purchased a mi pad with global firmware installed. What I did:
1. bootload unlocked
2. installed latest chinese firmware by running flash_all.bat
3. the tablet tried to boot several times, and fall back to fastboot mode
4. installed latest global firmware by running flash_all.bat
5. same issue: he pad tried to boot several times, and fall back to fastboot mode
I believe my tablet is soft bricked. Any advices? thanks.
Miflash - There are many guides around.
Here's one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/miflash-guide-use-xiaomi-flash-tool.4262425/
Yes, it's for a different device, but the process is the equivalent. Adjust accordingly.

thanks. I had a problem to run Miflash on my win11 machine:
1. can not install driver.
2. after ignore driver errors, miflash tool can not find my devices.
Also tried miflash pro and miflash 2, no luck.

Try drivers from here...
In case you are not familiar with installing drivers (although I'm sure you are), right click on android_winusb.inf and select install. That should do it nice and quick.
Also once you get the drivers up and running, and come to use MiFlash, be sure to check 'clean all' in bottom right corner of MiFlash. Do NOT leave it on the default 'clean all and lock'. This option will re-lock your bootloader which will brick your device if you flash anything other than original sotck rom from stock region. It will require Xiaomi service center to unbrick using EDL - IIRC

Hello!
Today I finally received permission to unlock my bootloader, after waiting a long 15 days (360 hours). After solving some MiFlash Unlock issues, I finally unlocked my phone. I flashed TWRP and Magisk, and then afterwards I flashed Xiaomi.eu's stable whyred ROM, which worked (including camera sensors), but was terribly slow and clearly very unoptimized. For this reason, I decided to flash the leaked official Global ROM, 9.5.6 from Xiaomi. All was well, and I was presented with the initial set-up screen. After selecting my language (English [United Kingdom]), I was forced to select China as my region on the next page. Seconds after selecting it, my phone reboot and opened the system again, only to reboot within seconds. This process would probably repeat endlessly if I didn't have it in fastboot mode. I can still access TWRP recovery, and my phone still shows that it's unlocked on the boot screen. I've tried doing another clean wipe, and then installation of the global ROM with no success (same error occurs, even when I tried English (United States)).
I've tried to use the MiFlash tool (2017.4.25) but my device isn't detected when I click Refresh, and the fastboot mode displays "press any key to shutdown...". I've tried many different drivers as I thought it was a driver issue, but now I'm not sure.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

I tried that, same issue. Also tried with the new 9.5.11 global rom update.
FIrst Flash MIUI Nougat Rom
http://bigota.d.miui.com/V9.2.7.0.NEIMIEK/miui_WHYREDGlobal_V9.2.7.0.NEIMIEK_b6ab1f7b5b_7.1.zip
after flashing this Rom and setup complete then flash the leaked official Global ROM, 9.5.6. Otherwise you won't be able to pass the setup screen in latest Oreo Rom.

This one? Fastboot ROM will probably fix that as the bootloop is caused by a conflict with the remaining partitions from the last rom.
Flashing with MIFLASH Tool and selecting CLEAN ALL will clear that issue. Check Troubleshooting at end of the tutorial, it's already answered there. My first tutorial was to downgrade to nougat but that is not needed anymore as the fastboot rom for 9.5.6 is already available.

Ah thank you, I was flashing through recovery. With that being said, MiFlash doesn't detect my phone in fastboot, even if I can normally flash to it through fastboot if I were to open a terminal. Clicking "Refresh" in MiFlash Tool just disables fastboot. I realize its unrelated to your own tutorial, as its probably some fault on my computer. Thanks for your replies!

Here are somethings u may try:
Reinstall mi unlock with latest one.
Check all the drivers.
Ensure that ur phone and pc must be on same Ip address before unlocking.
If using windows 10 you must turn off signed driver verification by pressing and holding shift key while rebooting pc selecting troubleshoot startup ( summit like that) then signed driver verification off its option 7 ( pressing f7 to select) when pc reboots install driver again this time a message pops up and says driver unsigned do you wish install select install anyway now when running the unlock program( as administrator).
I hope these things will help otherwise wait for 7 to 9 days and then try unlocking.

I have a Xiaomi Note 8 Pro initially came with China Stable Rom V11.0.3.0.PGGCNXM. It was also unlocked.
I accidentally flashed Global Stable ROMV11.0.6.0.PGGMIXM via MiFlashTool and while it was successful, it rebooted to Recovery Mode with the message "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device".
After that, I pressed "Wipe All Data", so now the device is also locked.
Since there is no OS installed, I cannot access the device and consiquently to use Mi Unlock Tool properly to Unlock it again.
The device is now locked, without OS installed. However I can access Fastboot menu and Recovery mode.
Is there anyway to unlock the device in this state and flash it's original Rom again?
Please if you have anything to suggest that might help me, answer my question. I'm desperate. :crying:
Hmmm. Can you still access fastboot mode? If yes I recommend using miflash pro and flashing the correct rom for your device, or manually flashing all images via fastboot.
You've likely selected Clean all and lock (default setting) which flashed MIUI and locked the bootloader afterwards which bricked the device because of cross-region ROM flashing. Since you can't flash it with locked bootloader your only option is to take it to the service center.
@JuanM2020 @n0b0dy666 First of all, thank you guys for your suggestions.
Update: I tried to flash it's original Rom via MiFlash Pro, however when I connected my device on the final step, as for the SP tool to flash the Rom, my pc couldn't detect it. I even risked and disassembled the device to remove the battery in order to turn off the device, but it didn't work either. (Cdc & Vcom Mediatek drivers both installed properly on my pc).
The device is recognized by my computer when in Flashboot menu. However for the SP tool to work, it should be turned off, but recognizable from computer.
Before posting here, of course I went to a service center, but they told me because I tried to install Global Rom 11.0.06, while it's original Rom was China Stable Rom 11.0.03, I should wait for the 11.0.06, as a downgrade is not possible (not sure if it's true). We don't have an official Xiaomi Center in my county, where I go was the best chance I had.
Any other recommendations?

If you can still access fastboot mode flash correct images manually.
E.g.:
Fastboot flash system system.img
Fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Etc etc

Hi guys,
i want to flash my MiPad 5 from chinese to global Rom.
I already installed the Bootloader Unlock Tool and waited one week.
Now the bootloader is unlocked and i downloaded "Xiaomi Pad 5 Global MIUI V12.5.4.0.RKXMIXM Update". There are two different Download Versions, one for Recovery and one for fastboot. Which one is correct and usable without root?
Now i'm Stuck in the Process of Downloading TWRP because I can't find a specific version for my MiPad 5. Is there anybody who can give me a step by step Guide what to do now?
Thank you

TWRP is not required to flash the global ROM.
Just specify the unzipped global ROM as the working directory of MiFlash.
try flashing fastboot rom using miflash tool
finally could flash the global rom.
i am pretty sure it was about the ryzen gaming pc i used. now it worked out with my intel laptop....
strange problem

Mi Pad 5 didn't have recovery partition, since it use A/B structure. You must execute fastboot boot recovery.img and after that install recovery to RAMdisk.

Whered you even get twrp? Had an error while flashing from cn to global as well about sparse super failed. Then tried reflashing but i got the same error as you had and all i did was reboot the tablet in fastboot while it was still in fastboot and after that it flashed successfully even though it threw out am error flash is not done but the tablet rebooted hy itself and then booted up after a minute or two. Almost gave me a heart attack while i was at it
Edit: seems you flashed it successfully already thats good. Fastboot can be clunky on ryzen sometimes, i remeber back on mi a2 had to use a hub instead of directly connecting my phone to my ryzen pc for fastboot to work properly and not get stuck while flashing. But now i can connect directly after switching to a b450motherboard, was using a b350 before
I am trying to use the Mi Flash tool and when I open it, it tells me to install Drivers, but the screen just hangs there when I press Continue.
I also get an error saying a specific log folder is not present.
I also am trying to install global rom on china model. Please help!

prob just driver problems, i use ryzen and it works fine.
Don't know if I need to create a new thread. After the unlocking, I tried to change the region from RU to CN and got the same problem after a "successful" update as chrwo with "Mismatching image and device" error and fastboot mode. Then I tried to flash global version and the device error is gone but I still have the fastboot mode. Recovery from MiToolv2 doesn't help either, after successful recovery tablet still goes only to fastboot.
Got it working after flashing with miflash on the intel PC. I used a USB port on the motherboard this time.
So maybe there is really a problem with Ryzen.

i also brick the device using mi-flash sucking program. i finally using fastboot command flashing which copying from the stock rom "flash_all.bat" file.
So we can't lock the bootloader after installing the global rom?
Hi all,
I hope someone will be able to guide me as how to recover from this.
So today I tried flashing my POCO F3 with MIUI 14 (xiaomi.eu_multi_HMK40_POCOF3_V14.0.4.0.TKHCNXM_v14-13) from the stock version MIUI 12.
I first successfuly unlocked the bootloader using MiUnlock. I then unlocked the developer options , usb unbugging etc. again on the fresh phone.
I also had USB / ADB and fastloader drivers installed.
I downloaded xiaomi.eu_multi_HMK40_POCOF3_V14.0.4.0.TKHCNXM_v14-13 , phone was already in fastboot and connected to the computer so run 'windows fastboot first install with data format' as an administrator which opened the cmd , after agreeing it started flashing the first few files successfully but when it gets to " Sending 'cmnlib64_ab' (504 KB) " the process just stopped there and it has been like this for around 30 mins - no error ...simply stuck on this step .....
I am not sure on what to do now to avoid bricking my phone, should I leave it connected ? Disconnect it and try flashing it again ? Download an older version of Xiaomi.Eu ROM (e.g MIUI 13 ) ?
Leave it connected for about 1 hour or so until you get success or error confirmation. If failed just reboot to system. If system failed to show up then go to fastboot again and install xiaomi.eu a12 version.
This is exactly why I hate fastboot method and always install rom from twrp
Flash 14.0.5 via orangefox recovery.
I left it overnight and nothing happened . I disconnected the phone and it rebooted ok. I am kind of worried about trying again. Is the twrp method safer ?
Just discovered that I stupidly set the "USB debugging (Security settings) on but I forgot to turn on "USB debugging" which is a few lines above in settings. Could that be what has stopped the process?
Phone should flash fine even if debugging is off. I would recommend you to make sure that the cable doesnt even move an inch during the whole flashing process as that sometimes interrupts it especially if you have a loose port.
I just switched the usb port from the back of the pc (which I think are USB 3.0) to the front panel of the PC (I suspect USB 2.0 ) and tried flashing the MIUI 14 from yesterday again - It worked !!!!

you can do if you flash the fastboot version by mi flash tool, and your bootloader is unlocked.

Thanks... I really appreciate the early reply.
But can't I do this using the recovery method? And also must the android and miui versions of both the global stock rom and custom rom be the same?
Nevermind...thanks for your help
if you want to flash specific version of android, then you need unlocked bootloader and mi flash tool, otherwise make updater app do its job. and no need for the global stock rom and custom rom be the same. just put in your mind to backup your data .
