How to update to PIE official (unlocked Bootloader with TWRP)

Guys today morning I got the OTA UPDATE to PIE. I am currently on v340 with an unlocked bootloader and TWRP already installed.
Should I go with the OTA update? Will it cause any errors?

Stay on oreo, pie is a disappointment over oreo in many ways, like BB reduced, sound quality reduced, no night light and most important you can't play PUBG in HD and many more.
If you really want to taste pie then you can use custom pie roms otherwise stay on stock oreo.

Can I update or not? I don't care if I lose TWRP. I don't play PUBGM. Will it cause any issues as my phone already has TWRP. Can I simply download the OTA and get on with the installation.

Have you unlocked your bootloader?

I have already stated: My bootloader is unlocked, TWRP is installed. I am on v340. I got the OTA. Can I update?

If your bootloader is unlocked then it's not a good idea to update via FOTA in my opinion. Wait for until someone made a flashable Twrp zip.

To install any rom using twrp you must download the rom and place it in your storage
Then boot into twrp
Click on install and and browse to your file click on it and flash it...
You can also do clean flash by wiping your sytem and data before flashing....

I saved update file on SD card, restarted mobile and update proces itself started.
Everything was fine.

I think I should wait till someone makes a TWRP flashable zip. Way too much hassle, again going back to stock rom using adb, then updating the rom, then installing Twrp and magisk again.

Going back to MIUI

I'm currently on AOSP extended and thinking of going back to MIUI. Can I flash the latest MIUI recovery rom from Orangefox or do I have to take the fastboot route? I guess formatting data and wiping system, data, cache and dalvik is a must. Anything else to consider?

Fastboot it is. Find fastboot ROM on http://en.miui.com/a-234.html and flash it for safest and full stock restore.

Yes you can. In case you flash xiaomi.eu the correct kernel is included in the ZIP. Flash magisk right after that... And ready to go...
I went back to Miui too, way better battery life, fluid, no glitches and just more robust...

Sorry if it's too obvious, but I'm really new to this device and would like to receive a little help from you guys.
I'm on RR (also tested AEX) right now, plus Orange Fox recovery, and rooted (Magisk). All is good. But would like go back to MIUI stock again to see the difference.
A friend of mine recommended me to download these ROMs from here for MIUI 10.0-10.4 (stable). My question regarding the zip files available on there: are them flasheable via custom recovery (zip ones)? Will it overwrite my custom Orange Fox by original stock recovery from Xiaomi?
If you know more updated MIUI releases, please let me know where to download them
Thank you.

There's also the ARB problem. I know I'm on ARB 4 now and it's easy to check the ARB version in a fastboot rom in flashall.bat. Haven't found a way to check it in a recovery rom though but I guess it would be safe if I download the latest version.

I personally prefer xiaomi.eu Developer over Stable, but either ones are ok. Yes just flash. Orange Fox will not be overridden. Don't forget to also flash Magisk right after that...

Perfect. And last questions, please:
- Is MIUI 10.5 (9.7.11) the Developer one you are talking about? -> https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/9-7-11.51324/
- xiaomi.eu ROMs, in that case: 10.5 9.7.11, can be updated by just installing new builds (zip) via TWRP? Or a clean installation is needed/recommended? Taking as an example for next probably release like 10.5 9.7.18...

Yes 9.7.11
Switching between MIUI builds deleting data is not mandatory but recommended.
If you are coming from another ROM (Pixel, Lineage etc) mandatory

Off topic which version of MIUI that no issue on battery drain?

Hey sup,
I am currently on MIUI EEA v.10.3.4 ,,, with unlock bootloader. is safe back to v10.3.3 with mi flash and lock it?

Bricked device need help

So my mi 9t is not bricked, I was running the latest EU version of miui 11 when I tried to lock the bootloader. I now have the error your system has been destroyed? But due to antiroll back protection I can't flash any of the current .tar files available for miflash tools. Is there anyway around this or will I have to wait till a miui 11 version of the flash tool images are released? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It's not a custom ROM my mi 9t is the EU varient which has the latest miui 11 stable and I was on .EU custom ROM before I restored and tried to lock the bootloader

It wasn't a custom ROM it was just miui 10, miflash was meant to clean install miui 11 then relock the bootloader for me

TWRP, Android 12

Hi,
now that TWRP 3.7 is out with android 12 support I would like to install it with OOS 12.
Atm I'm at OOS13 (rooted) so how would I do that?
My thoughts are:
MSM downgrade to 11 (do I need to unroot before??)
upgrade to 12
then root, and then just flash twrp at recovery?
Thanks

Pretty sure the new TWRP 3.7 is for A11 on the 8 Pro
The only custom recovery that's currently supported/update is orangefox, but that's only for ROMs sadly

That is correct, TWRP does not work on A12 or A13 for the OP8PRO.

Oh ok I thought v3.7.0 got A12 support in general.
Sad to hear I miss it so much ^^
