So I flashed the first chinese CM13 build with fingerprint when there was no information about locking bootloader and about making a backup to restore, so I want to go back to MIUI but I don't have any backup to retore so I don't know how to do it, If anyone could tell me and the rest of the people that have done the same as me it would be so thankful.

just go to bootloader unlocked tutorial[not by mi provided offical tool] and flashed miui
First off, this is not the right forum to ask this questions. Second, if you didn’t make EFS backup I don’t think you can make phone calls, send/receive texts or use mobile data in the official MIUI any longer (someone correct me if I am wrong). You can either try a leaked and unstable MIUI (search for it in the forums) or use some new ROM with fingerprint support on this forum (Santhosh’s CM13, ROMs by Siddhesh.K15 and some others). If you are determined to use MIUI you will have to wait until Xiaomi releases an official marshmallow version.

Hmm... Not sure exactly what tutorial @sankhauaa is referring to, but if you just flash any official fastboot, you’ll be fine. Of course in order to restore phone features you will have to install TWRP.
I hardbricked the phone after installing cm13, boot edl and flash fastboot rom, this is the way i've used and phone booted
Sent from my Redmi Note 3 using Tapatalk
I didn't make a backup. I flashed back to global stable 7.3.2.0. Then I went to the fastboot mode and unlocked my bootloader again. The phone worked fine with all phone calls, etc working

For revert back to miui follow thishttp://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/unlock-bootloader-twrp-root-7-2-3-t3359492

Just a heads up. I've got my RMP since today. As a usual nexus user as I was, the first thing was to unlock the bootloader and flash whatever I can. My destination was -> unlocked bootloader -> smiui with root.
What happened it the following:
1) I unlocked my bootloader following guides (unofficial way)
2) Installed TWRP
3) Flashed SMIUI
And welcome brick. I was in emergency port (9003), and the only way to get the device running was the disasembe way. Well it worked. Now I'm on 7.2.3 with root, but guys - watch what you are flashing. This is my 3rd device (Desire HD, Nexus 4, and now RMP), and this was the first time that I had such a headaches.
SMIUi contains the locked bootloader file, so if by any chance you decide to unlock it by the unofficial way - don't flash it.
Read...read....read and one more time read there are many threads explaining how to do it without getting bricked .
Yup already lernt my lesson. Deleting emmc_appsboot.mbn from the archive before flashing is the right way.
Anyway, SMIUI is totally unusable on our devices. Flashed 6.4.21 and 6.4.14 - on both of them I get no sim/no wifi. Can't connect the device to the PC in file transfer mode also. Now I'm running xiaomi.eu 6.4.21 without issues.

Hello ktomov,
I made the same mistake. I couldn’t wait 10 days for the official unlock so I used the unofficially unlocked bootloader. Then I flashed TWRP and a Xiaomi EU ROM thinking that it’s probably gonna be OK since that’s not an official Xiaomi ROM. Nope! Bricked my device and had to use the testpoint method.
Now my question for you is what to do if want to flash a Xiaomi EU ROM again in case I don’t get the official unlock permission (is it even possible that I don’t get it?). Do I just need to replace the emmc_appsboot.mbn in the ROM’s ZIP file? I’m asking because there is a huge thread on this forum on how to maintain future OTA updates with unofficial unlock and I’d rather just stick with a TWRP-compatible ROM.
just refer to this thread if you flash anything on a unofficially unlocked bloader and ALWAYS DELETE emmc_appsboot.mbn
http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/creating-modified-boot-img-enabling-adb-t3359916
oh and as far as sMiui goes, dunno bout you, but it worked for me. it lags like hell, but it works. I had no issues with sim/wifi, and as far as MTP mode goes, disable adb in developer opts, that will trigger MTP mode. kinda annoying, but should work. same thing is happening on xiaomi eu and global roms too.

Thanks. That should make sure I don’t hardbrick my phone and retain access to EDL mode. But my question is whether replacing the emmc_appsboot.mbn is all I need to do when flashing a TWRP compatible ROM. No other scripts or changes are necessary?

Don't know what is going on with those roms, but for me sMiui 6.4.14 and 6.4.21 gives no-sim/no-wifi. Disabling dev still didn't got me to mtp. Haven't got such issues with xiaomi.eu roms though. 6.4.14 and 6.4.21 works like they should.

So if you have unlocked the bootloader the unofficial way is there any way to flash a locked bootloader later on if for example you wish to give in you phone for repair at the service center?

unlocking bootloader does not void your warranty
Hello everyone, I and my father have the exact same phone (kenzo). The problem is that even though on mine everything works like a charm and I have changed a lot of roms, my father's phone every time I try anything goes soft bricked or have problems with signal and settings. Currently I have flashed via edl the Chinese Dev rom(5.1.1) with which everything works, besides the restrictions of the rom version(language, gapps). I must say that when I first install the Chinese Dev the Sim is not recognised or I have no signal. After the first update everything is ok and calling function works like a charm. After That I try to install twrp (zxc by ~xm) and restore a backup from the previous working installation, but the only I get is settings app fc and problems with calls. Neither of the two sides hear the other while in call. This occurred when I flashed a mm bootloader zip in order to boot to nitrogen is. (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3tM1cVKiyp6Q3RvNUtLdEp1Q3M/view ) The rom booted but I had no sound in calling, and the other side couldn't hear either. Any ideas?
Thanks for your time!

I used to unlock it the official way. I found a post in the nitrogenOS thread that said that if the rom doesn't boot I should flash the zip that I have mentioned in my post. They said it was the mm bootloader. The zip contains a file named emmc_appsboot.mbn which is also on the unofficial unlock zip. So I suppose I unlocked it unofficially. I must say that every time after flashing fastboot rom the mi unlock said that bootloader was already unlocked.

Yes yes I know that with my kenzo everything works if I follow your advice. But with my father's one simply doesn't. I flashed the official miui with mi flash tool. The bootloader remained unlocked without reason. Also I tried clean flash and lock option on the tool without success. Then I wiped data and dalvik and cache and dirty flashed a miui custom rom over it. For the time being everything works perfectly except of the fingerprint sensor. Aida 64 recognize the fp, every other app not. Also I flashed radon kernel because I had settings app FC. That's all. I hope the info help you understand the situation that I am in, and find a way to make it respond as mine...
Mine and the other are exactly the same, they even had the same number on the sticker in the back and same fingerprint sensor. Mine takes every rom, unlock update without problems. My father's not. It is crazy...
I don't know why I saw everywhere that, to update from 10.0.3.0 Global Stable to Beta 8.10.25, you could only do with unlocked BL (even using XiaoMiTool it says that).
This is because I can say that I was able to do the update, not via OTA (it fails with an error message explained below) or via EDL, but via other method with a locked BL, no root and no custom recovery. To clarify, I'm using a Global Version of the Mi 8, with the Chinese Version i'ts probably not possible but I'm not sure since I did not test it, but from what I read it's not safe.
So here's what I did:
I used Xiaomi ADB: ht tp://ww w.xiaomit ool.co m/adb (just aggregate to make a link, I can't post links yet), and just install and follow the steps on the site and you are good to go
In the process, the first time it logged an error on the console that already happened when I tried to update via OTA updater (something like "Your android version is different from the current one and bla bla bla...") but right in the next attempt was successfull (the attempts are done automatically). Also, nothing was erased during the process, all data was kept which is nice

although you have successfully do it., it was still a very risky move. If you brick the phone with bootloader locked, it will be very troublesome procedure afterwards. I do not encourage people to risk their phone. Just unlock your phone bootloader first. A month wait worth more then bricking your phone with locked bootloader>

If you bricked your phone with Locked BL , you may not be able to revive it thru flashing since it may not allow flashing other firmware or recovery like TWRP. Also, ARB may brick your phone if you flashed old version.

I flashed to a newer version ofc (even so because it's from Android 8.1 to 9) and you are always allowed to flash and official ROM, even if everything goes wrong, flash back to the Global stable. The tool also notifies and doesn't proceed to flash the ROM if all attempts are tried and unsuccessful.
With things like custom recoveries is where you brick your phones, cause people either don't download and official ROM or something goes wrong and with unlocked BL you're getting screwed...
Also to wait like 25 more days to unlock BL I was like damn it let's try this method and voilá

I don't know. Maybe on the front camera it's better stabilized for photos but other than that I don't notice anything special. I use the Google Camera anyways (link for that: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/MGC_6.1.009_MI8_V1a.apk), it's much better, even more for low-light situations (although the latest version still has some bugs and missing some features that I hope will be addressed in the future)

I don't know then. Maybe if you try one more time. I don't think it will brick anyways because if the process fails, then the command line of the tool will say it can't do it and will not flash, at least afaic.

I don't want to install a rom i want to keep miui
At the beginning of the instructions there is a short description how to root.
So, I'm Kinda Confused "If you want to root then copy the stock boot from the latest stock rom into internal and use magisk to patch it, then flash the patched boot in bootloader (fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img)"
So i take the miui boot and flash it after i installed this rom and restore a backup without restoring the boot.img ?
and we don't get updates foing that (we don't get updates when we unlock bootloader but why ? ) I Guess we just gotta accept the L here

With unlocked bootloader and root you will still get OTA Updates with Miui, you just need to root again after installing the update.

You don't have to install custom ROM to get root. If you are currently on MIUI 11.0.10, you download that exact ROM, unpack it and copy boot.img to your phone. Then you install Magisk manager and use it to patch boot.img. You will get a patched boot.img which you flash in fastboot.
Ok, Is there a way to backup 'cause it says "Unlock will erase user data"
EDIT: OK I found a way to backup using MIAssistant

I have 9s and all went fine.
However, I installed the custom ROM from that thread and root as well.
Now, I have to wait 168 hours (one week) to unlock
That's normal but annoying.
Yea BUT *sniff* BUT *sniff* *sniff* WHY
(ded meme)
EDIT:. BTW what does oem unlocking in developer setting mean ?
And thanks a lot man I couldn't have done this without you.
Enable it to be on the safe side when you apply for unlocking even though I don't think it's necessary for official Xiaomi unlocking. I think it's for unofficial unlocking 'oem-unlock go' which I don't think works.
Is there Twrp For joyuse (9 pro ?) i searched the fornm and i couldn't find it.

Just transfer the files you want to backup from your phone to PC and later copy back. Apps, SMS, call log, wifi passwords etc. are backed up to your Google account (if you have enabled backup/restore), you can backup some extra stuff in MiCloud too (I don't use it, don't wanna give em my data lol, it's enough that google has it).
FYI local backup will get wiped after unlocking.
I'd recommend you stay away from TWRP because there is no official version and it's unstable. I've read reports of people bricking their devices and losing widevine L1 after installing it. Just use Xiaomi's recovery and fastboot because they're enough for both rooting and installing custom ROMs.

No i just want to make sure i don't lose my efs
Hi all, have a few questions that might seem daft to some but need to get my head around it.
I have my Mix 4 and its obviously running the CN Rom. It is littered with bugs and there are many features that do not work or just missing, to the point where i could not use it as my daily driver in its current form.
Ive been reading up on flashing the EU Odin rom, and see alot of the issues are already fixed in it.
So after 4 hours of faffing i have managed to request a bootloader unlock. and i understand this will be a full wipe and reinstall.
This is my first question 8 days wait!
1: how do I keep an eye on the time left?
2: I have what i think are all the files ready to go to flash, but i understand this is done through fastboot?
3: So no OTA updates after this i would have to keep reflashing manually.?
4: I here something about TWRP that would enable this, but dont quite understand the process, or where do the updates then come from?
5: Are there any security issues like running Banking applications after unlocking, as i think it plays with security issues.
Hope someone with better understanding can help.
Hi...
1) I use my calendar to see when the time is right to resume the unlocking process
2) there's tutorial for this ...
[ROM][MIUI][odin] Xiaomi.eu ROM for Xiaomi MIX 4
How to install Xiaomi.eu ROM for Xiaomi MIX 4 We will release fastboot ROM versions until TWRP for odin is released Steps to install xiaomi.eu ROM for first time from China ROM (All your data and files on internal storage will be deleted!) -...
forum.xda-developers.com
3) yes... no OTAs from within the system, but ...
4) with TWRP you can flash the updates. You need to check,if the update-files are marked 'fastboot' or 'recovery'(TWRP)
5) Can't answer that one.
Good Luck.
Ok thanks for your help, still deciding to take the plunge or not, expensive bit of kit. Awhile to decide i guess.
so sorry another question, if we do this one withough twrp, can we just updat or is it a complete flash again?

Updating through TWRP should leave your apps and data intact.
Edit:It was way to early to answer the question... without twrp, only fastboot is possible as far as i know. When i used fastboot, i made a complete clean flash.
So once you have done it through fastboot you can use TWRP thereafter, thats cool.
I believe a CN to EU is a data wipe anyway.

Did you follow ALL instructions of the tutorial? How exactly did you proceed?
I think I accidentally tried to restore a google backup from my old phone, guess there was an app it didnt like, anyway reflashed to 21.9.8 and all is going well, amazing improvement over the original. very pleased.
Been having a play and only found 1 issue as yet, when you lock an open app in recents, you can still swipe it away?.

Thanks for replying. Did you have to do anything special like Magisk hide to hide that you rooted the phone?
Im not rooted, just running custom rom. I have no need to root.
What if I want to go from EU to CN? Bought the phone. It came with EU rom. But I would like to install the official rom.
