Easy fix to fingerprint issue in Newer Xiaomi EU ROMs
This is how I got rid of this fingerprint problem.
1. First you need to flash Orangefox recovery for redmi 5 ( any custom recovery like twrp would work but I recommend Orangefox since I know it will work )
2. Then after entering recovery, click reboot then click recovery. If it don't reboot to recovery use the power button + volume up combo to re-enter recovery.
3. Go to wipe section and click format data. Type yes then enter.
4.Again reboot to recovery.
5. Wipe everything except internal storage and sdcard.
6. Reboot to recovery.
7. Flash xiaomi EU ROM v8.9.6 for redmi 5. Wait for flashing. Click wipe cache. No need to wipe data or anything.
8. Reboot system.
9. Complete the setup and add fingerprint.
10. Reboot to recovery and install any xiaomi EU ROM you want. But don't ever wipe data. Wiping data will wipe fingerprint data and you will get fingerprint error
11. Don't do anything extra just reboot system. Booting will take some time than usual. Its just for first time. Enjoy your new ROM with fingerprint and face lock and without bloat. :fingers-crossed:

On the 10. rom before start flashing the old 8.9.6?
Because the error occurs after flashing the rom but before it is completely installed (I don't arrive at the initial configuration of the phone because it resets first).

It worked!
Before installing the eu 8.9.6 rom I ran from recovery (twrp)
- factory reset
- format data
- wipe cache, dalvik cache, system and data
:good:

Phone keeps rebooting after shutdown

I've bought my Redmi Note 2 one month ago: everything worked fine for the first 3 weekes, but in the last few days one bug came out. Every time I power off the phone it keeps rebooting showing the boot logo (mi.com) for few seconds: I have to pull of the battery to normally power off the phone.
When the phone is one there are no problems: everuthing works fine, no reboot.
I've installed all the lates xiaomi.eu weekly rom (now I'm on 5.10.22) but the problem persists... I've also tried the official stable rom (miui 6 6.7.11) but nothing changed...
What can I do? Is it a software problem or maybe hardware?
Hi, it seems that during shutdown something goes wrong and the phone reboot (like bsod restart in Windows)
So this must be a software problem. Please flash TWRP recovery from Fastboot and reinstall latest ZIP from Xiaomi.eu
(Remember to wipe data - dalvik and also system first)
Good luck

thanks jack 21!
I've already installed twrp from fastboot and installed several zip from xiaomi.eu and en.miui.com but the shutdown-reboot bug persists...
do I have to install a rom from fastboot... or do I have to wipe something (boot.img..?) from fastboot?
You have to wipe system, dalvik, cache
Then reinstall the zip file
Please for now don't touch boot because we don't know what may happen

So.... installed twrp via fastboot; wiped everythin, installed latest xiaomi.eu zip; rebooted phone --> shutdown bug again..
p.s. even power off from recovery has the loop reboot bug..
Mmm don't know what to do in this case [emoji24]
I'll try installing other roms like smiui or AOSP... and if I don't find a solution maybe I'll send back my phone for assistance..

You can actually flash a custom rom, and then revert back to miui, this would take time, but is much more easy, and has less chances to permanently brick your device.

how to do it, i have already downloaded rr rom and cm 14.1
cutecrocodile said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
ok, so first of all what you need is the cm firmware and the rom file, and also gapps if u need.
this is the firmware file - https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634766008
Follow these steps -
1. Copy the firmware and rom file (and gapps if you have) to a place other than your phones internl storage like on an sd card or i you have a pc, then theres no problem, just leave the files on pc.
2. boot to twrp, here go to wipe and then select format data, here type yes and enter - this will wipe your internal storage. after that go back and wipe system, data, cache, dalvik.
3. now if you have a memory card inserted, with the rom files then skip this step, but if you do not,then connect your phone to pc using the data cable and copy the files to internal storage.
4. now firstly install the firmware,then the rom, and then any addons like gapps.
5. now reboot. you will boot to rr.
6. after booting, if you wish to install miui again, head to http://en.miui.com/download.html
and from there download the build you like, (choose redmi note 4x and there the global build)
7. now again boot to twrp, and format data, and wipe data, cache, system and dalvik. now copy the miui file, super su and the lazyflasher file.
8. install miui and lazyflasher, and reboot (it will say 'no os installed' but its fine, just reboot)
9. now after miui has booted, reboot to recovery, and install super su and lazyflasher, this should do it
thank you so much, i did it
super su should be installed first or lazy flash?

You have to clear dalvik/art cache after flashing supersu.zip and restart. It will boot loop one time and on second time the phone will successfully boot. Now flash lazyflasher and follow the steps again.

bootloop issue

hi i tryed to convert my redmi note 4x to global when flashing with mi flash tool i did it without clean and after that firmware finish installing but got stuck in bootloop now i flashed twrp and tryed to flash custom rom but again bootloop when i check my storage it shows 9gb now when its actual is 32gb i think i disturbed partitions any solution available?
Are you able to boot into TWRP?? If not flash TWRP first using fastboot.
Once you have access to TWRP boot into it and perform a full wipe (System + Data + Cache + Dalvik + Internal Storage). Perform a format too after wipe to be on the safer side. Now copy a custom ROM or MIUI ROM to your Internal Storage or SD card through a computer. Once copied install your ROM.
If you flashed custom ROM flash Gapps after flashing ROM. Reboot.
If you flashed MIUI, flash lazyflasher after that(or phone will be stuck at MI logo). Reboot.
You can find download links for lazyflasher here on XDA or you can google it too.

@ArK96 is right but the only thing i suggest is to, flash miui and lazyflasher first so as to properly set up the initial firmware, and partitioning. After miui boots properly, you can do anything you want. :highfive:

Go here and download the Global Stable worldwide release version firmware.
Boot into twrp wipe and format everything. Also after that reflash TWRP again using fastboot.
Once reflashed boot into TWRP and again perform a full wipe and format, then install the downloaded firmware zip. After that reboot TWRP and try flashing MIUI.

Yes. Red wolf is more MIUI friendly, it is made with OTA survival in mind. But your issue is that the ROM is not getting flashed. You can try what I said above about TWRP reflash, if it doesn't work you can go ahead and try redwolf. REDWOLF is nothing but modded TWRP, base code is still TWRP.

[SOLVED] My Mi9 Is bricked, need help because

Hello everyone,
Having a series of bug that I did not like, I tried to flash my mi9 with an older version of the EU rom.
Since, my phone reboots constantly on TWRP and if I go in the files of the SD card, it is big anything in it.
Basically my phone is bricked.
I need your help to get by because the only thing that starts is TWRP ..
Someone could he save me?
Based on ny previous experience with another Android devices, I think your Mi 9 is far from beying bricked. All you need is to flash a stock image through fastboot.

This steps can be applied for upgrading from P to Q too ?

Uhh yeah! You need to reboot to recovery to see if TWRP is still on there. Formatting means EVERYTHING gets yeeted out the back door. When you format data, always, and I mean ALWAYS reboot to recovery, and then you can flash your vendor image following your rom.
well, i flashed the android 10 version from "mi dot com/global/androidqbeta" , then i wanted to go back to the pixel experience rom and it didn't boot, it boot loped to twrp, so, I wiped all the partitions, and tried to flash the global version that came with the phone and it gives me the error "vendor error flashing" and then on another try after flashing the vender through twrp "system error flashing", then I formated all the partitions and then tried with the miflash tool version 2018-5-28, and it says device mismatch, but I am sure I have the mi 9 cepheus, 64gb 6gb ram, do i try flashing it with the European version ? i remember it came with the global version ...
[edit]
well, i solved it by making sure i had the same name on the folder that i had on the decompressed folder .. i've never encountered such an error
hope this helps someone ahah

Not fw you'll have to flash the whole rom.
You can flash any Android 10 MIUI ROM (Except Elite) . I used MIUI pulse in my case.
