i can not adb fastboot system.img.error : can't load system.img

I must come back B205.
Here is my solution :
- I flash B122 stock with Gapps via TWRP ( I removed Super forder )
- reboot bootloader - > flash Huawei recovery -> reboot
- I have about 2 mintute to use the phone till it reboots automatic. I updated B205 via Updater app. The phone updated, have error messaging.But when the phone rebooted, It is on B205 and has google play ( is system application )
Now my phone is working well with B205

Ok,have fun with B205

T.T i think that we are in the same boat...
i have installed B205 and downgraded for a few hour, my X2 has rebooted after boot, lock-screen in B112...
i tried commands in fastboot flash, rom flashing using twrp recovery. but all the things didn't work on X2...
but in my case, X2 always rebooted when i visit a setting menu in android to upgrade B205...
what should i do? i cannot do anything on this situation.
the things working correctly are twrp recovery and fastboot.

my solution at #6

When factory reset, we have more times to use the phone.So we have enough time to update B205 via updater app.Here is my solution :
- Download B112 zip rom at http://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-x2/development/rom-stock-b106-gapps-t3230585
then delete "Supersu" folder ==> we have Stock rom B122 without root.
- Download B205
- Flash TWRP.
Copy B112 zip to Internal storage ( anywhere )
Copy B205 ( update.zip ) to /dload
- Wipe system, data, cache, davikcache. Then flash B112.zip
- Don't reboot system. Reboot to bootloader -> flash Huawei recovery.
- Now reboot system.At the first boot, we have enough time to update B205 via updater app.
In my case, while update B205 have the messaging update fail.But when the phone boot, it's on B205 and everything working well.
Sorry for my poor english.Hope you can understand !

thanks for your quote. i just have solved all the things by installing B205.
my X2 didn't show any splash screen like huawei logo. it only showed just a white screen. i was shocked about it.....
i was thinking that now it was turned to a brick firmly ....
a moment while it turned on nomarlly, i did all sequences in order to upgrade from B112 to B205 ....
it just rebooted if i did slowly, then i could do all procedures what you said...
well... now i am using my X2 normally on marshmellow... i have to be used it.
thanks cvncbn.

Stuck on Huawei Mediapad Logo

Hi
my mediapad x2 was rooted and all was fine, then I had to format it and give to a friend.
So i did a wipe cache and everything from recovery , and after that my phone is stuck
When I start it stuck on first huawei logo and doesnt go forward.
I can enter just the "fastboot&rescue mode" but PC doesnt recognize it, not even Hi suit.
anything to fix it ?
thanks

Are you on Twrp and format System?
then it is clear that it will not start,if it is so, then install a Rom
Which Version LP or MM?

I think audioralf can help you,he has an 701L
maybe that helps but I would ask audioralf
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-x2/general/how-to-flash-rom-gem-701-702-703-t3293795

I found my order list of amazon and I bought the 703
I can log into Twrp
any link to file to install that work ?
thanks

which version on it,Android 5.1.1 or 6.0?
on 5.1.1,
Download B112 and Copy in SD Card in dload Folder.
Extract the UPDATE.APP with Huawei Extractor and extract System.img,Boot.img,Cache.img,Recovery.img and Cust.img and flash all the img Files with Fastboot.
Power off the Device and Press Volume+ and- and Power Button at same Time to boot in Recovery,this flash the UPDATE.APP
wait to finish and you have 5.1.1 on it

or Download this Backup B112 unpack it,Copy in Sd Card TWRP/BACKUPS/N7MXXXXXXX/B112_Backup
(But only the win,info and win000 and win001 files in the last Folder)

Mate 8 Soft-brick - Any Advice?

Hi all:
I enjoyed KangVIP 386 for a couple of days and decided I wanted to fix the fingerprint sensor and i used the instructions below. Then, when I booted and tried to go back into TWRP to flash Kang VIP, my TWRP was read-only and it didn't read my internal storage. It was completely wiped and I couldn't flash the ROM. And the OS it booted into was some DL 380 version and nothing would open, no apps or chrome so it's not usable.
I tried Unbrick method via Italian knife, but it didn't work and now I can only get in the Your Device is Rebooting menu and it sticks there, or i can get into the eRecovery menu (download latest version and recovery) - but nothing works. Can't get into TWRP or boot.
Any tips?????
Thanks!
TRIED THIS ON l29 b386 kANG:
This build B386 finger print dont working? Please i flash yesterday un L29 and dont see option please help
1) Download the following:
https://basketbuild.com/filedl/devs?...e 8/boot.img
https://basketbuild.com/filedl/devs?...e 8/TWRP.img
https://basketbuild.com/filedl/devs?...208/update.zip
2) Boot into recovery and flash update.zip BUT DO NOT REBOOT
3) Afterwards back out of the install completed screen and switch TWRP to flash images in the bottom right
4) Flash boot.img to the Boot partition and TWRP.img to the Recovery partition
5) Reboot. Can take some time to finish booting, that's normal.
6) Boot back into TWRP and flash the ROM.

OK, I think I had the wrong TWRP image in the Unbrick folder for the Italian Knife unbrick function. I copied the TWRP 4.1 in there, re-did Italian Knife unbrick, then was able to get into TWRP and flashed Kang VIP. I am back in business. AND I have fingerprint working!
Man, this phone is NEUROTIC!! I'm not modding this anymore! This will be a #2 device and then I'll pick up a Pixel or something else to upgrade from my Nexus 6.

Something went wrong here. You can run 'adb logcat' to see the crash details while starting.

If you have a backup on twrp then restore to get phone working. You may need to flash the public and hw-data zips afterwards though.
If you don't have a backup then you could try flashing the C636 off line firmware and then use firmware finder to go back to your original firmware
Sent from my MHA-L09 using XDA-Developers Legacy app

you may just flash the modified recovery ( See Guide subforum ) ) to bypass the update certification and authorization and reflash an original firmware. your stored files will be lost anyway in most cases.
I would bet superuser ( shield ) and SuperSU ( Aurom) messed your boot image. Both are incompatible to each other and, afaik both are incompatible to twrp 3.1.
Flash TWRP 3.0.2.2, reboot to recovery again to change version, flash the rom ( f.e. shield rom), boot once up, reboot to recovery and THEN you may flash twrp 3.1

Thanks all of you guys, I've solved the problem, it seems that's something related to the sd card, I've formated the sd and transfer the files trough another phone and then put the sd on the mate 9, I follow the steps as followed before and works successfully, now I'm on AurRom and 182 firmware.

Ultimate guide to install stable or Dev rom from Xiaomi.eu

Hello everyone,
First of all, rom and recovery are not from me... I just want to make a full guide to help you
So let's go !!!!!
1 step: unlock bootloader
https://en.miui.com/unlock/
BE CAREFUL unlocking your bootloader will erase all your data (internal storage) so don't forget to make a backup
2 step: flash twrp recovery
Download the recovery image from here
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-1CSfT4lQwFZngu6RI9eowLA9CmEMEPw/view?usp=drivesdk
Be sure to have adb and fastboot tools on your computer ... If not take a look at here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
Past TWRP_umi.img on minimal adb and fastboot directory.
Open a cmd here.
Enable usb debugging on your device
Reboot your phone on bootloader (hold volume down + power), connect it to PC and tape:
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery TWRP_umi.img
Then tape fastboot reboot while holding volume up button on your devices to reboot in recovery
3 step:
At the first launch of Twrp You have to choose SWIPE TO ALLOW MODIFICATION
4 step:
THIS ONE OF THE MUST IMPORTANT STEP
In twrp menu you have to go in Wipe data on choose format data
Otherwise the ROM will not boot.
5 step:
Reboot into recovery from twrp.
6 step:
Connect your phone to your PC and paste the xiaomi.eu ROM of your choice (stable or Dev)
7 step:
Flash ROM from recovery
8 step:
REBOOT AND ENJOY :good::good::good:

Does Xiaomi EU Rom run either on encrypted and unencrypted storage?

I cant get this to work, ive been trying everything for hours. I am sure i am missing something stupid but if anyone has any new ideas please let me know. I unlocked my device today, flashed twrp via fastboot, rebooted to recovery, formatted data then went on to install xiaomi eu rom. Ever since trying this, i am constantly booting into recovery or hitting a boot loop. i have formatted data more times than i care to think of ha ha. ive tried flashing the latest fastboot rom via mi unlock tool to do a fresh start but keep getting ''flash crclist error". Ive also tried flashing miui stock via twrp and it also, doesn't boot. ive tried many combinations in between. My next option is to try the fastboot global rom (though i believe i have a chinese device), i am waiting for it to download. If anyone knows what i am doing wrong i will be eternally grateful if you can tell me what it is. I'm so frustrated, been flashing roms for years, never had anything take as long as this :crying:

I have followed the tutorials to perfection like 2-3 times and I still face the same issue
I always go back to TWRP after trying to boot into system.
I have tried 2 different recovery files
The experimental one asks for a password. and the other one works but keeps going back to recovery after flashing.
MIUI 11 rom
MIUI 12 rom
No matter what I do It keeps going back to recovery.
It's my only device so I truly need help.
I have tried re installing everything already.
At this point I just want to install stock rom and keep using it without flashing anything please help.
PHONE FINALLY REBOOTING INTO SYSTEM. I myself don't know what i did!!!

Bootloop (stuck on 5G logo) after flashing Xiaomi.eu ROM
Dear fellow XDA-dev community members,
Xiaomi Mi 10 (umi), coming from original stock ROM, MIUI 11 GLOBAL version V11.0.2.0.QJBMIXM.
Bootloader unlocked official way via MiFlash Unlock 4.5.514.47.
Custom recovery TWRP 3.4.1b-0313 installed via XiaoMiTool V2.
Tested root by installing Magisk 20.3 via TWRP, no problem, then updating to Magisk 20.4 with the Magisk Manager 7.5.1.
The problems started when I tried to install Xiaomi.eu Custom ROM : xiaomi.eu_multi_MI10_V11.0.25.0.QJBCNXM_v11-10
Downloaded the Xiaomi.eu ROM to PC, then copied to the Download folder of the Phone.
Started phone in upload mode or TWRP. > Wipe > Swipe to Factory Reset + Format Data.
When formatting data I erase all folders in the phone, including the Xiaomi.eu ROM copied in the Download folder.
Some tutorials suggest to copy the Xiaomi.eu ROM from PC to phone after formatting the data, just by connecting the phone in TWRP to the PC, by going to > Mount and enabling MTP.
Tried this method but when I send the Xiaomi.eu ROM file to the phone the progress bas doesn’t move.
So I restarted the phone, without installing the Custom ROM, went through all the screens of initial phone configuration. Lost Magisk and root (but I supposed that it’s not mandatory to install Custom ROM). Copied again the Xiaomi.eu ROM zip file to the Download folder. Rebooted to TWRP. This time I just did Factory Reset but without Format Data. Then > Install to install the Xiaomi.eu new ROM. Cleared Dalvik Cache then reboot.
PROBLEM : bootloop. Stuck with the 5G logo forever, waited more than 30 min, no change.
Still have access to recovery TWRP and to bootloader mode. I suppose this is a soft brick?
I did > Wipe, Swipe to Factory Reset + Format Data, restarted… no change.
Copied this time the Xiaomi.eu ROM to a clean formatted (FAT32) USB drive. As shown in some tutorials, you can us an external USB drive via USB OTG to install the Custom ROM via TWRP.
Factory Reset + Format Data, then I installed again the same Xiaomi.eu ROM from the external USB. Still stuck in bootloop.
Please I need help to fix the problem
I’m not an expert developer, but I’m not a complete noob either.
This is the first time I have troubles with a brand new Xiaomi Phone.
It’s the first time I get a very expensive phone, but had no choice (they are getting very expensive), because I always buy a Flagship Xiaomi to get all the community support possible.
And I had to change the ROM to Xiaomi.eu, because the Official Global ROM is full of bloatware I had a good experience with Xiaomi.eu ROMs with my old Xiaomi Mi 4 and Mi 5.
At this point I don’t mind going back to stock MIUI Global ROM.
I suppose that with access to boot loader I can flash the Official ROM from PC with MiFlash2020-3-14-0? If it’s the case can somebody show me detailed steps to do that?
For Mi 10 Official Global there is the Stable Full ROM (miui_UMIGlobal_V11.0.2.0.QJBMIXM_4f986c08cb_10.0 ) (2.45 GB) and Stable ROM (umi_global_images_V11.0.2.0.QJBMIXM_20200328.0000.00_10.0_global_09b168ff9e) (3.76 GB). Which One to flash from PC with MiFlash?
I can’t afford to hard brick the device
Thank you very much.

Hello,
i have a silly question about step 4:
someone says we should "Wipe Data", someone says we should "Format Data" ,
i don't see a real difference unless we want to change the filesystem type.
Advices ?
And also, when we format ( or wipe ) the "Data" partition, are we formatting the 256 GB partition ?
if yes, this is a really huge drawback for us who want to change ROM more frequently than other android users, because we have to backup a 256 GB partition ...
This is not fast to do online ( at least with my poor connection ) and it is not fast to do on PC or on a USB KEY.
So we have 256 GB and we need to format at each ROM change ? Too bad ...
In the good old times i did extract my microSD card and i was safe .
Someone could explain me please ?
thank you all for your patience...

Hello,
You have to format data the first time you flash xiaomi.eu rom because their rom is base on Chinese firmware (if you don't or just wipe it will not boot)
Each time you will flash a rom with different base (from Chinese base to global base or global to Chinese) you will have to format data !!

You format data to remove encryption.

Google pay isn't working as the safety net doesn't pass on stable realeses, someone made it to work on betas but I had no luck though

Stuck without solutions
Hello,
I tried to flash the latest miui 12. I followed all the steps...
But now I can't acess recovery nor rom.
Basically when i try to flash TWRP with bootloader it just goes back to fastboot.
Also note that the flash is successful. But I somehow can't acess TWRP, just goes back to fastboot
And when I flash the experimental TWRP on the dev thread it boots to recovery but asks for a password.. Impossible to flash anything.. Even after I formated data and everything
I tried flashing other TWRP I found but nothing boots even after trying a lot of time.
I tried <fastboot boot recovery.img> as well
I tried <fastboot erase recovery> and then flash the TWRP as well
I've been trying hard for the last 8 hours.
I also have a backup of when I had MIUI 12. But impossible to flash it with the only recovery I can boot to.
I feel so desperate. I'm out of ideas.
If you have any ideas, I'm listening
Thanks for the help guys.
