Step number 16 (please read again my post carefully)

Just after flash 8.8.28 and flash magisk.zip you must edit build.prop and change name ro.product.name=polaris > ro.product.name=popolaris and you will get running well into homescreen.

I've had the exactly same problem. I solved it doing this:

1 - disable wifi and mobile data

2 - disable autosync

3 - remove mi account and google account

4 - turn it off, let it settle for 5 minutes

5 - while off, charge it to 100%

6 - remove from the charger

7 - turn it on and wait 10 minutes

When I did this, I didn't notice system awake anymore, so I signed in google account again, enabled autosync, wifi and mobile data and everything seems pretty normal until now.

ARB will only activate itself when you come from ex. anti 2 to anti 1, not from anti 1 to nothing.

And yes guys, it seems Xiaomi started to implement ARB on MIX 2S, whether you like it or not it was only a matter of time. Copypasting an old image from xiaomi.eu website that says otherwise won't revert it. If bootloader returns any anti value, ARB is active.

So far it's safe to downgrade, until we got an update with anti value 2 or greater.

No response.... Assuming I am doing it right, no ARB on global 8.9.4

It worked fine for me with the last two Global Android Pie beta builds. Did you remove your lockscreen security before booting into the Chinese TWRP?

---------- Post added at 03:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 AM ----------

After you flash your MIUI zip and boot into the system reinstall TWRP.. Once it's installed choose the advanced reboot tab and select reboot into recovery.. After you have rebooted from TWRP directly back into TWRP instead of the system TWRP should stick until you flash another MIUI zip.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] mattman83:
Twrp works, you have to use the ADB sideload feature. Can't see internal storage but can still flash. Latest magisk works fine for me, but recommended you flash immediately after rom (in your case I would dirty flash rom and then magisk, even if it's the same rom version).

M.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] slavke1976:
Thank you.

Just to be sure, to do sideload i have to put ROM and Magisk zip files to folder of ADB and then boot on TWRP on Phone, then in advaced go to sideload and on CMD on PC just write adb sideload ROM.zip and after Magisk.zip
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] mattman83:

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] jhs39:
Chinese TWRP reads the storage on Android Pie for me fine as long as I remove the lockscreen security before booting into recovery. I haven't needed to sideload any updates since switching to that version of TWRP. But I don't leave TWRP installed on my phone and let it revert back to stock recovery when I boot into the system. Maybe TWRP behaves differently if you keep it installed in place of the stock recovery because some people say it doesn't decrypt the memory on their phones.
