For some reason updating like that always redirects me to recovery too..

Here's what you can do to install the updates if your phone is encrypted like mine:

1. Download the latest evo update from SF or the mirror links provided above

2. Copy the zip file to an external sd card, if ur phone doesn't support it then copy it to an usb using an ota adapter

3. Go to twrp then select the usb/sd card on mount storage and install:)

There's another method to install updates from pc too but i am not good at it so others might help..
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] Abhi@titan:
sorry for noob questions, but is there any easy to understand guide on how to flash the EvoX rom on K20 Pro for the first time ? I am currently running stock MIUI. Bought a second hand device and want to give it a fresh lease of life. I am at a complete loss here.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] moviefirst:
@joeyhuab, thx for keeping our k20 pro alive.

Keep up the great work.

Just send you something for a cup of coffee

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] whosucks:
Just moved over from Evo 12, everything has been working great!
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] Danacy:
No problem. Installing this ROM is the same as for any other custom ROM, so the procedure for this can be found everywhere. For example on YouTube there is an extensive amount of videos with step-by-step procedure on how to install a custom ROM.

First of all; you need to unlock the bootloader of your device. Officially through Xiaomi:

Apply for unlocking Mi devices

en.miui.com

This takes like 3 weeks waiting time so better start now :)

Install TWRP recovery next (look up on YouTube 'how to install recovery Xiaomi'

Install custom ROM (same procedure for all recent custom ROMs.)

Done

Since Android 12 some things have changed so take recent created videos!
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] astro_bot:
If u have

Unlock the bootloader

I unlocked it through mi unlock tool and it hardly took me 10mins 🤔
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] Danacy:
That is an exception then. I had it too in the past but all recent devices give me the 3 weeks waiting time, what I read that is the standard.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] joeyhuab:
The final update for January is out! FM radio is back, FOD flickers have been fixed, screen off FOD unlock has been improved. Regarding FOD unlock, it no longer times out when the device is sleeping, so screen-off unlocking is more accurate/responsive. Those are the most significant changes for this one. I hope you like the latest update and continue supporting by donating!

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] Danacy:
@joeyhuab, thanks again! I searched for it but can't really find it for certain: what recovery do you recommend? I have OrangeFox but I can't do updates without full format. Probably a noobish encryption thing on my end but cannot remember I had this in the past.

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] Imperator_Dei:
Hi! I flashed latest update with twrp with no problem, the rom is smooth as usual 👍

I was wondering if you were planning on adding dual speaker mod so that sound could come from both the main speaker and the earpiece speaker. Thanks again for your work!
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] Peter the Great:
I remember trying that mod back on A10. The two speakers were not in sync (I think 100ms delay) and the main speaker was so much louder than the earpiece speaker that you could only notice it was playing at full volume. Now I haven't followed since then if the mod has fixed these issues, namely making the earpiece play way louder at the same volume level to match the main speaker (until it can't go any louder, obviously), and making them in sync.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] Draven4:
I think that's a very fast way of f*cking up your earpiece speaker, honestly lol
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] buryeng:
Hi, i flashed the unofficial ofox, then enabled the disable dm verity and disable forced encryption in Ofox OTA & ROM Settings.

Then flashed latest Evo X Rom > flash Magisk > Reboot System.

But it always boots to Recovery Mode, unless if I flash DFE.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] blackout no1:
I had this issue too, install unofficial orange fox and it should be fixed. I'm pretty sure Joey linked it a couple pages back.

Nope. There's a reason these things stay as mods.

Turn off parallel space if you don't want them.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] mehul92mehta:
Thanks for the Reply, But i am using parallel space for only Gpay & WhatsApp. I didn't enabled for other apps, yet still they are appearing like FM radio,Camera & Scanner. Is there any way I can hide them?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] joeyhuab:
FYI all those apps you mentioned have just been recently added and not yet included in ParallelSpace blocklist. Can't you just use it as is?

I spent an afternoon trying to calibrate the color in 102Hz, only to find that it is difficult to get it to a perfect state. The final parameters I got were 65, 61 and 71. This result can only be said to be barely satisfactory. I have done my best, and this may be the limit of this screen...
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] mpdpsycho:
Hello @joeyhuab, first off, thank you very much for your work, I'm a user for several years now.

I recently updated to this latest build (I stayed on the stable android 10 version for years).

I have a principal issue : sometimes, the batterie drop. From whatever is the percentage to 0% in a second. No heat from the phone.

I had this issue twice while watching YouTube short, I had a video freeze but I was still able to use the phone and then the phone shut down.

Lastly it happened while registering a new fingerprint.

The rom is working great beside that. But I'm in fear that this happen when I'm not in capacity to charge the phone.

And I have not error or message, the batterie just die to a good 0% because it takes 5 min to go to 1% then the charging speed becomes normal.

Thanks again for your work.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] joeyhuab:
Have you installed the latest firmware zip linked in the main post before updating to the latest version of the ROM?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] mpdpsycho:
I was careful to follow every step and installed the firmware V12.5.1.0.RFKEUXM that I got from your post 👌

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] Mr.Brownstone97:
Hello, maybe it is not your firmware, it happened to me once I installed a version that was not and well, the result was not good, now I have my RFKMIXM and it works fine, but it depends on each device I guess
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] wowandroid:
Hello guys. I desperately need your help!!!!

I've got Evolution X rom installed on mi 9T pro (K20 pro). It now states that there is a 1.99gb update. So I go ahead and ask it to download and install it. It downloads fine, but when I choose INSTALL/APPLY UPDATE, it shows a message that once I've chosen OK the device will restart. But when I choose OK, nothing happens and it's back to it's previous screen. However when I check the notifications, there it states the following:

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks

System just hangs when using camera and some apps such as Google Maps, and magically unhangs when pressing and holding my finger in the area below the fingerprint sensor. Any idea what's causing this?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] articuno1_au:
What's weird is that I can successfully flash it (both from recovery and fastboot), but I can't boot into it. I get the Ofox splash screen, it sits there for ~15 seconds, then reboots back to system.

Anyone got any ideas as to why that might be?

Thanks in advance.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] blackout no1:
Have you tried flashing it again? Or maybe try going back to previous version then back to it.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] articuno1_au:
Yeah, I reflashed it. That didn't work, so I re-downloaded and re-flashed it.

I can flash back to the official Orangefox build, and that loads as expected. I then flashed forward again and back to the bootloop. I'm baffled tbh.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] blackout no1:
Damn, I'm sure someone on here with more experience will be able to help you out. I'm not the most experienced sorry.

What? I shared the problem and the solution for others to help 🤷
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] EzerchE:
It's because your refresh rate is higher than 60hz. Try lower the apps frequencies to 60 hz.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] DatsWhtSheSaid:
After you flash the ROM, use the wipe (dalvik and something else) option that's on that page - go back to the main wipe tab - do a full format - then reboot. It worked for me today.

I cant boot my system with root, only if i update without magisk system is up. Any ideas?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] cris2d2:
I tried yesterday to dirty flash the latest build (using the latest TWRP official) but without success.

I flashed using the same steps (ROM, Magisk, DFE) as I always did but this time something has changed that prevented the update - phone booted back to recovery.

I have root with Magisk 25.2, different modules that never interfered with dirty flashing. System build is "13 TD1A.221105.001". The firmware is the latest A11 file for Global device.

Maybe my OS it's too old?...

Is clean flash mandatory for the latest build? Or clean flash AND data format mandatory? Maybe, I don't know, but I really don't have the time to configure everything again from scratch.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] mitos345:
On the build from 22.01.2023 "evolution_raphael-ota-tq1a.230105.001.a2-01220928-unsigned.zip" everything with root works fine. But on rom from 25.01.2023 after installing root device return to recovery.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] cris2d2:
So, it's a fact. Thanks for confirming it.

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] Imperator_Dei:
I'm used to install updates by wiping caches/system/vendor and flashing latest update, but with the latest one I lost fast charging.

The fix if someone is experiencing it is wiping caches/system/vendor as mentioned above then flashing the correct firmware for your phone then flashing the update. I though this could help someone else.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] wowandroid:
Hey, was this reply for me? Sorry it's just you didn't mention any names.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] articuno1_au:
I couldn't get into the recovery to do that, the problem being that recovery was broken.

That said, I did manage to work it out. I went and looked at the PRs for the new Orangefox and worked out its only changes were encryption key wrapping related. I was running a pre wrapped encryption key build of the ROM. The new version of Orangefox wasn't handling that correctly, so it was crashing.

I flashed back the older recovery, formatted data and system, installed the latest ROM. After getting it set up, I flashed the new recovery again and now everything is working.

Hopefully this will help anyone else who comes across it. If anyone is running the older versions of the ROM still and wants to decrypt, the same author has an earlier build of Orangefox that successfully decrypts the older encryption format in Orangefox. Would recommend.

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] mpdpsycho:
Thanks for your fast answer

After checking few more stuff about the issue. Like the fact that there were no heat at all from the phone when it happened and that there was no application guilty for that consumption. So I thought about something else than the software part.

I recently changed the battery, like 2 weeks ago...

And the battery is at fault, it seems to be a defective one that sometimes have a drop of power. I just checked it with a pro.

Thanks again and keep the great work!
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] wowandroid:
Thanks mate. If you don't mind me asking, how are you doing the sideloads and does it mean that you are losing any data that you've already got on it?

Dear Devs,

thank you very much for giving us this beautiful Android13 ROM.

You are awesome!

Cheers....Henry
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] astro_bot:
To apply the updates follow these steps

*Download the latest update from here

*Move it to a sd card, if ur phone doesn't support sd card use an usb with an otg adapter

*Boot your recovery

*Wipe cache and dalvik

*Then select your sd card/usb on mount storage

and install

*Then wipe cache again and reboot...Hope this helps
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] wowandroid:
Thanks very much for the detailed and helpful steps. Since my phone doesn't have an sd card slot, I'll have to get an otd adapter. Thanks again. Much appreciate it.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] astro_bot:

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] whosucks:
You really don't have to buy one, if the file is on your pc, just adb sideload. If it's already on the phone because you downloaded it OTA, just try to find the zip and install it from recovery.

EDIT: I've had this issue for a few days and I really didn't want to ask here and now right after I asked I managed to get it working.

Installed OrangeFox recovery and tried the built in otc update which worked. Before I only did the manual zip flash because twrp didn't support the built in update (or I just had an old version of it? idk)

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] wowandroid:
Cheers for clarifying that.

I don't have twrp - I have Orangefox Recovery so any instructions for that would be greatly appreciated.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] Imperator_Dei:
It's the same thing as twrp, just use your common sense and you should be alright, from memory orangefox is the pretty much the same as twrp.

In the long run I would suggest you install TWRP instead of orangefox, the dev said that orangefox was appropriate for an older build and that it's no longer needed nowadays. (somewhere in this thread)
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] wowandroid:
Sure, thanks. If I may ask, how do I replace Orangefox recovery with TWRP without messing things up? Is there a guide that I could follow?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] trelokeeper:
No guide needed, just flash the recovery
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] wowandroid:
Thanks for confirming. I'm sure there are different versions of TWRP (official and unofficial?) Which one do I get and could you kindly provide a link? Thanks!

Also a quick separate question - I now have the latest Evo X installed, but for some reason notifications from all apps are being suppressed. Do you or anyone else know how to stop this happening? For example I'm getting no notifications when I receive an email to my gmail account.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] Imperator_Dei:
To add my grain of salt, the only time you'll need to wipe data while wanting to install a recovery is when you lock/unlock bootloader, except from that no data wipe is required whenever you install updates or change recoveries except when Joeyhuab specifically says so.

Official twrp for raphael is the one I'm using, just install the latest on their website (twrp.me)
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] astro_bot:
For the 1st qs: Here are the available twrp versions for k20 pro/mi 9t pro, download any one and install and for the 2nd qs: Whenever you download or install an app it's notification is turned off by default and u need to manually turn it on in the app settings...if u are still not receiving any notifications then scroll down a bit in app settings and turn off "pause app activity" hope this will work
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] wowandroid:
Cheers mate. That's really helpful

For now I'm gonna hold fire changing orangefox to twrp. and my reason is that I've newly moved from MIUI so I want to try and get used to using the EVO X Pixel rom as naturally I'm finding it a bit awkward to use. This is just in the very unlikely event I don't like it, then I'd rather do both, i.e change rom and recovery together.

But your advise on notifications is spot on and I'm now getting notifications come through for my calendar. Only odd issue I'm finding is that I can't silence the notification without having to sign in and manually turn it off. On MIUI, I could simply press either power or volume keys, but not sure how to do this on the EVO X rom.
