[GUIDE] Flash Retrofit Dynamic Partition ROMs on Redmi 7A/8/8A

[itmasen1]

Try using orangefox. And read guide again!

same for orangefox.after installed, when I restart in recovery mode it jumps to fastboot mode. So I have to go back to the original miui stock rom to fix it. do you have an idea ?

You should try flashing patched vbmeta.
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
Then check if you can enter twrp.

Just because it says it's incompatible, that doesn't mean it actually is. That's why we use converter. Try unmounting system before installing converter in twrp.

the method works even the TWRP provided but flashing Magisk isn't included in the instructions. after I've successfully flash the ROM/Gapps, the Magisk won't install properly

Since Magisk 26.0 you can't flash TWRP flashing isn't fully supported. While you can flash magisk with twrp, you would need to enter magisk app once you reboot to system, and finish magisk setup. You can still flash Magisk 25.2 through twrp without any aditional setup.

There are 2 things you can try:
1. Try flashing it in OrangeFox

2. Open console in twrp (Adavnced > Console) and type Mi439 in terminal and hit enter. Then try flashing converter. If it still shows error try typing olives in terminal.

Problem solved for me after install retrofit and reboot only into fastboot mode
First time thank's for Nem1x and russian 4PDA

1. If we switch from MIUI, then first you need to flash the patched vbmeta.img via the command line:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
2. Install Recovery with support for dynamic partitions TWRP
3. Go to Recovery and uncheck "Unmount System before installing a ZIP" in the settings
4. Flash Mi439_Retrofit_Dynamic_Partitions_Converter

5. Clear the metadata section ( Metadata)
6. Reboot into Recovery
7. Install the firmware
8. Format Data if we switch from another firmware or put it clean
9. Flash Magisk / GApps if necessary
10. Reboot into the system

worked fine !!!!!

Can I use " Mi439_Retrofit_Dynamic_Partitions_Converter " with Redmi 6a to make it support dynamic partition?

No. Please don't use it on other devices. This is only for Redmi 7A/8/8A/8A Dual
