Flashing hefty ROM of over 2.5Gb whenever there is an update doesn't make xiaomi.eu ROM to be attractive

Good evening guys. Was able to get my device-RN8G unlocked. Guys kindly assist, I needed to have a nandroid copy of MIUI 12, I'm stuck on MIUI 11 v11.0.11. I downloaded this firmware fw_ginkgo_miui_GINKGOGlobal_V12.0.1.0.QCOMIXM_f5da3c2665_10.0 size 69MB or so and this rom miui_GINKGOGlobal_V12.0.2.0.QCOMIXM_b58f9663d7_10.0 kindly direct me on what next to do to have MIUI 12 nandroid copy( or wait till OTA drops) before I install twrp and a custom rom. Thanks.

genius43:


Firmware is different from ROM

Thykingdomcom:


Yea I know. I contemplated going the route of flashing fastboot rom but the rather small file size got me we worried if I had the correct firmware, cos I saw that of MIUI 11 v11.0.9 of 3.6GB.

Would appreciate if you could help with pointers on how to get a backup copy of MIUI 12 before proceeding with a custom recovery and rom. Thanks.

My redmi 9 keeps rebooting it self saying find my device closes unexpectedly,xiomi Xiaomi Nigeria any help? Can't do anything with the device and it's 15days old today

genius43:


Fastboot ROM is usually larger depending on phone.

RN8 Fastboot Should be around 3.6GB flagships are almost double this size.

MIUI 12.0.2.0 fastboot ROM isn't out yet only 12.0.1

If you are worried about file sizes and data to be expended tweaking and installing of ROMS isn't for you. Because most custom Recovery even if you stick with stock MIUI will require you downloading the full recovery ROM anytime there is an update.

Thykingdomcom:


You got me wrong about the worrying, perhaps I didn't explain well enough. The initial small size made me believe I got the wrong file when I saw the 3.6GB fastboot rom of MIUI 11. Data for download isn't an issue. I needed guidance on how to go about the issue raised. Thanks though for the info @bolded, I wasn't too keen about 12.0.1 due to the complaints raised on that rom version.

Officialxenon:
The problem now is that I after imputing my password,the phone doesn't stay 5sec before I went off Again I can't get to settings to change that, really damn stressed here and factory resetting is not helping did that 2times now still same thing
After setting up the device it goes back again

GrandMufti:


You need root privileges to backup app data. And for that, you need custom recovery.

Except you mean system image/vendor backup in twrp itself.

And what do you mean by nandroid copy of miui 12?

Thykingdomcom:


Thanks GrandMufti. I need boot, system and data copy of a stable MIUI 12 version, just in case I decide to go back to MIUI. I don't want to get to MIUI 11, whenever I decide I have had enough of custom rom. I'm presently on MIUI 11 v11.0.9. Thanks.

GrandMufti:


What do you mean by data copy of miui 12?

1. flash miui 12 fastboot rom. Check telegram for link

2. Install custom recovery. Check your device's telegram group or google.

3. backup system image/vendor in twrp.

4. Flash magisk to root

5. Install migrate app to backup app data. Check migrate group or YouTube.

*Caveat*

Some apps won't install except from playstore. Only backup user apps and not system apps.

Whenever you decide to return to miui from custom ROM, backup your app data with migrate app and then flash miui 12 recovery rom OR flash fastboot rom to wipe the phone and start afresh
