Are you on official EU MIUI or xiaomi.eu ROM?
What global vendor file are you trying to flash and how?
What version of TWRP are you using?

I found the Solutiuon, i just had to reinstall twrp and it worked again.
But i have another Question..
Hi, I had the German Mi 9t Pro variant and previously had the Miui Stock global. There I had installed a Google camera that uses the lens blur effect in the portrait option. Now I have flashed the Xiaomi.eu rom via twrp and then exactly the same Google camera. Unfortunately, it is completely different and can no longer make a lens blur effect in portrait mode. Is that perhaps due to the different vendors global and EU? What can I do to get the Google camera back in the same way as in the Global version?
If I install the Pixel rom with the global vendor, I also have the good Google camera.
i guess i bricked my handy ? It just boots into fastboot. twrp is installed but i cant get into it. I tried to flash global vendor over the xiaomi.eu rom
What can i do ?

Impossible to boot AOSP/Lineage ROMs on global

Hi,
I have the Mi 9T Pro global (not EU, China or India), and the only ROMs I have been able to boot are Xiaomi.eu. I've tried flashing HAVOC, Syberia Project, Evolution X and C-Droid following their instructions, the results are always the same: black screen, and TWRP becomes unaccessible, even if I try reflashing TWRP from Fastboot, it won't let me. Then I have to boot into Fastboot and flash stock ROM using Mi Flashing Tool, and flash TWRP from Fastboot again. What am I missing?

At the point where you normally wipe data, dalvik and cache, before installing the ROM, try formatting data instead and wipe the other 2.

I tried formatting data, as it is part of the instructions of one of the ROMs I tried to flash, no success.

What version of TWRP are you using? If you're using something different then try 3.3.1-15 from here. https://forum.xda-developers.com/k2...icial-twrp-xiaomi-redmi-t3944363/post79823568

Exactly the latest one from mauronofrio, no other, as I even tried flashing Orange Fox and it never got into it, forcing me to reflash stock again to flash mauronofrio's TWRP.
I followed instructions from the ROMs I tried, none of them seem to work.

you are the same with me..im on mi 9T pro running global 10.3.1.0 PFKMIXM..no luck flashing custom rom..now my 10.3.1.0 rooted + quax kernel..even cant flash quax custom kernel on 10.3.2.0..always goes to fastboot mode after done flashing and click reboot into system via twrp..now im stuck on 10.3.1.0...also im using the latest twrp too..
Same here. I can install eu miui roms but cannot install any aosp based roms. Goes straight back to fast boot. Went back to using eu miui roms as of now.
Can anyone suggest what is going wrong. Seems like once you install an EU rom you cannot go back to any aosp roms.
I'm thinking about the vendor. I remember a post saying that our firmware or vendor are weird and try to revert to stock, and need to be patched. But I can't find that post anywhere. I've tried all suggestions: format /data, flashing Magisk, flash ROM and GAPPS and wait for boot to complete to flash Magisk (never got that far).

Solved. The issue is with the vendor files. I've flashed fastboot chinese rom and then installed aosp rom and it worked.

Also, is there any risk to brick or lose bands if flashing a Chinese vendor on a global phone? I don't want to lose the only LTE band in my country (700 b28)

No you won't lose any bands. Same as you don't gain bands when flashing a global ROM on a Chinese/Indian phone

I've been using mauronofrio's TWRP on this phone for over a year and never had any problems with it when flashing ROMs. I've recently updated TWRP to the latest 3.4.0-0 and had no problems flashing LOS.
There is one bug that has never been fixed. Sometimes when you boot into TWRP it does not recognise any touch on the screen. Just turn the display off and on again with the power button and it works fine after that.

The TWRP I've pointed you to is the better option. Orange Fox is only good for installing if you plan to stick with MIUI.
There is absolutely no need to flash DM Verify, or a DFE script.
You will not need to flash firmware and vendor files if coming from the latest MIUI 12.

miflash success very fast but doesn't actually flash

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.

Need some tips regarding flashing a Mi 8 SE

Hi.
It's been a while since I flashed some ROM's so I am out of the loop a bit.
I just bought a Mi 8 SE off ebay. The ROM is the so called fake ROM MIUI GLOBAL 9.5.8.0 (Android 8.1). I intended to flash a new ROM and to my surprise it already contains a custom TWRP recovery. The TWRP is version 3.2.3 1102. Is this a really old one? Should I reflash the latest TWRP from TWRP.me or can I use this old TWRP to flash?
What I want to do is flash Xiaomi.eu MIUI 11 20.3.26 (Android 10). Do I need to format DATA in TWRP and then transfer the Xiaomi.eu ROM to the phone when I try and flash? Do I need any GAPPS when I flash Xiaomi.eu ROMs?
One more thing. Out of interest how would I go about flashing the last stock Chinese ROM for the MI 8 SE? Would I use MiFlash tool?
Any tips would be gratefully received.
