How to completely get back to stock?

Hi,
i have a Mi Max 32GB and flashed TWRP without unlocking (with the method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max/how-to/guide-install-global-miui8-root-t3435594) and installed MIUI 8 rooted.
Now i have to send it back for repair and i want to get back to stock (at least miui 8 unrooted with original recovery).
Can you help me how to do it?
I would try to flash unrooted miui 8 and the stock recovery with Mi Beta Flasher after it but where can i get the stock recovery?
Thanks
Daniel

I think if you use MiFlash it will flash back everything including the stock recovery.

Will this work even if the phone is NOT unlocked? Where can i get the correct image? Which one do i need? And can i flash MIUI 7 too?

Yea... that was a great idea... i think it is bricked now
Started MiFlash Beta (which worked perfectly to install twrp a couple of weeks ago). Now i flashed the hydrogen_global_images_V8.0.2.0.MBCMIDG_20150805.0000.29_6.0._global_faa8bcca0e Fastboot ROM and after 94 seconds there was an error -translated - "For this command is not enough memory available.(0x800700008: Max buffer sector is 256)". After trying again i only get "critical error (0x8000ffff: Receiving hello packet). Also flashing twrp again does not work. When i turn on the phone i only see a symbol with a mi phone with a cable plugged in ...

If you see the Mi logo then you aren't bricked. Try flashing it again. If it doesn't work then try the Chinese version of the fastboot rom to get to stock then give the global rom a try again.

Just tried it and got exactly the same error
I could manage to reboot and go to miflashmode again and flash TWRP again. When i now install a MIUI 8 Global ROM it won't start but a MIUI 7 ROM booted. Unfortunately without any radio functions and with crashes. I think the radio partition is broken.

I can make you a flashable zip with the radios that you need that you can flash in TWRP. Try flashing the regular stock rom in TWRP.

This is all really crazy
After flashing a MIUI 8 Global ROM in TWRP the phone doesn't boot. After then installing an older MIUI 7 than before everything worked including radios. At the moment i'm trying to restore a MIUI 8 Backup which worked and delete data and cache to be kind of stock.
But nevertheless - how to flash stock recovery when i'm finished? I tried to flash via fastboot but this is not allowed due to the locked bootloader.
,

custom roms do not boot up

hi there,
i used crDroidAndroid-8.1-20180606-riva-v4.3 but there were color problems i didnt know 2 fix so i decided 2 flash a new rom resp. a newer version but no custom rom boots up.
when it tries 2 boot is freezes at the boot screen, then screen switches off and nothing happens. i can go 2 fastboot and recovery.
sometimes it boots up but after a few seconds it freezes 2.
i tried different roms and recoveries but nothing works.
i foolishly wiped internal storage once but then i flashed the stock rom again which boots up. then i unlocked the bootloader and flashed a custom recovery and a rom again but the same error is there (no booting up)
anyone got a solution for this problem? no unbricking suggestions plz
edit: im in the wrong thread i think. i wanted 2 post it in "Guides, News, & Discussion". cant delete it. sry for that

logs
so i managed 2 create logs while booting up.
1) https://pastebin.com/cgrX2DA1
2) https://pastebin.com/r7DmcN46
3) https://pastebin.com/0pwXyuys
4) https://pastebin.com/S41FG2SQ
1) is 1st part of the log while booting with no success to boot into the os.
2) is 2nd part of the log while booting with no success to boot into the os.
3) is 1st part of the log while booting with successful boot into the os.
4) is 2nd part of the log while booting with successful boot into the os.
i also tried 2 log "cat /proc/last_kmsg > /sdcard/last_kernel_message_log.txt"
and "dmesg > /sdcard/kernel_boot_log.txt" via terminal in linux but it only sais file or directory not found.
i hope sum1 can give me sum help now.

so i did this https://en.miui.com/thread-3921604-1-1.html but it doesnt help. as i expected.
any1? i can post more information if necessary. just say which and perhaps how ;D

cmon guys. i can impossibly b the only 1 who faces this problem.
i dont think its a hardware thing cause stock rom and android 7.1.2 (viper os) work. maybe a vendor problem? could flash another vendor img solve this problem? can sum1 send me his?
i got sum more logs after flashing rr 7.0:
logcat 1st part: https://pastebin.com/EBZAgbhF

Fastboot flash latest miui 10 stable using mi flash tool and use the rom after setting up. Then flash custom recovery and do a full wipe.
This works for most cases.

Well it worked for me.
Which custom rom you want to use?

well, it doesnt matter 2 me. the main thing is that it works =D rr, aex, crdroid..

Crdroid is my choice because aex and rr are very early builds. I like pixel experience but the devs not updating it so crdroid or havoc os.
Like i said use Xiaomi flash tool and flash miui 10 stable via fastboot method(there are 3 options in the bottom select flash all instead of flash and lock to avoid unlocking the bootloader again), don't flash anything else, setup and use the phone, flash recovery wipe all and format, install rom, don't flash gapps yet, boot into rom and see if its fixed.
Use vendor based recovery, if using batik recovery you have to flash batik recovery again after format.
This is my solution.

i did it several times before but 2 b safe i did it again like that:
i flashed riva_global_images_V10.1.1.0.NCKMIFI_20181029.0000.00_7.1_global_f444c158ed.tgz using XIAOMI-TOOL-MiFlash-for-Linux-by-IceMan-master. im on linux mint 18.3. i have 4 options:
flash_all_lock.sh
flash_all_lock_crc.sh
flash_all_except_data_storage.sh
flash_all.sh
i chose flash_all.sh
i booted into the stock rom and set it up, enabled dev options and adb.
then i switched it off, went into bootloader, flashed twrp-3.2.3-0-riva.img via fastboot.
after that i entered twrp, flashed OrangeFox-R8.3-riva.zip and rebooted into recovery
i wiped everything except external sd and usb otg (i dont have these)
after a reboot intorecovery i formatted data then rebooted in recovery
i flahed crDroidAndroid-9.0-20181002-riva-v5.0.zip
then reboot into system
no success as i expected! wtf is wrong wtf. this cant b true!
but thank u very much for ur efforts! perhaps i would try 2 restore a vendor img from sum1 which rom does work. i know its a great demand but could u send me urs? ;D i dont know if there r sum personal info..
best regards

Don't give up there might be a solution.
Pray to God for some help.

Currently I am using Xiaomi.eu beta rom. You can check their website for all the features. Its smooth, stable and can update without needing to got the recovery:victory:
This should work for you because unlike other roms this is based on miui for riva. That means you will get updates till Xiaomi ditches support for riva.
I recommend you use this rom over the global rom until you fix the problem with your phone.
Some things missing:
Choice of region is limited( India is not available)
There is no custom kernel available for miui oreo as of now.
Magisk safetynet not passed
If you're going flash this rom you need to be on latest global beta fastboot rom and need a recovery that supports oreo base.
I use batik recovery base oreo.

dont u have 2 wait 2 weeks or so till bootloader is unlocked?
what exactly do u mean with won't boot up? bootloop? or stuck at boot logo?
after flashing a custom recovery, did u boot directly into the system or did u try 2 boot into recovery? sometimes the stock recovery overwrites the custom 1 when stock rom boots up
my problem is solved. i remembered that i made a full nandroid backup with twrp before i flashed a new rom and the problem appeared. so i restored everything i backed up with twrp (incl cust) and voila, rom booted up. and i can wipe system and data and flash every rom i wanna and it still boots up \o/
i really could have tried it earlier but i didnt think of this untill yesterday ;D
well, thx for ur efforts anyway buddy @NaAnBcEhEuL9A8K7

will i be able to flash the stock rom because i tried indian version but it wont work twrp sakura
also which one shall i download fastboot or recovery ?

If you want to flash it in recovery/twrp choose recovery one. If you want to flash it via fastboot from pc choose fastboot. It's obvious. Both will lock your bootloader after flash but they will boot normally.

1) lol is there a way to not to lock my bootloader again because if it fails then all is left is fastboot??
2) and also twrp will be removed or shall i flash twrp again or will it brick my device ??
3) or i need to wait 15 days and unlock my device again??
man lot of questions
4) my mi account has unlock permission so do i need to permission again because right now i am using custom rom to keep my phone alive.:crying:
these questions will raise to all if they did the same mistake some more questions but lets see these first
also thanks man you are wonderful helper

If you unlocked your BL once on this device there will be no waiting counter. It will unlock right away. Unless you unlocked it couple days ago. There is a limitation for one account to unlock one device in month. So you will be have to wait till one month pass or unlock with redmi 6pro toolkit like I did. It skipped this limitation somehow. Anyways did you wiped data before or after flashing custom rom? What rom have you flashed? Is it booting is it usable? If not. Try wiping data in advance wipe in twrp first to solve booting problems.

i flashed
crdroid rom from redmi 6 pro forums
bootable
kk i will try advanced wipe
also that redmi6 pro tool kit u mentioned is it mi unlock tool if not plz send me the link plz
also thanks i will contact you when something went wrong
also when i flashed custom rom it shows installing unconditionally why
also the restore function is not working is it the twrp fault or the rom
it doesn't boot says boots on logo and then shows the boot animation waits for 5 min and boots twrp again automatically why???(when i try to restore the crdroid rom not to mentioned i tried flashing resurrection os but goes on boot loop )

When flashing custom ROM different from miui you should wipe dalvick, cache, data and system before flash. Then flash RR or something else gapps and boot.

Here's the toolkit If you need it

lol man that unlock tool did the trick i flashed the above rom from the mi globe rom and my phone got locked again i open the tool and then i unlocked the phone and boom it got unlocked but remember that when u unlock ur data will be deleted and always keep the backup of ur twrp image
after unlock and the login id and pass that pass u will need to enter the phone startup otherwise just boot to fastboot and then bypass account
man finally back to miui without any bugs with root man what else we want

Stuck in bootloop after flashing Pixel Experience

i’m going to post this here because i just created an account; so, after unlocking the bootloader on my redmi note 5 (whyred), i successfully installed twrp, the latest version. I deleted everything typing “yes”, then reinstalled twrp theni try to flash the pixel experience and it gives me an error 7, that i fixed with a youtube tutorial. the roms installs, then i wipe data/cache and dalvik, but when i try to boot into the rom the phone is stuck on Mi Unlocked screen for an unlimited amount of time. what can i do?

please let me know if you find anything, its my first modding and im pretty upset

Install Xiaomiflash and download the last fastboot rom for redmi note 5 pro of your region and extract it. then connect your device to your computer, launch Xiaomiflash, click on refresh, if your device was detected, click on the explorer of Xiaomiflash and select the extracted rom. Click on "clean all m" and flash the rom, after a few minute you can boot your smartphone
Sorry for my bad english and sorry for not giving a link, I have a new account
moreover I also had exactly the same problem when trying to flash pixel experience

Hi,
Did you install the pie firmware recommanded by the dev (9.4.25 or 9.5.23).
After all I read and perhaps "understood" this is due to not having the right firmware. I mean one of the both I wrote.
Hope it helps...

Download and install FW 9.4.25 from Xiaomi Firmware Page

Have you guys solved this problem?
I have exactly the same problem! I can't install PE or LineAge, Havoc OS works fine for some reason :/

I had this issue, but it solved by install twrp 3.3.1.1 and flash pie f.w, then P.E rom

No OS Installed accidentally wipe system of xiaomi mi a2 lite

Hello Good day everyone, please help this idiot who just bricked his phone for no reason at all:crying:
I accidentally wipe my system or should i say im just flat out an idiot for wiping everything without any backup. i have installed twrp and i unlock the bootloader already because i wanted to install miui in my mi a2 lite phone but ended up wiping everything and now im stuck in twrp mode. i still can do fastboot and open my phone in twrp mode but thats all NO OS. How can i save my phone back to normal. please help me. THANK YOU ALL!!!

If you can get to fastboot, use the stock rom flash script. See the stock rom thread in the guides forum.
If you've got windows, miflash may be easier to use. I think it takes the same stock rom file.

Just make sure you download a fastboot rom which has all partitions.
When I wanted to remove all traces of root from my phone last week, i noticed that many of the more recent images only have /system or just a few partitions.
I ended up installing one of the earliest Pie images (V10.0.2.0.PDLMIFJ if i recall correctly) and then doing all the OTA's until I was at V11.0.9.0.QDLMIXM or something.

Fix

It happened to me like a week ago and i was able to fix it just yesterday. cuz i am new at this root stuff. But i was able to do it at th e end. You need to install stock rom, miflash. Also download flashable stock rom. Because i installed like 5 stock roms. But they were not flashable so it did not work. Extract the stock rom that you downloaded. Then open miflash. Now go into fastboot mode and plug your phone to your pc. Now locate the folder where flashable files are and then click flash. It should say Success. If not that means it did not work.But it should work so yeah. That is it.
