As everyone already knew, MIUI 8 is not only available for China Developer ROM, it's not yet available for Global. I was on Global MIUI 7 Developer, I was very curious about MIUI 8. So, I tried to flash it through TWRP. Before I flash, I backed up all partitions on TWRP.
Fast forward 20 minutes, MIUI 8 flashed properly, but I want to go back to my original Global Developer MIUI 7. So, I tried to restore every partition through TWRP with the backup I did. Every partition restored successfully, except "Firmware". It gives error "extractTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255"
In recovery log, it shows that "tar_extract_file(): failed to restore SELinux context ubject_r:vfat:s0 to file" for a lot of files.
It booted up normally, but it failed to detect my SIM card. Wifi working, just no SIM. Baseband version unknown, can't enter Phone Status, SIM cards & mobile networks greyed out. Phone tells that Can't get valid Device ID (Invalid Device ID: null)
Anyone did experienced this? Any solution?
Use twrp to restore again , this time exclude the firmware partition (restore all other partition except firmware). After the restoration complete , use MiFlashTool to flash back the Miui 7 stable

There is a mount option in twrp. Tick firmware and other relevant things there.
Alternatively restore everything except partition. Then flash the aosp rom again without any wipes. Boot it up. You shouldn't lose any data at all.

Hi, which cm13 you used? Some of them will relock bootloader when you flashed it. So, check it via fastboot, type "fastboot oem device-info". You might need to re-unlock.

Thanks for answers.
It was cm13 official...and probably it locked my bootloader again - thanks for tip, then i've install aosp again and next my backup and voila it works
So, I've been trying to flash CyanogenMod 12.1, since I'm still stuck on EMUI 3.1, because I can't flash OTA updates (I've tried everything, dload method, and yes I have unrooted and used the stock recovery)
Every time I try to flash a ROM via TWRP it turns off for a second and then boots back to TWRP starting screen. Also, when I boot my phone the boot animation's Honor H is red for some reason.
Thanks in advance!

Are you sure you have the right boot.img and recovery.img?
Usually that symptoms are due to messed partitions.
Did you flash current img files or did you got them from a different rom version?

Well, actually I once bricked my phone and had to restore through a TWRP backup, that only had the System and Boot partitions and it was the B130 version when I had B140, but it worked. So, do I need to completely flash everything or can I just pick up some files from somewhere?

You can use B130 as it is also Lollipop. But all the img from the same rom. You can update to B350 manually after, but first you need a stable rom working.
Let us know man if you fixed your phone. So if not, we can give firther recommendations.

Right, so i accidentally deleted my internal storage while updating to a new custom rom (format and install). I do not have any backups, unfortunately either. My phone is rooted and had bootloader unlocked prior to this issue.
What can i do to fix this?
-- Edit, i should have explained in more detail - This issue has made is so that i cant Read or Write to internal storage from MIUI file explorer. Unfortunately, reinstall stock os zip does not seem to have helped...

Should i download china or global?
You will not be able to recover your deleted data. End of story.
Yeah what's the problem? As you are in TWRP you can connect the phone to computer via USB. Transfer firmware, ROM and gapps and flash.
Data on internal will be gone. No possibility to recover. That's why there are warnings all over the place while wipe and format data ?

You have to fix your brick Xiaomi first before you can try to recover your data because the recovery tool cannot scan a bricked phone. Suggest you flash a stock ROM download from MIUI official website.
After you can reboot into the normal Android system, see this page to recover your deleted data from Xiaomi Redmi Note4.

Did you flash any boot.img when installing twrp? Or after you installed twrp?
If you did that is more than likely the problem. Flash original stock boot.img from the same security patch date as your firmware and flash it in twrp and then flash twrp installer afterwards
It seems your boot.img corrupted. If you format data and wipe dalvik cache data and flash stock rom you will succeed i think

I was stupid and thought I did it without a boot image untill I checked all of my commands again.
I used fastboot flash boot twrp-3.3.1-15-laurel_sprout-mauronofrio.img .
My phone was on V10.3.9.0 EUropean. But that image file is for twrp or is it also a boot.img? Not sure if this caused the problem? I'm very new to all of this so how can I find a stock boot.img of that version and how do I flash it again? I feel kinda lost right now.
Anyone can help me out with this?

This phone has the recovery inside the boot partition, this is why you need to flash the boot partition, you do not need to flash it again normally, you just flash it to the other slot, boot twrp, go back on the original slot, flash twrp using the .zip file, idk where you should get the boot.img file, but lok online for it, maybe you will find it.

You installed it uncorrectly, you need to switch slot (because this device have an A/B partition type), flash twrp, boot it, switch to the og slot, flash twrp using the .zip file (so it modify your current boot.img), and done.
This phone will be my first A/B phone, i cant wait to receive it.
But what you didnt is still correct, just not perfect.

So twrp has to be installed on both partitions?
I'm not sure if really twrp installed on only one partition could cause Wifi problems.
I would assume that my .img for twrp was faulty.

Hi.
Do it like this, install TWRP and then the operating system of your choice. There is also the question of how you could install the ROM without TWRP.
Hardbrick with TWRP, never, I don't think so.
I have now easily shot my device 20 times and put it on again and again, definitely shot 100 devices over 10,000 times over the years and never suffered a hard brick.
You can do it, otherwise the heroes will help you here. :highfive:

Hi,
this happens because your system partition is "broken".
If you go to "Wipe" and select "Format Data" there it will delete all partitions and the system of your device.
Then you start again in the TWRP and connect the device via USB to a PC or via OTG to a stick on which you have the operating system of your choice and drag it to your device.
Then select the ZIP / OS in the TWRP under "Install" and have it installed. It also creates the new partitions that he could not find with you.
I wish you success:fingers-crossed:

Don't think format data wipes the system partition does it?
Unless Xiaomi have really changed things, data should be completely separate. Format data should wipe the internal storage only which includes cache partition.
Twrp can wipe system, but shouldn't do unless specifically chosen to do so via several steps, not a single button press.

no data format dont touch system
Yes, of course not the whole system partition, sorry.
From German into English is sometimes not that easy.?
In this case, TWRP will of course only delete the data as it stands there.
Otherwise everyone will find a step by step guide for almost every device a thousand times, thanks to you. So it should be also possible for everyone here.

I also want to go back to stable ROM
Its very simple to bypass the Anti rollback on miflash, just download the fastboot version of the ROM you want to install, unzip it and you'll have to edit this file (flash_all.bat), with for instance note++. And you remove 5 or 6 lines that does not begin by FASTBOOT. You can't miss it.
You can close and save.
Afterwards, just flash that same file that you just edited, and no more anti rollback error!
A second tip that I have when you just can't install custom firmwares on the mi 10, just flash stock firmware with miflash, reboot and flash TWRP. Transfer your custom firmware to your phone, flash it and ONLY format data afterwards! It was the only way to get a custom firmware on my mi10. It's my 5th xiaomi device and never experienced something like this...tried all TWRP available for the mi 10, but only by doing this way, I was able to succesfully install xiaomi.eu.
Good luck!
