Questions About Mods

Hello,
I have two questions:
1. I downloaded and installed some mods on the device and I followed the instructions, but when I open the device again I do not see any change.
For example, I installed the battery icon mod and checked it suits my device , but I do not see any change now.
There's something I need to do after installing the mod?
2. I have a Root and I run the stock rom, How can I change my device from ODEX to DEODEX?
I saw some tutorials online but the download links of xUltimate did not work there.
Thank you

1. Try wiping cache and dalvik cache in recovery, are the mods suited for odexed roms?
2. Install this deodexed stock rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010887.

1. Ususaly before installing the mod`s
2. No, just wipe cache and dalvik cache and format system in mounts and storage and flash the rom.

No user data will be wiped, only system data as you are about to flash another (deodexed) system.

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)

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

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

Cannot access files unless in TWRP

Hello!
I tried to do a clean install of MIUI Global (10.3.11, which came with the phone). I didn't install any other ROM before in this device. Wiped eveything (data, system, dalvik etc.), then flashed the ROM and Magisk.
Now, when I connect the phone via USB I cannot access my files. It only shows "internal shared storage" on Windows, and it's all empty. When I try to transfer a file it shows nothing, the file just don't go. While in recovery I can access the storage and transfer files.
*I did activate USB depuration in developer mode.
*I did change de USB mode to "transfer files"
*I reinstalled the ROM several times.
Maybe it's something to do with the format type of the storage?
I'd try to do a ROM fastboot but I cannot find the fastboot version of MIUI Global for MI 9T.
Please, help

Did you format data? I think you forgot this part, format data then you can wipe it if you want.(formatting will delete everything from your internal storage ofc)

Thanks for the reply! Yes, I did.
It seems like the "/storage/emulated/0/........." is broken. I cannot do nothing on this folder. I tried to create a file/folder in it with Solid Explorer and it says that the directory wasn't found.
Any idea?

Noticed that when I try to wipe data after formatting it an error appears on TWRP: "error opening '/data/media' (No such file or directory". Is it normal?
Seems like the ROM isn't properly creating the directory, that's why I can't access it.
