Big problems after bootloop - Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers

Hi all
Unfortunately, I'm having serious problems with my new Mi8, which arrived yesterday. It arrived with Global ROM and opened Bootloader.
Switch On, set up, data from the Mi6 pulled by NFC, all tutti. the Mi account I have connected here too.
Then I wanted to play the xiaomi.eu. TWRP installed via "Minimal adb and fastboot", installed via TWRP then the xiaomi.eu-ROM (newest). Has also worked. When setting up the point that I can play back via NFC what was not displayed, or I have overlooked him. Okay, again from the beginning, I thought. Have then reset the phone to factory settings to repeat the device.
Then the phone stuck in the bootloop. Again and again the Mi logo appeared and "unlocked", disappeared and came back, disappeared and came back. I did not get into the TWRP anymore, just into the fastboot.
On advice of different users on FB and another forum I should flash the Global ROM again over the MiFlash tool, which I did then also. Unfortunately I carelessly chose "Flash-and-Lock" and closed the boot loader. Unfortunately, this flash did not work and the phone now only starts in recovery mode 3.0
Due to the closed boot loader, it is not possible for me to install TWRP again, to flash another ROM with MiFlashTool. Also, the Unlock tool does not work, because I get the error message that the device is not linked to my account. I have also tried to install a recovery mod on the Xiaomi PC suite, as the bar remains on the PC but at 0%, on the phone remains the image with the pictured Mi8, after I in the recovery menu "Connect with MiAssistent "selected. Otherwise nothing happens.
With the latest version of the PC suite flashing works, but still boots the box in the recovery mode and the red font remains. Another user in the other forum said that I need the CN version, because on the CN device no EU-Rome is allowed. The CN version is rejected by the PC suite not get verified.
What else can I do. Do you have an idea that helps me getting the phone back on track?

This, for me, is the biggest joke of Xiaomi! Many users are getting stuck in this new policy! That does not exist! A total lack of respect for brand lovers. Let the developers figure out how to reverse this.

try CN Dev version, is latest and best,
forget xiaomi.eu rom lol, almost all they do you can do by yourself within minutes, uninstalling few chinese apps and get google works with googleinstaller_v3. and dev rom have root. just suggestion.

I tried the last cn-version, but the pc-suite dont verify this ROM and dont flash it.

Miflasher dont work, because the bootloader is locked.

To OP and the issue at hand, have you tried the fastboot image to install chinese stable or developer rom? That should flash and allow you to unlock bootloader again.
To the people whining about this policy of Xiaomi, you are buying a product for a different market. There is nothing wrong with their policy and you should wait for global version of the phone if you want global image with locked bootloader. It's a little like complaining that the chinese MMO you play over vpn doesn't have english menus. Well no, it's not for that market.

I tried only the chinese recovery rom for flashing with the pc-suite. The fastboot image, I can only flash with twrp or miflashtool, right? TWRP dont work, I cant boot in it. And miflashtool says, as I tried to flash the global rom, that it isnt allowed to erase a locked device.

Nah, the fastboot image flashes best in my experience if you unpack it, all the way. You will get some folders and .bat files. make sure you have fastboot in either PATH or same directory make sure fastboot detects the image and after that run the flash_all.bat and it should flash it.

That dont work, because the bootloader is locked. Fastboot says too, that it isnt allowed because the lock, same when I try to install twrp on the locked phone.

Help installing TWRP on Xiaomi mi5

Hello people
i'm aware that there are guides out there, but i'm honestly not the best at all this flashing stuff, i have done it to a few phones but this one needs to be done just right!
So, where should i begin?, i reckon i should start with unlocking the phone via the unlock tool (i am registered and accepted) and then flash TWRP via that tool?
or is the best/only way of flashing TWRP with the ADB fastboot?

my problem now is i have no idea how to get miui 7 on it. Iknow that all CM based roms will end in a bootloop if i try to flash with that on.
i have tried a number of things, last time i tried i ended up with it not detecting my sim card, so i had to revert back to Miui 8

Your thread is getting slightly confusing so let's do it step by step.
Is your phone currently unlocked?
To check, put it into fastboot mode manually without adb:
Turn off your device. Then turn on your device again while holding volume down button.
Plug in your device. Use fastboot:
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
Post screenshots.
Reboot your phone. Post a screenshot of your "About phone" settings menu.

I also tried this way.But not miflash tool. I use twrp to flash global stable rom,boot up the rom and flash twrp through fastboot.And then you can flash your favourite rom.
Hi,
sorry to hijack this thread, but i also have problem flashing TWRP.
I have unlocked phone.
I have USB debugging enabled.
I can reboot to fastboot via adb.
I ca flash twrp (twrp-3.0.2-1-gemini.img 25.2M 2016-07-19 18:48:36 EDT).
But when i go to recovery i still see Mi PcSuite thing. No twrp.
What am i doing wrong? IS there some other, more appropriate twrp image?

I got mine sorted out, what you are missing is when you are done flashinh you have to type "Fastboot reboot" and then set TWRP to default recovery
hope that helps you out
Same problem for me, when i type "Fastboot reboot", my Mi5 reboot quickly and after when i go to recovery i see also Mi PC Suite....
Do you have a workaround ?
Second question, is it normal that time to send TWRP.img to phone in ADB is only 0,9s ?

Unable to install TWRP, using Miflash or XiaomiMiTool

Hello everyone, I am trying to install the latest Global dev ROM on my Mi8.
I bought the phone from Gearbest and it arrived with the latest Russian stable ROM and unlocked bootloader.
The thing is I think the person who did all the above messed something up because I can't install the ROM I want using the standard procedures with TWRP, XiaomiMiTool or Mi Flash.
TWRP
When I try to install TWRP (version 918), when I reboot with the reboot command and use the flash command, I see some random errors (couldn't get max-size report for example) or the command does nothing, so I am not able to install it.
XiaomiMiTool
The program recognises the phone, I select the global dev rom, it makes its checks, then it tries (failing of course) to unblock the already unblocked bootloader and I cannot proceed any farther
Miflash
Booted the phone in fastboot, found in the program list, check "clean all" only, when I click flash the phone goes into a black screen with a "press any key to shutdown" in the top left corner of the screen
Any advice on how to resolve any of these problems please? Maybe something got corrupted like the boot.img or recovery.img?
I can provide with some screenshoots and photos and list of commands I was using if it's going to be of any help
Thanks

Thank you for this, but this is the same guide I followed.
After I use the flash command either nothing happens or I get an error.
The image below is after I waited 5 mins
OK.I recommend you TWRP 3.2.2-0711 wzsx150 from LR.TEAM linkhttps://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/how-to/recovery-twrp-3-2-2-0703-t3812600
,and also i recommend you insted of Global rom the EU rom.Its many language included and have better performance and camera.
I resolved this problem changing pc with USB 2.0 ports.

Question Stuck and can't boot up the device

Well, I was on the weekly build of xiaomi.eu rom ( the device is the Chinese version) and I decided to flash the global ROM via mi flash tool. I chose the clear all and lock option to lock the bootloader. At first, after five minutes in the flashing process, it gave an error ( invalid write argument error or something like this). I tried to flash for the second time and it went fine and gave me a success in the flashing tool .
However, after the device has rebooted, it went straight to the stock recovery with an error saying can not install this software on this device ( however, I already installed this global ROM on the device with the exact same way). I tried to wipe data from the recovery and reboot but the same problem happened.
Now the problem is the bootloader is now locked. When I try to unlock it bootloader to try to flash the fastboot ROM again , it says I need to add a mi account to the device but I can not since I can not log to the device to add it.
I tried to unlock the bootloader using the fastboot commands but all failed.
Any advice what should be done to make it working again?
Thanks in advance for your help

do u mean the first error appeared in the mi flash tool? if so, I did not. I just went straight to the second trial and according to the app, it was successful

You cannot block the bootloader with a global on Chinese version buddy. Also you should have fixed the checkpoint error before doing so to avoid this. Try to search on Google how to reunlock the bootloader from fastboot and no account bind, maybe you may find something. Try also to flash the chinese ROM, it may work, and fix the checkpoint error first

Well, It always state that my bootloader is locked when I try to flash any fastboot ROM with Mi flash or even try to unlock the bootloader
At this point you can only go into edl mode my friend. I do not understand how you even though of locking your bootloader on Global ROM having a China model. Unfortunately there seems not to be any way to unlock the bootloader without binding the account and to do that you need your phone to work

How to enter EDL mode? can I use it to flash any stock firmware? what kind of software needed ?
I'm not confident with the practice as I have never faced such situation. As far as I know you can't do it easily as you need engineering code to do so. There are people that can flash remotely your phone for you for money. But don't ask me who and how. Try to check Google first or YouTube and see if there is a way to do it yourself

I agree with xNAPx, however, if you can access fastboot (power button and volume down key), try using the MiUnlock tool again where you login with your Mi account. You might be able to unlock your account again as your device is aleady bound to your Mi account.

You might be able to unlock your account again as your device is aleady bound to your Mi account. Flashing in EDL will not work, it might with a China rom since this is a Chinese device, but don't count on it, as Xiaomi doesn't allow flashing in EDL mode or with a locked bootloader.
I don't think this is a chance as wiping data delete the Mi account binding (if you do so for example during the countdown for unlocking it reset the countdown). I don't think there is another option but EDL flash
EDL flash is the likely way forward at this stage. Search telegram or youtube for an authorized account. Should cost no more than $ 30-35.
I once was stuck in EDL mode (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/help-needed-i-think-i-bricked-my-phone.4301773/). This guy restored my phone for 35 USD.

So as not to make the same mistake again if we manage to save the phone.
Which TWRP and which command.
For Miflash you have probably left the flash and lock box checked.
If you could post the Miflash log (Miflash log folder)
I used this guide to install twrp
I put global rom instead of europe rom which came with my phone
I do have another xiaomi device I was wondering it I could somehow transfer the account to my bricked phone then flash it that way

Is the version of your phone Chinese with a Xiaomi EU rom?
I bought it from Here
It says in the description that 'The initial Chinese version has been updated to a global ROM.'
so I'm not sure when I got it I checked the rom and it said the Europe version I tried to update the version but when it was ready to install it said 'your device supports twrp' and I clicked ok to the instructions and when the device booted back up it was in recovery mode and I pressed restart and no updates were made.

It is a Chinese version.
post the Miflash log (Miflash log folder) so I can check what you did.
The log is between 20 and 25 KB and starts like this

As you have on my tutorial, this is the mistake not to do with a Chinese device.
Now to be sure, flash a Chinese rom with Miflash by checking the Clean all box.
Either the phone works again or not, Miflash will give you the error, surely 'lock state'
yes it says failed remote: erase is not allowed in lock state, im trying to get out of that mode I need help with that

Question Stuck in fastboot after trying to install PixelExperience :(

Hey everyone
I recently got this phone and went through the bootloader unlock process.
I then tried to follow the instructions on this page https://wiki.pixelexperience.org/devices/rosemary/install/ to get this rom installed but somehow ****ed it up.
Everything went well until I tried to flash the recovery img from this page: https://get.pixelexperience.org/rosemary (i downloaded the 13 plus recovery img).
I flashed the img via fastboot but after that I got stuck in fastboot. The phone is stuck in a bootloop when I try to reboot into recovery or normal boot. The only thing I can get back into is fastboot.
Would really appreciate any help to get the phone working again. Im not new to android custom roms but Im new to xiaomi phones and Im a little lost
Thanks.
OK nevermind I successfully got the phone booting again with miflash tool by reflashing an official firmware...
Greetings!
You can install the rom via adb sideload too. Put on some random recovery (see my tutorial here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/twrp-on-android-12.4522273/), and start adb sideload.
Then,
adb sideload insert_package_name.zip

Greetings!
As this phone has an MTK processor, we don't really have a recovery image, it's stored in the boot img I suppose. That link, you can download the official rom to this. DISCLAIMER: There are two types of ROMs listed here, one type is fastboot, that you need now in order to flash it through a computer for example. The another type is the recovery rom, that you can flash from recovery like a magisk package, or anything flashable zip, or with adb sideload.

You should choose global if you are in Europe, but it's suitable for devices in the US or USA probably, ony feature differences are here between an EEA and Global rom.
Also, if you install pixel experience recovery, you can install the firmware by going into recovery, and do it via sideload. Or, you can try flashing the rom with TWRP (tutorial linked below), but then you won't able to install updates automatically.
One question: Did you checked in OEM unlocking in developer options before flashed PE?
Hope it helps!
Yeah, I did checked the oem unlocking. I think the reason why i failed because my bootloader probably updated and I forgot to check. You need bootloader version 12.5.16.0.RKLMIXM to install the pixel experience. Also thank for help
Greetings!
You can install the rom via adb sideload too. Put on some random recovery (see my tutorial here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/members/gurtnyi.11842195), and start adb sideload.
Then,
adb sideload insert_package_name.zip
Hope it helps! ; D

Can I do that on newer firmware or should I roll back to version 12.5.16.0.RKLMIXM? And if I roll back then I need to unlock device again?
I think you can. I've flashed it successfully on the latest version too. Currently I don't use PE but it was good for me.
Well, regarding to the unlock, it's not a big deal, you don't have to wait 168h again, once you've firstly unlocked your device, you can re-unlock it again, and again, no matter how many times, you don't have to wait a lot again.
But depending on how you rollback it,
I mean, with xiaomi flasher (i think that's its name) you can choose between clean all and lock, save userdata, and clean all, but in the first case, it'll lock back the bootloader. With SP flash tool (if you need, I can provide a link for the modified version of it, that doesn't require an auth file, but if fails, you need a python script, I can link that too), as I remember it won't lock back the device, but I'm not a 100% sure
Hope it helps!

Corrected, thank you!
Thank you! I managed to install PE by rolling back to MIUI 12.5. Sideload unfortunatly not working on stock recovery.

Happy to hear that!
By the way, yes, pe recovery is better for sideloading, or eventually any not stock recovery. Also, if you install PE recovery, you can apply updates automatically, and in the future you won't need to flash it manually.
