friends
i have Redmi3 and i installed lineage OS 14 via twrp3.0.2
I didnt not enjoy much and when i tried flashing miui8.1 ( android 5.1.1 ) back to redmi3 via twrp. it gives signature error Or sometimes it give internal storage cannot mount error.
is there a way to install miui8 now?
- miflash also gives invalid partion directory error. the device don't go in to DOWNLOAD mod any more via pressing volumeup+power key...
EDL
I'm having trouble with this too, can anyone help?
What miui version you try to flash? Official, xiaomi.eu?
I had trouble too...
Yes, this problem doing me Lineage too. I can´t boot or instal MIUI, whole phone is bricked, no TWRP, locked again...
I must flash fastboot ROM in EDL mode with MiFlash and doing all again, unblock bootloader, install TWRP and install some good ROM...

The plan which lead to the situation was like that: install the lastest miui developer's rom in order to get the latest firmware. Then install the LineageOS 14.1.
So i downloaded the latest miui developer's version from here: miui download-301.html#438
Downloaded the final LineageOS from here: lineageos.org kenzo
and the google apps for Arm64 7.1 from here: opengapps
(I am not allowed to post links)
Steps i took:
1.Boot into recovery
2.Factory reset
3.Install miui rom
4.Factory reset
5.Install LineageOS
6.Install google apps
7.reboot
Is there any screw up here?
After those steps my phone on start up flashes the Mi icon and then shuts down.
I can't get into recovery but i can get into fastboot
I have tried installing MiFlash and flash the original version but i get "MiFlash Error. Critical Partition Flashing is not allowed."
I have tried getting into edl mode but windows 7 x64 cannot find the "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" drivers. (I have read that this may fix the MiFlash error)
Have anybody experience anything similar, how would you suggest me to proceed?
Thanks
Your bootloader got locked.
You have to unlock it officially via fastboot and Miunlock or you can flash fastboot ROM with MiFlash via this guide:
http://en.miui.com/thread-235865-1-1.html
Firmware only gets permanently installed with fastboot rom flash, you were installing recovery rom, which deletes firmware after a factory reset i believe.
Just flash by the guide provided, it will definetlly work if you do it the right way.
Then you can wipe all and flash LOS+arm64 gapps
Just dont wipe microSD or if you dont have it then leave internal storage where you keep that.

Thanks for the link, i will try the steps mentioned and reply back tomorrow.
Regarding the reason of this situation, i think the recovery program stated that factory reset was wiping data, system and dalvik cache. Those partitions wouldn't flash the firmware right?
edit:
The description in the link provided by denistina solved my problem, i have managed to install the fastboot rom. My problem was that windows did not recognize the qualcomm drivers, but when i set the update path of the driver to "MiFlashInstallationDir\Source\ThirdParty\Qualcomm\Driver" i got it solved. (as it's described in the link, the signature verification should be disabled)

there was no reason to install miui rom.
if yr phone is still bricked, unbrick it via edl method.
then unlock recovery officially

I had the lollipop or something like before the upgrade. So i wanted to get the firmware up to speed. The LineageOS doesn't include one if i am not mistaken.
But even if it was pointless, why did it created those complications?
It was not pointless, its the only way to update firmware and bootloader permenently if you flash EDL fastboot ROM and officialy unlock it. Its the only right way, especially if you never flashed with MiFlash before.
Nice that I helped you enjoy

in the miflash the default option is to relock the bootloader. (flash+lock)
I didn't realize that when i did the procedure, so i think if i wouldn't have selected that option the bootloader would have remained unlcoked.

Yea, you can choose flash all and lock or only flash all.
You can manually unlock like you did if tou have permission, so no problem that way

Happened to me on my Mido, all I did was just get phone to fastboot mode, fastboot command ~ fastboot boot <whatevertherecocery.img >, it'll boot to TWRP, then wipe everything, flash firmware* followed by Rom + Gapps. Reboot....
how can you unlock phone without going in fastboot mode , because in this situation we can use use it , just redmi logo appears and phone goes off
In my RN 4 SD global, I tried to install global recovery Rom. I can't simply choose the update package. if I reboot in recovery mode I could see only 3 items reboot in system, wipe data, Connect to Mi assistant. That's all. Wipe and reset, install update into system are missing. My phone is bootloader unlocked. I tried fastboot to flash the rom it showed error. please help me to resolve this.
Try to download the update rom so you can use the updater app, that if you are running MIUI?
Also try the other version of fastboot file and use Xiaomi flash.
If Xiaomi Flash gives you error, then you might need to force it via the method on the link below.

I've tried it when Flasher shows a successful flash but nothings happen to my device. So I used that method on the link.
Hello everyone,
I have a redmi note 4X with MTK soc
The bootloader is unlocked.
I want to flash TWRP recovery. I use adb, the "nickel " TWRP, and message in the cmd window was "ok"
but when i reboot, whatever the way (buttons or adb reboot), it still reboot on the stock recovery.
I've tryed many times, even with a "moly" TWRP (with my MI 4S, the "aqua" didn't work and I had to flash the "libra" one and it was all effective)
Tryed to re install adb, etc. Wathever, it's always "ok" in adb but still reboot on the stock recovery.
Can't try with flashtool or that kind of (Mitool Flash atc) because I can't find the right "scatter" files....
Does anyone have a clue? what is blocking?
Thanks for help
You must reboot back to recovery, not to system, after installing TWRP.
1. Install TWRP
2. Reboot to Recovery (not to system) - this means you will see TWRP screen again
3. Now you can reboot to System
This is only done for the first time installing TWRP. Next time, TWRP will always be there.
Hello,
Well please I need new help !!
Now I'm fighting a new issu !! Now that I at last managed to flash TWRP, and enter in this custom recovery, my phone don't boot system anymore !! stay stuck on the MI logo (
Do I need to flash the boot.img ? But why the hell would a recovery flashing would have change the boot partition??
And if so, where please could I find the boot.img for MIUI 10.1 stable?
Hello,
For those who have the same issu.
I've flashed a boot.img file found in unzipped miui rom zip.
- download from xiaomi.eu the right rom
- unzip
- find the boot.img file
- flash it with adb / fastboot
Well, So now I have my phone and datas back, and can boot on a custom recovery; but TWRP don't work well. Doesn"t keep the settings, can't install anything (it doesn't find any file when exploring ) and can't wipe cache (as if it can't read partition). That's all I tryed by now, I despair a little and that's a lot of time for an easy thing (was very easy on other phones)
Well, this time I'm flooded, i' ll take somme time but don't give up trying to root that phone
Start again, and I recommend ZCX-TWRP-3.0.2-X-REDMI_NOTE4-MTK_Nikel-16.11.18.img and Magisk instead of SuperSU

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
Phone: Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite 64/4 Global (platina with custom ROM installed) Windows 10 Pro 1909, MSI B350M Bazooka with AMD Ryzen 5 2600.
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
miui_MI8LiteGlobal_V11.0.2.0.QDTMIXM_5574e03233_10.0.zip
Filesize
1.8G
MD5
5574e032330450c44c34d7f054de477b
Link
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

If it was Cyberpunk edition you tried then.. may be the device is bound to Android Oreo firmware.. You can try Miui 9 fastboot Rom.. Don't lock the bootloader.. keep the bootloader Unlocked while flashing.. remember only Clean All option is selected.. Don't select clean&lock if you are in this situation
