Hi ,
I have to revert back to latest MIUI ROM from CM13 ROM [ locked Bootloader]. I have read other threads too but theres never a clear answer.
First of all I dont have any backup of any MIUI roms. I want to do a clean install of latest MIUI build.
What do I have? : Alka TWRP, CM 13 with locked bootloader I think.
Can someone please tell me what do things I need to revert back with steps?
Do I need to unlock the bootloader first then flash the lastest build of MIUI with MiFlash tool? or the bootloader needs to unlocked later after the flash?
Or can I install MIUI recovery rom? with ALKA TWRP?
Flesh miui rom via edl method using mi flash tool.
download fastboot rom and flash via mi flash.
it will lock ur bootloader so unlock it via mi unlock again if u officially unlocked.
off course this method requires a PC.

In the developer mode settings, enable advance options to restart. This will give you the option (on long pressing the power button) to reboot into recovery. If by this method you can get into recovery it would be alot easy to flash the MIUI ROM (which you can get for your device from the official miui rom download site).
If you can't get into recovery, you will need a PC/laptop.

Most probably yes.
But you could try( before unlocking) booting into recovery as i have mentioned above.

Nope, it's not a problem.
1. Download the fastboot ROM and MiFlash
2. Enter EDL mode.
3. Flash the ROM with MiFlash (if u have problems with stable version, just install the beta one).
I dont know why...but it not work!
When i go in fastboot mode and flash with miflash the official developer rom it says "Critical partition flashing is not allowed"!
When i go in edl mode and flash with miflash the rom it says "Open Serial Port COM 3: Failed"!
The adb driver is correctly installed but in device manager it is a yellow error on the device.
I think the reason is because i have now a marshmallow bootloader from CM13, and not a lollipop bootloader from MIUI. Is this correct?
What can i do? Please help me!

unlock boot loader-->flash twrp through fast boot-->restore backup
If you are coming from MM do not directly flash MIUI 5.1 first restore the old backup of MIUI because some users had lost their IMEI.TC
So I've read a lot of guides but a few questions still remain unanswered am hoping anyone here can shed some light
-> can I unlock on global stable (Lollipop) miui 7 version 8.0.2.0 (on which am currently on) or do I have to flash global developer rom to be able to unlock ?
-> can I use updater app to switch from stable to developer ? or do I need to use fastboot rom ?
Now on rooting
-> Can I simply install a twrp of my choice and flash super su with it to get root ?
->Do I need to flash universal boot img patcher before or after super su ?
->do I need to flash lazy flasher ?
Some people say simply flash supersu in any twrp to get root others say also flash ubp first! others say also lazy flasher
which is true ?
What's the difference between universal boot image patcher and lazy flasher ?
My aim is to simply root

FOR YOUR FIRST QUESTION: YES YOU CAN. I JUST TODAY UNLOCKED IN 8.0.2
2ND:YES YOU CAN SWITCH VIA UPDATER FROM STABLE TO DEVELOPER. BUT NOT SURE WHETHER CAN BE FROM STABLE LOLLIPOP TO DEVELOPER MARSHMALLOW. IT SHOULD WORK THOUGH,
3RD:YES YOU CAN SIMPLY FLASH SUPERSU.ZIP.... BUT UNLOCK BOOTLOADER VIA OFFICIAL WAY.ITS BETTER AND HASSELFREE FOR FUTURE.
4TH AND 5TH:I HAVENT USED UBP TILL NOW. ITS NOT THAT IMPORTANT. U CAN FLASH TWRP RECOVERY WITH LAZY FLASHER. WHEN YOU INSTALL MIUI VIA TWRP SIMPLY FLASH LAZY FLASHER AND SUPER SU AFTERWARDS. AND IT WILL WORK WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS.
http://en.miui.com/thread-283146-1-1.html for info..
if you unlock bootloader officially then there is twrp cofface. which automatically patches boot.img. So no need of lazy flasher too
Those are my experiences. may not be 100% correct.

which twrp Best for flashing cm like custom roms ? Do you use alka bro ? Can I flash cm like roms with alka ?
Should I take backup of Lollipop with alka in order to fix no sim/baseband type problems when returning to miui from cm roms or Will it work if I simply edl whatever rom it is that I want from cm13 ?

You can use any bro for flashing custom roms
but for miui flash modified cofface with lazy flasher (for unofficial unlock) and u can use twrp cofface for official unlock to flash miui
always take backup before doing anything
i have never faced no sim issues bro when returning from cm to miui
so i dont know about that case.
yeah you can edl too but its not needed that often.

U can download from en.miui.com in download section
No it wont get relock
But u shall flash lazy flasher or use twrp cofface (for official)
I am saying these according to my experience
I unlocked unofficially 2 mnths ago
And flashed various custom as well as miui rom
And today i checked bootloader was still unlocked
But i guess there are some very few custom roms which relocks bootloader ( i forgot though)
But after you once flas twrp in ur phone though BL gets locked u still can flash miui zip custom rom, kernel anything via twrp so no issues
Based on my experience lol ????????????????
Official unlock is only successful for lucky ones
A lot of people have reported about the 50% error for which xiaomi's server are responsible
As far as unofficial unlock is concerned I don't know about which ones the safest and easiest method for 8.0.2.0
And is it possible to revert to miui if there is no earlier backup ?
From my experience.
When I got my hand on RN3, I update it to latest update, which is MIUI 8, stable version (Android 5).
Then try to unlock bootloader to flash custom rom. This is where my journey began.
Unlocking bootloader with Official method is not that hard.
- There is step by step guide from MIUI forum, although not everyone succeed with that method.
- My step:-
1. Apply permission from MIUI
2. Everyday login to MiUnlock Tool to see if I got permission already. (about two or three day of waiting)
3. Make sure Mi Account > Personal Info is same as MIUI Forum Account > Personal Info.
4. After that, I flash RN3 Fastboot Developer Rom (Android 6) with EDL, not with Fastboot using XiaomiFlashTool.
5. Once success flashing, setup phone like you going to use it, set MI Account and everything. Then reboot to fastboot.
6. Open MiUnlockTool and connect phone, and begin unlocking bootloader, and I got it success in no time.
My step to go back to MIUI (Stock Rom):-
1. Using RN3 Fastboot Developer Rom (Android 6), this one with bootloader locked.
2. Reboot phone to Fastboot mode, using XiaomiFlashTool to flash Stock Rom.
3. After that, setup as it is. Reboot again to Fastboot mode, and use MiUnlockTool to unlock again.
** Well that's for my experience. With such a hard and long journey.

Hi all. My RN3 is currently on global stable MIUI 8.0.6.0 which os LL based. I want to switch over to Global beta which is MM.
I dont want to use MiFlash as I bricked my device twice earlier flashing the MM file.
Can I flash the MM recovery zip through TWRP? Should I use Alka Twrp to flash and do I need to do anything else after that? Can anyone please help me with exact steps to get MM global beta through TWRP?
Go to xiaomi.eu and get a zip that Global MM modified (only remove bloatware I think) and flash it via TWRP.
MiFlash actually rescue me from a soft-brick one week ago. MiFlash shouldn't brick your device if you doing it right.
MiFlash works perfectly with Global Stable, I don't know about Global Dev, but I have a solution if you want a official way to go Global Dev.
I will assume you are not flash any custom recovery yet, and still at stock recovery. And no bootloader unlock needed.
Flash Global Stable via MiFlash and update Global Dev via stock recovery with recovery zip.
I do it once when I go from MIUI 7 Stable to MIUI 8 Beta few months ago, and it works very well.
dev roms should b flashed with custom recovery bro..
I have nothing against MiFlash but my PC USB ports seems to be having a problem when I flash using MiFlash and it stops midway with some read error..I had that problem twice..
So I am always using Alka TWRP for flashing CM 14.1 builds from LL directly. Wanted to check if I can do that with MIUI 8 Global Dev too using their recovery zip file. Heard it causes bootloops. Please detail the steps of flashing through TWRP. Thats the safest for me

When you go from miui lp to miui mm , your bootloader will be relocked and you have to unlock it again and flash twrp.
Actually, TWRP remains, you only need to unlock it with MiUnlock in fastboot mode. And then you can go to twrp or system. Because BL is locked it causes bootloop

I tried to unlock my bootloader via
Miunlock tool.. I got my device permission through sms on 19november
from unlock mi team,
After that I m trying to unlock my device, But it's stuck at 50% (Another
account ), It's already 8days over, Still I m not able to unlock my
bootloader officially,
So if I unlocked my bootloader by fastboot miflash unofficially method,
- My Mi protection and
- My device ll void warranty??
What would be the cons if I unlocked unofficially..
You need to boot in EDL mode and then flash with MiFlash china/global dev fastboot ROM. For that you dont need to unlock BL. Then you will be able to unlock it on dev ROM.
I had exact same problem

I dont want to install custom rom now urgently later i will see,
So now i want to Backup my MIUI 8.0.6.0 Stable rom for future.. i m satisified with my stable rom..
Now if i am going to install official twrp recovery, any problem to get future OTA updates, Can i upgraded to future MIUI stable roms after installed twrp??
No you cant upgrade OTA if you have official TWRP.
It only works with ZCX TWRP, I suggest flash zcx, backup all partitions to microSD and then happy flashing.

Install adb and fastboot drivers .
Download orange fox recovery (place it on desktop ) https://drive.google.com/file/d/14pEu6xx0eg14uGbsf9tXCdu8LVz4z7iP/view?usp=drivesdk
Open CMD and enter into fastboot mode
In CMD type - fastboot flash recovery filelocation
For making it easy instead of putting file location , just drag the recovery file into CMD it will automatically write location .
Now simply boot into recovery by pressing volume up+ power or type fastboot boot filelocation .
Just do everything as mentioned there will be no problem , make nandroid backup asap .
What is Magisk? Thank you for the help. I'll be sure to post again if I encounter any problems.
What is a Nandroid backup?

It's a backup of your system
Before flashing anything in the custom.recovery, I recommend making a fully working ROM backup,
So you'll need to click backup in the recovery and tick
BOOT
DATA
SYSTEM
also, make a SEPARATE backup of the EFS this is very important.

Just an advise.
I think you should not try any of this mods before you study deeply the effects and the risks of it. You are so newbie that you can brick your device if you make any mistake performing the operations.
I have a Redmi note 5 AI 6/64 gb variant. After purchasing my device i have unlockd the bootloader and flash global stable rom but i can't relock the bootloader. my previous rom was MIUI 9.5.21.0 China and my current rom is MIUI 9.5.17.0. If i relock the bootloader phone boot into recovery mode and shows "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device". If i unlocked the bootloader again then phone reboot into OS. As per my findings from MIUI 9.5.6.0 bootloader can't be locked after flashing global rom on Chinese device. Its a bug from xiaomi. So my question is
1. If i flash my device into 9.2.7.0 can i relock my bootloader again and can perform OTA update?
2. I have got an OTA update MIUI 9.6.3.0. If i update my device will it get bricked? If i can update my device via OTA update will it relock my bootloader automatically? Or do I have to flash it manually?

Make sure u come from latest miui 10 stable
If u unlocked boot loader unofficially and zcx
then first replace ur zcx twrp with latest twrp. Then u can flash custom roms and gapps.
U dont need any firmware Before flashing custom roms.
Just format data
Wipe data reset
Flash rom and gapps.
Reboot.
If u try to flash those 50mb size miui firmware zip using twrp then u will brick ur phone coz u r unofficially unlocked. So get rid of that firmware fever from ur head. U dont need any.
In case if u feel like going again back to miui global rom then put ur phone in EDL mode and flash kate fastboot global rom using computer and miflashtool.

Better use official TWRP, Orangefox or Redwolf recovery
No need to flash firmware as you're already on MIUI 10.2
Just wipe system, data, also format data & proceed to flash the rom

I had softbricked? my phone. Went through the process of installing the MIUI 10 fastboot rom but it required activation which I can't do as I forgot my login details (i bought this phone years ago)
Yesterday I managed to unlock unofficially using this method
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66379587&postcount=3
Didn't install 7.1.8, just 7.2.5, followed the instructions, was able to enable oem-unlock and usb debugging, confirmed bootloader was unlocked
Flashed the latest twrp, tried zwcx, lastly tried the latest orangefox
Tried flashing AOSPextended nougat and viper os nougat with various recoveries but they were stuck at the logo for the corresponding roms
I am not sure...do I have to do anything with that boot.img patcher? And if so, when would I flash it?
Went through the same steps again. Same result. All roms get stuck on the custom boot animation
edit:nevermind, flashed that unlocked bootloader rn3_unlockonly in miflash and it booted up

There is an updated guide to unlock unofficially on MIUI 9 with new bootloader.
The problem was you unlocked on older version of MIUI.
To recover password try to visit mi cloud & check if you can do something or forget & use custom roms as there's nothing good about MIUI.

I tried to flash modified boot file for marshmallow when booted it asked for password my question is if I flash boot file again then flash twrp and boot to it I can wipe and flash any ROM right (except MIUI of course)?

You already have the bootloader unlocked right so proceed to flash TWRP with fastboot commands

It was unlocked but I flashed MIUI so it is locked now although I didn't choose clear all and lock option from miui tool ...so if I want to unlock it all I have to do is flash modified marshmallow boot file then flash official twrp boot to it format data and wipe then flash any rom I want ?

After u unoificially unlock.
Replace zcx twrp with latest twrp.
Then flash rom and gapps.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FLASH MIUI ROM OR MIUI FIRMWARE USING TWRP. U WILL BRICK OR BOOTLOOP.
ONLY CUSTOM ROMS ARE ALLOWED.
