Hi,
I have a problem installing 8.1 oreo roms on my phone. I follow standard procedure: wipe dalvik, cache, system, data -> install rom + gapps -> wipe cache. After my phone restarts, it displays rom logo, but doesn't load (even after 15-20 minutes of waiting). All I can do is load in fastboot and restore my backup. I use twrp 3.2.1-0, unofficial 8.1 pico gapps from 2018/01/30.
So far I tried:
-Installing rom and gapps separately.
-Installing rom, rebooting, installing gapps.
-Installing rom + gapps, then wiping data.
-Installing rom + gapps, then not wiping anything.
-Factory reset, then install rom + gapps.
-Installing rom + different gapps versions.
Additional notes:
-At one point I successfully installed NitrogenOS (about a month ago) and it is my current rom and backup. But I can't clean flash it again.
-When I install rom only (without any gapps) it boots up fine without errors or long loading.
Can anyone help?
Same problem I am also facing. Using Pixel experience ROM but now not able to flash cosmic official rom...remaining on bootanimation

Thanks for answer. I tried that method too, but it still didn't work for me. I recently tried clean flash with gapps from https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-redmi-3s/development/rom-lineageos-15-1-t3718757 and it worked flawlessly. So maybe it's an issue with some gapps packages?
I also have the exact same problem.
Flashing ROM without gapps works perfectly.
adding gapps package, no matter if its pico aroma or mini, it results in stuck on boot animation.
wiping after flashing also did not work.
once made pixel experience boot, using it since...ota update worked without a problem.
any other suggestions?

Try this nano package https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=889964283620771808. It's the only one that worked for me.

ftfy. But before this ensure that:-
1. Non corrupted ZIPs. Avoid if possible from using mobile data. A slower yet stable WiFi yields better success rate.
2. Currently this unofficial opengapps' builds works better and are more current.

I didn't need to format data on Oreo nos
As mentioned in other threads on this topic, I just wanted to mention here as well that I am also affected by these Oreo boot loops and haven't found a solution yet. I somehow managed to get PixelExperience to install once, but downgraded now to a Nougat build for other reasons (better battery and GCamMod compatibility).

I am using 3.2.1-0 twrp. Rom itself flashes fine, it's the gapps that create infinite boot.
Exact Same issue Here...
I have same problem too .. can't boot in to any Oreo ROM with Gapps .. really isn't any solution here?
This might not be a proper solution, but here's what I did:
1) Wipe data, cache, dalvik, system
2) Flash rom + gapps(I used NitrogenOS and pico gapps)
3) Wipe data again and restore data from backup(I restored data from previous build of NitrogenOS, so I don't know if restoring from different rom will be ok)
4) Boot into rom, ignore any "stopped working" errors and go to Settings-System-Reset options-Erase all data(Not sure if this will erase internal storage, backup just in case)
After that phone booted up and and did first time installation.

Can someone upload me some backup? Pixel Experience would be a best ! Thanks a lot
Anyone have an idea what the problem might be?
I'm facing the same problem. I have a Redmi 3S (international, 3GB version). Doesn't matter what Oreo ROM I try (clean install), they all get stuck in bootloop on boot animation. It doesn't get far enough in the boot process to do a logcat with ADB, so I'm not able to post it.
I'm using TWRP 3.2.1-0 but have tried Red Wolf recovery as well and it yields the same results... I don't think it's a gapps issue since I've tried booting several ROMS without installing gapps.
I have rebooted several times while it's still in the boot process, remounted system in TWRP, wiped everything, ...
If anyone has an idea to get the logs, fire away. Can't boot so can't install liveboot or something like that.
bump
any solution?
The Problem still occurs...
Flashed PE successfully once, but since i went Back to official Nougat lineage os, No Oreo Roms can be booted with gapps
Hi guys, this is my problem. Got MI9T with Android 10 (miui 11) 128GB, and I wanna install Pixel Experience. So, those are my steps until the problem :
1) Bootloader unlocked
2) After this, with TOOL ALL IN ONE.exe, I installed TWRP and everything ok.
3) Wiped EVERYTHING (data, cache, dalvik etc.)
4) here problem) When I wipe data also PE.ZIP is deleted from smartphone, so I plugin smartphone to pc to transfer it again. But when I go to C:/MI9T, I couldn't transfer ANY FILE because memory available was ZERO. 0/128GB, and I don't know why. So I was stuck on TWRP and I had to reinstall stock rom with MiFlash.exe.
(QUESTION: do I have to flash also vbmeta to keep twrp?)
I did the same process on RedmiNote5 but was easier because I had microsd with everything on.
Please if someone could help .. thank you so much
Hello, you just need to reboot to recovery if you can't transfert from PC after wiping/formating data.

Hi,
I have been using Derpfest on my Redmi Note 6 Pro for a long time. To flash the latest version, I wiped cache, dalvik cache and data (as per their instructions) and then flashed the full zip. For some reason, the phone does not boot anymore, it goes into Mi logo, reboots, and then boots into recovery.
I have tried clearing data, dalvik, cache, system and internal storage and then flashing two different custom ROMs (Derpfest and HavocOS) but it still does not work.
Can someone please help me recover my phone?
Thanks

Flash the last miui rom. Recovery Edition. https://c.mi.com/thread-2959490-1-0.html?t=1585141449432&utm_source=share
Boot up and than install the rom you want.

The latest Derpfest uses a new kind of encryption (FBE). This requires formatting data if you were on an earlier version (or any other ROM) with FDE. This really should have been stated clearly in the Derpfest instructions and changelog (perhaps it was - I don't know). If you were using OrangeFox Recovery, you might have seen something (in red) about Android Rescue Party, advising clean-flashing the ROM.
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

Yeah, i tried that too, like mixing steps, or changing when do i format data, skipping magisk and even on roms without gapps skipping gapps but still get the same results
I just dont know what to do

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.

Hello guys
I know custom ROM since many phones (Samsung Notes 1, 2, Honor 5X, Xiaomi Note 6, 7, Samnsung Tab S2 ...)
the bootloader is open with the good tool
the pwrp recovery is installed (so fox if i want)
and many ROMS ares tested but only MIUI12.2 (20.9.24) is functionnaly
the ROMS like ...
- Resurrection Remix
- Syberian
- Pixel Experience
- Cr Droid
and so on
All are installed correctly but bootloop during the first boot
Whats the problem ?
Thanks
Olivier
Hi,
Have you tried to flash firmware first ? do you make clean install (i mean format and not just wipe date) ? And OrangeFox recommanded, more than TWRP.
Give a try to those solutions and let us know if you want

Use latest orangefox: format data then wipe system, data, cache, dalvik/cache, flash firmware (if needed), flash rom, flash gapps (if needed), flash magisk (optional). In case of bootloop format again data partition
There is a problem with encryption with the rn7 so you always need to format data when changing rom so it's important to have a backup of your personal data before changing rom
maybe something that I missed,
you talk about firmware, maybe it is the KERNEL?
Besides, I agree to lose the data, but maybe I didn't erase the reported partitions.
Well I will resume in the strict order indicated by your post
Thank you
I resume my procedure from ORANGEFOX Recovery:
deletion of DATA, SYSTEM, VENDOR, CACHE, DALVIK partitions
SYBERIA ROM installation (for example). GAPP APPS, MAGICK
and at boot, again, BOOTLOOP
So something is missing, but what?
Rebooting with erasure of the DATA paritition does not help
Thank you for your efforts:
Versions software:
OrangeFox lavender 10.1-3
Syberia lavender 3.8
Magisk 20.4

Format data is different from wipe: in orangefox go to menu > manage partition > data > format data then type yes. Also use latest orangefox: https://orangefox.download/en/device/lavender
After installing version 11 of OrangeFox,
to format, I checked the only option
use rm -rf instead of formatting
and each time, formatted the partitions
SYSTEM, VENDOR, DATA,
wipe DAVILK and CACHE and Installation of different ROMs,
SYBERIA, AICP, PIXELEXPERIENCE or ATOM
with each time, OPEN_GAPPS, MAGISKR
same punishment, after launching the reboot, display of the boot images, and it turns, it turns ...

Best option is to go back to stock ROM with mi flash tool and don't relock your bootloader. Then step by step

Instead of flashing 12 000 things, just go step by step and first, flash firmware as recommended : https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/lavender/ (global one for you i think. Check this thread too : https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-7/development/firmware-xiaomi-redmi-note-7-t3925871).
format data as previous user say (do no touch, erase, format other things, just do as he say ! do not touch vendor, etc...)
Then flash rom and NOTHING ELSE, in order to understand which flash is giving bootloop (maybe gapps, maybe magisk) : try this with Pixel Experience which doesn't require additionnal gapps or flashing magisk.
If you do this, nothing more, nothing less, reboot betwen steps, it MUST work.
Hello
My loop problem is solved (for this time), thanks to the information provided by darhma
For the other 12,000 times, I read your post carefully ?
I appreciate the proposed approach of breaking down the installation in stages, and I would certainly take advantage of it in another similar incident.
However, I do not understand the need to upgrade the FIRMWARE, since I am already on a stock ROM, and I do not measure the scope of this firmware, other than to change the version of ROM.
thank you for your patience
So the solution was to format and not just wipe, correct ?

About the firmware, you have some information here. As i personnaly faced bootloop and/or error while flashing that was solved by flashing firmware, i thought it can be a solution for you too
Si je peux me permettre, do not hesitate to give details of how you solve the problem, as it can be useful for others users.
Anyway, happy to see that it works now for you : enjoy !
The problem I was having was mixing the WIPE function even with the option
"use rm -rf instead of formatting"
with the command proposed by @darhma sous OrangeFox
menu> manage partition> data> format data then type yes
Flashing the updated firmware didn't change anything
Thanks anyway for @ 21vm's suggestion, by reading the post on the firmware update, I understood its function.
in French, we speak of "micrologiciel", which I find is more meaningful.
Suddenly, this aspect completely escapes the notion of custom ROM, and therefore is under the exclusive control of XIAOMI (and the other manufacturers).
Thank you all
