You need to format your data

Did you wipe System, Cache, Data and/or Internal storage before flashing?

Boot to recovery (I reccomend orangefox) wipe cache, dalvik, data, system > flash rom > flash gapps (optional) > flash magisk (optional) if after reboot it ask for password you have to format data (i've noticed that if you flash magisk before booting the system the password isn't required). If you come from miui maybe you need to flash vbmeta before rom (i'm not sure but it doesn't hurt)

It seems easy.. But i faced a problem before when I wipe the system I think,, I got No OS installed.. How I can avoid that ( flashing the stock rom)
What the role of vbmeta
Should I backup my apps by titaniumbackup
Excuse me for a lot of questions

Do you want to flash a custom rom or you want to return to official miui from a custom rom?

Ot seems easy.. But before when I wipe the system as I remember,, I got no OS installed how I can avoid that I don't want to flash stock rom again…
What is the role of vbmeta?
Can I put the custom rom in internal storage "I don't have SD card !

When you wipe system you delete the previous os (rom) installed then you flash the new os (rom). Wich rom do you want to install?

If you don't have SD Card then don't wipe Internal Storage. But Clean Flash always recommend.

Ok so if you want to reinstall your app and data after flashing the rom you can backup with titanium backup or migrate. Reboot to recovery and wipe cache, dalvik, system and data after this flash the rom (you can flash it from internal storage) after the rom without rebooting to the system flash gapps (optional) and magisk (I reccomend to flash magisk so you can restore the backup and it avoid to have the problem with password request). Reboot to system

Maybe you have wiped also internal storage or format data? If you wipe just cache, dalvik, data and system you must found the files in the download folder.

Thank you bro

You're welcome. Aniway you can always download the needed files in your pc then connect the phone to it and transfer the files in the internal memory

Soo it will be work?

Try it

Procedure should be the same as Xiaomi.Eu
- format data ( not wipe )
- type yes
- reboot to recovery
- move ROM to internal storage or use OTG
- flash ROM
- reboot system
I haven't tried this ROM, but this should be the correct installation.

If format data and flash ROM didn't work, then try that:
- wipe system, data, cache, dalvik
- flash ROM
- don't reboot to system, stay in recovery
- format data
- reboot to system
Also try to download ROM again, maybe it's corrupted..

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.
