[HELP] Downgrade Back To MIUI from Custom ROM. - Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers

I want to go back to MIUI 9 from custom ROM Pixel Experience (8.1.0). My device is Redmi 4X (Santoni)
1st option. (tried)
- I downloaded the MIUI ROM from here. http://en.miui.com/download-323.html
- I flashed this ROM through TWRP.
- The flashing process passed.
- But when I want to boot, it says "no OS. Want to continue reboot?"
- When I boot, it stuck on the boot logo.
2nd option. (tried)
- I downloaded the fastboot ROM and XiaoMi flash Tool from here. http://en.miui.com/a-234.html (Under Redmi 4X Santoni)
- I flash using "XiaoMi Flash Tool".
- XiaoMi Flash Tool detected my device.
- During flash, I got an error "no such file or directory".
So now I'm stuck. I can't go back to MIUI.
Only able to go to other Custom ROM.
Or do I need any other files?

Try this https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962187416754468805
this is xiaomi.eu rom

try that
http://en.miui.com/thread-621761-1-1.html

1. Wipe data,chache,dalvik
2. Flash ROM ,dont wipe
3. Try to reboot,( if u have notice no OS try to Flash ROm once more but dont wipe )

Use any miui recovery rom to flash thru twrp or if you dont have twrp recovery the use fastboot rom
Here some steps..
#1 Recovery method
1) download any santoni miui recovery rom(stable, dev, xiaomi.eu, miuipro)
2) go to twrp
3) wipe system, cache, dalvik cache, data
4) install downloaded rom
5) flash root ( supersu or magisk)
6) flash lazy flasher( its recommend for miui roms)
7) reboot
Wait for start (it will take 5-10 min to start)
#2 fastboot method
1) download fastboot rom ( global or developer )
2) move to pc or if you download on pc then extract in drive C: root directory
3) make sure folder dont have any space between name like "roms here"
It must be "roms"
4) install and open xiaomi tool or mi flash tool
5) choose directory of rom ( not images folder)
Main folder like "santoni_global_images_xxxxxx"
6) enable USB debugging (if your phone dont have any rom skip it )
7) then go to fastboot mode
8) choose directory of fastboot rom
9) flash then wait to success
Your phone will reboot after success wait for boot and start its also take 5-10 min to start

In Fastboot method where did you extracted the '.tgz' setup file. If you extracted it to other than c drive, repeat the process by extracting the setup file in to desktop.

The solution would be xiaomi flash tool.Flash miui 8 first and then upgrade to miui 9

Hello, this happens because official MIUI boot.img verifies if recovery.img is also official/original.
You have 2 options to resolve the boot problem:
1. If you want to keep TWRP then modify boot.img... http://en.miui.com/thread-249666-1-1.html (with R4X image of course)
and flash it from TWRP or fastboot: fastboot flash boot boot.img
2. If you want original recovery, get "recovery.img" from the exact TGZ image as your MIUI ZIP
and flash it: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Noob question about flashing rom -Error 7

Thank you for all the helpful information here.
I am trying to get a custom rom onto my 6gb/256gb Mi Mix (probably ViperOS or another). I am following the guide, but having some issues. This is my 1st Xiaomi device, and just 2nd time rooting a phone. It has the CN China rom as far as I know.
I have:
-Unlocked phone by request + miflash. Verified in cmd 'fastboot device-info'
-flashed TWRP (many different versions) some freeze the twrp recovery screen
-verified that 'oem unlocking' and 'usb debugging' are enabled
-tried flashing xiaomi.eu_multi_MIMix_8.7.26_v10-8.0, and Cardinal-AOSP-5.6.1-OREO-lithium-UNOFFICIAL-20180613-2209-treble, both give errors:
"e3004: This package is for device: lithium; this device is ."
"updater process ended with error: 7
Error installing zip file..."
also says 'no md5 file found', 'no file_contexts'
I read that it might be a twrp compatibility issue, I've tried the following versions:
twrp 3.2.1-1, 3.1.1-0, 3.1.0-0, 3.0.2-0, 3.2.1-raupe-blunden-15.1-updated, all freeze the touch screen
twrp by MrRaines, twrpSmarty, (both are the mi mix versions), seem to work fine
currently the phone boots to fastboot fine, but won't boot to the system.
first suggestion, install mi pcsuite to your computer.
second, flash your phone using miflash to miui rom version 8.5.24.
the fastboot rom : http://bigota.d.miui.com/8.5.24/lit...24_20180524.0000.00_8.0_global_3469133506.tgz
don't forget to choose "flash but don't relock the bootloader" script method.
after that, flash twrp again and try flash any custom rom you want.
I'm not having success with that method using miflash.
I flashed another stock rom last night through twrp (not 8.5.24) & the phone is booting fine.
When I try to use mi flash to flash 8.5.24 I get errors.
I downloaded a 8.5.24 fastboot rom that was a tgz file from your link
I installed mi suite (don't think I used it for anything), and mi flash.
I put the phone in fastboot, ran miflash, found the device, set file directory to the folder with the tgz fastboot rom, and got errors (first I think was "can not found file flash_all.bat")
then I tried unzipping the tgz. I was getting error "No such file or directory"
I tried renaming the downloaded rom to .tgz, it didn't help.
Right now the phone is running:
MIUI 9.6.1.0 Stable OAHCNFD
Android 8.0.0
I don't know how to flash or check which firmware it's on
When I use fastboot commands to boot into TWRP (MrRaines this time), I click wipe>format data>yes>reboot into fastboot>fastboot command boot into TWRP
move rom from computer to phone
in TWRP, click 'install'>leave 'zip signature verification' and 'reboot after installation is complete' unchecked> click 'swipe to confirm flash'> get response "ERROR 7"
I downloaded the Resurrection Remix rom & get a different error, "Could not find META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary' in the zip file ..."
[Solved]
Finally got something flashed to it (Pixel Experience).
If anyone has similar problems, I think it may have been that I was on the wrong firmware.
Here's basically what got it running:
-I was on 9.6.1.0 & had checked for updates through the phone's updater
-i enabled usb debugging, usb unlock, etc.
-i flashed twrp-3.2.1-raupe-blunden-15.1-updated
-in twrp i moved over firmware 8.7.5 for mi mix & flashed it (success)
-i moved over the Pixel Experience 8.1.0-2018-0728 & flashed it (success)
-i should have wiped data, cache, dalvik cache, vendor, & system but missed that step
- i rebooted & after a few minutes successfully booted into Pixel Experience

9t Pro bricked, can only access fastboot HELP

[SOLVED]
I need help I just bricked my phone and can only access fastboot.
I just unlocked my 9t pro to install a custom rom and followed the steps of this video ( can't post link but it's called: Redmi K20 Pro / MI 9T Pro - INSTALL Pixel Experience ROM Official | Android 9 Pie)
I managed to install twrp, made a backup of dtbo, boot, system and data and then wiped dalvik, cache, system and Data. After that I flashed DM Verity Force Encrypter and proceeded to flash havoc-os which gave me Error 7. I figured I might need to reboot the recovery, after doing so only fastboot comes up anymore. I cannot access twrp and have no OS installed. Please help.
If bootloader unlocked, you could use MiFlash to flash stock Rom

This is the problem with random YouTube videos, they don't always give good advice.
There is no reason to back up dtbo, unless you are going to install an overclocked screen refresh rate mod.
There's no reason to wipe system.
There's no need to install DM Verify Force Encrypter, unless you know what they are for and you choose to disable DM Verify and/or permanently disable encryption.
Go here https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/miui/raphael/
And choose the fastboot ROM for the version you want to install, then flash it in the Mi Flash Tool.
When flashing you MUST change the flash option at the bottom of the screen to 'clean all'. If you do not change this you will brick your phone (worse than it is now)
After this you can start again. Your best solution to flashing is to search these forums. There's many good guides here

Not sure if that will do the trick tho.

Go to miuios.cz to section redmi 8/8A, post MIUI CZ SK ROM + TWRP, you must be loged and in VMach3 post is this link.
I have only tried to boot mentioned recovery, but it was not working for me.
Code:
~/Downloads$ fastboot boot recovery-TWRP-3.3.1-1127-REDMI8-CN.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 2.107s]
booting...
OKAY [ 2.121s]it
finished. total time: 4.228s
~/Downloads$
After automatic reboot started system. When manualy restarted phone booted to vendor recovery mode. No adb was available and any try to boot to system was failure - phone always booted to recovery mode. To boot to system I needed to select "wipe data" and then reboot to phone (but all previous data/configuration was deleted).
One more try with this Unofficial TWRP 3.3.1-1127 for REDMI 8 by wzsx150, this time it was success, everything was working smoothly.
Install from fastboot mode:

Hi. Am I right, this TWRP is for China version of Redmi 8? I have Global version. Will it work for me?

TWRP is language and version (global, china etc.) neutral. You have on first screen by first run button on right side at the bottom where you can select english language.
If you want root your phone with magisk, go directly to canary version. By stable version I got root only by adb, other apps were denied root access and freeze for a short time (for ex. Total commander beta).
On the other hand I was not able to use phone with not encrypted data with none of magisk version (stable or canary) even if I had "Preserve forced Encryption" unticked.
Code:
~$ adb shell getprop ro.crypto.state
encrypted
Tested on MIUI 11.0.4 by xiaomi.eu.
Unable to install official TWRP in Redmi 8, Miui 11.0.7. It installed. and then vanished when rebooted. and then boot looped. Had to flash original recovery and boot img to reboot.
Had made sure that I didn't boot to system after flashing TWRP. and boot to recovery instead. It flashed okay. Could use the root after installing Magisk. But on reboot, all was gone. Boot looped.

Hello,
Did you reboot via button combo or fastboot reboot?
I read somewhere that Magisk is to be flashed before reboot.
Anyway, you will succeed.
I follow you because I am at 100 h to unlock.

Question Reverting my Redmi Note 10 Pro

My friend changed my OS from Android MIUI to arrow os witch mimics Pixel OS but it's too buggy and it drains my battery soo much quicker and shuts down by itself, does any1 know how I can revert my Redmi Note 10 Pro back to android miui???
Download miflash tool, download latest fastboot zip file from your phone region (remember fastboot, not recovery zip), extract the fastboot zip, boot phone to fastboot by power button+volume down, connect phone to PC and select clean all (or do clean all and lock if you wish to lock the device bootloader once more). This will install the miui stock rom on your device. If you need more guide then watch yt videos about how to flash fastboot rom in xiaomi phones.
