Hello,
You must first install stock recovery in order to manually update through Updater > Local update, and yes update.app must be in the dload folder on the SD card. (connect your device to your PC, install adb, reboot it to bootloader using 'adb reboot bootloader', put 'recovery.img' into the same folder as adb, execute 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img', then do 'fastboot reboot', once your device is fully booted go to the Updater app, and do a local update.)

That is exactly what you need - adb reboot bootloader (<- it's one word!) gets the phone into fastboot mode (same as flashify). From here you can flash the recovery. On the PC, run fastboot flash recovery <path-to-stock-recovery>. This will get you the stock recovery on the phone. Now you can use the 3 button method to flash the stock ROM.

You must get it into fastboot mode. If the phone restarts and does not boot into the OS, then it's a huge problem. You may try to restore the phone with HiSuite, but my bet is that you'd better get it to a service - you probably flashed the wrong bootloader.
You might have luck with the recovery though - hold down VOLUME UP and POWER when turning the device on. This might get you ADB, so you might boot into fastboot mode.

You are right i have to get it to service its not working at all cant even find in fastboot neither in recovery .. this goes so expensive
Press power, volume-down and connect device to PC simultaneously. You will get into fastboot mode. Flash boot image and recovery image that was exactly from your firmware version.

connect the phone to pc and start twrp, go to advanced and turn on sideload feature, then transfer the rom file to your adb folder and open cmd there, then type adb sideload filename.zip
this will flash the zip (rom) directly on to your device.
I had the same problem a month ago when going from cm13 to an official rom. I had to use adb side load too

if you are going to install resurreciton remix, then you need to install 6.6.23 first, then flash the latest 12/07 RR rom, then only it will work

hello everyone
Buy a Chinese mi8, unlock it waiting for the days that xiaomi tells you.
I installed the global version, and everything works correctly, but I want to change the rom.
I've tried to install TWRP with adb and it's impossible, it tells me the ADB template that OKEY, but never restarts in recovery mode with TWRP, so I can not install magisk, or any rom that is not official.
Is there any way to install a ROM (.zip) without TWRP?, how do I do Root without magisk? Has it happened to anyone?
thanks!
First of all, you're in the wrong section.
Second you should install via fastboot as described a thousand times AND reboot directly to your TWRP image via fastboot command.
The you can flash another from and root it.
Third, I'd like to strongly advice you to do some research about android, flashing etc to make sure that you know what you are doing.... So many people are moaning about bricked devices....

You are trying to be smart? Well...
Why didn't you post your exact steps with fastboot in the first post?
Now it's clear what you did wrong. I already expected it. And you did NOT read what I wrote:
You are rebooting your device with fastboot reboot. In this case your twrp is wiped out by the XIAOMI recovery. Use: fastboot boot yourimagename.
btw, why are you using such an old TWRP? You won't be able to flash actual roms.
So I'd like to come back to my advice in the first answer....

But all the steps that indicate, I have passed them and I never install the TWRP correctly.
1. my mobile phone is unlocked (with the padlock open)
2. I have the official rom installed
3. I try to install twrp with all the commands you have told me, and I never restart the mobile with twrp. I've tried new, intermediate and older versions. and nothing

You can't flash a ROM without TWRP and Magisk is the only way you can root your phone that I know of. If you don't even know these simple things/haven't done simple research you might risk to softbrick or even hardbrick your new and shiny phone. There are many guides on how to flash TWRP but you can PM me if you want more help.
Also you don't install TWRP with adb, you need to use fastboot...

You can try this
Make sure you have activated the usb debugging in developer options.
1. Download the tools from here: bit.ly/FlashToolMi8
2. Install the minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.3.1_setup
3. Copy the twrp-3.2.3-0-dipper.img to Minimal ADB and Fastboot Folder
4. Turn off your phone completely. then press power button + volume down to boot in fastboot mode.
5. Run CMD as Administrator then cd to the installed Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder. (Ex: cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
6. Use this command on your cmd: fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.3-0-dipper.img
7. Then: fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-dipper
8. And: fastboot reboot recovery
9. You're now in twrp recovery mode
10. Copy Disable_Dm-Verity_FEC_v1.1 and Magisk-v18.1 to your phone
11. Install Disable_Dm-Verity_FEC_v1.1 from twrp
12. Then install Magisk-v18.1
13. Reboot, Your phone now rooted
So, I have a Global version Mi 9.
Since the Global Beta is now gone, I want to use Xiaomi.eu ROM.
I unlocked bootloader, I flash TWRP, then I even flash the Disable Force Encryption, but every single time I reboot, the recovery reverts back to MI Recovery 3.0.
What am I doing wrong ?
AFAIK, MIUI installs her own recovery after a reboot.
I always download ROM and enter TWRP to flash ROM !
Currently speaking, MI9 TWRP without the other TWRP mod, such as OrangeFox to ensure TWRP won't be replaced by Mi recovery after OTA updated.
I see a magisk app - "TWRP A/B Retention script" may be current solution to help you keep TWRP after OTA but it must be flashed again after OTA updated every time.

You do not understand.
TWRP is NOT replaced after OTA, it is replaced after rebooting, immediately, after flashing it, before I can even upload the .zip file with the custom ROM to install it.

After flashing twrp, are you using fastboot boot twrp? If so, you need instead to use buttons, not the fastboot commands. Flash twrp, then hold vol up and power together until the phone reboots and vibrates, then let go of power but keep holding vol up. That should make twrp stick

Exactly.
1) Boot into fastboot
2) fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
3) fastboot reboot (immediately after device reboot, in black screen, hold VOL+ button)
4) TWRP logo will appears
Yes, I can boot to TWRP, but one time only. I use the volume up button after flashing to enter TWRP.
I need to format the data partition, before I upload the .zip file, and after I format the data partition and I reboot the phone, no more TWRP, MI Recovery 3.0 again.
In the end, I managed to install the xiaomi.eu ROM, but only by pushing the file into the tmp folder and not rebooting after I format the data partition.
Strange how MIUI enforces their own recovery software over TWRP, I had no such issues with the Mi 6, two years ago.

Bit late so not sure if the issue is still prevalent, but did you try flashing TWRP from within TWRP itself?
That's what I did, flashing TWRP within fastboot, then rebooting to enter TWRP (I use buttons for this), then moving the TWRP img to internal storage and use the install function within TWRP to flash the image.
Hello! Hoping someone can help and guide me in fixing my A2's bootloop. I already searched many forums online, but still no luck.
I flashed a permissiver_v5.zip in Evolution X Rom hoping that it will solve the random reboots, and I got bootloop. I successfully flashed the July stock rom through Miflash, hoping to boot into system, but still bootloop. I flashed the stock firmware and persist zip too in TWRP, but I also got mount persist error. I also need to use fastboot boot twrp.img to get into Twrp since it will disappear after clicking reboot recovery. I tried EDL, but then I got not enough storage error in Miflash.
Hopefully somebody can help me with steps!
LATEST UPDATE:
With the help of KevMetal, I can now use my phone after a week of being hardbricked. At first, my device can't boot to the bootloader or recovery, so what I did was to press the volume down and power button for some time and my phone was detected by the PC. So my device booted to EDL by itself, no need to open the phone. Then I used the 2018 version of MiFlash Tool and flashed the V.10.0.17 of stock Pie ROM from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-...-t3824849/amp/
After that, I flashed the persist.zip provided by KevMetal (browse in this thread) in recovery since I can't sideload the zip, and it worked fine. I then booted to system and finally there was no bootloop.
I then noticed that the IMEI was gone, so I tried to fix through some guides online but this one worked for me. https://medium.com/@shekhawatkoki/fi...1-2ed533548d32

you are messing up ..stop ..
1.boot into fastboot
2. flash stock rom with miflash
3. boot back to fastboot
4. download orange fox or pitch black recovery that actually supports persist flashing
5. join global mi a2 telegram group download relevant persist like if mi a2 or mi x6 and on android 9 or 10
6. put it in adb folder
7. boot recovery ( don't flash)
8. in recovery activate sideload adb option
9. in command window run :adb sideload persist.zip ( persist must have this name in adb folder )
10. now reboot your phone
*in the beginning it will bootloop four or five times ..just leave it
***suddenly your phone will be back to new
***stop flashing permissver and other crap

Thank you so much for your reply. I really appreciate it. I admit that I am really wrong in flashing that permissiver zip. I just hoped that it will solve my random reboot issue, from this tutorial: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...BMAB6BAgCEAE&usg=AOvVaw2suOu9rYeTps71AvKuZbrA
So now, I already downloaded OrangeFox-R10.1_1-Stable-jasmine_sprout.zip for recovery and persist_restorer_6x.zip from the Telegram group, which is universal persist according to them.
But I just have some questions:
1. Do I need to wipe both a and b in recovery or use command fastboot -w before flashing the stock ROM?
2. After flashing stocK ROM in Miflash tool, it will start to boot to system, but in this case, bootloop, so am I right to press buttons to forcibly go to bootloader?
3. For #7 (boot to recovery), this means fastboot boot recovery.img?
4. For #9, if adb sideload doesn't work, can I flash persist in recovery instead?

Thank you so much for your reply. I really appreciate it. I admit that I am really wrong in flashing that permissiver zip. I just hoped that it will solve my random reboot issue, from this tutorial: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...BMAB6BAgCEAE&usg=AOvVaw2suOu9rYeTps71AvKuZbrA
So now, I already downloaded OrangeFox-R10.1_1-Stable-jasmine_sprout.zip for recovery and persist_restorer_6x.zip from the Telegram group, which is universal persist according to them.
But I just have some questions:
1. Do I need to wipe both a and b in recovery or use command fastboot -w before flashing the stock ROM?
2. After flashing stocK ROM in Miflash tool, it will start to boot to system, but in this case, bootloop, so am I right to press buttons to forcibly go to bootloader?
3. For #7 (boot to recovery), this means fastboot boot recovery.img?
4. For #9, if adb sideload doesn't work, can I flash persist in recovery instead?

no install stock using miflash but don't wipe anything ..for this to work well don't install the recovery ..just boot
fastboot boot recovery.img
then using the adb sideload option you can flash the zip from your computer without decryting the internal storage
you can flash magisk the same way ..then you will have stock rooted with persist restored but without custom recovery and your device will remain encrypted ..
if you want custom recovery and install custom rom you can wipe and install but for stock don't do it ..flash persist and magisk from adb sideload without decrypting
2.yeah enter bootloader / fastboot with power button and volume button
4. it will work if done correctly ...if you want to flash from internal storage you will have to wipe and format data to decrypt internal syorage

you are messing up ..stop ..
1.boot into fastboot
2. flash stock rom with miflash
3. boot back to fastboot
4. download orange fox or pitch black recovery that actually supports persist flashing
5. join global mi a2 telegram group download relevant persist like if mi a2 or mi x6 and on android 9 or 10
6. put it in adb folder
7. boot recovery ( don't flash)
8. in recovery activate sideload adb option
9. in command window run :adb sideload persist.zip ( persist must have this name in adb folder )
10. now reboot your phone
*in the beginning it will bootloop four or five times ..just leave it
***suddenly your phone will be back to new
***stop flashing permissver and other crap

Thank you again.
I tried adb sideload before but was stuck at 0%, I missed something. I'll update here for the result once I can be back to PC.

ok yeah must be a mistake ..
do you understand that first you enter fastboot and boot the orange fox recovery ..only then you start the adb ..
BUT REMember first you need to toggle or activate adb from orange fox recovery (maybe you forgot this ? )
another thing it is very slow so wait very long
another thing the zip you want to flash must be in the adb folder and have the name you use
so
rename persist to persist.zip and put it in adb folder ..then put magisk zip and rename to magisk.zip :
adb sideload persist.zip
adb sideload magisk.zip

I need to wait more, I think. Before this thread, I tried to adb sideload in TWRP but it took somewhat long and still 0%, so I just cancelled since I ran out of time.

Regarding persist.zip, I am now confused because I asked in the group if the file persist_restorer_6x.zip is universal (either pie or 10, wayne or jasmine), they said yes, and another one said no. I searched in the group and found persist_restorer_a2.zip. I checked both files and they have the same filesize and contents.
So is there a thing like a universal persist for a2/6x, either for pie or 10? Or like what you said, only relevant persist depending on the os and device?

it is the same device.. so it is cross compatible ..it might just give an error if it checks the build prop ..obviously flash the A2..pie or q will just maybe be updated version or not but bettrr to flash corresponding if it exists

I see. I can't access my PC yet, but what if I still got bootloop after trying those steps, what must I do next? I'm worried for step #10.
Regarding the persist.zip, can you please check the zips below? The two have the same filesize and files inside, so maybe the two are just the same.

Ok thank you so much. Will try this tomorrow.
Regarding the state of my device, I can't boot to system because of bootloop. If I press power and volume +, I got no command. If I press power and volume -, fastboot mode. My device's bootloader is already unlocked, and can be detected through fastboot.

Got it. So the zip is compatible for either Pie or Android 10?
What's the best version for Miflash tool? I tried the newer version but it can't detect my device, and only the older version can detect. But it seems that the older version can't be trusted also since I still got persist error before.
For #10, my device will bootloop 4 to 5 times. So will it automatically turn off and on again until it will successfully boot? How long does it normally boot?
UPDATE:

UPDATE:
So I flashed the Pie Rom (V.10.0.17.0) in the MiFlash Tool (v. 2016.04.01.0) and the flashing was successful. The device turned on and only remained at the Android One logo and turned off again. This repeated for another time and I then forced my device to fastboot mode through the buttons. I then flashed the latest Orange Fox Recovery and it was successful. Now, I checked the recovery and persist can't be mounted (can't put a check on the box), but I still continued to adb sideload mode. The sideloading for persist.zip started, but was stuck at 10%. I waited more and decided to disconnect and try to flash the zip on the device instead. I checked the active slot and it was b, so I thought changing to a will be able to mount persist. I thought that if I remain at b, I will still get mount persist error. I clicked "boot to recovery" and the screen turned off. After a while, the screen remained off and I tried to use the button combinations, and the screen was totally black (no fastboot, logo, animation, or even some light, etc). It's completely black, but I noticed that the device was still hot after a few minutes. I connected my device to the PC again and the MiFlash tool detected my device as Com10. I flashed the rom again but the flashing was not successful. I tried to uninstall the drivers and still, there is no hope for reflashing the rom (it's now detected as com4). If I try to use power combinations, the PC will make sounds like when you connect/ disconnect a device, meaning, my phone can still be detected by my PC. So is there still a hope for my phone?

all of this couldn't happen if you only flashed permissiver ..what rom did you previously flash in slot b
anyway doesn't matter ..boot to fastboot with buttons ..boot ..NOT FLASH orange fox recovery
do all wipes
format data
install custom rom
install magisk
install persist
reboot to other standby slot ..
do all wipes
format data
install custom rom
install magisk
install persist
then reboot and phone will boot
use a latest custom rom Q with gapps included ....
follow all the instructions ..not only some ..don change them ..if it fails message me with screenshot
but the 10% problem over usb is a hardware , computer or most likely cable problem ..get a new cable ..or maybe you changed or damaged your screen improperly ..
anyway try the above
also download the most newest copy of miflash and use that to install drivers and flash if you want to flash stock and flash the latest stock amdroid ..
if your phone doesn't go into fastboot it is cos it is bricked in edl mode ..so flash latest stock with latest miflash ..
THEN FLASH PERSIST BY ONLY BOOTINGBrecovery
did you try to convert this A2 to Wayne amd triggered arb ? that could be why flashing stock pie goes to edl mode

Just FYI:
Since 10.0.2.0 till now I thought that persist.img is version-insensitive, as I flashed persist.img taken from 8.1 ROM into couple of versions of 9.0 without any problems (via my method published in "Guides...").
Last week I noticed that compass is "showing south", and tried to flash various versions of persist.img into active 11.0.12.0 - and was surprised to encounter "white screen of eternal booting" with non-native version of persist.img. So finally had to flash persist.img taken from 11.0.12.0 fastboot ROM image.
(Btw, my problem with compass seems to have 2 sides -1st is somewhat very big deviation at homeplace, and 2nd is that only 1st magnetic sensor is being calibrated while second magnetic sensor is not being calibrated by means I used).

So I was able to use another laptop, and I managed to install adb, drivers, and MiFlash Tool. The 2018 version can now detect my phone, and I can now at least boot into fastboot. But my flashing is still not successful because I got stuck at system.img. The laptop freezes and I already tried to free up space in C: drive.
