Updated to Xiaomi.eu 10.1.2.0, can't unlock screen. - Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers

I was very excited to install this update that released today, but after installing it, I can't sign in to my phone. When it boots up, it flashes the homescreen wallpaper, not the lockscreen wallpaper for a second or two then the screen turns black. If I hold the power button I can view the power settings (reboot, silent, airplane mode, shut down) and also if I double press the power button, which my camera shortcut, it opens the camera. Aside from these actions, I can't do anything.
My method to installing this rom was this:
Download the rom from xiaomi.eu website
use the built in updater where I select a rom on my phone and it automatically boots to recovery for me (I'm using TWRP)
Let it do its thing, and boot up, then when it boots the errors occur.
I tried wiping cache and dalvik, but no change.
Did I miss something? Is there something I should have done differently when updating my phone? Is there a special procedure in upgrading Android versions? (1.1.2.0 is first Android Pie version on my phone)
Thank you very much.
Edit 1: I have flashed a second time, this time flashing cache, dalvik, and data. I was able to get into MIUI and set up my device, but after I rebooted the phone for a separate reason, I am experiencing the same errors as before.
Edit 2: Not 100% sure because I switched ROMs, but I probably could have gotten it working by wiping /system as well.

Hey, by the way, what launcher are you using? This seems to be a problem with just the lock screen so maybe there is a weird interaction happening between the launcher and the lock screen. I was using Rootless Pixel Launcher.
Edit: one more question: did you do the same thing as me where I first flashed without formatting data, then you flashed a second time, that time formatting the data? I'm thinking it could also be just because we flashed it incorrectly the first time, future flashes are gonna be messed up.

Where's the download I can find only 10.1.1.0

Try this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/remove-lockscreen-recovery-t3530008
You must have a valid custom recovery
Edit : the recovery method won't work... It's a problem with the rom. Just switch to another version....

You can downgrade from Pie to Oreo with EU rom and TWRP, the phone boot up normaly but some processes say stop working.
I had same problem yesterday. I recommend wipe system before reinstalling Oreo rom and waiting a fixed Pie rom

This is the Xiaomi.eu ROM which is based on China Stable.

This stable ver has many problems. It's hasnt stable yet. Even when you could turn the screen on, if you use the 3 buttons as default, everything is normal, but if you use fullscreen gestures and reboot your phone, you will stuck in black screen again. Many friends and me have the same black screen problems. So my advice is you should stay where you are waiting for a real "stable" ver.

For all who want to use FSG in version 10.1.2.0 I would recommend the following workaround:
a) Startup freshly installed system
b) Select navigation bar as preferred method and finish setting up the phone
c) Download Magisk v18.0
d) Reboot into TWRP and flash Magisk v18.0 zip
e) Reboot to system
f) Download the free application "Fluid Navigation Gestures" and setup the same Gestures as in Stock mi8
g)Optional: In Fluid NG, choose "Hide Navigation Bar"
It doesn't have the exact same feeling as stock but is pretty close and I think it's valid as a meantime workaround.

Droid 4! Epic Problem!

so i installed safestrap to my droid 4 running stock rom ics. i go into recovery to install cyanogen mod 10 so i wipe everything like always and then i selected install, next i know i look at my phone and the screen is black i figure the install is done so i go to power it on and it brings me to the safestrap 10 second option so i click menu....nothing happens it shows backlight black screen then i restarted the phone and tried to boot regular, same thing is there anyway to fix this?! and since safestrap is installed everytime i try to charge my phone it turns on and tries to boot into the backlight black screen.
Sounds like you wiped ur system clean and nothing was installed over it. If you can get into safestrap then just usersd lite to put a clean version of ics on ur device. Then root and enjoy

Agreed. Probably going to have to fastboot ICS. In addition, if/when you try to install a custom ROM again, make sure you back up your unsafe system first. Then make sure you switch to your safe system to install the ROM.

when i go into safestrap it just shows a black screen, i click menu at the 10 second screen and thats what it does.

As others are saying, it sounds like your system is hosed.
My advice would be to download RSDLite and the appropriate fastboot files and restore the phone's software that way.

No input possible at CM11

I installed CM11 last monday from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658534
Since then I got the issue, that after the phone is in standby for a while, I can't unlock the lockscreen. There is no input possible, just reacts like I'm not touching the screen. If I press the power button again it locks again (screen off), but then it's not possible to even see the lockscreen again, powerbutton not working anymore. The only way to use the phone again is to hold the powerbutton for 10 seconds and reboot then.
I tried to wipe all and flash again, but no change. I tried "cm-11-20140503-UNOFFICIAL-jactiveltexx.zip" from spegelius first, and then "cm-11-20140508-UNOFFICIAL-jactiveltexx.zip" from allram. Wiped everything before flashing, but no luck, still getting that bug.
Sadly I can't post directly into that topic, because I'm new here

Yes I got the european version. Before I flashed CM11 I did a "factory reset", wiped cache and dalvik cache. I did that before flashing another rom again. I will try to flash the newest (13th may) version from your gdrive later.

Logs for MIUI 6

Hello.
I have a problem with my phone: I install MIUI 6 (doesn't matter what version), I set it up with restore, it runs ok till the first manual reboot. Then it gets blocked at the black "MI"screen. Won't enter in the OS. Any methods to determine the culprit? Maybe taking a log (how to do that?) It gets kinda annoying to flash the zip again and again everytime I do a reboot.
Thank you.

dot restore,just go for a fresh clean install,
if that also doesn't work,then simply go for fast boot method

I have lots of apps and it would take me ages to manually install them all. Back-up and restore from MIUI is my savior.
I also have Xposed Framework, that requires a reboot after install. That reboot works. First I thought it was xposed's fault, but I guess if it would have been that the phone won't start after the reboot it required. Same thing happens with wsm.
Don't install xposed ..
(I had same problem)
Clean install miui 6 once again

Same problem meaning your phone won't boot after a while or right after installing Xposed?
I really don't get it. For example, i just clean installed MIUI, restored the apps, installed Xposed + modules and I can do as many restarts as I want, it will boot every single time. The problem appears after a while, I guess starting tomorrow morning it will get screwed up again, although I won't install any apps or anything in the meanwhile.

Stuck on just a sec screen.

My LeEco S3 X522 has not been able to get past the just a sec screen. At first it was after unlocking the phone it would just stay on the loading android screen but i was able to get into the settings by using the notification bar at that time i was using pixel experience but not the latest (one before the latest) so i updated and still would not work so i just formatted everything completely then re installed the latest pixel experience. Now i am stuck on the just a sec screen when starting up the phone. The phone goes dim then the screen goes off yet i am still able to use the hardware nav buttons ( they dont do anything but light up and vibrate). Screen will come back on after a few mins but it just repeats it self.
Also, prior to this happening my phone was dropped and the screen cracked. It took a week or two until i fixed the screen.

Try flashing 8 august nano gapps.
Do you have a nandroid backup of Pixel experience, if yes, then you can restore it and remove all sorts of screenlocks via twrp (Google how to) . Then flash latest gapps and os zip. Clear dalvik and cache. It should work.
It did not work. Still on just a second, even with the august 10th GAPPS. I formatted everything completely. No OS etc. Then i tried to install the stock ROM by using the chinese twrp (YDDS or something like that). It has worked before but now it did not even boot into the recovery screen unless its US twrp. I flashed RR OS (Oreo) and it would just boot loop. I can't seem to find any solution. I do not see why even after formatting all data, neither ROM will load. (Have noticed on twrp it says it could not find internal storage, yet it installs the ROMS and GAPPS. Not sure what that is about but could not find anytning online.)

Try the 6 July gapps here https://github.com/opengapps/arm64/releases/tag/20190706
I think it shouldn't give rise to your issue.
Remember to flash the nano version.
It's possible your data partition is corrupt.
First wipe system, cache , dalvik cache and data.
Then repair data, format to ext2 and them reformat to ext4. Then reboot to recovery and repair data again and finally wipe it. Reboot to recovery again. Flash stock ROM first. Then flash your preferred ROM.

Question Xiaomi Note 11 stuck to rebooting into recovery mode 5.0 after unlocking the screen

Hi, sorry for the bad english. My Xiaomi Note 11 worked perfectly fine for months since I bought it, but last night I accidentally left it charging for the whole night and when I woke up, it suddenly rebooted to recovery mode. I rebooted it back to system, which reboots the phone as usual, then I unlocked the lockscreen, everything went perfectly normal, until it rebooted again to recovery mode. I tried rebooting again, but it rebooted again to recovery mode after I unlocked the lockscreen. I tried booting it to safemode, but it went the same way. However, when I leave the lockscreen unlocked, it doesn't reboot itself. I tried turning it off and rebooting it with the screen unlocked but it did nothing. Do you guys ever have the same problem? Is there any way to fix it without wiping the data? I have some banking apps and other data that would be difficult to recover if I were to wipe out the phone.
I have the same problem too, I think it might have to do with the new update Xiaomi pushed to European devices in the last few days. We'll have to wait and see if they push a fix/if we find a fix...
Exact same problem, started appearing today. This is so weird. I already wiped data and the problem persists; went thorough the setup with no issue, and as soon as I finished it and the phone goes to the main screen, after a few seconds it started appearing again.
MIUI Global
13.0.16.0(RGCMIXM)

I found a way to do so. The problem is that once the phone is unlocked you have a few minutes before it gets booted into recovery mode. So:
Step 1) Have the phone connected to a computer before booting it up, with file explorer in the "this pc" category (where the phone storage will appear)
Step 2) boot the phone and input the password (if any)
Step 3) QUICKLY pull down the notification bar and press the usb options notification
Step 4) QUICKLY press the second option for file transferring
Step 5) QUICKLY open phone storage from pc once it pops up (at this point the phone screen will probably be black with a white loading circle but the phone storage is still accessible!!! You now have a few minutes to transfer any data you want)
Step 6) QUICKLY search through phone storage for any important data and copy/paste it to your computer
Sooner or later the phone will be booted to recovery mode and the mi logo will appear and the phone storage will disappear from the computer so repeat above steps until all your data is backed up.
If a file transfer gets stopped while running, copy/paste the data again on the next "run" and choose to ignore files that are already copied. With this method I managed to backup all my photos and files before wiping the phone.
This problem might be due to a problematic firmware update. My phone was running MIUI version 13.0.12(RGKEUXM) (europe version). I wiped the data and updated my phone to version 13.0.13(RGKEUXM) after setting it up just in case. I will update this thread if the problem reappears.
I am running RGCMIXM (13.0.16.0) and have encountered the issue. Really annoying. Did the wipe all and had no success. I hope someone can help find a fix. No feedback on the issue i logged thru the feedback app to Xiaomi.
