[Tutorial][Guide][Redmi 4a][rolex]Things to do before installing custom Nougat ROM - Xiaomi Redmi 4a Guides, News, & Discussion

Disclaimer/Warning: Before you proceed, first take full backup of your device. I'm not responsible if you mess up anything.
Especially, take full backup of all internal data. I can't stress this enough.

I see lots of users having issues with/after installing custom nougat ROM like blackscreen, bootloop, backlight not turning off in lock screen, volte issues etc.
In order to fix that, first you have to install MIUI 9 Global Beta/Developer 7.11.16 Fastboot ROM using Fastboot mode. After that you can install any custom nougat ROM and enjoy.
Step 1: Install MIUI 9 Fastboot ROM
Boot into Fastboot
Install MIUI 9 Fastboot ROM using Fastboot
Reboot
Install MIUI 9 ROM
MIUI 9 Global Beta/Developer 7.11.16 Fastboot ROM: http://en.miui.com/thread-1119728-1-1.html | Direct Download Link.
Fastboot Install using Windows: http://en.miui.com/thread-408889-1-1.html
Fastboot Install using Windows Command Prompt: http://c.mi.com/thread-334-1-0.html
Fastboot Install using Linux: http://en.miui.com/thread-285121-1-1.html (Warning: This guide wipes internal data too, so beware before running the commands blindly.)
It is recommended to wipe internal storage too but its your choice and in that case you have to use the command "fastboot flash all" instead of flashing one by one.
Step 2: Install TWRP Recovery
Boot into Fastboot
Install TWRP using Fastboot
Reboot
TWRP Download: https://dl.twrp.me/rolex/
Reference: https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomiredmi4a.html
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
In the above code, replace twrp.img with the name of the file that you downloaded, like twrp-3.2.1-0-rolex.img.
Code:
fastboot reboot
Step 3: Install Custom Nougat ROM:
After you do these things, you don't need to flash any nougat firmware before installing custom nougat ROM and you can just directly install custom nougat ROM as you did custom marshmellow ROM.
Boot into TWRP Recovery
Wipe Cache, Dalvik, Data & System
Install custom ROM (follow instructions in the appropriate thread)
Reboot
Enjoy!
Update:
If you're still facing issues after doing all these steps, then flash this multi ROM Nougat firmware (Credit to Muralitharan) via TWRP.

Can you make it easier?
---------- Post added at 05:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:20 AM ----------
can I flash the multirom ?

I have no idea.
I think there is difference between flashing via recovery vs fastboot but I'm not sure.
After I did the steps in the OP all custom ROM with nougat kernel works fine without any issues.

can i flesh fatboot rom and twrp without bootloder unloack
can i flesh fatboot rom and twrp without bootloder unloack

Yes u can flash fast boot ROM without bootloader unlock.
Not sure if you can install trwp with locked bootloader.

Hello,
Thank you for the guide.
Can I install the last version (8.1.25) of the MIUI 9 Global Beta ROM? Or we have to install the specified verison 7.11.16 ?
Thank you.

Anything. Its your choice.

[HOW TO][kenzo] Install MIUI 8.0.1.0 Global Stable

I have just installed MIUI 8.0.1.0 and after many tries this is how I managed to do it!
You'll need:
To have your Bootloader Officially Unlocked
Cofface TWRP
Complete Recovery ROM(MIUI 8)
ADB files
1. Two methods of installing Cofface TWRP:
a. If you don't have any TWRP installed:
Extract the ADB files in the same folder as "TWRP.img"
Hold shift and right click in that folder -> Open Command Window Here
Enter fastboot
Type these commands in the Command Window:
Code:
fastboot devices
Since you have already officially unlocked your device, you should have all your drivers installed by now.
If your device shows up with "fastboot" next to it then go on and type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
Code:
fastboot boot TWRP.img
If the name of your Cofface TWRP is different just rename it to "TWRP.img"/type its actual name instead.
b. If you already have another TWRP installed:
Enter recovery mode
Install->Select Image->Choose the Cofface TWRP(TWRP.img) and tick Recovery -> Flash
2. Copy the ROM zip to your SD Card
3. Enter Cofface TWRP
4. Install-> "miui_HMNote3ProGlobal_V8.0.1.0.LHOMIDG_8976c33651_5.1.zip" -> Delete Cache -> Reboot
5. Disable the next two steps(the one with recovery and SuperSU)
6. Enjoy
99% of the OTA updates don't work because MIUI 7's boot image is different from MIUI 8's.
If you have an unofficially unlocked bootloader, use Safe TWRP v2 and if you run into a bootloop after flashing it also flash LazyFlasher(I can't post external links atm)
Please leave a thanks if this helped you and feel free to leave a comment if you have any questions.
If I can't help you, then other users sure can!

If you have an officially unlocked bootloader it should work with Alka too. But I recommend having Cofface img on your SD card just in case Alka fails.

Are you sure you downloaded "Full Package ROM: 8.0.1.0" & you have Cofface TWRP and your bootloader is officially unlocked?
there is like always a xiaomi.eu rom. wouldn't it be easier just installing that instead?
Hi
I have official unlocked bootloader and using cofface twrp. Currently using global dev version 7.1.19. can I install global stable 8.1.1 by using twrp cofface? Thanks

{root} Boot-loader unlock, TWRP flash and Magisk install after updating to Pie

* I'm not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed.
* Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in the products you find here before flashing it!
* YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
* Your warranty could be void if you tamper with any part of your device / software.
* Same statement for XDA.
Needed tools : Backup your phone before following any steps
1. Minimal adb and fastboot
2. official TWRP 3.3 for jasmine_sprout Download img file from twrp website
3. latest magisk manager 19.2 zip file from magisk manager website
First step : Boot loader unlock
1) Tap on build number more than 7 times and unlock developer option in about phone.
2) turn on OEM Unlocking and USB debugging
Now open command windows in adb shell folder and connect your device to computer.
type : 1) adb devies (this should show your device after giving permission in your phone : conformation that your device is
connected)
2) adb reboot bootloader
3) fastboot devices ( conformation that your phone is coonected in fastboot mode)
4) fastboot oem unlock
( after that you need to follow according steps in your phone and grant to unlock phone)
keep in mind this will reset your phone. Afteer reboot again turn on developer options and usb debugging
5) fastboot flashing unlock_critical
( the warning and steps you need to follow again in your phone like in step 4)
this will again reset your phone.Afteer reboot again turn on developer options and usb debugging
Congratulations your bootloader is Unlocked now.
STEP 2. Flashing TWRP and Magisk Install
before that keep in mind As Mi A2 follows A/B boot partition system so DONT DIRECT FLASH TWRP FROM
FASTBOOT.
" Dont forget to turn on developer options and usb debugging "
open command window in adb shell folder and boot your phone in bootloader mode as told earlier and connect to computer.
Copy twrp-3.3.0-0-jasmine_sprout.img to minimal adb and fastboot folder. you can rename it to your convenient name
type : 1) fastboot boot twrp-3.3.0-0-jasmine_sprout.img
or if you renamed it
fastboot boot YourRenameName.img
this will temporarily boot twrp in your Device. As twrp is booted you will be able to see your phone connected in computer
(file transfer mode)
Copy and paste both magiskmanager.zip (current latest stable is 19.2 ) into phone
Flash your downloaded version of Magiskmanager.zip
Reboot your Phone.
Congratulations If nothing goes sideways Your phone is Magisk Rooted.
If you want to flash something using TWRP now is the time Otherwise as Mi A2 has A/B slot form and no Recovery Partition You Cannot flash TWRP permanently.
But You can always boot TWRP from adb and use it.

You May be facing some highly lag issues too. In that case flash stock rom using mi flash tool. In my steps i said that flash twrp.zip file after booting it. But flashing twrp.zip doesnt do anything. if you want to use TWRP you need to boot TWRP everytime from adb.
Also After flashing stock rom i am pretty sure that you will be able to flash custom rom.
follow this guide for flashing custom ROMs

I was on stock pie + may update (10.0.9)
Follow this way , unlock the bootloader via fastboot oem unlock, fastboot flashing unlock it will reboot here, goto developer settings Enable usb debugging
Then do this fastboot flashing unlock_critical It will again reboot
Now, install the magisk app And download the patched boot image from internet Whatever your build no is, mine was 10.0.9 so i downloaded version 10.0.9_boot.img
Open the magisk app, click on install , select and patch a file, Then choose this downloaded patched image, it will flash it successfully, if it don't Then you have mistaken something..
After this there will be a patched.img in download folder Which is just created by magisk, copy this img to pc, Through fastboot Flash it "fastboot boot patched.img"
Now, flash TwrpImage3.3.img through fastboot
When you boot in , Copy and paste your rom, gapps
Now flash twrpVersion3.2.img via fastboot
Clear system,data,caches, Flash the rom in slot B
Now flash the twrp3.2.zip through installed twrp, click on recovery And it will boot to twrp
Now Flash the gapps in slot a (i used nano)
Now flash magisk.zip through twrp
Reboot , That's it!
(Twrp 3.2 is stable for flashing rom and gapps , Just for first time When we coming from stock
Twrp 3.3 latest Gives us MTP transfer, The difference is this in using both of these)
Installation of magisk is the last process, it is part of rom, First installed ur desired rom and then magisk
You said, You installed twrp, as i mentioned above You forgot to do some steps as about patched boot + installation of magisk through patched file etc..
Though you can try to search on google for your next step
patched supported magisk Version x.x.x for mi a2
If you got the file, You are lucky.. otherwise flash the stock rom with mi flash tool
And Start from unlocking bootloader
Magisk Module available.

There is a magisk module available for installing kali nethunter in this device. i never tried installing it but it should work fine. Read proper descriptions before installing it though.

Checklist:
- there is file of <compatible TWRP recovery> in ADB/Fastboot directory with the name you are typing in fastboot command
- ADB drivers installed correctly (both "adb devices -l" and "fastboot devices" return valid results in corresponding phone states)
- only one phone (namely MiA2) is connected to PC
- phone fully unlocked (OEM debugging enabled and PC was previously approved for ADB in phone)
- USB port on MB of PC is USB-2.x or USB-3.x-compatible-with-Mi-A2<which is not true in general>
Several guys says that command "fastboot oem unlock" is old and now we have to write "fastboot flashing unlock" instead, then "critical".
Which is the best way now?
Thank you

[Mi A2] [Android Pie] Unlock Bootloader, TWRP and ROOT.

Hi all,
Since there is no TWRP for the MI A2 in Android Pie we can only use magisk to root.
The problem is that Xiaomi does not release the update zip and we can not patch the boot.img of the last security patch.
I have discovered a method to extract the boot img without root and then be able to patch it to have ROOT!
Nevermind, now TWRP supports PIE...
UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER:
Tap 7 times in build number for enable developer options
Enable OEM Unlock in developer options
Reboot the phone in fastboot:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Unlock the BL:
Code:
fastboot oem-unlock
Unlock critical flashing:
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
Reboot and wait for the phone boot up:
Code:
fastboot reboot
Now you have the bootloader unlocked!
INSTALLING TWRP AND MAGISK:
Download TWRP 3.3.0-0
Boot to the TWRP:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.3.0-0-jasmine_sprout.img
It will ask for decryption password, click on cancel
Swipe for allow system modifications
Go to install and select the Magisk.zip
Install it and reboot
Wait for the phone boots up
Now install Magisk.apk
Enjoy root!

That's because the ROM's are only for Android Oreo.. Wait until anyone compile a ROM for Android pie.
Sent from my Mi A2 using Tapatalk
Where do we get Magisk.zip? From the website? Sorry been away from the rooting scene for a long time.
Also I'm guessing this only use TWRP temporarily?
how does one go about to keep the usual ota after unlocking and flashing magisk?
L.E. does the unlock wipe the data on the phone?

Hi Terresa. Havoc OS, RR, Pixel roms, aren't they pie based roms ? I am getting the same error while flashing any ram using temp TWRP. I also tried going back to stock Orio and followed the same procedure still can't flash any roms . I followed every tutorial on MI A2 forums stil could not manage to install any rom
I can't install the TWRP when I reboot by holding down the volume + key with the "Fastboot reboot" command. The phone restarts normally
After flashing magisk i dont need to flash recovery?

Install method explained
Hello!
Since the install steps provided on OP maybe confusing I thought on sharing here the steps I've made in order to get TWRP working....let's call it a "noob friendly guide", ok?
Here he we go:
0 - Your bootloader must be unlocked. If it's not, then follow step 1 of the instructions provided HERE.
1 - Download both twrp-3.3.1-15-laurel_sprout-mauronofrio.img and twrp-3.3.1-15-laurel_sprout-mauronofrio-installer.zip files present on OP
2 - Download latest Magisk Installer, Magisk Uninstaller and Magisk Manager from HERE.
3 - Copy all of the above to your phone internal memory (since current TWRP doesn't allow sdcard nor USB OTG yet...)
4 - Connect the phone to your PC
5 - Reboot to bootloader
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
6 - Check your current active slot
Code:
fastboot getvar current-slot
7 - Flash TWRP image into the current inactive slot (we do this just to leave the current active slot with no changes...at least for now)
If your current active is slot b, then run:
Code:
fastboot --set-active=a
Or, if your current active is slot a, then run:
Code:
fastboot --set-active=b
And afterwards, run:
Code:
fastboot flash boot twrp-3.3.1-15-laurel_sprout-mauronofrio.img
(of course that img file must be on the same path where you have adb and fastboot...)​8 - Reboot to TWRP:
Code:
fastboot reboot
NOTE: Long press Vol+ button before hitting "ENTER" and leave it pressed until you see the Android One logo (just to force boot into recovery)​
Just a heads up:
Now we are on TWRP booted on the "previously inactive slot". The "previously active slot" continues unchanged. Nothing "bad" really happened until what we decide to do next. If we want, we can just make a TWRP backup of the current slot and nothing else. Afterwards, we could always reboot to bootloader, change to the "previously active slot" again and boot system. If we do this, we continue without TWRP and root but we would now have a TWRP backup of the system present on the "inactive slot". Anyway let's presume you really want to permanently install TWRP and ROOT your device....so let's continue.
9 - While on TWRP, install twrp-3.3.1-15-laurel_sprout-mauronofrio-installer.zip
Note that, by doing this, TWRP will be permanently installed into both slots. This means that, if someday, you want to revert to stock, you'll need to reflash stock boot.img on, at least, one of your slots.​10 - After installing TWRP zip, go to reboot menu, change to the active slot (the one you had on the beginning of these steps) and reboot to TWRP
11 - After TWRP reboots, install Magisk installer zip
12 - Finally, reboot to system
13 - Enjoy
Thank you @mauronofrio and Jyotiraditya Panda for your work on bringing TWRP to Mi A3 (laurel_sprout).
I just hope you're able to fix USB OTG and SDCard bugs and, of course, make this TWRP official.
Cheers!

Uninstall method explained (aka revert to stock)
Get boot.img, system.img and vendor.img from your stock ROM build type (EU or Global) and store them on the same folder you have adb and fastboot
Uninstall all Magisk Modules you have installed (do the same for Substratum themes, if any)
Reboot to TWRP
While on TWRP, Flash Magisk Uninstaller Zip
Reboot to bootloader
Code:
fastboot getvar current-slot
(just to make sure which slot is currently active)
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
(from your stock ROM build type)
Code:
fastboot set_active [B]b[/B]
(or a, if you were on slot b)
Code:
fastboot erase boot
Code:
fastboot erase system
Code:
fastboot erase vendor
Code:
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
(from your stock ROM build type)
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
(from your stock ROM build type)
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
(from your stock ROM build type)
Code:
fastboot reboot
By doing this your phone will now boot to the previously inactive slot, where an older system build is installed, with all your userdata preserved.
Now you just have to wait for the OTA to arrive and install it in order to have the latest stock Rom build installed without TWRP and Magisk.
NOTE:
This procedure is also intended for everyone that want to install latest stock OTA without losing userdata. The Magisk OTA Installation Tutorial could fail if you tampered with system or vendor partitions, that's why I've decided to share this procedure
There's a way to relock the bootloader???

[GUIDE] Official Stock Android 10 flashing , Rooting with magisk and TWRP

In this guide i will go over how to flash stock android 10 if you are unlocked after flashing installing magisk and disabling force encryption :-

Your warranty is now void.
We are not responsible for bricked devices, bootloop... Please
do some research if you have any concerns about mods
included in these GUIDES before using them! YOU are choosing to
make these modifications.
THIS GUIDE IS ONLY FOR THOSE WHO HAVE UNLOCKED THEIR BOOTLOADER
Moving from Custom ROM to Stock 10 :- OR Flashing PE 10
First downlaod Stock 10 CLICK HERE OR Pe 10

Flash ROM Zip
>Now if You Want to be Encrypted you can skip to Formatting Data Step This is for whom you don't want to format and want to be decrypted
>Change Slot and Reboot To Bootloader
>Boot To Official TWRP Image
>Now Flash FBE Disabler (Normally Or Via ADB Sideload ) and Reboot
Now You have to Format Your Data (IMPORTANT IF YOU CHOOSE TO BEING ENCRYPTED)
Change Slot
Now Reboot
IMPORTANT DON'T TRY TO FLASH TWRP INSTALLER JUST AFTER FLAHING THE STOCK ROM OR ELSE YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BOOT ROM IN PE YOU CAN FLASH TWRP INSTALLER BUT IT TWRP WON'T BOOT AS OUR TWRP ISN'T YET READY FOR FBE
IF YOU ARE ALREADY ON STOCK(ENCRYPTED) AND WANT TO INSTALL MAGISK OR WANT TO DECRYPT SO CAN USE TWRP AGAIN
Once you have installed Stock 10 via TWRP in a rush and later you find out nothing is working there no TWRP no magisk and thus you can't move to custom ROM now , well check this out now

STEPS TO INSTALL MAGISK REMOVE DECRYPTION AND USE TWRP (For Stock and Pixel Experience Both)
IN ORDER TO SWITCH TO OTHER CUSTOM ROMs WHICH AREN'T FORCE-ENCRYPTED YOU HAVE TO DECRYPT FIRST !
IF YOU ARE ALREADY MOVING TO A ENCRYPTED ROM THEN YOU DON'T HAVE TO DECRYPT .
Reboot to Fastboot
Now type this code

fastboot -w
This will earse all your data and decrypt
Now wait don't reboot
Now downlaod TWRP image and place it in you platform folder

Coming from a custom ROM (PE 10), is it possible to flash the stock 10 using fastboot, or this will cause issues?

Without TRWP installer. I reboot to bootloader after every single step and boot TWRP.img manually with fastboot boot TWRP.img
So stock recovery is preset
Step by step:
- Boot twrp.img in fastboot from PC "fastboot boot twrp.img"
- Delete all partitions and be sure active boot slot is "A"
- Reboot to Bootloader, NOT Recovery
- Boot twrp.img in fastboot from PC "fastboot boot twrp.img" again
- Install Android 10 zip
- Change active boot slot to "B"
- Reboot to Bootloader, NOT Recovery again
- Boot twrp.img in fastboot from PC "fastboot boot twrp.img" again
- Flash Encryption Disabler zip
- Flash Magisk zip in order
- Reboot! Profit!

Hi, very helpful guide.
But how do you get OTA update when there's a new one? Can you provide the steps to get OTA and then get back to root. Thanks in advance.

Easy!
Just install normally via updater.
But before you restart your phone, install TWRP Retention Script via Magisk Manager to change active boot slot
can i skip installing magisk in this guide to get my banking apps working??

Yes, if you only install official OTA, banking apps work. Why not? Its official and unrooted
But decryption Script will useless without root i think
Im on derp fest Q rom now i want to go to stock 10 i cannot find any latest fastboot file and there is some issues with the mi flash tool as some users were reporting getting dev error
I'm tried using two versions of TWRP(3.2.3-0 and 3.3.1-0) and got two different errors:
• No digest file found (3.2.3-0)
• Error 7 (3.3.1-0)
What should I do? I don't have any ROM's installed
