For Those Who DOOO
Hi DODOS,
We know that, inorder to downgrade from Miui 6 to Miui 5 on Mi3W,we have to lose entire Internal SD card if we use fastboot flashing method,and hence i made this thread to help you people avoiding the loss of entire data.
Requirements:
1) Mi3W (A Dragon In Your Pocket )
2)CWM recovery (Download From Attachment)
3)Recent stable version of Miui v5 rom(Get it from the download section of official miui english website)
Procedure:
1)Backup your apps and settings since they'll be wiped.
2)Open the Updater app and select update package(i.e the downloaded CWM recovery) by browsing through your sd card.
3)Tap on reboot and enter into recovery by holding "vol+" button
4)Select your active system(choose any of the system and go to advanced menu,you can see your active system their,then change to current active system from managed system[system 1/2] )
5)wipe data/factory reset
6)wipe cache partition
7)mounts and storage>format /system(To avoid force closes of apps after rebooting)
8)advanced>wipe dalvik cache
9)install zip>choose zip from /sdcard>0/>Downloaded Stable ROM
10)reboot system now (Select ---yes-disable recovery flash and root your device if prompted)
This Worked For Me and I felt to share it with you people..Thank you.
and
THANKS to
@Ivan @huangqiwu and @Shahzad
for CWM
Let me know your response. Plz reply..

After wiping the phone, how do you restore your previous apps?

You can restore apps and app data using MIUI's backup and reset option. Few system apps may not get restored since you are downgrading,but that doesn't create an issue. I'm using most of the apps (excluding system apps) normally.

Hi,
I recently unlocked my bootloader after a really long time. I then proceeded to flash twrp and then flashed superSU and rooted my phone. I took a backup of my rom and then proceeded to install RR 5.8.4. I was given a error 7. Tried this method (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2522762) but then it gave me a error 6. Would someone help me out ?
Thx.
1) flash latest global developer MIUI ROM via MiFlash to updated firmware and to reset things if they messed up (watch out if you lock your bootloader while flashing, choosing the wrong .bat file);
2) after flash TWRP via fastboot;
3) boot TWRP and "advanced wipe" ALL partitions (except MicroSD if you have a MicroSD inserted and you want to keep its data);
4) reboot to recovery and install the RR .zip file (and the gapps .zip file if you use it);
5) after you boot into RR, you can then reboot to TWRP and install Magisk .zip to get root and other nice things.
Can i factory reset my device instead of flashing developer rom as the developer rom is quite big, around 1.4gb?

If you've TWRP installed at the moment then try this :
Boot to TWRP
Take a nandroid backup (just incase)
Wipe > advanced wipe > swipe to confirm
Flash firmware if you're coming from marshmallow based MIUI
Flash ROM & Gapps
Reboot
If you still get errors, probably corrupted zip. Try Re-downloading the zip.

You can try. Remember that if you download the full MIUI ROM, you should follow this guide http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
You can also upgrade the firmware without downloading the full ROM, from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/re.../firmware-firmware-update-2017-08-04-t3651537
Will try soon and reply
Even after flashing the firmware, i get the same error 7
I have downloaded this rom (https://www.google.co.in/amp/s/foru...nt/rom-resurrectionremix-5-8-2-t3567023/amp/) and flashed twrp using this guide (http://en.miui.com/thread-536180-1-1.html)
Maybe this is a stupid question, but your phone has MediaTek chipset or Qualcomm chipset?
I'm pretty sure it is qualcomm as the cpu speed is 2.0ghz
Now, i get this error and status error 7.
What should i do?
Where you can format all partitions, you can fix them too.
It looks like your /data is using f2fs, you should fix it converting the partition in ext4 (in official TWRP it's not possible to use f2fs).
Check all partitions, not only /data, to be formatted as ext4
So, what r the steps i should follow?
And btw, is there any unofficial twrp which i could use?
Enter TWRP, choose Wipe > Advanced Wipe
Check the box for "data"
Tap "change or repair file system"
Tap "Change file system"
Tap "ext4"
Swipe the button
Repeat for other partitions
I don't know if there are unofficial TWRP that support f2fs. Probably they exists, but you should also check if the default RR kernel supports f2fs, else you have to flash a custom kernel that supports f2fs.
Just one important question. During this process, if something weird happens ( like i get my phone soft bricked) and i got a nandroid backup. Will i be able to flash it successfully using twrp?
Yes, changing file system is a pretty safe operation (except for the erasing of the data inside the partition, as a normal format).
Flashing the backup or a full fastboot image will reset things back.
But it already shows it as ext4
Oh mahn, it still doesn't resolved?
Flash official TWRP via fastboot mode, skip this step if your already on official TWRP
Boot to TWRP
Wipe
Flash cm14.1 mido firmware
Flash Rom
Flash Gapps
??
Reboot
Note that, you should try Re-downloading all the things, like Rom / Gapps

hi i tryed to convert my redmi note 4x to global when flashing with mi flash tool i did it without clean and after that firmware finish installing but got stuck in bootloop now i flashed twrp and tryed to flash custom rom but again bootloop when i check my storage it shows 9gb now when its actual is 32gb i think i disturbed partitions any solution available?
Are you able to boot into TWRP?? If not flash TWRP first using fastboot.
Once you have access to TWRP boot into it and perform a full wipe (System + Data + Cache + Dalvik + Internal Storage). Perform a format too after wipe to be on the safer side. Now copy a custom ROM or MIUI ROM to your Internal Storage or SD card through a computer. Once copied install your ROM.
If you flashed custom ROM flash Gapps after flashing ROM. Reboot.
If you flashed MIUI, flash lazyflasher after that(or phone will be stuck at MI logo). Reboot.
You can find download links for lazyflasher here on XDA or you can google it too.

@ArK96 is right but the only thing i suggest is to, flash miui and lazyflasher first so as to properly set up the initial firmware, and partitioning. After miui boots properly, you can do anything you want. :highfive:

Go here and download the Global Stable worldwide release version firmware.
Boot into twrp wipe and format everything. Also after that reflash TWRP again using fastboot.
Once reflashed boot into TWRP and again perform a full wipe and format, then install the downloaded firmware zip. After that reboot TWRP and try flashing MIUI.

Yes. Red wolf is more MIUI friendly, it is made with OTA survival in mind. But your issue is that the ROM is not getting flashed. You can try what I said above about TWRP reflash, if it doesn't work you can go ahead and try redwolf. REDWOLF is nothing but modded TWRP, base code is still TWRP.

Good job mate.
Hello everyone,
Having a series of bug that I did not like, I tried to flash my mi9 with an older version of the EU rom.
Since, my phone reboots constantly on TWRP and if I go in the files of the SD card, it is big anything in it.
Basically my phone is bricked.
I need your help to get by because the only thing that starts is TWRP ..
Someone could he save me?
Based on ny previous experience with another Android devices, I think your Mi 9 is far from beying bricked. All you need is to flash a stock image through fastboot.

This steps can be applied for upgrading from P to Q too ?
You don't have to reboot after formatting data ?
But never reboot after wiping system, yeah

Uhh yeah! You need to reboot to recovery to see if TWRP is still on there. Formatting means EVERYTHING gets yeeted out the back door. When you format data, always, and I mean ALWAYS reboot to recovery, and then you can flash your vendor image following your rom.
well, i flashed the android 10 version from "mi dot com/global/androidqbeta" , then i wanted to go back to the pixel experience rom and it didn't boot, it boot loped to twrp, so, I wiped all the partitions, and tried to flash the global version that came with the phone and it gives me the error "vendor error flashing" and then on another try after flashing the vender through twrp "system error flashing", then I formated all the partitions and then tried with the miflash tool version 2018-5-28, and it says device mismatch, but I am sure I have the mi 9 cepheus, 64gb 6gb ram, do i try flashing it with the European version ? i remember it came with the global version ...
[edit]
well, i solved it by making sure i had the same name on the folder that i had on the decompressed folder .. i've never encountered such an error
hope this helps someone ahah

Not fw you'll have to flash the whole rom.
You can flash any Android 10 MIUI ROM (Except Elite) . I used MIUI pulse in my case.
