Hey guys. i got my phone a week ago, was happily using it until i noticed the Vendor Rom 8.0.8.0 M0AHCNDI2 days ago. Decided to flash the Official Stable ROM with chinese MI PC Suite. Checked forums and finally after downloading the Official Stable Chinese ROM managed to flash my phone with it. Except for some problems i encountered while using Google apps it was running fine. After few hours i decided to try the Ofiicial Chinese Dev Rom aswell. But after flashing via Chinese MI PC Suite my phone got stuck on bootloop. Now i can't flash the stable rom back and my phone is stuck. Help Please, Thanks in advance

Instead of using PC Suite, boot your phone into fastboot mode and flash the ROM using MiFlash. Don't use Mi PC Suite. Follow instructions on one of the guides in the forum and you should be fine.

Chances are it's already unlocked, with vendor rom (let's hope so). Check through fastboot with command prompt
fastboot oem device-info
Don't use PC suite until they fix it's problems.

My phone doesn't even charge now and doesn't show the mi logo any longer. The only thing happens when i connect the charger is that the led blinks red continuously. Is it hardbricked? What can i do now? Sorry to trouble you
Edited. Now I get the mi logo back after an hour of changing.

As you're not sure whether your phone is charging, I would suggest keeping it connected to the charger for a few hours. This way, it may eventually get charged atleast to a safe level at some point.
After this, if you dont already have ADB and Fastboot installed, install it from the guide in the forums. Make sure to uninstall PC Suite first.
Once ADB is installed, open up the shell, boot device into fastboot mode and connect to PC. In the command shell,
Type fastboot oem device-info
It should show you the device bootloader lock status. Though most phones which come with Vendor ROMs have unlocked bootloaders, this is not always the case as my phone came with a vendor ROM while bootloader was locked. I suspect this is because vendors may have a signed Custom ROM file which can be flashed using the stock recovery, meaning bootloader unlocking is not a necessity for them to load the custom firmware.
Once you check whether bootloader is unlocked, if it isnt, unlock the bootloader using the guide.
Then install MiFlash and flash the fastboot ROM
if it is locked (afaik, mi suite can lock bootloaders, but there is no compatible mi pc suite for the mix available, so it shouldn't) then you need a deep flash cable to force flash anything in miflash tool. buy one for a few dollar on aliexpress.
xiaomi deep flash cable. with the button.
xiaomi deep flash cable. with button and usb-C adapter

I was wondering how the OP flashed using Mi PC Suite considering the Mix isnt supported. Maybe he is referring to Mi Flash as PC Suite.
If thats the case he may have messed something during the flashing process. Isn't there a way to enter EDL mode without the deep flash cable? I think it was done via a fastboot command.

First of all THANK YOU ALL for helping out. I just downloaded the Chinese MI Pc Suite. It said my phone has an update (it was in chinese so i had to look it up via google translate) then i clicked download and update. it downloaded the 8.0.12.0 Chinese Stable rom and flashed my phone with it. It was working fine but i tried to flash the Dev Rom the same way and it's stuck now. I didn't even know the Mi Flash tool until i opened this thread. Now i have the Mi Flash tool but my phone doesn't show up on it. I don't know how to use ADB and Fast Flash tools. Tried the forum but there are so many guides and i'm not sure which one would suit my problem. Now all i want is getting my phone working again and switching to EU ROM and not touching anything risky ever again.

You can follow this guide compiled by @underlines : Guide: (17-01-09) Flash Global/China ROM, Root, gapps, Xposed, TWRP
This guide has step by step instructions on how to install ADB and fastboot, unlock bootloader and Flash a ROM of your choice. Providing you follow the guide carefully, you wouldn't face any issues.
I have also posted a guide which is only intended to be an add-on to the guide posted by underlines. This means you should already have the recommended files downloaded and bootloader unlocked. using the guide above.
My guide uses a different version of MiFlash as certain Vendor ROMs are not compatible with the newer version. If you are unable to flash using the original guide above, you can also try following my guide. Guide to switch from Vendor ROM to EU ROM
But I would strongly recommend going through the guide posted by @underlines as you are new to flashing.

Yes! You wont have a problem unlocking bootloader. Boot the phone into fastboot mode and check unlock status first. Instructions are clearly given in the guides and everything should go well providing you carefully follow the guide.

You fixed it once then broke it again make sure its charged properly before your next F-up, like everyone keeps telling no use pc-suite, it's fixable and a free lesson on android mobile. How would you even attempt changing roms without mi-flash and adb. I'm betting its already unlocked did you check?

Finally got my unlock message and got my phone unlocked. thanks for all the help. But i'm a bit confused following the guide since i'm a noob and don't want to take risks again. First of all do i need to flash the Chinese ROM again before flashing EU rom? Secondly on step 4 of flalshing EU rom it says this:
"type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery C:\path\to\your\twrp-3.0.2-0-rc2-eu-lithium.img
change the colored path to the correct path to your twrp file (not the EU one) and press enter"
what does "(not the EU one)" means?

You can use the TWRP RC2. This version has been confirmed by many to work with both the Official stable and dev ROMS.
Some have experienced issues with touch functionality within TWRP using RC1.
RC2 is the way to go. If you have already flashed one of the official roms, if you'd like to flash the EU ROM, you can follow my guide. Providing you follow all steps correctly, you should be on EU ROM.
Cheers!

Flashing official ROM is not necessary if TWRP is working fine. Flash TWRP RC2 using fastboot, if touch is working for you, you can proceed copying the required files.
Follow my guide on this link.
If TWRP is working fine for you, you can follow from Step 6. If touch is frozen in TWRP, follow my guide from Step 1.
If TWRP works for you, when it prompts you to swipe right, make sure you flash the dm-verity and forced encryption disabler from the link I have provided, soon after you have swiped right to allow system modifications. If not you may face a bootloop.
Keep the guide open and follow the steps.

Hey guys
I've been playing around with my K20 Pro, but I just came across a problem. This is what happened:
- I flashed Havoc 2.8 as my first ROM, all went pretty swell.
- After having problems with the camera app and FP unlock, I decided to flash LineageOS 17, which required me to install a different firmware, and so I did, all went smoothly again
- LOS 17 is still a bit premature for my taste, so I decided to try going back to stock. I downloaded the stock firmware for Android 9.0 and the stock MIUI 10 ROM for the K20 Pro Global which is the one I have, not a Mi 9T Pro
- I flashed both things, phone now keeps booting into recovery, no matter how many times I flashed the stock fw and ROM and wiped the phone
So now, what do I do? Did I mess up somewhere? If so, enlighten me so I can learn.
Is this solvable? I don't want to have a bricked phone like this after 1 month of use xD
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: This has already been solved ^^
The issue is you want to rollback from Android 10 -> 9.
I'm also having this issue.

Have you tried to flash .tgz stock image though miflash tool?
I had something similar yesterday, I'm assuming you can still get into fastboot, so you need to use MiFlash to flash MiUi, be careful not to select 'clean and lock' as this will lock your bootloader and probably brick the device if it's going to a different ROM from stock.
You need to get MiUi in a tar format and flash that in MiFlash.

Exactly what @monstermuffin20 said.
Download fastboot rom (.tgz file), could be global rom, extract it to a folder. Open miflash tool, locate path. Select "clean all" on bottom and right side options. DO NOT SELECT "clean all and lock" as it will brick your device.

I'm sure flashing the full ROM is enough, just make sure you UNCHECK the CLEAN ALL AND LOCK option. So go into fastboot mode and extract the tgz file, you may have to extract twice.

30 mins is actually a lot and I don't think that's normal, my flashing was going to 700secs max which is 12 mins max. Check if your phone still reads UNLOCKED

I just went to recovery and flashed the 10.0 firmware and the LOS 17 and it booted. So I guess it's not bricked :angel:

Try it again with Miflash tool, make sure you select CLEAN ALL. I flashed almost 10 times last Sunday and all the times 700 seconds is enough.

As long as it shows: "unlocked" when you turn it on, it definitely not bricked.
1) Download this rom: http://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.3.3.0....FKINXM_20190711.0000.00_9.0_in_a1c0a15dec.tgz
2) Extrat, select path on miflash tool
3) Put your device in fastboot mode
3) MAKE SURE YOU SELECTED "CLEAN ALL" ONLY
4) MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE that "CLEAN ALL" is marked
5) Click "FLASH"
6) It will end in around 600 seconds, with an error (checkpoint error), don't worry, it's normal...
As I see you have chinese k20 pro and don't really want to use miui (as you've been flashing aosp roms), but start to realise that you will have to deal with it for a while, i would recomend to flash chinese rom, just in case, and then xiaomi.eu rom... it's the better way to live with miui.

Those are both correct.
However, I've managed to flash OrangeFox recovery and install a MIUI ROM (miui_RAPHAELGlobal_V10.3.2.0.PFKMIXM_55396ac730_9.0), but on the setup Find Device keeps crashing and the screen keeps turning on and off. I'm going to try to flash a different one, idk.
Guys I need help!
I installed Raphael firmware and my device is stuck in fastboot. Please help. The device doesn't turn off and even boot into recovery. I was on orange recovery
Give more information on what you did.
If you have a pc try installing TWRP back up and flash another rom , if that doesn't help try a fastboot rom for your region just don't click lock on bootloader

i tried to flash lineageOS and messed up my phone again, i don't know what i did wrong, now i have to flash the stock rom and wait for another 7 days for the bootloader to unlock. Then i paniked when i saw my folders had weird names (it was ecrypted) and my dumb ass formated the data on my phone and my phone is literally empty. I cant restore the previous version because i cant transfer the backup from my pc to my phone.
Is it possible to flash custom rom in the condition my phone is right now? or at least flash the stock rom and bypassing the 7 days lock?

To flash to custom rom the bootloader must be unlocked.
If you have unlocked the bootloader and you re-lock it with MIflash, no wait after to unlock it.
You can flash a stock rom with a locked phone with MiPc suite or this method.

I've tried to flash android 12 beta and accidentally locked my device,
now my device is locked and there is no rom or recovery, I can only access fastboot.
When I try to unlock it, says "please add your account in miui settings" but I can't do that because I have no rom.
what can I do?
If you have access to fastboot you will have to flash stock miui Rom throu mi flash. After that unlock your bootloader again

Download the latest official miui ROM, then flash

You need some one who has authorized account. It has to be done by EDL mode.

If you're able to flash the stock rom that came with the phone using mi flash, you're fine. If not, like Zoltan78 said, EDL mode 100%. I had the same issue with a Redmi K20 Pro (china) after flashing global rom and I accidentally left "flash and lock" enabled. I'm in Romania...at 4:00 AM I was on teamviewer with some Xiaomi Dev from Thailand and he had a Dev account to flash it via EDL mode, but I had to remove the back of the phone and hold a screwdriver on 2 pins while booting up the phone.
Okay if flashtool doesnt want may try
- indunesia
- global (5,4GB)
download type must be fastboot its a bit down/lower had to scroll!
dont know which you prefer/what you had
if non of that watch for type fastboot HERE
the tgz can extracted with 7zip
after that there is a tar, that can also be extracted by 7zip
if you not already have it install the latest fastboot or put the fastboot files from miui into that folder
use the flash_all.bat
Happened to me, too. I simply had to unlock the mi 11 again and Android 12 booted. Maybe I have been lucky but it worked

If your mi 11 is bricked I highly recommend @miauthofficiall on telegram. They can unbrick any xiaomi device
