Reverting back to stock miui 8 from cm 14.1 on Mi 5

I want a little help from the community. I recently unlocked the bootloader on my Mi5 and flashed twrp and then installed cm 14.1 on it. Now I want to revert back to stock miui 8 that came with the phone. How can I do this? Can anyone help me out?

Take a look at the download section of MIUI.com
They have 2 versions, 1 to flash via TWRP or other recovery's and 1 to use there flash tool.
You can choose what you want in there.

Is it so? I've undestood that you can't flash orginal miui rom with twrp but you have to use miflash instead. But you can flash eu rom or any other custom rom with twrp.

I flashed the fastboot rom through mi flash tool, but it didn't boot.
I'm just referring to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70197250&postcount=508
It seems that you can't flash at least nougat miui with latest twrp.

I haven't done it so maybe I'm not the best advisor. But there is some discussion of it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/help/how-to-revert-cm14-to-miui-t3516986
Specially the last reply.
But as far as i understand, orginal miui rom needs to be flashed in fastbood mode with miflash. Eu rom can be flashed with twrp.

Thanks man, it worked!
Hmmm, you guys are right.
I had a link about flashing from recovery, but that was only if you already had MIUI running (v7) and you wanted to upgrade to 8.
My bad, sorry.

did you just go into fastboot and clean all and then flash using mi flash ?
or did you have to install the original recovery via adb first ?
Is it safe if I go back to MIUI from my RR ROM with custom kernel?

Just make sure to backup everything, since flashing using fastboot mode will erase everything including internal storage.

Reflashing MIUI and stock recovery?

Hey so if this has been covered elsewhere please let me know, but I'm hoping to revert back from my Nougat rom to MIUI8 and return to the standard recovery.
What is the correct procedure for this? Can I just flash the MIUI8 rom with TWRP?
Thanks in advance people.

Obviously you can't flash MIUI with TWRP if you are on CM or some other custom ROM. You need miflash.

Thanks heaps mate, so seems like the procedure is as follows:
gaz090 said:
Yeah first time I did this I hard bricked the phone. This is the process I use now:
1) Download MiFlash
2) Download Mi5 Fastboot ROM that you want to use
3) Reboot phone into Fastboot
4) Put phone into EDL using the command "fastboot oem edl" (without quotes)
5) Launch MiFlash - it should detect it as a COM device. Flash the ROM you downloaded earlier.
6) Once it's done, you'll be back to original MIUI. Be aware that this also flashes the recovery too, so you'll need to reinstall TWRP if you want to use it.

I'm going to souce MiFlash and the latest fastboot ROM from here: http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
Just an update, the procedure above worked perfectly.
I am now running MAAMIDI with stock recovery.
Thankss heaps for the help Nbkdnssr!

Which version of TWRP?

So, just got the OTA update to Android Pie for my Mi 8 Global, and want to try flashing TWRP again. Every single version of TWRP I have flashed before has always either fail to boot, or always reboots into recovery and the ROM never loads. Anyone can suggest a real working TWRP file to flash? Do I need to wipe data? Etc. Since TWRP hasn't worked for me at all, I have to root with a roundabout way. Install Magisk Manager, extract and recompile boot.img into patched_boot.img and flash that in fastboot. This gives me roo but no TWRP so I can't flash any custom kernels or ROMs.

How can I get my xiaomi mi a2 back to normal?

I rooted my phone but didn't really like it while having my banking apps on it. So I tried to get back to normal but ended up wiping everything, even the OS, off of my phone. I am trying to get it back to normal. I followed one guide on here which gave me an android 10 ROM but I was unable to update it to the latest version. The link for that guide is: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/guide-official-stock-android-10-t4033835. I didn't install the force encrypt or the magisk because I don't wanna root it. I just want it back to how it was before the root. So I am wondering if there is a way that I can get back to normal now. Thanks in advance for any advice.

well what is the problem ? if it booted and you didn't flash magisk you are on stock. ...what exactly do you want ? to lock the bootloader or remove twrp custom recovery too ?

The ROM was an earlier version of android 10. But I am unable to install the latest updates for android 10 OTA. It's working but I would like to be able to receive updates again. If there is another ROM that would give me those results I would be fine with flashing that too.

the most likely issue is your recovery ... take the stock recovery from a fastboot stock rom and flash that with fastboot
also make sure to flash stock rom in both slot A & B then updates will work
go to this website
https://www.getdroidtips.com/xiaomi-mi-a2-stock-firmware/
download a PIE stock rom that is a FASTBOOT version ... download miflash ...follow instructions to flash it using miflash in fastboot mode
then boot & set it up ...it will start offering updates by itself
your problem right now is that you flashed stock rom in only one slot and you have a custom recovery so that is why it can't update

So I downloaded a fastboot file from here :https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/fastboot-xiaomi-mi-a2-fastboot-images-t3824849
The miui flash program wouldn't work for me. On the website you linked me there was a method that used twrp to flash it. But when use twrp I can't see any of the zip files in twrp. I've tried three different ones from the link I just shared here. Not sure what the problem is.
