On investigating the Xiaomi MI Flash tool there are 2 conflicting statements:
1/ Xiaomi MiFlash Tool is a flashing tool developed by Xiaomi Inc. This Xiaomi tool allows the users to flash the Stock MIUI 8, MIUI 9, MIUI 10 etc. all the older and latest versions of MIUI ROM on any Mi or Redmi Phone.
then
2/ The MiFlash Pro tool only supports devices powered Qualcomm Chipset.
As my phone has a MediaTek chipset I assume the Xiaomi tool will not work. In that case how does that affect the other tools like Magisk, do they support MediaTek chipsets?
I have unlocked the bootloader but I am now unsure how to proceed? Any help appreciated, I wish to install the stock global ROM over the Chinese ROM.
The official Miflash tool supports all Xiaomi, Qualcomm and MediaTeck devices.
You can also flash a Fastboot rom without using Miflash, use the .bat scripts included in the extracted folder of the TGZ file in Fastboot mode.

(IMHO) MiFlash Pro is no official tool, you don't care about chipset on official Xiaomi MiFlash.

Hello,
I don't consider myself an expert but not even a beginner, I tried to install the global developer on the mi9 as on mix2s, mix 2, redmi note 6 pro etc ... But as you already know from Mi9 and also with Redmi note 7 they introduced the rom EEA.
So to install the global you need to unlock the bootloader. I unlocked it and tried to install the developer first with Mi tool, but it started in fastboot and from there I couldn't install anything with Mi flash. I had to install the EEA again.
I tried to install the global stable directly with Mi flash, but it gave me an error again.
I tried to install the TWRP, it worked, but I didn't trust installing the developer without a wipe and then on reboot it started again in fastboot and I had to reluctantly go back to EEA with Mi flash.
Now I would like to know if there is a precise procedure for flashing the global developer on a Mi9 with the EEA. Thanks in advance for the help
Ive been trying to flash a global rom to my xiaomi Mi 11 pro for some time.I have flashed twrp but obviously it doesnt stick around if the rom flash does not work. I cant seem to find one on the latest Venus firmware, every time i attempt to flash the latest available on xiaomi dot EU it comes up with the firmware is star/mars and your device is venus. i attempted to flash back to china recovery https://xiaomirom.com/en/download/mi-11-venus-weekly-21.9.29/ and this bricked my device.Unsure if its trying to boot the wrong partition a/b but then i dont know what im talking about really. Can anyone offer some advice on this?
As a side ote, the phone does not turn on, connect to pc, boot to recovery or reset mode.
Seems to me you flashed firmware for Mi 11 Pro, and you have Venus which is Mi 11, and this is Mi 11 forum. ? Also you don't need twrp to flash official firmware, global or EEA version.
You can find firmwares here.. mifirm.net or here c.mi.com

Mi 11 Pro is Mars and share the same ROM than Star (Mi 11 Ultra) but it's NOT Venus (Mi 11).
TWRP is the same for Mars/Star. Anyway your Mi 11 Pro has nothing to do with a Mi 11 Venus.
The only way is to flash the fastboot CN Official here
But apparently you can't access fastboot mode ?
i have no idea what version the device is on, is there a solution ?
I'm sorry to hear that. The MIUI update from 12.0.5 to 12.0.9 (EEA) bricked my Redmi Note 9, my only solution was to use the Mi Flash and Wipe Storage. I lost around 30GB of photos as the brick occurred right after I came home from the vacation. The best solution would be unlocking the bootloader to at least access the custom recovery and backup everything through USB to PC. Another problem is the MediaTek chipset, harder to find custom ROMs and recoveries. Maybe using the SP Flash Tool would remove the "Unlock this device by the previous account" lock. I found this thread talking about this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/redmi-note-9-locked-i-need-help.4234901/post-84507905
i cant unlock bootloader cuz i lost the connected mi account
If you can enter in fastboot, just flash the stock rom again.

how ? the mi flash tool gives "error erasing boot" , that means the bootloader is locked right ?
Try to flash manually.
Erasing is not required, you just need to flash.
If bootloader is locked, you can flash signed images only.
All images came from stock miui, are signed.
so i only have to flash stock rom with sp flash tool without any editing ?
where do i get the right stock rom ?
You can flash it using fastboot too, if you can enter in fastboot.

This is a random error.
You need to keep trying.
So I flashed the pixelexperienceplus rom on my Redmi note 9 (Merlin) a few days ago.
Everything was working fine except the Volte on my networks were not working so I decided to roll back to the original rom (MIUI 13 stock) and flashed the fastboot Rom of it. It then showed sucess on the MI FLASH TOOL and device booted and stuck on the redmi logo and not going anywhere. (I have all the adb drivers and all installed on my pc as well as on the phone)
Did I do something wrong in my flashing process. How do I fix it? I'd really appreciate if you all can help me with that
Could you post the Miflash log?

Tried the above and again greeted with the sucess result but the phone is still stuck on Redmi Logo and not booting
Also before it was showing sucess even with long names and outside the miflash folder. But the phone was not booting
with the above method with shorter names and inside folder it is no difference for me.....

Tried the SP flash tool and the MTK auth Bypass at first it was not working because of MTK driver issues but later I installed the drivers and flashed
The phone is working now
Thanks for your Help and Time
I have a device
Mi 11t pro
I reset EFS file without backup.
The device no longer works and it is restarting in recovery mode
I downloaded several Xiaomi ROMs, including the modified EU ROM
And nothing benefited
Download custom recovery and custom ROM
So the device works but without lmie
Maintenance in my country told me the only solution is to remove the device and remove the resistance
But I do not want to disassemble the device now
Is there a way to make the device work without imei? On the official xiaomi rom? Because modified ROMs contain many errors and consume the battery
Is there a way to recover EFS files? Does anyone have a backup copy of the EFS file for the same type of my device so that I can restore it, perhaps my device will work again
Have you tried flashing this rom with Miflash?
