First let's say the conclusion: brush is not recommended.

At present, there are too few cleaning packages for Xiaomi 11. There are only four on xda: Lineage OS, DerpFest R, ShapeShift OS and Evolution. The system version is still on Android 11. It can be counted with one slap. At this stage, there is no way to make you feel better.

Take a look at the MI11X next door, that is, the domestic Redmi K40. There are three pages of content related to the brush bag, and many A12 bags.

Sure enough, Xiaomi is orthodox in Redmi.

Secondly, because these classes are all born by the same father, AOSP (It seems to be nonsense) Although it is not simple, it is not completely Chinese.

In addition, native ROMs of all systems will add their own enhanced settings to the system. Although most of these functions are very practical, they are incompatible with the design style of the whole system. I don't like it very much.

 Even the model logo of "Pixel 2" is used

Finally, the class native is excellent in terms of fluency and visual experience, and there are really too few functions. If you are used to MIUI, class primitives are not easy to use at all.

It's just that my favorite PixelExperience has not yet adapted to Xiaomi 11. Damn it! I can't help it. I can only try a recently updated system.


The phone needs to be unlocked. Please refer to the " Xiaomi 11 Brush Record ". The following contents all default that your phone has been unlocked, drivers have been installed on the computer, and USB debugging has been turned on.

Because the original class of Xiaomi 11 has not yet been adapted to Android 12, even if Recovery and the system are brushed in, it will be stuck in the boot interface. What's more, no one in the xda community makes the bottom package of Android 11. Therefore, if you are an internal test user of MIUI Android 12, you need to downgrade the line brush back to Android 11. It's hard to resist.

Wire brush degradation

If your system is not Android 12, you can skip this section.

Briefly speaking, the line brush.

On the " General wire brush tutorial ", download the wire brush tool, and find the" The latest stable version of Xiaomi Mobile Phone 11 line brush Fastboot complete package click to download "Download the wire brushing package.

After downloading the wire brushing package, unzip it. You need to extract the folder.

Let's go over it.

  • Open USB debugging in mobile phone developer mode, connect the data cable to the computer, and input in adb tool adb devices

  • After successfully returning the mobile phone serial number, enter adb reboot bootloader Restart to fastboot mode
  • Open the MiFlash wire brush tool and check the bottom Delete all , click Load Device, choice Unzip the folder of wire brush package, and then click Brush machine Just do it

The following figure shows the prompt after finishing the line brush success , and the phone will restart automatically.

If you do not log out the Xiaomi account before the machine is flushed, you should also enter the password of the Xiaomi account. Quickly walk through boot boot, open USB debugging, and prepare to brush class native.

Download the brush package

You can go to xda by yourself Xiaomi 11 Search for the machine cleaning package. Here are some things I see:

Attached is the backup I saved to OneDrive, which should be faster:

The rec can only be controlled by the volume key and the power on key. I haven't seen it for years.

Another crucial thing: Adb tool

Brush Lineage Recovery

The following operations are performed in the adb tool I posted above.

List adb devices: adb devices

 D:\mikusa\ADB Tool>adb devices List of devices attached xxxxxxxx        recovery

Restart to bootloader: adb reboot bootloader

 D:\mikusa\ADB Tool>adb reboot bootloader

Brush Lineage Recovery: Fastboot flash boot_ab "path"

 D: Mikusa  ADB Tool>fastboot flash boot_ab "D:  mikusa  desktop  boot.img" Sending 'boot_ab' (196608 KB)                      OKAY [  4.566s] Writing 'boot_ab'                                   (bootloader) Partition boot_a flashed successfully (bootloader) Partition boot_b flashed successfully OKAY [  0.863s] Finished. Total time: 5.441s

The path can be directly dragged by referring to this figure; You can also right-click to copy rec and paste it into the console as a path.

Yes, I took this picture. This rec can't even take a screenshot, just like the rec in the era of lollipop.

Clear system data

The volume key moves up and down, and the power key confirms. Move to first Advanced , found Enable adb , confirm, and it will automatically return to the initial interface.

Then move to Factory recet , Select Format data/factory reset

Press the power key, a warning will pop up, confirm, and prompt "Wiping data..." at the lower left corner of the screen, which is the step of clearing data.

The machine can be cleaned after execution.

I don't want to complain. It shows that you are in the middle, but the R angle is not complete

Brush in ROM package

The data cable should still be connected to the computer, and the adb tool has not been turned off. The system has started to be refreshed. With adb sideload The mode should be called "adb side loading". This is the first time for me to use it.

Find in the rec interface Apply update , power key OK, find Apply from ADB , the power key determines.

Brush the machine. Very simple, just one command: Adb sideload "brush package path" , the path is still the method of dragging the file

 D:\mikusa\ADB Tool>adb sideload E:\DerpFest-11-Official-venus-20211106-2335.zip serving: 'E:\DerpFest-11-Official-venus-20211106-2335.zip'   (~47%)     adb: failed to read command: No error

The computer console will stop at 47%. Don't panic, just move the cell phone rec.

The same method is also used for importing magisk, Adb sideload "magic path" , but you will be prompted "Signature verification failed Install anyway?", and select "Yes". The magisk can wait until it successfully enters the system.

Exit after brushing Apply update Mode, return to the main interface of RCE, and find Factory recet , Select Format data/factory reset Clear the data again, or the system will not start. I don't know why, but just clear it up.

Then find Reboot System now The power button determines to restart the system. Generally, the startup animation will enter the system after one minute.

Alas, I'm really over the age of brushing the machine. More and more not keen on playing computer. For me, backing up, transferring data, downloading the system, and cleaning the computer were things that I had come at my fingertips, but now I feel extremely cumbersome. I also can't accept the beauty of quasi primitive incompleteness, nor am I willing to spend time on beautifying the system. I hope to simplify everything, I hope to use it out of the box

This is the continuous loss of "brush power". I probably won't brush the machine again.

(It won't be painted this year, and the flag can't be set too hard.)

follow-up

The next day, I brushed back MIUI. MIUI really smells good.
