2. Download the TWRP file for Mi11/Pro/Ultra.
- TWRP for MI11 venus: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=14943124697586336380
- TWRP for MI11Pro/Ultra mars/star: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=14943124697586336381
3. Rename the downloaded file to twrp.img, copy the TWRP file to the Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder in drive C.
4. Download the Xiaomi.EU rom for your phone (find it yourself on the web). After downloading, copy the rom to the phone (should be in the root directory for easy finding later).
5. Put the phone into Fastboot mode (Power key + volume down key).
Run the file: "C:\Minimal ADB and Fastboot\cmd-here.exe"
Type the command: fastboot boot twrp.img
Wait for the installation, the phone will automatically run into TWRP
6. On TWRP, Change the language of TWRP to English, by clicking the right button on TWRP and select English.. then OK.
7. Enter the device (phone) password and press Enter for TWRP to have access to the file.
8. Install TWRP recovery to phone by: Select "Advanced" and select "Onekey inject TWRP". (wait for the device to install). Next time you want to enter TWRP, just press the power key + volume up (volume up).
9. Install the rom by on TWRP, select Install -> find the rom file mentioned in section 4.
10. After the installation is complete, wait for the device to restart (it takes about 5 minutes).
Update: TWRP currently does not support the "update-package" command. So after updating you still have to manually select the downloaded zip file to install. So having TWRP saves the need for a computer, but it's not available for OTA yet
(The device will not lose data if you are using XiaomiEU rom with the same version (stable -> stable, dev->dev))

You have to re-select the language each time you run it again

Ok, twrp does not install the rom 12.5.7.0, after selecting the zip file it seems to start but a moment later you restart the twrp!

Re-download 12.5.7 rom and remember to unlock the zip file before copying to your phone

Ok thanks, I figured this was the problem

 

[1647838042]

Another question although it may seem trivial, should I tick the zip checkbox in addition to ticking reboot system?

I read here that you install EU Stable Beta 12.5.7 (not weekly) for Mi 11 (venus)
I only find the fastboot-version. Where can the rom ZIP- version be found?

Maybe I'm wrong but I think there is only fastboot version and you can install it from twrp in zip format, or from unzipped CMD from PC

Unfortunately fastboot-version cannot be installed in TWRP.
So: i was hoping to find a ROM zip of 12.5.7 RKBCNXM

I'm also wasting time with my Venus, yesterday I installed the twrp, today I would have done the installation of 12.5.7.0

 

[1647838042]

I just have to use CMD and fastboot again for the 12.5.7 flash!

What would be the best solution to backup the phone ? I want to upgrade with TWRP but , just in case , can I make an image copy of my phone before upgrade ?
Many thanks for your help

1. Copy rom to folder C:\Minimal ADB and Fastboot\
2. Use the command: adb push rom.zip /sdcard
