You don't have to flash ivan's 5.12.1 or anything before 6.1.1.

after flashing the MIUI 7 MM rom, just flash twrp and from it flash the latest ivan's 6.1.1 full rom zip and not the OTA one.

so after 3rd step just flash twrp and then full rom of ivan 6.1.1. thats it. no further steps to be done.

and after this if you encounter bootloop the just try the backup and restore method from twrp. backup system, data, boot. then wipe everything except storage and then restore the backup. then reboot
[Mi 3 General] Pi3rluigi:
Do you have a link for full rom,because from Miui forum has been hidden.

No I think he extended via twrp method. maybe.
[Mi 3 General] Pi3rluigi:
No, I've flashed Miui alpha 5.12.17_4.4 and after Miui alpha 6.1.6_6.0

I know how extend partition with CWM, but don't know how to with TWRP

Inviato dal mio D6633 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Mi 3 General] varun.singh286:
there is an option in twrp. under wipe i think. select system partition and then select extend option.
[Mi 3 General] Pi3rluigi:
I didn't .

EDIT: at the end I got it!

From TWRP:

-wiped cache,dalvik,data and system

-flash whole 6.1.1 rom: first attemp failed so wiped everything another time,rebooted recovery; launch flashing a second time, that was succesfull

-rebooted device, it take almost 5 minutes to start up

Thank to all who helped me

I am trying to install 6.1.7 from twrp recovery... I wiped everything except internal storage, then unmounted system from mount optin..

now when flashing 6.1.7.zip, it is showing error:

mount: failed to mount /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/ ....

Device or resource busy

Target: Xiaomi/cancro/cancro:6.0/MRA58K/....

and process is still in process...have to reboot again to cancel process.

Please help me fast, I am still in recovery...
[Mi 3 General] varun.singh286:
Why did you unmount system. How is it going to flash in the system if the system itself is not available.

You don't have to change any mount settings. Just wipe everything except storage and then flash the rom.
[Mi 3 General] bigjailerman:
Hi guys a question for you

I'm on cm13 with mi3 on extended partition and gaps installed

If I want to go to Ivan's http://www.miscw.com/android-6-0-marshmallow-for-mi3mi4-150.html

Do I have to go back to muiu first and then to Ivan or go to Ivan via twrp directly and do i need gapps also with Ivan. Which gaps ate preferred

Can I leave extended partition?
[Mi 3 General] varun.singh286:
If you are on 1.2gb extended partition then yes you have to go through MIUI rom process and get 1.32gb extended partition to be able to flash Ivan's rom.

For Ivans' you will need gapps as it is not included and the best gapps is the Benzo Gapps (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347835438). Well maybe because that's what I am using and faced no problems till now.

No you cannot leave extended partition. It is mandatory for the new 6.1.1 build of Ivans.
[Mi 3 General] bigjailerman:
One more question

I think I am confusing a step. How do you go from 1.2 to 1.32 partition. Is that by flashing miui 7' .. I in missing a step.
[Mi 3 General] varun.singh286:
Yes you have to flash MIUI 7 (5.12.17) ROM to extend partition from 1.2 to 1.32 and that's the most daring task and many (including me) have nearly bricked their devices during the process. Don't worry its can be easily fixed but man the panic is unbearable.

If you want to take the risk then you can follow the steps from here (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64591408&postcount=376)

Make sure you are on true stock partitions before flashing the MIUI alpha roms. If not sure then restore device to pure factory condition using MiFlash and a fastboot rom.

Or wait for a better and safer alternative. Very long wait.
[Mi 3 General] bigjailerman:
Thanks again, and as wet know cannot is generally the best bet. That will be the road I'll take. I appreciate your time

I'm still a beta global member but street my son played with the settings I had to factor reset everything and taking the opportunity to exile marshmallow
[Mi 3 General] bluviper:
wanted to clear something

sorry to bring this up again, but I wanted to clarify somethings.

0.5 flash any stock ROMS via fastboot on Miflash

1. its important to flash alpha ROMS using stock Mi Recovery

2. (can I do this?) and after that, flash TWRP as my new recovery before flashing 6.0 roms

is it OK to do it like this?!

---------- Post added at 04:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:14 PM ----------

hello there sir, I saw you posted on the other thread, telling that you encountered bootloop during your flash.

and you have corrected this by using fastboot. just wanted to ask what did you do after that? how did you flash the current/latest ROM version of Ivans?
[Mi 3 General] Me_Ashish_:
If on extended partition already, you have to flash stock repatriation ZIP. (not stock ROM)

I'm not sure whether you can install the 4.4 based alpha ROM on TWRP, I used stock recovery to avoid any reparation problems. Than use inbuilt updater app to select the 6.0 ZIP

After its done you can install TWRP
[Mi 3 General] bluviper:
the reason for the fastboot is to exactly bring back the stock partitions. is my analogy correct? because I cannot find the zip file to revert to stock partitions.
[Mi 3 General] Pi3rluigi:
Yes, if you want to be absolutelly sure that partitions are right, you have to flash fastboot rom

Inviato dal mio D6633 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Mi 3 General] bluviper:
great patience guys... thank you very much.

one more thing. so after flashing the 6.0 ROM on this thread. can i then flash Ivans 6.1.1?

or should I just stay with 6.0
[Mi 3 General] Pi3rluigi:
Yes, you can flash Ivan's 6.1.1 but the full rom not 5.12.1 and after the ota, it doesn't work.

At first attempt it couldn't flash, reboot recovery and try once more

Please clear me one thing if anyone can :D

I'm on Ivan's latest 6.1.1 and extended my Partition by flashing Miui Alpha 5.12.17 ROM.. Now I'm on Ivan's with 1.2GB system space so can i directly flash the latest Miui 6.1.8 China Developer ROM based on 6.0 through TWRP?
[Mi 3 General] varun.singh286:
yes I think you can since MIUI itself has adopted single system partition now. Now worries. flash MIUI, AOSP,CM.

everything will work now.
[Mi 3 General] bluviper:
i really dont get it.. where is the 5.12.29 update? all i can see on the download section of MIUI is the 5.12.11 and 5.12.10
[Mi 3 General] luigieg:
The reason for flashing 5.12.17 in fastboot is to merge partitions for use with miui 7 mm or ivans 6.1.1 mm.
[Mi 3 General] bluviper:
yup, that part is clear, but when you have already re-partitioned, and kinda lost your revert zip file.

the only thing another member can suggest is to flash an original MI ROM via fastboot to recover that original partitions. hence, this process.
[Mi 3 General] luigieg:
Just checking........are you trying to install miu7 marshmallow or ivans marshmallow prior to the 6.1.1 update.
[Mi 3 General] bluviper:
my current setup is with CM12.1

my plan is:

1. Revert back to the stock partitions (using fastboot of the latest Global/Dev ROM)

2. After that, install 5.12.17 to get the extended 1.32gb partition

3. Then, install the 6.0 from this thread posted on the first page.

4. and decide whether to use Ivans or the Alpha Chinese ROM.

i hope im on the right path....

thanks for looking into it.
[Mi 3 General] luigieg:
Okay.....

1) The mm rom posted on the first page (5.10.30) does not require merged partition. Extended partion is enough. If you are now on cm12 and on extended partition, you are good to go.

2) You will need to flash 5.12.17 if.....

a) You will move to ivans latest 6.1.1 mm or

b) You will move to Miui mm.

3) The rom posted on the first page is ivans work as well (just not the latest one)

hth :)
[Mi 3 General] bluviper:
wow... now i understand. and now that you've said that...

I might as well move to Ivans 6.1.1 or MIUI MM version... whichever is the more usable daily driver.

much thanks.

so to recap. im on CM12.1 and i want to move to Ivans 6.1.1

i will still need to repartition to 1.32gb right? anyway i would like to use that partition other than that of 1.2gb or from 1.2gb extended partition, can i use the 1.32gb extended partition directly?

so in order to partition to 1.32gb i need the 5.12.17 rom. right?

then i can choose which MM ROM to use...

much thanks.
[Mi 3 General] luigieg:
Yes to move to ivans 61.1 you will need to be on merged partition. Flash 5.12.17 to merge partition via miui recovery. Be sure you are on stock partition and not on extended partition before doing this.

After merging partition, you can choose between ivans 6.1.1 or miu mm.

hth :)
[Mi 3 General] bluviper:
another update... got an error while on fastboot

"Unspecified error:(0x80004005: FAILED (remote size too large)"
[Mi 3 General] luigieg:
Why did you use MiFlash? Did you revert first to stock partition?

- That error message is shown when using MiFlash on extended partition.
[Mi 3 General] bluviper:
i wanted to revert to stock before installing 5.12.17 right?

anyway i got it working by following this guide. http://en.miui.com/thread-93248-1-1.html

wheeew!
[Mi 3 General] luigieg:
Good to know.

Cheers :)
[Mi 3 General] bluviper:

[Mi 3 General] varun.singh286:
Get past what???
[Mi 3 General] bluviper:
the blank screen everytime you install another ROM after 5.12.17

i got bricked too... and revived via miflash.

now that im on 5.12.17, can i just simply install TWRP and flash 6.1.11 from there
[Mi 3 General] Jo_Coleguita:
Is autoupdate or the updater running? I have 6.1.11 but my cousin says me that he has 6.1.12 and my updater says me that don't have update avaliable.
[Mi 3 General] yeshwanthravitheja:
After flashing 5.12.17 rom when I have flashed TWRP img using fastboot and boot into recovery it is showing "TWRP has detected an unmodified partition. TWRP can leave your partition unmodified to make it easier for you to take official updates.... " Is this abnormal ?? How can I stop it from reverting the recovery to stock one ?
[Mi 3 General] varun.singh286:
After fixing brick and getting back on 5.12.17, I again tried updating to 5.12.29 and it worked. then I flashed twrp and then this ivan rom.

I think I earlier briked my phone because I used the repartition zip to bring back dual partition so that i can install 5.12.17 via mirecovery. That zip was the problem.

Something went wrong with the partitions and that messed up the device.

So after using MiFlash, all the partitions became normal and in stock conditions and everything went fine and smooth after it.

If you're on 5.12.17 then yes now you can install 6.1.11 via the updater app but don't flash twrp right now.

And use the full rom package and not the OTA.

After updating to 6.1.11 then you can flash twrp.
[Mi 3 General] bluviper:
i cant seem to find 5.12.29, is it ok if i use 5.12.30? last time i did that, that bricked my mi 3

i am coming from 5.12.17 updated from a fastbooted global ROM (which returned my stock partitions) but I do experience bricking that time.

hhhmmm

how did you root 6.1.11?
[Mi 3 General] bluviper:
i think i have destroyed one of my partitions.. at first the error was with

fastboot flash boot1 boot.img

and the error is something like there is no partition like that.

so i tried Mi PC Suite hoping to get those partitions back.. but ended up 2hrs waiting for this

i think i have destroyed some partitions after i flashed UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46 hoping to get rooted.

is there a stock repartition script that can be flashed via MiFlash? Im still in fastboot tho.

can I use MIflash flash all options?

i just cant seem to find what ive done wrong...

1. restore to stock partitions

2. flash 5.12.17 via MIUI recovery (then booted)

3. flash 5.12.19 via updater (this is on my first try)

4. booted, but cant get connection to my PC no matter what options i choose

5. back to step 1 to number 2

6. tried a different approach by installing alpha 6.1.11 on updater after 5.12.17

7. resulted to continuous rebooting and installing, never entered MIUI

hhmm what's next?
[Mi 3 General] luigieg:
Can you enter fastboot?
[Mi 3 General] varun.singh286:
try a different rom. Like CM or AOSP. If the usb problem still present then maybe your usb port is malfunctioning.
[Mi 3 General] bluviper:
finally got it to work... the reason for the reboots was a low battery. phhheeesssh.

and i went install cm13 in the process... coz MIUI 6.1.11 from the Chinese, is giving me problems with google apps.
[Mi 3 General] Me_Ashish_:
Now this is bit much for overnight battery drain.

My Wi-Fi was 'not' on for any period more than a minute, all those stats are false.

Although, it did record 1% Wi-Fi use for 10 hr Wi-Fi on. Which is from past day I believe.

But the battery usage is actually done by Wi-Fi isn't the case mostly. It's false status as in general with ROMs, but the 1% was weird.

Airplane mode does help with battery drain.

Right now seems like I have to switch back to the flashaholic cycle until the drain gets fixed. (didn't wanted to flash any ROM, happened after quite long while with this ROM)

But now it is unable to mount /system. The phone won't boot (except for into recovery), and I can't flash anything cause there's no system... any idea what to do?

I wiped system, got 1253 MB (1233 free). Flashed 6.1.20 again, and again at the end /system stopped working...
