary_builds/magisk-release.zip and DM: https://zackptg5.com/android.php#disverfe

Hi Schnedi
I think i have now a bigger problem....
after get into TWRP, i choose "advance settings" and select anything like delete cache, dalvic, system and more... only i didn't select USB-OTG.
After that i restart the device to flash the Xiaomi.EU Rom... but now i am again in a fastboot bootloop. And Mi Flash Tool can't recognize my device to flash global room. It seems look like de USB Debug Modus is now deactivated in my device.
When i connected my device to windows pc, i see the message that a usb device is connected but the drive is unknow.
Do you have any idea ? Or is that a problem which user called "My device is bricked" -.- ....
Thanks someone for help.

Hi Schnedi, thanks for your guide!
I´m evaluating the option to unlock and root my Mi 9T Pro new device (i´m looking about what I will lose if I go ahead with that, like NO NFC, Netflix, etc), but basically the steps you followed are:
• Unlock the bootloader
• Install and boot to TWRP
• Go inside the WIPE menu and click on "Format data" and type YES
• Reboot into TWRP
• Go inside the WIPE menu and this time swipe to the right to perform a "Factory reset"
• Reboot TWRP
• Go inside the INSTALL menu, click on "select image" and Install xiaomi official Global ROM (I used an USB OTG) (you can just connect it to your computer and copy the files) and without rebooting/restarting yet.....then
• Go back to the INSTALL menu, this time select the Magisk.zip file and do the same with the
• Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_08.18.2019.zip file and then...
• Reboot system?
Am I right?
Just dont want to mess with this.
Thanks in advance!!!
Ale.

i repaired now my mi 9T with Mi Flash tool and with the Global Version and tried serveral times some of your steps but it didn't work.
- After installed twrp greek, i format cache, dalvic, system and Flash the Xiaomi.EU 9.8.15 rom. Also one time without delete "system". Then i would restart but i get every time a message from TWRP "No OS installed!" , why? I restarted anyway and i see again for a short time "Redmi by Xiaomi" and then again the fastboot loop.
- Then again Mi Flash & Global to repair it.
- I didn't install magisk. Is that necessary ? I know after a restart the TWRP will be disabled but i think with a one time twrp installation and this steps normally the Xiaomi.EU shuld be flashed correctly.
- Or is the problem that the Xiaomi.EU Version 09.8.15 is lower than my installed Global Version 10.3.12 to flash ?
Thanks someone for an idea -_-
FIIIIIIIIINALLLLLLLY !!! Now i have TWRP permanently on my device without fastboot bootloop and with the Xiaomi.EU 9.7.25
1. I flashed before the Mi 9T 10.3.9.0 Global Rom with the Mi Flash Tool "click clear all data" in Mi Flash Tool ----> AND NOT "Clear & unlock" , if you do this, your bootloader will be unlocked again.
2. After you set up your device, copy the Xiaomi.EU 9.7.25 zip file into your internal storage, enable USB debugging and choose by USB connecting ---> File transfer
2. Follow this steps from this site: https://miui.blog/redmi-k20/flash-twrp-root-mi-9t-proven-steps/ ( i choose to install without magisk, but there is also a step with magisk)
3. Be sure you downloaded the Updated information about twrp in the middle of this site with "unofficial build of twrp".
4. After you are into twrp: just click "wipe" and select the "Swipe to Factory Reset ( wipes data,cache and dalvic )
5. After that, not reboot, just install directly the Xiaomi.EU 9.7.25 zip file in twrp.
6. After that, delete cache & dalvik and restart your device.
7. Welcome to your new custom Rom and twrp is also permanently installed.

I skimmed through this thread so I might have missed something, but as far as I can see the only thing you changed to get it working is installing the russian 4PDA TWRP version instead of the Greek TWRP version?

THIS WAS AMAZING... BUT something strange is happening...
Without flashing Dm Verity and Disable ForceEncrypt zip after the ROM I was not able token boot the Custom ROM, my phone was kipping me on Recovery with all data crypted.
With this zip I can finally boot my ROM (Havoc OS), but all the data on SDCARD partition are still crypted!! I installed a file manager from the play store and what I get are a bunch of strange folders with silly names in the root of the phone... I cannot save a screenshoot because says me that my memory is full or I haven't an SDCARD.
How to solve this?
Hello guys

Use only 4pda TWRP. Follow the same steps you did like explained, but after flashing the ROM, before rebooting, in TWRP, go to Advanced and click on Rm avb-verity&forceencrypt, when it's done, restart.

I am on latest eu stable and use greek TWRP (3.3.1_12-08) basically i did the same steps as you tried to do.
After format data and sucessful reboot to TWRP there is no need to wipe anything.
For greek TWRP i recommend an USB-OTG device with latest MIUI by Xiaomi.eu 10.3.15 stable on it.
In TWRP install the SW from USB_OTG
Reboot to system, wait 2-4 min and averything should be working.
4dpa TWRP is also working fine, i tested both.

plus or minus:
"Dm-verity and Forced Encryption Disabler. Many Android ROMs have become more and more secure. Many devices have been equipped with new system security mechanism to protect any advanced modification to the system itself. One of the known mechanism is Device Mapper Verity, also known as dm-verity"

Hello your phone is a global or EEA ?
What's the difference between global and eea?
Anyway I think is global version
Hello together,
after 3 Days of reading and searching and testing solutions, I have to ask you if you can solve my problem.
I can't find the reason by myself, because I'm new with this topic. I want to install a Custom ROM on my Huawei P 8 Lite Alice from 2015, but everytime I flash any Custom ROM which should match, it ends in a bootloop (huawei logo, then logo custom rom, then huawei logo etc....).
My device:
Huawei P8 Lite ALE L21 from 2015 - Alice
Built number before start this "project": ALE-L21C432B634
Android 6
Emui 4.0.3
Bootloader unlocked with code generated by dc-unlocker
No Root
My prefered Custom ROM is Lineage OS 14.1 and I tried to flash it following the steps in this thread:
[url]https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/development/rom-lineageos-14-1-p8-lite-t3824247[/URL]
1. step - Flash TWRP
First Problem was to install the TWRP 3.1.1 linked in this thread:
[url]https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/orig-development/twrp-t3583180[/url][/URL]
To flash the TWRP image with adb caused no problem. When I boot into recovery, TWRP starts, but when I touch anything on the screen (like swipe to unlock) the System boots (With OS installed it boots the OS and without it stucks at huawei logo). Booting again into TWRP is no Problem.
I solved this problem with a TWRP image 3.1.0-1 from this forum:
[url]https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/root-custom-roms-modding-fuer-huawei-p8-lite.2476/huawei-p8lite-neues-inoffizielles-twrp-3-1-0-1-von-surdu_petru-xda.826139.html[/URL]
The thread references on the same XDA thread mentioned above, but it is linked to another version of TWRP image. This Version 3.1.0-1 is working good.
2. step - flash EMUI 4.1
I flashed the EMUI Update B896 with TWRP. In the thread to the Lineage OS 14.1 mentioned above, it is described that you need this update. I used the linked .zip.
Steps:
1. Wipe Data, internal storage, system, Dalvik Cache, Cache (all except micro sd card).
2. Format Data
3. Reboot into TWRP
4. flash .zip from SD card
5. Wipe Davlik Cache and Cache
5. Reboot System
After that :
Android 6
Build number: ALE B896
EMUI: 4.1
The updated ROM works good.
3. Step - Flash Lineage OS 14.1
Steps:
1. Wipe Data, internal storage, system, Dalvik Cache, Cache (all except micro sd card).
2. Format Data
3. Reboot into TWRP
4. flash .zip from SD card
5. Wipe Davlik Cache and Cache
5. Reboot System
Result Boot Loop :victory:
Trouble shooting:
I tried to install different TWRP versions, but only the TWRP 3.1.0-1 works.
I useb adb sideload to flash the Lineage
I flashed the EMUI 4.03. I had before and than Lineage 14.1 (EMUI works, but Lineage doesn't)
I wiped dalvik cache and data, cache after flashing Lineage, to fix the bootloop
I flashed versions of Lineage OS 14.1 from different dates and different download websites
I flashed different Custom ROMS - all the same Problem except Lineage 13.0. Lineage 13.0 boots till it is ready to "preparing" apps and than boots again.
Now I don't know what do do and would be very thankful to get some new ideas to try or perhaps a solution
Thank you! :highfive:
The ROM needs Emui 4.1 B895/B896 update to be installed first
Then unlock bootloader, flash twrp then flash ROM
Thank you for your help. I'll try this. So I have to lock bootloader again first?
No. You flash the update with twrp

Maybe I described it not so good in my first post but I think I did it already exactly like that.
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Flash TWRP
3. Flash Emui 4.1 update B896 ( its working on my phone now)
4. Flash TWRP again
5. Flash Custom Rom ( evertime the result is a bootloop)
Or did I overlook anything?
Sorry I didn't read that part where you flashed emui 4.1
Lineage os 14.1 works for me.
Did you try Resurrection Remix OS

Thank you very much, that you tried to help me Im happy about all suggestions.
Yes I tried RR and Paranoid, but its the same Problem. I'm wondering that the EMUI Roms which are not officially from Huawei work and any custom rom does not. Maybe there is a Problem with the structure of my system but I dont know anything about this stuff and how to find out the reason for my Problem:laugh:
Maybe you know a command for adb or android terminal app to check if everything is ok?
