Does it matter if the ROM is encrupted?
I mean i am on locked bootload, china dev 6.9.9
I want to move to global stable 8.0.1 .. so fastboot rom via EDL should work fine, isnt it?

How do I unlock my bootloader on cm14? You have mentioned in second step to make sure the bootloader is unlocked before flashing MIUI 6.7.21 but MiFlashUnlock cannot unlock the bootloader.

for that u need just 1 modem file to flash.. and everything is fine.

Or just backup every partition with alka before flashing cm14 and afterward restore it (ignore firmware) to have your previous rom back with the data and everything and no flashing required. People just overcomplicate things. I've done this with every single combination of roms and bootloaders ... And it always works.
Miui lp, miui mm,cm13, cm14, aosp, you name it

Yep
For AOSP stock leaked rom
we cant unlock bootloader sometimes, the only way to revert back is fastboot flash via edl
very handy

Guide to switch from Vendor ROM to EU ROM

This is for people who have received their phone with a pre-installed Vendor ROM (MIUI Global Stable 8.0.8.0) and wants to switch to the Unofficial EU ROM. In my opinion, the EU ROM is currently the best ROM without any Chinese bloatware or popups until Xiaomi decides to release an actual Global ROM.
For those who are already on a China Stable ROM, there is already an excellent guide to install TWRP, ROOT, compiled by @underlines. This is only intended for switching from a Vendor ROM as I wasn't able to switch from a Vendor ROM to an official build using the previous guide. You need to be on an official build to be able to use TWRP and flash the EU ROM.
EDIT : The reason why I have mentioned to flash an official build at first is because, TWRP can be unresponsive with some Vendor ROMS. You'll be able to boot TWRP but touch would be frozen. I've tried with both versions of TWRP and it wouldn't work with the Vendor ROM installed on my device. TWRP over the Vendor ROM may work for some users.. For some builds like the one which came installed on my phone, it may not work. If TWRP works for you without being on an official build, you can skip the part where you have to flash an official ROM.
1. You need to have an unlocked bootloader. Please follow instructions on the other guide on how to do this.
2. You need the older version of MiFlash found on this link. Thanks to @Thorin78 for this link.
3. Download and extract fastboot Stable or Dev ROM and extract ROM folder to the C:\ Drive. This is because MiFlash may show a "cannot find file" error if you have a lot of subfolders. To avoid this, its best if the folder is C:\ROM Folder.
4.In the older version of MiFlash, click advanced and change the fastboot script location to the flash_all.bat in your unzipped rom folder.
5.Connect your phone in fastboot mode, click "Refresh" in MiFlash. Once your phone is detected, click "Flash" and it should now successfully flash the official ROM of your choice.
If you wish to be on a Xiaomi Official Stable or Dev ROM, Stop here! If you wish to continue installing the EU ROM proceed with the steps below.
6. Now that you have successfully flashed Official Stable or Dev ROM, use Minimal ADB and flash TWRP RC2 using the instructions in the other guide.
7. Once you are in TWRP, Swipe right to allow System Modifications and copy the forced encryption disabler using MTP. Flash this file to ensure that there are no bootloops.
8. After this step, go to WIPE, Format Storage, type "yes" and then Reboot Recovery. Copy SuperSU and EU ROM to storage and flash. Phone may take a few minutes to boot up and you will successfully boot the EU ROM.
For everything else, please follow the guide posted by underlines.
TWRP EU RC2 works with the China Dev ROM as well. Once you Swipe to Right to allow modifications, don't forget to flash the latest dm-verity and forced encryption disabler script from here. This is to prevent the device going into a bootloop.
These are the steps I followed and I am on EU ROM. Hope this helps people who wish to switch to the EU ROM from the Vendor ROM.

I managed to flash with latest miflash using your guide my bootloader was already unlocked check using:
boot your phone into fastboot and COMMAND PROMPT " fastboot oem device-info "
most are probably unlocked with vendor rom but not all.
Don't try to unlock with this method just check to save sometime.

I guess it also depends on the Vendor ROM and customization which comes installed on your device. Not all Vendor ROMs for this device are the same. I tried everything under the sun with the latest miflash. It would detect device and even give a "success" output but the ROM was never actually flashed. The phone would still be on the Vendor ROM. Its as if some Vendor ROMs have some form of write protection baked in.
I could only get it working with the older miflash.

I'm not saying it was easy, the hard thing was making the unpack ING of the file. Sort of did it twice never had that problem before.

This for people who don't want TWRP, root and dm-verify, just genuine Xiaomi rom with OTA updates and remove vendor rom.

QQ.
I did the following on my Mix and wondering if I am missing anything. I should say that everything "appears" to be working perfectly on the EU rom.
My Mix came with 8.0.8.0 Global (Vendor ROM) and I wanted to move onto the Xiaomi.eu rom. I loosely followed the above guide and did the following steps:
Applied for Unlock
Unlocked the device via MiUnlock
Used Minimal ADB and booted the device into FastBoot
Confirmed device was Bootloader unlocked
Flashed TWRP (latest non-eu build)
Booted to recovery
DID NOT swipe to edit system partition, left that read only
Flashed the latest Weekly Xiaomi.eu build
Wiped Dalvik/Cache
Booted phone
Performed a Factory reset.
All seemed a little too easy and I didnt need to go to an "Official" china ROM first. But I do have a few questions...
Should I have swiped Yes to enter Read/Write mode for the system partition and run a dm-verify? (I am not interested in Rooting the device at this stage)
Should I have performed a System clear in TWRP before installing Xiaomi.eu ontop of the Vendor ROM?

Wouldn't worry about it the vendor ROMs aren't poison, not sure about dm-verify if you kept read only. I would of swiped then flashed dm-verify but didn't mean I know what I'm doing.

This is because some Vendor ROMS have some compatibility issues with TWRP. Touch screen wouldn't work on TWRP. I tried both TWRP versions and couldn't get touch to work.
Finally, I flashed the China Dev ROM and then used TWRP RC2 and touch functionality worked.
As some users below have pointed out that they could get to EU without flashing the one of the official builds, I guess it depends on the amount or type of vendor customizations applied on your device.

Which version do you own? I was wondering if this would work with the 6GB as well.

This works with both versions. The ROM is compatible with both variants as the size of memory and storage doesn't affect compatibility.
I have the 6\256 variant.

Thank you. It worked. I fastboot twrp then factory reset the device and flashed the eu rom. All good. My bootloader was unlocked by the vendor.

Can someone please give me some advice? Just got the phone a couple hours ago. I took a picture of the info page. Based on the screenshot am I on the vendor ROM or official? I'm thinking I'm on Vendor because it has GAPPS already included.
If I'm on Vendor ROM and want to get to rooted EU Rom I can follow directions in the OP right?
How do I know is if my bootloader is already unlocked? Many thanks

Vendor (there is no Global ROM for Mix). You should unlock your bootloader (check if it's already unlocked using "fastboot oem device-info"), flash TWRP, wipe and flash EU

I was trying to flash official lineage os downloaded from official website through twrp but ended up with an error i can't figure out what to do of. i am uploading screenshot of twrp. help.

Are you coming from Cos 12.1 ?
Than you need to flash ZUI 2.5 ROM first or cm-13 ROM .
Because even if you flash nogout some problem like sim1 will stay always active and sim2 will be greyed out.

Error 7 is caused by the custom recoveries. It occurs both on CWM and TWRP. Just wipe the whole phone and via ADB boot it to recovery (Command 'adb reboot recovery' -- without quotes.) Then copy the ROM to internal storage and now flash. It will work like a charm.

Huh? How will that help? Why do need a 6.0 M ROM before you flash nougat? You can't dirty flash Lineage. It'll end in a boot loop. You have to wipe and flash. So how will the ROM that was installed before influence nougat flash?

OTA update on unlocked and rooted device

I have a well working Note 7 with unlocked and rooted 10.3.5.0 Global PFGEUXM (TWRP recovery and magisk).
Today I got the OTA notification to update ROM to 10.3.6.0.
What I will lose if I update?
What's the best way to proceed?
Thank you

Nothing will be lost from a regular OTA Just check around for any bugs or problems that other people are having if any? And update if you like.

You have to download the full rom then go to twrp and wipe cache and dalvik flash the rom and magisk without reboot to system. After the flash of magisk you can reboot to the system. If you don't flash magisk before rebooting MIUI overwrite the twrp with the stock recovery and you have to reinstall twrp with fastboot

If you get a compatibility error when flashing the rom just delete from the rom zip the file compatibility.zip

You're welcome. I don't think it's needed the disable_dm-verity (but also i don't think that's a bad thing if you reflash it). If you want to thanks somebody in xda forum just press the thanks button (the ok button).

Hi!
I am new here so please don't be angry for my next questions
I just want root my Redmi Note 7 and keep OTP updates.
I read so many threads and this is my conclusion:
First I must apply for unlocking bootloader. Then flash TWRP recovery from here. After this flash Magisk through TWRP and that is it!
When phone notifies me that there is a new software update, I must download recovery rom from here, put it in internal memory, flash it and flash immediately Magisk again (flashing Magisk is mandatory after every software update to keep root).
Can anybody confirm that this is right way?
Thank You in advance.

Another thing: if you get a compatibility error when flashing the rom just delete from the rom zip the file compatibility.zip

Can I do that in TWRP or I must unpack rom on computer and pack it as zip again?

I think that you can do that from twrp but i'm not 100% sure. From computer you don't need to unpack and repack, just open the zip with 7zip or unrar (i'm on linux and don't know which program you use for zip files) and delete the file

Are you sure you downloaded the right rom? Error 7 is a mismatch of the firmware

Just come to say that everything went fine.
I didn't need to wait for unlock bootloader. I bought phone 2 weeks ago and using it normally and when I start unlock procedure it unlock without waiting time (I saw that someone must wait 720 hours!!).
I flash twrp and magisk (I had fingerprint lock so after flashing I did data erase) and now I have rooted phone

So, I have a my Redmi Note 7 keeps telling me that there is a new update which is V10.3.10.0.PFGMIXM
I didn't want to install it since I was happy with my phone. But now the notification is not going away and it is always there. So I tried to install it from OTA but since my phone is unlocked and has TWRP on it, the update can't be installed.
My questions are:
- Should I download the rom and flash it through TWRP?
- How should I flash it without being have to make a factory reset? Is it posible not to loose any data? And if so, is it bad to flash it just like that?
- There is a kernel which is called EVIRA that I want to flash, too. So the order should be:
Rom + Kernel + Minsk, is that correct?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: There are 2 versions of the new rom:
Recovery Rom and Fastboor Rom.

What is the difference? Which one should I download?

1) download the full recovery rom
2) reboot to twrp
3) wipe dalvik art/cache and cache
4) flash the rom, the kernel and magisk in this order. Don't reboot to system until you have flashed magisk
5) reboot to system
6) enjoy
If you get a compatibility error when flashing the rom just delete the file compatibility.zip from the rom zip

Is updating ota with full recovery rom via twrp erase internal data or installed app?

If you do an update there should be no data loss however it is always recommended to have a backup of your data
