android partitions GONE need help!

Hi,
when i was trying to install a new ROM (CM13) to my phone (xiaomi mi3). when i connected it to the computer my computer said i need to format the disk before using. After i did so, when i sideloaded the ROM i told me i was missing partitions to flash this ROM. Does anyone know how to deal with this?
Thanks for any help

when do i need an unlocked bootloader & flashing methodes

[email protected]
i'm little bit confused about unlocking the bootloader on an mi5 device. I read somewhere that it's not needed if you use the updater app on the phone. i think this is only true for official rom's which came from en.miui.com it self?
can i use the updater app if i want to install the official en.miui.com 8 global rom without unlocking the bootloader?
if i want to install an xiaomi.eu rom, i will have to unlock the bootloader first?
does root on an official rom need an unlocked bootloader too?
there are more then one way to flash an rom on an mi5 device, updater app, fastboot and miflash tool, twrp(which is not preinstalled i mean?). but i read something about an edl mode, but cant find out what this does mean? is this maybe the fastboot and miflash tool mode?
many thanks!
best regards

Hello there,
what ROM are you running currently? Broadly speaking, you have 2 tools to change the ROM on Your device: the updater app and Fastboot (miflash uses fastboot too, and twrp requires fastboot to be installed). The updater app allows you only to upgrade your current ROM to the newest version. Fastboot (and the related tools) allow you to change ROM completely (e.g. switching from China Stable to China Dev or from China Stable to Global Stable or from China Stable to miui.eu Stable), and will also allow you to root your device through TWRP. To use fastboot, however, you will need to unlock Your bootloader.
Regarding EDL mode, it is the Miui stock recovery mode, which can be used together with the Xiaomi desktop application to flash new ROMs. It is not a widely used method, because the desktop app is quite buggy.
hello
many thanks for your replay.. i'm currently on miui 8, the global alpha version, so i already do an flash.. your answer is toop, again thanks for that!! but there are some new questions, edl is the miui stock recovery mode, does this mean the recovery as i know it already in a form from recovery.img? if i also want root i will have to flash twrp, this would then mean that the miui stock recovery (edl) wouldn't work anymore? so if i want to go back to an official global rom, do i need to flash the stock miui recovery first? the way to do that would be through fastboot? where can i get the stock miui recovery?
have an nice day!

how to flash to factory rom?

hello: this maybe a newbie question, but how do you flash back to the factory rom in case I bork the custom rom install? With factory recovery of course.
I imagine there must be an official way to flash back the rom, but I downloaded a PC suite tool from miui.com, and it wouldn't read my CC9 when connected. Weird.
I also found online that there's a chinese version and a global version of the CC9 official MIUI rom. What's the global version? Was it meant for Mi9 Lite?
Thanks for any input.
If you unlocked bootloader ,then you can flash old ROMs. Otherwise you can't.
I unlocked it. But i dont know what the official method/software is for flashing back to factory spec. I now have twrp and xiaomi.eu and just want to know how to get back to factory rom and recovery. Tks
Download mi flash tool or flash tool pro.
Now install them and driver also.
Download mi cc 9 latest fastoot rom
Unzipped the rom.
Now open mi flash tool and load the unzipped folder
Turn off your device and press power + volume down for bootloader.
Now connect via usb cable.
Click on flah botton and wait until 100% complete.
Your device will be on after successfully flashed

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.

Question mi 11 pro - from eu rom+twrp to chinese original stock rom with the fastboot loader

Hello friends ,
I need your help because I'm already lost , openning many threads , and I dont know what to do.
I have mi11 Pro with eu rom+ TWRP bootloader. the boot loader is unloacked.
I dont know what I did, but I played with the settings of the phone and the TWRP and currently the phone is running with the eu rom , but I can not install a new rom because the TWRP does not recognize the zip file of the rom .
i tried to fix the problem in the twrp , but failed .
All I want at the moment is to go back to the original Chinese stock rom of the device as on the day I took it out of the box along with the fastboot recovery, so that I ll be able later to install any rom .
Is this process possible without causing a brick to the device?
Is there a link to the original Chinese stock rom with its fastboot recovery and how to install it without using TWRP?
thnx a lot
Just download fastboot rom for Mi 11 pro (google it), and flash in fastboot mode using miflash
Nothing brick, u can relock bootloader if u want there
