[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] cd993:
Unfortunately part of the initial installation process with twrp is to format data (not just format the data partition, but a full data wipe), which then allows twrp to see contents of the intental storage.

You'll need to backup all of your data, perform the TWRP Format Data option (the one where you need to type "yes") and then proceed. Once you've done this flashing updates will be simple as dirty flashing, as I too am on EU rom.

See my guide here (it's long, but shows how I also skipped that step of formatting data and what I needed to do to fix it):

Have you read the installation instructions from official xiaomi.eu website?

It clearly says: "FORMAT /data partition (NEVER wipe System or Persist!)"

---------- Post added at 05:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 PM ----------

But it's not working on "-10" version and it's mandatory to FORMAT /data at the moment in order to acces the internal memory from TWRP, correct?

Don't want to be rude or pressing in any way, but have you managed to work on this TWRP lately?

Do you have the device for testing?

Need help in any way to progress with the development?

Thank you for your work!

I flashed it and now my phone only boots in twrp im stuck. What ca i do ?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] doggydog2:
True, for the transparency, i'd like to add very important 'OTG not working' on the first page.

With broken heart i bought two phones without SD cards, something unimaginable, just to cuddle myself "don't worry you will have tiny USB flashdrive with you". So i bought special Kingston flashdrive with USB on one side and USB-C on other side (120MB/s reading, 40MB/s writing, enough for slow 6T & Mi9 USB2 transfer). And it doesn't work on this recovery. That can hurt on the holiday, in the pub or anywhere where you don't have the flashing laboratory (PC) with you:) Once problem arrives, a wrong setting or xposed module, and you're bricked until you find a PC. I personally also don't flash from PC, except Odin work.

Thanks a lot for this. Putting TWRP and flashing EU version was super easy and fast (flash, format, reboot to recovery, flash ROM, flash Magisk, reboot - done, rooted).

Hi guys. I tried to flash TWRP today with version twrp-3.2.3-1-cepheus-mauronofrio.img and test-twrp-3.2.3-0-cepheus-mauronofrio.img.

When I use 3.2.3-1 from this post I cannot boot into TWRP. fastboot reboot recovery is not a recognized command and when I use vol+ during boot I get also into fastboot mode.

When I do the same with TWRP 3.2.3-0 I get stuck on the TWRP splash screen and cannot access the menu.

any idea? ROM is global 10.2.15.0 stable
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] JustATiredMan:
Thanks

Hello all,

I can confirm TWRP 3.2.3-10 by mauronofrio works.

Just installed on my MI 9 CH 8/128 version, and flashed xiomi eu V10.2.16.0.PFACNXM_v10-9.

As already mentioned in previous posts, i had to format data partition and backup doesn't works, but for flashing, wiping and conventional flashing options, works fine.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Iceball24:
Hi, had you any issues flashing xiomi.eu ROM?

I managed yesterday evening to get all done. What worked for me was TWRP from other thread "TWRP-3.2.3-MI9-wzsx150-fastboot.zip".

I had also to wipe interal storage to get rid of encryption.

After all I was able to flash xiamoi.eu rom but had to change device name in update script to xiaomi9 as stated in this post https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/9-3-14.49609/post-476766 (also had to change the name again for todays update to 9.4.11).

The only issue I got now is that the default launcher showed black screen and after update today crashes instantly. No issue so far as I use the nova launcher but would get a solution why.

I was able to solve the issue after a hint on xiaomi.eu forum: you have to update your webview application. I needed to access the beta program and update to the latest beta version. this fixed system launcher and is working fine now. should also solve all other crashes for apps in this rom.

The question is also why is my (and as far as I can see in the forums also of others) device other than the rest?

I use global (should be) device MI9 128GB/6GB version.

as I told xiaomi.eu rom looks for cepheus but mine is called xiaomi9. Are there two device models? (beside chinese and global version)

Maybe [MENTION=4712355]mauronofrio[/MENTION] has an idea?

Hi, No, i didn't had any issue.

I had followed these steps:

- unlocked bootloader

- installed Mauronofrio unofficial twrp from fastoboot and command line, as described in many tutorial

- rebooted on recovery mode, holding volume up and power button

- formatted data partition to remove encryption

- rebooted in recovery mode again, to remount data partition now without encryption.

- transferred xiaomi.eu to internal storage (twrp has its own mtp mode to permit transfer by usb-pc).

- wiped system, dalvik and cache.

- flashed xiaomi.eu zip, from internal storage

- reboot and after some minutes i got my mi 9 full worked

[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] JustATiredMan:
I wiped system partition because my MI 9 is a chinese version, and so, coming from an official chinese miui rom, i wanted to be sure to make a clean install.

Maybe what you mention, to not wipe system partition, is related when you want to update an xiaomi.eu rom previously flashed.

Anyway, even my MI 9 is working, i am curious and i would like to have more details on reasons about wiping or not wiping system partion.

yes for sure. would just be intresting what stopps the TWRP from this thread to be working and if this can be fixed easily?

Need to know if most users of this thread have the chinese version or if someone with the global can use the TWRP from here. Mabye we/I get some anserwers during the next weeks.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ger_kar:
Hello, the RECOVERY 3.2.3-10 was easy to install, which did not work was the flashing of the Rom 9.4.11 xiaomi.eu + Magisk 19.0, it was always started in the RECOVERY 3.2.3-10.

How it worked: Flash 9.3.28 xiaomi.eu + Magisk 19.0. Start the system and then switch back to RECOVERY 3.2.3-10, then flash the Rom 9.4.11 xiaomi.eu + Magisk 19.0 and start and enjoy the system.

[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] doggydog2:
TWRPin' Mi9

afaik there's naming conflict, chinese call it xiaomi9. the correct name for us is cepheus. this creates several problems:

- the TWRP by LR.Team/wzsx150 can't flash this firmware as it gives error 7 (id mismatch), if you wanna hack it every week, there you go (could script it, but it's a trivial fast operation with Far manager and it works:cool:):

s/r "abort(\"E3004" -> "ui_print(\"E3004" in <zip>\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script

- this TWRP "can't" flash OTA as it's encrypted, so that UI download convenience is useless for both TWRPs at the moment

- you possibly can't flash another firmware (AOSP) on top of xiaomi.eu as of this identification confusions (some ROMs specifically warn about it) -> as i think of it further i see the xiaomi.eu check is the only culprit as i flashed everything else with any method.. so i don't get the AOSP ROM warning

- xiaomi.eu is also specific in patching system and vendor, and to patch you need something there first. I simply extract system.img and vendor.img from stock ROM (e.g. cepheus_global_images_9.3.1_20190301.0000.00_9.0_global_cdb3885bac.tgz), then slap it inside with

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash vendor vendor.img

. of course i'd be scared to flash the whole package and lose unlock (although it's script driven so it's easy to remove, but why try luck and waste more time?)

correct me if wrong. i beg for OTG functionality as a top priority, encryption is second and backups 3rd. it really sucks now to keep swapping TWRPs. thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Causical:
Sorry to all you die hard Samsungers, don't beat me with a stick over this one, but as far as I know it right now the only viable option coming from a OnePlus 6T would be to go through T-Mobile with a trade in with a value of $390 towards an S10 purchase. Is there anyone who knows of a deal for an unlocked variant if I want to trade my 6T?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Ace42:
Sell the phone for $500-550. TMobile version seems to fetch a lower price than the unlocked in the used market.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Causical:
Are you referring to the T-Mobile version of the 6T fetching a lower trade in value than the unlocked version, because I have the unlocked version... I'm fairly certain that my 6T will fetch the same trade in value as an S9 at TMobile

Although your recommendation for selling the 6T to buy an unlocked S10 outright is appealing, however I don't think, in the used market, that a 6T in any condition will fetch 500 when you can get a brand new one for almost that price.

TMobile may be my only option. I can get 390 off $1000 for the S10+ which will bring the price down to around 700 which I'll pay in installment payments... Only problem is my down payment will probably be large (hopefully not more than 500).

Also I'm pretty sure TMobile allows for Sim unlocking after the device is paid off.

I have searched but can't find any threads about changing the WiFi and/or Phone signal strength bars and volume control icons. I'd like to make some replacement icons in color. Does anyone know the names of the icons, and where they are located and/or if there is a reg edit that I need to change to use the new icons? Do I need to cook then into a ROM or can I change them without a re-cook?

Thanks in advance.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] lightninjay:
I too have been looking into a way of doing this.

I used to own a Razr V3C instead of a PPC or smart phone and when dealing with these types of icons on a phone like that you had to deal with what was known as the DRM and was part of the flash or ROM as it is known in the PPC community.

Thus far, I have not been able to find something similar on the PPC. :(

Any suggestions or expertise on the subject would be greatly appreciated! :)
