Boot loop after trying to downgrade EU stable 11.0.2 to EU stable 10.13.17

TL;DR - Tried to downgrade Android 10 Xiaomi EU to Android 9 Xiaomi EU, tried wiping the device (besides storage). I can get into TWRP and Fastboot, just won't boot OS.
Detailed:
I was running the latest Android 10 Xiaomi EU Stable Rom MIUI 11 (11.0.2) and wanted to downgrade because I had a few issues.
I reinstalled the last stable Android 10 Xiaomi EU Stable Rom for MIUI 10 (10.3.17) and it ran fine. I then realized that I wanted to be back on Android 9....
I went and tried to install Android 9 Xiaomi EU Stable Rom for MIUI 10 (10.3.16) and then ran into boot looping.
So then I got into TWRP and erased all data and then tried to copy over the old update file and realized I can't copy over anything even with MTP Enabled.
All the folders in the sdcard are random letters and numbers..
So now I can't send any files over and im stuck wondering how to fix this problem and then go over to Pixel Experience.
Send help! Please!
You messed up with encryptions... Just flash Chinese fastboot rom before pixel experience... and, as always, don't forget: DO NOT lock your bootloader ..

And I would do that by downloading which version of fastboot? Any stable one that I want to run?
Also would it be through fastboot using Mi Flash Tool or something else?
Then the pixel experience would be installed just through TWRP?
Sorry, I just don't wanna mess up.

As you want to flash pixel experience, you need to flash chinese fastboot rom, because pixel experience is based on Chinese firmware. So, by flashing Chinese you will be half way. Pick last stable pie version.. I believe is 10.3.16, don't remember...
Yes. You should use miflash tool, just don't forget: you need to select "clean all" and not "clean all and lock".
Boot into miui system once.
After that just flash twrp through normal fastboot command, as you already did in the past. Then flash PE in twrp...
Remember to boot in twrp just after flash it, if you boot into device it will be replaced by stock one...

After booting into TWRP and before flashing PE, wipe cache and dalvik, then format data. Either reboot into TWRP, or unmount and mount data, then carry on with the PE flashing.

That sounds confusing..
So after flashing the chinese fastboot and starting the phone up once to confirm its working, i boot into twrp and wipe cache+dalvik, then format all data, then restart into twrp and flash pe?
Doing that is just making sure its a clean flash and not a dirty one?

You boot into MIUI once to let it finalise the installation.
Then install TWRP and immediately boot into TWRP.
When changing ROMs you should clean flash, which normally means wiping cache, dalvik and data before installing the new ROM.
In this case it's best to format data instead, otherwise you may get problems with encryption, similar to what your seeing now.
After formatting data, TWRP sometimes has a problem seeing the data partition properly, to fix this you either reboot into TWRP or go to the mount menu and unmount data, then mount it again.
After this you copy the PE ROM onto the phone and flash it.

Recovery booting problem

Hi,
I am on xiaomi.eu weekly Android 10.
My device cant boot to any recovery. I flashed them all (3.3.0, 3.3.1, 3.2.3 or PicthBlack)
I flash them all successfully but none of them opens, they all stuck at recovery logo screen.
If I format my userdata and cache, twrp opens,but I dont want to wipe data every week.
Why all recoveries stuck? Does anyone have an idea?
Last time I format everything, installed 3.3.1 and installed rom. It works but I still couldnt open any recovery. (fastboot boot .img or volume up + power has same results)
This one solved the problem

Flashing problem on Chinese version K20 Pro (raphael)

Hello there,
I'm using the Xiaomi.eu latest Beta rom ATM. I'm trying to flash other roms (like lineage OS 17.1 for example) but it seems to reboot to fastboot everytime. I've tried doing a clean flash, formatting data, dirty flashing. Nothing seems to help it boot into the new rom.
Clearly I'm doing something wrong. If I try flashing the recommended Chinese vendor firmware (stable version), I get an error 7..but my TWRP is up to date as recommended.
If anyone has any idea where I'm going wrong, that would help a lot.
Thanks

Don't know what your doing wrong, but this is my failsafe method should nothing else work.
Flash the latest Chinese 11.0.5 fastboot ROM. Make sure you don't lock the bootloader if using the Mi Flash Tool.
Boot into MIUI once to allow it to finalise the install, you don't need to do the initial phone setup once it boots into MIUI.
Boot into fastboot and install TWRP. I recommend the latest from mauronofrio which should be 3.1.1-32
Boot immediately into TWRP. I use the volume up button while powering up the phone.
Perform a factory reset in TWRP (using the swipe button), then format data (need to type 'yes' to confirm).
Reboot into TWRP using the TWRP boot menu, this ensures the newly formatted data partition is correctly mounted.
Copy over the ROM you want and GApps if needed, then flash.
Boot into your new ROM, everything should be OK. Then boot back into TWRP to install Magisk if you want root.
Yep that seems to have done the trick. At first I was getting frustrated because I thought I was downloading the right Chinese ROM, turns out I was downloading the recovery version instead of the fastboot one.
I think it wasn't working because I was on the beta channel. Switching over to the stable channel meant I had to go through a fastboot flash apparently. I've seen this before on my OP3.
Got lineage OS loaded, thanks for your help!

When flashing over stock MIUI you need to format data in TWRP. (Format, not wipe, need to type 'yes' to confirm.
Also, when restoring MIUI, make sure you boot into MIUI once before you flash anything else.
Use the latest 3.3.1-32 TWRP from here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k2...icial-twrp-xiaomi-redmi-t3944363/post79823568
Restore MIUI and boot into it.
Flash TWRP and boot into TWRP
Do a factory reset.
Format data.
Reboot into TWRP - this ensures the formatted data partition is mounted properly.
Flash the ROM, plus any extras.
Boot into system.
Everything should be good.
Maybe its problem with vbmeta, try to flash vbmeta first, but you need to boot to twrp trough adb command, then flash vbmeta, than flash twrp, reboot to twrp and flash vendor, rom if you want to ide custom rom, not Stock

There shouldn't be any need to flash vbmeta.
In theory vbmeta would only be needed if you want to stick with MIUI, but without root, but want to install TWRP, maybe to debloat.
Flashing Magisk or flashing a custom ROM should remove the need to flash vbmeta.
If you're already on the latest MIUI there is no need to flash any vendor files, as they're already installed.
I dont know why, but Yesterday ive tried to flash custom rom, wiped everything and after flash and reboot the phone stucked in fastboot, wont boot to twrp,not with butt shortcut,not with adb command. So i try to flash vbmeta,than IT boots to twrp,and Also i was able to flash again twrp, this could be Also solution.

Question [HELP] Doesn't boot with any Recovery based ROM!?

Hi Guys
I tried an update to Mirza's ROM but after it caused more issues, I tried restoring from full Orangefox backup in recovery; only to find the phone stuck at Fastboot mode. It appeared strange, so I tried it again to end up with same fate. I tried installing Xiaomi.EU ROM, but after installation it got into a boot loop alternating between Recovery logo and MIUI startup logo. I got into fastboot again and flashed TWRP trying the same, but without joy. Tried another recovery and multiple versions of Xioami.EU ROM all with same fate. Finally got hold of an old fastboot ROM from Xioami.EU and flashed with MiFlash tool and it flashed successfully without issues. Assuming all was well, I tried flashing ROM via recovery which either gets stuck at MIUI logo or recovery. Boot loader in unlocked and decrypted. I tried flashing SHRP recovery, Magisk, wiping data etc as well to rule out any issues, but the problems remain.
Any ideas as to what's happening?
If I understood right, recovery ofox is working.
So reboot to it
Format data with yes
Reboot ofox
Flash ROM
Flash magisk recommend
Format data again with yes
Reboot system and give time to boot, could be more than some minutes but I think not more than 20
For those who might face similar issues.
According to Orangefox website, 'note that you should not restore a backup of the persist image, unless it proves absolutely necessary'. I may have checked it in recovery during restoration which probably destroyed the partition.
Fix:Installed TWRP via flashboot, formatted all data(not wiped) and installed ROM then formatted again and it booted.
