Can't flash oreo roms - Xiaomi Redmi 3s Questions & Answers

Hi,
I have a problem installing 8.1 oreo roms on my phone. I follow standard procedure: wipe dalvik, cache, system, data -> install rom + gapps -> wipe cache. After my phone restarts, it displays rom logo, but doesn't load (even after 15-20 minutes of waiting). All I can do is load in fastboot and restore my backup. I use twrp 3.2.1-0, unofficial 8.1 pico gapps from 2018/01/30.
So far I tried:
-Installing rom and gapps separately.
-Installing rom, rebooting, installing gapps.
-Installing rom + gapps, then wiping data.
-Installing rom + gapps, then not wiping anything.
-Factory reset, then install rom + gapps.
-Installing rom + different gapps versions.
Additional notes:
-At one point I successfully installed NitrogenOS (about a month ago) and it is my current rom and backup. But I can't clean flash it again.
-When I install rom only (without any gapps) it boots up fine without errors or long loading.
Can anyone help?

Same problem I am also facing. Using Pixel experience ROM but now not able to flash cosmic official rom...remaining on bootanimation

Thanks for answer. I tried that method too, but it still didn't work for me. I recently tried clean flash with gapps from https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-redmi-3s/development/rom-lineageos-15-1-t3718757 and it worked flawlessly. So maybe it's an issue with some gapps packages?

I also have the exact same problem.
Flashing ROM without gapps works perfectly.
adding gapps package, no matter if its pico aroma or mini, it results in stuck on boot animation.
wiping after flashing also did not work.
once made pixel experience boot, using it since...ota update worked without a problem.
any other suggestions?

Try this nano package https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=889964283620771808. It's the only one that worked for me.

Magisk stable (if preferred if not next >>>)
Magisk beta (always flash after stable)
Busybox flashable zip (if needed)
Mods such as MIUI cam mod
Font package
Wipe to factory reset
Reboot
After 1st boot
Reboot to TWRP
Install Magisk modules ( USN or Viper4android etc)

ftfy. But before this ensure that:-
1. Non corrupted ZIPs. Avoid if possible from using mobile data. A slower yet stable WiFi yields better success rate.
2. Currently this unofficial opengapps' builds works better and are more current.

I didn't need to format data on Oreo nos

As mentioned in other threads on this topic, I just wanted to mention here as well that I am also affected by these Oreo boot loops and haven't found a solution yet. I somehow managed to get PixelExperience to install once, but downgraded now to a Nougat build for other reasons (better battery and GCamMod compatibility).

I am using 3.2.1-0 twrp. Rom itself flashes fine, it's the gapps that create infinite boot.

Exact Same issue Here...

I have same problem too .. can't boot in to any Oreo ROM with Gapps .. really isn't any solution here?

This might not be a proper solution, but here's what I did:
1) Wipe data, cache, dalvik, system
2) Flash rom + gapps(I used NitrogenOS and pico gapps)
3) Wipe data again and restore data from backup(I restored data from previous build of NitrogenOS, so I don't know if restoring from different rom will be ok)
4) Boot into rom, ignore any "stopped working" errors and go to Settings-System-Reset options-Erase all data(Not sure if this will erase internal storage, backup just in case)
After that phone booted up and and did first time installation.

Can someone upload me some backup? Pixel Experience would be a best ! Thanks a lot

Anyone have an idea what the problem might be?
I'm facing the same problem. I have a Redmi 3S (international, 3GB version). Doesn't matter what Oreo ROM I try (clean install), they all get stuck in bootloop on boot animation. It doesn't get far enough in the boot process to do a logcat with ADB, so I'm not able to post it.
I'm using TWRP 3.2.1-0 but have tried Red Wolf recovery as well and it yields the same results... I don't think it's a gapps issue since I've tried booting several ROMS without installing gapps.
I have rebooted several times while it's still in the boot process, remounted system in TWRP, wiped everything, ...
If anyone has an idea to get the logs, fire away. Can't boot so can't install liveboot or something like that.

bump

any solution?

The Problem still occurs...
Flashed PE successfully once, but since i went Back to official Nougat lineage os, No Oreo Roms can be booted with gapps

Problems (Bootloop & Other) after flashing offical cm 14.1 on Oneplus Two

After I downlaoded the offical cm 14.1 nightly to my oneplus 2, I flashed. When starting the phone, i got the notification, that google play store and their service were stopped. So i went back to the recovery TWRP and wiped the dalvik cache and regular cache. After I did this, the phone went into a bootloop and i dont know how to fix this.
Hopefully I can repair the issue asap cause its my daily driver ands its important
It sounds like your data partition contains data structures from older CM13 or derivate ROM. In that case you will have to clean flash to get it going without bugs and boot problems. Also make sure you flash the latest nano or micro package of Gapps for 7.1 ROM 64-bit.

1. Download latest GAPPS for 7.1 (ARM64). Here -> http://opengapps.org
2. Enter TWRP & Connect the phone to a PC (you can still access phone storage in recovery)
3. Copy GAPPS zip.
4. In TWRP go to "Wipe" & wipe Data + Cache + Dalvik Cache (Your internal storage won't be wiped)
5. Flash CM 14.1 zip.
6. Flash downloaded GAPPS.
7. Reboot System! Done!

Soft bricked when updated to CM 14

Hi,
I'm using CM13 on my xiaomi redmi 2. This morning I installed the weekly update from 25th of December 2016 from the update manager, without realising that it was actually a new ROM, CM 14. The installation went well but gapps was giving much trouble. I decided to install gapps for Android nougat, but couldn't get into TWRP. In the end I installed a CM13 version from the update manager, in the hope that everything would go back to normal. As a result my phone went soft-bricked and wasn't even able to connect it with adb/fastboot from my desktop (ubuntu 14.04). Eventually I've managed to get into TWRP and now I have the possibility of wiping out Cache partition and Dalvik Cache, and install a ROM of CM 13, but I would like to investigate the chances of getting back the phone without losing all my data and apps. Is there anyway to do this?
Thanks.
Bro if you have got TWRP working right then you might already have CM 13 Zip files and gapps in the phone too. Try Clean Installing the Rom (ps don't select storage in advanced wipe option in Twrp , only select DATA , SYSTEM , CACHE & DALVIK to wipe). Your photos,videos,whatsapp chat backup will be saved. Try above method and let me know if it work. If not then you have flash MIUI rom using fastboot method to get your device back.

Phone boots into recovery after flashing an OTA

Hi,
I have been using Derpfest on my Redmi Note 6 Pro for a long time. To flash the latest version, I wiped cache, dalvik cache and data (as per their instructions) and then flashed the full zip. For some reason, the phone does not boot anymore, it goes into Mi logo, reboots, and then boots into recovery.
I have tried clearing data, dalvik, cache, system and internal storage and then flashing two different custom ROMs (Derpfest and HavocOS) but it still does not work.
Can someone please help me recover my phone?
Thanks

This worked, thank you so much. It's so bad I wasted whole day on this .-.
Flash the last miui rom. Recovery Edition. https://c.mi.com/thread-2959490-1-0.html?t=1585141449432&utm_source=share
Boot up and than install the rom you want.

The latest Derpfest uses a new kind of encryption (FBE). This requires formatting data if you were on an earlier version (or any other ROM) with FDE. This really should have been stated clearly in the Derpfest instructions and changelog (perhaps it was - I don't know). If you were using OrangeFox Recovery, you might have seen something (in red) about Android Rescue Party, advising clean-flashing the ROM.

Most custom roms dont work for me - Am i doing something wrong?

Hello! Since i got this device, every time i try to install any custom rom, sometimes i have a good luck and one of those works, but other times they dont, i just get an "Android Setup keeps failing" so i cant even do the initial setup. The only roms that worked for me for now are the PE BS and Corvus, i tried LOS, PE, Havoc and almost any other rom and i get this problem, tried roms with and without gapps, different gapps versions and build but i just keep getting this problem.
The way i install a rom its like this:
- Wipe dalvik, data, cache and system
- Format data
- Reboot recovery
- Flash latest fw
- Flash rom
- Reboot Recovery
- Flash magisk
And i just keep getting this issue :c skipping magisk but i just get the same problem. I dont know if someone have or had this problem and know how to solve it.
Thanks in advance!

When you say "flash latest fw" what do you mean? Latest MIUI firmware? If yes why? You wipe everything just to install the firmware again?
It should be:
- Wipe dalvik, data, cache and system
- Format data
- Reboot to recovery (TWRP)
- Flash ROM
-Flash Gapps if wanted and not included in custom ROM
- Flash magisk
- Boot to system

Yeah thats what i mean, and i flash it everytime because those times that i skipped that the rom didnt even booted, so i just assumed that its necessary. But also, tried the way you say it and still got the same result.
I think that i need to flash MIUI by fastboot for something like a "clean flash" because y tried everything even using the zip to skip the encryption but... Nothing, still the same :c

Best should be to follow the instructions by the ROM developer,
for example Arrow OS:
How to install:
Reboot to recovery
Wipe System , Cache, ART Cache and Data
Flash the ROM
Flash any addons (GApps, Magisk...)
Format data if you are encrypted
Reboot
(Formatting data is later here)
Or Bliss ROM:
First Time Install / Clean Flash
0. Flash proper firmware, latest firmware for your device variants.
1. Reboot to Recovery
2. Format data
3. Wipe system
4. Flash the ROM (DO NOT WIPE VENDOR, EVER)
5. Reboot to System
6. Reboot to Recovery
7. Flash Magisk (Optional)
8. Reboot to System

Best may be to ask a ROM developer by PM what could be the problem. I'm still on stock so my knowledge about it is more theoretical.

Vendor Partition is missing in Wipe menu in TWRP

I flashed TWRP recovery I used last week, to install SparkOS and I do remember following a tutorial that said wipe Dalvik, Cache, Data, System and Vendor, which I did successfully and installed the custom rom. I didn't last much and reverted to Stock Rom.
Cut to yesterday I flashed the same recovery as last time, and when I went to wipe the partitions I didn't find Vendor. Checked Mount menu clicked on Vendor it didn't show up under Wipe.
Should I ignore this and continue with installing my custom rom after wiping (Dalvik, Cache, Data and system only) or this is a problem and I am not able to install any custom rom until I wipe Vendor Partition?
It may cause problem or maybe not. Try Orange Fox recovery or any other recovery which supports to wipe vendor data and then flash your Custom Rom correctly as in tutorial.

I followed it step by step, but I'm gonna try different versions and see if shows up. Otherwise I'll revert back to stock and hang my hat.
