Stuck on MIUI pie latest beta!

Actually I flashed MIUI 10 pie beta yesterday and now because of battery drain issues and bugs I want to go to another ROM which is masik 3.3 which is based on Oreo.
I am not sure what to do.
Should I directly install masik 3.3 by doing clean flash over Miui Pie beta or should I first go to Developer/Stable Oreo based MIUI 10 ROM and then clean flash Masik 3.3?
What abour ARB/firmware?Thanks!

First oreo latest stabil miflash to flash. After install twrp and masik 3.3 clean flash

Second option (I did it already). Flash via Mi Flash latest stable.
The first option will soft brick your device.

I tried using mi flash but device id not showing.
To confirm I type adb devices in command prompt. List of devices attached is showing empty. After that i tried installing new updates drivers but nothing helped. I am on windows 10. ADB drivers are also installed. Platform tools too. I did all but list of devices is showing empty in fastboot mode. Though I can see adb devices when in recovery or in system. I don't know what to do. can you help please?

Install Pie and MIUI Pie Recovery. Then, from recovery, boot to bootloader and check in PC if it's listed.

Well I tried it but didn't work.
Instead now I am flashing Pixel Experience and then after going to pixel experience, I will go to latest MIUI stable ROM available on Xiaomi website and then never go to Miui beta Pie update unless stable version comes. Too much headache. lol
But thank you all who responded

Is it possible to return to Oreo 10.2.2.0 from Pie beta 9.3.28?
I have unlocked bootloader and orangefox recovery for pie.

I recovered my phone by flashing Stock ROM "miui_HMNote5HMNote5ProGlobal_V10.2.1.0.OEIMIXM_5191f339c3_8.1.zip" via TWRP. It will overwrite TWRP with Stock Recovery, You have to reflash TWRP via fastboot.
After that you will be able to flash any Custom ROM successfully.

I was tried to direct flash with TWRP and softbrick my whyred, but I figured out when I was done flash miui 8.1, I should flash Redwolf recovery which is capable to flash persist partition to fix some of bugs acquired from downgrade. Its work for me, first I tried direct flash to miui 10.2.2.0 and its boot fine, but when I reboot, It doesnt boot up and on my pc detected as 9008 (softbrick?). Then I flash pie twrp thru fastboot and booting to twrp, flash miui beta pie and let it booting,
Second try. Now im on miui pie again LOL. then I flash miui 10.2.2.0 thru TWRP, and flash redwolf recovery, then reboot to redwolf, then flash persist.img. then boot up fine and no bug.

I flashed latest stable rom on miui pie beta through twrp. Now i cannot boot into recovery mode at all (softbrick?)
When I boot into miui, we have to setup things but when we are adding account google services stops and i see black screen , I cannot go ahead, i think zip file was not good. I dont know what to do now. I cant go to twrp neither to system and cannot flash through fastboot becuz it doent recognize adb devices

Does fastboot recognized?? If its recognized. U can fix it easily.
I was on same problem as you, but I can flash thru mi flasher. At my second try (to make my phone in same condition as before I fix it), I flash oreo recovery without reboot the device after flashing miui oreo. And then flash the persist img thru advance-terminal and its work and no softbrick anymore.

Well I went to service centre and they flashed it. I am on Stable ROM now. I couldn't through my computer because it's not recognising adb devices but recognising fastboot devices. I can't boot into any recovery other then stock even through fastboot devices. You know why? I can't find any reasons for that.

Yes you can, miflash work in fastboot mode not in recovery, it will also restore your recovery to stock.

Can NOT boot into custom recovery after MIUI Pie 10.3.1 Global Stable update

My bootloader is unlocked.
After installing PIE update to MIUI Global 10.3.1.0 Stable, when I try to boot OrangeFox recovery ver. R9.0-2 for Whyred using fastboot command "fastboot boot recovery.img" in CMD ( the result is shown below), the phone does NOT boot in OrangeFox recovery. It just remain stuck on MI logo after booting ...
C:\platform-tools>fastboot boot recovery.img
Downloading 'boot.img' OKAY [ 0.951s]
booting OKAY [ 0.157s]
Finished. Total time: 1.158s
Kindly advise on how to resolve the issue

Did you temporarily deactivate the Anti-Rollback-Feature with
>fastboot flash antirbpass dummy.img
where you will find the dummy.img in the official download of the Xiaomi firmware before trying to boot into recovery?
This needs to be done in the same fastboot-session that you want to boot into recovery.

Many thanks for the advice. Worked like a charm. :good:
No, I did NOT deactivate the Anti-Rollback-Feature which was causing the problem.
In the past, whenever I installed custom recovery on my device including the first time, I did NOT have to flash dummy.img as my device booted into custom recovery without flashing dummy.img.
P.S.: I used dummy.img from this thread:

ONLY IF you have Unlocked-Bootloader, then you can use this MIUI Flashing Guide- Method 2: Fastboot Update to unbrick your device.
Please carefully chose the firmware version (Global / India) to download the fastboot stock ROM for your device.

Great that it solved your problem!
As addendum: The Anti-Rollback (afaik) has to be disabled every single time the recovery is changed/updated. This caught me off guard as I wanted to update TWRP from within the offical TWRP app. This failed and made my recovery unusable (Although I could still normally boot into system).
So let this be a cautionary tale to people.

I can't boot to my custom recovery in my redmi note 5. it is booting to the original recovery. I tried TWRP and REDWOLF recoveries . It will boot in the first time, then I reboot my phone after that when I reboot, it is booting to the original recovery. Same happened when I tried RED WOLf recovery. Pls help me.

You might do something wrong on miflash tool. Retry but I never used this
It's possible to flash global on cn if bootloader is unlocked.
BTW why not flashing orangefox twrp and flash miui with it ? Xiaomi.eu or any other modded miui ?

Sent from my MI MAX 3 using XDA Labs

When you flashed global rom with tool you needed to choose option to only wipe data but you chose flash and lock hence stuck in EDL mode now. Need to have someone with permissions remove it but it take you to open back off phone and do test point. I did same thing as you guys and found a guy you got my phone back. It's an easy error to make and it's why phone will go to fastboot when try to boot. You needed to change option. Try unlock bootloader as if flash work it will boot then when bootloader unlocked
If your bootloader is still unlocked then check the version of global rom your flashing as need a fastboot version not recovery

have you solved your issue?

Hi there,
I encountered the same issue. I tried to flash some CN Rom without enough research, without knowing that you can't just flash an Android 10 rom from 9 directly by recovery (even TWRP). So I ended up Fastboot or TWRP but never able to boot into system. Fortunately I didn't flash my Max3 by fastboot rushly, so my phone was still unlocked.
This is how I solved it:
1. Download an official CN ROM (the below I used is MIUI 11 with Android 9.9.x);
I can't post link here but search "miui通过线刷升级" - you shall see a miui.com link ending with shuaji-393.html. That's the page I download the Mi Max3 ROM from.
2. Use MiFlash to flash the official ROM with the flash option "clean all", NOT "clean All and lock";
3. The phone shall reboot into system, give it 5-10 minutes;
4. Flash the miui.eu ROM you like (DO make sure it is Android 9 tho) by recovery (tutorial given under every official xiaomi.eu ROM download).
Again it's easy to search
It took me less than an hour to do it (I don't have much experience with new XiaoMi phone). So don't worry about bricking your phone forever.
Hope it helps to destress

which twrp did you use?
What steps did you take to flash?
Does Miui start up regularly?
Have you tried flashing it again?

Then you can try to redo the process again, or the image may be corrupted, try to download it again and try again
