Clean Restoration to Stock MIUI from Custom Marshmallow ROMS

Custom ROMs are awesome! But sometimes, you need to get back to stock MIUI. But you cannot directly flash the MIUI rom. Eventhough, if you have made a backup of stock miui, you ll face problems while restoring back from marshmallow based custom roms. You will get an error as " extractTarFork() process ended with ERROR 255 ".
Dirty Solution:
In TWRP, mount all partitions
Go to restore, and untick only "firmware"
Restore everything; and wipe cache, dalvik cache
Reboot system
Clean Solution:
Now from above solution eventhough you ll come back to miui, but while updating through updater app, you ll not be able to flash the OTA files. This happens only on some devices. If you are facing this, you need to follow all the above steps of dirty solution. Additionally, download fastboot rom, and flash using "Flash all", which will wipe your data and internal sd card data too.

Unable to install custom rom in lenovo k6 power

Hello friends I am trying to install Custom rom in my Lenovo K6 power phone but due to some error it can not be installed. I request you to help me as soon as possible and tell me the reason for this error and if possible then suggest the correct rom for this phone.

I think you have not flashed 64bit version of twrp. Flash the correct twrp and the issue will be fixed.

Please provide me right trwp download link as well as way to install. Currently no os installed on my phone.

Download and install TWRP below, it's the 64bit version and you can install via TWRP. In the menu of installing ROMs in TWRP choose the option to install .img, choose TWRP and install, then choose the ROM you want and install. Remember that you must erase everything and format the data.

Yeah

Flash 64 bit twrp . And don't forget to reboot into twrp again after flashing 64 bit twrp .

This problem is because of your 32 bit twrp.
Try installing 64bit twrp recovery . Then u wil b able to flash rom. Please note that twrp 3.1.0 is 32 bit and twrp 3.1.1 is 64 bit.

Please tell me marshmallow rom

I think its a very common mistake everybody does.
before installing any custom ROM make sure that u wipe Dalvik cache and cache of the device then flash the rom and gaps also.
And another major issue with the custom ROM requirements like that ROM support in one minimum version of TWRP recovery
if u install that ROM bellows the version of requirements the ROM will not install properly.

Download twrp updater from playstore, download 3.2.1.0 the latest as 3.1.1.1 will not mount your storage use twrp updater to flash official TWRP that i mentioned above
Then if you are on stock rom then take backup in some external drive and place रोम and gapps too,
Then do format data in wiping section, do it thrice and then wipe delvik, cache, data, system and internal storage too now mount external dtive(either OTG or SD card) and flash rom followed by gapps 7.1 pico
As I writing my experience as I am currently on RR ROM

Error on installing custom rom
Error 7 will be displayed while installing custom roms

i dnt understand to install twrp .icant decript data on the file please help

I updated to Oreo and now storage won't mount in twrp

I can't do anything in twrp and am trying to root it but can't find magisk or any other files because twrp won't show me them.
I tried going to wipe > repair or change file system and clicking on it says invalid partition selection. Can't backup either because storage won't mount.
Also if I try to reboot to system out of twrp, twrp just crashes before my phone restarts(It still reboots into the OS though). I never even get a chance to click the reboot button.
Lastly if I want to get back into twrp it seems I have to flash the twrp via the bootloader every time.
And I CAN transfer files while OOS is running, I just can't get them in TWRP.
I've read that formatting might work, but will formatting remove the OS? I wouldn't want to chance anything since it seems impossible to flash anything right now.

Do you have to flash twrp for this to work, or can you just fastboot into the twrp image?

I think that TWRP its "too New" for this ROM. I think of you want to flash stock Rom/ MM6.0 you should use a older recovery.

It's not the twrp I just tried and the result is the same ....
I tried to install Pixel experience and the phone is brickea ...
What problem can there be?

In my experience, the twrp version can make some problems. use all in one tool to flash a factory rom like 20s then install an older twrp and whatever you want after that

I have tried to use the TWRP 3.2.0 with the rom of stock 20s ...
It is not a problem of the rom Cuoco92, every time I install a rom on my phone (Pixel Experience, LineageOS etc ...)

Use TWRP like 3.2.1-1 and format your Data. And wipe Data, System, Cache, Dalvik and Storage. Then try to flash Custom Rom (Oreo will be ok) via OTG. That should fix the problem.

Is it normal that 32 gb 10 gb are in use?

If your LePro3 have 32GB, about 10GB are in use With System/Apps... My LePro3 its 64GB, and after very clean install I have just 51GB free for Use. So if your phone is 32GB, its normal to have -10GB on use for system and apps after install Rom.

I have use this Rom several times, Twrp doesn't matter. You must have a Full Clean install. >>> Full Clean Wipe Means format storage, then reboot to recovery > Flash Rom, Firmware ( if needed) Place Magisk 16.7 in Storage > Flash Magisk 16.7 from storage.
Since Gapps is already installed its not needed> don't flash gapps.

can you please provide me rom cuoco92 v4 28s?
does it work for 722?

Boot to recovery with Power + Volume up, and dirty-flash your ROM. Don't change the kernel, and don't root.
If that doesn't fix the problem, then do a clean flash of a ROM that you know will work.

U can go in the recovery mode, when not in the fastboot?
1. Dirty flash havoc.
When it don't work, recovery, format system, dalvik, cache, maybe data and flash the rom without the kernel.
Or first flash another kernel and test. I use morfuz with havoc.

No need to format system, cause in result page - they said there is no system...
i will flash kernal when the stopped saying no system found...
BTW I THOUGHT EVIRA is best... why using morfuz?

Dirty flash is without format

Dead
Format system or mi flashtool back to miui without look bootloader, then fastboot recovery flash, format all and then flash ur steps.

2. When first don't work. Look by thee tool on the right side down.
Normally is on clean all and look
1.But maybe first make a backup from ur sd to ur computer. Format system, vendor (not vendorimage), data, dalvik, cache and internal.
Then copy all, rom.zip, gapps and Orangenfox.zip to ur internal sd with a computer in recoverymode.
Flash Orangenfox.zip and the recovery reboot.
Make ur flash steps.

Fixed?
