Hello.

It seems to me you have a lot of reading to do and a lot of catching up.

Bear in mind that all of us in here clearly take the risk of loosing warranty, since all the roms are home made and not official from htc. This means that

it is solely your responsibility

if something goes wrong.

I respect the fact that you are not noobish but for PDA stuff treat yourself that you are noobish and read from scratch ( friendly advice to avoid probs)

If you want a suitable rom for you

it comes down to you and only you

to take the risk and start trying what is availlable.

No one can tell you what is suitable for you and if it will work or not etc etc., quality and functionality is totally subjective

I repeat that if you want to try you must get used to the fact of warranty is void with these roms

.

So lets begin.

1. understanding what you do is important so here you are: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=416211 THIS IS THE BIBLE

2. Roms: look in the forum for the varius roms, see the specs, progs, if you like it try, if not, try another one

keep in mind the above link. read it carefully if you do not want to end up with a bricked device. follow instruction carefully

Finally, i have been flashing roms for a year now in 3 htc devices i have come across and never ever ended up with a brick, however, no warranty.

and again there are ways to get the device back to original state for warranty reasons, you will get there in the forum, but get to know the stuff well and understand them befor you do anything.

Lastly, always read before you ask since most what you need, there is an answer in here.

I hope i have helped you as much as i could and i hope you will get your device up and running with the stuff in here, thanks to the amazing hard work and knowledge of the members/senior members/mods/admins/cooks etc (i hope i have not left anyone out :):):) )

Greetings
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] TomInMB:
Keep in mind that *almost all* of the ROMs available here on the diamond forum are for the GSM version of the diamond, NOT the CDMA version (which is what the TELUS model is). Good luck with you research.

[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] moufoo:
After a first successful attempt at unlocking, flashing WW-XXXXXX.raw (on an EU model) and flashing Magisk one, evening my phone suddenly stopped recognizing my SIM.

I tried updating using the latest OTA official file, which messed up my phone even further (no vibrations, air triggers are bugging, no fingerprint unlock)

So I backed everything up and started going through the process from step 1. But I noticed something strange, while I have the "bootloader is unlocked" message, upon reaching recovery and entering Fastboot, I see the following line "Secure boot - yes", which to my undersanding appears in case of a locked bootloader.

Also when trying the flash_all cmd, I now get "fastboot: error: project name () mapping the wrong raw id (0x33)"

Does anyone have pointers on what to try out ?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
Secure boot and a locked bootloader are not the same. If you are entering fastboot through recovery, it may not be the bootloader. Make sure you are backed up, turn the phone off, then hold volume up when booting.

If you come to a screen with giant block words, you are in the bootloader. Now you want to use the flash_all and let it wipe your data.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] moufoo:
Yep, found that out by myself ><

In fact I was mistaking the bootloader and fastbootd which both make the device appear when using "fastboot devices"

Everything went smoothly from there

I am very new to this kind of stuff. I recently bought a used car with a px5 hu installed, seller factory reset. When I go to activate zlink its asking for for the device to be synched with the internet time. My phone and and head unit are on Chicago central time.

Q. Why not use Mi-Flash?

A. Because one may easily accidently Clean All and Lock with different region MIUI and brick the device.

Go Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40 and see how many users brick their device using Mi-Flash.

Be sure to check ARB index of MIUI.

Q. Why flash MIUI with TWRP not Fastboot?

A. To check you actually had unlocked bootloader. Without unlocked bootloader, you shouldn't be able to boot into TWRP.

Q. Widevine issues?

A. Read threads in spoiler:

Thanks for your efforts bro..
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Faysal_khan_070:
i just unlocked the bootloader of my poco x3 pro 6/128 global stable(VAYU) and tired to root it with Magisk method before that i found a patched file of boot image from a post and i just directly did the flashing now its stuck in the MIUI logo dont know what to do next anyone can help me out with this,,, and im going to attached the boot image aswell try to look at it if its fine and what should i do next. :(
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
Are you sure your phone is Global? Which country?

What version of MIUI?

How did you flash your boot image?

What partition did you flash the boot image into?

Were you using this one? If yes, flash the boot.img from here into your phone boot partition and see if your phone can boot up.

Boot your phone into Fastboot or TWRP. If you can, there's still hope. Do the step in above Unlock bootloader step 18.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Faysal_khan_070:
YES, im dam sure its GLOBAL and im from Pakistan.

it was the MIUI 12.0.4 BUT Before unlocking it i updated to MIUI 12.0.6

ok so i just followed the MAGISK method and i downloaded a patched file from a post now i don't know where to find that post but it was for the MIUI 12.0.6 so i started to flash it through fastboot mode with a PC and i was done with it but when i pass on the command to reboot my phone it took so much time and then i released that it was stuck there in the LOGO . now im downloading the full ROM of miui 12.0.6(fasboot) to see if i can patch the boot image from there and hope it work. :(
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
How you going to patch boot image if you cannot get into MIUI and use Magisk to patch boot.img?

You will need another phone to do that though.

Safe way is to do a complete clean data format and flash MIUI Rom.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Faysal_khan_070:
i have another phone to patch it but the problem is what version should be used for patching magisk 22 or the latest one? how to flash miui rom and can i now go back to miui 12.0.4?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Faysal_khan_070:
i flashed the boot image from this attachment and its still stuck in there.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
Now my suggestion is to do a Clean complete Rom install. So all your data and files will be gone.

If you agree to clean all your data, follow above Clean Flash custom ROMs. Start from step 8. When you need to get into Fastboot, do it manually.

You don't need to download ArrowOS. Download MIUI 12.0.6.0 Recovery Rom and flash through TWRP.

Don't think of Magisk and MIUI 12.0.4.0 just yet. First get back to be able to see MIUI working.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] spookykidmm:
Do I have to keep a SIM card in the phone throughout the entire unlock process? I would be taking it out of my actual daily driver phone so I'm just curious
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
You don't have to keep that SIM card after you done Unlock bootloader step 6.

You can remove your SIM card once step 6 was done. But you still need to have the number accessible to receive SMS if Mi-Account ask for verification.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
Loss from Unlocking bootloader is written in above tutorial.

Partition backup is generally not needed if you do things correctly. For now, even if you have full backup of qcn, maybe can't even restore.

Or find a Windows PC.

Or find USB drive and make a Windows To Go bootable disk. With this, you can boot from USB that contains Windows inside while not removing your Linux and MacOS.

I have the latest arrow os on poco x3 pro now. But magisk failed to be installed.

It rebooted fastboot mode repeatedly after flashing magisk_patched_[random_strings].img.

If I flash original boot.img, it can be rebooted to system.

More than this i do not know, never had such hang issues, you should poke @pl1992aw if the issue persist.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
Maybe not deadly as bricked yet, should still have hope.

Follow Section 2 Clean flash completely.

Format data (Section 2 step 16) is important.

If you have TWRP, start from Section 2 step 14.

Use new version ROMs zip files and flash it through TWRP.

[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] k3lcior:
Yes, MIUI is just for a backup.

For your case, you do not need to flash MIUI.

Or can I just borrow a friend's SIM temporarily (for an hour or so) just to be able to click the button for step 6?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
Borrow a friend's SIM that can use and click the button for step 6, then you can give the SIM back. It should take only a few seconds.

You don't really need SIM in other steps.

[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] arik100:
it would seem that if you install magisk and hide it , and then install other rom and install magisk the previous installation of magisk is interfering.

you should remove the old magisk which is hiding (default name of the hidden app is "settings" under apps).

then it works like a charm.

[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] sandi052:
I had a MI6 and to install Magisc was an easy process, where it was installed from recovery etc.

Now I owe a X3 Pro, I unlocked it and installed twpr on it, same process as MI6

Next I need to do is to install Magisc. If I understood correctly for new prones like X3 Pro we now need to flash a patched boot.img partition on a phone instead of installing Magisc trough recovery like it was done on MI6.

My X3 Pro have stock miui version 12.5.4.0 (RJUEUXM) so I downloaded from the internet a file called

miui_VAYUEEAGlobal_V12.5.4.0.RJUEUXM_c58b88dbee_11.0.zip

boot.img is present in the archive. Is it safe for me to use that boot.img, patch it from the Magisc app and then flash it to the phone?

also, I will have to repeat this process each time a new miui is released?

Can we somehow install magisc like a zip file, like it was done on the MI6?

thanks a lot

then I realized, vanced is no more a Magisc module

then I realized, patching boot.img was necesary when recovery was still not working on the X3 pro... (and/or due to some dynamic partitions, not sure what's that still :D)

now I have to figure out how to pass SafetyNet :D and that's it for now :D

thanks again
