The picture isnt showing....
But ur recovery may need to be updated.
Can u flash one of ur backups?
If so, boot up and update ur recovery.
Then just make sure u have correct ROM version for ur phone.
I hope that helps.

There I fixed the picture, but no I cant flash any of my backups because I deleted them for some reason some earlier backup was not working and the second one I delete it by accident. And the roms form my cell I have been getting the right ones from nexusshacks.com and cyanogen website. I was thinking in something more like pushing the rom thru a computers comand prompt thast my next step.

I found some tutorial in order to push the rom with command prompt but it's not working neither. does any of you know why not or if I'm doing something wrong here the link of the tutorial and at the end I posted whats what the command prompt came up with. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667929

Do you consider updating your recovery and rom?

My next step will be using the odin called tool for restoring everything. I'll let you know how it goes.

You would be better off reading and understanding the basics before messing with stuff you don't understand .

I can't find any boot.sig and recovery.sig, only find .img files with the M package. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Manually flash each IMG as opposed to using the flash-all.bat (others have had this same issue)

No, what I'm saying is DON'T use the flash-all.bat script as that's causing the issue. You have to extract the ZIP file and manually flash each IMG file one at a time, e.g.
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot-reboot bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot-reboot bootloader
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot-reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot-reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot-reboot bootloader
etc, etc, etc.

Maybe you shouldn't be flashing a developer preview if you don't know what you're doing?

It happens to me some times regardless of the android version, if I use the computer front ports. It's always better to use the ones directly on the motherboard.
the *.sig thing always appear but I also recommend you to avoid the .bat file and do it manually.

Issues with Image
Hi folks, I know what i'm doing, so I flashed the images and it all worked...BUT some major things are missing. I cant drop down the notification drawer (nor do I get any notifications) Also, nothing Google syncs. I tried manually syncing/logging out and logging back in and nothing seems to work, so 1) Suggestions? 2) Is there a dedicated forum for this? I cant seem to find anything online. I also tried flashing it again and to no avail.
Help me XDA, you're my only hope to not going mad on my phone.

Do a clean flash. You didn't if the notification drop down doesnt work

how can i fix it ?

Probably bad flash/ota. Happened too me as well. I had to reset to stock and reflash via Odin. Make full backup of your device, then try to get back to stock.

can you please describe little bit more ...
you mean i could wipe data with twrp recovery mode ?
or should use odin to install the same firmware again or what ?

What? No. Didn't say anywhere to root. Get to bootloader, use odin and flash original samsung system.

How to make full backup of the device if u arent rooted??

Don't root and fiddle around if you don't know what your doing. Or at least get enough information about what your doing before doing it.

this happened to me after flashing stock FW with odin and then flashing custom recovery without first letting the phone to boot.
After flashing CSC, the phone needs to go to revocery and finish the flashing process (copy CSC files to system). If you flash custom rom, it might not be able to flash the zip and therefore you have no CSC and get weird settings.
I was able to flash the zip with custom recovery by remounting system as read-write first.

How To Guide Persist Issue's! (Quick Guide)

Hello, Before we get started this is a quick TLDR guide and you do this at your own risk, If you DM me and your phone doesn't work I will laugh myself to sleep. (This shoulden't do that unless your stupid!).
If you have issues such as sensors not working like Auto Rotate, Proximity, Auto Brightness, Etc (Use a sensor testing app to confirm) [Make sure your 100% sure it's not due to damage].
Then you need to flash the persist.img, Some how or at least in my experience its become corrupted, normally you would just flash via fastboot the stock files and you should be good to go but Xiaomi doesn't let you flash these because you should not ever have too. The last option was to use EDL but that seems complicated for a issue with some sensors.
Now thanks to a few guides on XDA (Can't find the right one or I would link it here) and some other Xiaomi user posts the quickest way is just to use a recovery to flash the img, now I've tried coping the backup persist partition (PersistBak) and it did not help me nor did using recovery to dd the image to the persist partition, but flashing via OrangeFox did the trick,
Messing with the persist partition is not recomended and may break stuff as its never ment to be tampered with so if you can't use pay anymore Don't blame me!
You do so at your own risk!
1. So Grab your firmware IE latest from your chosen region
2. Grab the extracted persist.img and load your recovery
3. Then select persist img and select it from storage (SD Card)
4. Make sure you pick flash to persist (On OrangeFox it was Persist_IMAGE for me)
5. Flash it and reboot
6. Check your sensors and they should be working!
Now you don't have to spend hours looking online your welcome!
Please thank the individuals that found this and not me I'm just a risk taker and have money to replace it if I Break it.

I believe I used the one from the Xiaomi Mi 8, I didn't know we had a vayu guide...

And when I looked for one online quoting XDA it never showed up.
