Hi Guys,
My Mi3 is bricked.I did a repartition some months back and I wanted to install MIUI 7.I used Miflash but it is showing size too large error while flashing.My recovery is replaced with stock recovery.I tried to use ADB to push the file,that is also not working as it is shoing device not found while I am in recovery.I installed Miphonemanager as well for that.But there is no luck.I am out of ideas.Can anyone please help me.
Can anyone let me know which driver I need to choose in driver manager for android in desktop? Currently I tried CMCC Composite ADB driver and Xiaomi Android Interface.
Flash latest TWRP first. What happened during repartition?
You can allways acces the eeprom writer through short circuiting the sim card, there are a lot of tutorials, the only way to brick this phone is breaking its hardware

Install custom recovery through fast boot mode... Then flash the repartition revert zip .. There is one revert zip in miui forum which ends like this "....EIPerroVerde". Only this revert zip works..Then use miflash .. It should work..

Hey Knight (didn't want to call you Dork :angel: )
I have a messed up phone,
2 questions here :
1- Would repartitioning reset ALL the partitions ?
2- When installing a ROM with fastboot, will ALL the partitions be filled with the necessary data ?
(I'm in doubt because of IMEI data)
Btw, can anyone point me to a link with WORKING fastboot ROM downloads ?

Repartitioning will wipe both your system partitions [EDIT: Seems I was wrong?]. If you want to use MIUI 7, you can use either extended partition, or stock partition using the zip from my link.
For fastboot I guess you'll need stock.
No, installing a MIUI fastboot ROM shouldn't touch your IMEI. But yeah everything else can be overwritten, depending on which bat file you use when flashing.
The process I'd recommend right now is to flash TWRP IMG using fastboot(use the 15-second ADB installer and look up a tutorial on how to flash an IMG. Basically just put the IMG into the adb/fastboot installation directory and then open a terminal window and then fastboot flash)
And as for MIUI fastboot ROM, you just gotta find the thread on MIUI forums. Google can help

Thanks ... but ....
I was under the impression that there were many more partitions (about 28).

Well there ARE a LOT of partitions on any device, but the important ones are system, boot, data, cache, modem etc.
That guide seems to manually mess with the partition table, so it gets down and dirty.
The easiest thing would be to do what I said, flash TWRP or CWM r7 by furniel and then the proper stock partition zip. Then use MiFlash or recovery to flash any ROM.
I think I'm back online

OK,
I followed your links and flashed :
First : Repartition to Stock Layout
Then : Repartition to 1.2GB Single System
Strange, after this, I did a normal reboot, it rebooted into my old ROM.
Shouldn't that have been erased after partitioning ?
Anyway,
Then I flashed ; update-XenonHD-08-08-15-signed-.zip
WAIT WAIT .....
as I'm typing, I'm flashing update-XenonHD-09-05-15-signed-cancro.zip,
first ROM in a few weeks that seems to be installing.
Let me check is it really installed .... YEP .... progress
Flashing : pa_gapps-modular-pico-5.1-20150418-signed
Everything seems to be going smooth
OK, for the time being .... all good.
Thanks a lot :good:
If your device cannot boot, flash it thru fastboot mode. See the full detailed tutorial on en.miui.com
Well you can directly flash with miflash even with the extended partition. Just edit the fastboot script (.bat extension with windows) and search for line
fastboot flash system+system1
And then delete system1
Fastboot flash system
And use those script for flashing via miflash

Hi,
I will assume you have downloaded the Nandroid Backup file which needs be extracted, please try and re-download the file as its not corrupted, I have downloaded it myself.
Please provide more details.
Nandroid
I've installed the Nandroid, but how do I flash the phone? Mine I downloaded software file is corrupted 2.18.401.3
The software was completely deleted. When I open the phone, it stays on the HTC logo. The Stock ROM is corrupted on the internet.
I would appreciate if you can help.

Hi,
Can you please enter boot loader and provide the OS version, the file is not corrupted, if you have S-On you will not be able to downgrade, it will fail.
Thru TWRP You need to delete Cache, Data, System, Internal Storage and you have to restore the Nandroid backup thru TWRP...

Hi,
Yes as expected, you will not be able to flash the stock RUU as you already have the latest version, you will have to use the Nandroid Backup to restore to stock.
So download the Nandroid Backup, restore it thru TWRP and this will work as explained earlier.

Hi,
Before you do this, make sure to go into TWRP and Delete Dalvik Cache, Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage (DO NOT do this one if you intend to keep data in your storage), attached image.
Then, extract the downloaded Backup file with WinRAR in PC, copy the extracted files folder into the TWRP>Backups>(Folder named as your device Serial Number, enter this folder and place your extracted files in here) folder in your SD Card. Then Restart the device into TWRP Recovery, choose Restore, locate the Nandroid Backup folder and press Restore. Its advisable to select Boot if you have boot failure and not if you don't, attached image.
Its takes about 2 minutes and that's about it.
Please
Thank You

I had restored stock system.img, boot.img and recovery.img after wiping the phone with TWRP recovery. But still my phone is not working properly and some traces are still left in my phone. What things do it don't wipes please tell me and share stock version of those things.
I used advanced wipe and selected all options in TWRP.
Also pls tell me how to flash, if it can't be flashed with flash tool.
For information, I didn't made any changes to kernal, so it doesn't need to be restored.

Try doing format and download instead of download only ... maybe this will work ...
Else your process is all right ...

Flash a fastboot ROM from here.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k2...irmware-10-3-8-0-9-6-13-t3939647/post79726515
Follow this guide here to flash it.
http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
VERY IMPORTANT.
In step 5 of the guide, before clicking install, you need to change flash option at the bottom of the Flash Tool. It's default is 'Clean all and lock'. Make sure you change this and select 'Clean all'.
The default option locks the bootloader after flashing, so make sure to change it.

That's good. I'll be honest now and admit that restoring the phone was probably not necessary. However, you sounded like you were a little unsure of things, so thought it might be useful for you to know how to restore the phone when things go really wrong. When all you can do is boot into fastboot, you now know how to recover the phone, as long as the bootloader is unlocked.
Because you were still able to boot into TWRP, you could have just gone in to Wipe, then Advanced Wipe, selected Dalvik cache, Cache, Data and System and wiped them all, then gone back to the main TWRP screen and installed an eu ROM again. That probably would have worked fine.

Hi Robbo,
I had the exact same problem as Bagus.
I downloaded the MiFlash tool, and the stable global fastboot ROM from the link you provided. Phone is in fastboot and can be detected by the flash tool. When I select the folder for the extracted ROM files and then click "Flash" (as in step 5 of the Xiaomi Guide) is says it can't find the flash_all.bat? How can I fix this pls! Or am I using a the wrong ROM from that list on XDA forum?

You need to fully extract the ROM. Depending on the zip software you will need to extract twice. Open the tgz file and extract the contents. If you only get a single file you need to open this file in your zip software and extract it again. If the file doesn't have a file extension, rename it and add .tar on the end.
You should end up with a folder, which has some .bat files and a second folder. Point the Mi Flash Tool to this extracted top level folder.

Use bat file present in extracted tgz rom instead of miflash. First install drivers
Remember one important thing among those TWRP in Mi9 : Never wipe system partition before rebooting your phone !! That means : You must flash ROM if you wipe system partition before rebooting your phone.
Before chosing rom in mi flash extract it on desktop then chose it in mi flash

After you've extracted the tgz file twice to reveal a folder that contains the images folder, put that main folder in root of C: drive on PC and point mi flash to it. Let us know how you get on...
