Im new to flashing custom roms and xda developers.
I tried flashing from a lineage to a miui global rom and I think it got bricked. At the stage where you first set up the phone, at the phase where it shows to wait while preparing device it's stuck in a bootloop. I cant go into twrp recovery since flashing a miui removes twrp, and i cant do anything through usb debugging bcause I cant go past this phase to activate it.
can anyone help?
Download a fastboot ROM and flash it using miflash tool. Make sure in bottom right corner you UNCHECK the CLEAN ALL AND LOCK box, only check on CLEAN ALL only.

I have installed TWRP and then wipe everything(including Internal Storage accidentally). I installed xiaomi.eu stable rom and phone stuck at MI android screen. Then try xiaomi.eu beta rom it is same.
What should I do?
If you have unlocked BL use mi flash to flash stock rom
Flash stock rom using miflash 2018 (portable) since your bootloader is unlocked, make sure you choose clean all, DON'T choose clean all and lock at the bottom of miflash screen before you flash the rom, other wise your device will be bricked.

Thanks, it worked, I solved it by installing rom with fastboot and I know why TWRP doesn't work. Because of encryption. https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-t3817389
My Mi 8 got bricked by the latest MIUI update. I installed the software update from settings and clicked reboot and it booted straight to TWRP (more on that in a bit). I tried rebooting to system but it just went straight back to TWRP. I have unlocked the bootloader and also rooted my phone but as I kept the stock ROM I wouldn't think this would break it. In hindsight, after doing a bit of looking around it seems like people tend to reflash stock.img before updating or something when they've rooted their phone? Wish I'd known that before I clicked update.
I tried flashing a different ROM but when I go to reboot it just says "no OS installed. Are you sure you want to reboot?" and just goes into bootloop stuck on the Mi logo
using fastboot adb tools I can boot it into TWRP (has never worked using the volume and power buttons) and flashing ROMs seems to go okay but reboot says no OS installed and it bootloops, as I said.
I've tried flashing the latest MIUI build for my device, pixel experience, lineage OS and all of them yield the same results. Happy to answer any questions and try out any suggestions that anyone has. I'm really quite desperate!
SOLUTION: I flashed the stock firmware using the xiaomi mi flash tool. This fixed pretty much everything apart from now the camera doesn't work lol

twrp-3.2.1-0611
Wipe everything, FORMAT data and update xiaomi firmware.
i had to flash global rom again because it wasnt booting after root. today i received ota update and now it displays the message the system has been destroyed.
bootloader is locked after flash. my computer still recognizes my phone and i can unlock after 83 hours.
my question is is it possible to flash rom after unlocking bootloader or not? or do i need to i need to follow another method?
i managed to fix my phone using the mi unlock tool and unlocking the bootloader.
one problem that im having is installing magisk. i managed to install twrp but everytime i try to install magisk 2.0.1 i get bootlooped to twrp. i cant boot to android. any help?
Either u can clean install whole system or use magisk manager for recovery to delete all the modules u had(I haven't tried tho ) or clean flash boot.img from latest fastboot rom.

Mi 9T Pro 64 GB Global (MIUI Global 11.0.1 QFKMIXM) with Bootloader Unlocked
I keep running into issue when I install a ROM where one of two things happens every time I try...
I lose TWRP and the system boots directly to Fastboot (seems to happen with MiUI based roms)
I can re-push TWRP via ADB/FastbootTrying to flash any ROMs at this point will result in Error 7 (phone is wrong model)I cannot seem to figure out why or what to do about it. Going back to stock with MiFlash is the only thing I can get to work
I keep TWRP and the system either boot loops or boot directly to TWRP (happens with AOSP Roms)
When this happens it also scrambles sdcard and gives Unable to Wipe FBE Drive when trying to wipeThe only solution I've found to recover is use MiFlash to return to stock and then go through the unlock process again.
I have been trying to follow the ROM dev instructions, which tend to all go somewhat like:
Reboot to TWRP
Wipe Data & Cache/Dalvik (and sometimes System when AOSP)
Flash MIUI 11 vendor/firmware for your device variant (I am guessing this is where I am screwing up, but not sure how...I have also tried starting fulling stock w/OTA updates to see if it helps)
Flash the ROM
Reboot to System
I think this may be an issue of missing something simple, like the wrong FW/Vendor files, but I cannot figure it out exactly what I should be doing.
My goal is to try EvoX and LinageOS; however, at this point I have tried several others and would be happy if I could get any non-factory version working.
Mi device Mi 9T pro . After Flashing Rom my devices is bricked, not turned on. how can i solve this problem .
N.B Unfortunately i Flashed my device with Mi 9T rom.
Hi All, it's time i clean up my K20 Pro as i have upgraded to a F2 Pro.
The K20 Pro has MIUI 10.3.17 CN ROM from about 10 months ago, bootloader unlocked, magisk etc.
When trying to miflash it with a MIUI 12.0.5 CN latest fastboot rom in order to get back to factory, the progress bar completes in 1 second, and status is green and success, BUT the phone does not reboot itself. Using miflash 20181115 with clean all option.
After i unplug phone and reboot it manually nothing was flashed - everything is still on there.
Any ideas?
Thought i would try doing factory reset from within the system and at first it appeared to be going thru the reset - however upon reboot, everything remains.
The other things is i have TWRP on it, wondering if i should do anything there?
Looking for assistance on what the correct procedure is...

Hi, how can one flash without miflash? and the miflash no believe is the last version I think.
Would prefer a miflash completely to get rid of TWRP too.
any other ideas why this is happening?

Xiaomi Flash Tool - Official Mi Flash Tool
Download the latest and Official Xiaomi Flash Tool from the Official Xiaomi Flash Tool Website.
xiaomiflashtool.com
try downloading latest flash tool from this website
if not then try flashing without flash tool and u will not be able to retain twrp if u flash fastboot rom by any means.
if flash tool doesn't work then just extract the zip i have attached here and paste all files of fastboot rom folder in this folder and run the flash_all.bat file and it should work if u have all drivers installed.
The newer miflash worked! thank you so much Ezio!
Would you happen to know if there is any way to get Google PlayStore onto a K20 Pro?
I saw some threads on 'just flash it with a global ROM' - which wasn't the case back a year ago when i had last tinkered.

yes i have an Indian k20 pro and i tried miui global rom it works fine except nfc didn't as Indian k20 pro doesn't have nfc hardware.
So yes u can do that if u want but do note that global rom has dialer and contact as well from google and not mi one.
I remember when I treid it a year ago it didn't work. The phone recognise the rom as for non-chinese and said the version was wrong. Are you sure?
Is the process same as fastboot flashing?
Guess of it doesn't work I should be able to fastboot flash it back again?
Thanks, I just found https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...Vaw1k6QstZklCOzbLJO2p_18T&cshid=1607339448068
I just have to remember not to lock the bootloader.
