Going back from a custom ROM to the official ROM - Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers

Hello there,
I am sure that my question has been answered numerous times but I can not find a thread which would help me or at least fits my problem.
I currently have LineageOS for MicroG installed (LOS 15.1, latest build). The device runs good so far, but I want to try out MIUI10 and go back to stock or use the xiaomi.eu ROM.
My problem is, if I try to flash the xiaomi.eu ROM in the TWRP (I have 3.2.3 installed), I get stuck in the boot logo (I waited about 30 minutes, so I am pretty sure that it will not boot).
So I thought, maybe I have to flash the official global first and then flash the .eu ROM in TWRP again. But I can not even flash the official global ROM via the Mi flash tool, because I get stuck at the boot screen again.
Flashtool displays only a succesful message, after this the device tries to reboot. Can somebody help me here? I tried it with the official fastboot ROM, downloaded directly from Xiaomi.
Thank you!
Edit: and of course I made a factory reset before I tried to flash something in TWRP.

Have you tried to format?

Just flash the ROM via Mi Flash Tool instead of TWRP, worked fine for me

Recovery rebooting without flashing

Hi
While flashing CM13 on my redmi 1s, I did a clean install, meaning wiping everything, and then when I went to flash CM13, TWRP just reboots the moment I swipe to install. This happens with any .zip file.
I installed CWM using fastboot, and that gives me the same problem. The moment I try to flash/install anything using a recovery, that recovery reboots and doesn't flash anything. My device is now useless since it doesn't have an OS installed and no way of doing so..
From what I can tell the system partition is bad because when I boot into recovery it isnt mounted
When I take out the battery now it just goes straight to the fastboot screen. I can take it into recovery but it goes to fastboot by default
Please help
Hi dude,
i guess you have checked the integrity of your cm13 ROM file and (winrar>test archive) , your best bet would be flashing a fastbootrom and then come back to cm. Head over to miui and download latest fastboot rom applicable to you.
And its usual booting into fastboot when there is no OS installed atleast for our device so chill dont loose hopes..!

Flashing the fastboot rom doesn't work.. My recovery is broken too, because I can't flash anything.. In either MiRecovery 2.0.1, CWM or twrp.. When I flash the MIUI rom via fastboot it just boots into recovery..
EDIT, I just got it into MIUI but the 4.3 version from china, without Google, and I can't download google via the MI market. So i'm downloading an international version now and will try to flash using MiFlash.
Does anyone know how I can fix the recovery? It still won't flash anything and reboots the moment I try to.

Helium Stock Fastboot Firmware

Greetings, I can't get my flash to see my phone, even after installing QC driver. Mi PC Suit is also not see it. I was able to Flash the Nougat Beta via the fastboot firmware and running flash all. I can't find the stock global rom with fastboot install, just zip. What are my options? I can wipe and install the stock zip firmware in TWRP (just booting but not flashing TWRP) and I get no errors in the flash, it all appears normal but the phone won't boot. I will say that I am almost certain this did work the very first time I tried it but have not been able to do it since. Can I rename the MM ZIP update zip and run the updater in Nougat to flash back to MM?
Also a side question, but it really bugs me that I can't boot into stock recover/wipe by the powewr//up Vol buttons. Just get the picture of a PC asking for Mi Suit. Is there a trick to getting to stock recovery? Thanks for any help

[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.

How to flash MIUI 10 ROM and Firmware?

I'm planning on updating my Mi 5s to Lineage OS16 but I would first like to flash the latest firmware for the device. To do this I first need to flash the developer firmware and ROM from here. This however is not possible. To flash the ROM requires a previous version of MIUI to be installed since no "fastboot version" exists yet. In the past, a "fastboot version" of the ROM could be flashed using their XiaoMiFlash tool but since that version does not yet exist for MIUI 10, I'm forced to use the other method of flashing from the device itself. This would usually be fine, however, since I am on LineageOS, I am unable to flash MIUI from the device. Does anyone know how to flash MIUI 10 when their Mi 5s is using LineageOS? Any help is appreciated.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much!
Hey!
I too am having some troubles, but the linked XDA thread does not give an answer.
I want to install the MIUI 10 Global Stable form xiaomi eu (based on Oreo) (https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/miui-10-0-10-1-10-2-10-3-10-4-stable-release.47170/), but after installation it does not boot.
I have tried the following:
I am coming from official LOS 16, and had my storage encrypted. Before installation of LOS16 I updated the firmware using xiaomifirmwareupdater.com to version 10.2.3.
Now, I wipe cache, dalvik, system and data and then install the zip from xiaomi.eu (https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603906104), which does not throw an explicit error, but returns a [0] in TWRP. Then, when I reboot, TWRP gives the message "No OS installed"'. I continued anyways, and let the phone sit for 30 minutes, but it is stuck on a boot screen (different boot screen than I had with LOS though). I checked the MD5 hash, which is correct. Also, I performed exactly the same procedure another time.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
I though it might had to do something with the following:
- going from AOSP to MIUI?
- Having encrypted through LOS16?
- Having updated the firmware to 10.2.3, and the installing a 10.2.1 ROM (although the xiaomi eu roms have their required firmware baked into the zip right?)
Any help would be much appreciated!

Help - not booting into os!

Hi.
I dont know where to start.
My redmi 5a had the last original software miui 11 based (android 8.1). Then I successfully unlocked the bootloader some days ago and somehow managed to install nitrogenOS (android 11 based).
Then I tried to flash another custom rom and everything went bad. I cant boot into any os anymore. I get stuck at the boot screen with the android logo and after some time it starts again and again...
I already tried to install a custom oreo recover firmware, which works, so I could start twrp again. But then every os I tried to install does not work. Fastboot works.
I am very confused now and dont know what to do next
Since you have bootloader already unlocked you can use Mi Flash (Xiaomi's own flash tool) to flash a stock ROM back to you device. This usually help, but of course, it will make you lose the custom ROM installed and the recovery.
Also, pay attention while flashing with this tool. There is an option at the bottom of the program that locks the bootloader again. If you don't want that you have to change this options every time you close the program.
OK, I started XiaomiTool V2 (on linux) and choose the option, that my device is bricked. I then have to choose my model (Redmi 5a riva) and start in fastboot. Now the tool starts to download and install the following rom to recover the smartphone:
riva_global_images_V11.0.2.0.OCKMIXM_20191106.0000.00_8.1_global_605da3d46d.tgz
But it does not work. The smartphone starts and I can see the start screen (powered by android). After some seconds there is a white screen with the words: just a sec. Then the smartphone starts again and it repeats again and again...
Nobody an idea?

This has happened to me before. From the name of the image that XiaomiTool download and installed I can assume it is an more recent ROM. (since it has 2019 and 8.1 Global in it)
Do not let XiaomiTool download and install a ROM. Download a older Stock ROM yourself and make XiaomiTool install the ROM that you have download.
As I said previously. Try to download the original Stock ROM that came with your phone when you bought. BEFORE ANY official updates from Xiaomi. This have worked for me.
Hi.
Thanks It works now. I have installed the stock rom.
Is there a guide to get from stock rom (nougat) to custom rom?

So firstly you need a recovery image (TWRP, PBRP, OF, Batik Recovery) to replace MIUI Recovery. flash it via fastboot with adb (you can do it right?).
After that reboot and push the button to recovery and remember make backup firstly or you can ignore it and yeah do it own your risk.
wipe or advanced wipe Cache, Data, System, Dalvik, Vendor.
and then install the CUSROM, and GApps.
and yeah only that to install CUSROM i know
