TLDR: I tried installing AEX rom and I bricked my mi9, getting it in a fastboot loop. Flashed a bunch of things and now I think my firmware is messed up. Help.
First I flashed TWRP, then I flashed the AEX rom and gapps, but phone got in bootloop, then I tried just flashing the ROM and it worked. After I flashed gaps it got into bootloop again.
Then I read the instructions from the AEX thread and I flash the recommended Firmware file (v9.6.13), and the flash failed.
I wiped everything, reflashed the ROM without gapps, and at restart the phone. Got stuck in fastboot.
Tried reinstalling TWRP with no success. Tried flashing MIUI with their flash tool but it didn't ended the flash procedure even after 20 minutes...
I tried to directly boot the recovery image (TWRP) and I was surprised that the phone booted in MIUI, but wifi wasn't working. Did not test anything else. Restarting the phone got me again in fastboot loop.
I tried again flashing with mi flash tool and this time was succesfull.
Then I tried to flash a MIUI eu ROM and got the phone again in fastboot loop. Flash was succesfull, but when restarting TWRP said that there is no OS installed.
I decided to give up and flash global MIUI 10.2.13 back.
But now my phone has some problems. Auto brightness doesn't work and video recording freezes the camera app when image stabilization is enabled.
So, is there a way to reflash 10.2.13 rom firmware using mi flash tool?
I suppose the first Firmware flash that was unsuccessful messed the firmware up...
Or how do I get my phone back to factory status...
I suppose v9.6.13 firmware is China developer and was an upgrade and that I should downgrade to 10.2.13 rom firmware.
Or flashing developer global will solve the problem? And how do I do that?

Hmm, so where are you at now!? Have you got twrp installed? and 10.2.13 but with issues, right? or are you on stock recovery?
Current status: I managed to flash fastboot global ROM in mi flash, and stock recovery.
But the firmware is messed up.
Camera doesn't work well. And from normal use I saw that Gyroscope, light sensor and compas aren't working at all...
Phone reboots itself and I can't unlock it because pattern isn-t recognized anymore, untill I reset it by long pressing the power button.
From CIT menu gyro, light sensor and compass are definitely not working.
Would flashing latest firmware from TWRP be a possible solution? My bootloader is still unlocked and I can flash TWRP.
Or should I format vendor partition first? And then flash firmware?
Fastboot flash did solved firmware problem.

To be honest I'm not entirely sure if it'll help, but, I'd put global stable flashable zip on otg, then I'd flash twrp again, boot to twrp using buttons not commands, wipe cache, dalvik, vendor, system, data, internal. Then format data, swiping with confirmation 'yes'. Then flash latest global again over the clean device from otg. You could try using mauronfrio's twrp 3.3.1-35 instead of the one you linked get it here. That's just what I'd try, can't say whether it'll help and no guarantees it'll fix anything... Let us know the outcome bud.
You can download the latest flashable rom from here
I can't see why ur sensors etc aren't working anymore, it's got to be all software related me thinks
Do not try to reboot after wipes, you'll have nothing installed

Correct me if I am wrong, but flashing a stock MIUI zip form twrp won't work.
Or you are saying that I should flash a xiaomi eu ROM?
Got another sugestion:
Someone said that there is the posibility that mi flash didn't flash persist partition and that I should try to force flash it.
Referred thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/re.../how-to-flash-persist-partiton-redmi-t3830310
Is this a possibility?
And shouldn't mi flash reflash everything?

Hold tight bud, just checking. I remember doing that - and the stock rom flashes but you no longer have twrp, it flashes the whole system/vendor including recovery. But hang on 'cos I might be recalling my pocophone F1 for that proceedure. The reason I suggest to reflash twrp is simply to have better control over a fully clean wipe, before progressing to flash rom again. Like I say, hang on just checking...

Yes, miflash should flash everything, but you say you started flashing other stuff when it all went wrong, so I'm really not sure what's happened to ur device. Hang on anyway, still checking on the flashable zip ..
---------- Post added at 09:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 PM ----------
Nope, I think you're right, it was the poco I was getting muddled with - haven't had to do this in while (poco has flashable stock zips somewhere...). It is possible to do it with lazy flasher, but that may start getting messy again. Have you tried re-flashing fastboot? Can you wipe much at all in the stock recovery - again, I can't remember.
Failing that, yeah, I'd seriously consider flashing twrp and flashing mi-globe or eu rom. I prefer mi-globe (although currently using beast rom) over eu simply because you can customize it more on the website. Though, I wouldn't recommend pre-rooting it. Root after, if need be. Any way, we'll cross that bridge later... For now just try to re-flash

Didn't get this.
Is it ok to format vendor partition? will it be recreated wen flashing again? using mi flash or from twrp?

I'm pretty sure you won't be able to wipe much in stock recovery, but just wipe what you can and try and re-flash fastboot. Don't flash twrp yet. You could try downloading again the fastboot file, in case of any corruption. Hopefully on the second flash all will be well. But that said, it should've been OK on the first flash :/ in theory
just flashed xiaomi eu rom and everything seems to work now. All sensors are working.
I had to disable signature check, and i got an mounting /system error -> got the message that is installed without changes... whatever that means
And now in TWRP, I think, my files are encrypted without enabling it.
Will try other roms later.
Thanks for the help.

I updated to MIUI 13 from miui.EU and now I can not go back to an older ROM even with full data formatting. I am seemingly stuck on this ROM. I really don't like it. Is there any way to go back?
Flash the older rom using fastboot method and necessary files.

Did you've installed TWRP?
Then factory reset in twrp
Boot TWRP again
format data with yes.
Boot TWRP again
Flash fw and vendor if MIUI or not if oss
Flash rom
Flash magisk or not
Format data again with yes
Boot system
In my opinion this should work with every recovery rom

Of course it won't, because the flash_all.bat has a couple lines in the beginning that have anti-rollback, you have to modify it with notepad, just open with notepad and delete those lines, then save it and flash normally.

Which lines? When I tried that, it would not start.
I did it, it won't work.
I think I fixed it I took the fastboot script out of the miui 13 update and put it in the folder for the miui 12 fastboot. It stared the old boot logo. It is started now. I hope it is stable. Thank you all for the help and suggestions.
So my RN10Pro is running MIUI 13.0.8 . Is it possible to download a MIUI 13.0.8 ROM from the Mi website and flash it to "Reinstall" the os?
Also, does this method need extra things like TWRP or is the unlocked MIUI bootloader enough?
You can reflash yes, I tried it before but on a different phone. I think you can do it in the Updater in settings too, I did mine in twrp by flashing recovery rom and doing a format data because of encryption. But to be sure (and avoid any errors), use fastboot flashing instead. It will wipe the data so be sure to backup.

So to be clear, it needs the unlocked bootloader right? Guess I have to wait 7 days :/

You can relock it afterwards if you're not planning to do any modifications or move to a custom ROM.
Hi.
So I recently found that my phone is using boot_b to boot up the phone, and I entered TWRP and change the boot solt to boot_a. In result, the device kept rebooting in the first page of boot (Powered by android page). And after I switch back to boot slot b the issue disappear. At first I thought the boot image was currupted and I flash the downloaded rom from xiaomirom.com and flash it using miflash via fastboot. The issue presists after flashing even without any modification (magisk/twrp/etc.). Then I thought that maybe the flash didnt include boot_a so I did:
`fastboot boot TWRP.img`
and then change the boot slot to boot_a and flashed again via fastboot. The issue still presists after that and now I have no idea what is wrong.
So I just want to ask that is anyone experiencing the same issue as me? And also how to fix the issue?
Thanks.

Start by restoring the phone with this tool.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/flash-tool-guide-use-xiaomi-flash-tool.4262425/
Then downloaded an old Xiaomi Eu rom fastboot.zip and installed it in fastboot mode (scrip included in the zip first install.bat).
Then install the Twrp and update via OTA.

Most probable reason is that you have previous version or ROM in slot A, while in slop B is the latest, one you are using. Same has happened to me. You can download recovery version of the ROM you are using and flash it in TWRP to slot A. I did that with Global ROM V13.0.7.0.SLBMIXM and now I have it on both slots working fine.
