So I stayed up WAY too late last night trying to figure this out so I figured I'd see if anyone here can help. I apologize in advance if this is the wrong section.
I recently bought a Xiaomi Mi4 here in China and I am not a fan of the Xiui OS it has on it. So I began trying to install CWM on it to get things going but no matter what I do, it fails with a different error for each method.
Using the Updater app doesn't work because I do not get the menu to browse for my zip.
Fastboot method says "recovery not support flash".
Rashr says "Partition Failed".
MobileUncle looks like it works but when you reboot CWM isn't there.
I dug into my device and I think I am supposed to have a /recover partition? But I do not see one.
Any help is appreciated. I'm willing to try anything.

I have been searching for answer over 10 days, but still can't figure out how to resolve this. I don't how exactly it bricked, it just couldn't start anymore. I can get into recovery menu, but there isn't any option to recover android. It was rooted before, and worked normally. I cant find any other way to flash any rom on it. I appreciate any help on this matter, tnx in advance!

Hello, and welcome to XDA Assist!
Please register for an account so you can post to the rest oif the site. The [Ask Any Question][Newbie Friendly] thread of the > Android Development and Hacking > Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting will provide a good start to resolve your issue.
What seems confusing is that there may be some Arnova's made by Archos. Archos has a forum, but sadly, Arnova does not (not finding much about your device either).
At any rate, try the thread/forum above, and be patient with regard to a response. This seems to be a rare device, so it would be harder to get the attention you need.
Hope this helps, and good luck!
The other way
I understood that the complete system is wiped out. I can use adb while its in recovery menu. I used it to transfer official system image onto it, but in its options i cant find it. I transferred it to multiple locations, all of them can be seen in recovery menu but all are empty. I wonder if there is a way to flash some other android version on it? Or some ROM like CWM, but apparently there are no official releases. And since i am not very good at this i wonder how to make sure that kernel is OK? Can such thing be done? It has Android system recovery <3e>

CWM is a recovery, not a ROM, but can be used to flash ROMs.
With 3e, you should be able to flash the stock ROM for the device via adb (called side loading). So that may work for you.
Hope this helps.

Hi, and thank you for using XDA Assist!
I'm interested in what you mean by "crushed." Sounds like something physical was done to it.
At any rate, unfortunately, we currently do not have a forum (or a tag) for your device. but there is a general-purpose thread. Please go ahead and register for an account, so you can post i other forums. From there, you will probably have best luck with the foll.owing thread:

Yeah, it sounds like the internal memory got borked, and without adb your options are quite limited.
As mentioned before, I would explain your predicament in the above thread (I see you have posted there already, can just edit the post to add the predicament). There won't be much of an audience, but it is better than the general help thread (and you have the advantage of bouncing ideas off someone who has the same device as you).
Hope this helps.
Thank you.

Not sure about the checksum compare fail (sometimes backups are specific to the serial number of the device), but here is info on adb:

ok, Thanks for the replay. To be specific I need a custom rom for my samsung (SM-G920R4) because I need to flush using Twrp 2.8.7.0 but I could not find a custom rom for my specific rom. What happened was my I just bought my phone from a dude who I met on sell and buy viber group here in Ethiopia (big mistake I know) and it worked fine for a day or so and then I logged my google account. After that my phone run out of battery so I plugged it and turn my phone on and when I did this I got frp locked it just bootloops showing me "custom binary blocked by frp lock". I took it to some phone fix guy and he managed to turn the frp lock off but it need to be flush he and also I tried to flush it using stock firmware with odin but that didn't work so I saw on xda thread that some guy was able to fix the same issue as me by using custom rom here is the link to that thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/help-sw-rev-check-fail-device-3-binary-2-t3218678
But, I could not find a custom rom for my samsung model number SM-G920R4 us cellular, So I am begging this community of developers to save my phone if they have a custom rom for my model number? I am student and I can't offered to buy a new phone. Please help. Thanks for taking the time and reading this.
No problem. This should be perfect for a development member to pick up and assist.

bump. I mean, help? Same issue.
If the issue is you need a custom rom for that variant the op has then unfortunately you're out of luck, no one develops for that variant sadly.
Samsung Galaxy S6 Phone Boot Issue
Hi,
I'm new to XDA developers and pretty much a noob in Android related stuff, I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 with TWRP installed. Last week it went into a bootloop or something and wouldn't go past the "Samsung" screen. I wiped the caches but it didn't work, did a Factory reset but no good either, then used ODIN to install a Custom ROM in it but ODIN gave errors and that didn't work either. Basically, there was an error displayed in TWRP "No OS Installed. Are you sure you want to reboot?" I tried solving this following a Youtube tutorial. The guy flashed a Cyanogenmod in his phone using TWRP, I tried doing the same but TWRP gave an error " could not find meta-inf/com/google/android/update-binary in the ZIP file" . I extracted that file on my PC and it had only an md5 file in it"
Well I've been searching the internet a lot but haven't been able to find any S6 (920-F) Custom ROM which has a ZIP file that contains The META-INF folder (I'm not sure what it does) but I'll be really grateful if someone sends me a download link for it.
Or if there's some other solution for a problem then please help me out.
Thanks
Hi,
I'm a relative newcomer to android, and I just got a new phone, a Lenovo A616, which is a decent super-budget option.
I would like to install Cynanogen Mod on it, however I'm facing a bit of trouble.
I've managed to root my device, however after that I'm at a loss of how to procede. I tried booting into recovery mode and installing a .zip file, but there was no "install or install .zip from sd card" option, so I tried to install a custom recovery, but had no luck (TWRP manager was useless, no other ideas).
So can someone help me? I'm not an idiot when it comes to IT, I used Arch Linux on all of my other devices, but I'm sorry to say I'm at a loss here.
Some help would be much appreciated
Thanks,

I will try my best to help you but am not that familiar with your device. Do you know if your phone was originally AAP_GEN1 or la_gen1 before you updated it ? It may be something as simple as renaming the package to z500_aap_gen1
