How To Guide [TUTORIAL] ULTIMATE How to flash GSI Trebble AND ROM and root on Xiaomi device on Windows (files needed included)

[zyvex_14]

not sure to flash A11 GSI from A12, but A12 GSI, yes...but 22.2 is weekly or from XIAOMI.EU...not sure about that..to be sure I will move to last stock and start from here...

Hummmm, ok so if I want to flash PE12, then it should work?
But I assume that I will have to use the vbmeta file of my current xiaomi.eu rom, and not the one from 1st post, won't I?

Vibration isn't working for me, any kind on haptic feedback is not working with any GSI apparently.

Any clue?

Hi,
I tried following your guide, but when I try flashing the system image, I get the following error:

Any suggestions as to how to proceed from here?
(I also tried it with copying everything under C:/adb, but I get the same error.)
I was able to reflash the stock ROM, but would love to use LiR instead.

The bootloader is unlocked, and USB debugging is enabled, of course.

all the files must be in adb folder...but don't know why this error....have to post it here or must ask on @phhusson thread
are you starting from stock xiaomi, and not from xiaomi.eu rom or else....you need stock...

Thank you for this guide. Now I have a custom ROM fitting my needs. (GSI CherishOS 3.4)

PS. This "tuto" only works on renoir with stock MIUI 12.

I had the same issue in the past, because of my vbmeta file not matching with ROM I had installed before.
Could you confirm that you are on stock MIUI 12?
If not, you have to rollback, as written in the post above, this tuto works only from stock MIUI 12.

Following theses steps, rollback to official MIUI 12 and steps defined of post #1, I succefully installed GSI PE12.

Thanks, I think the problem was that I wasn't on the stock MIUI to begin with. I will try rolling back, appreciate the quick help!

Hello folks. After some issues, I am trying to go back to stock to start from the beggining again.

My question for you: could you tell me which ROM version is the stock? I cannot boot to check it anymore (only fastboot at the moment).

Thank you in advance.

Edit: I see "V12.0.2.0.RKIMIXM" is the oldest but not sure if it is the correct one. I tried with V12.5.5.0.RKIMIXM but it does not boot after install (also needed to bypass crc check, maybe this is the issue). My device is M2101K9G.

Try this one https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/renoir/stable/V12.5.7.0.RKIEUXM/
I have the same device and works flawless.

Hi! I flashed boot.img and vendor_boot.img. I restarted the phone in recovery. I enabled ADB and started it, but my MAC doesn't see the phone.
When I ran ./adb devices I get an empty list.
What's your advice?
Thanks

don't know, Im on PC...have you android tools??and use sideload to flash...

 

[Aitra]

you have to put your rom to adb folder and dont forget to add .img at the end

The problem is: The device only has a super partition, not a separate system & vendo partition. so type command: "fastboot flash system rom.img" will it work?

look here..@R-Bee Chen

I have updated my thread to flash GSI and ROM

I have updated my thread to flash GSI and ROM

I am on EEA 13.06 Xiaomi rom and have tried this but with no success, I just end up at Fastboot D (Orange "FASTBOOT"


Code:

adb sideload rom.zip

for example (you put the ROM zip here you can drag and drop it)
Wait for that to finish it will go to 47% and on the phone it will show step 1/2 then step 2/2
and when it's done it's gonna show an error
adb: failed to read command: No error
Then you can reboot to system

It got thru to exactly that, ie stopped at 47% with the same error message above, but on rebooting I just get back to Fastboot D again and again.....not sure what I am doing wrong. Grateful for your further advice

 

[TheDon13]

And I am also then not able to flash twrp again to try to get back to the adb sideload function within that as it needs to put both as a fastboot command and on the phone! I despair at how nigh on imposssible it seems to get a custom rom installed on this phone. TWRP worked fine on all other previous androids I've had over 12 yrs now, but not with the Mi 11 Lite 5G it seems. I still love the phone but would like it without MIUI heavy skin

 

[TheDon13]

When you say on Pg1

Code:

fastboot reboot recovery

This will boot you into a recovery and now you need to go to wipe and format data
After that go to apply update then adb sideload then

Which recovery pls? TWRP? or which recovery? At that stage, one hasn't loaded back up any other (custom rom) OS. On previous phones I had not problem using TWRP but after initailly formatting data & following the other flash commands on pg 1, I sideload Rice rom, then have the result as above...stuck on FASTBOOT (D). I no longer seem to ever get back to the android figure fastboot version on this phone. Help pls. Thanks
