Hi, I have a MI5 with chinese ROM...
I've unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP rocovery and rooted it.
Problem start when i updated using the built in apps. And now i am in this MI logo screen with the 2 dots flashing... 20-30minutes.
I've tried wiping to factory reset, wipe dalvik > reboot ... no go
I've tried miflash the fastboot rom and Miflash showed "The operation completed successfully." > auto reboot ... now is 25 minutes into the boot.... still no go
I'm panicking now.... Please help
I forgot to mention, the file system is decrypted.
Now i cant go into twrp. there's a screen showing a phone with cable. I still can go fastboot though
Help please
Just to share, I'm able to get it boot again.
Instead of using "Flash All except Storage" in Miflash, I selected "Flash All".
After completion of the flashing, it took around 7-8 minutes for the first boot before system GUI came on.
I think it may be due to SuperSU that i have installed earlier.
But now i cannot boot into recovery, should i fastboot flash TWRP again or revert to stock recovery? Please help on how to do it.
Can i install SuperSU by using fastboot?
it makes more sense now.
After flashing of developer rom, the phone is encrypted again and recovery is reverted to stock which i think will only works with updater.

Flash stock image
Similar problem in another thread I just posted to. I am having similar problems.
If after flashing stock then flash custom recovery to be able to go into recovery ?
Hello, I need to know what version of firmware you were, I think, will have to increase the bootloader to install again and there TWRP, flash any ROM

Make sure you're using TWRP 2.8.6
Do all your wipes, reboot again into recovery, go to mount and make sure system isn't checked, go to install and try to flash again.

Hi all,
I'm trying to install Cyanogenmod following techbeasts.com tutorial but I'm stuck at the first step : installingTWRP (or CWM).
I followed precisely all the instructions (I allow debugging mode, I installed samsung drivers, I start the phone in download mode, I connect it with OEM cable, I start Odin, it sees the phone, I select the tar.md5 file.), Odin confirms it went well (green box writing "PASS"), but when I try to boot the recovery mode by holding Volume up + Home + Power it seems to boot another recovery software that doesn't offer a backup or a flashing options: "Android system recovery <3e>"
Can't get it to run TWRP or CWM... Can't install the supersu package.
What I'm I doing wrong? Can someone help?
Try to untick Auto Reboot option from odin. I had similiar issues and reason was if you have updated your phone with OTA-updates then it installs some kind of backup script. When your phone boots again after you had installed twrp it installs stock recovery during boot. So untick autoreboot, flash twrp and force boot straight to recovery without letting phone boot to OS. You can also try to pull battery out, put it back and then boot into recovery mode.
Sorry my english and try to understand.

Great it worked, thanks a lot !
But now I'm stuck on the next step : flashing CM11
I rooted my phone, booted TWRP, chose "install>cm11" (the zip downloaded from nova fusion) but it says "failed" after a few sec...
I would post my TWRP log but the forum prevents me doing so...
Well I get few things that you could check first.
1. Do factory reset for example from twrp. Factory reset is needed/recommended before installing custom rom from offical OS.
2. Sometimes just installing fails almost immediately if you have ticked check zip signature.
After you have installed new rom clear cache and davilk cache just in case. I'll do that every time if I install or update custom roms. Also don't forget to install right gapps package after you have installed rom.
Sorry my english and try to understand.
ok just realized i downloaded the wrong cm image (the odin one, not the recovery)
everything running smooth now
Okay happy to hear that everything is fine now. Happy playing with custom roms
I was on MUI9 Nougat 7.1.2. Unlocked my bootloader properly. Wanted to try out Google Camera. So I searched the forum, found TWRP 3.0.3 Installer. Installed the TWRP successfully. Then I thought of installing the new TWRP, so flashed TWRP 3.2.1 from the previous TWRP. When I booted back to Recovery, saw the Encryption Error. I never set any password. Got tensed. Searched the forums again for solution. Found that I have to format the data. So formatted the data, flashed LazyFlasher. Did not know what else to do, tried booting and got stuck in Bootloop. I only have Internal Storage. And have one OTG Pendrive in case it comes handy. Downloaded Dot OS 7.1.2 and tried to install it from the OTG by booting back to TWRP, failed, it said Corrupt ZIP, but the zip file was ok. So started the process again, rebooted back to TWRP, wiped everything and this time tried to flash an old MIUI9 Recovery ROM through it, it still gave the same error, Corrupt ZIP. So basically what I have left is that I can boot into TWRP and also Fastboot is working well. But dont know how to get past this Bootloop. Someone please help. Really urgent. So tensed. :crying:
do you flash miui rom in twrp or miflash? try to flash the miui rom with miflash and see if ur phone booted up or not.

Thanks bro. Never mind. Somehow managed to flash DotOS Nougat version through TWRP 3.0.3. Now bro please tell me one thing. I wont stay at DotOS, I dont like it, just flashed it to get through the bootloop. So now I have downloaded MIUI9 8.3.22 Developer Recovery ROM. Still having TWRP 3.0.3, BL Unlocked, ADB working, Fastboot working, USB Debugging everything taken care off. Just tell me steps to flash the Developer ROM now so that I dont go into bootloop again. Please. Thanks in advance.
ummm kinda easy actually, download the miflash software, open it, it should have the select, refresh, and flash menu. click select, and navigate to your rom file (u need to download the fastboot rom version! not the recovery version, should be easy to find in google. the format should be .tgz change it to rar, extract it, it will shows another rar extract it again, it should be folder now) that folder is your rom file. now enter fastboot mode, plug ur phone, and click refresh. it will shows some number and alphabet. if the number and alphabet appears, click flash! and wait! and ur phone will boot itself
sorry for **** english
1. Go to twrp...
2. Wipe (cache, data, dalvik/cache, system)
3. flash miui 9 dev 8.3.22
4. flash lazyflasher...
Reboot..
It will take more then 5 min to start (first boot usually take that much time)
Your phone boot normally....
If you are facing TWRP Recovery Issue then update TWRP

Hello,
I tried the latest V11.0.6.0.QFAEUXM ROM but I didn't like it and so I booted into my TWRP recovery and restored the latest fullbackup I made from 2 days ago, then rebooted.
Now I'm stuck in Fastboot loop.
$ fastboot reboot
and
$ fastboot reboot recovery
... have literally no effect, still the phone is stuck in fastboot mode uppon restart.
I read in another thread "just use MiFlash tool and revert to stock rom, do everything all over to rescue your phone".
OK, fine. I start MiFlash, it asks me to unlock my phone... I click unlock. Nothing happens, I click again "try unlock again", then "no need to repeat unlock" appears, nothing happens, the usual menu with the options to flash or install TWRP are missing.
:good: really good! Just as expected. Very user friendly.
Now what?
I had twrp-3.3.1-37-cepheus-mauronofrio.img (SHA-1: A3230E7918A9E3D3D939AA8619B40E47A54F645D) as recovery and my ROM was xiaomi.eu_multi_MI9_V11.0.4.0.QFACNXM_5e64190eb9_v11-10.zip (SHA-1: 714BD02A5D52720C2733E2FDA9730EECE441AE09) before I tried to flash miui_CEPHEUSEEAGlobal_V11.0.6.0.QFAEUXM_1647340073_10.0.zip (SHA-1: BAC6307DA99F766E35A6EDBB0B74D02F73AD2782) and everything went downhill from there.
MiFlash version: miflash_unlock-en-3.5.719.27.zip
Is there more info I can provide?
EDIT / UPDATE:
I've been following the instructions from a Youtube video (links below) by the letter and now at least I'm back in a sane / stock ROM state where I can (have to) redo everything fromm the beginning.

I chose "clean all" as flash method in that XiaomiMiFlash Tool.
It will reboot into Stock ROM, in my case I chose the EU version.
From there you can activate Developer Options & USB-Debugging again and you're set to go customizing again.
Ohhh looks not amazing
Did you've tried to flash recovery via adb?

I tried:
$ fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.1-37-cepheus-mauronofrio.img
$ fastboot reboot recovery
It boots straight into Fastboot again.
I don't even know what to say at this point. I literally only wanted to restore a fullbackup. How can this possibly happen in the first place?
I'm really close to smashing this phone in 1000 pieces...

What I suggest you to do is flash the latest TWRP from Mauronofrio which is 3.3.1-52.
After successfully flashing the recovery, immediately press vol up + power button until it reboots.
Do not reboot using the command line or turn off your phone.
In TWRP, flash the xiaomi.eu ROM version that your backup is based on.
Then perform a restore from the backup that you had made.

Thanks, but I fixed it already.
As I described / updated in the OP there is a tool with which you can use some firmware roms in tgz format to flash over the fastboot state to get a "stock rom-ish" state back.
Once in the stock rom you have to go through the basic setup routine and then activate USB Debugging, then you can install TWRP, other Roms as per usual.
Trying to flash TWRp after unlocking bootloader. First time i tried it, said successful but booted to MIUI recovery
2nd time i tried said again successful, booted to TWRP, formatted data.
Phone then wouldnt reboot to TWRP. Instead it going straight to fastboot. I keep trying to flash again, every time saying successful, then it just boots to fastbooot, not recovery. Any ideas, phones dead at the minute

The best way to recover the phone in your situation is to fastboot flash MIUI.
Get the latest MIUI fastboot ROM for your phone from here
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/raphael/
Install it using this guide from the official MIUI forums
https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2
If you see a blank page on a mobile browser, set it to view in desktop mode, for this page.
Make sure in step 5 you change the option at the bottom of the Mi Flash Tool to 'clean all' before hitting the Flash button.
MIUI will restore stock recovery when it reboots, so you need to do something to fix this. Flashing Magisk or a custom ROM will automatically preserve TWRP.
If you plan to keep MIUI and do not want Magisk, then you need to flash the vbmeta patcher from here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k2...icial-twrp-xiaomi-redmi-t3944363/post79823568
You need to flash TWRP, then immediately boot into TWRP.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <path to twrp>
fastboot oem reboot-recovery
At this point you need to flash something in order to preserve TWRP (either a new custom ROM, Magisk, or the vbmeta patcher)
Cheers. You know this is all familiar. Pretty sure i had the same trouble 3 years ago with my mi mix 2
Anyway, lots of hiccups on the way along with this solution. Got to the point now where it says its flashing but it never stops.
EDIT: Bit more research, shortened the path names. Got an error. Commented out device name, got a different error. Switched to USB 2.0 port an FINALLy im back up and running.
Thank you so much for the help.
