Backing up Mi 9T before updating to MIUI 11 - Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers

Hi, I was going to update my Mi 9t to new MIUI 11, but I want to make some preparations first, like making a full backup and doing a factory wipe, however I can't find a program for PC to back up my phone, can someone suggest solution? I really liked Huawei PC suit that saved even app data, and was really straightforward to use, but Xiaomi app doesn't work on 9T.
Also, I'm seeing worrying amounts of threads regarding a lot of possible problems after upgrading the phone on MIUI 11, is it worth it upgrading or should I wait for some time before
some patches deal with most of the problems?

I would also like to know how backup EVERYTHING on my mi 9t including widewine drm and modem firmware.
Comming from pixel and oneplus phones i love the battery on this phone but I can't live with miui.
So I want to backup before unlock, root and custom rom. But how?

can't install EU rom

I bought a second hand mi6 ceramic. Looks perfect. I think it’s a china phone. I have experience with unlocking and flashing Xiaomi phones but run into trouble with this phone. I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP. I tried to install the EU rom. But everytime I do that it hangs at first startup. I Installed a newer version than that was on the phone (10.2) . I installed both teh stable and weekly, both the same. With the Xiaomiflashtool I went back to its first state (both global and china rom). I don’t understand what I am doin wrong. Someone an idea? Thanks in advance.

I have this issue in December 2017 and from this time i'm on global stable. If this not be fixed to nowadays, probably never will be fixed. My phone it was brand new from gearbest which rather exclude any hw problem.

thanks all. i have kept trying with different version of twrp but indeed nothing works. I give it up now.
install TWRP
Wipe all data (includes storage)
Copy rom zip to phone and install
or sideload install
I have exactly the same issue, I'm trying to change rom due to main microphone issue on Global stable, someone have any suggestion?
I notice that some rom need a specific miui firmware preinstalled before flash the new rom (like lineage OS), I think that the system partition have a certain influence, maybe flash eu rom over global stable is wrong, some one have try flash over developer or weekly?

Rom with best SOT/least problems until now?

Hey there!
I got my Mi9T on Saturday, unlock procedure should be done on the weekend. What roms are you people using, and which has the best SOT? Not sure what ROM i should be using yet. Not really a fan of MIUI.
Thanks in Advance!
MIUI 11. Deal with it. Whatever you try will have problems, it's upto what you're willing to sacrifice. I've decided to flash only after official support drops else yesterday's MIUI11 update is so good. Also I removed Mi Apps from Xiaomi PC suite ( don't remember exact name)

wich one of custom roms is the best as daily driver ?

Can You please share your experience here ?
Havoc Latest build here
MI 9T Global , Latest Stock android 9 Miui 11 tested havoc / bootleggers / AOSIP
OK, in the past i tried almost all the roms that are available for the Redmi Note 5 PRO...
For the 9T all this 3 ROMS ( havoc / bootleggers / AOSIP ) are the same PIE version as my Redmi Note 5 pro....
-Same default apps each rom has, custommization, menus, options, sounds, boot animations... so if you are familiar ... it's the same thing
This 3 ones doesn't mess with the "mac adress" i don´t know what it is, but if you flash for example Lineage OS (mi 9t) and try to move to another rom you'll lose wifi in your phone , can re enable it by doing a not very complicated process... but even if you use miflash and flash Stock Firmware and Relock the bootloader that "mac adress thing" is going to stay and your wifi isnt going to work, you have to do the solution they provide to have wifi back, so i never flashed lineage... It's weird how flashing via Miflash all to stock cant solve that thing... I NEVER TESTED LINEAGE THIS IS WHAT I KNOW....
For the others ... all those 3 have same Mi 9t base funcionallity, they took the "base implemetation from Havok Dev" so ... , same issues for all this 3, double tap to wake doesn't work.... there is a module for magisk that force it but never tried , i use "raise to wake" then fingerprint, yes, fingerprint doesnt work with the screen off, you have to wake it...
OTG USB detection is random... not always, i have to reboot 1 or 2 times, until it can read it...
Hardware:
Actually in havoc, camera hardware retraction works well, no issues, no rare sounds... some times pop up camera opens randomly, maybe some incompatibility with 3rd apps using it and not closing it, but if that happens i open the camera, switch to selfie cam then to primary and it retracts again, then i reboot...for... just in case
GPS, proximity, all hardware working... led light ... all as far as i know....
There isnt a OTA working on custom Roms... y'know just click the button and automatic update happens, maybe because we dont have a official 100% functional TWRP or Mantainers need to pay some online storage.... for example if you do a factory reset in system options (any of this 3 roms) it only sends you to TWRP and dont wipe anything....
I was tired not having double tap to wake... so used mi flash and went Full Stock android 9 miui 11 Global.... my mistake, i relocked the ****ing bootloader, for my surprise it was instant this second time, i didnt have to wait a week or month, was just instantly...
And here i am again, in havoc...
This momment devs are almost jumping to Android 10 in all AOSP roms...
This roms are stable, my MI 9T is my main phone for work ... i need it working 100% and this ROMS are good to go.... i dont play too much, just clash royale....
battery depends on your use...
I want to try Paranoid Quartz, but there isn't a tutorial to "move safely between android 9 and 10 roms) , i want to make a step by step guide how to move, in what order, what TWRP, what firmware....etc
well thats my impression, sorry for my poor english im lazy to use translator.....
Rigth now i have the knowledge to unlock bootloader, install pie TWRP, install pie aosp roms, go back to stock.... not more....
Im staying in pie havoc for now, Dev is a good guy , good group in telegram....
And remember..... NEVER WIPE VENDOR, IT´S A ****ING LAW.... LOL
have a nice day

Is anyone having good experience with MIUI 11? And has anyone downgraded back to 10?

So I was going to try and update to MIUI 11 but saw a lot of complaints of battery drain and more, and I was wondering, is anyone having a good experiance after the update or is this basically on every device? Mine phone is the European version, should install MIUI 11.0.2.0 PFJEUXM. Any reviews for this release?
Also, has anyone downgraded from 11 to 10 with no issues (rooted device with TWRP, not fastboot)? I've had issues when I downgraded from 10.3.12 to 10.3.7. The OS was installed but the device became unusable and I had to install 10.3.12 again
Thanks in advance
I own two MI 9T, one global and one EEU. Both are on MIUI 11 and I don't have any issues whatsoever. On the contrary, notifications now come in as they should. Apparently they fixed that.
Both phones are not modified (i.e. locked bootloader and unrooted). The only thing I did was to debloat it on user level (via ADB).
The battery drain happened just once months ago with MIUI 10. Never happened again... I'm pretty sure it was a rogue app or service.
And downgrading... I don't consider that (wait for unlocking bootloader flash TWRP etc.) and if I look at the forum I sometimes think that there are way to many help requests because of bricked phones

Thank you guys that was really helpful
I'm gonna try the weekly miuimix rom. I was wonder which twrp do you have though? Also, I'm aware that format data is required according to the instructions but just in case, is it possible to dirty flash it, or to restore data from nandroid backup of stock miui 10 after miuimix installation?
Thanks again

Alwayas the latest chinese TWRP
No trouble here (with Android 10 too). Battery drain does fluctuate though - some days I have 80 percent left in the evening, some days it's just 50 percent with no difference in usage. I also had days of heavy usage with 70 percent left shrug

Can you backup and restore on latest Chinese twrp? I currently have Team Win twrp (mauronofrio's) and I can backup but I get "extracttarfork() process ended with error=255" error when restoring. Is it the same on Chinese twrp?
I'm having bad idle time because of battery drain. But without that is really good update. Hope they fix the drain in coming updates.

Mi mix 3 5G unlocking, TWRP and ROM

Hello
I have bought a very cheap mi mix 3 5G and I have some questions about Unlocking and TWRP and Roms.
the first thing is after unlocking, and flashing twrp, magisk, what does disabe force encryption file?
If i flash Miui it will relock the bootloader automaticaly ar it will stay unlocked?
Since I had a mi4c, I used to flash roms "cooked" from mi-globe.com. Did anyone has used their roms? I have seen that their roms are a little bit older for mi mix 3 5G.
10.3.17.0 while the phone can update to 10.3.23.0
I have PEMEUVF, theirs is PEMCNXM, and I have found some with PEMEUXM, what is the diference from china, global and european rom?
I like to use mi-globe roms since you can make therom without xiaomi bloatware, wallpapers, apps. If I install a normal rom from xiaomi, can I delete their bloatware with a rooted system app disabler? I want to get rid of some google bloatware as well, like chrome, drive, duo, facebook, and all that crap that come preinstalled with the phone.
can I install dolby and stereo speaker mod in the same time?

Ok so here is what i know, miui automatically replaces twrp with its own custom recovery, dfe prevents that so that twrp remains( might be wrong about this), the bootloader will never lock itself, the miui.eu rom is the same as global minus some bloat i guess but beware, it only has widevine l3 so no fullhd netflix, now if you use a normal rom you can use adb to remove most bloatware that came preinstalled, if you want to install some roms you should join the mi mix 3 5g telegram group, we have wip pe and lineage roms. https://t.me/mimix3_5G
After Xiaomi unlocked the phone, I have flashed twrp, magisk and flashed latest PEMEUXM
Everything works fine.
I wished for 2020 security update. This one is from 2019.08.01
And the stereo mi mix 3 mod does't work for me.
You have January 2020 update available for MIUI Global Stable. 10.3.21
As you can see, even that I'm on the global10.3.23.0, security update is still in 2019. Maybe it is a wrong rom.
When I have bought the phone it was with 10.3.21.0 and wanted update to 10.3.23.0.
