Can't flash MIUI in fastboot - phone reboots - Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers

I'm selling my Mi8 and want to replace PixelExperience with official MIUI.
Every time I connect the phone to the computer and click on refresh in MiFlash to detect the phone, the phone reboots.
I've tried a different USB port with no luck.
Does anyone have a suggestion?

There are some different possibilities to solve that. A very easy way is:
1. Remove all system's safety measures from the phone, boot the phone into bootloader (fastboot) and connect it to a PC
2. Via ADB/Fastboot boot the latest TWRP-recovery of Mauronofrio https://sourceforge.net/projects/mauronofrio-twrp/files/Dipper/ (it's not necessary to flash TWRP!)
3. Format data partition (not only wipe!)
4. Use TWRP to flash a clean MIUI 11 ROM from an USB-stick. For Global use the recovery-version at: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/dipper/stable/V11.0.5.0.QEAMIXM/
That's all.
Another easy way would be using Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools 7.0.3 https://github.com/Szaki/XiaomiADBFastbootTools/releases/tag/7.0.3

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 ?

Mi 8 - recovery bootloop, help!?

Have my Mi 8 about a week, loving it BUT as the bootloader is unlocked I couldn't use Google Pay so I decided to install TWRP and get the Xiaomi.eu ROM.
I just installed TWRP and tried backing up the phone, but I got an error saying it Can not create the folder. I reinstalled TWRP, thinking maybe there was an issue with the first install but now it's stuck in a recovery boot loop. It loads to the MI screen with the unlocked icon but doesn't get to the powered by android, it goes straight into recovery.
The Rom is not on the device and I thought maybe could install it through the recovery but if I have the phone plugged into the laptop (Windows 10) and go into recovery, the touch screen on the phone doesn't work and the phone keeps rebooting itself.
I can also get into Fastboot and the device is detected by miFlash.
What should I do next, I don't trust my instincts. Any advice would be much appreciated. I'm currently downloading the Global Rom off Xiaomi (going to take a while on my 3mb broadband) and hoping I can flash that with miFlash tool, good or bad idea??
U can use otg usb and put the rom on it.
Boot to twrp and wipe data (the one that ask you to say yes? Than install the rom(choose one for recovery flashing not fastboot)

Cheers for the reply! Unfortunately I don't have an adapter to put the rom on the phone. I'll order one now, always good to have for situations like this.
Any other way of getting the phone up and running sooner? If not, no problem, I'll just have to wait for the adapter.

Sure there must be a fastboot method but didn't tried it yet, i had this phone 3 days ago
Not sure if after formatting data and reboot to twrp you can copy the rom from pc to phone.
One more thing if you use fastboot method be sure not to relock the bootloader cause you may brick ur phone.
If you want to install xiaomi.eu rom dont just wipe data but you have to format data then type yes. Reboot to twrp again. And at twrp recopy the xiaomi.eu rom.

the only right answer, all other are more or less useless.
you need to wipe data, then format data (confirm with yes)
after that, hold power+up to reboot in twrp again
(or go to mainmenu and choose reboot to recovery),
connect your Mi8 with Usb cable to PC and copy the xiaomi.eu rom to your mi8
and then flash it.

Cheers for the advice, I'll make sure to format before installing. Only issue now is that I can't get the rom onto the phone to install it. Do you reckon if I format the data through TWRP it will then allow me to copy over the rom onto the device? Currently, unless in fastboot, the laptop doesn't recognise the device - constantly reboots the phone causing it to connect and disconnect.

I like the sound of this solution but I have a few questions/need clarification as this mess has made me doubt myself (no issue flashing my previous phone mi5)
I downloaded the Global rom from here: http://en.miui.com/download-346.html#523 (just want clarification this is the official rom) I have the latest version of the miFlash. Am I right in thinking, put phone into fastboot, launch tool, locate unzipped rom folder, select 'Clean all' (and not save user data / clean all and lock (presume this means bootloader)) and click Flash??
And then do I start again, flash TWRP and hope it works?

If I do this (wipe data and format) will the laptop detect the device to allow me to move the rom onto the phone, currently it doesn't (well it loops between connecting and disconnecting when in TWRP, no issue detecting in fastboot)
normally if twrp is launched, you can copy files as usual from pc to your Mi8
should be a stable connection.. (Win7/10 or any other Win)
if it keeps connecting/disconnecting you can try an other usb port.
do you use the right twrp ?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-3-0-mi-8-t3837745
and you enabled usb debugging in settings before you flashed twrp ?
(I think without it will not work, even to flash twrp it is needed, so you did it)

I've tried several USB ports and different cables, no luck getting it to connect.
No the TWRP installed is 3.2.1-0611-XIAOMI8, yours uses the code name and seems to be a newer version and more legit, I'm going to flash that onto the phone. I presume do it the way I did it before - fastboot, shift right click to get to cmd line...etc.
I did indeed enable usb debugging when I installed it originally.
By the way, thanks so much for your help, I'm lost without my phone - it was love at first sight
Fastboot Flashing Code
Code:
Fastboot boot Twrp.img
Flash the recovery img again inside twrp and reboot to recovery again and it will stay.
If u are new to twrp, format data in twrp and reboot to recovery again and flash this file https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=3700668719832238534 after that u can flash the rom.
If u have already twrp installed, just flash the img in twrp

Actually I'm confused now, is this probably where I went wrong in the first place.
Boot the TWRP img and then flash it through TWRP, I've never done it this way before (have I been doing this worng all along?)
and whats the other file about? Disable_Dm-Verity_FEC_v1.1.zip
Sorry about all the questions
you can flash/update twrp inside twrp itself, but you dont need it.
I never used any tools or bat files, just normally installed adb,
and put the twrp.img in the same folder.
then open cmd:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
to boot into twrp again:
fastboot boot twrp.img
never heard from this fec1.1 zip, so ignore it.
you should go to the xiaomi.eu forum for help,

Right, so I got TWRP 3.2.3 installed and seems to be working (not disconnecting and reconnecting) BUT the phone is still not recognsed - It says unspecified in the devices . I ran through the ADB set up, all installed including drivers but still no phone showing up. I hate windows 10 and drivers, can't get them to play nice (or it's me)
I had never any problems with Win10 x64,
I dnever installed any driver for my Mi5/6 and now 8,
win10 detects everything automatically, if you have installed any driver, maybe just
uninstall them and restart win10

AND WE'RE IN!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! If you were here I'd hug you and get you a drink.
Forget my above nonsense and babble, PC wasn't happy with whatever was going on, once I got brave enough and actually followed your instructions in all fell into place!!
So conclusion -
I had the wrong TWRP (3.2.3 is needed)
PC didn't like whatever was happening without the OS
Wiped and formatted through TWRP - Phone was recognised
Dragged Xiaomi.eu rom over - copied perfectly
Flashed rom - successful and the wiped cache again to be safe
Rebooted and my smile came back the moment I saw the 'powered by android' icon
Went through set up and I'm back in.
Mi 8 - bootloop and locked device, no system, help?
Hi guys,
I did a pretty much bad thing on my phone, I've just bought it 2 weeks ago and I was loving the phone, my phone is unlocked but today I was rooting to install google camera with night sight and I don't know why my twpr was really weird, when pressing install all the folder that was showing was very different from youtube videos about mi 8 root and even compared to my old devices, it was showing folders like licence and others, but the weirdest was inside the sdcard folder that was showing a lot of unnamed folders(like this: 54u3hu6ijj4!ji5), the thing got worse when I've flashed magisk and the phone got stuck on bootloop, after that tried to flash a stock global rom from official Mi website on fastboot mode using Mi Flash Toll, what I did wrong is that I didn't see that the Lock option was ticked and than I pressed to flash, everything was going good when my device showed a message saying that the Miui wasn't compatible with my phone. After that I've tried to install TWPR again but my phone was locked by the Mi flash toll and know my device is without system and unlocked. I've also tried to unlock but is saying that my account is not bound to my device, so I have no idea what to do, I'm gonna never root any phone ever, worse thing I did.
Can Anybody know what I can do to unlock the phone?
Sorry about my English, that's not my native language.

Question Cannot install any custom ROMs other than Pixel Experience

Hi,
I wanted to install DotOS on my Redmi Note 10 Pro, but flashing with TWRP wiped the entire storage (0mb left), which caused a bootloop/soft brick.
I thought it was a TWRP problem until I tried to sideload it via the commands, same problem.
I tried with the Pixel Experience recovery image, still the same problem.
When I look at the community, it seems that I'm the only one having this problem.
Please help, thanks.
Edit: I should also say that I have tried with LineageOS (unofficial port), xiaomi.eu and back to MIUI too, and it still have the same problem.

dot os is MIUI based (vendor), you need to flash stock rom or firmware+vendor zip before/after the dot os and format data by typing yes
PE has oss vendor that's why it has no issues booting up

I had the same problem moving from PE+ based on OSS vendor, and I did this. Maybe you can use this for the future:
1. Copy the new ROM you wanted (MIUI vendor works too) to sdcard instead of internal.
2. In TWRP, Go to Wipe - Format Data. Type in 'yes'. This will lead to internal storage having 0mb.
3. Reboot to Recovery (Not system because that will reinstall PE+)
4. Then go to Install - Choose sdcard instead of internal and flash your new ROM zip.
I was able to go from PE+ (OSS vendor) to Xiaomi.eu (MIUI) without any issues.

1. Copy the new ROM you wanted (MIUI vendor works too) to sdcard instead of internal.
2. In TWRP, Go to Wipe - Format Data. Type in 'yes'. This will lead to internal storage having 0mb.
3. Reboot to Recovery (Not system because that will reinstall PE+)
4. Then go to Install - Choose sdcard instead of internal and flash your new ROM zip.
I was able to go from PE+ (OSS vendor) to Xiaomi.eu (MIUI) without any issues.

1.Download an official firmware, boot your device into your Fastboot Mode with Power+Volume Down Button connect your device to your pc and launch the flash_all.bat
When the flash is completed go to the Stock Recovery with Power Button+Volume Up Button, clean the data and wait your device to boot. When your device booted setting it up and enable USB Debugging from the Developer Tools.

You can flash your device using only the flash_all.bat without miui flasher tool. Just boot your phone to Fastboot mode, connect your phone using usb cable to your Computer/Laptop and launch the flash_all.bat and your phone will reboot automatically when the flashing is completed! If you get stuck into the MIUI Boot Logo, go to your recovery and clean the data..
I think it works because I've tried it several times and it works!
Download the official firmware from Here:

What is the problem or did you solve it?
I solved it thanks for your help, but has I said when extracting the rom use 7zip because winrar caused crc errors witch made the instalation fail twice thanks once again.
