Yea I used miflash and miui beta fastboot rom

I think you select to flash and lock bootloader... I did that too and the only way is enter via test point and use a authorized account to flash the right ROM

You will need an account with authorization to flash, so you must buy it... I found it in others post in XDA.

Help installing TWRP on Xiaomi mi5

Hello people
i'm aware that there are guides out there, but i'm honestly not the best at all this flashing stuff, i have done it to a few phones but this one needs to be done just right!
So, where should i begin?, i reckon i should start with unlocking the phone via the unlock tool (i am registered and accepted) and then flash TWRP via that tool?
or is the best/only way of flashing TWRP with the ADB fastboot?

my problem now is i have no idea how to get miui 7 on it. Iknow that all CM based roms will end in a bootloop if i try to flash with that on.
i have tried a number of things, last time i tried i ended up with it not detecting my sim card, so i had to revert back to Miui 8

Use miflash tool to flash latest stable global miui 8, then flash CM
It will be fine. I went to CM that way

No, the MIUI need to be flashed through Miflash tool
TWRP through fastboot
And CM through TWRP
No adb at all

Your thread is getting slightly confusing so let's do it step by step.
Is your phone currently unlocked?
To check, put it into fastboot mode manually without adb:
Turn off your device. Then turn on your device again while holding volume down button.
Plug in your device. Use fastboot:
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
Post screenshots.
Reboot your phone. Post a screenshot of your "About phone" settings menu.

I also tried this way.But not miflash tool. I use twrp to flash global stable rom,boot up the rom and flash twrp through fastboot.And then you can flash your favourite rom.
Hi,
sorry to hijack this thread, but i also have problem flashing TWRP.
I have unlocked phone.
I have USB debugging enabled.
I can reboot to fastboot via adb.
I ca flash twrp (twrp-3.0.2-1-gemini.img 25.2M 2016-07-19 18:48:36 EDT).
But when i go to recovery i still see Mi PcSuite thing. No twrp.
What am i doing wrong? IS there some other, more appropriate twrp image?

I got mine sorted out, what you are missing is when you are done flashinh you have to type "Fastboot reboot" and then set TWRP to default recovery
hope that helps you out
Same problem for me, when i type "Fastboot reboot", my Mi5 reboot quickly and after when i go to recovery i see also Mi PC Suite....
Do you have a workaround ?
Second question, is it normal that time to send TWRP.img to phone in ADB is only 0,9s ?

Issue regarding device corrupted after cn rom installation.
whenever you want to go for the China rom from global rom version 2.15 do not install the latest China rom install China rom version 2.18 first then upgrade to the latest if you will try to install the latest you will just soft brick your device. And if you soft brick your device don't panic just boot into fastboot mode and flash the stock recovery of redemagic 3 into your phone now place either global rom or China rom v 2.18 Into the pendrive and connect to the device otg boot into the stock recovery there you will see a option install update via otg select the option and locate the package and install let the device boot first boot will take 2 to 3 minutes and now your device has been recovered without any tool. PLEASE BEWARE DO NOT INSTALL CHINA ROM WITHOUT UNLOCKING YOUR BOOTLOADER CAUSE IF YOU MESS ANYTHING IN INSTALLATION OF CHINA ROM IN A LOCKED BOOTLOADER THERE IS A CHANCE THAT YOU MAY HARD BRICK YOUR DEVICE.

Question my mi 11 is bricked

I've tried to flash android 12 beta and accidentally locked my device,
now my device is locked and there is no rom or recovery, I can only access fastboot.
When I try to unlock it, says "please add your account in miui settings" but I can't do that because I have no rom.
what can I do?
If you have access to fastboot you will have to flash stock miui Rom throu mi flash. After that unlock your bootloader again

You need some one who has authorized account. It has to be done by EDL mode.

If you're able to flash the stock rom that came with the phone using mi flash, you're fine. If not, like Zoltan78 said, EDL mode 100%. I had the same issue with a Redmi K20 Pro (china) after flashing global rom and I accidentally left "flash and lock" enabled. I'm in Romania...at 4:00 AM I was on teamviewer with some Xiaomi Dev from Thailand and he had a Dev account to flash it via EDL mode, but I had to remove the back of the phone and hold a screwdriver on 2 pins while booting up the phone.
Okay if flashtool doesnt want may try
- indunesia
- global (5,4GB)
download type must be fastboot its a bit down/lower had to scroll!
dont know which you prefer/what you had
if non of that watch for type fastboot HERE
the tgz can extracted with 7zip
after that there is a tar, that can also be extracted by 7zip
if you not already have it install the latest fastboot or put the fastboot files from miui into that folder
use the flash_all.bat
Happened to me, too. I simply had to unlock the mi 11 again and Android 12 booted. Maybe I have been lucky but it worked

So sp flash tool will lock your phone to engineer mode if it turns off follow this instruction:
prepare sp flash tools to only flash recovery (the one you want to boot into)
then click the download button to start flash
then wait for phone to get to boot( when image appears, before it gets to reboot plugin your phone to pc)
sp flash tools will flash then when done make sure you reboot to the custom recovery
then if you can access your system from recovery , look next to build.rop for recovery or rebootfromrecovery.p
copy the file somewhere
edit in notepad to clear everything, save it then use the edited one to overwrite

It cannot detect the device, it isnt in device manager either, i am getting scared
edit: actually it gets detected in device manager as "usb serial device (com4)" when i hold the power button, volume up and volume down at the same time, when i do that, the device stays with a black screen
SP flash tool still does not detect it
it seems to be disconnecting while in this state

Certainly, mixing files from different miui versions, bricked your device.
You need to flash the correct miui version to fix the partition table.
And then, you can flash another miui version using fastboot.

Question Bootloader

Hi recently I tried to install TWRP on my xiaomi 12 pro but instead it made my phone stuck on fastboot, I used mi flash to flash it to the normal rom but it said something about it being not supported so I picked wipe date on the phone and tried to install a different version but, now apparently the phone is locked and I do not know how to unlock it to flash it again. any help will be appreciated please.
Things I've tried
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flashing unlock
Mi flash - I cant flash because the device is locked and I have not logged in with a Mi account.

Which version?
So as not to make the same mistake again if we manage to save the phone.
Which TWRP and which command.
For Miflash you have probably left the flash and lock box checked.
If you could post the Miflash log (Miflash log folder)
I used this guide to install twrp
I put global rom instead of europe rom which came with my phone
I do have another xiaomi device I was wondering it I could somehow transfer the account to my bricked phone then flash it that way

Is the version of your phone Chinese with a Xiaomi EU rom?
I bought it from Here
It says in the description that 'The initial Chinese version has been updated to a global ROM.'
so I'm not sure when I got it I checked the rom and it said the Europe version I tried to update the version but when it was ready to install it said 'your device supports twrp' and I clicked ok to the instructions and when the device booted back up it was in recovery mode and I pressed restart and no updates were made.

It is a Chinese version.
post the Miflash log (Miflash log folder) so I can check what you did.
The log is between 20 and 25 KB and starts like this
[23:28:45 eeab043a]:MiFlash 2020.3.14.0
[23:28:45 eeab043a]:vboytest index:1

As you have on my tutorial, this is the mistake not to do with a Chinese device.
Now to be sure, flash a Chinese rom with Miflash by checking the Clean all box.
Either the phone works again or not, Miflash will give you the error, surely 'lock state'
yes it says failed remote: erase is not allowed in lock state, im trying to get out of that mode I need help with that
