can not flash - snapshotted state error

[Aung Kyaw Minn]

When I tried to flash miui any rom to my redmi note10, it keep showing error (flashing of metadata is not allowed in snapshotted state).
How can I fix that? Do I need to change the state? How? Please help.
And my phone has no os installed, so I also tried to install recovery rom, usb debugging is off I think, I can't add my zip file to twrp also. I am lost.

I may have a solution to this.

regarding my error with "snapshotted state" while flashing with MiFlash.. I found the solution.

first, I tried to flash with "clean all and lock", but it showed the same error - this was not the way.
I researched a little further and found that the metadata partition is in a snapshotted state, which has something to do with the virtual a/b mechanism.
anyway, you can fix the snapshotted state by either merge or cancel the state.
for that you need the *latest* (Android 11) platform-tools with the latest fastboot.exe, because older version do not support this command.

then: fastboot.exe snapshot-update cancel
the snapshot gets cancelled and you can flash fastboot images of ROMs with MiFlash again normally.

Thank you for your solution although changing snapshot state doesn't work somehow. But I am finally able to flash cusotm rom using ADB sideload. That saved my heart beat. I found that via your link. Thanks advance.
