📃 Requirements for Flashing

🛠️ Flashing Instructions

  • Note 1: Use Platform-tools 34.0.4! Newer Versions have a bug that prevent flashing the vbmeta with Verification Disabled.

  • Note 2: There's an entire Telegram Group full for Custom ROMs for this Device! Use those instead for less Headaches.

  • Note 3: If you flashed a Custom Recovery (e.g: OrangeFox) You MUST Flash the Original Recovery! How FastbootD works in Custom Recoveries Completely break Flashing GSIs. A Symptom of this is your GSI Bootlooping forever after you reboot.

1. Unlock the Bootloader

There are many ways you can do this. I unlocked mine using the Mi Unlock tool on PC but that was 3 Years Ago.

2. Boot into Fastboot

You can do this with ADB using this Command: adb reboot bootloader You can also do it by Holding the Volume Down button while booting the Phone.

3. Verify that your PC sees the Phone

> fastboot devices should output something like this: 1e7c3794 fastboot

Otherwise, Install the Xiaomi USB Drivers!

4. Flash the vbmeta.img to Disable Android Verified Boot (AVB)

> fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta <path\to\vbmeta.img> <path\to\vbmeta.img> is placeholder for vbmeta.img from your Stock Firmware. Forgetting to do this step will Soft Brick your Phone. (It'll Bootloop)

5. Boot into FastbootD

> fastboot reboot fastboot Fastboot is for Flashing stuff like bootloaders. FastbootD is for flashing System Partitions.

6. Wipe System Partitions

> fastboot erase system > fastboot delete-logical-partition product_a > fastboot delete-logical-partition product_b This erases the system partitions, but also the logical partitions. Not deleting them can cause a 'out of space' error.

7. Flash the GSI

> fastboot flash system <path\to\system.img> <path\to\system.img> is placeholder for the GSI.

8. Wipe Userdata

> fastboot -w This wipes and prepares the User Data for the new ROM.

The way OrangeFox handled this made the GSI Unbootable after restarting from the first boot. (To be fair, the OrangeFox build i used was Unofficial, but i still don't recommend Custom Recoveries for FastbootD Flashing!)

9. Boot into the GSI

> fastboot reboot Reboot the Phone and attempt booting into the GSI.

10. Pray that it boots.

Now is the time you start Praying. Did the GSI Actually work? guess you'll just have to wait and see.

⚠️ If your phone bootloops, gets stuck at the Mi logo, or goes straight into Fastboot; Flash the stock firmware Immediately!
