I need to understand how to update to the new Stock merged partition. Have been reading general advice in various threads that we need to flash new China developer rom. Can someone elaborate regarding how to do this and where to get this rom? Do we need to re-root? Do we need to reflash recovery?
I see that many new MM roms are using this new Stock partition like Matoxxi's newest RR rom. So want to know. Detailed help is highly appreciated... Thanks...

I too would like to see a proper procedure..
This is what I personally did. Was on extended partition. With TWRP as recovery.
1) Flash the cwm r11( or any working cwm) recovery. Needed to flash the repartition zip!! Don't use TWRP. Did this once and had a dead phone. Reboot to recovery. You'll be on CWM.
2) Flash the back to stock partition zip. Choose the one with "el pierro verde" in it.
3) Flash TWRP recovery. Boot to recovery.
4) Flash the 5/12/17 miui zip. This is the ROM which merges the partitions. At this point the partitions are not merged yet!
4.1) Boot the phone up. Reboot to recovery
5) Repeat step 4. Now the partitions are merged.
6) Flash any ROM that you desire.
Of you are on stock partition with TWRP skip steps 1-3.
Good luck.
If you are on MIUI ROM, install 5.12.17 first to merge partitions and then 6.2.4 via Updater app. Xiaomi.eu version is tuned for europe/outside china, Google Apps are included in rom.

Or you can just MiFlash 6.2.4 chinese developer rom factory image from en.miui.com.
Thanks for the details. I did try this out, am on original stock partition... Flashed 5.12.17, two times as per step 4. Rebooted but the partition remains resolute at old stock and does not merge. Am using twrp 2.8.7. Tried this twice, no success... Need advice... Thanks
The only quick way to setup the new partition for now is to fastboot flash the Chinese Dev ROM, as you yourself already stated. You can flash it by fastboot flashing it using Mi PCSuite and choosing the Beta ROM.
On my experience, after the flash I got my bootloader locked ("fastboot oem device-info" resulted in Device unlocked = false), but I can simply unlock it through fastboot without any problem.
From that point, you can easily flash any custom ROM.
Or even MIUI V6, with manual, per partition fastboot flash rather than using MiFlash/Mi PCSuite because of different partition layout; V6 and lower got two boot, modem and system partitions for TDB, while the new has only one.

Can you boot the phone after the first flashing? Than reboot to recovery and try step 4 again.
Have a look to
http://en.miui.com/thread-209941-1-1.html
there you can find a zip (cancro_merge_partition(2).zip) and the guideline how to use. For me it worked fine.
It does the repartitioning through fastboot by executing 1 shell script. Afterwards you might want to update your recovery rom to an English version.

I believe you have to use default Mi Recovery. One time flash of 5.12.17 was enough on my Mi4.

It got auto updated? So did you flash stock recovery? Or used twrp
I downloaded 6.2.4 into my phone and then choose the file to update from miui itself, and it will reboot to twrp recovery and install. After fully install and reboot. Only then it will have merged partition and MM miui. And back to stock recovery automatically.
I just fastboot 6.2.4 rom successfully... Now will flash twrp...
And made my first big mistake going in for 6.2.4 beta... It has locked bootloader and a load of Chinese **** you can't make sense of and have to forcefully bear it. Please can anyone help me to unlock the bootloader without begging to the ****ty miui folks?

First of all, if you planned to stay on MIUI MM, you don't have any options than requesting an unlock permission to Xiaomi.
If you just want the merged partition and prepared to flash any custom ROM or MIUI V6, enter fastboot then send this command:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
The reason is that when you unlocks the bootloader through fastboot, it automatically wipes out your phone. IDK why, but possibly inherent to Android's design for security reasons.

I tried this out, the phone got all wiped but the OEM unlocking button does not work still. So how would I know if the bootloader is unlocked?

OEM Unlocking button? You meant on the Developer Options? That button is currently useless with no function at all. If you want to ascertain if your bootloader is unlocked or not, try sending
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
via fastboot. If the "Device unlocked" comes out as true, then your bootloader is already unlocked.
Ooooor just try to flash any custom recovery/ROM. If it works, then your bootloader is already unlocked.

Yeah, it might be set to true once you had flashed another unsigned image to the eMMC (or when you disconnect the battery, IDK), probably for the warranty checks :q.

Hello people
i'm aware that there are guides out there, but i'm honestly not the best at all this flashing stuff, i have done it to a few phones but this one needs to be done just right!
So, where should i begin?, i reckon i should start with unlocking the phone via the unlock tool (i am registered and accepted) and then flash TWRP via that tool?
or is the best/only way of flashing TWRP with the ADB fastboot?

Your thread is getting slightly confusing so let's do it step by step.
Is your phone currently unlocked?
To check, put it into fastboot mode manually without adb:
Turn off your device. Then turn on your device again while holding volume down button.
Plug in your device. Use fastboot:
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
Post screenshots.
Reboot your phone. Post a screenshot of your "About phone" settings menu.

Hi,
sorry to hijack this thread, but i also have problem flashing TWRP.
I have unlocked phone.
I have USB debugging enabled.
I can reboot to fastboot via adb.
I ca flash twrp (twrp-3.0.2-1-gemini.img 25.2M 2016-07-19 18:48:36 EDT).
But when i go to recovery i still see Mi PcSuite thing. No twrp.
What am i doing wrong? IS there some other, more appropriate twrp image?

I got mine sorted out, what you are missing is when you are done flashinh you have to type "Fastboot reboot" and then set TWRP to default recovery
hope that helps you out
Same problem for me, when i type "Fastboot reboot", my Mi5 reboot quickly and after when i go to recovery i see also Mi PC Suite....
Do you have a workaround ?
Second question, is it normal that time to send TWRP.img to phone in ADB is only 0,9s ?

I assume nothing will work if windows does not have correct drivers installed.
Can I install the fastboot driver manually ? which driver ?
Btw, the phone is detected in fastboot mode by the FASTBOOT/ADB command line interface. Is that helpfull to me ?

Afaik...to flash latest pie base firmware, first you need to unlock your phone's bootloader and then only you can flash available fastboot firmware (pie based) using MiFlash tool.
Try to OTA update using WiFi(Keep the phone to airplane mode and just turn on the WiFi and then try to update). Also before updating the phone just turn on the oem unlock switch under developer option on safer side so you can unlock your bootloader later if anything goes wrong while updating your device since many people have reported that they've bricked their device during updating their device..
Updaing to PIE was successfull.
Used this guide to unlock bootloader: https://www.androidexplained.com/mi-a2-unlock-bootloader/
Then used the MI FLASH tool to apply the stock rom. First atemp failed with "write error" after 55 seconds, but I tried a second time and this time the process completed.

1 post on second page. But thread started says he can't flash fastboot ROM.
i tried to flash lineageOS and messed up my phone again, i don't know what i did wrong, now i have to flash the stock rom and wait for another 7 days for the bootloader to unlock. Then i paniked when i saw my folders had weird names (it was ecrypted) and my dumb ass formated the data on my phone and my phone is literally empty. I cant restore the previous version because i cant transfer the backup from my pc to my phone.
Is it possible to flash custom rom in the condition my phone is right now? or at least flash the stock rom and bypassing the 7 days lock?

To flash to custom rom the bootloader must be unlocked.
If you have unlocked the bootloader and you re-lock it with MIflash, no wait after to unlock it.
You can flash a stock rom with a locked phone with MiPc suite or this method.
