Something happened when I tried to dirty update... internal storage says 0mb...

It's like it's not mounted. Any idea? I can't mount data from twrp as well...

I downloaded the update from crdroid at settings. Phone downloaded it and just rebooted as usually to twrp. Installed it from twrp.

And now I have this problem...

When I connect phone to PC says: this folder is empty

TWRP 3.3.1-0, a pretty old one.

I'm updating it.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] toscha42:

[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Lu41fer:
Is that how it should be? usually 11, 10 or 12 and here 22 giga

now everything is fine, maybe this is due to the fact that I threw off the game files in Obb data in the phone's memory

Fast charging is working now., but temperature is rising imediatly after plugin charger in 5 degree steps until (18w and 27watt charger). After reaching 45degree phone is cuting the line to protect hw. Using a 4000mah battery, I think this could be the problem. . Anybody facing the same problem? Is there a way to disable fc?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] pavoleo:
Correct :D
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Pistrie:
If I don't install DFE during my next dirty flash (update to newest crDroid 8 version) do I get an encrypted phone again? I flashed DFE during the clean flash but I don't like that my phone is not encrypted. Is there a reason that DFE is in the installation instructions?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] RealNBB:
TWRP can't handle encrypted A12 ROMs at the moment. But you can try PE Recovery. It's available on their homepage.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Pistrie:
I'm using OrangeFox at the moment, will that work?

Edit: what is the PE recovery homepage? All I can find is a sourceforge page with files from 2019
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] RealNBB:
No...OrangeFox will also not work.

Homepage --> Google "pixel experience" ;)

[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] betobsb:
I had the same problem! Always went offline google play store with any gapps package! The only package that worked for me was Nikgapps ( CORE ) Install the rom and gapps together and then boot. and it worked for me
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] nicky-xda:
I had this problem already with clean instal of the crDroid 8.5, was not able to get gapps to work, play store always offline. Frustrated, i changed to the Evolver ROM as gapps are integrated and working without issues.

Hi,

I can't hear the ring/knock sound when I call someone anymore since version 8.6. I hear absolutly nothing until the person on the other end picks up. I used version 7.19 before i switched to 8.6 where that worked fine. clean flashing 8.7 did not solve the issue.

Hope somebody can help me.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] raptorq99:
Hey, still happy with the ROM. Found one issue for me so far. From time to time the phone freezes on me, while it's on the charger with display off. Never experienced this when on battery. Only thing that helps then is long pressing the power button and rebooting. Anyone else experiencing the same?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Cassiar:
Thanks for the Rom! Works great overall.

One question: "Is these a way to refresh the widevine certificate such as in the xiaomi.EU Roms?"

My device is loosing the l1 certificate after some days. It doesnt matter which Rom I'm using.

The refresh always helped but i dont like to go back to xiaomi.eu.

Last version + clean installation

Hi,

I installed the previous version, after first boot i updated to last version, and then it never started. Freezed at boot.

So possibly it was because I didn't install DFE. And the TWRP I couln't acess local storage.

So where can I download the DFE ?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] sanaag:
you do not need DFE. Better use your phone encrypted:

[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] skrzeku_:
you should use Pixel Experience Recovery instead of twrp, twrp isnt working good with android 12

im using this method posted here by one of users, works perfectly fine, phone encrypted

[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Jakob18:
Thanks, now just need to know if it is possible to remove DFE and encrypt again :) or if I have to reinstall everything!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] RealNBB:
At that time I also tried to switch from an unencrypted phone with TWRP. So "simply" installed PE Recover and tried to boot....didn't work for me. Had to redo everything. But you can still try your luck. You can't lose anything. :)

But possibly after you have installed PE Recovery flash the ROM again using ADB. Maybe that will help.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ramzysnake:
what patch and yes i tried boot.img but i think i miss something
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] RealNBB:
You must extract the boot.img of the zip file of the ROM. Then patch this boot.img via Magisk App. Then flash the new created boot.img.

Hi!

I followed carefully every step of the "clean flash" described and installed in sequence:

twrp-3.4.0-10-cepheus-mauronofrio.img

xiaomi.eu_multi_MI9_V12.5.6.0.RFACNXM_v12-11.zip (mine was older)

Magisk-v25.2.zip (renamed .zip from .apk)

DFE.zip

TWRP_CEPHEUS_Fix_WiFi_v1.0.zip (unless i flash this i cannot have wifi)

I have these problems:

- PixelLauncher continue to stop (searched in the thread on xda but no consistent answers);

- Impossible to access to loaded app list (i'm on NOVA Launcher, last release);

- No gesture from the bottom (no short one nor long one) edges ones are working;

Any idea please?

Hi, I have a similar problem, the gesture navigation does not work for me. When I switch back to the two or three button navigation. The buttons never appear. Even after rebooting the phone.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Koubiacz:
I found what was wrong, you have to go in settings and display the navigation bar, when you switch from gesture to 3 button mode, this option remains on OFF by default.

Small problem of ergonomy but it works. :)
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Bugscze:
SIM in slot 2 is often unreachable for few hours with newest version from 26-07-2022. It was present in some of earlier versions too. When someone wants to call me it says I'm unreachable like with phone off and SMS aren't received too. But phone is on and calls on SIM in slot 1 are working correctly. It resolves itself after some hours or when I restart phone.

Does anyone have similiar issue?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ollihol:
Hey everyone,

Wanted to check with you if others face my issue as well:

From time to time parts of the touchscreen don't react to any input. Affected is the lower part of the screen around the area where the fingerprint reader is. A bit to both sides and below.

Interesting is that it stays the same when I rotate the phone by 180°. Quite annoying as some letters on the keyboard also don't work.

On landscape mode it seems to work fine.

After a reboot it is working again.

This occurs independent from the launcher I use, happened on Nova and on the crdroid one.

Any thoughts?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] gienkov:
I have the exact same issue, the area that is affected seems to be around fingerprint reader. Only reboot fixes it and it comes back very fast usually...
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] P.Sahm:
Sometimes I cannot enter recent apps menu using gesture, the animation just bounced back.

To anyone having problems with new builds of crDroid.

The latest version showed on webpage is 12, but it's 12.1, and the linked Gapps are for 12. You need to download Gapps for android 12.1 (SL).

Typical issues of wrong Gapps:

Pixel launcher keeps crashing

Freezes on anything

Problems with do anything on the phone - pixel launcher crashes and crDroid launcher

Missing menus options

I did nothing in particular, the phone offered me to do the update, which I accepted, and since then it is blocked on the reboot screen. For me there is a problem with the OTA update, because the phone was installed for 1 week. I don't have any particular application.

The recovery is still working.

[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Redock:
Just got a question.

So if I have encrypted phone, and there will be new update.

Updating will be successful?

Or there will be an error, and I will be in need to install it manually (clean).

I don't want to install DFE because I got workspace from my work, and this require encrypted phone.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] toscha42:
Of course you an update an encrypted Mi 9 as well. You just can't easily install an OtA update since no current custom recovery can read encrypted data partition and hence wouldn't find the downloaded update.

Instead you need to store the update file either on a PC and from there sideload the update. Or you put it on an USB OtG (on the go) stick and install from there using TWRP.

Cheers
