Hey, I have a problem with my Redmi 2 version 2014813 and I can only access TWRP, whenever I try to flash any compatible ROM I get the errors I attached in the picture.
Also when I try to flash via fastboot it fails --> fastboot flash partition gpt_both0.bin --> FAILED to write partition
Any idea how to try to fix this? You think your scrip for the partition table can help?

I tried many different ways to flash any ROM into it without any success. I read somewhere in the miui eu forums that the redmi2 pro had a stupid software update that was not meant for one type of emmc and broke it. Someone who contacted the Chinese support got his/her phone swapped or money back.
I still have the phone in same condition hoping to manage one day to replace the emmc chip. I think that will fix the issue.
EDIT: original post:
"Bad news - Redmi 2 the series 2014813 has faulty NAND memory. After 1 to 1.5 year of operation the memory dies. First warning is "App stopped working" message. Then the phone dies and after rebooting you see just the Mi logo.
Flashing new ROM usualy fixes this problem and phone works for 1-2 months without problems. Then the fault apears again and it is end for the phone. You can enter fastboot mode, TWRP, but there is no was how to write any data to internal memory. Fastboot, TWRP nor MiFlash do not work because this is a hardware problem. The only way is replacing NAND memory, but this is extremely complicated task." source: http://en.miui.com/thread-268891-3-1.html

Installation by MIUI Flash Tool is going on forever

Hello, my phone is stuck in Fastboot mode (rebooting does not work, it will always boot into fastboot mode) so I just followed this guide to flash a new ROM: https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2
But I am wondering, why the installation is still going on after over 10min. - What is wrong?

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

After trying it again:

It is just stuck forever and I do not know why, I do not get out of fast boot mode and I really do not know what to do now.
Like doesn't the "status" say something what is wrong here? I cannot identefy it, but has anyone enough experience with it and maybe experienced my issue already?

Try flash non-official rom via recovery (twrp). After successful flash, launch system. Then, try flash latest stable via fastboot (do not use FLASH-AND-LOCK, use it only after successfully flashing like flash, check if everything is ok and then flash it again and lock).

I cannot enter recovery, I am stuck in a Fast boot loop. The phone won't let me get into recovery mode.

So flash TWRP in fastboot mode.
And you could try to flash another ROM because "echo Missmatching image and device"

The name of your directory path should not include any space. Replace the spaces with underscores, dashes or just remove them.
From your screenshot, you selected clean all and lock. Try unlocking the bootloader again.

Thanks, but the thing is I fixed all those things already as my last picture shows: https://img.xda-cdn.com/5kNbM-6ZvzA8Jvc_Fc-qUwGIG-Q=/https://i.imgur.com/ZOhtier.png
@Tomcar do you mean 'fastboot flash recovery name.img' ? That does not work, it still boots me into fastboot mode everytime I try to get into recovery mode.

Shure, because you are locked again

I fixed the problem. I just downloaded a newer version of Mi Flash and now I have the newest version installed. So the plan is to install a new custom rom now.
Why is wipe system not recommended to do?
And do I have to "wipe internal storage"?

I really do not understand.. Now as I sad above I have the newest version installed and the phone is unlocked too!
When I go into fastboot mode and do "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" it works, but when I boot into recovery mode with volume UP and power button the old recovery is still there.
What am I missing out here?

Try after "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"
"fastboot boot recovery twrp.img"
Once you do this, the recovery should stay permanently there.
Dont know why, but this was working for me.
(I hate this phone, too many strange things with it)

On my Mi 9, what I did to make TWRP stick was to press vol up + power right after flashing the recovery, to boot into TWRP.

Thanks, this did not work somehow the boot command did not get recognized: "C:\Mini ADB and Fastboot>fastboot boot recovery twrp.img
fastboot: error: cannot load 'recovery': No such file or directory"

I was facing the same issue. I stopped the flashing. Copied manually the recovery.img file that came with the flash tool, and flashed the original recovery manually, cause i had it on a customer recovery. Then i tried again, it showed a more meaningful error, basically the path of the folder we're flashing can't have spaces. moved the folder under C: and tried again.. all worked!!

Help me to fix my problem

Hello

hey guy, don’t bother with your head after flashing the official firmware and that’s all.
avoid brick. otherwise I had a hard brick for such a situation, I had to turn in the service one and they did it to me, remember our brick will not brick in any way until there is no way out.

Question Looking for soemone to help me to solve Fastboot look up

Hello,
Yesterday i tried ton install mui 12.5.4 as i was really desappointed by the photo performance of my MI 11 Ultra compared to my Mate 40 pro, but i think that i made a mistake, as i am unable to boot it, it is stuck to Fastboot.
And i made another big mistake, i did made a dsavec of my original rom. As i bought it in France , i think that it is a european one.
1) Is there a way to now wich ROM was installed on a phone using the serial number ?
2) How can i install the EU Rom ?
a) I used the method described on this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...mi-eu-rom-for-xiaomi-mi-11-pro-ultra.4260617/ buyt i am affraid that it was only for phones who had a CN rom , i realised that after flashing my phone with the fasboot method...
Please, can someone help me to identify my original ROM and to install it ?
b) I tried that method, https://c.mi.com/fr/miuidownload/detail?guide=2 but i have an error message saying that "Missmatching image and device"... Maybe at point 2) a) i because i had a EU rom and flashed with a rom working only for CN devices ?
If needed i can pay for the help.
Hoping to hear from you guys as i really need my phone on monday.
Best regards

1. I'm not sure you can easily find which ROM you had installed but it's likely to be the global version to my knowledge.
2. I would try to follow the EU ROM instructions again, making sure you follow each step correctly. Look at the post, they give 2 methods, one is using fastboot. It works with the old versions of the rom from before there was this thing called TWRP available for our device. The other method is at the bottom of the post. It's the TWRP method, that should work with the newer versions of the rom, most likely the one you downloaded.
I don't think you need to try to flash your original rom. The EU ROM is supposed to work on both variants and since you have already downloaded that, just try flashing the EU ROM until it works.
Possible mistakes would be, you didn't install TWRP and tried to install a rom that was built for it using just fastboot, maybe fastboot wasn't run as admin, maybe you didn't format correctly etc.
If you really wanna flash the stock ROM, this thread has them, with install method specified https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/miui-updates-tracker-mi-11-pro-ultra-star-mars.4263135/

Thank you for your answers, i am going to try using your last link.

Yours should be either Global or EEA if I'm not mistaken

I tried both of them and I am still stuck in fastboot mode when the phone try to reboot... I think that i really need someone to do it for me...

Do you have TWRP installed? Did you use it to flash? Maybe that would do it.

Try the fastboot version of the EU Rom. I had the same problem. Solved it for me

Do a fastboot flash (your phone is unlocked right?) Using miflash tool. Selecting "clean all" it will format everything.

Thank you guys, but the phone is still stuck on fastboot.
The phone is unlocked
I haven't TWR installed.
I am using Miflash tool, but a old version, as the latest one show error messages regarding drivers.
In Miflash, i choose "Clean All" option (and when i have an error message regarding missmatching of image and device, i delete some code in the clean all section of the rom.
I tried with many ROMS :
EEA : 2021-05-18 | Stable Fastboot | V12.5.2.0.RKAEUXM
Global : 2021-04-17 | Stable Fastboot | V12.0.2.0.RKAMIXM
I am going to try that one :
EEA :2021-05-29 | Stable Fastboot | V12.5.3.0.RKAEUXM

Or download the "info.rar", extract the "info.bat" into the folder where fastboot.exe is. Then double click that "info.bat"
Make screenshot of the command window. Need to know if your bootloader is still unlocked.
The easiest thing is just bring your phone to Xiaomi repair center and tell them to revive your phone. If you have warranty coverage, they should be able to.
Check your country Xiaomi policy for the warranty rules.

Question Reflashing stock ROM on bootlooping device

Hi.
Bought this phone 4 months ago and it went into a boot loop, where it would only show the battery empty icon. Yesterday, I tried turning it on again and noticed, that it's stuck at the Redmi - Powered by Android" screen. From this screen, I can enter fastboot. See this video:
VID_20230417_194410.mp4
drive.google.com
I've read that there are a couple of options for reflashing this device:
- aks someone with the authorized Xiaomi account to reflash stock rom using the MiFlash tool (no bootloader unlock needed)
- put the device somehow into ETL mode and reflash stock rom using the MiFlash tool (no bootloader unlock needed)
I've tried contacting someone, who for #1, but they aren't willing to help, for some reason (I'm wiling to pay). For #2, I'd have to open up the device, which I'd like to avoid doing.
Would anybody know of any other options for fixing this?
Thank you in advance!

okay, which version of MIUI are you running?
first get the fastboot rom of the version your phone supports , i recommend the global version fastboot rom , because it works and its stable and u get your updates
download this fastboot rom first
Temporary file download page
miuirom.org
and I will give you the MI flash tool working version at like 6 hours after, Ill post the remaining steps after you download this , btw, you will get a .tgz file , when u download the Rom, thats the one you need

If you can boot into fastboot, then it is already enough.
Now, I suppose your bootloader is still locked
You need to download a MIUI ROM from "EEA", from any trusted website, and remember to download the "Fastboot" ROM to flash it (my favorite is mifirm.net, it downloads faster)
Install MiFlashPro - attached at the end of the thread
Open it up, and you will be greeted with this.
Click on the "Mi Flash" tab, as it is the only one we need.

You will be greeted with this window now:
After you have done downloading your ROM, extract it to any place.
If MiFlash does not recognise the directory you have extracted in, move it to C:\. Not any external drive, your main one
Now click on the "select" button box, go to your ROM directory, and simply select its folder
Boot your device into fastboot (PWR + VOL-), click on "refresh" button box and your device serial number should appear on the first line.
Now simply click "flash" and let it do its job for 10 to 15 minutes. It will reboot automatically.
If you dont succeed, please read this thread:

You will require BROM and to bypass and to flash via SP Tool.

For #2, I'd have to open up the device, which I'd like to avoid doing.

You have either got confused, or being scammed
Newer MTK devices do not require the opening of the device. I suppose you have been probably confused with a Qualcomm Snapdragon based service, that does require the opening, so you can access EDL mode and flash your phone into life, or someone just put up the Redmi Note 10 5G and is a scam, also, on MTK, you do not need to pay for a authorized Mi account. On MTK, it is easily bypassable due to BROM

Thank you both.
I put ran MiFlashPro, pointed it towards the downloaded eea stock rom file and attempted to flash it, but got this error message:
So I presume this is due to locked bootloader? I'll try to follow the second link.

I actually managed to enter recovery mode and do a factory reset. Currently setting it up and plan on updating it.

Good to hear you got sorted. I basically bricked my phone last week (only 3 weeks old ) after trying to switch from MIUI 13 Global to EEA. I managed to get it into BROM mode and used MTK Auth Bypass which allowed me to use Chimera Tools to flash the phone again as nothing else seems to work with a locked bootloader. Currently running MIUI 14 with root and magisk optimisations (blur/high end tweaks, MIUI monet etc) and loving it! Just need a way to bypass Play Integrity API for Google Wallet
