How to UNLOCK Xiaomi Mi 11 & Install Custom TWRP & Xiaomi.eu MIUI 12.6

[@repentence]

Very, very, very good guide. I will only add two things. After booting to twrp, you have to input your password to allow twrp access to wipe the phone. Second is that after wiping, I had to reboot the phone to twrp again in order to access the folders to copy over the custom rom.

[@VelianSpeaksTech]

Tnx for the additions, let me pin that!

[@hexacetat]

What do you mean with enter password? Where do I have to enter a password?

[@repentence]

@@hexacetat if your device was locked with a pattern, you will need to input your pattern when you boot to twrp

Very amazing video, I'm PRC citizen living in Germany, I have been confused by my Mainland China MIUI for several months. Thanks for the TWRP and EU ROM guide, cheers!

Hello Iwan, happy to help!

[@rafamartineiz]

I even subscribed to your channel as a way to say thank you for such a good tutorial. You gave absolutely everything we need to install TWRP and the Xiaomi EU ROM with no margin for error. Once again, thanks for your job

[@VelianSpeaksTech]

Thank you Rafael, I ma glad this video helped. Check the OneOS custom rom, it's very good.

[@rafamartineiz]

@@VelianSpeaksTech I'm about to get a mi 11 pro and do all the steps to unlock and flash MIUI EU ROM. I saw a few comments regarding additional steps during TWRP install and ROM Flash. Is there any update to your tutorial? Or maybe notes added to specific parts of your video where these additional steps would apply? Thank you once again!

[@marcogames9881]

Literally only useful guide i could find. U saved me man

best guide for the mi 11 rom installation, thanks! Hopefully there will be an official TWRP soon as well.

Thanks Jorge!

THANK YOU !!!!!! damn I never find the ROM file on /Storage xD but you say /Data/Media its right folder , thxxx you so much ;)

[@abena8952]

First I would like to thank for helping me UNLOCK my device after nearly 5 days lol Secondly iv been following every step and @ 4:55 I get lost I'm not a computer person and literally don't know what link to download and I'm trying to follow you closely but when you open the window you clicked so fast and lost me lol I'm so sorry but I had my last computer class in the late 90s so im safe to say I'm computer illiterate lol Again thank for replying toy earlier text keep up the great work thx

[@VelianSpeaksTech]

Tnx! On 4:55 I go to program files folder then minimal adb folder where I have fastboot.exe Is this where you are stuck?

[@abena8952]

I don't know how to navigate It does how ever show minimal ADB and fastboot> But that is it the window doesn't fill up with words

[@abena8952]

ADB EXE also Fastboot EXE Does not show

[@VelianSpeaksTech]

@@abena8952 androiddatahost.com/uq6us Download latest minimal adb and fastboot. Install it to program files x86\minimal adb Then open start windows menu and on run type CMD then hit enter Then type cd \program files x86 Then you should see the path changing to c:\program files x86 Then type cd minimal adb Then hit enter The you should be in the minimal adb folder

[@VelianSpeaksTech]

There is even an easier tip. Just use windows explorer to navigate to the minimal adb folder. Then press Shift + right click mouse button anywhere in the folder window. Select the “Open command window here” option from the context menu.

[@CrazySlayerPT]

Thanks, the video helped me a lot! cheers

[@loulax3561]

Hey thanks for this video! I got just a problem with twrp menu because my doesn't respond i can select no options..

[@juzzmee]

Hi, thanks for the guide. As a newbie, can I assume that so long as I follow your steps in the video, the flashing should be a breeze? Another thing, before starting, do I need to unlock developer option?

[@VelianSpeaksTech]

I hope so, bear in mind that always unexpected things can happen. This is the Beaty of it :) Yes.

[@whitegoodman7465]

Is this the same exact process with the stable version? thanks! also which one would you recommend, stable vs beta?

[@TheGeekOussama]

Thanks buddy , is this rom have native call recorder feature ??

[@MurangShaBu_MahalNaBiGas]

I have mi 11i is this gonna work?

[@pss53]

So once flashed will it continue to get OTA updates or would you need to flash each time ? Also would you lock the bootloader if happy and not planning anything further ? Cheers.

[@JackVincent]

Everytime there is an update you will need to boot TWRP again with the command and flash it. You can inject TWRP if you want. Bootloader can not be locked when using custom roms like xiaomi.eu

Hi, thanks for the guide very helpful, I had CN Mi11 that I flashed stock EU via Fast Boot but looked into xiaomi.eu which seem to be well supported and with safetynet passing already applied , I had to restart into TWRP after format data for storage to show on computer, Just wanted to ask can I install twrp into the phone ? and just flash future OTA updates without using the computer ? I know it wont be automated but I think you can download future ota zip and just boot into twrp and install rom ... Thanks

Yes, it will persist. You can install twrp with fastboot, check the commands in Google or also inject within twrp.

You can, with Xiaomi.eu, but right now TWRP decryption doesn't work so it means TWRP cant read your data abd you need to install rom updates via PC or USB otg.

Hello friend, a month ago i migrated my mi 11 global to xiaomi.eu stable by fastboot because at the time there was no twrp. However, a system update arrived and I heard that there will be no more fastboot, everything will be by recovery. My question is: is there a problem with me installing twrp since everything was done before by fastboot? And since I'm doing a system update from xiaomi.eu itself, do I need some format data? Or just update and go?

[@VelianSpeaksTech]

No, just download latest eu rom, and you can flash it via twrp.
