After Bootloader unlock no Phone function, no FP, no Sound - Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers

Hello, guys,
i unlocked my Bootloader properly, i flashed a ROM, i flashed all ROMs but the phone function is gone, no Audio Sound, no FP working!!! I dont know what to do, could someone teach me how to get my phone working again?

Did you flash xiaomi.eu pie rom before flashing an android pie rom?
Did you follow the installation instructions in the rom post that you tried to install?
you can always go back to miui stock downloading a fastboot rom image and using miflash

Flash stock miui 10 with mi flash and after this install miui 10 based on android p.

Try flashing the firmware over your rom https://sourceforge.net/projects/revolutionos-miui/files/9.3.7/Mi 8 Lite/ then do wipes (cache and dalvik)

Yes, it could be before or after. This issue would be solved by restoring vendor partition but most of user don't made a backup before flash custom roms

Try the next if one of this doesn´t result:
- Restore the vendor partition, do wipes, reboot
- Flash the firmware linked over your rom, do wipes, reboot
- Do a clean flash again, wipe cache, dalvik, system and data (if it´s important backup it before), flash the custom rom you are using, GApps, Magisk, reboot.
Report results to help others.

No, just one and it doesn´t work then try the next. An user are reporting that by flashing firmware was solved so try first this step. @Snowdine Glad it solved.

What he suggested will delete the lockscreen password/passcode etc so you can boot the phone without any prompts. You do this within TWRP.

oh in that case, should I have to factory reset everytime I flash a rom through my TWRP? I use ZCX TWRP, so Lazy flasher is not required after rom flashing right?
you just need it once . to decrypt your storage

In the information about the ZCX TWRP I found below:
ZCX TWRP : http://forum.xda-developers.com/redm...persu-t3462448
- Based on official TWRP 3.0.2-0
- Patches boot.img automatically (Removes dm-verity flag)
- Disables forced encryption
Should I have to tweak anything in TWRP settings to remove this dm-verify flag everytime?

I tried it. Earlier i did not have any issue even if i install custom rom on my Redmi note 3. But today i thought of trying Pure Nexus *Substratum* rom. And on the first boot it asked me to enter password. though i have never kept password for my mobile, i tried all the passwords that i remember, which didnt solve my issue. then saw ur reply and tried it, and still it didnt work for me. Any other way?:crying:

Are you coming from MIUI? If so then MIUI encrypts the data partition, hence the new ROM asking for a password.
Before you install the ROM, you must "format data" on wipe in TWRP, this is different from wipe data.
Note that this will delete all your data obviously.

Posted a thread on MIUI forum as well. Waiting for some sort of help.

Unable to understand what is the issue.

Are you sure that you used "format data"?
Wipe data doesn't remove the encryption.

Exclude bootloader partition while backing up, good to go. And also, once everything's going right just wipe from twrp & flash firmware, Rom & gapps, Reboot!

Anyway, backup / restore is still buggy on mido!
Why you wanna take nandroid? Just wipe everything and flash cm14.1 firmware first, then custom rom & gapps, reboot!
You can easily flash Miui using TWRP if you don't like custom Roms!

Nah, it depends!
If you're coming from Android 6X based MIUI then you need to flash cm14.1 firmware, if you're jumping from Android Nougat based MIUI then there's no need of firmware.

bootloop issue

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.

Issue with Flashing the Stock ROM

Hello, i currently have a Redmi 5 Plus (Vince). I tried flashing a ZIP file and ended up killing the system, so i decided to flash a custom ROM. I got Lineage OS, but a day after i decided to get back to the stock ROM. But, when i am trying to flash the stock ROM, even though it says it was successful i am still stuck in bootloop. I will be really thankful if anyone could help me with this.

Ever that you think to start to flash something onto your device is recommendable to backup at least some critical partitions like EFS, modem, maybe bootloader so if something goes wrong you can solve it.
Now as you need to format data and this will erase partitions like data and 0 (sdcard) in the case you have some important files (musics, pictures and others) you could need to backup them before to start the process.
Miui roms is decrypted by default so in order to can reboot you need to format data.

Remove your password pin pattern then wipe data system cache if you don't clean flash then you will get alot of force crashes. You can dirty flash on top of the same rom though if it's just a incremental update.
1. Remove pattern and pin. If you don't do this step then you will have to factory reset your phone with stock MIUI.
2. Wipe all except internal storage and external storage.
3. Flash vendor and rom.
4. Flash disableforceencryption with magisk 18.0.
5. Flash your twrp again so it isn't replaced by stock.

hey bro
search for MULTIROM thread
you can flash multiple roms and your primary one won't be touched or affected as long as you follow the instructions.
for me ,i always use one of miui roms as a primary ( some bugs occur if miui used as secondary )
& AOSip/ pixel experience/ ..... as secondary roms.. add as much as you want.
learn the procedure carefully then you are ready to go.

No, you are right. Only OEM ROMs which have recovery built in will replace TWRP. None of the custom ROMs to my knowledge have recovery built in. So no need to flash TWRP again unless you are flashing OEM ROMs.
Even when flashing OEM ROMs, if you flash Magisk immediately after the ROM before booting, TWRP will remain.
