ok. does it really stick? or did u just not wait long enough? first boot takes several minutes ,o

did u try oreo and pie roms? what about nougat based roms? could u boot up into other recoveries yet?

Odd, are you using miui global, it never booted for me unless i flash lazy flasher after flashing twrp. Even in the official guide there says flash dm-no-verity zip aka lazy flasher. :eek:

i dont use miui normally but when i tried 2 solve my prob i installed it several times and booted up. yes. global version. i never heard of lazy flasher before ^ never used it and miui always worked fine (the few seconds it was up ;D))

Hi personally I followed These steps to successfully boot a custom rom in unlocked redmi 5a which runs either Oreo stable or beta. First flash Oreo based custom recovery via fastboot, install nougat stable miui rom zip, install nougat based custom recovery zip or flash img, boot to recovery, wipe everything except microsd or USB otg, install custom rom zip from SD card or otg drive, boot to system, you are done.

Thanks didn't aware of that super tool. Anyway can you tell me TWRP asking for password to decrypt/mount data after flashing nougat based TWRP over the Oreo but I haven't set any lock method or encryption and even didn't boot up to nougat rom either, so I had to change file system to ext2 to get back data partition. Is it a bug?

It is because of encryption, just format data in wipe settings, it will fixed.

    hi there,

    i used crDroidAndroid-8.1-20180606-riva-v4.3 but there were color problems i didnt know 2 fix so i decided 2 flash a new rom resp. a newer version but no custom rom boots up.

    when it tries 2 boot is freezes at the boot screen, then screen switches off and nothing happens. i can go 2 fastboot and recovery.
    sometimes it boots up but after a few seconds it freezes 2.
    i tried different roms and recoveries but nothing works.
    i foolishly wiped internal storage once but then i flashed the stock rom again which boots up. then i unlocked the bootloader and flashed a custom recovery and a rom again but the same error is there (no booting up)

    anyone got a solution for this problem? no unbricking suggestions plz :)

    edit: im in the wrong thread i think. i wanted 2 post it in "Guides, News, & Discussion". cant delete it. sry for that :eek:

    logs

    so i managed 2 create logs while booting up.

    1) https://pastebin.com/cgrX2DA1

    2) https://pastebin.com/r7DmcN46

    3) https://pastebin.com/0pwXyuys

    4) https://pastebin.com/S41FG2SQ

    1) is 1st part of the log while booting with no success to boot into the os.
    2) is 2nd part of the log while booting with no success to boot into the os.
    3) is 1st part of the log while booting with successful boot into the os.
    4) is 2nd part of the log while booting with successful boot into the os.

    i also tried 2 log "cat /proc/last_kmsg > /sdcard/last_kernel_message_log.txt"
    and "dmesg > /sdcard/kernel_boot_log.txt" via terminal in linux but it only sais file or directory not found.

    i hope sum1 can give me sum help now.

    cmon guys. i can impossibly b the only 1 who faces this problem.

    i dont think its a hardware thing cause stock rom and android 7.1.2 (viper os) work. maybe a vendor problem? could flash another vendor img solve this problem? can sum1 send me his?

    i got sum more logs after flashing rr 7.0:

    logcat 1st part: https://pastebin.com/EBZAgbhF
    logcat 2nd part: https://pastebin.com/qaMFrvxi
    dmesg: https://pastebin.com/Gg8bYkJy

    cheers

    Fastboot flash latest miui 10 stable using mi flash tool and use the rom after setting up. Then flash custom recovery and do a full wipe.

    This works for most cases.

    thx for ur answer but i tried this already. does not work on android 8 and 9 roms :(
