boot.img incorrect -> lost Wifi features, how to get correct boot.img back?

Hello,
I had the intention to install CM13 on my newly purchased Mi5 (that came with "MIUI 7.3.4.0 Global stable"), so after unlocking, I tried to install TWRP on it at first. Because of the technical problems this currently still involves, looking for a solution, I stupidly flashed an incorrect boot.img on my device (originating from this thread that was about another MI5 ROM version). Now the device still works again after a factory reset, but without any Wifi features (Wifi connection, thethering).
Does anyone know how to fix this? I couldn't find any resource linking to another boot.img (I guess I'd need one for 7.3.4 Global) so far and I'm not familiar with Xiaomi phones enough to help myself otherwise.
thanks, r.

Did you clear cache/system/data ?

offcourse, even formatted internal partition and trying flashing using mi flashtool (fastboot rom) give me same result,.

I have exactly the same issue. I tried to install many different MIUI ROMs (China Stable, Global Stable, Global Dev, Xiaomi.eu), but I wasn't able to fix it. I've also recently had my phone serviced and as a result, the screen has been replaced, but even that hasn't solved the problem. I'd like to note that (in my case) the issue started to occur after installing LineageOS 15.1 - I haven't noticed this problem before.

Try flashing the lazy flasher.zip after installing the miui rom.

Mi8 SE Always on display problem

Good day,
from today I hv a problem on my AOD, it keep my display always ON even when it's in standby with date + times
I noted it because the screen is stll gray (pixels on) instead of black (pixels off as usual)
I tried a wipe, then to upgrade my rom fm eu 8.25 to pie eu 8.11.1 but the bug is still here
Someone can help me?

I'm in that ROM and I do not have that problem. install the Chinese ROM to remove any errors and then install the ROM EU again.
I did that once but the sensors did not work.

Thanks for you quick reply
I will try but I don't understand how to flash "original" chinese rom could solve it. If I'm not wrong I need to do a full wipe before eu flash, so all info by previous rom should be deleted

You have to format data before installing eu rom.

yes of course, so I don't understand how a double flash could help

How to return to stock?

Hello guys! After experiencing all custom ROMS including Xiaomi.EU, figured out that every single one has some small inconvenience for me and planning to return to stock, eventually using only Magisk and potentially a custom Kernel.
Managed to install every single version of Global Developer ROM, everything works well except the FaceUnlock that was gone, (the phone remained stucked in China region) and I am not able to access the fingerprint section, after few tries it brings me an error message.
Tried also using MIFlash , but the Fastboot ROM writting took 3 sec to write and stopped as successfully, then nothing but bootlooping.
Currently is the phone is functional, but as mentioned before not able to setup new fingerprints (using cache and data from old recovery and those work) neither Face Unlock.
Tried to Google any kind of solution, but unfortunately nothing worked.
Any suggestion is appreciated.

I see that nobody is interested to support, so I continuously researched and figured out that doing a full wipe and following these steps from this post will solve my problem:

From I don't know which reason I was blocked on China region without the possibility to changing it.

Format Data after rom flash ...

1. It wasnt an action of flash ing another rom,its the same rom,eu rom stable,just downgrade,so you just need to wipe cache and delvick,because if you format data you actually earrase all your phone

Eu rom is not that good, buggy like hell, and full of issues (just look over XDA mi 11 ultra issues and you'll see that all issues are EU rom related). one on a thread lost his screen, others notifications, others over heating, others incompatible applications. etc.
in order to install global rom, you'll have to keep your device unlocked at all times, and using MI flash tool and fastboot rom of a global rom, you can simply and easily flash it to your device (DO NOT LOCK BOOTLOADER, CHECK SETTINGS OF MI FLASH TOOL). pretty straight forward and there are threads in here explaining it, have a quick search.
Maybe you'll lose some of the camera functions (not commonly used, at least for me). but other than that, it is way more stable, way better, performance better, better memory management (which eu rom lacks, I don't care what others say, I care what I saw with my own eyes with latest stable eu version, and not for a day, for 2 and half weeks),
if you need assistance, let us know in here and you'll have a few (including me) will be happy to help you.
