Is it possible ?

hey guys,
i have one (very important to me) question.
I´m using MIUI ROMs on my HD2 and as you might know every week a newer version is comming out.
Yesterday i created a knew ext3 partition for my current ROM.
Can i flash the new ROM like an update or something else ? So i don´t have to create a new partition and install all apps again ?.... I am using of course MAGLDR and Clockwork Mod....
I would be glad to get an answer to this ...
Thanksss....

As long as it's just a newer version of the same rom, just go into CWM, go to backup/restore, and make a backup. Then flash the new rom, and then in CWM, go into backup/restore again, and do a custom restore, restoring only data and sd-ext.
Then the only difference you will notice is the new rom, not the loss of apps and data.

To update version of same MiUi Rom:
copy the new ZIP file to SD card.
reboot to recovery
Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
DON'T WIPE DATA
Flash the new Zip file.
All your apps are there with the new ROM.

Tell me... After unlocking bootloader and installing twrp recovery, did you directly flash RR without letting the phone boot into stock rom? If you did so.. now
1. install stock rom using SPflash tools then again unlock bootloader and install recovery,
2. first flash the required files to root your device (don't forget to delete recoveryfromboot.p file) and then let your phone boot.
3. Now you enter twrp recovery and you can flash any rom you want to without any internal storage problem.
Tested myself :fingers-crossed:

* Reflash stock rom via adb
* Flash TWRP via adb
* Flash ROM and dont wipe your internal storage..
* just wipe cache, dalvik, data, system

where can i find recoveryfromboot.p?

In twrp, click ADVANCED, then file manager,
Then goto system folder, scroll down to find that file.

ps: Internal Storage can´t be Repair or change File System in Wipe/Advanced Wipe option repair or change file system

First things first, try booting regardless, every time I flash the stock Oreo rom V20A, it says no os installed
(I recommend having an SD card to put the rom on) go to wipe and format your data, once having done that wipe everything Dalvik, Data, System, Cache. But not the SD card. Then after that, go to flash, select your SD card then flash the rom.

Did you flash the correct gap version , arm 64 and 9.0 gapps. Wipe everything including vendor and system and flash only rom only and check, if not solved it might be some corrupted file, copy internal files to PC then wipe internal storage also.
If that doesn't work too, reflash the firmware.

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.
