[Tutorial][Guide][Redmi 4a][rolex]Things to do before installing custom Nougat ROM

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.

Yes, I just did this yesterday and used TWRP 3.2.1-0-angler. Use Magisk 15.2. I tried 16.2 and it couldn't get past the "Google" screen for over 15 minutes, several times. However, 15.2 worked perfectly.

It's no longer
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
as of fastboot version 23.0.1 New command for unlocking the bootloader (for 5x - pixel 2) is:
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
according to the official Google page.
Then flash TWRP 3.2.1.0, reboot to recovery and flash Magisk v16. Sometimes you'll need to erase cache, TWRP will ask you after flashing if you want to do that. Click it then reboot. If first boot doesn't boot and is stuck, hold power button and have it restart, and have it try to boot up normally again, sometimes first boot up after flashing gets stuck. Or if you keep having issues try flashing Magisk Beta (v16.3).

TWRP and Magisk for EMUI 9.0

Sorry if this has been answered already, but I can't find anything about it. As far as I can see, the only way to have working Magisk now on EMUI 9.0 is to install it to recovery_ramdisk and use that to boot the phone. That is working fine. Is there any way to install TWRP as well, since it can't go in the recovery_ramdisk partition? I tried
Code:
fastboot flash erecovery_ramdisk
to flash it to eRecovery, but that didn't work and gave me this error:
Code:
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
Any ideas?
The specific reason I wanted to get into TWRP was to install the HyperPlus custom kernel, and I can't think of another way to do it.

you have unlocked bootloader ?

Where you found TWRP for EMUI9?

I was trying to use the Oreo 3.2.1 TWRP. I'm now realising that might not work...

where magisk img u flash for your phone

Could you let me know your process to flash magisk to EMUI 9? What version stock rom do you have?
Thanks!

You have to install TWRP to recovery_ramdisk, then install the TWRP .img to erecovery_ramdisk from inside TWRP. Then you can install the patched magisk .img to recovery_ramdisk via fastboot.

Sadly, there isn´t any "official" TWRP recovery for Android 9.0 Pie / EMUI 9.0 on P10 Plus available. However I have been using this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3914798 (TWRP for Mate 9, works for P10 Plus because of similar chipset) successfully for emergency tasks like removing failing Magisk modules and getting out of bootloop, accessing the filesystem or writing *.img files. Be careful though, I don´t think it will work for installing zips or system updates.

im pretty lost right now, i had "oem unlock" disabled, so fastboot shows FRP lock, i cant flash anything. how to get around that when i cant enter my system?
edit: fixed it just booted without root and enabled adb to fix magisk

so it would replace the eRecorery? Isnt that quite risky because the erecovery might safe you when i get softbricks / bootloops etc

{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.

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.

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?

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

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
