How to check if MIUI flashed by MiFlash is legit? - Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe

Hi, yesterday I unlocked bootloader in my phone and flashed a custom ROM but I decided that I want to go back to stock and have locked bootloader. I downloaded MiFlash tool and 10.0.3.0 image from here: http//)c(.)mi(.)com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2
First thing that struck me was that the tool isn't signed, the producer is unknown in the UAC popup. The ROM was suspicious as well, its MD5 hash (only part of it) was in the filename, which is just stupid. I decided that I want to use this tool and flash the ROM anyway. I connected my phone (which was in fastboot mode) to USB 3.0 port in my PC and ran the tool. It got up to flashing system image, but then I got an error "Failed system flash". I noticed that the bootloader got locked, but the MiFlash Unlock tool told me that the device is already unlocked. I tried to boot to TWRP but, well, the bootloader was locked. I thought I hard bricked my phone, but then I decided to connect it to USB 2.0 port. To my surprise, the whole flashing progress was successful and I got no errors. It was suspicious for me, I thought that the first error was on purpose, to replace boot image to allow installation of rogue ROMs with locked bootloader. I know it's kinda paranoic, but I don't trust these Chinese tools at all. Also, I compared old boot image (backed up with TWRP) with new one, and their hashes were different. When the phone booted, I successfully updated MIUI to version 11.0.4.0 (it's the latest MIUI available in Poland), so it seems for me that it's legit. I'm attaching some screenshots from settings: https//)imgur(.)com/a/894o9qU. So, what's the best way to determine if the system is 100% legit and I'm not running some fake ROM with hidden malware?

That site is the official MIUI forums and the list of fastboot ROMs listed in that page are the official ROMs. As far as I know, that page is the only official page that has fastboot ROM links.
A boot partition backup from TWRP will not give the same hash, it copies the data from the boot partition into a new .img file, it does not do a bit perfect copy of the partition.

The same thing happened to me when I tried to use a rootkit method for rooting the phone when it apparently knew nothing about the most recent updates (MRA58N or MRA58R). I ended up having to manual flash each individual image file from the MRA58N factory image (the flash-all script in the factory image zip wouldn't work). Even so, when I rebooted it still displayed the Your Device is Corrupt message. Then I went through the manual root process again (flashed the modified boot.img through fastboot, then flashed the latest TWRP recovery via fastboot, and then used TWRP to flash the latest SuperSU. Only then did the Your Device is Corrupt message go away and I also had root with everything else working fine.
It definitely made for an un-Godly horrible first 24-hours with my new phone! I hope this helps you.

can you please tell me steps i am so afraid to do anything to my phone now and i think my problem is same as yours
i downloaded 6.0.0 (MRA58R) and i used option in toolkit flash stock it gave me an error
"failed (data transfer failure (unknown error))
Its not so easy to brick nexus, but make sure you don't lock bootloader before your phone is working right. You can find the guide how to flash it on XDA.
You will need to flash the missing files by hand.
I was able to fix the erro i got by flashing by :
setting up environmental variable
copy all the flash files, all.bat bootloaderXXX.img... etc to platform tools folder
made sure i connected into usb 2.0 port not usb 3.0
then i flashed the stock firmware XD now my phone to point zero again

You don't need to move the files to the platform-tools folder.
Go to Nexus 6 General > Sticky rol-up thread > Adb and fastboot. What is it?

How to move to new Stock partition?

I need to understand how to update to the new Stock merged partition. Have been reading general advice in various threads that we need to flash new China developer rom. Can someone elaborate regarding how to do this and where to get this rom? Do we need to re-root? Do we need to reflash recovery?
I see that many new MM roms are using this new Stock partition like Matoxxi's newest RR rom. So want to know. Detailed help is highly appreciated... Thanks...
+1
I too would like to see a proper procedure..
This is what I personally did. Was on extended partition. With TWRP as recovery.
1) Flash the cwm r11( or any working cwm) recovery. Needed to flash the repartition zip!! Don't use TWRP. Did this once and had a dead phone. Reboot to recovery. You'll be on CWM.
2) Flash the back to stock partition zip. Choose the one with "el pierro verde" in it.
3) Flash TWRP recovery. Boot to recovery.
4) Flash the 5/12/17 miui zip. This is the ROM which merges the partitions. At this point the partitions are not merged yet!
4.1) Boot the phone up. Reboot to recovery
5) Repeat step 4. Now the partitions are merged.
6) Flash any ROM that you desire.
Of you are on stock partition with TWRP skip steps 1-3.
Good luck.
If you are on MIUI ROM, install 5.12.17 first to merge partitions and then 6.2.4 via Updater app. Xiaomi.eu version is tuned for europe/outside china, Google Apps are included in rom.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960690691
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24415232478676696
Or you can just MiFlash 6.2.4 chinese developer rom factory image from en.miui.com.
Thanks for the details. I did try this out, am on original stock partition... Flashed 5.12.17, two times as per step 4. Rebooted but the partition remains resolute at old stock and does not merge. Am using twrp 2.8.7. Tried this twice, no success... Need advice... Thanks
The only quick way to setup the new partition for now is to fastboot flash the Chinese Dev ROM, as you yourself already stated. You can flash it by fastboot flashing it using Mi PCSuite and choosing the Beta ROM.
On my experience, after the flash I got my bootloader locked ("fastboot oem device-info" resulted in Device unlocked = false), but I can simply unlock it through fastboot without any problem.
From that point, you can easily flash any custom ROM.
Or even MIUI V6, with manual, per partition fastboot flash rather than using MiFlash/Mi PCSuite because of different partition layout; V6 and lower got two boot, modem and system partitions for TDB, while the new has only one.

Can you boot the phone after the first flashing? Than reboot to recovery and try step 4 again.
Have a look to
http://en.miui.com/thread-209941-1-1.html
there you can find a zip (cancro_merge_partition(2).zip) and the guideline how to use. For me it worked fine.
It does the repartitioning through fastboot by executing 1 shell script. Afterwards you might want to update your recovery rom to an English version.

I believe you have to use default Mi Recovery. One time flash of 5.12.17 was enough on my Mi4.

It got auto updated? So did you flash stock recovery? Or used twrp
I downloaded 6.2.4 into my phone and then choose the file to update from miui itself, and it will reboot to twrp recovery and install. After fully install and reboot. Only then it will have merged partition and MM miui. And back to stock recovery automatically.
I just fastboot 6.2.4 rom successfully... Now will flash twrp...
And made my first big mistake going in for 6.2.4 beta... It has locked bootloader and a load of Chinese **** you can't make sense of and have to forcefully bear it. Please can anyone help me to unlock the bootloader without begging to the ****ty miui folks?

First of all, if you planned to stay on MIUI MM, you don't have any options than requesting an unlock permission to Xiaomi.
If you just want the merged partition and prepared to flash any custom ROM or MIUI V6, enter fastboot then send this command:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
The reason is that when you unlocks the bootloader through fastboot, it automatically wipes out your phone. IDK why, but possibly inherent to Android's design for security reasons.

I tried this out, the phone got all wiped but the OEM unlocking button does not work still. So how would I know if the bootloader is unlocked?

OEM Unlocking button? You meant on the Developer Options? That button is currently useless with no function at all. If you want to ascertain if your bootloader is unlocked or not, try sending
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
via fastboot. If the "Device unlocked" comes out as true, then your bootloader is already unlocked.
Ooooor just try to flash any custom recovery/ROM. If it works, then your bootloader is already unlocked.

Yeah, it might be set to true once you had flashed another unsigned image to the eMMC (or when you disconnect the battery, IDK), probably for the warranty checks :q.

Big problems after bootloop

Hi all
Unfortunately, I'm having serious problems with my new Mi8, which arrived yesterday. It arrived with Global ROM and opened Bootloader.
Switch On, set up, data from the Mi6 pulled by NFC, all tutti. the Mi account I have connected here too.
Then I wanted to play the xiaomi.eu. TWRP installed via "Minimal adb and fastboot", installed via TWRP then the xiaomi.eu-ROM (newest). Has also worked. When setting up the point that I can play back via NFC what was not displayed, or I have overlooked him. Okay, again from the beginning, I thought. Have then reset the phone to factory settings to repeat the device.
Then the phone stuck in the bootloop. Again and again the Mi logo appeared and "unlocked", disappeared and came back, disappeared and came back. I did not get into the TWRP anymore, just into the fastboot.
On advice of different users on FB and another forum I should flash the Global ROM again over the MiFlash tool, which I did then also. Unfortunately I carelessly chose "Flash-and-Lock" and closed the boot loader. Unfortunately, this flash did not work and the phone now only starts in recovery mode 3.0
Due to the closed boot loader, it is not possible for me to install TWRP again, to flash another ROM with MiFlashTool. Also, the Unlock tool does not work, because I get the error message that the device is not linked to my account. I have also tried to install a recovery mod on the Xiaomi PC suite, as the bar remains on the PC but at 0%, on the phone remains the image with the pictured Mi8, after I in the recovery menu "Connect with MiAssistent "selected. Otherwise nothing happens.
With the latest version of the PC suite flashing works, but still boots the box in the recovery mode and the red font remains. Another user in the other forum said that I need the CN version, because on the CN device no EU-Rome is allowed. The CN version is rejected by the PC suite not get verified.
What else can I do. Do you have an idea that helps me getting the phone back on track?
This, for me, is the biggest joke of Xiaomi! Many users are getting stuck in this new policy! That does not exist! A total lack of respect for brand lovers. Let the developers figure out how to reverse this.
try CN Dev version, is latest and best,
forget xiaomi.eu rom lol, almost all they do you can do by yourself within minutes, uninstalling few chinese apps and get google works with googleinstaller_v3. and dev rom have root. just suggestion.
I tried the last cn-version, but the pc-suite dont verify this ROM and dont flash it.

Miflasher dont work, because the bootloader is locked.
To OP and the issue at hand, have you tried the fastboot image to install chinese stable or developer rom? That should flash and allow you to unlock bootloader again.
To the people whining about this policy of Xiaomi, you are buying a product for a different market. There is nothing wrong with their policy and you should wait for global version of the phone if you want global image with locked bootloader. It's a little like complaining that the chinese MMO you play over vpn doesn't have english menus. Well no, it's not for that market.

I tried only the chinese recovery rom for flashing with the pc-suite. The fastboot image, I can only flash with twrp or miflashtool, right? TWRP dont work, I cant boot in it. And miflashtool says, as I tried to flash the global rom, that it isnt allowed to erase a locked device.

Nah, the fastboot image flashes best in my experience if you unpack it, all the way. You will get some folders and .bat files. make sure you have fastboot in either PATH or same directory make sure fastboot detects the image and after that run the flash_all.bat and it should flash it.

Mi 8 soft brick

Hi guys
Sorry for my bad English
My device was running Android 10
miui 11
After I accidentally used an application to raise the screen frequency to 84Hz
The devics did a reboot and then stopped on the fastboot logo
I tried to enter recovery mode but was back to fastboot mode
I tried to flash twrp via adb and fastboot but the method did not work and the device returned to fastboot mode
Finally I downloaded the ROM file global Version Android 9
miui 11 and when i flashed the system via "xiaomi flash tool " the operation was successful until it reached the end of the process it showed me an error and the flash failed
I restarted the process and noticed that the flashing process gives me the error when the download arrives at "flashing boot"
I searched a lot for the version of Android 10 miui 11 but I did not find
What is the problem!
Can anyone explain what the problem is?
Thank you very much
Edit : solved With the help of my friend and brother @tsongming thanks bro
You likely damaged the phone, myself and others have posted numerous warning about flashing mods to increase the refresh rate.
I would recommend trying the Flashall.bat method.

See this thread : https://c.mi.com/thread-2121755-1-0.html
Also, I read about some people getting past these recent issues by using a USB hub extender. These decrease the amount of power to the port which may be causing a conflict. Try other ports and only use a usb 2 port. Further, I would recommend temporarily disabling firewall and antivirus if all else fails. Worst case use another computer.
If this helps come back and let us know what finally resolved it.

You still have encryption on your device, use the tool all in one and install TWRP ( You may need to use a different/maybe older computer, I think possibly windows 10 is part of the issue. ( Because I have had this exact issue that you are having)
Install the tool, and update ADB but not the tool itself, there will be a popup, asking to update. ignore it or the update will be flagged a sbeinga virus ( Actually a Windows issue) However, yes the program is unsigned.
Use all in One tool to remove encryption from device and flash TWRP
Boot to recovery, immediately flash root, Flash Su if you must.
Reboot to recovery, then flash a recovery rom. the boot to system , may take up to 10 minutes.
use ports from the back of the PC and you may need to use a usb hub.

While its possible that you have a hardware issue. Unless the phone has been exposed to moisture, or exposed to a great deal of force I doubt that you have a hardware problem. Again, I too have had a similar issue, it's just took a while to finally get it working, in my case my computer was part of the problem, since you have fastboot the number one goal at the moment should be with getting TWRP recovery installed, and then root.
Did you happen to make any TWRP backups?
Hopefully so, specifically if you have a TWRP backup that includes the persist image files, you need to try flashing those to the persist partition. If you can successfully restore the persist image then try the flashall.bat method again.
Another option is to use QPST, but try the above first.
Edit
Finally, After re-reading you initial post. I had forgotten that you attempted to improve the refresh rate of the display. If all you can get is fastboot after following all of the steps that I have mentioned than I am certain that you have a burned chip. Ignore the people who claim that you can't fry the chip they have no idea what they are talking about. The chip can absolutely be fried. It's still worth trying a few more times, you could have just simply corrupted partition images. When you flash the stock rom, or even when using the flashall.bat method not every partition is over written.

When you flashed the file to increase the refresh rate you likely overwrote a partition called DTBO, See if you can flash a Mi8 DTBO image to the DTBO partition. If you have the full recovery backup, you can extract the file from there. i need to research exactly how that file works and I will try to help you will getting the image if you don't have it in a backup.

While its possible that you have a hardware issue. Unless the phone has been exposed to moisture, or exposed to a great deal of force I doubt that you have a hardware problem. Again, I too have had a similar issue, it's just took a while to finally get it working, in my case my computer was part of the problem, since you have fastboot the number one goal at the moment should be with getting TWRP recovery installed, and then root.
Did you happen to make any TWRP backups?
Hopefully so, specifically if you have a TWRP backup that includes the persist image files, you need to try flashing those to the persist partition. If you can successfully restore the persist image then try the flashall.bat method again.
Another option is to use QPST, but try the above first.
Edit
Finally, After re-reading you initial post. I had forgotten that you attempted to improve the refresh rate of the display. If all you can get is fastboot after following all of the steps that I have mentioned than I am certain that you have a burned chip. Ignore the people who claim that you can't fry the chip they have no idea what they are talking about. The chip can absolutely be fried. It's still worth trying a few more times, you could have just simply corrupted partition images. When you flash the stock rom, or even when using the flashall.bat method not every partition is over written.

No problem, after reading some various post on GitHub, CNX, and source android.com, I found out that the Mi8 DTBO is in the boot. Image.
So you should be able to flash a boot image, root, and then recovery and hopefully boot to TWRP.
If that doesn't work then send me a pm and I will share my personal dtbo with you privately. But again you shouldn't need mine since dtbo is nothing more than the device tree and the boot image should suffice, because it has the exact same file.
ADB command : fastboot flash boot c:\boot.img

No that is just encryption, if the issue was related to encryption the flashall.bat method would have resolved it.
If you had a persist issue, you would see specific messages about not being able to mount the persist partition.

Thank you I will now try to do this
Yesterday I flashed the pixle rom on the device and I took off the device without problems but every period of time the device was doing a reboot, I do not know if it is the problem of the ROM or there is something wrong with the device
I tell you so that you know only that
Now I will flash the latest version of miui 11 android 9 global version, and flash the boot.img and then Root and finally Recovery True ?

Hey sorry for the delay in getting back to you, I sent you the link for the file via PM.
Also, I would strongly suggest using the stock miui initially. Just until you know it's resolved. Also while Miui is installed make a full TWRP backup and save it to your desktop. This way you always have a full backup to resolve any serious issues.
Then once you know everything is working as it should then go back to what you prefer..
For the record this issue was solved. Anyone reading this, make sure that you have a full working TWRP backup of your working device, it will save you a lot of headaches. The solution for the refresh rate is issue is restoring stock DTBO, and then flashing Miui Stock.

Question CRC Error on flashing via Fastboot

Ayo,
i got a new N10Pro EEA and tried to update it to the latest official ROM to play a bit with it.
Bootloader is unlocked since yesterday, and i tried to download the 13.0.15 and 13.0.16 from different sites. Checked CRCs and all are good.
Unpacked the TGZ file and added the necessary fastboot.exe and files. (Did it this way a lot of Redmi Note 8T times... )
Got the device in fastboot mode, connected it and started the flash_all.bat
It goes through until it tries to flash part 7 of the super image, then it fails with a CRC error.
It does this on either the EEA version (13.0.16) and the global (13.0.15), and i've checked repeatedly that my files are ok and i'm positive they are.
I edited the super line out of the file and all the others go through flawlessly, but now my device just bootloops because the most of data is corrupt of course.
What did i do wrong?
I just had a SIM in there, registered the Mi account (i used it for all my RN8Ts), unlocked it with a week wait and nothing more.
No Wifi, no other accounts, just the minimum necessary to unlock it, then tried to flash....

Developer options USB debugging is activated?
Search for flashing instructions in this forum for your preferred ROM and it's easier to flash Roms, in my opinion, with orange fox recovery (or TWRP)
Can't and won't activate USB debugging as phone is softbrick now. Didn't need to on my RN8Ts, either.
The ROM is Xiaomi stock, flashing instructions are "unpack tgz, connect phone in fastboot mode, start flash_all.bat", which is what i did (as with all the RN8Ts i have)
TWRP it is the next step, but first i need it to work with the latest official ROM...
I'd prefer OFox but i think there is no version for Android 12/MIUI 13. The beta has V11 in the name so it's for Android11, not?

The Complete Guide to Flashing Factory Images on Android Using Fastboot
If your phone has an unlocked bootloader, you can use Fastboot commands to flash factory images. That may sound like a bunch of technical jargon, but when it comes down to it, this is the best method for updating a rooted device, fixing a bricked phone, reverting to stock, or even getting new...

Thank you very much, your first link had a hint on the solution, thanks a lot!
I used the latest google/android fastboot 33.0.3, but tried another as to the thread posted, and the years old fastboot 1.4.3 from https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/tool-minimal-adb-and-fastboot-2-9-18.2317790/#post-42407269 did the trick!
Never would i have thought that a 4 year old hack would work better than the latest official google file....

I solved my soft brick using the 13 image files on my RN11. This got me out of a perpetual fastboot loop. (It should also work on the RN10P)
i.e. fastboot flash boot boot.img, fastboot flash super super.img etc for all 13 images.
I tried the flash_all.bat several times but it just kept borking at different spots and I needed to get out of that fastboot loop hell.
The flash_all bat works like a charm for me, there's no sense in typing all the lines one for one.
The exe seems to bork at the size of the super image, the RN8 hadn't such a thing, the RN10 has a 7G file the exe couldn't stand, obviously.
At least it did CRC error repeatedly, with different ROMs, all at the 7 of 10 or 7 of 11 stage...
