- Kies (You need this package from Sammy to install Mobile driver for you)
- Stock Rom by your choice
2. Make your phone into download mode by press and hold "Volume Down + Home + Power" until you see screen with yellow sign (Don't panic this is not legendary flash counter sign )

so u did root. u unlocked bootloader. u flashed a recovery and u installed a new rom. one day u start "digging" things to see if u can delete all the unwanted files so u make the phone faster and accidentally u deleted an important file and now it cant boot and it cant go into recovery. you are wondering what you CAN do now ! The answer is : Everything !
You can either go back to stock rom or
you can re-flash the recovery and then reinstall the rom.
1. Download the platform tools for your machine ( windows , linux or mac-os ). Here i have the adb fastboot for you.
2. Copy the recovery image to a location on your computer thats easier for you. The recovery image should have .img extension. If it is in a zip file, extract the .img file from it before proceeding.
3. Connect the phone to the pc and open cmd inside the fastboot folder you downloaded ( windows ). The others not on windows must use cd [path to their desktop,inside the platform tools where they see the adb file].
** If you are on a boot loop but the pc gets to recognize the phone even for a second then
4. Type
i) adb reboot-bootloader
ii) fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ( the command is: fastboot flash recovery [recovery image path/filename] )
5. When its done , reboot. Hold Volume down and power button to see if u get in recovery mode. :highfive:
Install the rom now the way you already know. There are many guides for that so i won't make a new.
cheers :good:
**Windows users can use this fastboot to unlock bootloader too. Lite fastboot commands guide provided here
**Linux users don't even need to download it , they can just directly download it from their terminal
I hope this thread helps a little those that dont know what to do when they delete an important file. *Pictures coming soon*

Steps:-
1.Download and install Mi Flash Tool on your PC from HERE.
2.Download the full Fastboot Miui Rom for Mi 3 or Mi 4 From HERE and save the file on your desktop.
3. Extract the ROM File on your C:/ Drive (Don’t extract the folder on your desktop)
4.Run MI flash tool on your desktop, the same file that you downloaded in the above step.
5.From the tool click on the ‘Browse’ button and select the image folder of the ROM file that you extracted on the C:/ drive.
6.Click on ‘Browse’ option again and Advance and Choose the “Fastboot script” from the extracted ROM folder.
Choose the script carefully as per your need:-
1.flash_all.bat: clears all the data of the built-in storage, clear all user data, please be careful!
2.flash_all_except_storage.bat:
will erase all user data does not clear the built-in storage data.
3.flash_all_except_data_storage.bat:
does not clear the built-in storage data does not clear user data
(I would recommended using the flash_all_except_storage.bat since this will wipe and flash everything but the virtual sdcard.)
7. After this, Turn off the phone, press the Volume down key and the Power button at the same time to enter Fastboot mode, then connect the phone to your pc.
8. Now click on the ‘Refresh’ button and you will see the device on the tool list.

To downgrade to KitKat, download the following file to your PC and extract with 7zip or WinRar: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952608110
Boot your phone into download mode. This is done by powering the phone off, then holding down vol- and power at the same time. Connect the phone to PC with USB. You have to flash all four files with Odin as shown in the following image:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Please be aware that this process will erase any settings, data, and media saved to your phone's internal storage and restore it to its original factory condition, now on KitKat. This process also takes a long time (at least 5 or 10 minutes) and will cause your phone to reboot on its own, and to boot into stock recovery at least once. It is important you leave your phone alone while it is doing so, and definitely do not disconnect it until it boots into the KitKat setup wizard screen.
To apply the security patch, you will now have to flash two files in stock recovery (vol+ and power). First download and extract this file: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=96042739161891196 it should be named 2400258.cfg. You need to rename it update.zip (yes, this involves changing the file type) and save update.zip to your external SD card (it will not work if it's on internal storage).
Finally, you need to download this file to your external storage and flash in stock recovery: https://www.androidfilehost.com/user/?w=settings-dev-files&flid=37222 Please note this file has already been renamed update.zip. They must both be named update.zip for them to work; since this can be potentially confusing I'd advise you to either save them to different folders, or delete the first one after you're done with it.
Follow these steps and you'll be back on KitKat, with that all important security patch. Good luck :good:
my device is locked in fastboot after flashing gsi, i tried all but nothing, so i locked the bootloader, i know i'm dumb but i was and i am desperate, solutions? idk if there is still a rom in because it was empty and i tried the fastboot method to reflash rom like flash boot.img and vbmeta.img and others (nothing changed).
UPDATE, i unlocked the bootloader but the problem is still here, i tried to flash rom with fastboot but it fails with system and vendor, i think that's the problem.
logs? photos? how you flashed? what you flashed?
Supposing your bootloader is unlocked, just follow this guide taken from this Mi official page.
Method 2: Fastboot Update
Note
A Windows PC/laptop will be needed for the following steps. Make sure that your device is fully charged or has enough power for this process. This guide will help you update your device to the latest MIUI ROM version. All user data will be purged in this process. Please back up your data and think twice before proceeding.
STEP 1
Download MIUI ROM Flashing Tool (Size: 66.7 MB)
STEP 2
Select the right MIUI ROM version for your phone:
★ Redmi Note 11 [spes] Global
★ Redmi Note 11 NFC [spesn] Global
★ Redmi Note 11 NFC [spesn] Europe
★ Redmi Note 11 NFC [spesn] Russia
STEP 3
Turn off the device. Press the Volume– key and the Power button at the same time to enter Fastboot mode. Then connect the device to the Windows PC/laptop via a USB cable
STEP 4
Double click on the downloaded ROM file to decompress it. Open the file folder for the decompressed ROM pack, and copy its path on the computer.
STEP 5
Decompress the MIUI ROM flashing tool downloaded in Step 1, and double click on it to install (if there is security warning, select 'Run'). After installation is completed, open MiFlash.exe and paste into the address bar the ROM file folder path copied in the last step.
Click on the first button (circled out in yellow) to Refresh, and MiFlash should automatically recognize the device. Then click the second button (circled out in red) to flash the ROM file to the device.

STEP 6
Wait until the progress bar inside MiFlash turns fully green, which means the ROM has been successfully installed. Then your device should automatically boot to the new version.
If the flashing guide could not help you, please download Mi PC Suite here (after Mi PC Suite is installed, make sure that your phone is in fastboot mode, connect your phone to a computer, and select the correct ROM file to flash).
I finally solved, i unlocked bootloader again with mi unlock and i followed this instructions, thx
