Hello!
Today I finally received permission to unlock my bootloader, after waiting a long 15 days (360 hours). After solving some MiFlash Unlock issues, I finally unlocked my phone. I flashed TWRP and Magisk, and then afterwards I flashed Xiaomi.eu's stable whyred ROM, which worked (including camera sensors), but was terribly slow and clearly very unoptimized. For this reason, I decided to flash the leaked official Global ROM, 9.5.6 from Xiaomi. All was well, and I was presented with the initial set-up screen. After selecting my language (English [United Kingdom]), I was forced to select China as my region on the next page. Seconds after selecting it, my phone reboot and opened the system again, only to reboot within seconds. This process would probably repeat endlessly if I didn't have it in fastboot mode. I can still access TWRP recovery, and my phone still shows that it's unlocked on the boot screen. I've tried doing another clean wipe, and then installation of the global ROM with no success (same error occurs, even when I tried English (United States)).
I've tried to use the MiFlash tool (2017.4.25) but my device isn't detected when I click Refresh, and the fastboot mode displays "press any key to shutdown...". I've tried many different drivers as I thought it was a driver issue, but now I'm not sure.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

I tried that, same issue. Also tried with the new 9.5.11 global rom update.
FIrst Flash MIUI Nougat Rom
http://bigota.d.miui.com/V9.2.7.0.NEIMIEK/miui_WHYREDGlobal_V9.2.7.0.NEIMIEK_b6ab1f7b5b_7.1.zip
after flashing this Rom and setup complete then flash the leaked official Global ROM, 9.5.6. Otherwise you won't be able to pass the setup screen in latest Oreo Rom.

This one? Fastboot ROM will probably fix that as the bootloop is caused by a conflict with the remaining partitions from the last rom.
Flashing with MIFLASH Tool and selecting CLEAN ALL will clear that issue. Check Troubleshooting at end of the tutorial, it's already answered there. My first tutorial was to downgrade to nougat but that is not needed anymore as the fastboot rom for 9.5.6 is already available.

Ah thank you, I was flashing through recovery. With that being said, MiFlash doesn't detect my phone in fastboot, even if I can normally flash to it through fastboot if I were to open a terminal. Clicking "Refresh" in MiFlash Tool just disables fastboot. I realize its unrelated to your own tutorial, as its probably some fault on my computer. Thanks for your replies!
when i try to install any rom on twrp its getting to me a error message like 1/2 than 2/2 .And when i restart phone its going twrp screen again.Also im try Miflash and its getting to me error message again.(object reference not set etc etc)Pc shows my phone but nothing works.I install miui rom before.but now i cannot install any rom i cannot understand.
But i found interesting solution when im try miui rom on this phone its works.cannot install syberia os or Pixelrom.
Hi guys,
i want to flash my MiPad 5 from chinese to global Rom.
I already installed the Bootloader Unlock Tool and waited one week.
Now the bootloader is unlocked and i downloaded "Xiaomi Pad 5 Global MIUI V12.5.4.0.RKXMIXM Update". There are two different Download Versions, one for Recovery and one for fastboot. Which one is correct and usable without root?
Now i'm Stuck in the Process of Downloading TWRP because I can't find a specific version for my MiPad 5. Is there anybody who can give me a step by step Guide what to do now?
Thank you

Don't have any experience with it personally, but worth a try
TWRP is not required to flash the global ROM.
Just specify the unzipped global ROM as the working directory of MiFlash.
try flashing fastboot rom using miflash tool
finally could flash the global rom.
i am pretty sure it was about the ryzen gaming pc i used. now it worked out with my intel laptop....
strange problem

Mi Pad 5 didn't have recovery partition, since it use A/B structure. You must execute fastboot boot recovery.img and after that install recovery to RAMdisk.

Whered you even get twrp? Had an error while flashing from cn to global as well about sparse super failed. Then tried reflashing but i got the same error as you had and all i did was reboot the tablet in fastboot while it was still in fastboot and after that it flashed successfully even though it threw out am error flash is not done but the tablet rebooted hy itself and then booted up after a minute or two. Almost gave me a heart attack while i was at it
Edit: seems you flashed it successfully already thats good. Fastboot can be clunky on ryzen sometimes, i remeber back on mi a2 had to use a hub instead of directly connecting my phone to my ryzen pc for fastboot to work properly and not get stuck while flashing. But now i can connect directly after switching to a b450motherboard, was using a b350 before
I am trying to use the Mi Flash tool and when I open it, it tells me to install Drivers, but the screen just hangs there when I press Continue.
I also get an error saying a specific log folder is not present.
I also am trying to install global rom on china model. Please help!

prob just driver problems, i use ryzen and it works fine.
Don't know if I need to create a new thread. After the unlocking, I tried to change the region from RU to CN and got the same problem after a "successful" update as chrwo with "Mismatching image and device" error and fastboot mode. Then I tried to flash global version and the device error is gone but I still have the fastboot mode. Recovery from MiToolv2 doesn't help either, after successful recovery tablet still goes only to fastboot.
Got it working after flashing with miflash on the intel PC. I used a USB port on the motherboard this time.
So maybe there is really a problem with Ryzen.

I meer the same errỏr when I use Intel PC.
So, I dont think this a problem of Ryzen
i also brick the device using mi-flash sucking program. i finally using fastboot command flashing which copying from the stock rom "flash_all.bat" file.
So we can't lock the bootloader after installing the global rom?
I was on 12.5.4 Global and wanted to switch to 12.5.6 EEA, and i've red here and there that was a "safe" operation. I've tried to unlock the bootloader and flash the rom, all the roms gave compatibility issues, so i flashed the 12.0.3 EEA, but it was stucked on the boot logo. I've read that boot into EDL mode and flash via MiFlash could resolve the thing.
I tried but MiFlash crashes everytime i try to flash a rom.
Could someone give an help?
UPDATE: Now is in fastboot, same problem with the stock roms.
Did you read any tutorial? For which reason you flash 12.0.3?
Looks like you triggered anti-rollback protection. Read here https://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-anti-rollback-protection-brick-phone/
You cannot install previous versions of miui.
If by some chance the phone still boots to fastboot mode, try to install the LATEST firmware for your phone via mi flash tool (make sure you check "clean all" option and NOT the "clean all and lock" which is default in the flash tool).
And no, you cannot use EDL with this phone. EDL is locked to regular users and can only be accessed by an authorized account.
If you ca access fastboot and the device is recognized by you computer in fastboot mode then you can flash Miui using MiFlash.EDL mode is when you dont have access to fastboot.
Read tutorials about flashing miui using miflash on youtube.

If u are in fastboot mode, install this : https://www.mediafire.com/file/lv98wac50a2dexz/MiFlash20210226.zip/file. extract and launch the exe, click on install. wait a pop-up in chinese and close all. Then re-try to re flash the EEA (in CLEAN ALL) with this mi flash. Tell me if all works

Or install via any mi flash lol.
It sounds like normal thing...
Cross flashing global/EEA tends to fail for whatever reason ( Super doesn't flash correctly ) and you get stuck bootlooping or straight towards fastboot depending on how far the super flashed...
Go back to global ROM and sit there. It should flash alright.
Idk why it does this ... Something is not alright with this phone
{Mod edit: Quoted post has been deleted}
Yes it's always 604 or 606 seconds for mi flash no matter how good your PC is either because I have a good one it should be like 2 minutes.
Wtf? What do you guys mean edl mode you don't boot into edl mode that requires you to take the back off and jump it with wires or something. You boot into fastboot mode like you did to unlock bootloader and flash with miflash and you don't go from 12.5.6 to 12.0.3 normally downgrading will brick your device. Where the f did you get all of this from. If you can boot back into fastboot mode volume down and power key until it boots into fastboot than reflash the last working firmware you had with miflash and look at the video. I don't understand what all the countries believe they can do with a phone edl mode is like OEM type fixes not some kid on Xda

You can always tell your on Xda when they offer help that is 1 link and try this is the only information they give. The reason you screwed up is because lazy people that don't leave full instructions. You never never never never need to worry about edl mode. Fast boot or bootloader mode as it's called is how you restore a soft bricked phone what did you do with edl mode I don't even understand what you tried to do.

You thought this is something you needed to do? Edl mode is nothing that a regular soft brick would require
Here's another one edl mode I can't understand why you or anyone else would think this is how we restore a soft bricked phone lol this would be crazy I would be done. Your not even close to the first person to say this. Same with battery backup that doesn't make sense it's not battery backup you don't backup your battery it's battery life
Hi all,
I hope someone will be able to guide me as how to recover from this.
So today I tried flashing my POCO F3 with MIUI 14 (xiaomi.eu_multi_HMK40_POCOF3_V14.0.4.0.TKHCNXM_v14-13) from the stock version MIUI 12.
I first successfuly unlocked the bootloader using MiUnlock. I then unlocked the developer options , usb unbugging etc. again on the fresh phone.
I also had USB / ADB and fastloader drivers installed.
I downloaded xiaomi.eu_multi_HMK40_POCOF3_V14.0.4.0.TKHCNXM_v14-13 , phone was already in fastboot and connected to the computer so run 'windows fastboot first install with data format' as an administrator which opened the cmd , after agreeing it started flashing the first few files successfully but when it gets to " Sending 'cmnlib64_ab' (504 KB) " the process just stopped there and it has been like this for around 30 mins - no error ...simply stuck on this step .....
I am not sure on what to do now to avoid bricking my phone, should I leave it connected ? Disconnect it and try flashing it again ? Download an older version of Xiaomi.Eu ROM (e.g MIUI 13 ) ?
Leave it connected for about 1 hour or so until you get success or error confirmation. If failed just reboot to system. If system failed to show up then go to fastboot again and install xiaomi.eu a12 version.
This is exactly why I hate fastboot method and always install rom from twrp
Flash 14.0.5 via orangefox recovery.
I left it overnight and nothing happened . I disconnected the phone and it rebooted ok. I am kind of worried about trying again. Is the twrp method safer ?
Just discovered that I stupidly set the "USB debugging (Security settings) on but I forgot to turn on "USB debugging" which is a few lines above in settings. Could that be what has stopped the process?
Phone should flash fine even if debugging is off. I would recommend you to make sure that the cable doesnt even move an inch during the whole flashing process as that sometimes interrupts it especially if you have a loose port.
I just switched the usb port from the back of the pc (which I think are USB 3.0) to the front panel of the PC (I suspect USB 2.0 ) and tried flashing the MIUI 14 from yesterday again - It worked !!!!

Hi...
Is it possible to flash a ROM that says "...V12.0.6....V12-10" for example, on a device that shipped with MIUI 11 Android 10, directly, without first updating the device to MIUI 12 normally?

you can do if you flash the fastboot version by mi flash tool, and your bootloader is unlocked.

Thanks... I really appreciate the early reply.
But can't I do this using the recovery method? And also must the android and miui versions of both the global stock rom and custom rom be the same?
Nevermind...thanks for your help
if you want to flash specific version of android, then you need unlocked bootloader and mi flash tool, otherwise make updater app do its job. and no need for the global stock rom and custom rom be the same. just put in your mind to backup your data .
