Bootloop after flashing dolby - Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers

I was on RR rom. I tried to install Dolby Atmos via twrp. After that phone stuck at bootanimation of RR. Can't find cache partition after that(see attachment). Then again I installed magisk and when I tried to wipe cache and dalvik cache, error occurs, can't find partition path cache(see attachment again). Will try to flash fastboot rom in 3 days. Can anyone solve this issue via twrp only? Thanks in advance.

I tried Dolby on RR rom too. I was unsuccessful but on the bright side it works on stock rom!!!
If you want Dolby to go back to stock and root and flash Dolby.
By the way its ****ING AMAZING!

You will get always the error from cache partition, as this phone don't have a cache partition, so it's normal that you get this error when you wipe cache & dalvik option after flashing something

Thanks for the info. I just clean flashed the rom and everything is working fine now. I came to know that this rom has A/B partition which was causing a problem. Now I got it. Thanks again!

On RR you have to flash Dolby two times and it will be working.

Ok so I had to wipe everything and installed the rom again, then the phone booted up. Any thoughts what made the phone to bootloop? I didn't mess around with anything. Just tried to install dolby.

Can't flash oreo roms

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?

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

Redmi note 7 stuck on boot image

I was using PE rom and I flashed a kernel and wiped cache and dalvik, after rebooting i couldn't turn on my mobile data for some reason. I went back to orange fox recovery and wiped system, cache, data, dalvik, vendor. Then i tried rebooting but it says no os installed. I used my other phone to download the latest PE rom and saved it on my sd card so i can flash it on my phone. I wiped cache, data, system, dalvik and vendor again before flashing the PE rom. After i flashed the rom im stuck on the boot image of PE i dont know why. Anyone knows how to fix this?
Is bc i wiped my phone's firmware too and thats the reason why my phone wont boot completely?
My device is redmi note 7. Thank u in advance

OMG!
1. You should never wipe system or vendor.
2. You should never wipe the firmware. Why on earth would you want to do that?
3. Format the data partition; reboot the recovery; flash a working firmware image (if you did indeed wipe the firmware); flash PE; hope for the best

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.

Before installing rom in twrp, the system entry is never deleted, the Dalvik / Art Cache cache, Data, Cache is cleared, rom is installed and Data is formatted.
I am not understanding... just wiped Dalvik/ART Cache, Data, Cache withoud problems, but System still can not be wiped... I format Data too without problem... what I should do now?

You must first install firmware 11, preferably the latest version, for example POCO M3 EEA Stable Recovery V12.5.5.0.RJFEUXM. Move it to sdkard, go to TWRP and delete: 1.Dalvik / ART Cache 2. Data 3. Internal storage 4.Cache DO NOT DELETE OTHER! 5. Start the A11 firmware installation 6. FORMATTING after installation. 7. Restart I recommend installing the firmware for a better system installation.

Remember, don't delete anything extra.
Ok, I tested a while and it seems that call recording does not work... this is why I would like to try some custom roms. My target is to have a working call recording without "audible announcing of record start". What should I do now to successfully install, for example, cdDroid?

Custom rom installation is done in the same way as firmware,
Clean Dalvik / Art Cache, Data Cache, Install Rom and Format Data.
ok, crDroid installed but it goes in boot loop... i think because juice version is not proper for citrus...
I will try other roms.... thank you very very much rotoko!!

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.
