Hi,
I was somehow able to get the zenfone 4 detected by computer, then flashed the RAW image. It successfully booted to ZenUI. Due to bloatware I decided to flash CM12.1, but after flashing CM, WIFI & IMEI having problems.
So, I reflashed the RAW image. But, I'm getting same IMEI (*wrong*) for both slots & Wifi isn't working.
So, I can't re-unlock the bootloader & flash root.
Is there any way to fix this mess???
Can I flash 'mmcblk0p3.img' available somewhere on internet??
I don't have 'mmcblk0p3' backup of my device.

Unlocking bootloader always erases Data Partition. First check that yours one is unlocked or not, not most devices are come locked. Unlocking will take time as Xiaomi gives you permission to unlock by their own software.
Make a backup, get all your data off then root it. I'm not entirely sure if you can unlock without erasing, but you should never be in a position where you can't afford to reinstall your applications.
This is why it is always best to get twrp on your phone asap so you can back up it.
No, unlocking bootloader doesn't wipes data but you must backup everything just in case anything goes wrong.
it is always recommended to backup everything when flashing ROM, kernel, mod, zip, flashing rom via fastboot method and recovery. in short you should backup everything in all this cases.

Actually I know most part and have already done getting permission but this was just a quick question as that's my sister's device and she won't accept its data being erased still thanks for your quick answer...
And by the way that device's bootloader is locked I have checked it.
.....:good:

Yes i have flashed recovery and roms i always do backup important thing and i take screenshot of installed apps before making any changes and save them to pc or to cloud storage.
there was issue i had was when i flashed TWRP 3.2.1.0 via adb i do not why but it asked me for password i didn't know to password so i had to wipe everything including internal storage and data.
latest twrp is must which is TWRP 3.2.1.0 in order to flash Oreo based ROM.
i was using TWRP 3.0.2-0 before and i had no issue with this recovery i has flashed several nougat roms on this recovery even have upgraded and downgraded from miui9 to miui 8 everything worked perfectly.
i don't know why but i wasn't able to flash any marshmallow based or nougat based roms on TWRP 3.2.1.0 recovery.
yes i did lose data when upgrading from TWRP 3.0.2-0 to TWRP 3.2.1.0 but i had done backup so no issues.
i would highly recommend you to do backup if you are making any changes in your device.

Thanks bro
you need to install stock rom after unlocking
Unlocking Xiaomi Redmi4x santoni bootloader doesn't delete the data partition, but after unlocking the bootloader your phone won't boot, you need to install the same stock rom it was on phone previously.
Download MIUI Stock ROMs (if you didn't make OTA update from MIUI, check Older versions and download the correct ROM)
You can copy the ROM image to phone before unlocking or if you have already unlocked and stuck in boot, you can copy the ROM to an USB flash drive.
You need ADB installed on your PC.
Download the TWRP for Xiaomi Redmi 4X image.
If you want to restore the existing state of your phone, you need to make a backup of the data partition.
Press Volume Down + Power until phone gets in FASTBOOT.
Connect phone to PC with USB cable.
From PC command prompt type the command: fastboot.exe boot twrp-3.2.1-0-santoni.img
TWRP will start on your phone, you can backup all of the partitions, but you need only the data partition to restore.
Now Install the stock rom (you can select USB OTG if ROM is on USB drive), then RESTORE the backed up DATA partition only.
Hi!!!
My device is Nora. I wanted to install a custom recovery but I failed because the system partition was encrypted, so cause of luck of time I decided to go back to stock ROM, so I did that and when booted up I realized the SIM wasn't detected, no IMEI (Obviously).
Maybe this helps:
No EFS or any backup
One I runed
HTML:
fastboot erase carrier
It's XT1944-3
I'm in Argentina (Stock ROM I flashed was RETAR)
Hello,
I was trying to restore my imei today on my MI9 MIUI10 device. After I restarted, the phone restarted into recovery. The device is rooted and TWRP is installed. I think I should flash modem files and I don't know where to find them. Or what else should I do?

How you've lost your imei?
I would try to flash completely xiaomi.eu
Hello, I am using a Redmi 9 Global (64/4) lancelot device. Since yesterday I have been using the Pixel Experince Android 13 Vendor S ROM, anyway yesterday i was testing something on TWRP recovery and performed the following actions (to the best of my recollection):
I mounted almost all partitions, then, I went to Advanced > Addons and experimented with options like 'Enforce decrypt' (I'm not sure about the exact name), 'Primissive,' and another option that failed immediately upon running but it has almost same name.
Afterward, I wiped Dalvik/Art cache, system, data, internal storage and caches. I flashed the same ROM (Pixel Experience) again, but upon reboot, the device went back into recovery mode, regardless of how many times I rebooted.
Anyway, I tried that 'Enforce' option (i didn’t remember its exact name), and it allowed the system to boot. However, both Wi-Fi and hotspot functionality were not working but the SIM cards are functional, providing data, call services, and other features. However, I did not check if the IMEI 1 and 2 were still there or not.
In an attempt to resolve the issue, I flashed the official fastboot ROM using Mi Flash Tool. However, the device entered official recovery mode and displayed the error message 'NV data is corrupted'. I attempted to resolve the problem by flashing the official fastboot ROM using SP Flash Tool, i tried it 3 times using different optios such as 'download only' 'firmware upgrade' and 'format all + download' Unfortunately, the problem persisted.
Then I tried to reinstall TWRP and use a custom rom without WIFI to be able to use my phone until i can find a way to fix it but my bootloader was locked, and when I attempted to unlock it using the Mi Unlock Tool, I received a message stating that my phone did not have the permission. This was wierd because during my previous use of SP Flash Tool(few months ago), I was able to unlock the bootloader.
Currently, I have installed an engineering ROM. Here's the situation: Wi-Fi and both SIM cards are working fine, but I cannot see any IMEI numbers in the settings or using the *#06# code for any of the slots. I'm unsure if this is due to the engineering ROM or if the IMEI numbers were wiped.
Fortunately, I still have the box and that lable which IMEI is written on it. I am now seeking a solution to fix this issue. I know there is a tool that can help write my IMEI for slot 2, but I'm unsure if it will resolve the problem. I have seen some Youtube videos where people fixed this problem using Unlock tool, but I don't have it, and the cracked versions are all fake and viruses.
Anyway , I wonder if there is any way to install Gapps on my engineering ROM. I know it's not ideal, but I could use it for a while. If its possible to install Gapps on Engineering ROM using custom recovery then which recovery should i use? I mean my Eng ROM android is 10 so should i use a custom recovery that designed for Vendor Q and then how to install it while my bootloader is locked ? Or is there anyway to install Gapps using adb sideload?
I attached some screenshots below
Thanks for any help
Hi everyone, I wanted to root my phone because my google pay way not working after I unlocked the bootloader of my phone.
I used magisk to flash a version for my redmi 2201117TY, but after using fastboot to flash my "patched" rom back to my phone, it is now booting over and over again.
I installed twrp to try to install another ROM, but I'm not sure it'll work.
I installed several redmi note 11 img to see if it would fix it but i did not (V13.0.6.0.SGKEUXM, V14.0.2.0.TGKMIXM and V13.0.3.0.SGKEUSF which was my original one i suppose)
I just want to have an usable phone even if it means cleaning everything. How can I format everything back to make it usable?
I have access to adb, fastboot, TWRP. (usb debugger on)
I am not sure I can find the exact rom as it was a really wierd version from my operator (SGKEUSF) and I can only find one on internet which happen to not work. How can I unbrick my phone now?
NOTE : the SGKEUSF is an overlayer of the SFR (Altis) network so i would rather not use it
Format (not wipe) data in twrp, flash a rom that fits your needs (on sdcard), reboot recovery (!), reboot system. If fastboot access is given it's fixable. Had the same thing many times with spesn. This is the way it always works for me.
When you say "flash a rom", you mean a recovery or a fastboot one? Does it have an influence?
Just download latest version of MiFlash, download RN11 fastboot ROM, flash the ROM via MiFlash. In MiFlash make sure to to check the box whether of not to lock the bootloader after flash. Just to be safe leave it unlocked until after the phone is safe.
