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...

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.

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.

Im using Pallmali method to flash, however 1st i try to repeat flash on step 4, it didnt work, then i download MIUI china dev 6.2.4 and flash, wait for a while and it is updated to MIUI 7 MM with merged partition.

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.

Thank you very much.
Hi all
Sorry that my vocabulary wont be so pro.
I flashed yesterday EU stable rom 10.0.1.0.
Today I flashed back global 8.8.30 using twrp, wiped data and it has finish ok, but made loop boot and backed to twrp once again.
then flashed 9.5.13.0 global, ended OK, didn't boot well and backed me to recovery screen.
by ADB I tried to go back to TWRP and it boot to "the system has been destroyed".
Nothing i do not help, by info with ADB looks like the bootlouder is closed some how.
I cannot open in since it is writing me that the account not connected to the to the phone, and i cannot do anything since the phone is not going up.
any ideas?

if this is a Chinese version phone, you need to flash the region fix, and also the dm-verity disabler after the ROM and also wipe DATA.

If you don't have TWRP anymore, and MIflashtool isn't working, then if your phone is still unlocked, flash the TWRP again through fastboot. If not, i'm not sure.

Yep, everywhere I've seen MIUI 10 10.x stable have ARB. It's the reason I haven't flashed it, as I read before..
TLDR: I tried installing AEX rom and I bricked my mi9, getting it in a fastboot loop. Flashed a bunch of things and now I think my firmware is messed up. Help.
First I flashed TWRP, then I flashed the AEX rom and gapps, but phone got in bootloop, then I tried just flashing the ROM and it worked. After I flashed gaps it got into bootloop again.
Then I read the instructions from the AEX thread and I flash the recommended Firmware file (v9.6.13), and the flash failed.
I wiped everything, reflashed the ROM without gapps, and at restart the phone. Got stuck in fastboot.
Tried reinstalling TWRP with no success. Tried flashing MIUI with their flash tool but it didn't ended the flash procedure even after 20 minutes...
I tried to directly boot the recovery image (TWRP) and I was surprised that the phone booted in MIUI, but wifi wasn't working. Did not test anything else. Restarting the phone got me again in fastboot loop.
I tried again flashing with mi flash tool and this time was succesfull.
Then I tried to flash a MIUI eu ROM and got the phone again in fastboot loop. Flash was succesfull, but when restarting TWRP said that there is no OS installed.
I decided to give up and flash global MIUI 10.2.13 back.
But now my phone has some problems. Auto brightness doesn't work and video recording freezes the camera app when image stabilization is enabled.
So, is there a way to reflash 10.2.13 rom firmware using mi flash tool?
I suppose the first Firmware flash that was unsuccessful messed the firmware up...
Or how do I get my phone back to factory status...
I suppose v9.6.13 firmware is China developer and was an upgrade and that I should downgrade to 10.2.13 rom firmware.
Or flashing developer global will solve the problem? And how do I do that?

Hmm, so where are you at now!? Have you got twrp installed? and 10.2.13 but with issues, right? or are you on stock recovery?
Current status: I managed to flash fastboot global ROM in mi flash, and stock recovery.
But the firmware is messed up.
Camera doesn't work well. And from normal use I saw that Gyroscope, light sensor and compas aren't working at all...
Phone reboots itself and I can't unlock it because pattern isn-t recognized anymore, untill I reset it by long pressing the power button.
From CIT menu gyro, light sensor and compass are definitely not working.
Would flashing latest firmware from TWRP be a possible solution? My bootloader is still unlocked and I can flash TWRP.
Or should I format vendor partition first? And then flash firmware?
Fastboot flash did solved firmware problem.

To be honest I'm not entirely sure if it'll help, but, I'd put global stable flashable zip on otg, then I'd flash twrp again, boot to twrp using buttons not commands, wipe cache, dalvik, vendor, system, data, internal. Then format data, swiping with confirmation 'yes'. Then flash latest global again over the clean device from otg. You could try using mauronfrio's twrp 3.3.1-35 instead of the one you linked get it here. That's just what I'd try, can't say whether it'll help and no guarantees it'll fix anything... Let us know the outcome bud.
You can download the latest flashable rom from here
I can't see why ur sensors etc aren't working anymore, it's got to be all software related me thinks
Do not try to reboot after wipes, you'll have nothing installed

Correct me if I am wrong, but flashing a stock MIUI zip form twrp won't work.
Or you are saying that I should flash a xiaomi eu ROM?

Someone said that there is the posibility that mi flash didn't flash persist partition and that I should try to force flash it.

And shouldn't mi flash reflash everything?

Hold tight bud, just checking. I remember doing that - and the stock rom flashes but you no longer have twrp, it flashes the whole system/vendor including recovery. But hang on 'cos I might be recalling my pocophone F1 for that proceedure. The reason I suggest to reflash twrp is simply to have better control over a fully clean wipe, before progressing to flash rom again. Like I say, hang on just checking...

Yes, miflash should flash everything, but you say you started flashing other stuff when it all went wrong, so I'm really not sure what's happened to ur device. Hang on anyway, still checking on the flashable zip ..

Nope, I think you're right, it was the poco I was getting muddled with - haven't had to do this in while (poco has flashable stock zips somewhere...). It is possible to do it with lazy flasher, but that may start getting messy again. Have you tried re-flashing fastboot? Can you wipe much at all in the stock recovery - again, I can't remember.
Failing that, yeah, I'd seriously consider flashing twrp and flashing mi-globe or eu rom. I prefer mi-globe (although currently using beast rom) over eu simply because you can customize it more on the website. Though, I wouldn't recommend pre-rooting it. Root after, if need be. Any way, we'll cross that bridge later... For now just try to re-flash

I'm pretty sure you won't be able to wipe much in stock recovery, but just wipe what you can and try and re-flash fastboot. Don't flash twrp yet. You could try downloading again the fastboot file, in case of any corruption. Hopefully on the second flash all will be well. But that said, it should've been OK on the first flash :/ in theory
just flashed xiaomi eu rom and everything seems to work now. All sensors are working.
I had to disable signature check, and i got an mounting /system error -> got the message that is installed without changes... whatever that means
And now in TWRP, I think, my files are encrypted without enabling it.
Will try other roms later.

It happens with or without Sim card. Any Sim I insert does the same. And yes, both Sim slots have an IMEI.

This is strictly a software issue, you have encrypted, deleted or corrupted the images in your persist partition.
Flashing a rom will do absolutely nothing to fix this issue.
This issue is resolved 3 different ways, i have several posts on this. The absolute best/fastest method is to restore persist images from a TWRP recovery backup.
You need to use one of these versions of TWRP : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79908339&postcount=116
method 1
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79824537&postcount=2
Note use an older fastboot version of Global stable if you own a Global device. if you own a Chinese device, use the chinese fastboot rom...Not recovery rom it has to be a fastboot rom and the older versions have the persist images separated,
Global Rom with persist images : https://xiaomifirmware.com/download/11879/
China Rom with persist images : https://xiaomifirmware.com/download/12207/
Method 2 : Restore persist images from a TWRP backup, do you have one?
Method 3 : Use the flashbat method of restoring your phone, the phone must be linked to your Miui account.
Let me know if any of these steps helped. Relax, this will definitely be resolved.

This issue is resolved 3 different ways, i have several posts on this. The absolute best/fastest method is to restore persist images from a TWRP recovery backup.
You need to use one of these versions of TWRP : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79908339&postcount=116
method 1

Note use an older fastboot version of Global stable if you own a Global device. if you own a Chinese device, use the chinese fastboot rom...Not recovery rom it has to be a fastboot rom and the older versions have the persist images separated,

Method 2 : Restore persist images from a TWRP backup, do you have one?
Method 3 : Use the flashbat method of restoring your phone, the phone must be linked to your Miui account.
Let me know if any of these steps helped. Relax, this will definitely be resolved.

Tried all methods above except restoring a backup as I didn’t have one. No dice.

You have missed out some info for me to help.
1. On twrp ? Version ?
2. Have you tried wipe / format data in twrp ?
3. Try to install a stable version of global rom
4. After done all the above and still the same issue then enter engineering mode and look at the network settings there and report here.

1. Twrp 3.3.1-0607 and also tried 3.2.4 and Orange fox on 3.3.0
2.Yes, many many times. I have to format data (typing in yes) everytime I switched from Chinese dev to Xiaomi.eu when I flashed via the Xiaomi flash tool. (Bat flash method)
3. Have tried installing every Dev, China Stable, Global Dev (old ofc), and Global Stable along with all of their respective persist partitions. Even tried flashing persist+ROM in EDL.
4. Pics below. All pics below are with the SIM card removed. It has been for a week without SIM card.
I'm pretty sure I'm screwed. Random reboots as well.

Sorry to hear that you are having difficulty.
Unfortunately backup persist images are unique to your device., and need to match up exactly with the device hardware. So do not attempt to restore someone else's TWRP persist backup it absolutely will NOT resolve your issue.
Try this method , it should finally resolve your issue, if it fails try it again and if if it fails. Start over , reread and try again.

hello
how can i apply the third method ( Use the flashbat method of restoring your phone, the phone must be linked to your Miui account. )?
and if my brother has the same phone ( mi 8) can i use his pack up?
Hi guys,
I was on "xiaomi.eu_multi_MI11Pro_MI11Ultra_V12.5.20.0.RKACNXM_v12-11.zip" (rooted with Magisk and with 2-3 modules), this Rom is from end of 2021 so I decided that I have to move on and give a try to "xiaomi.eu_multi_MI11Pro_MI11Ultra_V13.0.13.0.SKACNXM_v13-12".
First I decided to update my TWRP. I can't remember but I think that it was the one included in the v12.5.20 Xiaomi.EU Rom. I wanted to install "twrp-3.6.2_12-v5.1_A12-star-skkk.img".
First I removed PIN + Fingerprint and then restarted in Fastboot and booted with this kkk TWRP with "fastboot boot twrp.img", then I installed it with "Install Recovery Ramdisk", then rebooted to recovery (it was still ok) and finally rebooted to system ... and now it reboots in Fastboot.
I still have access to TWRP and I can see my files, so before I mess up more I'm backuping some files but it's f#£%ing slow .
What step(s) should I do to make the rom work again ?
I think of flashing Magisk-uninstaller (new TWRP told me at the end of installation that root was lost and that I had to re install it). Maybe there is something remaining from Magisk ?
Then, I think I'll flash "xiaomi.eu_multi_MI11Pro_MI11Ultra_V12.5.20.0.RKACNXM_v12-11.zip" again.
Do you have any advice ?
Thanks in advance.
P.S. : I know that I should post on Xiaomi.EU but I've tried to create an account on their forum since many years and it's insane but I used ~10 emails and I always have been detected as a bot or spam .

Always unroot before.
2 options:
Xiaomi eu rom v12 or 13, but you will need to format the data before flashing
Twrp/wipe/format data/type yes/reboot twrp.
If errors(red lines)repeat the operation.
Or use Miflash https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/flash-tool-guide-use-xiaomi-flash-tool.4262425/
In both cases you will lose your data.
You can try a backup with the twrp (without guarantee).

Thank you for your answer.
So nothing special, just flash and format data before if it's a different one ?
The simplest would be to flash again the Rom I was on ?

Of course but my answer was along the lines that it wouldn't work.

Flashed old Rom and everything is fine
So I'm back to the beginning .
Now I don't know how to move to last Xiaomi.EU.
Since kkk TWRP was ok to flash the old ROM, do you think it'll be ok to install last Xiaomi.EU ? Or maybe there is a better/safer TWRP to do it ?
And thx again for your support
