Hello,
Since MIUI 10.3.1.0 (PEIMIXM) was launched, I tried to update my device. After the update, when the smartphone rebooted it kept stuck in Mi logo sreen (Android loading wasn't also appearing). I tried to use MiFlash to reflash the ROM and the same happended.
Thinking it was a random problem of MIUI I decided to move to Pixel Experience because I had used it before and I liked. In the same day of MIUI 10.3.1.0 (PEIMIXM) launch, Pixel Experience also launched a new whyred version (in the beggining of June, i think).
I did what was needed to successfully install the ROM according to the dev's thread:
-I downloaded all the needed files (MIUI 10.3.1.0 PEIMIXM firmware, Pixel Experience ROM, recommended modified TWRP version of the developer);
-Initially, I installed TWRP via fastboot mode;
-I flashed the firmware;
-I wiped the partitions Cache Dalvik / ART, System, Cache, Data, vendor;
-I flashed Pixel Experience ROM;
-I wiped Internal Storage;
-I rebooted the device.
After those steps, I couldn't get access to my "homescreen". Basically, my phone stays stuck at the Mi logo screen. And nothing happens.
Considering it could be a recovery problem, I tried to use Pitch Black Recovery (the latest version available for whyred) that supports Oreo and Pie. I used TWRP to flash this one, and after that I made all the steps above again and the same happened.
I'm now only available to flash MIUI (if it is Android 8.1). I can only flash Pixel experience versions that were released before the MIUI Pie stable for this device.
I really appreciate if you could help me!
Hi,
Copy:
- the full name of the firmware file you used
-The full name of the rom file you use
-The full name of the recovery file you use/intend to use.
The name and version of current recovery installed.
Cheers,

You have a problem because of the firmware (likely).
The order was supposed to be something like this, from an OREO recovery and OREO FW:
In the recovery flash Pie firmware MIUI V10.3.1.0.PEIMIXM first and hit reboot to recovery. (so that firmware is really updated)
Now flash latest PIE rom (PixelExperience_whyred-9.0-20190604-1615-OFFICIAL.zip at time of writing). Do not reboot
Flash OrangeFox-R9.0-2-whyred-MIUI-Pie.zip. It will automatically reboot into recovery again.
I would:
-Flash the orange fox recovery from here (OrangeFox-R10.0_1-Stable-whyred.zip):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...ment/twrp-orangefox-recovery-project-t3837547
It's supposed to support both oreo and pie. It should reboot in recovery again after flashing.
-Flash the FW (fw_whyred_miui_HMNote5Global_V10.3.1.0.PEIMIXM_d4d 2c9f2aa_9.0.zip), hit reboot to recovery
-Flash your PixelExperience_caf_whyred-9.0-20190709-1819-OFFICIAL.
Reboot into system and check.
If not, I would try reflashing the recovery with a proper OREO firmware and then
In the recovery flash Pie firmware MIUI V10.3.1.0.PEIMIXM first and hit reboot to recovery. (so that firmware is really updated)
Now flash latest PIE rom. Do not reboot
Flash Flash OrangeFox-R9.0-2-whyred-MIUI-Pie.zip (pie) or V10 which is supposed to be oreo/pie. It will automatically reboot into recovery again.
Based on whatever mess it is now, you might have to do some wipes, try first the above then report.

Hummm. it's happening a suspect thing! I made all the steps above, and I'm now flashing the ROM itself, and recovery is stuck at "Unpacking the original boot image".

Wait a bit maybe.
Just to make sure, verify the checksum of your downloaded files or redownload them again and compare the size. Just to be sure you have the proper files and they are completed.

It's everything right with files.
I'm still waiting... And it's strange because it's stuck on "Unpacking boot image" and the problem I was facing was associated with booting the system.

Can you check /tmp/recovery.log? ideally copying that in a pastebin.
We should look into doing the proper cleaning from recovery as well, (wipe, advanced wipes).
Do you have any data to save or can you clean flash all without problem?

You're supposed to adb pull /tmp/recovery.log.
Might not be needed, if you can simply do a wipe/advanced wipe, and a format of /data.
Note: it might not be necessary and you will delete things, it's just " the fastest way".
then you have to go through the flashing, again, I would even redo the fw as described earlier.

I could flash the ROM but, still in bootloop... But it's curious! If I let my smartphone turned off for 10-15 minutes and then turn it on, Pixel Experience works and boots successfully but after some minutes of using, starts crashing, and reboots, again in bootloop

Still the same.... I tried again, with other recoveries.... Always the same thing! Bootloop.
But if I let it turned off for some time I can boot it (but after some minutes it automatically restarts and gets in bootloop again )

It's clearly not related to recovery, at least, not directly.
-Check what "wipes" you have done, and ideally do all of them + format data (you can always reencrypt later). Then, reboot, and redo the flashing of everything.
-Another option would be to flash with "miflash" which I think will also restore some boot things. In that scenario, you are on your own because I don't know about ARB in your case and all potential issues.
I can only say that I did a "miflash" when I used to have ARBv3, and it went fine (I had to redo the recovery, etc... after).

Hey guys,
I've had a total of 4 android smartphones during the last years, and I did root all of them and even install diferent ROM's, but on this phone (Honor 7) was kinda diferent.
The root process is way more complex than all the other androids I did root (simply flash a .zip file...) so I've been post-poning this task over and over..
Finally yesterday I gained courage to try out rooting my phone, and while attempting to root my Honor 7, after flashing SuperSU from TWRP, my phone no longer booted.
Stressed as I was, I just told to myself "f*ck it" and formatted the system and I didn't care much if there was a fix without needing to format the system. (but then I realised that I could not find any .img ROM files to flash from TWRP recovery, so basically I did my actions wrong once again)
I followed the tutorial from guidebeats.com which talks about rooting EMUI 4.0 Android 6.0 (I cant post links)
Basically this is the story:
While unlocking the bootloader, even though, the tutorial said the phone would reboot itself after typing "flashboot oem unlock 1234934829" I did a hard reboot (or reset?) holding (VOL+) + Power button and I have the feeling that the bootloader unlock was not 100% done, even if it said it was unlocked. (Phone was working perfectly fine there)
Then I flashed SuperSU, and I could no longer boot. After powering up my phone, after the first splashscreen, the screen would only turn black.
What (I think) I need to now is remove the TWRP recovery, and use the stock one and attempt to install an "update" using (Vol+) + (Vol-) + Power. (please correct me if I'm wrong)
But now there's some issues I got that I'd like some help with:
1- How can I get back to the stock recovery? (NOTE: I currently got no OS installed on my Honor 7, since I formated it)
2- Will I need to lock and unlock my bootloader again (if I want to 'fix' the bootloader unlock?)
3- Where can I get official Honor 7 stock ROM? (would be awesome if there was already the Android 6 stock rom for a clean install)
4- What are the steps on this tool (Honor 7 Multi-Tool) to root my phone?
I need my Honor 7 asap
Sorry for the long post, It's my first time doing a more advanced root and I have all these questions.
Thank you very much for any kind help!

As you are already familiar with adb and other stuff so will write a short post for you.
To download latest firmware, head to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/hon...tock-firmware-packages-honor-7-t3448747/page1
Google, download and install Huawei update extractor and open UPDATE.APP in it (obtained after extracting firmware).
You can see all the images. Just extract recovery and boot to platform-tools folder.
Meantime, do the unlocking command again, with
Fastboot OEM unlock xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Followed by fastboot reboot
And press and hold the vol down button again until you reboot in bootloader.
Flash the recovery and boot you extracted using
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
(I got a habit of extracting and flashing system and Cust using
Fastboot flash system system.img
Fastboot flash Cust Cust.img
But they are not necessary)
Now you are set to try a 3 button update (sometimes it gets stuck so if it's stuck for 15 minutes, try 3 button again).
Please do report back if it comes to life.
To root, just flash twrp and then use SuperSU 2.62 (no other version) and update it later using play store.

Hey!
Thank you alot for your reply.
From the link you sent about the firmwares, there are alot of Builds for the L01 (EU) model. Can I simply use the latest from the list or I gotta install 1 by 1 (from older to newer)?
Also, the bootloader unlock thing, is it ok if I wait to do it until I install the stock ROM again? Because I think I don't have the code anymore (Also don't know about IMEI)
Other thing, yesterday before bricking my phone, I tried to re-unlock the bootloader as you said above, but it didnt let me because "it was already unlocked".
I really have no idea if it's 100% unlocked or not.
important thing!
With those ROM's, I still have the right to receive official OTA updates from the HiCare app right?
Thank you again

Just use B380 as it's the latest full firmware available there.
Unlocking bootloader again was just a precautionary measure (proceed without it and if it is not 100% unlocked and if something goes wrong, we can troubleshoot later, which imo, won't happen)
And yep, if you keep the firmware as it is, but if you flash twrp and root, you will still see the update available in Hicare but will have to install stock recovery again before upgrading. (Nothing else is needed as SuperSU 2.62 gives a systemless root so you only need to flash back stock recovery for an update)
I am not against honor-tool bit it's best to do things manually as it makes you learn stuff and is easy to troubleshoot if something is amiss.

Alright, btw, about the thing you said
"Now you are set to try a 3 button update (sometimes it gets stuck so if it's stuck for 15 minutes, try 3 button again)."
I gotta do that myself with an "update.app" file or what?
Sorry, I missed that part

You have to make a dload folder in SD card and copy UPDATE.APP to that folder.
Then just turn off the phone, press and hold power + vol up + vol down until phone boots.
Let go of power but keep others two pressed for 5, 6 sec more. Your phone will boot into recovery and start installing UPDATE.APP
It likes to get stuck at 5% (most reports) but sometimes, somewhere else. If its stuck for 15 minutes on a particular percentage, just press and hold the above three buttons again using the same process.
Multiple tries make it work...

Hello
How did you format your phone?
I'm still struggling with going back to Android 5 and EMUI 3.1 since there is no rollback file available. (PLK-AL10, B396) Maybe formatting and installing the old rom could be a solution, like in your case?

Hello.
Do you have unlocked bootloader and TWRP recovery? You can format your phone from TWRP recovery.
I think the only option for you is to get the old ROM img and flash it (starting from 0)
You can dirty-flash (Flash a different ROM with same android version as yours, e.g: flashing custom android 5 ROM over your stock android 5 ROM without factory resetting your phone) but I dont think you can do that from Android 6 to 5.

Yes I have unlocked bootloader and currently not twrp but I can flash it at any time.
The last two paragraphs you wrote are different solutions or the last one is a more detailed explanation of the previous?
I have android 6 so the later method won't work as you said.
But formatting it and flashing a stock android 5 rom - is it that simple? Nobody here suggested this before, however I have been asking for months.
All the phones are empty when they leave the assembly line.
How did you flash the new rom to your formatted phone? Extracted update.app and flashed each file with fastboot? Any issues you faced?

From my last 2 paragraphs, the first was a solution, the second was an impossible alternative that I thought it would work.
My issue was that I had a custom recovery but I had no ROM installed, so I had to install the stock recovery and boot (extracting from update.app) and flashing it via fastboot, to afterwards force the update with 3-button method.
-----
What you'll need to do is:
- Flash TWRP
- Wype system, data, cache.. (so that you completely delete your current ROM)
- Extract recovery.img and boot.img from an update.app of an Android 5 ROM you'd like to have (Official ROM for your device model)
- Flash them via fastboot (You'll go back to stock recovery again)
- Shutdown your device
- Create a folder named "dload" on your sdcard and put UPDATE.APP file in it.
- Reboot
- Do the 3-Button update ([Vol+] + [Vol-] + Power)
- If it works, it will auto install
(- If it gets stuck on 5% for over 5/10min, force reboot pressing [Vol+] + Power) and try again the installation
- After installing it will boot normally (first boot takes a while)
NOTE: I'd recommend creading the dload folder before wiping the ROM, because usb didnt work for me afterwards. (It would still work if I was on recovery tho)
>> Remember to make a full system backup before wiping aswell, dont be stupid like me xD (thats why I had to full wipe my system after soft-brick)

NOTE: I'd recommend creading the dload folder before wiping the ROM, because usb didnt work for me afterwards. (It would still work if I was on recovery tho)
>> Remember to make a full system backup before wiping aswell, dont be stupid like me xD (thats why I had to full wipe my system after soft-brick)
Im answering based on what I did and was explained here to me

Hi again,
I'm doing this OS installation now. It starts fine but stucks at 90%, (I'm trying to install the latest stock ROM which can be downloaded from Huawei site, B220 or221). Did you have the same issue? I waited more than half an hour at 90% but did not go on.

Hello
How did you format your phone?
I'm still struggling with going back to Android 5 and EMUI 3.1 since there is no rollback file available. (PLK-AL10, B396) Maybe formatting and installing the old rom could be a solution, like in your case?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Maybe formatting, Flash stock Android 5 recovery using Honor multitool , and then Flash a Android 5 firmware
Not sure it Will Work without rollback..
Finally, after 2 months of struggling I managed to get back to Android 5 and EMUI 3.1 without a rollback file.
Here is what I did:
0. Download a full ROM you want to install
1. Backup of the current system with Hisuite (everything. Apps, media, contacts, call log, etc.)
2. Flash TWRP recovery with fastboot (start phone in fastboot mode)
3. Wipe (and format!) everything you can with TWRP
4. Extract boot.img and recovery.img from update.app of the new ROM with Huawei Update Extractor
5. Flash boot.img and recovery.img with fastboot.
6. Copy update app to dload folder on SD card, insert into the phone.
7. Restart phone with [VOL+] + [VOL-] + [Power] buttons to force update.
8. The system will be installed from SD card. I had no issues with the installation. First I did not format the phone (just wiped) and it did not work.
9. Restore data from backup.
The only strange thing is that the native app icons look different than my previous lollipop system. Don't know why. They are less colorful. I installed C00B220 for PLK-AL10.

Yes it does. (It did for me.) Technically this is not a rollback but installing a brand new system on an empty phone. That's why it is important to do a backup upfront.

Thanks for the answer. Im gonna try this method. I can't reflash any region rom.
Back to Stock with @raystef66's Files
This guide used a method stemmed from paranoia. Now that we have decent flashable files everything is much simpler!
We'll be using raystef66's flashable TWRP files to go completely back to stock. At the end there's instructions if you want to lock your bootloader.
Be sure that you are on the latest TWRP version!
1) Files to Download:
- TWRP Flashable Bootstack/Stocksystem Image from here: Download Center. Download the latest BOOTSTACK and STOCKSYSTEM from there.
- If you want to lock the bootloader, also download the STOCK RECOVERY zip from the same stocksystem version that you downloaded. The flashable stock recovery zips are on the Factory Images Division, right above the TWRP flashable files.
- Magisk 15.2 (or latest), or SuperSU 2.79 (Latest not recommended ). If you will relock the bootloader, skip this part.
2) Installation
- Put all the files on the internal storage or SD card. Backup your important stuff from the internal storage, because you might need to format it!
- Go to TWRP. Wipe data, system and cache (don't format data though).
- Install the bootstack that you downloaded. Then install the stock system.
- If you will NOT relock the bootloader, install Magisk or SuperSU
- Reboot
If the phone asks for a password when it gets to the system, go to TWRP. It will ask for a password, just select Cancel. After you're on the main TWRP screen, select Wipe, then Format data, then type yes. After that, reboot.
3) 5 second screen removal / restore Fastboot
This is useful whether you're relocking the bootloader or not. Just go to raystef66's guide and follow it completely. After doing it your phone will have Fastboot (very good for softbricks and relocking), no 5 seconds screen (your phone will boot up faster) and it will be even closer to full stock.
4) ONLY FOR RELOCKING - Replace TWRP with Stock Recovery
Simply go to TWRP and flash the stock recovery file you downloaded. After that, enable OEM unlocking and USB debugging from the dev options, and then go to Fastboot and issue "fastboot oem lock".
@Choose an username... thanks for the credits.
you can return to stock in that way. you can reflash twrp with tool, allways checking bootloader still unlocked.
I allway update in this way, reboot to twrp, flash the recovery image, not a zip, its the same, but I make sure that the recovery correspond to the base version in my phone. after that, I reboot to system directly, update in the ota way, or the zip way, but from running android, rooted or not, and I dont have to wipe.
After update is done, the most important thing is leave the phone till it is completly booted, then you can reflash twrp with axon7tool again.
You dont need to root, you dont need anything to keep twrp. You only need to flash supersu or magisk if you use darkenfx zips. And if you do it, you have to backup wipe and restore cause you lose encryptation.
But thats all. I think stock rom its still the best, not in battery life, but in camera and bundled apps, It works perfectly, except, I have 2 bugs since allways, wake up with proximity sensor covered, and whatsapp online with app in background, I can live with that
I can re-lock bootloader after this process?
thanks for the guide.
Help Needed ! A2017g Bricked while trying to returning to stock
Hi, Please help me to get my Axon 7 in a working state. I was using Xenon HD Rom for A2017g Oreo. With twrp version as suggested in the guide.
I followed the procedure, installed the bootstack and then stock system B09
But when I tried to reboot, it said no OS Installed. Then I rebooted, and it was stuck at bootloader with no twrp and just the message as follows :
Android Recovery : ZTE/P996A04_N/ailsa_ii
7.1.1/NMF26V/20171120.101942
user/release-keys
Use volume up/down and power
and then certain other options in blue
Please help !
I also have a Problem.
I tried going back to stock from LOS 14.1. Now I am stuck on the 5 seconds screen, it won't continue.
The files I used were the Nougat B10 Files :-/

Enter the recovery, it should be the stock one (turn the phone off, then hold vol+ and power). Then download a stock B10 file (not the twrp flashable one) and install it from an SD card
No its not the stock one, its still TWRP.
I only flashed Bootstack and stock system (step 2). The reboot afterwards doesnt work
What do you mean by "a stock B10 file"? There are so many files types :-/
I am not quite sure what I should do now, do I have to do the EDL route? That one sounds confusing as well.
EDIT: I tried using B08 Files and now the reboot prompt in TWRP tells me there is no os installed.
Will I, like naveen09y, end up without TWRP if I reboot now?

Probably, so just don't. You should just wipe system and data, flash the bootstack, then the system. Also follow raystef's guide to "remove bootloader unlocked inscription"
I now managed to get the phone working with EDL flash of MM B10.
But I cant relock the bootloader :-/
Bascially my bootloader is gone so I cant reboot to it and do "fastboot oem lock".
Why is this such a hassle

You didn't follow my instructions. Follow raystef's removed unlocked bootloader inscription and you'll get fastboot back. You can do that with the phone on.
Don't relock it unless it's really necessary (i.e. warranty). If you're gonna sell it just follow that guide and don't relock, the 5 seconds screen will disappear and it'll look like it's locked
I cant follow the guide because I can't access the bootloader...
Also the TWRP files in https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-install-twrp-unlock-bl-flash-t3517379 this guide (step 6) are no longer accessible.

What? Lol
First of all - you are basically installing the bootloader with raystef's guide, so I have no idea why you want to enter it...
You have to enter TWRP and follow the guide from there.
The guide from Controllerboy is basically the same guide but it also has instructions on other things (i.e. unlock etc.). I don't know what you are trying to accomplish with it. Use EDL Tool by djkuz if you want to install TWRP (it is explained there how to do that).
Phone was rooted with Magisk 16, I was on AEX Android 8.1 ROM. I'm trying to return to stock and relock bootloader.
I wiped everything, I flashed A2017G-N-B10-bootstack and A2017G-N-B10-stocksystem from "TWRP flashable Bootstack/Stocksystem Images" section. Booted to system and now phone is stuck on the ZTE POWERED BY android boot screen. 5 minutes there. Is it normal?
Edit: Got tired of waiting and kept pressing the power button. After doing so, the phone reboots but same thing. And I can't access TWRP with VOL INCREASE + POWER BUTTON.... VOL DECREASE + POWER BUTTON takes me to Factory Test Mode.

The best way to return to stock is via EDL, for example MiFlash or EDL tool. If you have an U, then DrakenFX's zips can do that, it happened to me already. Usually G zips like raystef's work just fine.
Try using Magisk instead of SuperSU, just in case. Use 16.7

Hello,
I've been using Mido over one year, never faced such a weird problem.Whenver I flash Pie Based Roms the whole screen goes blank when the Rom boots up.I've followed each & every instructions as per OP,still same result but everything works fine on Oreo/Nougat based Roms.I've used TWRP by warabhishek/Pitchblack TWRP/OrangeFox TWRP,I'm on latest 8.9.6 firmware. Tried almost every pie based roms/GSI for Mido.
Can anyone provide a fix for this issue?
Edit : So I've fixed it myself after researching on the MIUI forum.Some people got this issue on various xiaomi devices after updating MIUI,After they did a Factory reset everything went normal.So I decided to test this,I did things,which are mentioned below.
1.I was on Oreo Rom so I flashed a fastboot miui rom.(Don't lock the bootloader)
2.After the Miui rom booted,Turned on the usb debugging
3.Booted into MIUI Recovery, Performed a factory reset (I know it sounds strange,but stay sure it's going to work)
4.Flashed Treble-TWRP by abhishek
5.Once again format data from advanced wipe (Need to remove the encryption)
6.Wipe system>data>cache>vendor
7.Flash any Pie Rom & Gapps
8.Reboot
Now you won't face that strange black screen issue anymore.
Thanks

Download the latest version of Global Stable - Fastboot images. Flash them in fastboot mode using the 'flash_all_...' script file that is included in the downloaded files. Be sure not to lock the bootloader. After it flashes successfully, flash the latest TWRP recovery. Boot to recovery and FORMAT data, then reboot and let the system setup. This should take care of any missing files/structure issues.

This might help you after realizing that you want to install custom ROM again after upgrading to android 11 MIUI but you cannot install android 10 or 11 based ROM and stuck with either boot loop or android rescue party.
WARNING: This might wipe every writable partition. Charge your phone at least 20% or more to prevent from destroying these partitions.
Instructions:
1. Download firmware from here
2. Download full ROM (either recovery or fastboot) from here
3. Save the firmware zip file it in either internal storage or sdcard. Reboot to TWRP afterwards
4. Tap install and find the zip file in your storage and install. Wait for a couple of seconds to get done.
To install full ROM
Recovery
1. After installing firmware from recovery mode, don't reboot. If you reboot the system it will fail to boot. Boot to fastboot if you fail this step and flash a recovery image. Proceed with next step.
2. Install full ROM flashable zip from sdcard or internal storage.
3. Format /data. Reboot.
Using fastboot
1. Boot from fastboot mode
2. Extract full ROM fastboot zip file.
3. Open miflash and locate the fastboot folder.
4. Choose flash_all. Click start.
5. The phone reboots itself. Boot to recovery mode and wipe data.
All done. The phone is now downgraded from android 11 back to android 10.
Note: I got 2 anti triggered when attempting to downgrade the phone using recovery and fastboot without installing firmware zip file first. RIP me I guess I voided my warranty anyways so doesnt matter as I already applied some insurance for my device.
TL;DR: Installed Recovery will get erased as I mentioned in WARNING. Please don't skip every step.
Edit: since it made confusion, I split steps for recovery and fastboot mode.
Has anyone tried this procedure?
Im on 12.0.6.0(EU). Bootloader locked (wait 3days) so no TWRP. Want downgrade to 12.0.8.0(EU) and flash Pixelexperience ROM.
It will work?
I'm a bit confusing... Links inserted in first 2 points seem to be the same link. So what I've to download exactly?
I'm on 12.0.7.0 Android 10 but I'm curious to try 12.0.6.0 Android 11 stable beta released some days ago...

Its not the same. First one is cca. 80MB of size while full rom is 2.4GB for recovery and 4.4GB for fastboot.
I did this method yesterday and its working. No problems whatsoever.
The only thing i would add is you need both versions of rom - recovery and fastboot. Recovery when you flash for the first time in recovery and fastboot when you flash with Mi flash.
And my advice is, android 11 miui is really bad. Its not finished, it stutters a lot, u can't use third party launchers with gesture navigation (at least in my case, Nova lanucher), performance is bad.
Not worth any time.

i only tried recovery method and it works fine after days of trying. 12.0.6 android 11 is still buggy and miui needs to fix it a lot. most of apps are not well optimized for this flavor.
Today unlocked bootloader. Flashing 12.0.8.0 (i have 12.0.6.0 A11).
Everything work perfect. No bootloop, bootloader relock and works fine
People are probaly skipping some steps.
1. Download Firmware small size files
2. Download full Firmware, both - fastboot and recovery (put it on SD card, small and recovery)
3. Install Twrp or Orangefox recovery (download it from somewhere)
4. Enter into recovery and install small firmware FIRST, dont reboot, install big firmware (recovery version) SECOND
5. do not reboot
6. format data
7. Now reboot into fastboot
8. Extract fastboot firmware zip into new folder on desktop
9. Start Mi flash, select that folder where u extracted files and tick "clean only" on the bottom of the Mi flash if u want to leave bootloader unlocked and from drop down menu near that pick "flash_all.bat".
Thats how i did it.
