Hello MIUIers,
This Guide is for flashing any MIUI Rom (Global/China Developer/Global Beta Build/Stable ROM) on Redmi 2 using MI Flash and Fastboot ROM(Fastboot Method).
FAQs
Q.What's the difference between Recovery ROM and Fastboot ROM?
A: 1) To flash Recovery ROM, you just need to put the ROM file into your device's SD card root directory, and flash it in Recovery mode. Flashing Recovery ROM will not wipe your user data or the files in internal storage.
A: 2) To flash Fastboot ROM, you'll need to connect your device to a computer, and use ROM flashing tools. You can choose different fastboot script to decide whether to wipe data or not
Q: When should I flash Recovery ROM, and when to flash Fastboot ROM?
A: Normally you just need to flash Recovery ROM for regular update. If you want to wipe data to solve some bugs/issues etc., you should flash Fastboot ROM.
Caution:**This ROM and thread is Only applicable for 2014818, 2014811, 2014813 and 2014817 Redmi 2/PRIME LTE models... ​
Everything is possible in FASTBOOT
Pre-requisite:
At least 50% charged phone
USB cable to connect your phone
A working PC running on Windows OS
Developer option must be enabled. To do this Settings>>About phones >> tap on the MIUI Version 7 times
USB debugging must be enabled. To enable it Settings >> Additional Settings>>Developer Options >> enable USB Debugging.
Note: Take a backup before you proceed. To take backup Settings–>Additional Settings–> Backup & reset –>Local Backup-→Backup. The backup will be store on Internal Storage–>MIUI -> Backup–>All Back up. Copy and store the backup files on your PC. This backup file will be needed if you wants to go back of previous version.

My Bad, my phone is a Mi 3 not a Redmi 3. So i post on the right forum..

I'm Chinese, the first image is saying, "To start android, please input password"
the second image, "your inputted password is correct, but the data recovery failed, data lost, to use your phone, reset to factory settings"
for the last image, the "fastboot oem edl"
should be "fastboot reboot-edl"
you can try it again

account verification was included only in newer miui version
flash twrp install miui 7 or 6 then upgrade to miui 8 .
MIUI version 8 require new partition table may be thats why you cant flash older miui version like miui 5 you are flashing version 34 and version 34 in global version is miui 5
so solution is flash twrp flash miui version global version or miui v8 using miflash (but then again it will ask for phone verification in miui 8)
best sol. use miui 7 global / xiaomi.eu version or any custom rom like cyanogenmod aosp

Hello, Xiaomi MI3 doens't have Emergency Download Mode, you have to reboot to fastboot (using volume down and power). After that you have to use MiFlash 20151028 and download FASTBOOT Rom for ur xiaomi (idk TD-SCDMA or WCDMA version), and flash it via MiFlash. If it will not solve your problem, we will try other thing.
PS: If you can't download it (the MiFlash) I could post it here. Newer version of MiFlash will give errors on Mi3.

[GUIDE] Unbrick your Nokia 5

If your phone got stuck in 900E mode
-Hold Vol Up + Power for a few times to boot the phone to recovery mode
-Flash the ORIGINAL boot, system partitions and detele the data and cache partitions (choose flash image in TWRP for img files) (I used this yadi.sk/d/rcNFNnPp3MhtMe )
-Flash SuperSU in the recovery to patch the boot partition then reboot
If your phone got bootloop-ed
-Hold Vol Up + Power until the screen turns off then release
-Open OnlineUpdateTool (patched) and load your firmware in nb0 format
-Plug in your phone, it'll reboot to download mode
-Proceed to reflash the firmware
If your phone got stuck in 9008 mode
-Use @heineken78 's nb0 tools ( drive.google.com/file/d/0B3Wy4Ok3qGszaXhzM29YOEhrMW8 ) to extract the nb0 firmware
-Take the rawprogram, patch0 and firehose file with images in the rawprogram (search with the keyword filename) and put it inside a folder, rename according to the xml
-Load rawprogram, patch0 and firehose in QFIL, one by one to boot the phone
-You can use the firmware above for QFIL
Credits
@hikari_calyx for the method
@Quixote78 for OST and patch
These methods should also work on Nokia 2, 6, 7 (Although firmware isn't available for Nokia 7) and 8 in theory.
And, you can use EDL cable to force enter Qualcomm 9008, which doesn't work on Nokia 8. (Nokia 7 may not work either)

Password is 123
For stock recovery, power off the phone and plug in with OnlineUpdateTool open (rom loaded) and proceed to reflash
For TWRP, flash boot and system, delete data and cache then SuperSU root it

Have you installed it?

I don't really understand the thread
Help me. I don't think mine is bootloop because once it shows the Powered by android logo, after a few seconds it shut itself down. I've tried multiple methods like wipe data factory reset and installing OTA zips in the recovery mode but no luck at all. Is there any way to solve this problem?
I would really appreciate all the help.

If you use TWRP, reflash the ORIGINAL system.img and boot.img. Otherwise, reboot to bootloader

Device stuck in TWRP

Hello,
I am not sure if I am right here, because I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro Global, but here is no place for this model.
Besides that I have a small, I guess it is a big problem, with my Phone.
I tried to install the clean version of MiUI with the XiamiTool V2 ... but the whole Story started one week ago:
About one week ago I tried to reinstall my Phone with the XiamiTool V2. Everything looked good, it found my model and even told me that it can download the custom rom automatically. But I had the 7 day lock. So I waited.
Yesterday I tried it again. But the tool was not shown the custom rom anymore. It didn't even find the correct TWRP.
After a bit research I found the codename joyeuse for my phone. I downloaded the TWRP and custom rom for it, gave it to the tool and it worked.
But then ... my phone booted only into TWRP. The tool did not recognize my phone.
After a bit of google I find the Xiaomi Flash Tool. But the tool tells me that my device and rom version are missmatching. Now I am stuck and don't know what to do.
/Edit:
I just checked online which phone I have:

Are you frozen in a black screen?

Now I was able to bring back my phone to the original ROM. The flash_all.sh works for me great.
But how do I install the clean xiaomi.eu version?
I tried this video, but it still keeps rebooting into TWRP.

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
