Stucked in Fastboot mode

Hi Guys,
I am stucked at fastboot mode afterb trying to flash back to China Rom,how to get out of it?
Thanks in advance.

Mi max 3 anti roll back, you mus flash last version to unbrick your device

1. This is not the right section for this question.
2. if you came from 8.8.23 China Beta you have Anti-rollback, which means that to move to china stable you would have to wait for the next china release and flash it from the updater app and not from fastboot. I know its annoying but its safe. If you are stuck in fastboot try flashing latest 8.8.23 China Beta from mi flasher
3. if you came from 8.8.9 China Beta, Try flashing 8.8.9 again

This happened me too today. My phone arrived with the fake global rom 9.6.4. I was flashing official Chinese rom v9.6.11.0 and got a message saying flash successful, however a window also popped up saying MiFlash stopped working and my phone was stuck on the fastboot screen then.
If you find a solution to this problem I would appreciate it and vice versa.

STUCK TWO!!!

1- flash and boot to twrp
2- format data then wipe (system and cashes)
3- flash xiaomi.eu 8.8.9 or any release before that and reboot
4- use mi flashtool to flash any stable before 9.6.12 or beta before 8.8.17 and choose wipe all and lock in mi flashtool ( this is very important to unlock it your self later with official permission)
Goodluck

yes, most of the unlocked phones from retailers are unlocked without official authorization and that is the main reason for ADB/fast boot fails in some cases , I have MM1, MM2 and now MM3 and I know this by experience.

hi, you enlighten me so much. can i ask more? now what rom do u use in mi max 3? and why?

So to rectify, I tried to flash the official China ROM V.9.6.11 again. It did not flash properly again the 2nd time.
I then asked it to "flash and lock". Official China ROM flashed now and operating on my phone.
My plan is now to apply to have the phone OFFICIALLY unlocked, as it was obviously unofficially unlocked to put the fake Global ROM on it by the vendor, which caused a problem being stuck in Fastboot.
I do not mind waiting the 2 weeks, and once unlocked I will either put the Xiaomi.EU rom on it, or hopefully the official Global ROM will be released by that time.

You must relock and unlock with official mi permission to avoid fastboot flashing issues.

Where I can download the official rom to use mui flash?
Where i can find an explanation to use mui flash? Cause after lock the boot loader the phone is in bootloop...

What do you actually flash in step 1?
Is step 3 really necessary? Why can't I flash from the fake ROM directly to 9.6.11?
Thanks, man!

in step (1) flash official twrp ( I used minimal adb v1.4.3), step (3) is to have correct firmware and avoid mi flasher fail and boot loop ( many guys try flashing directly from fake rom to China but ended up with bootloops)

Alright, so I am on China stable 9.6.11 with TWRP (not Xiaomi original recovery). When I flashed my latest ROM, I chose "clean all and lock (bootloader)" per your instructions and I applied for offical bootloader unlocking by downloading Xiaomi flash unlocking. I still have 500+ hours, but I was told when my bootloader is unlocked eventually, my user data will be erased again.
So will it be a better idea to flash global stable ROM first or wait for the official bootloader unlocking then flash global stable ROM?

Question: I have China Stable 9.6.12.0 on mine Max3. If I want to install the Global Version should I have to wait for Global Version equal version (9.6.12.0) or later? Os there any suggestion to flash the incoming Global 9.6.7.0 on mine (ARB suposed to be implemented in mine version)?
Inviato dal mio S8 utilizzando Tapatalk

hello all, if someone can help me, i have my mi max3 with locked bootloader.
now i dont have any rom on it so trying to load a rom but getting an error ERASE is not allowed in locked state
what rom can i flash on it ?
tried to unlock bootloader via the tool, it gets stuck at 50% cannot verify phone.

Should I update to MIUI 10 by OTA or unlock bootloader to flash MIUI 10

I just bought the redmi 6 pro which unfortunately is the Chinese version but not minding almost all I see in the phone is in Chinese and I use Google translate to read few things here and to be frank, I love the phone and will keep maximising how interesting it will be. I saw an update alert in the settings to download and install an update as shown in the picture below but I keep seeing people who write about unlocking bootloaders and tweaking their phones. Apart from installing custom ROMs, themes, etc; what else is in this hype of unlocking bootloaders? Hope it is safe to update from OTA? Though I use to be tech zealous about custom in my previous Android phones but I've come to just love and stay in peace with the official ROM of this device and wouldn't want altering any of it's official settings.

If you have China version with CN Miui (ODICNFD) you can do OTA update.
You need to unlock bootloader if you have China version with Indian Miui (ODMMIFD) and want to do OTA update.
You must be sure which version of phone and which version of Miui you have

I have modified bootloader and installed Indian rom on CN version
If I check my product name
fastboot getvar product
It says sakura_ Indian
That why I can't do a OTA update without unlock bootloader because I have CN version with modified bootloader.
Just check your version in fastboot mode (btw your box of Redmi 6 pro has to be red and with Chinese characters. If it is correct you can do OTA update without unlock bootloader.

First of you have to unlock bootloader. Then Check in fastboot mode name of your phone. "fastboot getvar product". If you have sakura just unpack Miui global fastboot rom and edit flash_all.bat and flash_all.sh by notepad++ and change sakura_india to sakura. Then install it with miflash. Use only clean all, don't use clean all and lock!

Need help about ARB

Hi, just a little bit of confusion here about arb. I have bought rn5 pro from someone and its miui version is 10.3.1 stable which to me is the latest version available now. My question is, is it ok if i want to miflash this device to its current version 10.3.1 with clean all tick? I want to format this phone, unlock bootloader and install custom rom. Another question is, can i install latest xiaomi.eu rom which is version 10.3.1 also? Since its the same version of my current miui. Will it be safe? My last question about arb is, so it is not safe for us to downgrade the phone because of arb is it correct? But as long as its just upgrading the firmware, its just fine? Thank you

Upgrading is ok. For downgrading just make sure, that build you are trying to flash has exactly the same arb level as the one you are currently using

yes miflash will flash the rom as it left from factory. using fastboot rom and miflash to start clean is the way to go. dont need to flash this way all the time only when theres something strange in rom that cant be fixed.
yes you can install xiaomi.EU stable is 10.4 i beleive. for this you will flash in twrp.
downgrade is possible as long as the rom is the same ARB as the phone.
Step One
Turn your phone to fasboot mode
Connect your Redmi Note 5 to PC with USB
Step Two
in PC go to C:\adb\
Push shift + Right Click
select Open Command window here
In CMD write this
fastboot devices
then write
fastboot getvar anti
it should say ARB4 so you can downgrade to any ARB4 rom.

Downgrading MIUI 11 to MIUI 10

Have someone already tried this? Downgrading from Miui 11 to Miui 10? Or from some Miui 10 to another version of Miui 10? I've the Redmi 7 Global and my bootloader is locked. I tried downgrading using the built in update app and choosing a previous package but it doesn't let me to do that. I don't know if it's possible by flashing Miui 10 in fastboot, has anyone tried? Fastboot getvar anti gives me =1 and I read somewhere that =1 means there's no problem to downgrade but I'm not sure

You will need to unlock bootloader and download miui 10 fastboot rom and remember when flashing select clean all and lock if u want to lock bootloader.

if i want to download grade from 11.0.8 to 11.0.5 without unlocking bootloader (i mean by recovery zip)

Nope Xiaomi restricted downgrading Option via updater app the only option left is fastboot

To anyone,
I just want to know if it's possible to (& how to) downgrade (WITHOUT A PC! aka using just zip file) for my Redmi 7A using the update app\tool on MIUI devices, before I update it... I'll hate to upgrade only to find bugs etc... so it's always good to know how to downgrade jic as I'm very cautious & I've never tried these things. tnx.

Need help in downgrading

I have redmi note 5 pro and I have installed the latest orange fox recovery in it. Please tell me how can i downgrade my miui 11.0.3.0 to miui 10.2.1.0 oreo without bricking my device.
Thanks in advance

I'm not sure (wait for a proper answer) but I think ROMs from MIUI 9.5.19.0 and above are ARB4. I recommend that you flash a fastboot ROM that include the proper firmware for Oreo.
Fastboot ROMs: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/miui/whyred/

yes I recomend fastboot way too, not recovery's

I will like to ask people why recovery downgrading is risky as with custom recovery u can have n number of possibilities

Thanks buddy for ur help, I successfully downgraded to 10.2.1.0.
One more question,what is the minimum ROM version that i can downgrade to (I have ARB 4)?

Now your ARB version is 4.
You can download the offical ROM image package and exract it.
Then open the file called "flash_all.bat". Look for "set CURRENT_ANTI_VER" in this file and look at the ARB version of the package.
If the anti level is 4 , it's safe to downgrade to this version.
If it's below 4, DO NOT flash the ROM or your phone will be bricked.
