Going back to MIUI global from LineageOS

I like LOS, clean and fast, but now I want to go back to official Global Rom with no root etc (basically, going back to stock, how you got it first time).
Anyone can point me to the right direction?
Do I just follow the Fastboot method found here: http://en.miui.com/a-234.html ?
Just don't want to brick my phone.
Thank you

I just followed the fastboot method from miui.com and it works just fine.
If for some reason the MiFlash don't recognize your device try installing Mi PC Suite.

Did you have to do anything before that? Like format anything from TWRP?

I assume you got TWRP installed.
1. Download latest ROM here
2. Put in your phone or /sdcard/download
3. Boot to TWRP
4. Wipe everything EXCEPT /sdcard or something in the internal
5. Install/flash ZIP then choose the ROM in /sdcard/download
6. It is going to take quite a long time due to you're flashing about 1.3GB zip file
7. Reboot
8. You will notice that the TWRP is gone, so bootloader back to stock
9. After phone set-up, try to clean format again from the phone's setting
10. Done
If you want to lock back the phone, use:
fastboot oem lock
Then everything goes back to normal. Hope this helps.

Maybe try to flash an newer version (always via fastboot). Be sure about the ROM you're downloading!

Maybe this could help you. BUT IS VERY RISKY

It's risky because if the ROM is not right it will mess up your phone completly.
Did you download it from the XDA thread, right?

Try a different USB port or cable... Somehow solved it for me. Keep flashing the latest fastboot version and remain patient

I faced something like this...stock rom was not flashing...some error shows up... someone told me to change the fastboot rom file directory...i copied the rom to my desktop...thn it worked...i don't know if it would help...but why not give it a try

Thanks to everybody who gave their advice here. For me, it was a PC problem (or adb driver problem). I factory reset my PC cause I have cloud backup, and started the process clean. From there, I only downloaded Minimal ADB and Fastboot. Then I tried MiFlash, and the flashing process went through without any errors this time.

Hello,
I have the same problem, screen stuck on Fastboot.
It happened after having cleared up too much with TWRP.
I can't figure out how to flash back the original rom.
I see lot of tutorials and roms but nothing really clear.
I downloaded Mi Flash Pro.
Questions:
- Where can I find the last official rom for Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro / Redmi K20 Pro? (for European Union)
- How can I use Mi Flash Pro to re-install it back?
Thanks a lot for your help

Hello,
I found the solution with the right explanations and source where to get the rom and the software.
Unfortunately, as a new member here, I cannot share the link...
Will do it whenever I can.

Fastboot bootloop

I installed he wrong ROM on my Remi k20 pro and then decided to go andinstall the correct one but it kept giving me an error so in TWRP in the wipe I pressed advanced wipe and selected each box thinking it was the right thing to do and now I can't recovery flash twrp, it just brings up the fastboot screen. Any one know what I can do to load TWRP back on to it?
Thanks.
Bye.

You'll have to flash correct full fastboot ROM with flashtool mate. Remember to uncheck CLEAN ALL AND LOCK option

Here: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/
Search for your phone with K20 Pro or Mi 9T pro and download with the region you have whichever you have although it doesn't make a difference as long as you keep bootloader open. Only difference is Call app and NFC.
AGAIN: UNCHECK THE CLEAN ALL AND LOCK OPTION BY CLICKING ON "CLEAN ALL" ONLY.
If you don't know how to flash using flashtool or setting up flashtool search for guides there's plenty.

Get the fastboot ROM from here
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/supported/miui/
Choose the fastboot ROM for the phone you have (Chinese, Indian, European, Global)
Use this guide to flash it
https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2
View the page in desktop mode if viewing on a phone.
In step 5 change the flash option to 'clean all' before hitting flash.
You normally only need to wipe data, cache and dalvik (This is what factory reset wipes in TWRP) at most. It's very rare you'll need to wipe anything more. Don't wipe anything else in TWRP, unless you know you're about to flash something that will replace what you wipe. If you are flashing something and you don't know all that it will install, don't wipe anything more than a factory reset.

It's ok, just flash the vb_meta file. reflash twrp and you'll be in recovery again. flash vendor and reboot recovery.
The problem arose cause you wiped the vendor. Next time don't do that. (unless you are using oss rom)
Guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/simple-beginners-guide-to-raphaelin-t4020543
follow the STUCK IN FASTBOOT FIX
I'm assuming your error is error 7?
just follow ERROR 7 FIX and you'll be fine
TLDR: reboot without vendor caused issue. Use ofox 10.6

Which MIUI ROM I can flash ???

Hi,
I was using PE+.
decided to try Masik 16.1 MIUI 12
flashed and booted successfully.
Then tried to disable system apps in Masik ROM, and disabled Security app too !!!
after that settings was crashing every time !
so tried to install MIUI Global 12.0.2 using platform-tools folder method ( flash_all.bat )
after double clicking flash_all.bat file it shows me error in cmd like ,
"Current device antirollback version is greater than this package"
"antirollback check pass"
"Mismatching Image and device"
and cmd closes automatically.
flashed PE+ again
what precautions should I take from now if I want to flash MIUI ROM again ??
Thanks

I think you flashed the wrong firmware. Maybe it was for mi 9t

ummm...
don't know,
I made necessary changes in ZIP file
means, changed codeName in updater-script file so it wont give me that "codename = rephael" error...
I disabled security app in Masik then this all happened !

Zip file...?? It should be a .tar then extract it, another compressed file, extract that and you should get a normal folder. Then you select that folder with the mi flash tool
Edit: also never disable security app on miui, no matter the rom

If you don't need to recover from a brick or driver errors don't bother, I find it easy to use though so next time maybe try that and don't change files. Flashing ROMs through recovery should work, does it not work?

If you ever want to switch back to miui I recommend sticking to custom miui versions, mortal os for example should be debloated as is. Just don't remove anything else or if you do use the ADB debloat tool as it has got a safe list of apps you can remove without damage

no.. I didn't remove anything from extracted ZIP file...
I just changed device codeName in updater-script file, from "raphael" to "raphaelin" so I can flash it through recovery.
or else it will give me CODE_NAME error while flashing it.
I think I will stick to Custom ROMs !!! Exo-X or PE+
Thanks for reply :good:

Question Bootloader

Hi recently I tried to install TWRP on my xiaomi 12 pro but instead it made my phone stuck on fastboot, I used mi flash to flash it to the normal rom but it said something about it being not supported so I picked wipe date on the phone and tried to install a different version but, now apparently the phone is locked and I do not know how to unlock it to flash it again. any help will be appreciated please.
Things I've tried
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flashing unlock
Mi flash - I cant flash because the device is locked and I have not logged in with a Mi account.

Which version?
So as not to make the same mistake again if we manage to save the phone.
Which TWRP and which command.
For Miflash you have probably left the flash and lock box checked.
If you could post the Miflash log (Miflash log folder)

I used this guide to install twrp
I put global rom instead of europe rom which came with my phone
I do have another xiaomi device I was wondering it I could somehow transfer the account to my bricked phone then flash it that way

Is the version of your phone Chinese with a Xiaomi EU rom?

I bought it from Here
It says in the description that 'The initial Chinese version has been updated to a global ROM.'
so I'm not sure when I got it I checked the rom and it said the Europe version I tried to update the version but when it was ready to install it said 'your device supports twrp' and I clicked ok to the instructions and when the device booted back up it was in recovery mode and I pressed restart and no updates were made.

It is a Chinese version.
post the Miflash log (Miflash log folder) so I can check what you did.
The log is between 20 and 25 KB and starts like this
[23:28:45 eeab043a]:MiFlash 2020.3.14.0
[23:28:45 eeab043a]:vboytest index:1

As you have on my tutorial, this is the mistake not to do with a Chinese device.
Now to be sure, flash a Chinese rom with Miflash by checking the Clean all box.
Either the phone works again or not, Miflash will give you the error, surely 'lock state'

yes it says failed remote: erase is not allowed in lock state, im trying to get out of that mode I need help with that
