Hello...
Is it just that simple.- flash the latest official global firmware in twrp, clear cache/dalvik and reboot,- and then i am completely back on stock ?
And after it, i can lock bootloader with the miflash-unlock-tool, if i would ?
(or how to do that?)
Would anyone post a simple step by step guide here ?
Thanks in advance !!!
*push*
Anyone can confirm or correct ?
Take miflash and flash Fastboot Rom with the "delete and lock" Option.

And there is nothing to take care about, like told in this xda-story ? :
https://www.xda-developers.com/flash-miui-global-locked-bootloader-xiaomi-brick/
Just start the mi-flash-tool and select the Fastboot-Rom, for example "...Global-9.6.25.0.OEJMIFD-3433a60ef4-8.1...", and start ?
Equal, if the device is rooted with magisk and flashed with unofficial lineageOS ?
BTW.
Where to get/download the newest/correct Mi-Flash-Tool ?
How was your experience with custom ROMs? Any serious bugs??

I am on unofficial LOS 16 and it is a daily driver for me. I just want to know the complete correct way to go back to stock / lock the bootloader again, if i sell my phone in the future, like i do with every phone.

Just download the official fastboot ROM and flash via fastboot mode. It'll wipe all your data and start your device a new including locking your bootloader.

Is it possible too, to flash with TWRP, or just the fastboot-method is possible ?

Fastboot will restore your phone back to factory settings and I guess that's what you want. You can't restore to factory settings in TWRP as it requires unlocked bootloader. Just download the ROM and flash via fastboot

Ok, so if i had downloaded the fastboot-rom 9.6.25.0,- could i flash it with the mi-flash-tool from here too, to do that all (lock bootloader and completely go back to stock):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/how-to/xiaomi-poco-f1-unlock-bootloader-custom-t3839405
As i never did that before... - Is that simple or do i need a little "how-to" guide...
I was searching a bit here on xda, but didn´t found a little guide for that...

It's quite simple. I did it myself a few days ago. The tool does everything itself. But you should still read the thread if you are new to MIUI like me. But keep in mind the phone will format including the internal storage. I suggest you backup everything.

Hard brick for OPT happens when you change critical partitions. It will follow improper firmware flash or accidental erase of certain partitions. The phone won't show any response when hardbricked.
The solution for OPT is similar to OPO - you just need a Qualcomm driver and a recover package. The only full recovery package available is very big and it restore the phone to Hyrdogen OS, with everything wiped. So it would not be very attractive.
Fortunately, thanks to this post from Chinese supporting forum, a minimal version of restore package is provided. It does not wipe user data and guarantee a recovery entry. you would normally be freed using this package. if not, please use the full package in the end of the post
Download link for driver
Download link for Recovery tool
uncompress the files to a local folder.
First step, turn off drive signature enforcement in windows 8/8.1/10. Tutorial Here
Second step, hold the power key for 20 seconds to force turn off power. connect OPT to usb, hold volume+ and power until your PC finds a new hardware (if it doesn't work, try hold volume+ and volume- together)
Third step, go to device manager in your PC, find the new "QUALCOMM-HS USB Diagnostics 9006" device. Update its driver in property page using the Qualcomm driver provided (for 32bit windows, select x86 folder; for 64bit windows, select x64 folder).
Fourth step, when the driver is installed properly, run MSM8994DownloadTool.exe in the recover tools folder, using admin privileges . Clear start in top left corner and wait for it to finish.
Now your OPT should be able to enter TWRP recovery. It still won't boot but you can manually flash anything again (like the full Oxygen OS package).
The procedure is tested by me twice. Enjoy!
p.s: sorry the recovery image in the A2001_save_brick_mini.rar is Chinese. Please download this file, change the name to recovery.img and substitute the file in the recovery tool before flashing.
UPDATE：full Oxygen OS 150805 restoration package for those who experience recovery entry problem. Note that this package wipes everything including internal storage!
Awesome, I will go ahead and make a full recovery tool that includes these files as well as the latest version of OxygenOS as I did with the Oneplus one.
You write about a full Oxygen Package? What do you mean with it? a flashable .zip or fastboot .img?

Hi,
anyone knows how I can force the OnePlus Two to enter QUALCOMM-HS mode?
I have a "semi-bricked" OP2.
It can boot, but the recovery is broken and I cannot enter it anymore. Worse enough, the bootloader is locked and I cannot unlock it anymore.
So I am kinda stuck and thought this manual would bring me back recovery. But - I cannot get it to enter this specific emergency recovery mode as boot loaders are intact.
Any idea?
Thanks

Hi,
ok, I am one step further now.
I could bring the device in that mode, flashed via this recovery tool. All partitions were flashed but still no recovery. How can that be? ooops.
I did that many time on my OPO already successfully. But of course with the full recovery package.
So question is, I would not mind starting from scratch... anybody knows where the "big" recovery package that erases everything is available?
Thanks

I'm in a similar situation to you. I lost my recovery and somehow my boot loader is locked again. I can't set OEM unlock as I am on the old version of OxygenOS.
I tried the above instructions but they don't work. The phone reboots as normal, not in to recovery. If you solve this then let me know.
EDIT: I think flashing hydrogenos using this method is the best idea. We can then select the OEM unlock from developer settings, use fastboot to unlock the bootloader and flash a new recovery. The question is how? @qwsdert4

Hi, I got the "big recovery package" in question from OP support centre in China. It will recover your OPT to factory Hydrogen OS from which you could start over. I'll upload it onto Mega very soon so stay tuned.

Precisely, that is exactly what I meant. Fingers crossed that will solve this.
It could be I successfully recoverd following a hint by user @Zyxxeil (many thanks for the help).
If all works I will post soon what I did.
But - have everything running now again. Next I try to flash twrp again and root. If that worked, I will post the steps.

Is a Version with Oxygen OS also aviable?
Can anyone tell me, or point me in the direction of a detailed explanation of how to return a z2 to factory software (ie stock firmware with no twrp or root) please?
I'm currently on Existenz MM with Twrp installed.
I see I can flash a stock ROM from Twrp but how do I then get rid of custom recovery? Does it make a difference that the phone is carrier locked and was carrier branded (O2)?
Many thanks!

Click the XF button to download the latest software with XperiFirm.
Then click the Thundershock icon and select flashmode to flash the rom, it should automatically list your latest downloads.
Check the wipe boxes if there not already checked.
Should be quite straight forward.
I'm not sure if that also locks your bootloader again if you want that, but there are plenty of manuals for that.
There are also plenty of manuals how to restore your TA partition.

Multiple Tool Flash Recovery Check and unlock Bootloader
Download unzip somewhere inside PC and run with double click the Recovery-Tool.bat .
Follow instructions and check Bootloader Unlock *flash TWRP or Stock Recovery etc. Try it with your own responsibility.
Alternative you can put new TWRPS inside phone and Flash them through there as image files.

Because I realized that you don't know.. so...with check bootloader tool you find out if your bootloader is locked or unlocked and you could proceed with safety to flash custom recovery to have the full abilities of this phone at your hands. Because if you try to flash any other Rom with locked bootloader you can have a full brick. And the second is that you have the power to choose between 2 recovery's or to flash back with 2 click's the official Stock recovery to have it if and when some Nougat or else Rom came out.
Doesn't work
Good day! Tried your program on my phone (5.8.020S, bought at jd.com) - doesn't work. USB debugging is on. Phone turned on in fastboot mode.

Nothing is wrong. You just have locked your bootloader without permission to unlock. Did you put 26s with TWRP? THAT'S WHY. You must have stock locked allowed bootloader for unlock.

Thread closed on OP's request
Hello everyone, I hope you can help me in this huge problem, I do not deny being completely scared...
I'm not an expert in modding, actually I'm new in this discipline, I'm a holder of Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Qualcom 3/32.
Today I wanted to follow a video on youtube that explained how to improve my device, making these changes:
ROM Pixel Experience: https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...her-development/rom-pixel-experience-t3723382
TWRP for Redmi Note 4 (mido): https://dl.twrp.me/mido/
All versions of the Google Camera: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
Direct link to the version for Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (requires modified ROM, does not work on MIUI): https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/scrubber_GCam_5.1.018_24.apk
Kernel: https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...-development/kernel-stormguard-11-08-t3702031
So I convinced myself to take the appropriate online guides to get the same benefits described in that video.
- I managed to unlock the bootloader after three days from the request to Xiaomi.
- I followed the guide to install TWRP, the first attempt was successful, but entering the recovery I did not find the TWRP but the recovery of Xiaomi.
I realized that I should avoid starting Android first, as the system is as if it were self-protected by TWRP, replacing it with the original version.
- I made a second attempt, this time I managed to get into the TWRP screen first, but here I had to choose the "overwrite" option instead of "go into read-only mode".
Now if I restart the phone to get back to the system I am stuck with the Xiaomi logo and can no longer access the operating system.
- I have access to fastboot.
- I have access to TWRP.
- I do not have access to Android.
- I have unlocked bootloader.
- my phone is not rooted!
Panicked, I found on the internet guides that suggested to format "DALVIK" and "Data" and "Cache" via TWRP, so I did, but this did not solve the problem, I can not yet enter the operating system.
How can I recover access to my device?
What could have happened precisely?
Thank you so much ... I hope you do not have to throw the phone ...

You already have TWRP. Just boot into TWRP and install lazyflasher via TWRP. You should be able to reboot into your miui after that. As has been explained, miui will not boot after installing TWRP if you don't install lazyflasher.

Thank you so much, then tell me if I understood correctly, I do not need to panic, because the "brick" is not a real "brick" but it's just a known side effect that happens when someone decides to install TWRP on their device Xiaomi, am I right?
Since my goal is to install the Google Experience ROM on my Xiaomi, in your opinion, can I proceed with the flash of the external rom? I mean, this kind of "soft brick" is part of the normal practice for installing a custom rom? How come no guide I read talked about it? "lazyflasher" is useful to solve a damage that I created, or just to return to MIUI?
The following instructions and the current situation of this "soft brick" may have damaged something in the phone, so I have to stop moving forward with the intention to flash the Google Experience?
format "DALVIK" and "Data" and "Cache" via "advanced wipe" from TWRP

Installing TWRP damages nothing. Wiping cache and dalvik damages nothing. If that is all that you did, then nothing is damaged. If you can boot into TWRP, then almost anything can be fixed. And, yes, you should be able to install Pixel Experience or any other ROM (just make sure you follow all the instructions).
To be honest, if you are asking these questions, then you really should stay with your miui until you have secured deeper understanding of things. There are many pitfalls with regard to flashing custom ROMs, even for experienced people. Just install lazyflasher, boot into miui, and lurk round these forums for about a month, before trying anything else.

Lazyflasher allowed you to boot into what was there before TWRP was installed (which still remained there, but was inaccessible under lazyflasher was installed). Wiping the data partition will reset the phone to factory.

cool ? also please add [Resolved] in the title so that any one else having same problem can find the soulution here :fingers-crossed:
My phone is an Honor View 10 model BKL-L04 (American model) build 8.1.0.133 (C567GT).
These are the steps that I used to remove the stock firmware and recovery and replace them with something more to my taste. I did < 1% of the actual work here, I'm just putting everything that I did in once place so that other people may not have to look so hard to find answers.
Requirements
View 10 - If you don't have one then you're in the wrong place. Do NOT follow these directions for any other phone as both the directions and the links are specific to the model mentioned above.
Cash/PayPal - Most of us don't have the skills to pry out the bootloader unlock code ourselves so we must pay someone who does. God knows the manufacturer isn't going to help us out here
SD Card - You can probably get this done purely on internal storage, but weren't you going to put in a nice, big SD card anyway?
SD Card Writer (optional) - You'll need a way to load files onto the card prior to flashing. IMHO getting an SD card writer is the simplest way, but to each their own.
Unlocking
This guy will get you an unlock code for your View 10 for $22 (USD). Order a Bootloader Unlock Code, select the Huawei option "with IMEI", put BOTH of your IMEI numbers in the comments field, submit it and pay via PayPal. I got a code in about an hour. Once you have the code you can follow these directions to perform the unlocking process. If you need a bit more help getting though it then try this guide.
Flash Recovery
Don't use the official TWRP images. As of Dec 8, 2018 neither 3.2.1-0 nor 3.2.1.-1 worked for me (-0 dropped to fastboot after a few seconds and -1 caused a bootloop when entering recovery). Use the latest unofficial image from this page. Directions included. More detailed directions can be found here but make sure to use the TWRP image from the first link.
Copy Zips
Now pick out a ROM (I went with LineageOS 15.1) and copy all the zips you need to your SD card. The list probably includes the ROM itself, gapps, and some type of su/root package. Put them all on your card.
Flash ROM
If you're going with LIneageOS 15.1 as I did then this guide should get you the rest of the way. It has the links for the ROM itself as well as gapps and the su package. Again, be very careful to match exactly your phone model and architecture (arm64 for the View 10) when grabbing these packages.
Extras
You can find the latest stock firmware image for the BKL-L04 here. Be damn sure your phone matches mine before you use it! If you need to pull out the stock recovery for any reason, you can use the update extractor to do this (grab recovery_ramdisk), then flash it the same way you flash TWRP.
Good luck and have fun! I'll try to help if you get stuck but the real knowledgeable people are those that wrote the articles I've linked to.
Cheers!

Is "twrp_bkl_0.7.img" the latest one?
As of Dec 9 I believe it is, yes.

I didn't have that issue when I was first flashing the ROM, but I do now. If you're having it prior to flashing your ROM would it be because you didn't wipe & format beforehand? The guide I linked in step 5 leads you through this procedure if you need it.
As far as the unmounting error, I think that's something we'll have to live with until the issue is corrected in TWRP.

I think it works if you wipe/format first. The guide I linked walks you through this.

Hmm. Well, you can either try one of the official builds (here) or wait for the guy doing our customized build to fix this issue. You might even post a note on this thread describing your issue so that he can track how many people are having it.
Sorry I couldn't be more help. The View 10 is not the easiest phone to work with by a long shot.

You have told that you have formatted your device, if you have formatted it from twrp it will cause issues, you should format it from emui system settings.
