Stock Recovery Image

Can anyone help me with the stock recovery image please?

Which rom are you using? Stock but version number?

You can get full factory images from Xiaomi website. For example, here is the link for Global EEA:
https://c.mi.com/thread-2459743-1-0.html
You will have 2 versions: the ".zip" and the ".tar.gz" (which is often bigger)
Take the ".tar.gz" version and uncompress it: you will find inside a "recovery.img" file which can be flashed by fastboot or TWRP.
However, like nakulp means, you should take care. In my case, I wanted to apply recent OTA update Global EEA 10.3.4 for 10.3.3. As I had TWRP recovery, I needed to replace it by original recovery and the image I got was from 10.3.1: it resulted in a black screen on recovery start. Only the "recovery.img" from 10.3.3 worked fine. This image seems to work fine also on 10.3.4.

Thanks man appreciate your help now i am on MiUi 11.0.2.0 stable based on android 10 which is really good and bloatware free
Its working smoothly

Download a fastboot ROM and extract the recovery.img file. There's lots of links to fastboot ROMs on these forums.

Yes thank you, but download are so slow, it's the reason i asked for a stock recovery directly. If I finish my download one day, I would post the stock image if I can, but not beforce tomorrow for sure...

I need this too, someone please upload

Download recovery/zip or fastboot/tgz firmware and extract recovery.img
tgz = tar, gzip hence must be un-gzipped and un-tarred.
7-zip on PC or MiXPlorer on the phone

Actually the size of fastboot rom is 3GB and i was looking for some data efficient way. I only need recovery.img so what's the point in downloading whole rom .

You can just update your custom recovery in that case and then flash MIUI 12.0.4.0

Pls instead of asking take your own time to browse, study and learn how to use their repository
- First you must know what is the version you are looking for, is it e.g. v12.0.4.0 QFKINXM or which one
- Use their Search box to find it
- Look for the type Recovery, not Fastboot (you were asking for recovery)
- Click to Download (what else), and on the new screen download either Full ROM (full OTA) or Incremental update (incremental OTA from the previous version) - again Recovery/zip file

OMG - please try things yourself or use your froend google to learn things
If not in recovery/zip firmware then download fastboot/tgz, extract (un-gzip, un-tar) to tind recovery.img there

I am using Redmi Note 10S and in my device's fastboot rom file, there is no any recovery.img file. I have done the extraction process of .tgz file lots of time, but after all I did not get any recovery.img file in fastboot rom file. So can anyone help me that how can I get my stock recovery image file?? My device is not rooted.

Question [Solved] Mobile won't boot anymore ! :/

Hi guys, i just flashed (with a light wipe) the last rom for my Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra (obtained on the update section of parameters) and i first lost all my config.
So, i decided to restore the backup i made just before flashing and here is the drama, it boot directly into TWRP and i can't seem to find my storage anymore (tried file manager)
TWRP also tells me that no OS is installed, please help, i'm desperate
I think the first step is to recover access to internal sdcard, and maybe then i can restore a backup
Thank you !

simply, Fastboot and install official rom using mi flash tool.
thats one of the penalties you'd pay of installing eu rom.

Thank you very much, sir !
Will try this and post the result, maybe with a little tuto if it's not already everywhere ^^

So, tried 5 times and not once a good result, the better i can obtain is 12.5.7.0 global working, flashed with xiaomitool. TWRP ok, and i will try Magisk next.
Every other tries solded by an sdcard/os/data loss T_T
That's a mystery. I ran on 12.5.17.0 all fine before this incident and i cannot get it work anymore :/
I obtained rom from https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=321331
TWRP from https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=14943124697586336381
Also tried this method again (this was my first method and it worked like a charm till this 12.5.20.0... )

The problem with global is it seems to be greatly outdated (patch from 2021.09, that's a huge security risk to be months backward nowadays, let aside bug correction, new functionnality, etc)
I can't seem to find a more recent global version (updater within settings tells me there's no more up to date version).
Do someone have an idea, please ? :/
What i'm doing :
1. put device on fastboot mode
2. launch xiaomitool and flash 12.5.7.0 global rom
3. reboot into fastboot
4. launch xiaomi unlock and unlock device
5. boot TWRP with fastboot boot twrp.img in cmd (command returned all ok)
6. into "soft" TWRP, One Key Inject TWRP
7. into "hard" TWRP > install and give it the .zip rom file
8. after the rom installed, all broken again :/

Hi,
there is no TWRP-ROM available for the Ultra - it's still in fastboot-ROM phase.
Flash via fastboot. Unlocking is just needed once until relocking with orig. ROM.
(Optionally) Copy boot.img from ROM-folder to phone.
Use Magisk to patch boot.img
Flash patched boot.img to boot_a and boot_b via fastboot.
Wait until TWRP-compatible-zip's for the Ultra to begin to appear.

Thanks for that ! ^^
That sure seem a simple task
You're telling me that i can, from my 12.5.7.0 global, patch the boot.img (90mb) from the 12.5.20.0 eu with magisk, flash this with fastboot and that it will work ?
Seems too wonderfull to be true XD
EDIT:
My bad, you said "optionnally", not "alternatively"
So, i'm stuck here, i don't know and can't seem to find the fastboot cmd to install the xiaomi eu rom in .zip format
Do you know it please ?

In all the 11 Ultra A12 weekly EU ROMs, the format is fastboot only. Just extract the .zip file to a folder on your desktop, connect your phone in fastboot mode, power on and vol down and then click on the update bat file. If your coming from a different branch, click on the update and format bat file ( the bat files will be in the upper most extracted folder). It is a simple as that .

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.

Question Phone starts only in Fastboot

Hello dear forum
Just got a huge problem, after installing twrp, i wanted to update from Miui13 to Miui14.
it chopped everything up a bit. But then finally done with a message, see attachment.
Since then I can no longer do a normal restart, the phone just hangs in fastboot mode.
Tested a fastboot boot twrp.img, no success.
Does anyone have advice for me?

Which TWRP(full name)?

this one
twrp-3.7.0_11-0-star.img​

i test now a recovery flash with Mi Flash Pro, i thing is the one solution.

Are you sure of the version of your device, Star and not Venus?
Anyway you used a TWRP A11 while the system is A12.
try flashing the correct TWRP A12 again.

Installation:
Phone in fastboot mode
Cmd:
fastboot boot twrp.img
Power shell
./fastboot boot twrp.img
then in Twrp go to Advanced -> flash current TWRP
If the TWRP flash works:
TWRP/wipe format data type yes reboot TWRP.
Sideload or use OTG for flashing the rom.
If nothing works use Miflash.

Miflash does not require Xiaomi account only MiUnlock.

But it was like that, maybe the Pro version.
now currently I come to the Chinese Recovery 5.0
What is the best thing for me to do?

If that didn't work use Mi Flash (dont relock the bootloader).

Question Question about firmware and fastboot rom when downgrading

Hi, I am about to downgrade my sweet global from MIUI 14 to the latest version of MIUI 12 since I find it the most stable.
At the Xiaomi firmware updater site, I see firmware, vendor and rom.
I learnt that to downgrade, I need to use a fastboot rom. I donwloaded both the 12.5.9 fastboot rom and the corresponding 12.5.9 "firmware".
Do I need to flash firmware first before the fastboot rom? Or can I flash the fastboot rom directly?
And do I need to enable any extra options in the Mi Flash Tool before flashing?
Thank you for any information.
