Hi Community,
I'm a little bit "scared" to ask for the following, but I have read a lot about it and I'm just getting more confused, so I hope someone can bring clarity.
Situation looks like this: I will unpack my Mi Mix 256gb EU-version this evening and I want to put Resurection Remix on it. Now, what steps do I need to follow to get this done? I know the steps of each process is written in the related post, but how does it play together?
I understood that I need TWRP (to add and remove roms, right?) and then install the rom on top of it. Also, is it then rooted? flashed? unlocked? If I would want the original software on it again, is it possible to install it without leaving marks of the rom?
What confuses me also is, that I somehow have to unlock something through the xiaomi page and wait a few days?
Thank you in advance and best regards from Switzerland!

Dont forget to decrypt your phone after you unlock your bootloader.
First you have to unlock your bootloader in order to flash recovery or fastboot rom. I will add all the links you need in order , so that you can access them fast and without problems.
For unlocking your bootloader first login into your Mi Account on your Mix , after this is done , go to unlock site (en.miui.com/unlock) and apply for unlock permissions ( Remember to use the same account you logged into your device if not you won´t be able to unlock it).Remember too to enable Developer Settings and allow Usb Debugging.
Afer this is done download and find this on google (xda adb drivers) and if you have windows its super -easy to set it up ( Remember to execute the batch file with admin privileges)
Once this is done if you still have adb problems just google and install universal adb driver, I will give you all the links at the end.
After all this and you have received approbation from Xiaomi to unlock and got the code , just plug-in your phone to your computer and enter fastboot mode ( Volume down+power buttons at the same time).
Open Mi Unlock program and enter the same account you used for unlock permissions and your device. After this is done wait for the unlock process to finish and click reboot.
Once you have rebooted your device download twrp , put it into adb folder (C://Adb) and with your device plugged-in type next : adb fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (or the name of your twrp.img , or just change it to twrp).
If you followed all the steps you should have twrp working and ready to flash any rom without problems. If you need more help just answer or send pm . Good luck and happy flashing.

Hey Thanks for the quick reply. I think this will help alot. So far I'm stuck at the first stage :silly: Did not receive an SMS even after 10 minutes. With the second click I received it but my IP is now blocked. Starts good
I can't even get it to reboot into recovery, it now freezes at the screen that prompts you to go to pcsuite!

Do you mean fastboot, have you installed a recovery? We don't know how far you have got. Power and vol- for fastboot. When mi logo appears let go of power button but keep vol- pressed till you see fastboot screen.

doesn't work, I had to go this route:
http://en.miui.com/thread-500625-1-1.html
and to threadstarter: if you are not in China, you don't have to do the unlock request. If you're on EU rom already, you're unlocked. Just use the thread I posted, it is much, much easier.
You have to use the version in the thread I linked (official MIUI forum) or you'll get a TWRP where the touchscreen doesn't work and you can't confirm

Things have changed, most people did this a year ago when there was no EU ROM, just China ROM and vendor ROM, most came with bootloader unlocked, which is the first thing you should of checked. The fact you have EU ROM would normally mean that bootloader has been unlocked but sometimes they re-lock the device.

Yeah... so that's what I meant. Even more confused now. My phone is definitely locked (checked with bootloader) and after I tried to apply again after 24 hours the weird chinese message pops up again and the application fails.

Assuming you have your pc set up which is the guides section.

Factory reset? It can't be broken, careful you don't kill it completely. Did you use the correct tool from miui.eu?

Just a quick follow up:
I waited 59 hours and now I could successfully unlock the phone. Will proceed now with TWRP. Yey.

Hey everyone I'm looking here as my last resort before sending my phone back to Motorola.
Bought a Nexus 6 from motorola uk which was delivered yesterday, switched phone on and all the Google apps on the phone updated, then had a notification OTA to download and install android 5.1 which I did, towards the end of the install process I had an error with the green android and a red exclamation mark.
I powered the device off with the power button and it turned back on and ever since it says "Android is starting" "Optimizing app 1 of 125" once it goes through all the apps it gets to the android boot screen then just goes back to the "Android is starting" "Optimizing app 1 of 125" over and over and over. (Infinite bootloop)
Pointers: The phone is not unlocked or rooted as I'm a noob its just fresh out the box, also I never opened/unlocked the developer options.
I have tried various recovery mode fixes, wiping cache and wiping all data and then rebooting the device with no luck.
Is there anyway I can hook my N6 up to my computer and fix this with a tool kit etc? I'm willing to try but I'd need basic instructions and reassurance it wouldn't muck up my warranty if it didn't work as my only other option is to exchange for a new device.
Any help, advice etc would be hugely appreciated. Thanks

Read the guide on how to fastboot flash a factory image. No toolkit necessary.
Would you mind posting a link to a guide? I forgot to add that I don't want my phone to become rooted by trying to fix this issue, I want to keep it stock like it was, also does not have developer options enabled stop me from going further.
Sorry for the questions I'm a noob to this and quite anxious.

I've made the fastboot adb folder on my PC and attached my phone whilst it was in bootloader mode, I types in the command box adb devices and there is no list of attached devices.
I presume this is because I didn't enable developer options or USB debugging?

When in bootloader mode type : fastboot devices
-Edit- just read that your bootloade is still locked so i`am afraid there is nothing you can do to fix the issue as you cannot flash firmware with a locked bootloader. Best is to claim warranty because of a software issue while updating.

Thought this would be the case, I went into adb fastboot and typed in fastboot devices and its showing some letters and numbers next to fastboot on screen if that helps.
In the future I presume I should make sure to enable developer options first so I can get out if this mess?
Also would it be best when I get my new n6 just to sideload the latest update marsmellow by getting the factory image from the Google website? Last question can I skip from 5.0 straight to 6.0 sideloading or do I have tobdo it one at a time?
Thanks for trying to help matey

Next time enable usb debugging and ENABLE OEM UNLOCK, both in developer options. You can flash the latest firmware available directly in fastboot by flashing the individual img files.

It says this on my Nexus 6 phone screen.
Unlock bootloader?
If you unlock the bootloader, you will be able to install custom operating system on this phone.
A custom OS is not subject to the same testing as the original OS, and can cause your phone and installed applications to stop working properly.
To prevent unauthorized access to your personal data, unlocking the bootloader will also delete all personal data from your phone (a "factory data reset".)
Press the volume up/down buttons to select yes or no. Then press power button to continue.
Yes (Unlock bootloader, may void warranty)
No. ( Do not unlock bootloader and restart phone)

Sure, but first we have to get the phone working again,
Hi everyone,i have purchased xiaomi mi5 from AliExpress and i told the seller to not open the box,and thats what he did,he didnt open the box,so the phone came with stock Chinese stable miui 7.something,and when i updated,it updated directly to miui 8.1,no updated in between, straight to miui 8.1,but i want to install the global stable rom,the bootloader is locked,i have requested to unlock it but so far no news,i tried to boot in edl mode by holding the vol up,vol down and power and cable in at the same time and it boots in some mode but idk if its edl,as far as i know edl mode is with black screen with "Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008" on the pc com ports,but in my case there is no such thing,and there is black and white phone with usb connect on the phone screen,but nothing on the pc,do i have problems with drivers or i dont enter edl at all ? and do any of you guys now any other method to install the global rom except the other one with the engineering cable ?, I really need your help guys please help me if you can,thank you in advance and have a great day
I've successfully updated my mi5 to global stable using the updater app even my bootloader is locked..however, when I got my mi5 2weeks it's on miui 8 global beta(dev rom) not chinese. Not sure if it will work on your device. Here's what I did:
1. Download global stable from xiaomi's official page
2. Reset the phone. (Settings > Additional settings > Back up & reset)
3. Transfer the zip file to phone (doesn't matter which directory)
4. Connect to a strong internet connection (this is important to verify the update package)
5. Open updater app, tap menu (upper right corner) then tap choose update package
6. Locate zip file and it will proceed with decryption process
Note: You need to be connected to a strong internet connection all through out the process or the verification and decryption will fail and get "can't verify update" error
Hope this helps. ?

I will try first what you tell me,if that doesn't work than i will try installing global beta if that works than global stable,thank you very much
No i didnt work with both beta and stable,now i will try to flash Chinese beta and after that i will try to install global beta or stable,i hope that works because i am out of ideas.
Screenshots:
Nope,nothing it didnt work unable to install global rom stable or beta,looks like i will wait for the bootloader unlock if any message comes at all i just hope they will let me unlock it,they definitely need to change the way bootloader is unlocked.
Coz you'r phone still has miui 7 (don't know in miui 8 coz never try it)..so i think you can try go into edl mode by adb command while in home screen.. "adb reboot edl" (don't forget to activate usb debugging in developer option first)

You don't need cutting you original cable..you can buy it like this one in aliexpress here , this already has converter too for usb type C
Sorry..i don't realize that fastboot oem edl just for unlocked bootloader..coz mine already unlocked, but i have some another way before you using deep flash cable to go into edl mode..but i can't testing it..coz mine already unlocked.
- I've read your first post about using hardware key to go into edl mode by pressing and hold vol up + vol down +(you said you're pressing power too, i think in this step you're wrong) then connect the usb cable..what i know..the right instruction is , pressing and hold vol up and down at the same time (without pressing power button)..then connect it via usb cable to your pc..then you can see in your device manager that success detecting as qualcom or not.
- In xiaomi redmi note 3 device you can go into edl mode through fastboot mode with command "fastboot reboot-edl", but this command only can apply with minimal adb that are already modified, you can download it from here
Are you sure @vlatko98 that your request to open bootloader is not granted? I made the request, waited for SMS for two weeks but nothing... So i navigated again to en.miui.com/unlock, logged in and I was able to download the mi unlock app. And the unlocking process was successfull.
If you havent, check if you can download unlock app and try to unlock your device with it.
How long ago have you made your request for unlock?

Sorry i didnt mention that i have tried with the vol buttons only as well,it didnt work,the phone boot up to recovery,same as holding the power button,soon i am trying with costume deep flash cable,there is no need to cut anything just to shourt ground and data from the usb connector that connects to the pc,i just dont understand why xiaomi if it plans to make global rom why not make it simple to change it,why users have to figure things out,we buy a phone to use it not to experiment with it,you hear me xiaomi ?
btw thx for helping me out.

If you already received sms that unlock already granted from xiaomi..there's another problem that sometimes your account not already correctly sync with xiaomi server..even already sync correctly still can't unlock flawlessly..
You can try following step and trying to unlock again and again..but just this time..just trying every day..if this day doesn't success too you can try it again tomorrow.
To make sure and minimize that everything is correctly:
- Make sure you're already at the latest china developer / beta rom..
- Enabling find device status at mi cloud in your phone..also just try login at i.mi.com (just this time try login with your acct number id) and activate find device too to make sure everything is sync correctly.
- Activate usb debugging and unlock in developer option in your phone..
- Trying unlock again with mi unlock..just this time try login with your acct number id too.
Hope it's help..and your phone can soon unlocked..

i tried all you tell me,mi unlock still says “your device is not supported by mi unlock” but i dont understand why i was able to make another request at mi unlock website,like the first time i did that,i requested again 2 days ago,i will see what will happen now.
I received another SMS and unlocked the bootloader successfully and I installed global stable ROM, thanks for helping guys )))
Hi,
Recently purchased a Mi 9 Global version, got the OTA update to MIUI 11, and everything was well. It is a superb phone, but I like to have root on my phones (mostly for Adblocking and System2, better control overall). I tried to install TWRP (custom version for Mi9) because I wanted to install Magisk/Root or try a different rom eventually. Anyway... I made a huge mistake. After trying to reboot, I noticed things had gone wrong, and was stuck in a boot loop. I guess I panicked and tried to flash the phone back to the latest global MIUI rom (Version 11, Android 10, from official site), using the Xiaomi Flash App but I did not uncheck the "clean and lock bootloader" checkbox on the bottom right of the app, which is somehow enabled by default. The flash failed at that time, for unknown reason, but it seems like it succeeded in locking my bootloader, with an empty partition, except for fastboot access and Mi Recovery module. I have to admit I've always been pretty lucky with all my previous flashes on other devices, and I guess I got a little careless. That was pretty stupid of me, in retrospect.
Since then, I am stuck in either Mi Recovery or Fastboot, and it seems that my originally Global Mi 9 with unlock bootloader has now a locked bootloader. Any attempt at either using the Xiaomi Flash utility gives me an error message ("Erase boot error"), and if I boot into Fastboot and try to flash TWRP, I get the "Remote:Erase is not allowed in Lock State" error.
From what I understand, my options are pretty limited now. The phone is still powered on, stuck in Recovery mode and rebooting every 5 or 10 minutes by itself (probably a way to avoid screen burn-in?), but I can't seem to be able to shut it down in anyway, as there are no fastboot commands to send a shutdown signal. And no matter what button combination I press, the phone always ends up rebooting.
I tried the Xiaomi Unlocker utility, but it needs the phone to be out of recovery to check the credentials binding the phone to my account. All data on the phone has been wiped already, so that's not an option. Two options I have seen :
1. Open the battery cover (required a heat gun and risky), to short some pins and try to flash while there is a short to circumvent the security. I'm not that brave yet, and since the phone is still running and has probably about 80% battery, I don't want to use a heat gun on the device.
2. Shady stuff involving paying 30 or 40 Euros to a random guy who can somehow make everything work magically by remotely logging in on my computer via Teamviewer (Not happening in a million years).
I'm wondering if there is an alternative, other than bringing the device to an official Xiaomi store (I'm in Bangkok and they do have one official shop at Fortune Town), but even then, I don't know if they'll just tell me I got myself an expensive paperweight.
Any help/insight regarding this issue would be much, much appreciated!
Have you tried to press and hold power+vol down when your device reboots? Just before it turns on.

Every possible combination on reboot will either bring me to Fastboot or Mi Recovery. I have wiped the data partition, there is no OS on the phone as of now.

So xiaomi unlock utility can't unlock bootloader in fastboot?
May be try to use xiaomitool v2.

Xiaomitool V2 is completely useless. The "My phone is bricked" option is not implemented, and I cannot boot into the OS, unfortunately.
To enter fastboot mode, long press the volume down key and the power key. Then unlock bootloader with Xiaomi app.

From what I understand, the "normal mode" needs the tool to be able to access the OS while it's running. I don't have an OS. I will give it a shot tomorrow (3 AM here, exhausted, and don't want to boot into Windows again!), but my hopes are not so high. Anyway, thanks for the help, much appreciated! Will let you know what happens! Cheers!

Unfortunately, this is not true. I have downloaded an old version of Mi Unlock (2.2.406.5), which is supposed to work with Fastboot mode. The result is "Couldn't unlock --> Please download the latest version". And the latest version needs to access the OS to verify the Mi account credentials. I don't have an OS installed. So this won't work. Thanks for the suggestion though!

I came across this Mi8 thread, not sure if it's possible on the Mi9, but he seems to have been able to flash it through EDL mode, you might ask him the question: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/mi-8-bricked-from-nowhere.55723/#post-543605

After applying the lastest update which turns out is android 11 all google apps stopped working.
When trying to downgrade i ran into the anti rollback protection when using fastboot mode (with multiple different application)
So i figured i'd flash TWRP and see if i could downgrade the rom using TWRP.
When flashing TWRP the regular way wouldn't work (TWRP wouldn't start) i used this method: https://unofficialtwrp.com/twrp-3-4-1-root-xiaomi-redmi-10x-5g/
Which includes flashing vbmeta.img and misc.bin
After doing that my phone is in a bootloop and i cant get into recovery/TWRP of fastboot anymore. So if i hold down volume up or down it just keeps rebooting after seeing Redmi with the unlocked icon on the top. There is a little vibration and then the screen then kind of fades away and it starts again...
After running into a lot of trouble with this @##[email protected]#%@ China only phone, but always being able to recover it, did i really fully brick it this time?

Thanks mate. I cant seem to download the file, but if i could, would i have to get my phone in EDL mode to get this working? And if so, does that mean taking of the backplate and connecting pins? Or is there another method?
EDIT: HOLY CRAPOLY! That worked!!! I googled the filename to download that file somewhere else. I had no idea how to use it, but i just ran the tool, clicked disable secure boot and plugged in my phone. It recognized my phone and i was able to flash using SP flask tool!!!! It's running atom_images_V12.0.6.0.QJHCNXM_20201217.0000.00_10.0_cn_ac1b4a7af4 again as i'm typing this!!!
Thanks so much man! I already orderd a POCO F3 because i was sick of dealing with all these kind of problems because of the China only rom and sideloading google apps. But at least it's working again!

Hi, i'm doing fine thank you
The tool Hsnmastoor linked to in this thread worked perfect for me and was quite easy to use (if you already have the other tools setup on you computer i guess)
After using that tool (to get my phone in EDL mode i think?) i was able to flash my phone back to "atom_images_V12.0.6.0.QJHCNXM_20201217.0000.00_10.0_cn_ac1b4a7af4" (fastboot image) using "SP_Flash_Tool_v5.2112_Win"
- Turn off you phone
- Start the "MTKSecBootDisableV1.0.0R001.ByMofadal" tool.
- Click "disable secure boot". It will say "waiting for bootrom usb device..." (after 1min 20 sec it will time out. click the button again)
- Hold volume up and connect your phone to your computer with the USB cable (while it's still off).
- You should see some phone info in the screen and at the bottom it says:
MTK Secure Boot Bypasss success!
now you can use SP Flash Tool or any MTK Tool
- Open SP_Flash_Tool_v5.2112_Win (flash-tool.exe)
- Download agent should already have "MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin" selected. If not select it from the SP flash tool folder.
- Under scatter-loading file Select the "MT6873_Android_scatter.txt" from "atom_images_V12.0.6.0.QJHCNXM_20201217.0000.00_10.0_cn\images" (i assume you have already downloaded and unpacked the files).
- Click download and let it flash.
BTW i did it this way because my phone didnt boot anymore at all. Not even into recovery or fastboot. Maybe there is another way to downgrade (but it's probably also hard because of the anti rollback protection)
So this method works (just tested it again on my phone now that it's working normally again) but might not be the easiest.
Edit: typo

Tks a lot for reply. But my phone is Miui 12 Android 11 with boot ok and entry in recovery and fastboot (i gues). Miuitool should work with bootloader unlocked to rollback android 10 v12.0.6.0.QJHCNXM right?

You can try. I think i got the anti rollback error when i tried that.
The method i described above works even if you pretty much mess up your phone completely, so it's a nice backup plan.

Ok I will try to follow your steps. I just have to see for where to go because i dont find The tool Hsnmastoor linked and for me i will study how prepare de pc to do this...but thanks a lot for all explanation about this. I dont known what is EDL mode rs (is the same thing about fastboot ? lol)
The link above also didnt work for me, but if you google MTKSecBootDisableV1.0.0R001.ByMofadal you will find other sites that host the file like: https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=318638&sort_by=date&sort_dir=DESC
Same goes for SP_Flash_Tool_v5.2112_Win. Just google the name like that and you will find links.
Also "EDL stands for Emergency Download Mode, and it's an alternative boot-mode on all Qualcomm devices, existing even lower than the standard bootloader." So its way more basic than fastboot.

There are methods/tools available to unlock bootloader without waiting. I never tried it because i also had time to wait the week.
Also i assume you can enter EDL mode and flash with the bootloader still locked. But not totally sure about this.

Hi, i did oficial upgrade to miui 12.5 and google apps work well without problems, without block. google play, play services, gboard, youtube, chrome works fine. essencial google apps already comes natively.
"comes natively"? Do you mean the ROM already has google apps installed?
Which ROM did you flash? You say upgrade, but you wanted to downgrade to android 10 again right?

yes first i wanted downgrade but my friend did update without problems. So after downgrade i upgrade official to miui 12.06, after 12.07 after 12.02 (Android 11) and finally show me the update to 12.5.2 and i upgrade. About gapps natively i see a video where a guy show that comes essencial google services
So 12.5.2 is android 11 but Google apps work for you? How did you install the Google apps? Can you link to the video?

yes in my case i already had google apps of version 12.0.2 (but without funcionallity), and when i upgrade to 12.5.2 the gapps works all. I dont known if i can post link of video here, but is here we go (in the case the user did a manual update, he explain in the video how to) Manually Update Redmi 10X / 10X Pro 5G to MIUI V12.5 Stable Rom (NO NEED FLASH) | For users: V12.0.2
Hey everyone
So, I was on Xiaomi EU and wanted to go back to MIUI CN so I flashed the 12.5.2 version that I already had on my computer and it all went normal. Then I downloaded the 12.5.10 update directly from the phone update app. After the update, it rebooted a few times and when it finally turned on it was on 12.5.2 again.
The problem is that the phone is really (like really really) slow, I can't use it because it is unresponsive and it shuts itself off after some time. I relocked the bootloader when I flashed MIUI CN so I now have the bootloader locked, and when I tried to unlock it, it told me I had to wait 400 hours...
Is there any way I can flash the official MIUI CN without unlocking the bootloader so that I can use my phone? I'm currently without an working phone and I really need it for my work.
Thanks in advance!
Go into stock recovery and wipe data,then update your rom from scratch
Yes as said, format data. You must format data on each ROM branch change and don't lock the bootloader on returning to stock until you are really happy. There is no shortcut, you will have to wait the 400 hours now. Sorry for the bad news.

You might try to install your original rom through fastboot via miflashtool, it should allow you to install it, at worst it may give you an error message,but I believe you may install it since it is your original rom

How am I supposed to flash it if I can't use twrp?
You don't need twrp to flash a fastboot ROM. http://mifirm.net find the ROM package, unzip it until you get to folder and file level and connect your phone to the PC in fastboot mode and run one of the scripts ( whichever version you need ) inside a command prompt and you're done. Oh don't forget to back up any important data as it will format your device on flashing any ROM branch change.

Did you actually type the command in to the command prompt window?
Open a command prompt window in the folder where the scripts are or open it, type cd c:\xxxxx with the folder name, to change its directory where the files are, the type the whole bat file name including the .bat bit, then press enter to run. Sorry if I'm teaching you to suck eggs but some don't use dos scripts anymore.

You have to unlock it first. I thought you had. Use miunlock tool and once fully bonded with the account and the timer has run down, use the fastboot script again.

IF u already unlock bl, and just relock it, u don't need to wait to unlock again
And how can u relock bl without using fastboot method? U talk like u never use fastboot method lol?

If you use miflash tool to flash a rom, you can lock it within miflash tool (with the device in fastboot mode). Mi unlock Pro is saying I'll have to wait to get it unlocked again. If you have any way to avoid it feel free to share
