Hello ppl,
I have unlocked the bootloader of my RN3 snapdragon version officially and i flashed the offical twrp on my phone.
Then i did a complete backup of the rom and then installed CM 14.1 (Santosh's build)
When i installed the rom,it relocked the bootloader and the fastboot mode now shows cyanogen logo instead of the mi logo.
The TWRP is working fine and i tried out both CM13 as well as 14.1.
i was on the miui 8(5.1) build and i tried to restore the EFS file to enable VOLTE on CM14.1 but no VOLTE is working as it was V5.1
I now have to revert back to MIUI8(6.0).How do i proceed?.
*I will flash the global MIUI8 developer rom using the TWRP?
*Restore the backup that i had done earlier with with official TWRP?
*Boot into eld mode(Cyanogen fastboot mode) and then use MiFlash and flash global developer MIUI version.
Please Help me with this.Need to get the VOLTE working fast and get back to MIUI.
First of all let me tell you that volte is broken and fluctuating in miui8 MM builds. Even though there are fixes but then you have to compromise fp scanner. So in my opinion flash xiaomi.eu rom 6.8.11 based on 5.1.1. But as per experience I have seen volte working in santhosh build. Just dont flash any firmware. And to revert back to miui8 LP just wipe partitions and remeber dat official MM roms are encrypted. Dont go there. Happy flash.

Didnt you unlock bootloader? If not then unlock it using mi flash tool, and check out roms from xiaomi.eu site not from miui.com, official site produce ****ty roms. They mess up data partition with encryption. Check out 6.8.11 based on 5.1 where VoLte works fine.

I have locked bootloader.Is it fine if i just flash the zip file using twrp
MiUnlock is not detecting the phone to unlock the bootloader.
Sorry for too many questions.Litte bit new to RN3 .It was easy to flash and do stuff with my old OnePlus One.
::And ill download the stable or weekly
I think you might lose IMEI/EFS if you downgrade from CM 14.1 to lolipop MIUI? Someone more knowledgeable can confirm.

download weekly, miunlock is not detecting? Hmm then may be it is due to windows drivers. If you are using x64 bit OS then you should tweak driver signature enforcement in windows. which twrp u are using? Use a twrp where you can backup efs, modem and other important partitions. alka, zcx are best twrps.

if you use edl then it doesnt matter whether its unlocked or locked. But edl mode needs to wipe everything all data in int storage.
Whats the update? Did it went well? I mean through edl mode using MiFlash.

You need to be officially unlocked to flash MIUI with TWRP as far as I know. With zxc TWRP. Otherwise you won't boot. Unless I'm missing something.
If you dont have PC currently to unlock BL again which will happen with official miui roms and with multirom...
You can flash miui EU latest version, it doesnt lock BL...
SOLVED
so..I downloaded miui 7.1.12 global dev.recovery rom (becos i was on global dev rom while rooting and i saw sowhere dat we cant flash from dev to stable thru recovery..we hav to flsh thru fastboot)...installed zcx recovery and flashed global dev recovery rom....nw i can flash ota also
Hello,
I was using Nx Experience Rom along with Nx Radios. I decided to upgrade my device to 7.1.2. So, I flashed Cm firmware mentioned in the CM 14.1 thread along with Nitrogen OS rom, zip that removes the default Super su in NOS and at last SuperSu (by Chainfire) zip.
Now, i am unable to boot up my device. I press Power button. It vibrates and then it turns off,, only Mi logo is displayed that too for 2 -3 seconds. Can anyone help me ?
P.S I can only boot into fastboot mode now.
# I unlocked my bootloader officially.

Outdated bootloader, hmm. Yes, I think it's the problem as someon else also suggested to first upgrade to latest global stable ROM and then unlock. But how to do that? I googled it, but can't find any method. There's negative comments on every one of the threads. Help me out in this ?

Is there any way apart from official method?

Already tried that. Got permission in 3 hours. But miunlock gets error at 99 %. " Account not bound to this device, go to dev options -> mi status -> add account". Did that too, but gives 8612 and something in Chinese error.

Thanks. What I want to do is either update to latest RR ROM, or to revert back to miui because 25-04 Resurrection build is a lil bit buggy. And the problem while updating to latest build is it gets stuck on "get Resurrected" animation. Same goes for NitrogenOS. Currently, I'm on 25-04 RR build, and it's working okay-ish with some bugs. Now, on asking this stuck animation here on another thread, someone said to upgrade bootloader by unlocking in miui 8. But there's no unofficial way...
On which ROM did you unlock officially? Global stable or global dev or China ROM. Also provide the miui version. I will try to flash that ROM and re-unlock

Hello im on nougat RR. Also officially unlocked. How can i revert back to miui DEV MM ?
I am currently running MIUI 10 China Stable and have a locked bootloader, I would like to install the official China Developer ROM, does anybody know how I should install it correctly?
well according to the information on MIUI forums you need an unlocked bootloader for the fastboot flash method.
https://en.miui.com/thread-4765806-1-1.html
Can't use local update to go from stable<>developer and vice versa.
You can just download the recovery rom from MIUI forum and use the updater option "Choose update package" to change to developer ROM without needing to unlock bootloader. The tablet however will need to be wiped upon flashing the new ROM.
I don't think there are any..
https://en.miui.com/thread-4765806-1-1.html
This is the latest China development rom
Right but then why would they state
Note: China Stable users, please upgrade via fastboot mode.

I got to the developer ROM, but now I want to go back to the stable ROM and I don't know if I can because of anti rollback. The developer roms anti rollback status is 1, does anyone know what the stable roms is!
