Even after all this, it may be that the 10 roms will only work on base 13. If you want to insist on base 18 or other newer firmware, you can try to install it twice, or install oreo (edl), and then update via OTA to the last pie or a10

4 - #Installation Advanced:
- 1 (Optional) Backup your apps with SwiftBackup or TitaniumBackup.
Note: Remember to remove your external sdcard when using miflash so that it is not deleted.
If you are in miui, gsi or any custom vendor, you have to flash firmware 10.0.13.0. Install the firmware with the device in edl mode. Command: fastboot oem edl
In twrp go make erase cache / data / system, format data> yes (backup if you want before), flash 10.0.13 in edl.
After installing edl you can install the latest firmware by fastboot.
Edl not flash persist. So you have to flash persist, install persist.img according to your installed firmware:
fastboot flash persist persist.img
Install persist.img to avoid bugs like missing IMEI and other strange bugs.
By doing this you can skip to step 3.
-2 - When installing persist.img you don't need to install firmware by miflash to test a new custom vendor custom rom, but this way of installation is not the cleanest installation, so to speak.
Note: Remembering that the recommended firmware is version 10.0.13.0 or higher.
Then install only persist.img from your current firmware and then install your Custom ROM.
You can restore your backup of your persist.img by twrp if you have backed it up. or install from cmd: fastboot flash persist persist.img Or device terminal:
flash persist enter this command in terminal twrp : dd if=/sdcard/persist.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p49
By doing this you can skip to step 3.
-Unlocked Bootloader:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot reboot

5 - #DIRTY FLASH
First, what is a dirty flash? It is installing one ROM on top of the other without losing data. It may work and it may not work depending on your source ROM for the destination ROM. Do backup with titanium backup or swiftbackup for security reasons.
Okay, but how do I do it? Follow the instructions below:
Method 1: From different ROMs (ROM X to ROM Y):
Boot to TWRP (Power and vol+; or Advanced Restart > Recovery)
Backup Data partition (optional)
Wipe the system and dalvik/art cache partition
Install the 'new' ROM and then Install TWRP ZIP(optional)
Change the slot. If on slot A , change to B. If on slot B, change to A. Then reboot to recovery.
Install ForcedEncryptionDisabler.zip, GApps that you've used to installed, and Magisk.
Wipe dalvik and reboot.
Method 2: From the same ROM:
Boot to TWRP (Power and vol+; or Advanced Restart > Recovery)
Backup Data partition (optional)
Install the 'update' ROM and then Install TWRP ZIP(optional)
Change the slot. If on slot A , change to B. If on slot B, change to A. Then reboot to recovery.
Install ForcedEncryptionDisabler.zip, GApps that you've used to installed, and Magisk.
Wipe dalvik and reboot.
Method 3: Restoring data partition:
The same process as installing ROMs from the start, but after you've wipe all partition (assuming you have started from fresh), restore the data partition you've made before then proceed to installing ROMs.
