Redmi 6 Pro - TWRP+ADB drivers, and OTA Update

[Guerrero]

So the subject is the question.
I've installed 8.8.9 prevoius week, and today the 8.8.16 came avaliable on ROM download page.
Can I wait for OTA update? Or should I update manually?

Thanks for any help.

If it helps someone - here I uploaded ADB drivers (install it first) and TWRP ver.3.2.2-0 for Redmi 6 Pro:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1o40GNO81tFBOSLKz06dFtbqR1z7TOMVo
Make sure USB debugging is enabled in developer options. Unpack TWRP and copy it to the ADB folder.
Reboot phone in fastboot mode. Then just start Flash-Redmi 6 Pro TWRP.bat file, everything will install automatically.
Or you can install with ADB by command fastboot flash recovery.img

Then you just download EU ROM zip in device memory or USB storage and flash it via TWRP (recovery mode), in menu it's Install.

TWRP wants a password.
After passing the password screen, the storage looks like 0 mb in TWRP.

You can format data to fix. But you can loss all data on your phone. So u need backup your data first.

 

[tenekemetin2]

I formatted data. I did the Miui quick setup. I installed Twrp and ask password again. @Dinhtuanhai87

I've checked 8.8.9 and 8.8.16 - all the same camera is crashing if you try to switch to portrait mode. So it's the common problem.

 

[Dinhtuanhai87]

When TWRP asks after first start if you want to leave system only for reading or allow modifications, you should allow (swipe right on the bottom of the screen) And then try to boot in Recovery first. If It's TWRP, everything OK.

@Guerrero
Could you downgrade 8.8.16 to 8.8.9 or other version?

I didn't try. But due to active antiroll-back system, I think it's impossible without additional analysis.

Hi everyone, i'm on MIUI 9.6.17.0 China Stable on my Redmi 6 Pro.
I'd like to install the latest xiaomi.eu ROM but I read from a different thread ( https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/new-xiaomi-redmi-6-pro-rom-update.45054/page-3 ) that someone got his phone bricked apparently due to the anti-rollback feature that is active in my version of ROM.

In this thread I read also that It is actually possible to upgrade to the last xiaomi.eu via TWRP, which make sense cause I suppose that the firmware of the xiaomi.eu (MIUI 10) should be newer with respect to the MIUI 9.6.17.0 China Stable (MIUI 9).
But actually it seems that there will be problems on upgrading.

Does someone of you know if upgrading in my situation will brick the device and if the firmware of xiaomi.eu ROM (MIUI 10) is actually older with respect to the MIUI 9.6.17.0 China Stable (MIUI 9)?

I actually do not know if proceeding with the procedure or not, cause the different things that each thread says.


Thank you in advance

REDMI 6A only:
it is impossible to install EU XIAOMI MUI 10 fom ZIP file in RECOVERY (TWRP 3.2.x) mode at present:
error 11 appeared, instllation of the MUI 10 8.8.X is FAILED for REDMI 6A.
Redmi 6A users can install MUI 10 ROM Chinese version or Chinese global vesrion 8.8.21 only,
not the files of EU XIAOMI site by the present date.

Reply to user dariolc18 : Check errors
Before the instllation of the new ROM in recovery mode or in fastboot mode,
the user requires to get the permission to unlock bootloader from xiaomi via Miflash_ unlock program (for all windows).
The process of the unblocking bootloader of XIAOMI REDMI is widely described in internet.
The time to get the XIAOMI premission takes
from 72 till 360 hours after the request of user via Miflash_ unlock program . It can not be done immediately.
After bootloder of your REDMI device is unlocked by XIAOMI, go to the installation of MUI the new .

METHOD 1 : in RECOVERY mode
1. Download the following files:-
- TWRP 3.2.X for the use of RECOVERY mode of your phone model in ZIP format
- MUI 10 ROM Chinese/global version 8.8.x or may be newer.
You can find ZIP file for your device, for example here: https://www.tricksfolks.com/download-miui-10-rom/
2. Install TWRP for the use of RECOVERY mode in your REDMI device .
3. Copy MUI 10 ROM ZIP file to your SD CARD - to root folder "/" ; do not unzip.
4. Reboot in RECOVERY MODE , using pushed VOLUME-UP+POWER simultaneously
5. Go to MOUNT section of RECOVERY. Mount SD card in RECOVERY mode. It will allow to see the content of SD CARD
6. Go to ADDITION section -> FILE Manager.
Find External SD card folder or SD card in storage folder. Locate / or check MUI ROM (ZIP file) is in root folder "/" of SD card.
7. go to CLEAN section.
DELETE / format
- DAVLINK
- SYSTEM
- CACHE
- DATA - this command will delete all settings, saved numbres, contacts, photo, video, previously installed programmes.

7. Click on installed MUI 10 ZIP file in yur SD CARD. The installation will be commenced.
8. If no error in result of the installation, REBOOT the device to SYSTEM mode.
If the installation failed or the installation is completed with any error, SWITCH OFF the phone.
than you need
- to find the other MUI for your device and
- to repeat all above steps.
in order to "unbrick" your devices.

METHOD 2 : in FASTBOOT mode.
9. The other solution to "unbrick" XIAOMI is
- to download MUI 9.6.X version for installation in FASTBOOT mode; such files are not in ZIP, but in TGZ / or TAR format.
- to download MI flash program for windows,
10.
The installation via MI flash has to be performd in FASTBOOT mode.
To get FATBOOT mode, push buttons POWER+VOLUME-DOWN simultaneously and wait for the screen "fastboot".
11. You need to install MUI 9.6.X version for your REDMI using MI flash program, avalable for all OS Windows.10.
For the installation in fastboot mode, MUI ROM 9.6.x file has to be unzipped to a separte directory , for example, c:\rom_9.6
!.
The installation has to be with option "CLEAN ALL", not "block after the installation" in Mi Flash program options.
If you installed ROM with "block after the installation" option erroniously,
use Miflash_ unlock program to unblock bootloader again. It will take 5 minutes.

The description of the Redmi flashing via MI flash program is widely availabale in internet.
It can take 30-40 minutes to learn "how to flash" via MI flash windows program for the fresh student.
Search Mi flash version after July 25, 2018.

Regards.

You did not state your XIAOMI device.
I can not advise to make the update from MUI 9.6 to MUI 10 8.8.16 - as the MUI 10 ROM files have errors and do not contain any new usefull software for REDMI 6/6a at least. All new commers have a risk to make the brick from the XIAOMi phone following the local guides to update to MUI 10 in worst case, or to get useless additional XIAOMI programs (bloatware) without any improvement of the system (so called MUI over Android 8.1) in the best outcome at present, by this date.

Redmi 6 pro is the device.
