K20 Pro popup camera problem

So after trying Xiaomi EU, MiGlobe Rom and Android Q Beta
I decided to flash back to MIUI 10.3.8 via fastboot
Somehow my front camera won't open properly, it kept saying "Can't open front camera, please calibrate".
And when I press Calibrate, popup cam goes up and down 3 times in a row and says "Can't calibrate".
Any idea how to fix this?
EDIT: Must be the fastboot rom I downloaded. Other rom's front cam worked fine...

I am having same issue. Initially I thought it was hardware problem.
But I noticed it seem to be related to software.
Took few restart of camera app and sometime phone restart, for it to work

same problem here
just came from Android Q beta from Mi Global Home, and I decided to go back to MIUI china. The problem occurs after flashing the v10.3.15 china ROM.
Any ideas to solve this?

Did you install a fastboot ROM or go straight to the latest recovery ROM. If you went for the recovery, then I suggest installing the most recent fastboot ROM, then upgrade to the latest recovery ROM.

I wiped all partitions via LR. Team TWRP, and flashed the most recent fastboot ROM. Still doesn't work
after analyzing for like 3 hours, I noticed that all sensors are also not working (Gyro, Accel, Proximity, etc). I googled it and found the solution. Here it is:
by flashing persist.img (from the extracted latest fastboot ROM) to persist partition via LR. Team TWRP, all sensors are working fine. Even the camera's calibration now works perfectly

I've got same issue, coming from Android Q beta. I've put the Indian rom and I thought that this is the issue.

Problem solved! I flashed via miflash the Chinese rom, in fastboot and the front camera was working. Then I've put the Indian global version and front camera is working fine now.

Once done!! My device can't use rom (EU, Miglobe, Indian fastboot rom) except China Stable !! Boot is used for the first time, reboot the device it will stuck into TWRP (eu, miglobe), Mi Recovery. Format data can re-enter the system but continue to reboot the device and it will be similar. Go to the log section of TWRP, the whole message is unable to find crypto footer , erros opening data/data.... !! I do not understand which step I made wrong !! Sr for my bad Englosh

How did you manage to flash persist.img file? Just one file from the ROM or like in the link below?

In L.R TWRP, we can flash other kinf of partitions (like persist, for example)
I always used the "persist.img" file of the stock ROM (installed via fastboot). I trasfered it from my computer with ADB. The command is:
Code:
adb push [I]the_path_where_you_stored_the_persist_file[/I] /sdcard/
To to that, go on "Install"->"Install image"->Now choose the persist.img file-> Choose the "persist" partition -> "Flash image" -> Reboot
Then just wait for the MIUI to tell you to calibrate the camera, now it should work!

You can't show them up. The only way is to change TWRP, hoping that is supported

Facing issues with camera pop up calibration and sensors (proximity) after reverting back to stock miui v10.3.3 (Raphael India through fastboot & zip) after flashing android Q Eu rom.
when flashing persist.img through fastboot it gave write protected error. Through LR TWRP, it didnt show any errors but problem is not solved.
I couldnt flash chinese rom through fastboot, faced error saying expected device is Raphael not Raphaelin.

try flashing 10.3.16 chinese rom via fastboot yesterday i flash that rom and it fix that problem in my k20 Pro

Mi 9 Restoring firmware

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 ..

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

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.

Mi 8 Signal/Data/WiFi Problems?

Hey All, kind of a weird situation here.
My Mi 8 (Chinese Ver. 64GB, 6GB Ram) after updating to 9.9.3 and playing around with Pixel Experience 10, now has constant problems/hitches/crashes connecting to Wifi and Data or getting service overall. This happens with Sim in or out of Phone.
I have tried clean flashing both 9.9.3 and latest global using the fastboot method, clean flashing Xiaomi.eu using TWRP, formatting Data, Deleting Data,System,Cache, Boot partitions and Reflashing stock, as well as flashing just the Vendor from 9.9.3 after clean flashing Xiaomi.eu 9.9.3.
I have attached some screenshots (look at status bar) and some logcats of the Searches Modem and Sim
Help?

It should be ok after flashing with Miflash. You can try flash fastboot ROM with Miflash ones again or flash firmware ( it includes modem ) in twrp.

It happens with or without Sim card. Any Sim I insert does the same. And yes, both Sim slots have an IMEI.
I just tried flashing 9.8.15 persist.img and then flashing 9.8.15 with Xiaomi Flash and it seems to be working so far (no hangups for the last 30 mins) but we'll see if the problem comes back because it all seems fine until a couple of hours later.

You have missed out some info for me to help.

3. Try to install a stable version of global rom

This is strictly a software issue, you have encrypted, deleted or corrupted the images in your persist partition.
Flashing a rom will do absolutely nothing to fix this issue.
This issue is resolved 3 different ways, i have several posts on this. The absolute best/fastest method is to restore persist images from a TWRP recovery backup.
You need to use one of these versions of TWRP : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79908339&postcount=116
method 1
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79824537&postcount=2
Note use an older fastboot version of Global stable if you own a Global device. if you own a Chinese device, use the chinese fastboot rom...Not recovery rom it has to be a fastboot rom and the older versions have the persist images separated,
Global Rom with persist images : https://xiaomifirmware.com/download/11879/
China Rom with persist images : https://xiaomifirmware.com/download/12207/
Method 2 : Restore persist images from a TWRP backup, do you have one?
Method 3 : Use the flashbat method of restoring your phone, the phone must be linked to your Miui account.
Let me know if any of these steps helped. Relax, this will definitely be resolved.

3. Have tried installing every Dev, China Stable, Global Dev (old ofc), and Global Stable along with all of their respective persist partitions. Even tried flashing persist+ROM in EDL.
4. Pics below. All pics below are with the SIM card removed. It has been for a week without SIM card.
I'm pretty sure I'm screwed. Random reboots as well.

Sorry to hear that you are having difficulty.
Unfortunately backup persist images are unique to your device., and need to match up exactly with the device hardware. So do not attempt to restore someone else's TWRP persist backup it absolutely will NOT resolve your issue.
Try this method , it should finally resolve your issue, if it fails try it again and if if it fails. Start over , reread and try again.

Hi,
I have the same problem. Did you find any solution?
Thanks in advance.

This is strictly a software issue, you have encrypted, deleted or corrupted the images in your persist partition.
Flashing a rom will do absolutely nothing to fix this issue.
This issue is resolved 3 different ways, i have several posts on this. The absolute best/fastest method is to restore persist images from a TWRP recovery backup.
You need to use one of these versions of TWRP : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79908339&postcount=116
method 1
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79824537&postcount=2
Note use an older fastboot version of Global stable if you own a Global device. if you own a Chinese device, use the chinese fastboot rom...Not recovery rom it has to be a fastboot rom and the older versions have the persist images separated,
Global Rom with persist images : https://xiaomifirmware.com/download/11879/
China Rom with persist images : https://xiaomifirmware.com/download/12207/
Method 2 : Restore persist images from a TWRP backup, do you have one?
Method 3 : Use the flashbat method of restoring your phone, the phone must be linked to your Miui account.
Let me know if any of these steps helped. Relax, this will definitely be resolved.

and if my brother has the same phone ( mi 8) can i use his pack up?

Question [Solved] Help with fixing my phone back to Normal after playing with Roms & Twrp

Got the bootloader unlocked..should've read more & implemented over a proper guide.
long story short:
stared with magisk apk..when phone was fine.. then got into bootloop;
quickly downloaded & flashed the global (lime) MIUI V12.0.5.0.QJQMIXM;
installed twrp; should've done this before.
wasn't able to copy anything into internal storage.
Used Twrp to wipe phone.. & flashed the stock_global_miui_(lime)12.0.5 boot.img in fastboot
because twrp was saying "unable to decrypt fbe device" on internal storage
formatted using twrp.
booted properly but setup says device is locked because associated with existing mi account can't open wifi but was able to activate device upon entering password on mobile data setup completes but device restarts frequently & still unable to access wifi
I think it has something to do with "unable to decrypt fbe device"..
should I try flashing custom rom boot img?
please don't ban me..tell if I did something wrong, I'll correct that..
..
Edit:
MiFlash-tool Worked
Flashing other compaitable custom Rom also worked
..
Had twrp wipe the whole phone and the format the partions
& then flashed in fastboot & everything was normal.
..
FBE device encryption is basically storage encryption that prevents dirty flashing miui rom via fastboot.
this can be avoided by implementing proper procedure of magisk & use of lazypatcher.
Thank you so much.. @Cursader & @zoel.fahmi for pointing me in the right direction.. godbless
[solved]
Currently I'm running Miui just like a new device.
I will make another guide thread on rooting systemlessly & flashing other custom rooms... if I succeed I will link it here..

Try to reboot bootloader
then flash twrp
wipe everything and format the data partition
reboot to twrp again
then flash custom rom
If you're flashing miui again, your phone bootloader will be lock again and you need something like lazy2flasher if you wanna keep miui with twrp and magisk etc.

first of all thank you for taking out the time to read & respond..
I found an article with lazy 2 flasher earlier, I'll look into it..
is there any where I should look to find a suited custom rom for my phone..

you can use custom rom from Poco M3 since it's used the same SoC (662)
here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/poco-m3-roms-kernels-recoveries-other-develop.11969/
check the thread name Poco M3 / Redmi 9T or unified or codename like citrus and lime

whats the difference between Lime, Citrus, & Juice..
Mine is Lime
Juice is Lime & Citrus I think..
So will Juice work on a device which previously ran Lime?
..
basically can I install PixelPlusUi_Juice
or should I first try the lazy2flasher.. & @zoel.fahmi
where do I get lazy2flasher

If anything goes for me (RedmiNote9Pro) i just use miflash to flash original miui and start all over from there, might not be the quickest method but is easy and reliable

If the bootloader unlocked and you can go into fastboot you can flash stock rom and It's just like it came from the store! Here you have link for your convinience: https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2

MiFlash-tool Worked..
(its the best tool for bringing mi devices from rom mess back to scratch new)
Flashing other Rom also worked..(pixelui)
juice = lime + citrus (works for both)
Thank you so much.. @Cursader & @zoel.fahmi for pointing me in the right direction..

Question Phone Soft Bricked ?

Hi guys,
I was on "xiaomi.eu_multi_MI11Pro_MI11Ultra_V12.5.20.0.RKACNXM_v12-11.zip" (rooted with Magisk and with 2-3 modules), this Rom is from end of 2021 so I decided that I have to move on and give a try to "xiaomi.eu_multi_MI11Pro_MI11Ultra_V13.0.13.0.SKACNXM_v13-12".
First I decided to update my TWRP. I can't remember but I think that it was the one included in the v12.5.20 Xiaomi.EU Rom. I wanted to install "twrp-3.6.2_12-v5.1_A12-star-skkk.img".
First I removed PIN + Fingerprint and then restarted in Fastboot and booted with this kkk TWRP with "fastboot boot twrp.img", then I installed it with "Install Recovery Ramdisk", then rebooted to recovery (it was still ok) and finally rebooted to system ... and now it reboots in Fastboot.
I still have access to TWRP and I can see my files, so before I mess up more I'm backuping some files but it's f#£%ing slow .
What step(s) should I do to make the rom work again ?
I think of flashing Magisk-uninstaller (new TWRP told me at the end of installation that root was lost and that I had to re install it). Maybe there is something remaining from Magisk ?
Then, I think I'll flash "xiaomi.eu_multi_MI11Pro_MI11Ultra_V12.5.20.0.RKACNXM_v12-11.zip" again.
Do you have any advice ?
Thanks in advance.
P.S. : I know that I should post on Xiaomi.EU but I've tried to create an account on their forum since many years and it's insane but I used ~10 emails and I always have been detected as a bot or spam .

Always unroot before.
2 options:
Xiaomi eu rom v12 or 13, but you will need to format the data before flashing
Twrp/wipe/format data/type yes/reboot twrp.
If errors(red lines)repeat the operation.
Or use Miflash https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/flash-tool-guide-use-xiaomi-flash-tool.4262425/
In both cases you will lose your data.
You can try a backup with the twrp (without guarantee).

Thank you for your answer.
So nothing special, just flash and format data before if it's a different one ?
The simplest would be to flash again the Rom I was on ?

Of course but my answer was along the lines that it wouldn't work.

Flashed old Rom and everything is fine
So I'm back to the beginning .
Now I don't know how to move to last Xiaomi.EU.
Since kkk TWRP was ok to flash the old ROM, do you think it'll be ok to install last Xiaomi.EU ? Or maybe there is a better/safer TWRP to do it ?
And thx again for your support

Use the lastest Twrp.(updated today).
Make a backup before(Micloud).
