** Warning For Those Using Latest Global Beta's 10.x.x **
Problem I Encountered:
After this morning's update to the Weekly Global ROM 8.12.13 (through stock software updater), the update went just fine and i was using my phone most of the day. As you all know i have a China phone (no root, factory recovery) with the Global ROM (bootloader unlocked always). I decided to reboot the phone later on that day, it took forever to restart, and eventually restarted with the TOUCHSCREEN not working! I mean -like it was DEAD. I loaded up TWRP in fastboot, still was dead in recovery (and took forever to boot to). I factory reset (god i hated to do that), it was still dead! I downloaded the fastboot ROM from 8.12.7 beta and flashed all the partitions.... IT WAS STILL DEAD. I fastboot flashed the 10.0.2 Stable ROM... STILL DEAD. I even plugged in a USB-C dongle from Samsung to use my logitec wireless keyboard and mouse on my phone (which worked well) and setup to enter the CIT mode for diagnostics. There was no touch screen function / logging period. Bad news, i figured my Digitizer just went bad. I was converting my backup phone (old LG G2) to use, and also figured i'd put my Mi8 back to China Factory 9.6.7 (no rollback isn't enabled yet) before locking the bootloader back and getting it RMA'd. When the fastboot ROM flash of 9.6.7 (Oreo) finished and rebooted, to my amazement, my digitizer / screen is fully functional again! No more super slow booting either.
Conclusion:
They (Xiaomi) have something totally F***ed up in their new betas that randomly screws up firmware for the touchscreen. I'm still going to use them (i know ) because they are so much better now than before.
Soooo Many Xiaomi Questions:
What if my bootloader was locked and i couldn't have flashed back to the old MIUI ROM?
What if the Anti-Rollback actually WAS enabled and i couldn't have flashed back to the old MIUI ROM?
What the he** is in China 9.6.7 that fixed the issue that Global 10.x.x couldn't have? And WHY?
* At least we all have a solution for now..... But i hope that bug doesn't show up for anyone else....
Solution:
1.) Set you phone to Fastboot Mode (Reboot and hold down the volume-down button and power button)
2.) Connect your phone to your computer
3.) With your previously downloaded Fastboot image file of V9.6.7 China ROM, enter your choice of command
-- The command with "Flash all partitions" is recommended. ** Do Not Choose To Re-Lock Bootloader **
4.) When it finishes and reboots, your touchscreen will be functional again!
/.
boot your phone and use mouse using otg.
and try to use camera den try to vibrate...
if working... i think that is digitizer if not...
u need to flash the one partition for sensor ?
Bull****.

Obviously this.
OP somehow managed to delete parts of the persist partition..or some freak accident or defective device.
I had the same experience. My device is global version, but I imported it and since I don't have un authorisation Mi store to rely on I just flashed oreo based rom with mi flash tool without knowing if ARB will trigger because I had nothing to lose. The digitizer turned on and out of curiosity I flashed 8.12.13 with the flash tool. It is working fine but for now I won't trust the updater app.

@Agimax Can confirm the issue. Faced the same problem. Followed your procedure and everything is up and running. I wonder what Xiaomi screwed up this time. Thanks a ton for the guide, was really worried for a while!
Mhm...wouldn't have thought.
Possibly something going wrong with Oreo>Pie upgrade on china devices running global roms ?
9.6.7 was the last stable release one can downgrade to on global devices and use to upgrade to pie based global beta.
I really wonder what is missing in Pie vs Oreo that the digitizer needs. I'm just worried in the future when anti-rollback is truly enabled we won't have a way to fix the issue until we find the missing/corrupted driver or file problem. Pie flashed from fastboot with all partitions should fix any issue, with files -but doesn't. That's a real problem and means they omitted something critical.
Touch Screen out of use!
Touch Screen out of use!
Same thing happened to me too. Simply after a reboot, as if the phone was initialized after the first installation (very strange) and just started, the touch no longer works.

I had same problem, from version xiaomi.eu 8.12.13...
This manual from Agimax is excellent !!! Helped me.
Many thanks.
@Agimax
hello, I have the same problem, I was in the Xiaomi eu version 8.12.7 and all good, update to version 8.12.13 and it was all good, restart the mobile and the touch stopped working, everything you mention makes, go down to another beta version, in twrp it does not work either and just take the mouse. You can tell me how to do the process, he was in the stable global version 10.0.3.0 (oeamifh) how he made this installation, it is not clear to me the antirollback, I only have the bootloader unlocked and a backup of that version through TWRP, but I'm afraid that going back to Oreo while standing generates a brick. Please your help indicating me step by step and things to keep in mind

If you read the whole paragraph of my issue, i explained the downgrade on my China phone to 9.6.7 with the Fastboot mode ROM method worked when the others didn't:
So download the china ROM 9.6.7, reboot to fastboot mode, flash the rom from your computer in fastboot, then reboot.
From OP:
"When the fastboot ROM flash of 9.6.7 (Oreo) finished and rebooted, to my amazement, my digitizer / screen is fully functional again! No more super slow booting either."

@Agimax

Sometimes i wonder why i maintain all these threads to help users......
For some reason it's especially bad with xiaomi devices. The miui forums are horrendous.
Maybe it's the user base, they are are mostly sold in Asia and India..

In my case I have read the post several times, only that I have some doubts and the truth is that I am new to the Xiaomi scene.
* I must install the Chinese version if or if or also can the global one?
* Should it be Fastboot if or if or MiFlash?
* I must install something else to avoid brick by downgrade or something from the antirollback since as you say it is not activated, it is for all devices.
I hope you understand me and before I thank you for your help, since I am desperate because I thought I would lose my cell phone.

Hi guys, I got a big problem with my redmi note 4x qualcomm.
Yesterday randomly wifi, bluetooth and hotspot stopped working. I can activate them but no devices is recognized and my redmi is not recognized by others, so I guess they stopped working.
I reset the miui but nothing so I installed twrp and Pixel experience but still no response from wifi, etc.
Now I was about to follow this guide ° https://forum.xda-developers.com/re.../tutorial-fix-sensors-wifi-bluetooth-t3823622 ° but i don't know if it will work for the redmi note 4 because it's suited for note 5.
Can you please help me somehow?
Sorry for my english
If you did a complete factory reset including data and you still have the problem it's probably time to talk with Xiaomi as it could be hardware. Have you tried running some of the Apps that test and / or recognize hardware in the phone? Before this problem came up did you root or install TWRP?

I didn't root or installed twrp before the problem showed up, I guess it's an hardware problem. Thanks for the reply, all the "supernerdmasterdivinegenius-members" ignored me apparently.
Sorry for my english, but I need help. I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 since May 2018 and since then i had the pixel experience mod on (the one with android oreo 8.1). Everything went good until yesterday my phone resets randomly and goes in bootloop with the google logo. So, i made a backup of my things and i did a factory reset with twrp, but apparently, wifi connection, bluetooth, sim card, volume and fingerprint scanner stopped working. I restored my backup but nothing changed, i even flashed a new mod, the newer pixel experience, the one with android 9, but i just messed up everything and now twrp doesn't work anymore as if i try to open it, it gives me the error "the device has been destroyed" or something like that. Even worse, my PCs won't read my phone anymore.
Summary: I'm stuck with Android 9 in the "welcome-fase" (?) because to begin use it i must connect to internet, and i can't do it in any way.
Sorry for my english. I hope someone could help me. Thanks.
Just few days after installing miui 12, got this problem. The phone is stuck on a boot loop. If I pattern unlock the phone, I get a toast saying "find device stopped unexpectedly". Unfortunately, I don't have a backup. :crying:
Is there any way to save my phone? or may be get a backup?
I too experienced the same bug, i went to the official service centre to fix the issue. They reflashed the os but the same issue kept arising again and again after a day or two, the service center guys had no clue what's going on. At last I decided to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom rom. Now am using RR without any issue.

yeah, I am also in the same track but I am unable to make MiFlash Unlock tool to recognize my phone in fastboot mode. Adb does recognize, Mi PC Suite recognizes it but says phone software has to be updated. (Using latest MIUI 12).
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Use an Intel pc. Amd has issues with mi flash unlock too l. Run as admin. Turn off all anti virus/ firewall applications.
Having the exact same issue on my POCO F1, recently updated to MIUI 12. It was working pretty well up until 10 mins ago.
Battery went under 5% and the device went into ultra power saving mode, then restarted. Now every time I unlock the pattern, the toast pops up "Find my device..." and it goes into bootloop.
Now there isn't even a pop up, device immediately goes into bootloop.
bro, i just now facing this.. can you help me out
Well, MIUI 12 is not going good in poco F1.
If anyone who has not updated to MIUI 12, don't update the phone. Currently there are many bugs in the update
Long story short -
Some are unable to boot up the phone, some stuck in bootloop, some unable to use their passwords, some unable to set up new password, Second space not working, etc etc ...
I also updated to MIUI 12 and was unaware of the bugs.
But the device booted up and password (both fingerprint and face unlock) was working fine but I was unable to change it. Second space was working too. So I was happy that there is not much issue.
But then come the buggy part.
I started playing COD m after update and battery drained like hell 100 to 30 in 1.5 hour. I was shocked by this.
After charging I started to play again but this time (with battery issue) screen freezing happened and then happened at regular intervals. So the gaming experience on MIUI 12 was ruined.
Then I just find MIUI 9 for it and flashed it. (Ya, factory reset in this process too ?) But it is working fine now. Got fast charging module and custom thermal for gaming and it worked.
Currently no issue at all.
But I am still finding a custom kernel for poco F1 to overclock cpu and GPU (not able to find any till now).
Nearly every kernel is ment for MIUI 11 and 10 only. So I am digging deep for now to find a kernel for MIUI 9.
At last just one message - Don't update untill mi release a stable and bug free MIUI 12 version.
If MIUI 12 is working fine on your poco F1, either you are lucky or you have not encountered a bug till yet.
Without data loss, is this method come back to normal as before for poco f1 mobile?

If you don't want to loose your data, try flashing the rom using mi flash tool. But nothing can guarantee data security. You should back up your data regularly, waiting for a mishap or trusting on a single electronic device is just foolish, do make multiple copies of important data, if you want it to be secure.
I also have this problem. Updated my POCO F1 to miui 12 and it is in bootloop all the time. The bootloader is locked but I cannot unlock it now with no access to the device. How can I flash again a lower version?
If I don't mind losing the data how can I go back to previous version?
No brother, I encountered the same issues you mentioned. I stuck with MIUI logo loop after that I did a hard reset to mobile phone working condition.
So I am having weird issues with this goddamn old phone. My intention was to root it and then work from there, I flashed this ROM. It worked fine for a while, but recently I tried to use the GPS and the phone simply started a reboot cycle that never ends. I wiped the cache, reboot it... and it didn't worked. And then a even more bizarre situation happened: I wiped everything (literally, only the SD card remained intact for flashing purposes), flashed this ROM, it booted, I selected the language, wi-fi, google account, create a PIN, etc.. the usual. But then 5 minutes later, the phone started the reboot cycle again, wtf? That's it, the phone is gone? If I am fast enough to turn on the "airplane mode", the phone stops rebooting, but as soon as I toggle it off, here it comes the damn rebooting again
I'm having the exact same issue on my Nikel. Today was my third wipe to get it working. I've read somewhere (can't find the source now) that it's allegedly related to a google play update that messes up some gps-related libraries and can cause bootloops on android 6 devices. For me it started on 24th February - I woke up to the phone already in the loop. Maybe blocking the update or manual removal can fix this issue. I'll try to find more info and will post if I figure something out.
Also, it wasn't flashed or even unlocked when it happened for the first 2 times.

That's so weird... I just bought a refurbished Redmi Note 8 Pro to substitute this cursed nikel, it's a damn shame how this version is not popular, meanwhile the snapdragon variant is receiving customized android 12 roms as we type these comments, nikel is abandoned smh I will try that "fix" you linked, related to the google services... see if that can fix the infinite reboot. I assume the google maps will not work? Who knows, these bugs are just annoying

And it didn't worked, the phone entered on a bootloop again, I had to quick turn the GPS off and that stopped rebooting. Such a weird bug... the curious thing about it is how the phone was working fine with the locked bootloader, the "original" MIUI, etc After rooting the phone, I tried the few custom roms we have here on XDA and I never used the GPS that much, so I didn't noticed the bug immediately. Tried to flash the MIUI again, the GPS problem remained. I was even willing to lock the bootloader again, attempted to flash MIUI through Miflash and it didn't worked. So I am stuck with a rooted phone (that is working pretty well, all things considered) but with no GPS
Right now the phone is working fine for me, so does the GPS. However, if google services ask me whether I want to increase navigation accuracy with google location service (I don't remember the exact popup text, I'm using a Polish version), and I click agree, everything goes to hell. I've been able to avoid agreeing to google location service until now, but it tries to trap me 3-4 times a day. I just know that it will pop up right under my thumb when I'm trying to tap something else, and it will be factory reset time all over again.
Hi I am in the same boat Note 4 nikel, when I turn on GPS, bootloop is happening.
Has anyone found a solution today?
So i find this link for Redmi Note 4 in
Firmware Redmi Note 4 MTK Untuk Yang Bootloop, Restart Terus Dan Bisa Buka Gps Akurasi Tinggi, Gojek Dan google Map
Download firmware redmi note 4 mtk miui 10, nikel atau 4x ini file khusus untuk hape yang bootlop bandel dan restart terus menerus

I've installed it using spflashtool .. It worked for high accuracy navigation .. It only in english and chineese ..
