Wipe Dalvik/ART, Cache, System, Data as before every rom install, if that doesn't work you will have to flash boot.img but don't do this with the restore method in twrp, only use the install button.

Glad you work it out. Don't know about your phone but what i heard is in order to flash A13 rom you have to flash original A11 firmware on your phone.
Have a nice one!

Why don't you use a different odin version may be much older one or newer one and by the way did u download the right firmware from the right source? Verify whatever I mentioned and give it a try with older odin,or simply follow some YouTube video! Thank me if I had helped you!

Try going back to ext4 format instead of f2fs.
If that doesn't work, try flashing stock via Odin then start over with the guide, I believe there is an updated way to upgrade that has the rePIT built in, try finding it and use that guide.

Hi,
I was installing the lIneage OS 14.1 Mocha and I came across a strange problem. The TWRP and TWRP img installed well, but when I wiped Cache and system and tried to install the Lineage os 14.1 rom, it failed and I was left with a MiPad without an OS. I guess it failed because I did not partition the system before I installed the Rom.
The tablet is turned off and I am not sure hot to get to the recovery of what to do to install a ROM. Could someone please help me with what to do next
Hold Vol up + power button till you see the Mi screen to get to recovery. Go to http://en.miui.com/download-229.html and download Xiaomi's official stock ROM.

Sorry, I've no clue what the issue is. I noticed that the ROM seems to be on the external SD, maybe try putting it on the internal might fix it? Or maybe or can try to flash mocha_repartition_stock, wipe, and then flash the stock ROM?

Maybe you can try flashing/re-flashing the partition scripts? Or try flashing http://en.miui.com/thread-328108-1-1.html instead, it's a slightly more up to date version of the ROM.

Thanks it worked. The file i downloaded from the miui forum seems to be the problem. I flashed your zip and it succeeded and then i flashed the stock rom and everything worked. Really thanks. Plus the partitions are now merged Thanks again.

Hi,
I'm struck on MI logo. I'm on TWRP 3.1.1-0. I've installed miui_MIPADGlobal_V7.3.1.0.KXFMIDD_0d8dcf2bc3_4.4.zip, AOSPExt ROM, AICP, RR ROM but every time it struck on MI logo. All the ROMs are flashed smoothly without any error. I waited for some 30 min but nothing happened. I tried flashing via MIflashtool using flashboot rom but in MIFlash tool it showed 'error: Mismatching image and device'.
Please guide me.

Did you flash stock miui_MIPADGlobal_V7.3.1.0.KXFMIDD_0d8dcf2bc3_4.4.zip using TWRP 2.8.4?
11. Your Mi Pad now boots into TWRP 2.8.4
12. In TWRP select ‘Wipe’ and choose ‘Cache, Data, System and Dalvik Cache’
13. After wiping, press ‘Install’ and flash the ‘Repartition_MI_Pad_1_2GB_zardMi3.zip’
14. Your Mi Pad boots back into TWRP as no OS is installed
15. Install miui_MIPADGlobal_V7.3.1.0.KXFMIDD_0d8dcf2bc3_4.4.z ip (there will be an error, just ignore it and let it finish). Reboot. Wait 5-10 minutes. The MIUI welcome screen will appear, complete the setup.
16. Install DiskInfo from Play Store to confirm your repartitioning was successful.

Thanks. But the problem remains the same. It again struck on MI logo even after flashing through TWRP 2.8.4.
i too have same problem dont know what to do...i tried flashing through fastboot also even that didnt help..
Hello guys, I need a little help here, my MIUI version is out of date so I decided to try other ROMs and I picked HavocOS.
I wiped data, cache and dalvik using the latest TWRP and then installed HavocOS and OpenGApps, after a few second after rebooting, it gave me an error "Decryption Unsuccessful".
I tried to first flash the latest firmware for Kenzo and then second flash HavocOS but I got no luck. I also tried to disable passwords on MIUI but didnt work
So, would the only solution with this problem is to reformat the internal storage and change the partition type? Thanks

Format data is only option if u want to move from miui to custom roms. Custom roms cant decrypt it.
Ok, so this is what you have to do:
Go back to TRWP, wipe: data, cache, system (!!!), dalvik, than back to main menu and "wipe", tap "format data" button in the bottom right. A prompt will appear, type "Yes"
Now you can flash Havoc, and anything else you want and it will work.
Make a backup before everything you need from internal storage.
Hey everybody,
I was on LOS 15.1 for a rather long time and I wanted to try RR, so as usual I backed up my system and tried to flash the RR-rom.
It did not work at all and I got several errors among which error 7 and the unability to mount system partition were the most prominent.
The device got bricked several times but I got it back to life with MiFlashTool, running either MIUI 8.5 or MIUI 9.
The strange thing is that even after flashing the MIUI-img - and basically bringing the device back to its factory firmware - I could not flash a rom.
I tried several recoverys; the latest TWRP, the TWRP linked in the LOS15.1 thread and OrangeFoxRecovery. None of them would work. I wiped all partition, nothing worked. I got different errors shown, most of them were error 7 or not being ablke to mount system, as stated before.
Right now I am back to MIUI and rooted it, which worked from OrangeFox, but I actually would like tzo run a custom rom again.
Any idea what I could do?
Cheers!
Noone who has an idea why it would not work?
I thought that after flashing via Flashtool the phone would be as good as new and all prioir changes would be gone? Wha can I not flash anything via recovery and get erros?
Or are there different versions of Orange Fox Recovery? RR would be treble, so I would need a treble recovery.
Cheers!
Have you tried to format internal storage?
If not backup data in sdcard or pc and format it using recovery.
Are you using trble supported recoveries?
Did you encrypted your data while using Lineage OS?
Hey,
well, yes, I encrypted data but since reinstalling MIUI via Flashtool this is gone. And I thought that this should be enough and reflashing it via MiFlash is like a factory reset? Is there anything I did not consider?
After Flashtool did not do the trick, wiped everything but External memory in TWRP, no kelp either.
I also did the normal wipe (where you dont have to choose which partition), this did not help.
As I said, I am currently on the latest OrangeFox Recovery but I also tried the latest TWRP and the TWRP in the LOS 15.1-Thread, which did not help.
To my knowledge all of the are treble recoverys?
I also tried to restore a vackup of LOS which did not work...
I flashed

When you reply quote, I didn't get notifications for your reply.
Your bootloader is unlocked and you installed Twrp recovery.
Try copying Rom zip to SD card and wipe system, data, cache, dalviks cache, internal storage (exclude sd card off course). Then install it.
It should work
As I said, I did all of this, yet it does not work.
After wiping I tried to flash RR rom...
I get "Patching system image unconditionally...
Then I get E1001: Failed to update system image. (in white)
Updater process ended with: ERROR 7 (in red)
Error installing zip file 'patch...' (in red)
Updating partition details (in white)
Failed to mount '/system' (Invalid Argument) (in red).
As I said, that happens with different recoverys and different roms (treble and non treble)

Are you sure the Rom you installating is for your device because error 7 occured if the rom you are trying install is not for your device.
Yes, of course, it was the correct ROM. Before error 7 I got error 1001 and I guess this was the initial problem.
My guess it that the problem was the decrypted partition which I did not format in twrp in my first go. Every wipe and format afterwards somehow did not help...
Now after having flashed recovery and different roms 10 times and using miflash 10 times it worked and now I am on RR. Don't ask me what eventually did the trick.

Great to know
I hated MIUI because of the bloatware and ads. Have fun using RR. If you want you can use Liquid Remix Pie its a great ROM.
Yes. I also did not like MIUI that much, that's why I was using Lineage before I wanted to try RR: Thanks for the advice for anothe rom.
i fix this issue by format data, not only wipe then restart the recovery and install the ROM, then finally it works !

If I format data, then I have to reboot into the recovery menu to be able to use data again. But this is impossible, because it gets stuck into the bootloop every time I try to reboot. Any other option to fix this error?
EDIT:
I could fix it myself:
1. MIUI latest version; flash with MiFlash.
2. flash TWRP with e.g. YUware
3. flash latest fw_vendor in TWRP
4. full update pixel expierence (NOT incremental) rom flash
5. Partitions/Data/Format
6. Reboot and ready to use
