How To Solve Find Device Storage Corrupted & Couldn't Add Fingerprint -Redmi Note 4X
Hello Everyone,
** I am writing my problem in details if that help you to diagnose my problem, and sorry if my English is not good enough..
I Purchased Redmi Note 4X around two weeks ago. Unfortunately, my device got stolen one week ago, and with the help of MI Cloud, I was able to get it back.
After getting back my phone, I found my device was flashed or reset and locked with MI cloud locker.
Then I flashed my device again with MI PC Suit and Disabled my device on MI cloud.
Since then, I found everything is working fine except following two problems.
Problem One: I am unable to add my fingerprint. Whenever I try to add one I receive following message: "couldn't add Fingerprint, try again." It should be noted here that when I try to add it, I feel 11 vibrations on my phone and see a progress of fingerprint add-on device. The message appears at 12 steps.
Problem Two: I am also getting Following Error message "find device storage corrupted your device is unsafe now error" whenever I try to locate my device through MI cloud > Find Device > Locate Device.
To Solve these problems, I tried following methods But Didn't Work for Me.
1. I made a Factory reset. (Hard & Soft)- Didn't work.
2. I updated Latest Stable Global Rom (System Update Method) - Didn't work.
3. I installed Latest Developer Global Rom ( First Boot Method) - Didn't work.
4. Cleared Wipe Cache Data, Wipe Reset in Xiaomi MIUI 8 through Mi recovery settings. - Didn't work.
** I am from Bangladesh. This device is officially not available here, So no hope for official warranty or support. You guys are my last hope. So please help me.
Any kind of help to resolve the problems will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards
Bhai same problem help me too.. Plz
Install TWRP from this link, when it asking password, press CANCEL.
Then wipe DATA, that's your factory reset
I have same problem .... Would u get any solution ?? If yes then tell me ...plz
Bro Just Unlocked bootloader .
And Flash Twrp .
And Use any custom rom
Your fingerprint will work fine .
All sensor to......
as long as the bootloader is unlocked, those features are disabled and/or you get those error messages. Reason is that the fingerprint has to be saved somewhere. Unlocking the bootloader gives people access to that storage (after all, you can get root access). The device is "unsafe" because of the unlocked state. Go to settings -> additional settings and look if the developer settings are available. There you can check if your device is unlocked.
I have installed miui 9 custom room I my lava pixel V2 and after few days my phone start rebooting it self when download a gamer or other help need
I have the same problem not able to use wifi on my redmi 4x even i have tried fastboot rom flash but not working on custom rom its working fine i dont know why.
My mi5 is stuck on this screen.
I have access to TWRP on the mi5.
It has unlocked bootloader.
Adb and mi drivers are installed.
Have access to OTG.
Can anyone kindly guide me through the simplest process here?
For recovering my phone do I have to flash global stable/developer necessarily?
I had global developer previously (miui9) to which I flashed TWRP successfully but when I was flashing the SuperSU zip, it got stuck here.
Kindly help me fix this and tell me what I did wrong to get softbricked.
I know it's in bad condition lol, I drove over it and then bought a new phone so decided to experiment with it.
Sadly it's he hardest phone to root/recover I've ever encountered.
I've played with Samsung Galaxy Alpha/Few Sony Ericsson phones and a spare Gionee M5 lite, even though they had less support I figured them out pretty easily.
So I installed a custom rom in my new k20 pro lately, and accidentally locked the device after installed the custom rom inside. Now, my device is refusing to open the new rom and stuck in redmi recovery mode. It said that "this MIUI version cant be installed on this device". I tried to unlock the phone again, but xiaomi said that it takes at least 30 days to unlock a new device. Im kinda sad and confused about this, please help.
How did you lock the bootloader with custom ROM installed?

Did you try to flash custom rom using miflash?
Hi! I have the same issue on my Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro (It was Chinese) but it came unlocked with xiaomi.eu rom.
After i installed a global rom, and google wallet nfc pay did not work, so i thought okay i will lock it then so maybe wallet would accept it, (with the eu rom it worked before) so i put the device in fastboot and used fastboot oem lock on cmd...
And from then it stucks on miui recovery 5.0 screen, and says, this miui version can't be installed on this device...
I might not enabled oem unlocking before i shut if off, but i added it to my mi account so i dont know if after a week i can maybe unlock it. But i think the other possible solution would be to sideload the original chinese stock rom, which is for M2102K1AC, Mi 11 pro, codename mars, but i couldn't find it anywhere... If someone can upload a link to it, that would be a huge help! Or any idea! thx!

HI! i got a mi 11 pro 1 year ago, and it was offically chinese, but it came unlocked with Xiaomi.eu firmware, but i could't update it via the updater app, so i searched and found the global star version and just flashed it, everything worked, only now google pay nfc didnt work, it said that its probably because of the unlocked bootloader, so i got to fastboot and in cmd i sent fastboot oem lock, and since then my phone is stuck in miui recovery 5.0 screen and says that i cannot run this firmware on the device, i tried to unlock it but failed, maybe after a week, but i think that i didnt turn on oem unlocking on the phone itself before this... So im just hoping that after a week unlocking could be done... Or my other idea is, that i could install the original chinese rom with sideload, because i managed to install another global version on it since, but the result is still the same, the only problem is that i cannot find literally anywhere a mars codenamed firmware...

Anyone who might have the same situation, i found a simple, but effective solution, not sure if it works on every xiaomi device, but i will write down the steps here:
You need to use XiaomiADB, here is the download link and the description for how to use it -> https://xiaomiui.net/how-to-use-xiaomiadb-8044/ (if the page is not available, then feel free to msg me!)
For xiaomi adb, you need to go to 3rd option on the miui recovery screen, NOT THE FASTBOOT
So basically i went through the steps to “xiaomiadb sideload_miui <filename>”
And I tried to install a rom, BUT IT DIDNT ACCEPT IT!
The message was:
ERROR: This rom cannot be installed, server code -> 2001, server message -> Can't install unofficial rom
after trying 4 times all the same and: Installation of this rom via stock recovery is not allowed by Xiaomi
Says Installation failed, and then i just decided to download another rom so i PLUGGED OUT THE PHONE right after this, and went to another room to connect to wired network, to download and try a different rom... when i came back, to all my surprise, the phone was turned on, so i went to the setting dev ops and enabled bootloader unlocking, linked it to my account enabled adb and everything that is needed to flash another rom later, so then i rebooted and again, miui recovery 5.0 screen, but now i enabled unlocking, so i put the phone in fastboot, and tried MI UNLOCKER TOOL again, now it says: Please unlock 168 hours later. And do not add your account in MIUI again, otherwise you will wait from scratch.
So that means, after 7 days i wll be able to unlock it, until then, i can turn it on with the above method, in short try to sideload (copy and install) a rom to it, and then after it failed, plug it out and just wait like 10-20 maybe 30 seconds and bam your device is normally booted... I hope it helps to some of you, (i have been searching for the solution for almost a week, my other option was to pay someone who can MAYBE do it or send the phone back to china and pay the repairs, so im really happy with this method! If it helps to you, please reply so i and the others will know that it worked! Have a nice day!
Hi
I'm pretty new on rooting devices, i did some times by the past on samsung s3 or iphone 3gs , after getting our water from the well.
But now i'm stuck. I install TWRP with minimal ADB, it goes pretty well, and then i decided to flash and install Lineage 17.1 . I did it by the book, put the img file on the phone, reboot on TWRP, selected my file and voilà, it flashed it nice, but when i reboot it boot straight to TWRP . There's no ways i can get past it.
Tried to reflash, reinstall Lineage but it 's still stucked.
What can i do to fix that ? i saved my personal datas but nothing else
Thnxs
Ok don't bother
I bricked my phone .
I tried to reinstall sotck rom , i downloaded a Global version , flashed it with MiFlash and it said " this MIUI can't be installed on this device " afterwards on the stock recovery screen
Can't Unlock the bootloader , can't do anything just because of a godammn "clean and lock all" box ticked by default. F*** It . IT was supposed to be a global version of the phone, why couldn't i reinstall a global stock ROM FFS ?
I am not using MIUI. Installed HavocOs. When I was using MIUI 4gb ram was always 50% occupied. But that never was problem. Old apps were open in background. In such a phone 4gb ram is sufficient. So I would say ram management may not be good as it always occupied 50% ram even if no apps were running. But never felt that running apps were stopped. can easily keep 4-5 apps(lite apps).

If you have checked clean and lock then your phones' bootloader is probably locked. Would you mind telling current status of you phone in details? Like:
1. does the phone show "Redmi by Xiaomi" logo while boots;
2. Is there unlocked written while it boots;
3. does the phone boot properly to stock rom (or whatever rom is);
4. does it have stock recovery.
5. What version of rom you flashed?
thank you.
Hi and thxs for the reply
so in proper order
1) Yes
2)No no more Unlocked at bootscreen (because of that ******* ticked box
3) No, it can't get past recovery. I was stucked at TWRP when i install Lineage (never had the chance to taste it) , now it's stuck at stock recovery
4) All I get is the 3 choices screen ( Reboot / Wipe Data / Connect with PC MIUI (the software management))
5) After lineage , i tried to flash Global ROM but after cheecking with the IMEI , it appears that i have a chinese version . IF Only i had taken the time to double check that , i bought the phone from a legit site (Not Gearbest and stuff). I think it was based on android 9.0
I 've dl Chinese ROM , Recovery and Fastboot , Now the phone has the back open , tried the pin contact, , it's recognized as Qualcom Port 9008 , so Miflash detectsit but evertime i try to flash either i can't get the hello packet, or Miaccount says i have not the authorization

Hi
I can't unlock it because when i install the global stock rom it relocked the bootloader and now i can't access MIUI
First of all stay calm. Your phone is still not hard bricked. As you have said that your stock recovery is working. In stock recovery it shows that "This MIUI version cant be installed".
Firstly, try to unlock bootloader again with mi unlock with same account you have used. This time it would not take the waiting period.
before plugging the phone boot into fastboot then plug to pc.
Do the same as you have unlocked before.
I hope it works.

Nope I tried virtually everything from 9pm to 6am and 9am to 2pm. NO way to unlock through MiFLash or many exotic tools in cmd prompt .
I just send it to repair center this afternoon , my 2 cents it should'nt take long to unbrick as there are still recovery and fastboot as you mentionned and repair centers have way more firepower than we do average fellas ... At least I hope they have
I keep you tuned
As i promised, here are the news
Reparation center with notoriously skilled technicians has not managed to fix the stuff to this day. Bootloader locked, tried with my Mi account , they were trying the EDL mode as i was calling them for news.
The sad part is, I had already tried this so I wished them better luck. It's been a few days so should they have succeeded, they 'd have told me by now. In fact they are not experienced enough with those Xiaomi protection so they're investigating. For the futures unfortunate owner's

EDL mode to use an authorized account is needed ... so you could not make it work, nor its experienced technicians
And I bet that only Xiaomi has this authorization , Xiaomi who has no official repair center in EU nor never replies to anyone.....
3000 years later......
I promised to keep you tuned.
I finally unbricked it today, thanks to @miauthofficial , as the tech around home didn't have necessary tools (or skills .... i think tools ) . It cost me 35 bucks but they got it working, with a chinese rom though (because i have a chinese phone :/ ) , with teamviewer and a bunch of top specialist tools
I can tell out of experience that's there are NO ways to unbrick it on your own
So i don't have multilanguage (only english , chinese , thai , japanese and arab ), no Google apps ..... That's why it sounds weird that i had everything set up out of the box . It wasn't a Global ROM, maybe a custom chinese rom?
Now i will carefully dig out how to get it to global versions , typing text on chinese rom is a pain in the ass
Believe it or not, i just had it charged, barely had the time to remove the charge cable, the phone sets on fire then exploded almost into my hands . I have some difficulties catching my breathe bcause of the smoke.
Does Redmi 8 have Test Point ? if it have, i believe we can use it to "unbrick" the phone, like what i do to my Redmi 4X.

Assuming you are talking about EDL.
As far as I know you need authorized mi account to do something through EDL for newer devices.
Can someone use TWRP or Orange fox backup for me to have the EFS folder of Redmi 8? Thank you..
Im certain this has been asked a few times but I cant unlock mi bootleader on mi8 to install xiaomi eu rom
I used this to get started
don't know if is good or not since no more dislike counter but seems ok. My issue is at when I need to log in to link my device to my account although im certain I already did it.
If i skip this last step and connect the phone to the pc with usb debuging adb tools sees it but if I reboot to fastboot and reconnect to pc mi unlock does't detect it.
Any tips what to do?
ok then after about 4 hours of trying everything I decided to factory reset and do it like that. When I started it disabled find device and just though lets try it now.
It worked, I linked the device to my account
