Flash ROM - i'm going crazy here! - Xiaomi Mi Max Questions & Answers

Hi,
i have a Helium 128G and got some problems with the radio. Currently i was on 8.1.5 following the guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max/how-to/guide-install-global-miui8-root-t3435594
and i also officially unlocked the bootloader after this.
So i thought - to flash a new radio - it would be fine to just flash the 8.1.9 over the updater method. Unfortunately the phone rebooted in TWRP and flashed something. After this the reboot took >10 Minutes so i rebooted into TWRP and found the internal storage is encrypted now. So all data lost. Great!
Nevertheless i tried to flash 8.1.9 via Mi Flash. This worked and the phone booted but after i flashed TWRP it won't boot anymore. What is this? Is it even possible to run 8.1.9 rooted with twrp?
Thanks for your suggestions, i'm really pissed at the moment
EDIT: My TWRP Backup with 8.1.5 worked and now i have the radio from 8.1.9 and the rom 8.1.5. Nevertheless i would like to have 8.1.9 rooted with twrp

Hi! I've also experience your problem, did your phone entered recovery mode after flashing TWRP? if not try flashing the 8.1.2 ROM through EDL (power+vol up+vol down) then after letting the first boot finish flash TWRP. Hope this help

I'm not sure but at one point i saw the xiaomi recovery picture!? Now it works with my 8.1.5 backup again but is it really that heavy to just install a current version when on twrp and root!? i'm officially unlocked for that.

Stuck on HTC logo(help)

Hello guys,
Just got my m9 a few hours ago, decided to root,s-off etc
Anyway, I did something stupid and Im stuck on the android logo.
Here is what I did.
-I updated the device through the stock recovery, there was another update but I didnt install i.
- unlocked the bootloader, phone rebooted and was working fine
-installed costume recovery(TWRP), I didnt boot into it because there wasnt and option like in the m8 to boot in recovery from bootloader.
-I reset the device and installed the update(stupid move I knew the stock recovery is not there)
- I got into TWRP and the updated failed so I had the SUbinary.zip so I plashed it and decided to reboot
-Here I got a note that theres no OS installed so I installed android Revolution, I placed it in the sdcard prior
- after flashing it I pressed on reboot yet I get no OS installed and now im stuck on the HTC logo.
BTW I can boot into boot loader but it says sd card not mounted (64GB)
Edit:
I entered into recovery, flashed AR again,its installs everything normally but I realized on the installation log last line : set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
still I get no OS installed
I got it working now. Anyone whos having this problem just use the beta recovery because the official one is broken
here's a like https://basketbuild.com/devs/Captain_Throwback/One (M9)/Recovery
just flash it normally and install the rom again.
now i will have to go back to stock recovery and download the OTA the flash TWRP again -.-
will the OTA work on the ARHD and stock recovery or thats not possible?

I dont think the OTA will work.
either find the latest full RUU and flash it, or an older RUU, flash it, then do all the available OTAs.
Then redo TWRP and ARHD.

Thats good to hear, sometimes TWRP will say that there isn't any OS installed but actually there is just reboot the device.
After updating through the OTA I installed ARHD and I got the same error again with the latest recovery. I think its because when I did wipe the data there root directory is changing make the phone unable to boot or there is a problem with the rom although it flashed before the update.
Here is a fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...h-recovery-t3066720/post59934542#post59934542
If it didn't work try to format data in the recovery and reboot. Make sure you have a ROM or back up on an SD card.
Since your phone is running I would suggest you to S-off because from what I understand is RUU (for Europe) will only work with S-off

Unable to boot into recovery

Hello, I flashed CM14 Nougat 7.1.1 and everything worked fine until I tried to boot into recovery to get access to TWRP. If I try and boot into recovery I get the 1+ logo and then just a black screen and i have to hard reboot the phone to use it again. After the hard reboot it just goes back to nougat. I downloaded the TWRP APK to try and restore my previous save but it just does the same thing.
Can anyone help?
Thank you.
I get the same problem. This is WHY we should BACKUP it first. but I didd't, and so are you. I was having lots of works and did not check much news about CM for a long time. but yes, I get the rumors about CM getting shut down. and I check the news. Today I found out CM is shutting down, and my phone is not working.
But, hey, who am I. OnePlus 3 User with lots of experience.
So I tried CM recovery, the newest version works, but there is no backup option, I tried old CM13 recovery. it also black screen. This confirm my theory, this is due to Android 7.1 or CM14.1 upgrade
How to solve this problem?
I found this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/development/rom-hydrogenos-h2os-beta-edition-oct-t3482259
go to this thread, and download modified TWRP.
BACKUP.
Install your new ROM via any XDA rom. not the CM14.1 build on Dec 25.
Note: If you want Android 7.xx, you could flash the Official Beta ROM(above), or download modem from
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/radio-modem-collection-flashable-zips-t3468628
Happy New Year.

Can't upgrade TWRP from 2.8.7 to 3.0.2

Hi, I flashed the FOTA Kernel with TWRP 2.8.7 onto my phone and inside TWRP I flashed the recovery with the 3.0.2 TWRP image (telling me "Successfully flashed")
But after rebooting I still have TWRP 2.8.7
Using windows command line and "fastboot flash recovery "TWRP.....img" I get this "FAILED" message.
What am I doing wrong?
I even flashed the phone back to stock and then followed these instructions but same result.
Is my phone broken or sth?
Hi H4NNE5, the Xperia M does not have a recovery partition. The TWRP recovery is included in the boot partition when flashing the kernel. Try to upgrade with the TWRP-Manager if your phone is rooted.
Hi Lightningsfire, Thanks for you answer.
Ok, that's weird because I read a lot of threads but none said anything like that. I'm more confused right now.
Anyhow the LineageOS is not properly working on my phone anyhow so I set it back to Stock Rom and check back in a few months if it improved
One more question:
So if I flash the whole software package the boot partition is overwritten then, right? Because I noticed that the Recovery was a different one, after I flashed the system.

Normal boot always ends up in TWRP

Hello everyone,
I have a problem regarding the start-up of my phone. Yesterday I unlocked my bootloader and flashed TWRP (twrp-3.1.1-0-addison.img) with the help of the thread located here.
Everything worked fine, I could boot into TWRP afterwards. I continued by wiping the needed partitions and flashing the newest Lineage OS ZIP alongside with the GApps Nano ZIP.
The problem I face now is that when I reboot in TWRP by selecting the “System” option, I end up again in TWRP (same happens if I shut down the phone and make a normal boot).
However, if I boot to the bootloader and select there the normal “start” option, the phone boots up just fine using the installed ROM.
Any ideas what’s wrong here and how I cloud fix that?
This happens with me, i don't know If its gonna work with you but works for me, i just flash a older twrp image from the same thread you use, ( i install from bootloader, not flashing a img in twrp), then you boot on twrp, and then you install the latest recovery
Note: This works for me, i don't know if its work for you
{Sorry for my poor english, my native language is porruguese }

Aww ! It's just a simple thing. Use this simple command "fastboot oem fb_mode_clear" and it will boot to normal system.
I was also facing this in my previous htc device.
That was tha problem of tge twrp version that i was using.
Try using the different twrp.

[Help needed] Lost TWRP after flashing Xtended ROM.

I wiped the phone clean and tried to flash the new version of AEX But, it showed Error 7.
Tried looking for fix for Error 7 on internet, it didn't work for AEX5.6, 5.5, 5.4.
5.3 installs normally.
But felt like needed something new.
Went on the forums to find Xtended ROM. Flashed it.
After flashing it tried flashing Nano GAPPS.. Didn't work.
Tried to system reboot and thought I can later work it out.
ROM is all fine... But, later when I got to recovery mode.
(Problem begins)
I realised I lost TWRP.
And the recovery that's there wouldn't allow me to flash anything.
It looks more like CWM recovery but with less options.
It doesn't even have a advanced wipe!
Now I'm stuck with a non rooted phone, without Google bare minimum functionalities.
Am I alone? Help me out!

For aex issue did you flash factory2vendor zip before flashing rom?
You will have to install twrp image using PC. Like the first time you did when you were unlocking bootloader
Flash zui using qfil or miflash.
If bootloader is unlocked still. You can directly flash twrp.
If not first unlock your bootloader and then flash twrp.
For treble rom like aex5.5 you need to flash factory2vendor.zip and then flash twrp with treble support.
For info on flashing and link visit aex5.5 rom page.
