Mi 9 - This MIUI version can´t be installed on this device

Hi all,
i hope someone has an idea how to fix my phone.
The Story:
I bought the 12GB/256Gb Mi 9 Transparent Edition (just sold in China) - it was unlocked by the seller and flashed with official EEA Rom. I bound it to my Mi Account and installed TWRP and then formatted the Phone. I tried xiaomi.eu MIUI 11 rom, but was not happy. So i thought i get the official Global version and flashed it with miFlash Tool. Unfortunately (And i hate myself for it, as i flashed loads of Xioami Phones before), i forgot to change to Clean all - instead it was set to Clean All and Lock - So now the Bootloader is locked again.
And now i own a 600€ pile of junk.
I tried to Unlock again - but mi_unlock told me that "Current Account is not bound to this Device" - and i should go to the Developers Option to bind them. - Well, i would do so if i would not stuck in Recovery (This MIUI version can´t be installed on this device) or in Fastboot Mode.
Is there any chance (beside EDL method, which i do not have the courage to do) to somehow fix this?
I really appreciate all help!
Thanks

If you still have warranty where you bought, take it to them and they'll fix it for you. If not, your only hope left is tespoint EDL.

Did you try to flash latest Chinese Stable rom? Probably you have the message because you cannot flash the Global version as it was Chinese only.

Well yes, i tried, but MiPro Flasher is telling me ''you are allowed to flash the newest develop version published by miui forum from stable version only''
I loose my hope already
Thanks

So flash that, the latest China Beta then, take it from there.

So when you try to flash the Stable version it says something about the Developer version? strange! try the official tool maybe ( Miflash).

Thanks, i tried with official tool, but to flash via it, Bootloader has to be unlocked - and as written in my 1st post, i locked it by accident. I contacted the shop where i bought it, they said it could take up to 3 month (Back to China...) -
Cannot believe that there is no other way tough.

beside EDL- u can connect with Mi Flash Tool -- only can install China ROm i had sam prob with Mix 2s i did same and i tried many many times with mi flash tool finnaly its done

Did you try to push the rom using fastboot command? you can try this maybe:
https://in.c.mi.com/thread-334-1-1.html
But I still don't understand why, if you try to flash the Stable version it says "you are allowed to flash the newest develop version...".

Hi,
yes i tried, but flashing via officla miflash wont work, if the Bootloader is not unlocked. I opened the Phone now and try to understand how EDL Method is working.
Does anyone have an step-by-step guide on how to do it?
THANKS

How to get back to stock rom like when i bought it

Hello all !
I've bought a MI9T pro on Rakuten 2 weeks ago, i unlocked the bootloader successfully, then i installed some mods like V4A etc, then i installed the 72hz mod that bricked my phone, after 2 hours, i
I managed to flash a older stock rom that i found on the web, but after this it was writed "Redmi" and not "Mi" on the bootup screen like it was before, then i installed LineageOS but i saw that there was many translation issues with french language so i installed MiUi 11 with TWRP but now the FP Sensor doesn't work.
My question is, is it possible to return to the latest version on MiUi that is available on MI9T Pro so i can do all the updates on the phone directly like when i bought it ? Can you tell me when i can find the rom ? And how can i get back "Mi" rather than "Redmi" on the bootup screen ?
I still want to get root, and bootloader unlocked, i just want to get an official stock rom like before.
Thanks guys for helping me, and excuse-me for my bad english, i from france

you need to download the correct fastboot ROM for your device and flash it with MiFlash. You will have either the Global or the EEA variant.
EEA ROM: http://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.3.4.0....KEUXM_20190923.0000.00_9.0_eea_65ad59b1cb.tgz
Global ROM: http://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.3.2.0....XM_20190911.0000.00_9.0_global_a11e2330ec.tgz
MiFlash: https://www.xiaomiflash.com/downloads/MiFlash20170425.zip

Do you know how can i know if i need to flash the global or the eea version?
After this, i will je able to do the miui updates normally like before? And it will be back a mi9t pro and not a k20 pro like now ? Because i had to flash something from india to flash the lineageOS.
Sorry for those questions, thanks again!

created new thread, since its different problem

Follow this guide. If you read it on a mobile browser, you will need to view it in desktop mode.
It has links for the Mi Flash Tool and the fastboot ROMs on the page.

Question Need help to set back stock ROM

Hello,
I have bought a Mi 11 yesterday version M2011K2G,
I found out that the bootloader was unlocked on it, but when I check it has a global ROM installed already on it,
the thing is that it's not making any update, so I guess it's not an original ROM ?
I want to put back the original ROM and lock the bootloader back in order to have updates,
can you please help me on how I can do this without breaking the phone ?
or I'm I not getting the updates just because the bootloader is unlocked and if I lock it I will get them back ? I'm just scared if I lock it back the phone will break,
or you think I should install back the ROM and lock it back to get everything better ?
Thanks !

What version of ROM do you have?

here it is attached,
when I check updates it says no update available

Normally an unlocked bootloader has no affort to the update. How did you get notice about that? If your bl is really unlocked I would stay with that.
Are you maybe on latest version? Can you take a screen shot of settings - my device - All secs

I know it's unlocked cause I see the unlocked "padlock" when I restart the phone, other than this I don't have any idea of what modification could have been done to it since I'm used to use my phone the way they come with, thats why I want to get it back to stock ROM or get the updates to make sure it's all good

Here is the latest Rom for eea.
It's interesting that rkbeusf is nowhere to find.
Well unzip the fastboot file put the fastboot files from miui into it and try the installation without locking

if I use the Mi Flash and I don't lock it after flashing it, I won't get the upcoming updates will I ?
I mean, is there any way to lock it back ?
I kind of want to make the phone as it went out from factory

I never used mi flash, sorry.
My first step on new phones are always to unlock the bootloader so I can flash root and restore the apps with titanium.
And I got always updates through Ota.
I switched to xiaomi.eu rom, because it was faster with miui 12.5

thanks man, I will try install this ROM you gave me, I have noticed that when I make "download latest packages" it directly says "impossible to download..."
I wonder why it's doing this

Sorry if I misunderstood you, but you will have to scroll down until you see fastboot then a bit more to 'full rom' and click on the blue button
Edit:
Tested it right now and it works fine for me (download started)
Edit 2:
Seems to work with MI flash tool too:
Found on the mitool side:
Step 1: Download the correct Fastboot ROM on the Windows PC by double-checking the compatibility. Then extract and get the workable extensions on the PC (use the Rom above)
Step 2: installation bla bla
Step 3: too
Step 4: too
Step 5: Then attach the ROM file
Step 6: Switch Xiaomi device into the Fastboot mode. So turn off the device and simply take a long press and hold the keys of Volume Down and Power keys
Step 7: Then connect the device to the PC with a proper USB cable which is in the Fastboot mode
Step 8: Now you can enter the tool interface and check whether the device is connected
Step 9: Then select the most suitable flashing option from all three “Flash all”, “Flash all except storage” and “Flash all except data and storage”
Step 10: Hit flash from the top of the window and wait for several minutes
Step 11: Once the process is done you can reboot and finalize the process successfully.

thanks bro it worked, it now checks the updates and make them when they're available, my wife won't ask the divorce finally haha
one last question and I leave you,
my phone is a 12gb 256 (chinese) if I install that same ROM I installed, will I get autoupdates on it or that version can only update on it's chinese ROM ? any idea ?

For my understanding it will work too. The 12 GB ram is EU is not available but it's only additional ram and does not have an other rom.
... So if you can install and use your phone with that rom you will have no issues with updates

Be careful, don't lock bootloader with a global or EEA ROM on CN hardware, you will brick your phone.
Take care when using Miflash with CN flashed to global. Now you are on production software, best to stay there unless you want to install custom ROMs. OTAs should work now. 12.5.1.0 is the latest for EEA.

Isn´t all Mi 11 CN = China hardware ? I think it is safe to relock bootloader if you are on original ROM. Do you mix hardware and rom with each other.

do you think that even if it's a Chinese version, if I'm on an officiel original ROM (even if it's global and not chinese) I can relock the bootloader ?

Question twrp, magisk, boot.img on miui 13.0.5.0 SKAEUXM???

Hi
Kind of in a pickle here, I have upgraded to the EU version of the rom and then updated to the above 13.0.5.0 SKAEUXM. Now the issue I am facing is no matter what version of twrp I install or boot into it doesn't show me the internal storage and neither can I copy anything there for some reason. ( That's TWRP out of the question trying to flash magisk or trying to extract the phones boot.img? )
Neither can i get hold of miui 13.0.5.0 SKAEUXM zip file where i can extract it and utilise the boot.img either as its no where to be found aka the full rom?
How do I root with magisk on my mi 11 ultra miui 13.0.5.0 SKAEUXM. Any suggestions or links would be greatly appreciated.
Regards

You can only root via adb fastboot using the fastboot version of your rom to patch the original boot.ini. AFAIK there are no fastboot versions of these roms quite yet

okay i managed to find a twrp and use the following command
fastboot flash boot_a twrp.img
that worked fine and i was able to see the storage. flashed magisk canary which then sent the phone into twrp loop.
restarting again installing the eu 12xxx rom which i will update to 13.0.5.0 SKAEUXM and then re do the procedure with normal magisk and see how that fairs. when i do normal fastboot flash recovery twrp.img i get a failed message.
will update

Use unsupported version of twrp with miui 13 (A12) can brick your phone, remember that
Still no working twrp for miui 13 (A12)

everything's been fine I been testing various roms and trying to get boot.img from miui 13 eu rom but while being careful on one occasion i forgot to check clean all and instead it was sat on clean all and lock and it locked and now i have fast boot only no recovery and boot loader is locked, I don't get why they would design this software to auto select clean all and lock rather than nothing so you get to select before you can even proceed unless it was malicious and done on purpose?? I done the unlock thing last night and have to wait 134 hours.
pay for a phone and still be at the mercy of the manufacturer, no, fk that. this phones getting flashed back and sent right back up the Chinese where the sun don't shine.
anyways what option do i have apart from now being at the mercy of another foreigner who just wants you to pay him before he even wants to talk to you or answer any questions or ask any about your issue.
all i got was pay no refund pay no refund from one dude in india no questions no nothing. i asked questions and he couldn't even answer one of them apart from with a maybe and a ? (Wont take any names)
so this is where I'm at fastboot with locked bootloader, no recovery or data. cant twrp on locked device cant set to edl mode via fastboot nothing.
any attempt has rendered cant do anything on locked bootloader. I can see the phone on mi flash and try to flash it but keep getting the locked error.
I have tried a global rom a eu rom a chinese rom hell even a engineering rom all the above give cant erase on locked stae error while the engineering one gives Antirollback error, and yes i have deleted the section of anti rollback check still get some other error?
Over to you guys.

EU isn't rom variant. They call that EU because full name is xiaomi.EU
Remember official rom branch: global, global EEA, global IN, china
Xiaomi.eu is just china miui with some mods for working with global user

Question Need help with root... 🙌 Update... Part 2...

I have updated to the latest MIUI Global 13,0,2,0 and I NEED ROOT ACCESS, how do i go about it now?
i know it cant be done via trwp but fastboot...
i downloaded the miui_STARGlobal_V13.0.2.0.SKAMIXM_eecc15ab63_12.0 but there is no boot.img inside??? (that is the rom version i currently have installed)
PLEASE help me root my device

1. Yes and it takes 168 hours to complete and ends with a format. Use official mi unlock tool.
2. There is only one custom ROM. It is the Xiaomi EU ROM and available on that forum or via mifirm.net
3. Safetynet will not pass while on a rooted ROM. Unless you use magisk. My question is why do you need root? The Xiaomi EU ROM passes safteynet and all you banks, gpay etc work fine without root. There is no working twrp on A12, all A12 updates on Xiaomi EU ROM are fastboot.
4. Plenty of guides in this or the Xiaomi EU forum for 11 Ultra but obviously there is always risk in flashing but even when bricked, these can be brought back to life with the help of anyone with an edl account.

Awesome, thank you kindly for that great reply,
2) is that custom Rom any better than stock or has some sort of advantage over stock? Extra features, programs, tweeks...?
This custom rom come pre-rooted?
3) i don't need root for anything in particular, I've always had root on every single Android I've ever owned, once in a blue moon it comes in handy, i do plan on using magisk,
- from memory mine came with Android 11 Global, will twrp work on that?
5) That 1 custom rom, does it receive updates or voids warranty? And it is possible to revert back to stock but not downgrade Android versions...?

2. We call it "custom" but it just stock miui China rom of 11U with some mod for working in global area
As u know if u unlock phone, some app will not work normally (like banking, Google pay, Netflix...) they already fix almost all of the problem like that. And every default app can be uninstall easily (but xiaomi already have the way to uninstall thêm too).
And it isn't pre-rooted
3. If u dont want to do anything with root, i recommend u to stay away from it.
A11 is working fine with twrp, u can find official twrp in forums

Maybe u need to upgrade step by step
If u dont want to do that, just unlock your phone, use xiaomi flash tool and flash official miui 13 EEA stable fastboot rom

Oh, just noticed that my phone came with an unlocked boot loader so that's a bonus,

2. We call it "custom" but it just stock miui China rom of 11U with some mod for working in global area
As u know if u unlock phone, some app will not work normally (like banking, Google pay, Netflix...) they already fix almost all of the problem like that. And every default app can be uninstall easily (but xiaomi already have the way to uninstall thêm too).
And it isn't pre-rooted
3. If u dont want to do anything with root, i recommend u to stay away from it.
A11 is working fine with twrp, u can find official twrp in forums

You mentioned if I unlock my phone some apps won't work... You mean if I root my phone right? There's magisk hide that Helps to bypass these restrictions...
If there's no custom ROMs or special mods then I don't see the point in installing twrp? Unless there's advantages of twrp on Xiaomi phones?
Can I root the current stock firmware that's installed now on my device ?

Some app check unlock status, not just root status
Yes
Yes, can root without twrp, just need to find correct boot.img file
Global miui 13 - link added -awesome update
Update: this is only for mi pilot program accounts, I didn't know that I am part of pilot program until this update. Many people are commenting in here without reading comments that says it is for pilot accounts so I had to add this update...

Thanks, so is There any advantages of twrp on Xiaomi?
And lastly, once rooted, can I reverted to stock again by flashing original Global firmware?

with me, i just need twrp when i want to use xiaomi.eu rom, they usually realease recovery zip file for update rom. But now still no working twrp with A12, so they realease fastboot rom, and i dont want to use xiaomi.eu rom anymore so i dont care about twrp
yes. u can always comeback to stock with flash fastboot rom (or recovery rom with working twrp)
i prefer fastboot rom because i just think it's cleaner than recovery (LOL)
And with fastboot method, u can relock bootloader if u want, just need to carefully pick the right rom of your phone original. (eg: global unit can only relock using global rom, eea with eea rom, CN with CN rom)

I have updated to the latest MIUI Global 13,0,2,0 and I NEED ROOT ACCESS, how do i go about it now?
i know it cant be done via trwp but fastboot...
i downloaded the miui_STARGlobal_V13.0.2.0.SKAMIXM_eecc15ab63_12.0 but there is no boot.img inside??? (that is the rom version i currently have installed)
PLEASE help me root my device
PS_ i have seen a few posts saying that magisk hide no longer works???

I will never use that rom, because it isn't official
If I want custom rom, i will go for xiaomi.eu
And here i talk about official fastboot rom, thanks

You're misinformed.
They offer the official rom, all they do is to pack it in a fastboot installer.
Again, official rom, repacked. I'd advise a fact check because you are active in answering people, but your knowledge is obviously partial.

whatever, i just dont care
I only trust what i think i can trust, not just few online random people
And dont judge people because u think u are better

ok, device is rooted... THANK YOU!

If I unlock and root my phone, it's possible rollback all to the original status? Turn back locked and unrooted? Or maybe just unroot?
