Hi guys
So the phone was working just fine, I wanted to update TWRP and I think I got the wrong image by mistake (I think I downloaded the Mi5 ZCX twrp), flashed it with flashify and when I rebooted nothing shows on the screen, the phone keeps vibrating every 10 seconds and when it's connected to PC I can hear it connecting then disconnecting after 2 seconds when it vibrates, I can't go into recovery nor bootloader, DID I JUST BRICK MY PHONE PERMANENTLY?
Please help guys..

Hi guys
I've fixed the issue using SP flash tool, downloaded the latest MIUI 8.1.7.0 Global Stable for MTK and tried to flash it using SP flash tool, plugged the cable in just after the phone vibrates, the flashing doesn't go all the way but it somehow reset the phone and it booted up to the system with no issues, I re-flashed the correct TWRP for my device and all is good now.
Thank you

This -
OK -
1. Your device isn't booting, it's just pops up mi logo when we long press Power button.
So, the solution?
I'm telling you one thing that, I don't know about flashing Miui roms, I'll suggest you to flash custom rom, there after you can flash Miui once you gets your device booted successfully.
Now, download these files ~
*. Firmware.zip
*. LineageOS 14.1 latest build
*. Gapps
And Put em' all inside your SD card, Insert your SD Card to your device. Booting into fastboot mode? - Use this combination ~ Power key + volume down.
Then, go to fastboot mode and type fastboot boot <whatevertherecoveryname.img> give it some time, it'll boot to TWRP.
Once you gets twrp, from twrp choose wipe > advanced wipe > wipe everything except internal and SD card > then go back to main menu of twrp choose install» choose downloaded firmware.zip flash it, once it's done, locate unofficial LineageOS rom.zip and let it flash, it done? Then at last choose gapps.zip, flash it.
After this process, hit reboot. [/HIDE]

Eh, you just said '' what if he has an SD version'' right?
So.... That's the workaround for an SD version. Lmao
That's the reason why I quoted you.

Thanks i tried deep flash cable method but it didnt worked nd tried test point method Finally it worked
Also Fixed,but FW Flash is a problem
HI,
I just wanted to comment on this, in the hope that some more experienced member, or even TheStrix would see it.
I've had the exact same problem over the last few days, but have been able to fix it each time by reflashing recovery from miFlash in edl mode;
Flashing the firmware from TheStrix (Latest, kenzo) without fail, bricks the Redmi Note 3, only being able to get to FastBoot. I'm able to switch to EDL on the PC with that batch file that's floating about, and flash recovery through miflash. I've been on LineageOS14 for the past few weeks, but my phones been barely usable with lag. Switched to AOSPX the other day by first flashing the FW;
1. Reboot to recovery
2. Backups
3. Wipe everything except for sd
4. Flash FW
5. Flash AOSPEx
6. Flash Gapps
7. Clear Cache
8. Reboot
That was the first time, and brick... as described above, back to recovery- tried missing out GAPPS- same result..
I went through a few different combinaitons, so have gotten quite used to the EDL mode miFlash...
Back through EDL.. flash recovery.. JUST AOSPEx, booted fine. Setup, etc, back to recovery, GAPPS, reboot, setups, etc.All working good- Except no power button
So I once again went back to recovery and flashed just the FW (Fully expecting it might fail)- Sure enough.. BRICK... So just, I've gone back through the miFlash, installed recovery, but then just decided to try rebooting from recovery into my existing AOSPEx- All works fine- Even the power button now- Was that fixed by the FW? And the bigger thing I'm wondering, since everytime I've flashed the FW it's resulted in a brick-does that mean the FW's not working? When I re flash the recovery, am I back to original FW?
Am I now on the new FW?
Only other thing is I don't have root... I'll see if I can find a supersu to flash, I guess.
So tl;dr- I'm all up and working- but flashing the latest FW form TheStrix appears to brick the Note 3 every time. I can only get a rom to install by NOT first flashing the FW. Flashing the FW after a rom still bricks. And I don't know if it is actually flashed with the new fw after re-installing recovery.

It's because you haven't unlocked officially. TheStrix's firmware contains MM bootloader which relocks your bootloader if you're in LP bootloader(which is your bootloader if you've unlocked unofficially). If you've already unlocked officially then flash the latest MIUI dev ROM(which relocks your bootloader) then unlock again, TheStrix's firmware will now work.
Or you can just unzip the Firmware then remove emmc_appsboot.mbn(MM bootloader) then rezip it again. You'd still get problems flashing the latest LineageOS Roms if you don't update your bootloader though. So my advice is unlock officially.
Try This guide http://en.miui.com/thread-235865-1-1.html and this guide make a deep flash cable and download the latest fastboot rom and follow the first link http://en.miui.com/thread-380827-1-1.html
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
flash boot.img extracted from the rom.zip file after flashing rom via TWRP. When flashing finished, don't restart to System, select Restart to Bootloader then type below command.

Idk what's happening with you but I found this useful, while nobody had idea about this problem. You can try flashing older miui fastboot rom, like miui9/10 then perform a factory reset with miui default recovery.then try switching to other custom roms.Let me know the update.
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!

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.

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).
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.

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.

did you try to flash firmware file from twrp recovery first? also that error means that a checkpoint failed which you need to disable or remove in configuration settings.

did you tried recovery or fastboot flashing? and did you installed firmware first before installing full rom?

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.

i did the same, but looking to partitions of system, product and vendor, i understand that flashing the files via recovery and fastboot they dont write in that partitions.
looks like the partitions are read only. thanks
I try to flash a custom rom like arrows os via recovery , the rom shows the boot logo of arrows rom, and then bootloop.

Did you flash it from the built-in recovery or with MiFlash? (My 167 hour waiting period ends tomorrow)
Solved people. change the version of the Mi Flash.
