I flashed the 10.4.6.0 stable on my redmi k20 and I was trying to do the Gpay and while I was in the TWRP I went to wipe and selected these option wipe, advanced wipe, and selected dalvik, data cache and system and now It says no OS and can't copy files to the phone, and I'm just stuck on the TWRP, Any advice what I can do? Please I'm panicking and sccared I might have bricked my phone or something.

you should not have to wipe the system, always wipe dalvik cache and data not system. you can't boot system or copy files because of encrypted data. you have to flash rom again by using miflash tools with indian fastboot rom .
After flashing the rom if u want to use unencrypted storage then use this script through twrp - format the data and flash.

Thank you so much for the reply, I have the China version, don't I need a chinese rom or must I use the Indian Rom for it?

I also get this error when I select a ROM "cannt find flash script" what does this mean?
just format the data from twrp recovery (where you type "yes") and then you should be able to copy ROM into internal storage again.

I think I deleted something while I was in TWRP recovery and it encrypted the phone in turn not allowing me to write files on the phone.

I wish I knew that before I flashed the China ROM back on the device with Mi Flash and locked the bootloader, now apparently I have to wait 7 days before I can unlock the device with Mi Unlock, unless there;s another way to do it then please I'm all ears, But so far that's all I've managed to do., and I'm thankful the device is still working and I haven;t brcked it or anything,

Just be thankful you've restored the phone and wait out the 7 days. I would suggest using that time to do more reading of these forums, so you can understand more about how to do the things you want and what things not to do.
I appreciate there's a lot of information to take in, but until you're more experienced with flashing ROMs, etc. I would recommend not doing anything if you've not understood what each step in the process does and why you need to do it.
Now you've learnt that the system partition is where the OS lives and why it's not a good idea to wipe it in TWRP without a good reason.

Yeah I'm very thankful, also the only thing I want is to be able to use the phone and all it's features,m and have the most up to date OS. From what I was told 10.4.6.0 is latest stable Miui Version for my device K20 Pro CN, please let me know if this information is correct also I wanted to fix GPay since it wasn't working and so far the guides I've seen are pretty complicated and wish there was a simplified version or one that was more user friendly. Apart from this nothing else, never experienced so much hardship from buying a phone within the first few days.
But thanks for the replies.

10.4.6 is latest chinese stable miui version. 10.4.8 is indian one.
To fix gpay, you have this pretty simple tutorial: https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/guide-google-pay-fix-t3964698
As you wiped system, you have several options to fix it: flash stock chinese in miflash tool (as you did, but not locking bootloader). You also could just flashed twrp by fastboot command and dirty flash same .zip rom...
There's nothing that hard here, you just should not wipe system partition. you should not lock your bootloader in miflash tool. too simple...

Yoi cannot flash, clean or dirty, with a locked botloader. They should update that app and make the clean all and lock not the default option and make it red or something.
Virtually all issues in the k20 pro forum come from people locking their bootloader this way.
There's nothing you can do right now. Use it locked until you can unlock it again. Be thankful you didn't brick the device.

You should get an update but you can flash it as a rom too. I'm actually currently using xiaomi.eu based on MIUI 11 with android 10. It's basically miui without bloat and ads.

Sure. Here you go.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/rom-miui-11-xiaomi-eu-t3973685
Currently this is the beta version, since there is no miui 11 official stable build.
That doesn't mean, however, that the ROM is not stable. For me at least it's been perfect for daily use. By far the ROM with the least amount of bugs as of now. If you want though, they do have miui 10 based on Android 10 stable 10.4.6 I believe. They release their roms shortly after xiaomi releases their builds.

My new MI8 SE is not my daily use, so I got time to check all available MIUI custom rom (eu,Globe,MiRum,Miuipro,Ros,MS and Masik 1.8.)
At this point no problem, they install very well and they answer my needs.
BUT:
AS EVERYBODY should know that it is very easy to delete the central Password and finger print by the mean of our sophisticated tool (I mean TWRP).
In order to be safe '(without turning back to stock rom) I tried to encrypt the phone WITHOUT success...
Process failed every time with different results (full reset, logo loop for hours, partial encrypt for data only). But was always the point that minimum security can't be reached!
Question:
-Can you well sleep If you mind that you are having all your precious data available in the wind as soon your phone is lost or stolen or even worst let in some bad friends hands...? It takes 1 mn to delete the file without any computer.
I see a partial solution by installing afterward a stock recovery that does allow to trick the system file.
(If somebody has it, I am available to test this option, but don't tell me to flash a stock rom as solution!!)
Your comments/solutions are welcome.
You can have encryption with custom ROM, if the corresponding kernel enabled built-in force encryption.
I'm currently running phh treble 9.0 encrypted, with stock kernel patched by this script:

Thanks for taking care of my post.
This is old now.
I've investigated a bit more and found ways to get MIUI custom ROM encrypted. (for now I want to stay with MIUI stuff!)
I know that almost all AOSP like rom may well encrypt from first install.
My aim was and is still to warn people that without encrypt their phone are open like a lost book.
Thanks for the very interesting and documented thread (link) you directed me to.

Just take care to flash latest 1227 version after EU rom older than 8.12.20 date.
In my view it's a mistake to backup anything with TWRP because as of today nothing is stable. Better to stay with MIUI backup and computer duplication.

you flash 9.2.15 with TWRP 1102 or 1217.

Finally i got it working following your instructions on the MIUI EU forum. Thanks a bunch. :victory: :highfive:
To others for reference. Following are the procedures that i followed to boot up Miui Eu :silly:
- Flash official 8.12.13 (Dev Fastboot Rom) through MiFlash.
- Flash TWRP 1102
- Clean Data
- Push/ Copy and Flash 8.12.20( EU Rom), it booted up finally without redirecting to Fastboot.
- Update 8.12.20 to latest available from system updater.
- Now there won't be any recovery or we aren't able to enter into available recovery even though the system boots.
- Flash TWRP 1227.
Hey,
I am in trouble with the K20 Pro (raphael). The first day I bought the device, I installed EU ROM v10.3.17.0 and used for a while. There was no problem. After that, I installed Magisk-v19.3.zip from TWRP and MagiskManager-v7.3.2.apk when Android booted. I just checked to see root privileges. I saw the ROOTED from the a root checker program. Afterwards, I had to transfer the IMEI number of my old phone to the new phone. Therefore, i updated the both IMEI numbers via COM port using WriteDualIMEI program. (adb shell -> su setprop sys.usb.config diag) Finally, I have a bootloop problem on my phone for 2 days. Android is not booting in any way.
What I have tried until now:
1. Installed xiaomi.eu_multi_HMK20ProMI9TPro_9.8.22_v10-10 on PitchBlack-raphael-2.9.0-20190708-0004 (Endless android booting stuck)
2. Format Data -> "yes" and Wipe Cache & Dalvik & System & Data & Vendor & Internal Storage and then installed xiaomi.eu_multi_HMK20ProMI9TPro_V10.3.17.0.PFKCNXM_v10-9 (bootloop stuck)
3. I don't know in which situations but sometimes I get "No OS Installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?" error after installing ROM.
4. Only happened once: Android booted and white spinning progress circle appeared at center on screen. After spinning for 60 seconds, it redirected to the TWRP menu.
Current status: I flashed Fastboot ROM (raphaelin_in_global_images_V10.3.5.0.PFKINXM_20190816.0000.00_9.0_in_5d0a303019) on Fastboot via MiFlash 2018..11.15.0. But i got "not catch checkpoint" error when the process is finished. It Redirected to Redmi-Recovery 3.0 screen. At the bottom of the screen, there was a error: NV data is corrupted
Is my device bricked? How can i fix that?
Thanks

The reason latest beta rom seems backdated than stable rom because of the naming scheme. Beta roms actually has most recent elements than stable roms.

Finally, I fixed that problem. I copied the EFS to TWRP/BACKUPS/your_serial_number/. i had previously backed up. I used the LR team's TWRP, see here. Thank you @theincognito
I installed this ROM via Fastboot, i don't like it. There are so many dipsh*t CN apps and fonts are weird. It's like I'm using the phone in two languages. I am thinking about to install 10.3.17 EU ROM, is that worthy? Or should i install 9.8.29 Q ? I just want everything to be stable, new and up-to-date. Thanks...

Holy cow excrement?! WTF? Why do they tax that thing when it's basically free for everybody else in the world?

Because, IMEI legal registration fee must be made for each phone that brought from abroad. It's about ~$266. And K20 Pro ~$345, Also %18 VAT, Also %25 Special Consumption Tax, Also %6 TRT Bandrol, And finally the base price $345, which is 1978₺ Turkish Liras, comes to an average of ~4500₺ Liras which is ~$785. I'm buying one for myself, and one for the government. If you take a phone from abroad and try to bring it into the own country, you have to pay ~618₺ Liras free to legal registration which is ~$110. Shortly, iPhone 11 Pro Max 512G ($1499) comes to $2614. Pêrfecto!
No IMEI, MAC, damaged sensors
I have the following problem:
I made a Nandroid backup with TWRP without knowing that I was not able to RESTORE, playing a bit for the system fell into Hard brickeo ... revived from there I only remain without working IMEI, Wifi and sensors. I cannot restore my backup since my TWRP could not, what I already did:
+ Flash Rom stock with MiFlash
+ Flash Persist.img with TWRP
My question is if I can restore that backup with a different TWRP and how can I do without dying since I tried and stayed dead once.
Hi I'm not sure if I'm posting this thread in the correct forum but I recently purchased a Redmi K20 Pro from eBay and me not knowing it was a China version with a Global ROM and unlocked bootloader on it. The way I found about this was when I tried to use GPay and it didn't work telling me my devices was unlocked, so did some research and found some guides online about how to fix it non of them being very user friendly most of them telling to do some things without informing you of previous steps that are necessary. But currently I'm on a Miui 10 Global 10.3.2 Stable and was wondering if that's the most up to date system for it, or whether there's another that can be used on it. Also how do you flash other ROMs on the device and what raphael and error 7. Sorry if it doesn't make much sense I'm just trying to figure things out.

When you purchase a phone with the bootloader unlocked,explain that you bought a refurbished mobile phone or a stolen mobile phone. If you want to re-lock the BootLoader, you can use Xiaomi's official flash tool and download the official ROM. After flashing, the phone will re-lock the boot loader. However, please note that you may not be able to activate your phone because you do not know who unlocked your phone. Because the unlocker is authenticated after locking the BootLoader.

You wiped the OS. The OS lives in the system partition, so it's not a good idea to wipe it if you're not about to install another ROM.
Flash a fastboot ROM with the Mi Flash Tool. Just make sure you change the default flash option at the bottom of the tool. You must change it to 'clean all'.
There's are other things you can do, but this is easiest way to get a working phone again. Once again. CHANGE THE DEFAULT FLASH OPTION when using the Mi Flash Tool.

I think I choose the Clean and lock option, didn't know the difference until now, can I flash the phone again with Mi Flash and re choose the option clean all? Will that work?

No. You need to unlock the bootloader again with the Mi Unlock Tool. You can't flash anything with the bootloader locked.

Ok thanks. Also what's the best method to flash the Redmi K20 Pro?
Thanks.
Bye.
i am a mi 11 ultra user, i gought it from China, and i have already unlocked it and flash it to global version Miui 12.5.5.0, now my device shows for an existing update of version Miui 12.5.7.0, which is already dowmloaded to my device, but the device cannot execute it.
i am trying since days to find a way to update my phone to version 12.5.7.0 without success, any body can help to solve my problem.
thank you!
Is that downloaded ROM is fastboot or flashable .zip file ?
xiaomi.eu_multi_MI11Pro_MI11Ultra_V12.5.7.0.RKACNXM_v12-11
this is the name, i don't know what kind of ROM!
The update was received automatically trough OTA or did you downloaded the update manually ?
I had to download the full 4GB or so 15.5.7 update because the incremental one wasn't working.
Please let me know if you need assistance on installing the full update. You can find the rom on one of the threads on this forum.
Good luck !

From the filename it's not the Global ROM but the Xiaomi.EU custom ROM.
This would also mean it's an update to be flashed using TWRP.
Sadly for now the update through system settings doesn't work as TWRP doesn't presently support this feature.
So you need to download the update (which you apparently did ), then boot into TWRP and flash the update from there.

Reboot to TWRP ( use can use the shortcut in settings, device settings, my device and click on the 3 dots top right for menu). Once in twrp, enter screen lock password press return. Select install, select update zip file and slide the slider to the right to flash.
Once done select wipe cache and dalvik, slide the slider to the right to wipe, then select reboot system. This will not format your data as long as it's the same ROM branch you are updating, IE EU weekly to weekly, stable to stable or stock to same stock.
It will take longer to reboot first time but as long as you see miui and 5g, just wait, it will be fine.

You need TWRP to flash that
here is the problem, i have downloaded the TWRP and followed the instructions but the device booted in Chinese language, i have mixed up and stopped the procedure!
Did twrp boot in to Chinese or the ROM? If it's twrp, just type in your screen lock password, then look for settings and select the globe to change to English.
If your ROM is now in Chinese, you flashed the wrong ROM.

my ROM is global, the phone was in Chinese and i have unlocked the bootloader after waiting 336 hours, then flash the Chinese ROM to Global V12.5.5.0, after that i had a message that there is a new update to V12.5.7.0 and here i have stuck!
Yay done with the Mi 11 Pro, only thing I didn't notice was reboot after installation not sure where that is, had to manual restart but updated none the less.
My phone has arrived and in few days, I ll attempt to switch to the EU ROM
(I ve bought a CN unit, which arrived nice and sealed in its box)
So, I ll attempt to follow this guide to the letter: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/howto-install-fastboot-image.64508/
Heading over to sourceforge, I can see that the latest stable releases for my phone are one from AUG and one from MAY i.e.
xiaomi.eu_multi_MI11Pro_MI11Ultra_V13.0.13.0.SKACNXM_v13-12.zip
2022-08-05
xiaomi.eu_multi_MI11Pro_MI11Ultra_V13.0.12.0.SKACNXM_v13-12-fastboot.zip
2022-05-13
But according to that guide, it says "download latest fastboot" image. And thats the older one released in MAY (V13.0.12.0...)
So I presume I cannot use the latest V13.0.13.0 (released in AUG) for this method!?
Is there a fastboot (V13.0.13.0) in the making, so perhaps I could wait a little longer for that?
Or do I just use the one released 6 months ago?

Without functional TWRP in A12, Xiaomi Eu rom provided roms in Fastboot .zip.
Now that there is a TWRP, the roms are in Zip.
Either you use a Fastboot .zip and update via Ota or you install the Twrp and flash the rom.
For updates you must go through the Ota and not flash directly with the TWRP.

Regarding TWRP, do I get the latest version (skkk) or the one from TeamWin? (because both are intended for 11 Ultra I think - codenamed "star")
My guess is skkk, which also says "A12"
Then I can use "xiaomi.eu_multi_MI11Pro_MI11Ultra_V13.0.13.0.SKACNXM_v13-12.zip", which seems to be latest
I plan to use this guide - I hope it is accurate (it says "unofficial"!)

Just done the same thing yesterday. Use 3.70_12-v6.5_A12-star-skk.img. I had problems with fastboot V13.0.12.0.SKACNXM_v13-12-fastboot had failed status read failed (too many links) errors. But think that's just my adb setup in Windows 11. So just used fastboot to boot twrp. Then in twrp flashed twrp to ramdisk reboot to recovery and flashed xiaomi.eu_multi_MI11Pro_MI11Ultra_V13.0.13.0.SKACNXM_v13-12.zip formatted data reboot to systsem. Working V13.0.13.0. I ended up just copying V13.0.13.0.zip and twrp to a flash drive mounted OTG in twrp and installed. Only because of issues with laptop.

Now, I ve backed up everything and was about to flash the phone to latest stable MIUI
But just realised v14 was released in the meantime, in December
But for the 11 Ultra, there is only weekly ROM available (no stable)
Looks like I ll have to extend my wait
As for v13, I can still see that the latest is xiaomi.eu_multi_MI11Pro_MI11Ultra_V13.0.13.0.SKACNXM_v13-12.zip
I wonder - will there be another v13 release for this phone?
Should I go with this latest v13 or wait for the first stable v14 (star) release?
Sometimes, having been presented with choices, makes it so hard to decide! But for sure, I need a stable build for this phone..

Whether Weekly or stable, both are based on the Chinese rom.
For the stable you will have to wait while Xiaomi releases the rom.
I use the Weekly when available and they are really "stable".
Note that if you install a Weekly and move to the stable you will have to format the data.
Also going from A12 to A13, formatting the data is not mandatory but I recommend it.

Ah, OK - so there's no 'stable' MIUI v14 for the 11 Ultra yet? I get it..
As for the format consideration, I m a huge fan of clean installs too. I guess I ll go with v13 for the time being, as I don't have much of a time luxury to wait for the official stable v14..
Seems like it v14 (stable) has just been released for the 11 Ultra!
xiaomi.eu_multi_MI11Pro_MI11Ultra_V14.0.6.0.TKACNXM_v14-13.zip
But is this ROM meant to be installed via fastboot or twrp?
In my mind, it is still not clear what the difference is between fastboot and twrp
I can only presume that twrp is essentially a GUI (vs just typing commands in fastboot!?) But I m not really sure anymore
I ve been an Galaxy S series user over the last years. Back then, I used to flash a new ROM via "Odin". Was that using the twrp method or fastboot? I m sorry, but I m totally confused now
Since twrp is an extra software that needs to be installed on the phone - isn't that come with any drawbacks? What is the more 'clean' approach to installing an MIUI on the 11 Ultra?

Yep, TWRP avoids typing command lines.https://sourceforge.net/projects/recovery-for-xiaomi-devices/files/star/
Two version of roms:
Rom.Fastboot.zip to install with a pc with the Bat file included in the rom folder.
Provided this way if no working TWRP.
Rom.Zip to install via OTA.
If this is a first installation you will have to install the TWRP first then TWRP / wipe format data type Yes (this will erase all your data) and reboot to the TWRp and flash the rom, then the updates will be done via OTA/TWRP.

So basically you imply that recovery (TWRP) is the preferred path
If I understood correctly, the biggest (?) advantage of chosing a recovery ROM (instead of a fastboot one) is the benefit of having OTA afterwards, right? (and maybe simplicity of having the GUI - that is TWRP)
Now, to put this the other way - what's the disadvantage of chosing the recovery ROM over a fastboot one? Is there any? (other than the need to have to install an 'extra layer' - that is TWRP)
So that ROM that was just released (xiaomi.eu_multi_MI11Pro_MI11Ultra_V14.0.6.0.TKACNXM_v14-13.zip) is a recovery ROM. right? If so, the latest twrp (v3.7.0 from https://eu.dl.twrp.me/star/) will work for this brand new MIUI 14?

So that ROM that was just released (xiaomi.eu_multi_MI11Pro_MI11Ultra_V14.0.6.0.TKACNXM_v14-13.zip) is a recovery ROM. right? If so, the latest twrp (v3.7.0 from https://eu.dl.twrp.me/star/) will work for this brand new MIUI 14?

For Xiaomi EU roms regardless of whether they are in ZIP or Fastboot.zip only the way of installing them is different.
For Stock roms, those in Recovery are used for updating or troubleshooting, they only contain the essentials, unlike those in Fastboot containing all the Imgs of the phone.
For the TWRP, you must take into account the version of Android A12 or A13, not Miui13 or 14.
The link https://eu.dl.twrp.me/star/ is obsolete, the one I posted is the official one developed by SKKK.
xiaomi.eu_multi_MI11Pro_MI11Ultra_V14.0.6.0.TKACNXM_v14-13.zip
use
twrp-3.7.0_12-v6.9_A13-star-skkk.img
The first boot of the rom takes 5/8 minutes.

I ll prob do it in the weekend
From what I read, I also have to unlock the bootloader and from a security PoV, I m not really happy about that, but no way around it. Just can't live with the stock CN ROM
Not sure if unlocking the bootloader takes time or if it is instateneous (via the MI website)
As for my concerns over the method (twrp vs fastboot), it would seem that the fastboot is probably more 'clean'
No disrespect towards the developers who made the twrp possible - thus making it so much easier for people to fiddle with ROMS on their mobile and at no cost, but regardless of that, it is still an extra piece of software that resides on the phone. Just the way I understand it. Again, not looking down at twrp
What do you mean by "fastboot containing all the imgs..."?
Isn't it one single image per phone model?
Or did you mean to say 'features' or 'apps'?
Personally, I d be more interested in less/apps/fancy features (except for security of course)

As said above, this only concerns stock roms(recovery/fastboot), not xiaomi Eu roms, whether in Zip or Fastboot, it's the same, only the installation method differs.
Unlocking the bootloader takes at least 168 hours before finalization (time to study a bit).
The latest Stable or Weekly versions are in Zip, so with TWRP.
Unlock
https://new.c.mi.com/global/post/101245
https://en.miui.com/unlock/index.html
Unfortunately, the more I read, the more I m getting kind of disappointed with things 'Xiaomi'
In order to get the unlock process started (1 week..really??), I need to download the MI drivers. OK
So I m trying to search "official" MI drivers and they are nowhere to be found!
All I get is this https://xiaomidriver.com/ which claims to host the official drivers (!)
How can this be for the image of a reputable brand?
How can Xiaomi not hosting themselves all these useful tools like all other major vendors do (in their own domain!)?
How me, as an end user, is supposed to verify authenticity of a driver found on a xyz domain claiming to be the official one?
What's more, at the bottom of this page it says "xiaomidriver.com is not endorsed or affiliated to Xiaomi..."
I mean seriously???
I purchased this phone for its hardware capabilities but is there nothing more than that?
I mean, I get Xiaomi not wanting to encourage people mess with the ROMS. After all, some will end up bricking their phone and then they ll chase up Xiaomi for this
But Xiaomi not hosting something as so very basic as a USB driver??? This can't be right
Even that official page kindly provided by NOSS8 earlier, states "ensure your PC has necessary Mi USB drivers and platform tools" Well...where am I supposed to get these from? The first random site I google up?
........
After bashing my head around this, I eventually found an official link (from miui.com), for obtaining the flash tool from which I can do a workaround to extract the drivers....c'mon!!

It is very simple.
The installation of the drivers is done with Mi Unlock (gear at the top right) then check:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Also download platform tools which would be useful for installing TWRP or performing certain Fastboot operations.
@NOSS8 I tried installing xiaomi.eu Rom MIUI14 on the Mi 11 pro. It booted and everything but whatsapp and camera was not working. Whatsapp not syncing, camera asks for SD card?
So I decided to downgrade to MIUI 13 from Aug 2022 the version in this post above. This is what I did:
1. Fastboot TWRP latest skkk for A12.
2. Flash from TWRP last stable MIUI 13 Rom
3. Phone restarts fine but goes in to loop after connecting to wifi. Please note I have done format data before and after flash
4. I rebooted the ROM to recovery it asks for pin, then says wrong password, failed mount.
Please advise. What should I do? I am happy to toll back to MIUI13 as I am not sure what is going on with MIUI 14. How do solve this problem? Many thanks
It's better to use fastboot when doing downgrade/rollback android or Miui version .
