Flashing Xiaomi Mi8 with TWRP Custom Recovery

This tutorial is intended for those who wants to install multilingual or any other Custom ROM .zip archive for the first time. If you already have custom ROM installed and want to update it to the newest version, then it’s not required to do all wipes and data format, just wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache, then just follow the tutorial after the step 5. If you’ve installing ROM from other developer, then it’s required to wipe “system” partition and format data.

  1. Boot into TWRP Custom Recovery.
  2. Go to “Wipe” menu > “Advanced Wipe” and select System, Dalvik/ART Cache, Cache, Data, Internal Storage partitions > Swipe to confirm wipe. Go back to main menu. Don’t do “wipe persist”!
  3. Go to “Wipe” > “Format Data” > “Yes”; Pay attention that after this step all files from phone internal memory are going to be deleted, please make sure you’ve make all required backups.
  4. Reboot TWRP by going to “Reboot” > “Recovery”.
  5. Connect your device to PC, go to “Mount” partition and copy required ROM archive to phone internal memory.
  6. Now go open “Install” menu, select ROM archive (you can include mods, gapps and other tweaks here as well and they’re going to be installed in the order, simply press “Add more zips”).
  7. Swipe to confirm flashing and wait until installation is fully completed.
  8. If you get a lot of folders with different names, then reboot into recovery, go to “Wipe” > “Internal storage” > “Recovery” > “Reboot into recovery”.
  9. Now we can finally boot into the system. Go to “Reboot” and select “System”.
  10. First startup may take quite a lot of time.

After the first startup you can install Magisk app to enable root on your device and then use Google Pay or other similar apps.

How to flash Xiaomi Mi8 in fastboot mode

  1. Download and install adb/fastboot drivers.
  2. Extract archive with adb tools on “C:\” drive.
  3. Download official MIUI ROM for MiFlash / Fastboot and extract downloaded archive to the same folder with adb files. Make sure you’ve unpacked the downloaded archive twice, so that you’ll get “images” folder in the folder with adb files.
  4. Boot your device in fastboot mode and connect to PC via USB cable.
  5. Start “flash_all.bat”, wait until your device reboot and then remove USB cable. If you want to flash ROM and lock the bootloader, then use “flash_all_lock.bat” file.
    • If “flash_all.bat” file doesn’t work and terminal window is closed immediately, read the following information:
    • Press “Win+R” and type “cmd” in the opened windows, press “Enter”.
    • Use “cd” command to open folder with adb/fastboot files.
    • Drag and drop .bat file to terminal window and press “Enter”, now it should work fine.

Please pay attention! If you’ll use “flash_all_lock.bat” while installing Global ROM on Chinese device, you’ll get a bricked device.

  7. After installation is completed you should see “Status – Flash Done”, and “Result – Success”.
  8. Phone will automatically reboots.

  1. Download and install MagiskManager-v5.8.3.apk
  2. In the main menu select “Install” > “Install Magisk-v16.0.zip” > “Install”.
