Question How to connect the Mi 11 via USB to Windows

Hi, today the Mi 11 arrived from China here in Germany. I am heaviliy disappointed as I didn't manage to connect the phone via USB to the PC. I tried to install many different drivers but Windows 10 always tells the same, that it can't recognize the device.
The Xiaomi Webpage is so bad. Many Links to drivers are dead. I only want to connect my new phone in fastboot - mode to the PC to install the EU ROM.
I need your help , after so many tries I give up to get the phone connected. First of all: Do you have a link to usb driver, that worked for you?
I tried it on two different PCs... same result.
Thanks in advance.
Jens

I don't remember exactly what I did, but I remember it involved going to the device manager, finding the (not correctly recognized) Mi 11, and manually selecting a driver. Don't remember which driver I used or where I got it, but maybe that helps.

Question Mi 11 Pro

Hi guys,
Has anyone bought the mi 11 Pro yet and if they have what do they think of it? I know it's China only but I'm interested in it compared to the Ultra which seems just too much (as a phone) and I ask here because the Pro and Ultra are very similar devices after seeing a tear down, only major difference are the camera modules except the main one.

I'm curious about the flashing side but I'm a bit of a novice and may stick with the China Rom and adapt to it and follow the guides in this forum.

I have a cn/mi 11 pro as well and would like to know if you just followed the instructions on the 1st page for the mi11pro/ultra thread to flash stanble 12.5 eu, my current firmware is china/cn 12.0.13 latest ota update I can get...been reading there that bootloop on fastboot is rampant and you need EDL to flash the original/global rom, scared to throw $30 for that
@Kaleidoscope1337

So i was also very nervous but i thought If i get into bootloop then i can call edl for unbricking my device. So IT would only cost me 30 Dollar and i also would be on global. EU Rom is better but edl cant flash EU

(CTTO, steps from xiaomi.eu)
Succeed to flash mi11PRO from 12.0.13CN to 12.5.3 .EU and my step as below...
1. Login Miflash tool
2. Setting phone to Fastboot mode
3. Unlocked phone and reboot
4. Quick setting and make sure can login to phone
5. Setting phone to Fastboot mode again
6. Open CMD as administrator
7. Go to folder platform-tools-windows as keying command
fastboot devices > check phone already link with PC
fastboot getvar current-slot > check slot is a or b, and my device show the slot on b
fastboot set_active a > change the slot from b to a
8. Back to extract file folder and keying command
windows_fastboot_first_install_with_data_format.bat OR
./windows_fastboot_first_install_with_data_format.bat
9. Phone will auto reboot when finished (takes about 15mins to boot).

How does the EU rom compare to Chinese rom?

.eu rom is base on the chinese rom with tweak, for me its the smoothness, no bloatware and the battery, on cn rom im getting around 5-6hr sot only upon flashing .eu rom im hovering around 7-8hr sot easily, also i noticed on initial boot, ram was only around 4gb on .eu vs cn rom where it will eat around 5gb on boot

Go for the Mi 11 Pro if you don't need the zoom and just dislike the large camera bump because you're not missing out that much. They both share the same GN2 main sensor fortunately so most camera improvements usually affect the Pro too.

Which version do you have installed?? The stable or weekly??
I'm getting 4.5 SOT at best, also the phone overheats very easily.. do you have these issues??

I'm having connection issues with the following apps
Android Auto: Drops out after a couple of minutes, goes back to home screen
Dialler: Cannot have a phone conversation longer than 7-8 mins before disconnect
Messaging: Is constantly dropping out and reconnecting to my laptop
Zepp: Keeps giving connection message errors on phone and watch
I guess it's some setting but other than turn off any battery saving I'm buggered if I can find a solution.
I'm running eu rom 12.5.10

I have Mi 11 Pro and I'm very happy with it. I didn't want the ultra as the second screen by the camera is unnecessary for me and was more expensive. The battery is good, bigger than mi 11 and screen is excellent but I prefer the aspect ratio of my old Mi Max 3

Sounds more like that you need an EDL flash f you are stuck in a fastboot loop and really can't do anything more.

Do you see? Your post lacks of better description, as can solve the issue, probably you need to flash again the ROM using Mi Flash tool (if allowed) or SPFT.

I had exactly the same problem years ago with my old phone. It's called hard brick. I had to take the phone apart, then connect 2 contacts on the motherboard with a copper cable. While holding it in place I connected the micro usb/usb cable to the computer and it appeared in special repair mode. I then loaded proper files via special repair software. And it worked.
The point is you have to reflash the fastboot, which is little more challenging. I suppose you can look up guides for other xiaomi phones, just make sure they use similar chipset. Also you'd need special Mediatek drivers.
You then have to enter this supposed repair mode in which you can overwrite the fastboot.

First you should be sure about your chipset (should be Mediatek Helio G88):
Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 4G - Full phone specifications
www.gsmarena.com
Then you should download the stock ROM for your smartphone.
Finally, there is a How-To Unbrick video for Redmi 10 selene (almost same specs: https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_redmi_10-11060.php) here:
Hope this helps...

Please help with recovering data from soft bricked Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Merlin

Hi. On the start i want to apologize for any chaotic description i may give, or mistakes/unclear explanation since for first - english is not my native language and for second i'm terribly tired and depressed as a result of 2 days searching for informations how to solve my problem. Lets get to case.
Patient:
Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 (merlin), complete model "M2003J15SG", it have unlocked bootloader, no root, no custom recovery, probably no granted permisions for adb.
I'm not sure which version of rom it have at the moment i remember only that it was global.
Case:
Few days ago Xiaomi displayed notification about possible upgrade to MIUI 13. That was not the first update that i installed directly just by accepting it, so i decided to give it a go.
After that, my phone went to infinite bootloop (there is a mi logo with "powered by android" that stays there for minute, and then it reboots and situation repeats itself).
Recovery is not working (or i do it wrong -> power+ vol up, maybe it's damaged after this update) i cant get into fastboot either (power + vol down).
However when i connect to pc and press power + vol down windows makes sound of pluging and unpluging device few times (probably its a mode that i can flash it with new rom with flash tool).
If i can (probably) flash whole ROM then what is a problem? :
Main problem is, that i have there very important data there, especially text messages and there is no way i want to lose it.
To give you small tip why it is so important to me i will explain it with a bit of offtopic:
Inside of sms google app i have messages that contains crucial informations, like my ex employer incriminating messages, codes that gain me acess to meds in pharmacy, adresses and so on - i just can't lose it because at the end i could have a pretty big trouble about it, including my ex employer tring to make me a scapegoat for his own decisions in front of a law. End of offtop.
Expectations:
I've so far read that if i will have custom recovery, i would be able to make a backup of data inside of Redmi.
Then i would try to flash entire ROM, but important is that i will have that data backed up.
Since i'm not a master class when it comes to adb, flashing, and so on - i would like to ask you for help.
I mean i know how to flash rom or, unlock bootloader, or root - but i lack knowledge about subjects that matters in this particullar situation,
especially i dont know can i flash only recovery with flash tools, and if so - will it erase internal data,
where to get already prepared scatter and recovery, how to do it - i need extremaly step by step help, so i could understand it and do it.
Is it possible to flash only custom recovery with flashtools without erasing data, and if so - how?
Is it possible to flash ROM without data being erased - if so, how?
Is there any tool i should look into, or maybe when it cames to switching to recovery/fastboot i'm doing something wrong?
Is there ANY and i mean ANY way to or fix bootloop, or at least get custom recovery without permanently losing important data?
Warning:
If you need any more informations - let me know and i will post it.
I've searched with google for 2 days right now and i have no straight answer for a questions.
If i posted question that already was asked - i apologize, truly i am not able to be on highest level of my perception and thats why i would like you to explain things to me like for a 8 years old.
I would appreciate any form of help with a subject. Thank you in advance for a time, knowledge and answers.

Edited - you are right, that's not "Pro", but merlin still. And for sure not indian.

I've updated to MIUI 13 too and I lost all my data too.
I've inspected the problem.
After upgrade to MIUI 13, it modifies the encryption keys for decrypting contents.
So, if you didn't backup these keys, there is no possibility for recovering.

I think that i should at least try to access data since i've seen a lot of weird stuff that shouldnt work in some way, but did.
Would you be kind enough to tell me - is there a way to flash TWRP with flash tool in download mode without touching data partitions?
And if it is, can you explain to me how to do it or give me some link particullary to files for my model (recovery and scatter)?
This MIUI 13 update really surprised me in a bad way, it's even worse to hear i'm not the only one with that problem

It depends what do you mean b 'root'
To install Magisk (root = superuser) and to be able to install Magisk modules or to flash custom ROMs
Anyway, you must start with the same - unlocking Bootloader.
For that and after for flashing, you will need Fastboot drivers installed to your PC
No need to ask about - google, look here at XDA for existing guides, questions and answers. There are tons of material about

By the way, you have completely missed the place - this is here forum for Mi 9, you are asking about Redmi 9at
Different name = different size, look, processor (even Qualcomm vs Mediately), battery, display, EVERYTHING DIFF
Do not even think to use (custom) ROMs from here (for Mi 9) on your Redmi 9 (at) - you will instantly brick your phone
Compare Xiaomi Mi 9 vs. Xiaomi Redmi 9AT - GSMArena.com
www.gsmarena.com
And be careful to avoid bricking your Xiaomi phones
Mi <number n> are never the same phone as Redmi <same number n>
Numbers to match might be completely different.
Eg, Mi 9T (Pro) = Redmi K20 (Pro) etc

But is the procedure to unlock the bootloader different on each smartphone? Is it difficult to unlock the bootloader on this smartphone?

Procedure to unlock Bootloader is the same for Xiaomi phones but totally different for Samsung, etc
Actually, there are also differences for Xiaomi between the Qualcomm and Mediatek chipsets, but I think that the main procedure for unlocking BL (register your Mi account at Xiaomi, use their Fastboot tool for unlocking, request and wait 168 hours =7 days) is the same.
I have two different Xiaomi phones (years 2019 and 2022), unlocking procedure was the same but both are Qualcomm
Maybe that tool for unlocking Mediatek is different - indeed, tools for flashing Mediatek are different. I don't know details (never had Xiaomi with Mediatek)
AFAIK, your Redmi 9at is Mediatek (Mi 9 family as here are Qualcomm), hence also pay attention to that when looking for guides and instructions

On Xiaomi it is possible to go back to stock and to relock Bootloader
But still, Xiaomi has a record on their servers that phone was unlocked - since you have to request from them, but it's for free (and I don't know but frankly didn't care how it may reflect to warranty)
On Samsung, they have one-time 'fuse' and even once BL is relocked, apps can still 'read' that BL had been unlocked in the past
Btw, I somewhere read that on (Xiaomi) Mediatek it might be possible to flash custom ROM and relock BL (without going back to stock).
Be aware that banking apps, some games, even loyalty apps (like for Ikea, McDonnalds) and so are 'hunting' to find that phone has been modified and don't run then (just crashing or saying that phone is not safe)
With Magisk, there are modules to hide that. Even some custom ROMs come with built-in spoofs
The worst case is when people unlock Bootloaders but stay on official ROM, being afraid to install custom ROM and/or Magisk (and don't want to relock BL either) and then cry why they cannot use banking apps anymore
Btw, be aware that for unlocking and relocking BL, your Data will be fully wiped (storage and Data partition - hence all user installed apps, docs, photos, settings, WiFi passwords, etc)

I need some more help:
- I would like to restore a backup from the old smartphone to the new one, but I should especially restore the settings data of certain apps (for example the settings of icsee, other camera apps and pages saved in Opera bookmarks) which are important for me.
Is it possible to reset app settings? Thanks again.
