I am looking for a working ROM for this device. I can't use recovery because my phone is stuck at formatting /data. I did a google search and I found that there are ROMs for the original viper (without I) but I couldn't find any for mine except the zips. But those has to be flashed in recovery which I can't access therefore I need to use SP Flash Tool.

So, today i bought my P780, there is preinstalled heweikeji CWM recovery v6.0.4.4, it's also prerooted, but i want to install TWRP recovery and every time when i try it via flash tool it say "pmt changed for the rom; it must be downloaded". I tried also instal twrp via mobile uncle tool, but there is still cwm recovery after reboot. Also it can't make backup, problem: "backing up boot image" and nothing happens long time after that, 10 minutes or more.
How to install custom recovery and how to find out version of firmware? I am not sure it's chinese or ROW? Which ROMs to flash?
Build number: VIBEUI_V2.0_1437_7.14.1_ST_P780
Baseband version: P780.V101, 2014/03/12 15:06
Thanks in advance!
I did it!
HowTo: Full backup with MTK Droid Tools, then in mtkdroidtool make scatter file and use them together with recovery.img (i downloaded ) with sp flash tool (SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1352.01), tried to flash with flash tools 3, but there was error on boot screen (tool DL image fail).
Now TWRP work flawlessy...
I have old P780 and I do not remember whether I was doing repartition to 3.5 Gb with tools on xda. But I am not able to flash twrp and stock rom I got error 8032 in SP flash tool 5. How can I flash twrp to restore original partitions? Or flash stock rom ?

Hi.
The original partitions are restored with SP Flash Tool.
Try with SP Flash Tool v. 3 and see what is going on.
Try to use one unmodified firmware first.
Good luck.
For whatever reason I can't budge the tool to flash the latest fastboot ROM on my Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite that I plan to sell since my new phone arrived today. A custom ROM from the last year is currently installed on the device.
I installed the latest Universal ADB drivers, installed the latest Mi Flash tool (2020.3.14.0), put the phone in fastboot mode, connected to PC via USB 2.0 port and tried to flash the latest fastboot stable ROM via the tool with "clean all" option and most of the time what happens when I hit the flash button, the fastboot logo on the phone disappears and in the left top corner a small white text "hit any button to restart" or something like that appears. Only once a progress bar appeared with $fastboot bla bla bla II echo missmatching image and device" and that was it... no progress, again the white text prompting me to hit any button to restart appeared on the screen.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong? cmonBruh

Hello.. I will try to help you.. And tell me if you fixed that..
Can you install a custom recovery? Twrp?
Id you can do that fallow my steps..
First download the fallowing twrp from here :
https://drive.google.com/file/d/14cRc4UG4hzL45cDhdFZ7odr5Kb8LSai0/view
It can support ota update and your phone will boot I used it to flash my mi 8 lite without pc. And works!
Download and flash that twrp using mi flash tool. I hope your bootloader is unlocked if you already have other twrp installed simply flash the twrp zip file. And update your recovery. If you don't have any twrp installed simply rename. Zip file into .img file and flash it with flash tool. If you can't flash it using flash tool try to install any other twrp and then install the zip and update the twrp
After you installed twrp go and download recovery Rom from here :
https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/platina/
Download the first rom called : V11.0.2.0.QDTMIXM (1.8GB zip file)
( Recovery

Download (Download to Mi Router)
Press download. Not download to mi router and don't forget.. Download the recovery zip file not the fast boot update!
After you downloaded boot in to twrp which I gave you above, wipe system / data / vendor / cache/dalvik and flash the zip file.
You can flash it with and without to wipe anything. But it is recommended to wipe. Pls go try and install it without to wipe anything, if it works ( for me works!) after flash done boot the phone and see if there is any problem. If u got any bugs or problems perform a clean flash wipe all and then flash!
Id you want root.. Fallow this :
You can root your phone with latest magisc manager using the same twrp. After you flash the boot.img with twrp press restart phone. If it won't restart go again to recovery and format only your data. And your will phone will boot again and you will get root acces. It's the only way to root android 10.
Please let me know if you fixed that problem.. And you flashed successfully the Rom..
DON'T FLASH THE ROM USING ANOTHER TWRP! ONLY THAT RECOVERY I GIVE SUPPORT OTA UPDATE AND CAN BYPASS THE XIAOMI Verification FOR THE STOCK ROM.. IF YOU USE ANY OTHER TWRP YOUR PHONE WILL BE STUCK IN Boot! Orange fox or any other twrp won't work!
I used this method and works like a charm
i have a problem while flashing Android 7.12 ROMs for HTC Desire 620g (stock 4.4.2). My problem started with recovery flashing issues. Fastboot mode for this particular model doesn't support recovery flashing. I've dig up other way of flashing recovery - via MTK Droid Tools and MTK SP Flash Tool. It worked like a charm.
Then I started with ROM flashing - I couldn't flash any of 7.12 ROMs I've found for this model (XOSP, LineageOS, ResurrectionOS, ViperOS). All of them crashes with this same error :
Code:
ApplyParsedPerms : lsetfilecon of /system/lost+found to u:object_r:system_set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
I've made some digging, and found out that this error is due to incompatibility recovery with android 7.12. I've also found the information that update CWM to newer version would resolve this issue. Although, due to recovery being flashed via MTK SP Flash Tool, I'm now stuck on CWM 5.5.0.4. I can't update it via Rom manager - CWM is not event detected by app, and thus I can't update it via APP. I can't replace it with fastboot (due to fastboot not supporting flashing recovery), and I can't install TWRP via app TWRP - installation bricked recovery mode, so I had to restore it from original files through SP Flash Tool.
So now is the main question - does anybody know how to update CWM or install TWRP via SP Flash Tool? Is there any way to replace default CWM used by MTK Droid Tool, so I can generate the recovery image for SP Flash Tool with newer CWM or TWRP?
Or maybe there's other way to replace recovery or make it working in fastboot? I've read that the main cause with flashing recovery is not doing it in download mode. But I CANT run FASTBOOT in download mode with VOL DOWN + POWER sequence, because it runs chineese test menu and not FASTBOOT. The only way I can run fastboot is "reboot to fastboot" via adb, and this one doesn't work with flashing recovery.
Also tried to flash recovery via Mobileuncle Tools app. Still nothing. Every recovery image I've found doesn't work. Only one that works (and I've found on this forum) is 5.5.0.4 (the same MTK Droid Root & Tools generates). I've also tried to search recovery in original thread on 4pda forum, but all recovery images posted there are already deleted.
Or maybe if anyone have the same model with alredy flashed newer CWM recovery and could share it, I would be greatly appriciated.
I accidently sent some zip file instead of img file using adb flash boot command, now my phone is stuck at fastboot, doesn't reboot to normal, always reboots to fastboot, I have flashed twrp recovery and wiped all data, still doesn't work, what shall i do?

hmm. i remember flasing the wrong stuff but I don't know if it was this phone. flash stock from using miflashtool
Hi @niyaalo welcome to the forum! That's a nice device you've got.
Just run the flash_all_except_storage.sh (or .bat if you're on windows)
from official stock Xiaomi MIUI fastboot firmware folder. You can download it from official Xiaomi website.
Preferably it should be the same firmware version that is currently installed on your device.
This should restore your firmware without affecting your user data.
Good luck!
