Fake Rom on a MiPad 4 from AliExpress - Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers

I recently bought a MiPad 4 from AliExpress and it keeps stopping me from flashing my rom with TWRP. The Bootloader seems to be enabled out of the box, but I cant get it to recognize after the fastboot screen. Anyone have a solution to this? I've seen a few people post that they had the issue and they solved it when some other users posted the link to the same MIUI forum thread but the link to that seems to be dead. So I currently have no leads to how to clear the fake ROM.
The developer setting for "Mi Unlock status" is missing and I also tapping the MIUI Version doesnt bring up settings like the stock rom should.
Seems to be sandboxed for some reason, when i get into fast boot it just goes to a black screen that says "press any key to shut down". And when i flash it with MiFlash, it errors, and I just end up rebooting the MiPad 4.

did you find any fix? I'm facing the same problem

It's not sandbox, it just doesn't work with Win 10 or usb 3.0. In my case I have to use my old win 7 laptop to unlock.

[HELP] Phone reboot every 5-10 seconds (Kenzo)

I encountered this problem about 2 weeks ago
I have flash every ROM (Official, MIUI based custom ROM, and AOSP) including in fastboot mode
and only CM12.1, CM13 and RR survived from random reboot
I won't use both CM13 and RR because its RIL
Now i used CM12, but I have super fast draining battery
My phone will die, even in standby, because Android OS and System used battery more than SOT
When I checked it, the CPU always stay awake and won't enter deep sleep, so my phone always went heating even in standby (screen turned off)
The only problem I would fix is the random reboot issue when I used MIUI and other Custom ROM I had mention above
This is driving me crazy. Does it hardware problem or something?
If not, how to fix fast draining battery from CM12.1?
Sorry for my bad english

If it's down to some ROMs being a WIP then perhaps the best option is to go back to stock?

Hi, i'm having the same issue as yours, have you try to send for repair? Xiaomi centre at my place refuse to repair it as mine from china set, any luck at your place?
Edit- mine was unlocked officially, don't think it related to this issue as it was working without any problem previously,the last thing i did before this happened was making a call in lte before it turned off suddenly, then heat up a lot and keep on rebooting,

I'm on aosp when this happened, maybe it is hardware related,
Will try to send it to repair shop nearby and hope they can do something about it, it's only a month and now it's completely unusable, maybe just a bad lemon unit

Should be hardware problem and there's nothing we could do i guess, there's a few people affected already.. problem with this model and we're the first.. so sad. Luckily my nexus 5 still going strong despite the screen shattered, even can see the circuit inside, showed the difference between brands quality.
Did someone with this problem can Instal CM13 ROM with fingerprint compatible?
because mine always stuck in Mi Logo and then can't enter TWRP until it re-unlocked and back to MIUI with Mi flash to able flash TWRP)
If not flash fastboot MIUI, the TWRP can't be installed even the phone have unlocked
WTH is going on with my phone

Try flashing global stable through MiFlash and tick the option flash all or equivalent.

Thanks Ivanlai,
What Exactly do you mean by your answer?
did you had this Problem on your Xiaomi Device?
had you manage succesfuly solving it?
my device is new and i dont want to do something that will harm the Warrenty.
I haven't had this situation exactly, but the reason I said to tick flash all is because I have bricked and bootlooped my device before.
By ticking the flash all option, it reduces the risk of some remnants of the previous ROM causing conflict.
Also, I tried several different global stable ROMs before I successfully unbricked my device.
As for warranty, I remember someone mentioning that a xiaomi customer service operator emailed them saying that rooting and flashing custom ROM would not void the warranty, but I would email them again on this issue just to make sure.

very strange what happening to my device.
reboots stopped (have no idea of what reason : recharge again from 5% battery, get into test mode (push 3 button for 10 sec': vol+, vol-, power).
but now other issue showed up : very lots of screen glitches, can use the phone like this, like some bad soldering inside.
first time i got into test mode, there were also screen glitches,
but now, whenever i get into test mode, downloading mode or the 3rd mode (with phone and cable picture), there is not glitchs at all,.
but after phone is starting - lots of screen glitches !!
i am lost
I also bought my Redmi 4 Prime from goldway store, do you know what is their return policy like?

Bootloader unlock never works, network issues with custom roms

Tried Global/China Stable/Developer fastboot roms but always stuck at 50%, it has been months since got permissions. So unlocked unofficially flashed custom roms but if i enter airplane mode then exit it i didnt get signal till i reboot, Found out cm13radios.zip flashing it solved airplane issue but now data connection keeps dissconnecting and reconnecting automatically. Miui has aux problem cant play songs using aux cable, even after i dissconnecting cable it still shows headphone icon in status bar -_-

Let me tell you. Go to " https://i.mi.com/ " first and log in with your mi account and see if it can find your phone. I was facing the same issue of getting stuck at 50% while unlocking and I tried this yesterday. From the site, a sms was sent to the registered phone number to verify device. After verification, I tried unlocking officially and it got unlocked!

Recommend dev rom/ beta rom and yes you can use your permission months back
I've unlocked the phone but of no use. Can't switch Rom, fast boot and recovery reboot are same as locked. Horrible. What's the use of unlocking with permission and so on?

What is the exact and complete error message when you attempt the unlocking process?
If you put your phone into flashboot mode and use ADB, do you get anything from the command "Fastboot devices"?
If you're getting "Account is different from the one on the device" then it's an account issue and can be solved on the i.mi website by making sure you only have one phone assigned to your account.
Y'all can check my post. Also follow the thread and you might get unlocked.

RN3P Kenzo - Lot of random reboots and app crashes - possible a hardware problem

Hello!
I recently bought a Snapdragon Redmi (kenzo), it came with a chinese version of MIUI and on the first setup it already started to show some problems: when I try to connect to my google account it suddently rebooted. After some tries and reboots and worked but on day by day usage I continue to have random reboots and apps crashing.
I already updated to other miui versions, CM13, CM14 and some others roms and kernels, flashed with diferent TWRP versions, in all of them I got the same problem.
I think it's also not related to hard usage, because the problem appear when I open what's app, facebook, a lot of times with swiftkey. And I can open some heavy games without problems.
Also, sometimes it reboot and get stuck on a bootloop, when this happen, a backup restore or dirty flash wont solve the bootloop and I always need to go on TWRP, do a factory reset and flash the rom again.
I think the explain it's a hardware defect...
There are any other thing I can try to solve it?
Try flashing fastboot ROM if you didnt yet

I already tried once with miui, but I can try again with other ROM. Which one do you sugest?
You can only flash MIUI fastboot ROM via MiFlash, not possible to flash other...it must be a hw problem if you encounter that on every ROM...
Try flashing the developer ROM. Or look for similar issues on MiUi forum. Those guys will surely help you out!
Hit Thanks if I Helped You!

Can't update Global Stable Rom?

Hi there
Girlfriend has a Redmi 3. Tried to unlock it moooonths ago but never got the code from Xiaomi (tried 2 times to do the proper process, no luck).
She was happy enough with the Global ROM, though, so just let it be.
Recently she's been complaining about a few things, and turns out her phone is still stuck on the 7.1.3.0.
Pressing "Check for Updates" has no result (the button grays out to "Checking..." but then goes back to normal). Just keeps showing "No updates available".
Tried the ROM from the official page (http://en.miui.com/download-298.html as far as I can see), and followed the Flashing guide (http://en.miui.com/a-232.html)
I go to "Choose update package", select the zip file, the screen changes to "Getting info..." and then just crashes to the launcher, nothing happens.
Anyone has any ideas on how to solve this and update her phone to the latest stable ROM?
(would love to just get it unlocked and install CM but nothing I can do without the Unlock code!)
Thanks for any help!

Dead touch screen after updating to Android 10 - xiaomi.eu rom

Hi
Today after installing the update to xiaomi.eu rom, Android 10, my touch screen just died. I tried flashing 3 various roms by MiFlash with no success. I am able to use fastboot, adb and install TRWP but no matter what I do the touchscreen is dead making the phone useless.
When I boot it up I get asked to unlock it by providing the password to my mi account, which previously worked, but currently I'm unable to use my phone.
Anybody had a similar issue? any way to fix it?
Did you choose clear all option when flashing from fastboot
Yes, with no result unfortunately.
Can you use the touchscreen while in TWRP/recovery mode? If you have a OTG cable you can connect a normal USB mouse to your phone and use that to navigate. Maybe it is just locking up at the password boot stage?
Try to flash it back to stock with stock recovery with a different build date preferably 9 and see if you can wipe it that way......
will try both ideas later today
SOLVED
I finally managed to get it back to life. It turned out that I must have damaged the touch drivers and flashing the phone by fastboot didn't help at all as the drivers are located on prevent partition (as I was told by someone)
So the thing I did was to flash a custom kernel with touch drivers. I used franco kernel kernels.franco-lnx.net. First I installed (using physical mouse) xiaomi eu android 9 rom, than I flashed the franco kernel for android 9. At that point the touch screen came back to life. Afterwards I was able to update to xiaomi eu android 10 rom with no problem.
Hope it can be helpful for anybody with similar problem.
