Mi Mix fresh out of the box - How do I get Resurection Remix on it?

Hi Community,
I'm a little bit "scared" to ask for the following, but I have read a lot about it and I'm just getting more confused, so I hope someone can bring clarity.
Situation looks like this: I will unpack my Mi Mix 256gb EU-version this evening and I want to put Resurection Remix on it. Now, what steps do I need to follow to get this done? I know the steps of each process is written in the related post, but how does it play together?
I understood that I need TWRP (to add and remove roms, right?) and then install the rom on top of it. Also, is it then rooted? flashed? unlocked? If I would want the original software on it again, is it possible to install it without leaving marks of the rom?
What confuses me also is, that I somehow have to unlock something through the xiaomi page and wait a few days?
Thank you in advance and best regards from Switzerland!

Dont forget to decrypt your phone after you unlock your bootloader.

First you have to unlock your bootloader in order to flash recovery or fastboot rom. I will add all the links you need in order , so that you can access them fast and without problems.
For unlocking your bootloader first login into your Mi Account on your Mix , after this is done , go to unlock site (en.miui.com/unlock) and apply for unlock permissions ( Remember to use the same account you logged into your device if not you won´t be able to unlock it).Remember too to enable Developer Settings and allow Usb Debugging.
Afer this is done download and find this on google (xda adb drivers) and if you have windows its super -easy to set it up ( Remember to execute the batch file with admin privileges)
Once this is done if you still have adb problems just google and install universal adb driver, I will give you all the links at the end.
After all this and you have received approbation from Xiaomi to unlock and got the code , just plug-in your phone to your computer and enter fastboot mode ( Volume down+power buttons at the same time).
Open Mi Unlock program and enter the same account you used for unlock permissions and your device. After this is done wait for the unlock process to finish and click reboot.
Once you have rebooted your device download twrp , put it into adb folder (C://Adb) and with your device plugged-in type next : adb fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (or the name of your twrp.img , or just change it to twrp).
If you followed all the steps you should have twrp working and ready to flash any rom without problems. If you need more help just answer or send pm . Good luck and happy flashing.

Hey Thanks for the quick reply. I think this will help alot. So far I'm stuck at the first stage :silly: Did not receive an SMS even after 10 minutes. With the second click I received it but my IP is now blocked. Starts good

I can't even get it to reboot into recovery, it now freezes at the screen that prompts you to go to pcsuite!

Do you mean fastboot, have you installed a recovery? We don't know how far you have got. Power and vol- for fastboot. When mi logo appears let go of power button but keep vol- pressed till you see fastboot screen.

doesn't work, I had to go this route:
http://en.miui.com/thread-500625-1-1.html
and to threadstarter: if you are not in China, you don't have to do the unlock request. If you're on EU rom already, you're unlocked. Just use the thread I posted, it is much, much easier.
You have to use the version in the thread I linked (official MIUI forum) or you'll get a TWRP where the touchscreen doesn't work and you can't confirm

Things have changed, most people did this a year ago when there was no EU ROM, just China ROM and vendor ROM, most came with bootloader unlocked, which is the first thing you should of checked. The fact you have EU ROM would normally mean that bootloader has been unlocked but sometimes they re-lock the device.

Yeah... so that's what I meant. Even more confused now. My phone is definitely locked (checked with bootloader) and after I tried to apply again after 24 hours the weird chinese message pops up again and the application fails.

Did you check using fastboot if your already unlocked,
fastboot OEM device-info
Assuming you have your pc set up which is the guides section.

Factory reset? It can't be broken, careful you don't kill it completely. Did you use the correct tool from miui.eu?

Just a quick follow up:
I waited 59 hours and now I could successfully unlock the phone. Will proceed now with TWRP. Yey.

BOOTLOOP (Cant enter recovery or fastboot) after android 11 update...

After applying the lastest update which turns out is android 11 all google apps stopped working.
When trying to downgrade i ran into the anti rollback protection when using fastboot mode (with multiple different application)
So i figured i'd flash TWRP and see if i could downgrade the rom using TWRP.
When flashing TWRP the regular way wouldn't work (TWRP wouldn't start) i used this method: https://unofficialtwrp.com/twrp-3-4-1-root-xiaomi-redmi-10x-5g/
Which includes flashing vbmeta.img and misc.bin
After doing that my phone is in a bootloop and i cant get into recovery/TWRP of fastboot anymore. So if i hold down volume up or down it just keeps rebooting after seeing Redmi with the unlocked icon on the top. There is a little vibration and then the screen then kind of fades away and it starts again...
After running into a lot of trouble with this @##[email protected]#%@ China only phone, but always being able to recover it, did i really fully brick it this time?

Use this tool and flash fastboot ROM with sp flash

Thanks mate. I cant seem to download the file, but if i could, would i have to get my phone in EDL mode to get this working? And if so, does that mean taking of the backplate and connecting pins? Or is there another method?
EDIT: HOLY CRAPOLY! That worked!!! I googled the filename to download that file somewhere else. I had no idea how to use it, but i just ran the tool, clicked disable secure boot and plugged in my phone. It recognized my phone and i was able to flash using SP flask tool!!!! It's running atom_images_V12.0.6.0.QJHCNXM_20201217.0000.00_10.0_cn_ac1b4a7af4 again as i'm typing this!!!
Thanks so much man! I already orderd a POCO F3 because i was sick of dealing with all these kind of problems because of the China only rom and sideloading google apps. But at least it's working again!

Hi, i'm doing fine thank you
The tool Hsnmastoor linked to in this thread worked perfect for me and was quite easy to use (if you already have the other tools setup on you computer i guess)
After using that tool (to get my phone in EDL mode i think?) i was able to flash my phone back to "atom_images_V12.0.6.0.QJHCNXM_20201217.0000.00_10.0_cn_ac1b4a7af4" (fastboot image) using "SP_Flash_Tool_v5.2112_Win"
- Turn off you phone
- Start the "MTKSecBootDisableV1.0.0R001.ByMofadal" tool.
- Click "disable secure boot". It will say "waiting for bootrom usb device..." (after 1min 20 sec it will time out. click the button again)
- Hold volume up and connect your phone to your computer with the USB cable (while it's still off).
- You should see some phone info in the screen and at the bottom it says:
MTK Secure Boot Bypasss success!
now you can use SP Flash Tool or any MTK Tool
- Open SP_Flash_Tool_v5.2112_Win (flash-tool.exe)
- Download agent should already have "MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin" selected. If not select it from the SP flash tool folder.
- Under scatter-loading file Select the "MT6873_Android_scatter.txt" from "atom_images_V12.0.6.0.QJHCNXM_20201217.0000.00_10.0_cn\images" (i assume you have already downloaded and unpacked the files).
- Click download and let it flash.
BTW i did it this way because my phone didnt boot anymore at all. Not even into recovery or fastboot. Maybe there is another way to downgrade (but it's probably also hard because of the anti rollback protection)
So this method works (just tested it again on my phone now that it's working normally again) but might not be the easiest.

Tks a lot for reply. But my phone is Miui 12 Android 11 with boot ok and entry in recovery and fastboot (i gues). Miuitool should work with bootloader unlocked to rollback android 10 v12.0.6.0.QJHCNXM right?​

You can try. I think i got the anti rollback error when i tried that.
The method i described above works even if you pretty much mess up your phone completely, so it's a nice backup plan.

Ok I will try to follow your steps. I just have to see for where to go because i dont find The tool Hsnmastoor linked and for me i will study how prepare de pc to do this...but thanks a lot for all explanation about this. I dont known what is EDL mode rs (is the same thing about fastboot ? lol)

The link above also didnt work for me, but if you google MTKSecBootDisableV1.0.0R001.ByMofadal you will find other sites that host the file like: https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=318638&sort_by=date&sort_dir=DESC
Same goes for SP_Flash_Tool_v5.2112_Win. Just google the name like that and you will find links.
Also "EDL stands for Emergency Download Mode, and it's an alternative boot-mode on all Qualcomm devices, existing even lower than the standard bootloader." So its way more basic than fastboot.

Tks for answers. Already read and really not so dificult with your guide lol. i wait 160 hours to unblock bootloader and finally try this... next week apear here to talk about this adventure. Tks a lot

There are methods/tools available to unlock bootloader without waiting. I never tried it because i also had time to wait the week.
Also i assume you can enter EDL mode and flash with the bootloader still locked. But not totally sure about this.

Hi, i did oficial upgrade to miui 12.5 and google apps work well without problems, without block. google play, play services, gboard, youtube, chrome works fine. essencial google apps already comes natively.

"comes natively"? Do you mean the ROM already has google apps installed?
Which ROM did you flash? You say upgrade, but you wanted to downgrade to android 10 again right?

So after downgrade i upgrade official to miui 12.06, after 12.07 after 12.02 (Android 11) and finally show me the update to 12.5.2 and i upgrade. About gapps natively i see a video where a guy show that comes essencial google services

So 12.5.2 is android 11 but Google apps work for you? How did you install the Google apps? Can you link to the video?

If you can't access on your recovery... It's bricked. Are you sure to have flash the good ROM ? When you have this problem, it's due to a bad ROM flashed or corrupted Data / Download (Bad CRC/MD5) flashed under MiFlash on Fastboot Mode.
1/ Try combinaison : POWER + "-" or POWER + "+" with 5 seconds press
2/ Plug your Phone on your computer, launch Xiaomi Unlock (show device ? Locked/Unlocked Status ?)
3/ Plug your Phone on your computer, MiFlash (show device ? Locked/Unlocked Status ?)
4/ Plug your Phone on your computer, try "XiaoMiTool V2" for trying Unbrick

You'll have to pay someone to remote in to reflash the rom onto your phone if its stuck in EDL mode, i had the same issue when i flash and clean lock as well by accident and my phone got stuck in edl mode and this guy managed to fix my device (its costs 2500 Rub which was around £26 for me)

Listen, I would like to thank you for helping me out Brother. I was able to reach out to the person you recommend, however he took a few hours to respond back to be. By the time he did I already had some I found on YouTube do for me remotely as well. Only chargers me $40 US. Im pretty sure I would have been able to haggle him down but figured it was a fare price. He also was kind enough to flash the globle 12.5 ROM as well. On that note, would you know if I'll be able to receive OTA updates? Or will I have to install TWRP RECOVERY and flash the new updates when they come out.? Thanks again for your help brother.

If you can't access on your recovery... It's bricked. Are you sure to have flash the good ROM ? When you have this problem, it's due to a bad ROM flashed or corrupted Data / Download (Bad CRC/MD5) flashed under MiFlash on Fastboot Mode.
1/ Try combinaison : POWER + "-" or POWER + "+" with 5 seconds press
2/ Plug your Phone on your computer, launch Xiaomi Unlock (show device ? Locked/Unlocked Status ?)
3/ Plug your Phone on your computer, MiFlash (show device ? Locked/Unlocked Status ?)
4/ Plug your Phone on your computer, try "XiaoMiTool V2" for trying Unbrick

There's no such thing as "bricked" in 2021... even if you have to flash it via EDL, still not bricked.

I had same situation on Redmi K20 Pro. You'll need to flash it using Mi Flash with a dev account via EDL.
And after flashing global rom, never neeever NEVER lock it back when not having chinese rom on a chinese phone.

You are in edl mode, you can flash this rom :
Official Engineering Firmware for Mi 11 : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1quyYpwV8IkZxnICZ2PEBXduuarxemlBI/view?usp=sharing​i reupload this for you, tell me when you have downloaded it. Flash it with mi flash, let the phone boot, reboot in fastboot and flash the rom you want.

Thanks you for the EDL firmware. I will download it and just in case I'll ever need it in the future. Plus I'll keep you in mind if ever I need help in the future. Honestly, I never had such a hard time reflashing a device stuck in bootloop. I've flashed so many devices in my life time but never came across such a difficult device to repair. More thank likely I'll be sticking to OnePlus. Much easier.

Question Redmi Note 10 5G Global stuck on MIUI Recovery after update to 12.5.5.0

Hello all,
I just got the V12.5.5.0 update on my Redmi Note 10 5G (Global).
After I rebooted the system tapping the complete notification it is stuck on the MIUI Recovery screen.
My device is not rooted. It just has received OTA updates.
I tried to reboot the system a few times, but it didn't work.
Also, I tried the safe mode, but it didn't work either.
After Reboot or safe mode, it returns to the MIUI Recovery screen.
I haven't tried the Wipe Data option because I want to back up my files first if possible.
Is there any way to back up my files or be able to fix it?
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

the only solution is enter into fastboot mode and flash stock fastboot firmware via miflash or similar tool

I tried that, but I am getting an error saying not allowed in locked state. It looks like the bootloader is locked, so I tried to use the Mi Unlock tool but I am getting error 1004. Also I tried wipe data, but it didn't work either. Right now, I don't care loss my data, I just want to have my phone back, any help is appreciated. Thanks

I have the exact same problem, after the update, lock on recovery mode, then when I tried to flash stock fastboot firmware it says that it is locked. And I also can't access Mi Unlock Tool for some reason, so if anybody has a solution to unlock bootloader I would really appreciate it.
Thanks

I got this same issue. Is there any way we can report this to mi? I don't mind if I lose my data rn, I just want this to start working normally again. someone please help if you know how to fix this

Have you downgraded? Tried to, but accidentally locked bootloader. And it shows that version I have installed isn't compatible.

I received the device yesterday, the update notification arrived and I installed it, I didn't imagine it could be a problem, I tried to reinstall the rom but the bootloader is also blocked, I don't know what else to do, I'm desperate.

Found a solution on web. If your phone is on Mediatek(I suppose all Note 10 5g are Mediatek? or no?) So, if it is, just look for an unlocker. You will also need MiFlash and I recommend to install Global MIUI 12.5.4. https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/camellian/stable/V12.5.4.0.RKSMIXM/ - MIUI

unfortunately this tutorial doesn't work here, I followed everything but it still didn't unlock the bootloader

Hi guys, I just woke up and my phone was in MIUI Recovery mode, just like yours.. Probably made the update automatically.
It seems this is a recent problem for many of us. I'm nowhere near an expect but I will continue looking for the solution (if possible, without whiping out the data or at least to be able to back-it up).
Will really appreciate if somebody posts if they find a solution.
Thanks!

The only solution is to wipe the phone. I got my lesson I will buy a samsung now

Hello all,
I got the V12.5.5.0 update to on my Redmi Note 10 5G (Global).
After I rebooted the system tapping the complete notification it is stuck on the MIUI Recovery 5.0 screen.
My device is not rooted. It just has received OTA updates.
I tried to reboot the system a few times, but it didn't work.
Also, I tried the safe mode, but it didn't work either.
After Reboot or safe mode, it returns to the MIUI Recovery screen.
I have tried the Wipe Data option and it worked and got me back to MIUI V12.5.4.0. But unfornnatly i lost all my files (about 90 Gb of data).
And this is the last i install any MIUI update until i see that a lot of user's have install it review it

My Poco M3 Pro 5G Global wasn't affected.
I manually download the OTA package and installed successfully.
This phone has a/b slot.
I'm wondering those facing this issue, have you tried switching from a to b slot or vice versa?
fastboot --set-active=a
fastboot --set-active=b

i think the ota released by xiaomi is bugged. you're operation is correct, but a correct ota might do this automatically. i have noticed that many users with unlocked bootloader, after the update have phone that dont boot. i think they cant enter on fastboot mode. the only solution is flash using mediatek SP FLASH TOOL. or MI FLASH PRO. or ALL IN ONE TOOL

Was someone able to access the "Connect with MIAssistant" part using pcsuite?
I couldn't, but I think it might be because the USB cable I'm using is not the original one from Xiaomi or one compatible.

work only if you have installed also pcsuite on your device. if u have a full stock loked device only solutions are Mediatek tool or miflash pro! or all in one tool. as i said a million time already

Question Redmi note 10 pro Update MIUI 14 bootloop problem

after updating from miui 13 to miui 14 via OTA was a disaster. My phone stuck into the bootloop. Can use it anymore. Is there any solution to get rid of it?

No way to know what parts are missing. You can reflash your current ROM or the original ROM via fastboot.

Can you enter fastboot mode?

If your bootloader was unlocked you can recover the device via fastboot.
If not you have the same situation as described here:
Redmi Note 10 pro stuck on Mi logo loop after update
I tried wiping my data, but no success. I tried mi flash tool but no scucces. My bootloader is lock. I can boot into fastboot and recovery mode only. Safe mode also loop into logo only. can anyone tell how i can flash stable rom.
forum.xda-developers.com
Interesting to see that several people are reporting bootloop after upgrading to MIUI 14.
My advice to anyone is to unlock the bootloader before upgrading to MIUI 14 to avoid having a brick, which you can't recover by your own by just flashing.

Thank you.
But could you please explain what you mean with "waiting"?
I assume that you mean the seven days until Xiaomi grants you the possibility to unlock the bootloader, right?

I agree with regards to this device.
But usually it is not a problem.
With regards to this device I see from two other people that they are facing a bootloop when updating to MIUI 14.
I also did the update and my device ended up in a bootloop.
But I had unlocked the bootloader in advance and could recover the device by flashing.

Hi
Greetings, I am facing the same problem, after upgrade to miui14 the phone is in bootloop,
Explanation
1) The phone starts and enters menu(reboot, wipe data, connect with MI assistant, safe mode)
2) If i click reboot, it will reboot and reach to welcome screen and then it will ask me to activate the phone
Thats it
Then it restarts automatically
This process repeats untill battery drain
The phone is not unlocked
Advice .........

That is actually very easy. There is a tool. Mi_Unlock-en-5.5.224.24. you will need to- (a) go into fastboot mode(Switch on by pressing power+volume down) (b) Connect phone via USB Cable. Have the proper drivers installed. (c) Launch Mi Unlock tool and login into Mi Account. (d) refresh to search phone, select and press unlock. Takes a couple of seconds to unlock the bootloader.
