Cannot install any custom ROMS on Poco M3 (citrus) - POCO M3 Questions & Answers

I recently unlocked the bootloader of my Poco M3 (citrus).
I have tried all possible ROMs for both Juice and Citrus but have not been able to install any of the ROMS
I keep on getting :
assert failed: update_dynamic_partitions(package_extract_file("dynamic_partitions_op_list"))
Updater process ended with ERROR: 1
I have tried various recoveries - TWRP 3.5.x, latest Orange Fox, latest Pitch Black
I have also flashed A11 based EU rom for citrus
My device shows decrypted and I can copy files in recovery
Ironically, after formatting the data multiple times and using various recoveries etc, if I am rebooting to syste, it is still booting me to stock MIUI
Still no luck.
I am sure its some silly mistake or naive thing that I am missing
Any help will be appreciated.
My apologies if this is a duplicate thread - I could not find any threads myself.

Maybe you did:
You must format the data and confirm by writing yes (if there are "red line" errors reboot Twrp and format again), then restart on the TWRP and flash rom.

Many thanks for responding sir.
I found this another thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/i-cant-install-a-rom-on-my-poco-m3.4310461/
I saw your comments in that thread as well along with some other suggestions.
The only one thing that I was not doing was to flash: NO_OSS_VENDOR-MIUI.21.7.21_A11_MIGRATION.zip
I did that and it worked !!!

x720 partial unlocked bootloader? [SOLVED]

So I got my 6GB/64GB x720 yesterday. It had Google Play Store already installed (ordered it from HonorBuy) and asked me to install a 7MB OTA, so it seems it had a recent version of EUI on it. My idea was to put LineageOS 14.1 on it or if it wasn't stable enough for me, at least a debloated and rooted stock. So searched XDA and followed this HowTo. No Errors, flashboot oem device-info said, bootloader unlocked, perfekt. Installed TWRP, downloaded recent LineageOS and followed the guides to flash (wipe, ...). Unfortunately flashing never finished, I always had a full progress-bar and it stayed there without doing anything (ok, the device got hot). Thinking of a broken download, I redownloaded the ROM but same problem. So I started downloading other ROMs from XDA: Resurection Remix and OmniROM. Flashing-process went thru, but couldn't flash gapps and ROMs didn't boot at all. I was always only getting to the LeEco-Bootlogo with the chinese writings. So next thought was, maybe for some reason I can't install Lineage-based ROMs, let's figure out later and get a debloated stock ROM. So I downloaded MAURO V2.2_Free and gave it another try. Looked more promising, as the bootlogo was a little different, no more chinese writing but english. Unfortunately this was all I could see of MAURO as I only got a bootloop... so again reflashed MAURO and this time a single line in TWRP-output came to my eye "boot.img could not be written". I checked flashboot oem device-info after every flash and it always told me, bootloader is unlocked, but there seems to be something else that I'm missing that obviously still keeps the bootloader locked. I wiped the phone several times, even sdcard... nothing helped. The only method that worked for me to get a working rom running was by this guide, manualy flashing every bit of stock ROM with flashboot. With MAURO-ROM, I also tried to flash boot.img manually with flashboot, but that didn't work, either.
Anyone of you experienced the same? What am I missing? Or is this some new protection implemented by LeEco for the most recent devices? Any help really appreciated!

I have the same phone from Honorbuy, I flashed twrp using the tool by Mauronofrio and from the twrp wiped all and flashed the custom rom, all went ok, no errors at all! Glad to see you have solved anyway!
Thanks for the answer... no, it's not solved for me... still a lot of bloat on the phone I can't get rid of. Do you have a link for the tool you mentioned? Could be worth a try...
Hi! I've used this tool installing it on a Windows 7 64 system:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/development/tool-tool-one-mauronofrio-t3580611
Then turned ON the (original LeEco stock rom) usb debug option by the rom's developer options, then downloaded the LineageOS 14.1 by Team Superluminal in the phone's internal SD (the only SD it have!) + Arm64 nano Gapps, then with the tool gave a reboot in sideload mode. Then flashed the twrp recovery by the tool, restarted in recovery mode then executed a backup of ALL the "backupable" stuff (all the original rom and data and efs), then in wipe/advanced options I wiped dalvik, system, cache, data. Then in Advanced/file manager I wiped all the SD files with a dot ( . ) at the beginning of their names, then flashed the custom rom + gapps, reboot system, wait some minutes, done!
No luck with this tool, it doesn't even find my device. Any other ideas? I've read something for the x727, where they had to flash a 19s bootloader first, but I don't want to fiddle with flashing files that are not 100% meant for the x720...

Solved! As I could install TWRP I just went the next step and installed SuperSU (rooted the phone) in order to at least debloat stock rom. During the installation of SuperSU I saw, that SuperSU obviously patches somehow the bootloader. After checking that SuperSU worked in the ROM, I was curious if this could be the missing part I was searching for. I tried to install a LineageOS-based ROM and BINGO! it just went straight through! From my previous phones I was used to just install TWRP, wipe anything and flash desired ROM. This seems to be different on this device... so the proper procedure to be able to flash any ROMs is: Install TWRP, root stock ROM, reboot so SuperSU is fully functional, then go back into TWRP, wipe, flash what you want.
CDFS
I hate to say it, but it's still not solved. After testing Resurrection Remix, I wanted to test turbos ROMs, so went to TWRP, wiped and flashed... and got the same behaviour as before, ROM not booting. Also installing SuperSU via TWRP again didn't help, so brought back the phone to stock 023S manualy with the guide by Presterin, installed TWRP again and also SuperSU. No Errors, but flashing a different ROM didn't worked. So for now I'm back to stock, rooted it and tried to debloat it by myself. The only difference between the successful flashing and the failed was the stock version: I had the 026S-update when I rooted the phone and successfuly could flash another ROM. My guess would be that LeEco changed something in the bootloader, but I have no chance to verify this. Anyone from the devs maybe who could look into this? If you need dumos, logs or anything like that, I would be happy to help.
CDFS
This seems unrelated to bootloader.
Anyway:
1. Make sure you got the latest firmware, if not sure:
1.1. Download latest OFFICIAL ROM
1.2. Rename the rom to a 'update.zip' and place it on phone's root directory.
1.3. Reboot to fastboot and flash STOCK RECOVERY
1.4. Reboot to recovery and flash, also check wipe data.
DO NOT FLASH STOCK ROM WITH TWRP! THIS WILL NOT WORK!
That's it, you should have the latest firmware now.
After booting to stock rom, reboot a few times is recommended.
2. Download latest OFFICIAL TWRP
2.1. Flash TWRP with fastboot.
2.2. Reboot to TWRP.
2.3. Download any custom rom of your choice.
2.4. Wipe.
2.5 Flash.
Done.
You can try to flash a stock, old rom using the "Qfil/FlashOne" way as suggested by Tryzex (read his thread and other related threads), then once you have got a stable, full working phone, you can (hopefully!) wait for a LeEco OTA automatic update that can "repair" the file system/partition structure (also bootloader I hope!).
Btw, to debloat it isn't necessary to root the phone, you can keep the phone unrooted & debloated using the file manager embedded in twrp recovery to delete/replace any file/app you want. I'm sorry I can't help you better, cheers and... good luck!
PS
I see now the post from Voron00, it's a good hint!
@voron00 thx for the steps described. I'm using the most recent, official TWRP (3.1.1). Latest Official Stock seems to be 023S on their site, even though there is a 026S update. However, I did this 026S-update and rooted again, but was to cusious if flashing would work now... so I tried flashing turbos MIUI... guess what? It worked. So for whatever reason I seem to have trouble when flashing from a 023S, but no problems when flashing from 026S. I don't quite understand why you think that my problem is not related to the bootloader? As mentioned in the OP, I could see in the logs that while flashing, some roms had thrown errors regarding writing the bootpartition.
CDFS
Seems as I found the culprit, somehow. At least I could flash two other ROMs without any problems. Obviously I mixed and partly missinterpreted some steps found in different threads and howtos. I had "rm -rf for formating" ticked all the time in TWRP. My flashing procedure is now as follows:
1. in TWRP settings check that "rm -rf instead of format" is NOT ticked
2. wipe Cache, System and Data
3. repair filesystem for Cache, System and Data and check that no errors occur
4. in TWRP settings tick "rm -rf instead of format"
5. flash ROM
6. wipe Dalvik
CDFS
"rm -rf" clears all the files and directories without formatting the partition. If your partition is damaged you need a real format to obtain a reliable partition (if the "disk" isn't faulty). Perhaps in your case a real format was required to solve the problem! I always used the real format and assumed other users even so. I see you finally solved the problem!

Rom.zip not installing on any twrp version

So i was swapping roms: i booted into twrp, cleared cache and data and flashed my rom ( ResurrectionRemix-M-v5.6.0-20151213-wt88047.zip ) and Gapps.
i noticed flashing RR took just a minute and returned this message:
"unmount of /system failed; no such volume
script succeeded: result was [0.200000]"
after that the Gapps package flashed with no problem, but my phone does not boot properly.
Edit: i also tried different twrp versions, but i got the same result with each of them
It does still boot to fastboot, but i wasn't able to get into android.
i read something about cf.lumen drivers causing this kind of error while swapping roms, but i don't know if they were there in the first place or how to uninstall them.

Good night, try to flash miui. Then install twrp 3-1 and ROM. But first go to the Lineageos tag and download the modem and flash. Then try ROM again.
I had MIUI installed before the Rom flash, and i was using fastboot ti boot into twrp without actually flashing it.
I eventually solved my issue by flashing a different rom, so i think the one i was using was corrupted or Just bugged.
Thanks for the support.

Latest oreo roms and some problems...

When I install the latest oreo rom and recommended recovery, there are always problems
for example: error 7, Can't mount vendor, unable to mount storage...
When I install Pixel Experience and RR oreo rom, this error is happening and I can not install a different rom or another zips, using different recovery not the solution. I tried some suggestions here but the result has not changed
I installed a stock rom with QPST and problems improved
Exactly what we should do, Can you explain in detail
thanks to those who contributed :good:

Please provide specifics of ROM and TWRP Version. Did you load mods? Did you use custom kernel?
I installed this recovery for bootleggers 8.1 rom,
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673956719939820462 (twrp 3.2.1.0 It works well),
then I've installed Orangefox recovery for try and I used for long time without any problem,
later I flashed this recovery for Pixel Experience rom
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262904027766 (twrp 3.2.3.0),
installed without a problem but a long time stuck in google logo, I rebooted three times a long press power button and the phone opened normally
No problem when using the phone but all times error on recovery.. such as 'vendor, invalid argument, mount error.
Always these errors during the rom installation and wiping..
Now is stock rom installed, I think there are some changes in the new rom because such problems did not happen before,
thank you for your answers and developers

Okay... I'd recommend one thing.
Install the custom ROM. Then follow flashing procedure and do read the new FAQ posted by the devs. And after that... Try to reflash the recovery.img by pressing install image option. After this... If the problem persists, try to follow the procedure again and check if your recovery image isn't corrupt. Plus don't use the recovery from TWRP.ME
I have a recovery that can solve this problem but you can't restore ROMs you backed up

I did actually try a second time, just flashed pixel experience rom and twrp 3.2.3.0 recovery on the stock rom - recovery.. same errors are happening and this problems improve only when I install stock rom with QPTS.. I will do clean installation in a short time again, just wonder why there is so much vendor error on recovery...

If you want to install latest update roms then read this FAQ:https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77872447&postcount=2325:confused:
if you want to revert to old roms then you have to flash stock nougat rom using qfil and install twrp 3.2.1.0 and install old roms
don't do it wrongly otherwise you will get updater error 7 or can't mount vendor, etc,

You should be on latest nougat that is with november security patch. All rom after 14/10/2018 should flash with latest twrp that is 3.2.3.0. all roms before that should be flashed with twrp 3.2.1.0.

The thing is with new twrp there is decryption support which was lacked in old. Vendor partition is present in both i think. All the new roms are encrypted by default

Problems updating from 5.1.7 to 9

Hi,
I have a rooted OP5, running 5.1.7 and TWRP. I used Oxygen Updater to download the new android 9 ROM. I tried to install via TWRP, but got an error about zip compatability & a treble problem. I found a thread stating that I needed a newer TWRP to fix the treble problem, so I installed TWRP_3.2.3-Pie_siankatabg_OP5 , which said it had Pie support, from here:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262903996029
That worked fine, but when I tried to flash the 9 ROM, I got still got the same error. Another post said to remove compatibility.zip from the ROM zip. I did that, and it now installed, but it wouldn't boot. Re-flashing 5.1.7 booted fine. I tried another TWRP - twrp-3.2.3-0-20181227-codeworkx-nocompatcheck-cheeseburger from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...overy-twrp-3-2-1-0-oreo-oxygenos-5-0-t3725723
That installs, and boots to system, but won't boot to recovery, so I can't install the 9 ROM.
Any ideas where I go from here to upgrade to 9?
Thanks!

Let us know if those steps work for you. The firmware is linked to on there, pre-modified. Try flashing that pre-modified zip and see if your device boots.

It sounds like you did not follow the detailed flashing instructions in the first post here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/official-oxygenos-4-5-2-7-1-1-ota-t3627003
Is your device storage encrypted or decrypted? Have you flashed magisk? Have you used an older magisk(your end link leads to my post where I mention that)? Have you downloaded the rom file without compatibility.zip or did you removed it on your own?

Thanks for the links both, but still no go. I was on Magisck 17.1, uninstalled Magisk with the latest uninstaller, flashed the ROM with compatability.zip already removed. Same result as before - I get the oneplus logo, then it just reboots instead of starting the system. I've only wiped cache & dalvik, I don't really want to wipe more than that if I can help it - it is worth trying a system/vendor/data wipe? I recovered by flashing back to 5.1.7 (also updated to Magisk 18 while I was at it).
Any more ideas? One thing I find a little weird is that I'm on the @siankatabg TWRP, when I tried either the bluespark & codeworx TWPR, I couldn't get into recovery with either, I just got a blank screen with a LED staying on light blue. Only the siankatabg recovery works. Surely any of them should work? Does this point to a problem?
I'm not sure what you mean by encrypted or not - I get messages about unencrypting when going into recovery, which I assume means I am encrypted?
THanks!

Maybe try backing your device up, and then locking the bootloader. Try updating with stock recovery on a locked bootloader. If that works, you can then unlock the bootloader and copy your data back

Please use an older recovery like twrp-3.2.3-0-20181031-codeworkx-cheeseburger.img the actual pie recoveries require pie firmware(mentioned in last post of blue spark thread for example).

OK, I understand now - if I use an older TWRP, or the siankatabg version, it works fine. I can then flash the Pie ROM, however it still won't boot - I get the oneplus logo, then it just reboots. However having done the Pie flash, I can then flash the more recent TWRPs (codeworx or Bluespark), and can now get into recovery fine. However Pie still won't boot - I've even tried re-flashing the Pie ROM from within the newer TWRPs, but the result is the same - it gets to the oneplus logo, then reboots. At this stage I guess wiping system/vendor/data is the only way forwards?
*Edit* - OK, so wiping everything fixed the issue, I'm now on Pie. Flashing Magisk didn't work when flashing the ROM, but I'll try again once it's finished downloading all my apps etc.

E1001/Error 7 Failed to update system image

Hi guys,
so I am running into a strange issue: I can't flash any ROMs in recovery anymore.
I switched to Pixel Experience Q from xiaomi.eu's MIUI ROM ~1 week ago without wiping internal storage, so I ended up not being able to use TWRP as I was faced with a password prompt that accepted none of my passwords (current, previous or default_password, etc.). So when an update for PE came I thought "okay let's get this over with now" and did a complete wipe including /data/media from OrangeFox recovery - so far so good.
Now I transferred back the new ROM zip and wanted to proceed flashing it.
Result: Error 7 Failed to update system image (E1001)
Confused by this I went back to the previous version's zip, but the same error comes up.
Even more confused I downloaded all kinds of ROMs and every single one comes up with this error.
I tried
another full wipe
mounting/unmounting system before flashing
MIUI, Android 10, Android 9 ROMs
Different versions of TWRP and OFR
Even different firmware packages
Removed assert and abort lines in the updater-script (which results in skipping the flashing of the system image and then failing at vendor)
Flashing by adb sideload
So the only thing getting me back to a working phone is flashing a fastboot ROM. That works.
Even after doing that, flashing back TWRP/OrangeFox, wiping and flashing a ROM the same error comes up again. I also checked the MD5 hash for my files. They are fine.
I am at a loss of ideas at this point and no solution I found helped. I hope you guys can help me. Thanks in advance. :-/
Well, scratch that, I guess.
After hours of troubleshooting somehow it's working again now.
So for anyone who gets this issue:
Flash a fastboot ROM and...go to sleep and try in the morning.
I'm facing the same problem now.. I think after trying many times its a flash problem, because when I flash over fastboot sometimes stick on 5/7 and others 3/7 etc.. well its a xiaomi is something to expect.
Format Data partition, not just wipe, this should fix those kind of issues.
This.
After more xiaomi devices and more flashing I can definitely say this is the fix.

Try transferring the ROM using a USB 3.0 port. Worked for me...
I am facing the same problem. Can you help me?
