Restore My Mi9 from Custom Rom To Stock Rom - Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers

I have a mi9 that I bought from a friend it is currently running costum rom *Pixel experience). I need help to restore it to Miui12. Thanks for any help.

You need to download MiFlash https://www.xiaomiflash.com/
Then download the Fastboot firmware (.tgz) that you want (China, Global, EU or EEA) from https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/
Unzip the file so you see all files and folders.
Then run MiFlash and select the directory where you unzipped the files, click Refresh, select the rom and flash it.
If you get an error when refreshing the directory, you need to create a folder "log" inside the MiFlash directory. Then try again

Can' t Flash
Every time I try to flash the Optus AU reset onto my VODAPHONE AU M7, it either gets stuck at 10% if i do it with a full wipe, or 0% if I don't. Also, it never passes and MD5 verification, after multiple separate downloads.
Anyone know what to do?
Thanks.

If you want to use windows instead of linux, you can extract twrp backup using cygwin. All you need to do is to rename your backup files adding .tar extension then extract them using cygwin
Code:
tar -xvf your_file_name.ext4.win.tar
eg. If you want to extract system.ext4.win000, system.ext4.win001 and data.ext4.win, rename them system.ext4.win000.tar, system.ext4.win001.tar and data.ext4.win.tar. Move the system backup files to C:\Cygwin\Home\UserName\backup\System and data backup to C:\Cygwin\Home\UserName\backup\Data
open a cygwin command prompt and change directory to the correct location:
Code:
cd C:\Cygwin\Home\UserName\backup\System
then in cygwin command prompt:
Code:
tar -xvf system.ext4.win000.tar
tar -xvf system.ext4.win001.tar
Code:
cd C:\Cygwin\Home\UserName\backup\Data
tar -xvf data.ext4.win.tar
Then you have 2 folders, One System folder and one Data folder you can use to make you reset rom.

Thanks Mate.
I will try on Ubuntu first as I use that about 90%of the time. I'll reply with results hopefully tomorrow! Excited to make my own easy reset with aroma.
Had to unlock bootloader via HTC token when my phone is S-Off...
My HTC M7 UL (PID)PNO7400, was rooted and later S-Off with fire water.
I had custom rom and recovery ect. After 6 months of this I wanted to update my firmware but for various reasons didn't want to do it via RUU so I found and used crushalots Easy Recovery Reset Tool.
This worked perfectly.
During the aroma install I chose NOT to install any firmware, just stock recovery and rom.
I also chose not to keep root as I believed that I may not be able to install OTA updates with rooted stock. (right or wrong?)
Immediately after everything was installed I was running stock 2.24.980.2 rom and recovery on 4.20.980.x firmware.
After relocking my bootloader via fastboot, there was no issues, my phone just downloaded several OTA in a row, installed each without a hitch, and about an hour and a half later I had a stock phone with the latest 6.11.980.12 firmware and software, with S-Off.
(BTW re locking the bootloader did not delete any of my data.)
As soon as this was finished I wanted to re install my beloved eragon rom, re gain root, and get my phone back the way it was pre the firmware update.
Having S-Off I thought this would be easy (fastboot flash recovery path/to/custom/recovery.img)
Didn't work.
Unfortunately I didn't keep a copy of the error message I got in terminal, however, I didnt have write permissions on that particular partition. (apologies to anyone trying to help as I know details are important here)
This stumped me, as I have rooted 3 other (older) HTC desire by getting S-Off then flashing custom recovery.img, (These phones were running 1.44 version of fastboot as opposed to my M7s 1.57) I tried to un lock the bootloader via fastboot commands just in case that worked post S-Off ie (fastboot oem unlock) but that didn't work. Firewater doesn't install its own bootloader so locking and unlocking via the s-off tool were not an option either.
I had to re apply to HTC for an unlock token and flash that before I could flash a custom recovery. I plan go back to stock again for the purposes of taking carrier OTA when my carrier starts updating with Android L, so would like to know if this is normal, if not how I possibly stuffed up.
Can any one explain why I had to unlock bootloader via HTC site when my phone is S-Off?
I'm interested in peoples thoughts/knowledge
Many thanks

Hi Mate.
Thanks again. A little help needed.
When extracting the .rar from the TWRP recovery I made, using terminal command line [7z x /path/to/some.rar] in ubuntu i get 4300 of this type of error
can not open output file system/bin/mkswap
can not open output file system/bin/mkswap
can not open output file system/bin/readlink...ect
Basically at the end I get a system folder with about 3 items in it, as 7zip .rar tool cant decompress most of the files from the .rar
Right clicking on system.ext4.win.000 and system.ext4.win001 and selecting 'Extract files here' or 'open archive' results in error "could not open 'xx'. Archive type not supported."
Are you able to give me more detailed instructions on how to extract/unpack the system.ext4.win.000 and system.ext4.win001
Do I need to change the file name before extracting ?
Extracting the files from crushalots tool and extracting the files from the new TWRP then replacing relevant files and changing the manifest to reflect said change in Easy Recovery tool seems quite simple, however Im having trouble just extracting the files....
Im missing something obvious.
Thanks.

For anyone else following this thread atm I solved the problem by re naming the system file extension in TWRP recovery from . win to . tar. In some TWRP back ups there were 2 system folders. A system.4ext000.win and system. 4ext001.win I just merged them during the extraction process.
Also there was no Data/preloaded folder in crushalots reset tool or in any twrp backup I have made.
Haven't tested the modified reset tool yet but will let u all know if I did it correctly!

Exactly, there are 2 system archive because of the file size restriction. Merging them after extracting the files is correct.

Without /data/preload, your reset rom will not be ota update ready. You don't have /data/preload in your backup probably because you have unlocked the bootloader and did the nandroid backup after (unlocking bootloader erase /data/preload)

In Ubuntu install 7zip software
don't rename anything just open with archive manager
system.4ext000.win open this
crushalot tool not have data/preload because most of tool was 3.xx version sense 5.5 that time preload files included in system folder

I already have 7zip installed, However there is no option in archive manager to extract anything with it. After cd to file location I can view the . win file in terminal using [7z l file. win] but the [7z x file.win - d folder/i-want/extracted/to] command outputs the same error as stated in above post.
Q1) That aside the last step in this whole process is to zip it all up again as a . zip, so I'll be changing the file extension anyway, so does it matter if I change the file extension from . win to .tar for the purposes of extracting? If so ease explain why.
Q2) the ONLY place I have found a data/preload folder is inside a firmware .zip extracted from an OTA. It's definitely not in any TWRP back up. Did you leave that detail out of your initial instructions? Can you please tell me where to get the /preload folder from if not from the same OTA the recovery.img comes from.
Q3) do I put the data/preload folder inside the system folder of the reset tool or have it separate, along with radio.img, boot. img, recovery.img and aroma files ect.
Thanks for your time.

I replied to the other post before yours came up. Forgive me if I ask similar questions.
I'm assuming I just copy the /preload folder from the same OTA I get the radio and recovery. img from.
Do I put the /preload folder inside any other folder within reset tool for a 6.xx version or have it beside the system folder and .img files.
Regards and Thanks.

It should work. The data/preload folder from an ota zip usually (afaik this is true for the dev edition version) include all /data/preload files. If its the same thing for your version then you should be fine. In /data/preload you should have these files:
YOUR_CID.XML
All the weather animations (mp4 files)
some .png files for photo editing
htc preloaded app like flashlight.apk and calculator.apk. You might have more app depending your version.

More Qs.
I now have all folders as per your above post. I have taken data/preload, boot.img radio.img and recovery.img straight from OTA. 6.11.980.10
However my stock nand was of 6.11.980.12.
Q1) So do you know if having a system folder derived from a slightly newer version work? As far as I know the .12 OTA was a patch for the 'no voice during call' bug. OTA. 6.11.xxx. 12 did not contain a radio.img AND I can't get a data/preload folder for that ota as I can only find a 6.11.xxx.12 firmware. Not the whole OTA, which is why I reverted to making a . 980.10 reset tool despite having a slightly newer NAND.
Q2) I have edited the updater script in META-INF to reflect new radio and Android version ect. Do I need to update the MANIFEST. MF?
Hope that was clear enough to understand.
A big THANKS for your Help and time!

Converting L09 to UL00

Hi,
I followed the instructions to convert L09 to Middle Eastern & North and South Africa version and it all worked well for me, but I'm wondering how do I convert to Chinese version? Can anyone help with some information?
Like do i just need to edit the build.prop and have the correct regions update.app file? or is something else necessary.
Thanks in advance
Gavin

So I managed to convert to Chinese version. This is how I did it.
While fresh in the memory, instructions on how to change the region+ firmware to UL00
What do you need (links in 004's original post earlier in the thread or here:
1. Firmware UL00-C433B114 (Middle East, North and South Africa)
2. The oeminfo.img program to change the locale (45.69 KB) Anti-Virus may or complain, so disable it)
3. Mounted on the phone ES Explorer (Solid or Root Explorer will not work !!!)
4. You need a copy of your existing ROM versions recovery.img. You can get this using the Huawei ROM extractor tool.
What to do:
1. Flash TWRP Recovery through Fastboot (Bootloader must be unlocked)
2..Get Root (install SuperSU.zip through TWRP), reboot.
3. Install and enable root in settings of ES Explorer and go to the folder /dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/
4. Copy oeminfo file and transfer it to your computer
5. On your computer, unpack the oeminfo.exe program from the RAR. Put your oeminfo file in the same folder.
6. Rename oeminfo in oeminfo.img
7. Run oeminfo.img.exe and type hw / meafnaf replacing dualcu / cn - click apply
8. Rename oeminfo.img back to oeminfo and copy to your mobile phone
9. Replace the original file in the phone to change (overwrite)
10. Go to the phone / system / and open the file build.prop
11. Find the line ro.build.displey.id = change your version to "=" CRR-UL00C433B000 and save changes
EDIT ?: These steps (10/11) MUST be completed or it will not allow you to update later with new regions ROM
12. Extract the new ROM file on your computer with the firmware.
13. Copy dload folder with the Update.app file and copy it to the phone's internal memory or MicroSD card
14. Flash back stock recovery from your existing ROM (use the extractor tool if needed). You can do this now or at the end before flashing but you must remove TWRP and ROOT before attempting to flash new rom.
15. On the phone go Settings - Update.
16. Select Menu - Local update
I then ensured Google Play was installed.
After doing this, flashed TWRP again and Rooted the phone, I then edited the oeminfo file using the above method, changing the attribute back to "dualcu/cn". After this I edited the build.prop to using the above method but this time I changed "ro.build.display.id=CRR-UL00C00B131".
I then removed root and flashed the original Huawei recovery, and then rebooted and went to update settings. I searched for update and a new file was found however a modified system was detected so it offered to download a full version which was the B160 build. This downloaded and then updated and now I have CRR-UL00C00B160 version
Whats the advantage of this Version?
There are more updates to the Chinese version..they are on build B160 whereas UK still on build B144.
Some other features like dual SIM should work however I haven't tested this.
Other things like build in virus scanner, permissions manager and also the ability to set the date of your mobile data plan to help keep track of data usage and allowance.
Pressure sensitive screen is also featured although not yet used in any apps but maybe it will be enabled soon by Huawei

I searched for update and a new file was found however a modified system was detected so it offered to download a full version which was the B160 build. This downloaded and then updated and now I have CRR-UL00C00B160 version

Hello, could you please tell me why do you write (type) in step 11. CRR-UL00C433B000 instead of CRR-UL00C433B114? Thanks for your answer.

you need to set your build.id to B000 so you can update to B114 with an full update package in the EMUI Update app

Thanks for your soon answer. To say the truth, i have just completed the process. Unfortunately, i wrote (in my case) CRR-L09C432B114 instead of CRR-L09C432B000; my device ist just running with this B114 Rom. I was running the B119 Rom before, what should i do now in order to receive the updates?

if you have changed your localization ( the "Cxxx" part) then you won´t receive any updates. You have to manualy update via Update.APP files.
Your IMEI is linked to you Build/Localization. This way, Huawei makes sure that every phone receives the right update file. If you change one of both, you won´t receive OTA updates anymore, since the update system can´t assign the "right" update file.

How to flash stock rom

Hey guys im new on the huawei procedures to flash and i need some help here, the thing is that ive changed the cust to c432 and then i've flashed android 7 via dload method (placing the folder on the sdcard and leting the device flash normally).
My problem is that i just downloaded this rom EVA-L19C432B378 FullOTA-MF-PV.zip and when i decompress the zip file i've got The update app file (wich is used to flash the rom placing that file into the dload folder) and also meta inf folder and version among other files.
My question is: how to flash the rom?, should i put the update app into the dload folder on the sdcard and flash normally (ignoring the other files in the zip? or in this case with this rom file theres a different flashing process caused by the other files included in the zip file.
Thanks by advance, I know that i should try by myself ( with error and essay) but currently i dont have enough time to mess up with my phone and I rather ask someones that already knows this.

What error are you getting, maybe you need to download the ROM again as it's become corrupted when you downloaded it the first time.
If using 7zip you'll need to extract it twice. The first time uncompresses the file, after which you should have a single file. Sometimes this file won't have a file extension, so in this case rename it and add .tar on to the end. This is now an uncompressed archive file, so open it up in 7zip and extract the contents. After this you should have a folder containing some .bat files and another folder which contains a lot of image files. It is this top level folder you need to select in the Mi Flash Tool.

Hi I tried to install a new Rom Ive had experience before in doing this so thought it would be like the countless other times ive done on Samsung.
Ive unlocked
Ive installed a recovery (did have TWRP but now using PitchBlack)
It says I dont have any download or storage in recovery
stuck in fastboot
When using MiFlash (which Ive no experience of)error message, see attached image.
Any help in next steps be much appreciated.
In the folder where rom is, create an empty folder and rename it to log.
Then try reflashing. It should work
Cheers

trying to install stock rom using miflash, it says cannot find file flash_all_lock.bat anyone help?
Hi, it happened yesterday, I did the following:
1- download my flash last
2-decompress my flash and create empty folder with the name of log inside what was decompressed
3-download compatible firmware in .tgz format not in .zip
4- unzip .tgz file on disk C, rename the folder to raphaeli (I don't know if necessary, I don't think so I did).
5- open miflash, install drivers.
6-find the raphaeli folder and click on refresh.
7- uncheck the box below where it says block if this is not the case.
I hope you understand me, sorry for the English use a translator

You don't unzip the .tgz file. You flash the .tgz file using MiFlash. Before you flash the file make sure the "clean all and lock" on the bottom right corner IS NOT SELECTED. If you flash it with it selected it will lock your bootloader and you will most likely brick your phone.
I just got the .tgz file but now getting this error, anyone able to help? please im begging at this stage!!!

EDITED.
My bad. Failed to notice you're not showing file extensions, so didn't realise the .bat files are actually there. Ignore original post.
After seeing the error have you tried booting into the phone?
Many times users say they get an error at the end of flashing with the Mi Flash Tool, but after, they can boot into MIUI and everything is fine. Not seen this error myself, so don't know if it's the same as your seeing.
