MIUI 13 MIUI 13 STABLE RELEASE


Hello everyone! I'm running into an issue trying to get my Poco F2 Pro from the EOL weekly to the latest stable. The installation with TWRP seems to go fine, but when I try to restore my backup I get these errors at the very end.

failed to mount /system_root (invalid argument)
failed to mount /system_ext (invalid argument)
failed to mount /product (invalid argument)
failed to mount /vendor (invalid argument)
failed to mount /odm (invalid argument)

Am I missing something obvious? I've always done the same when going to a different version of the same rom with no issues, but last time was a while ago, so I might have overlooked something
Yes, using the search function on this forum. This has been reported dozens of times and affects nothing unless you're flashing more zips after installing the rom. Before that you'll see in the log that it installed fine.

I forgot to say that its not just the error, the phone wont boot to system and keeps rebooting to recovery. All I could find was "dont worry it installed fine", which is not my case sadly

Just because the latest stable was released after the EOL weekly doesn't necessarily mean it is newer and safe to dirty flash to. You'll probably want to reflash that EOL weekly and see if you can get it to boot, then backup your important data to try wiping \data\. If it still won't boot, you're going to have to backup everything you can through recovery (ie with a usb OTG adapter and flash drive, or though ADB) and wipe anyway.

First of all, thank you for taking the time to help me. I didnt dirty flash, I format data before installing the latest stable. I'm currently trying to reflash the EOL and see if I can get it to boot.

You said "when I try to restore my backup".
You're not supposed to restore anything. That's the same as trying to dirty flash.

You must wipe or you'll have issues.
If there's a fastboot or hybrid rom for your device then you can do it without TWRP. If not, then no.
Once i downgraded to xiaomi.eu v13 from xiaomi.eu v14 can i flash stock official global rom v13.0.8 without trigerring the anti roll back? Thank you.

You could have probably flashed it directly from eu 14 without even bothering to downgrade first. I never had a problem going back to stock on my older Xiaomi devices, but I haven't had to in a while. There have been a few threads asking about how to return to stock recently. You should try the search function and read some of those.

hello can you read my post and see if its normal? thanks
 
Hello I flashed to xiaomi.eu MIUI 13 stable rom from china stable rom with data wipe today and everything is working smoothly as far as i see but my phone model number changed to 2201116sg from 2201116sc and cpu name is also in chinese. Is this normal? Glow charging animation also doesn't work and showing blurry big lightning pic. It's my first time flashing this rom so if I'm missing something please let me know... Thank you.
Probably just a bug and a missed translation. If the phone is working fine otherwise, then you're fine.

Ok. Thank you very much!
 
Bluetooth keyboard not works.
In MIUI 12.5 perfect but now only print numbers.
I've tested in my xiaomi Redmi Note 9 and in my PC and works fine.
But this morning, after installing MIUI 13, the bluetooth keyboard is kaput.
Thanks in advance if any idea.
Having the exact same issue. Anyone knows how to fix this?
 
Hello,
I would like confirmation to be sure and not mess up. POCO F3 I currently have the Xiaomi.eu 13.0.9 Stable and via OTA it offers me to upgrade to 14.0.5.0 Stable, can I do it without losing my personal data, app settings and whatnot?
 
I have a redmi note 11 (spesn) phone that I have flashed from stock to this stable rom and I'm a bit confused because my system files take 18GB after flashing even though the ROM is way smaller. Is it normal with these roms??

My whole phone has 64GB so using 20 for the OS sounds a bit too much

Check if memory extension is turned on. Turning that off will free a few GB, and if you haven't deleted the file you used to flash it (if you used TWRP to do it) then do that too. I'm pretty sure you have a micro SD slot on that phone for storage expansion as well.

Thanks, I have already turned off the memory extension and I didn't have the the rom file (I did a fastboot install). So is this size normal ?? What's taking so much space for the system. The ROM itself is around 4GB only

The rom is compressed when you download the zip.
I'm guessing you didn't look at any unboxing videos showing how much the factory MIUI used out of the box.

to be honest I m kind of shocked by my new phone, my old one was a xiaomi 4x (with xiaomi.eu rom installed also) so I'm kind of perplexed with all the new (mostly unwanted) features. I thought that the eu rom with less bloatware would take much less space, but if this is the expected behaviour, I would say my next step would be to uninstall system apps one by one. The playstore, and some xiaomi ones come in mind :)

Only removing apps installed on the data partition will save you space. Using root access to remove system apps won't gain you anything because the system partition size is fixed, and you won't be able to use that space for anything else easily. There are other roms available for that device elsewhere if you wanted to try something other than MIUI such as PixelExperience, but it looks like the maintainer of the LineageOS branch for that device already moved onto something else, so 3rd party support for spens seems to be dying off pretty quickly, as it usually does for many of the value priced devices as people upgrade.

Ok I get you, so only by changing ROMs I can claim more space for data partition. Thanks your advice is valuable .

I like the xiaomi.eu roms because they are stable and I don't have to much worry about potential bugs, so I will stick to it for some time even with reduced size and I will keep an eye in XDA forums.

Can I ask another maybe stupid question about the A/B partitions? right now my eu rom resides on A partition, so probably B has stock inside. If I flash a new rom , if I get it correctly it will install in B partition. So the question is , if I install a smaller sized ROM and then go back to xiaomi.eu rom will I get more space as the partition size will change for the B partition, are I just havent got the A/B concept correct??

Thanks again fro your help

I'm not 100% but I don't believe that device actually uses Treble (A/B) properly. I think you can install Treble Checker from Google Play to check that. By default MIUI will keep updating on the currently selected slot, so usually A. Switching slots will probably just result in bootloops as the \data partition doesn't change and the data stored there won't apply to the rom installed in the other slot. So it's best to pretend the other slot doesn't exist.

So I got a lemon you mean?? well that's part of me being overwhelmed. Like I told you I had a Redmi 4X for 5 years now no problems and it was a budget model, and this one is full of issues and things and everything is a bit crooked :)

Thanks though you gave answers to a lot of the questions I had.

When I get bold enough I will try to flash some other rom that is smaller.

Well it's more that you bought a device with too little internal storage. If it does support A/B that'd be a big reason why you have so little free space left on the device out of the box/even with a clean flash. Generally I'd recommend 128GB as a minimum these days due to the system taking up twice as much space as it really needs to, and usually 256GB on devices that don't have a SDXC slot for expandability like my Poco F3.
My previous phone, a Redmi Note 5 Pro didn't use A/B partitioning for updates and had 64GB of internal storage, but even then I had a 128GB sd card in the second sim slot. My wifes was the same phone but the 32GB model along with the same SD card and she wore out her internal storage.

Here's a link to Treble Check on the playstore so you can know for sure whether that device uses A/B or not.

Google implemented it to help with OEM rom upgrades to help folks that had a bad flash return to a working system, and to make updates more seemless with background installs. Though for us running third party roms, it basically just ends up stealing space from us, since most non-OEM roms don't take advantage of both partitions for seemless updates.

Just the super partition (that houses the logical partitions) is 8.5 GB, that's factory predefined and has nothing to do with this or any other ROM, and that's just the space for the system itself in a non-optimized state. Stock ROMs are pre-optimized since they were built from sources. Our ROM is modified and thus cannot be pre-optimized, so the optimization happens on first boot and the optimized code is saved on user data partition. Moreover we have some apps that are not included in stock ROMs, like all of the Super wallpapers. So yes, it will take more usable space than a stock ROM.
If you don't like that, use a stock ROM or a non-MIUI custom ROM that was built from sources and pre-optimized.
