So I have an Honor 8 FRD-L04 that I was trying to root today. I flashed TWRP and all was good. Until I tried to install SuperSU using TWRP. It said my data partition wasn't able to be found or something, I can't remember. So I did some quick Googling and tried some fixes (changing the partition format to FAT and back to EXT4, etc). This just screwed it up even more. So here's the scenario:
*Can't access ADB anymore, doesn't show up in devices
*Can access fastboot, however:
I usually get "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)" when I try to do any commands (bootloader is unlocked). Because of this, I can't flash extracted .IMG files.
*eRecovery tells me "Getting Package Info Failed"
*Don't have access to TWRP anymore
*Have tried multiple firmwares using the dload method, either they can't install or simply do nothing
*I've tried Huawei Multi Tool and got the following output:

This is really bad. The solution to your first problem was to simply remove encryption by formatting data.

I'm going to cover the basis here, as I've seriously screwed over my phone before but recovered.
If you managed to get the phone responsive with the rollback package try flashing the EMUI 4 package.
If that doesn't work, plug into the computer and press and hold the power and volume down buttons to get into fastboot: unlock oem if possible
let me know if that gets you started.

i was in a similar situation and this method worked! connect the phone to pc in switched off condition, press power+vol down and get into fastboot and then oem unlock, install twrp and tried to installed the zips.. worked and phone booted!!
If you're reading this, you must've messed up with your device or you don't want to use custom ROMs anymore and want to revert back to stock ROM.
Going back to stock ROM is not easy on Redmi Go as Xiaomi is not providing the right ROM files. The one (Version: V10.2.6.0.OCLMIXM) that is available on their ROM download site is not flashable on Mi Flash Tool or via fastboot. It will give you an error.
But, there is a way!
Follow the steps below and you can surely get back to stock ROM. (At least it worked for me every time)
CAUTION! Please proceed at your own risk. You are solely responsible for what you're doing. I will not be responsible for any kind of damage to your device.
Requirements
- Unlocked Bootloader
- Xiaomi USB drivers installed on your PC
- PC/TWRP
- microSD Card
- Minimal ADB & Fastboot (If using PC)
- V10.2.6.0.OCLMIXM ROM zip file (Download here
-V10.2.7.0.OCLMIXM (Download here
At first, unzip the V10.2.6.0.OCLMIXM zip file. You will find a folder named images. Open it and look for "recovery.img". Copy it to a safe place (you will need it later).
Then, copy the V10.2.7.0.OCLMIXM zip file to your sd card.
Steps, if you're using PC
1. Install Minimal ADB & Fastboot (Download here)
2. Copy the "recovery.img" file that you extracted earlier, to the directory where your "Minimal Adb & Fastboot" is installed.
3. Run "cmd-here" and type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
4. Turn on recovery mode on your device by pressing and holding Volume+ and power button together.
5. Once you see a "No command" screen, hold power button and press volume+ button and you should be on the recovery menu.
6. Select apply update from SD Card and locate the V10.2.7.0.OCLMIXM file.
7. Select "Yes"
8. Reboot system.
Steps, if you're using TWRP
1. Copy the "recovery.img" file that you extracted earlier, to your SD Card.
2. Boot TWRP
3. Select Install
4. Select Install Image
5. Locate the "recovery.img" file in your SD Card and install it.
6. Go back to main menu and reboot into recovery.
7. Once you see a "No command" screen, hold power button and press volume+ button and you should be on the recovery menu.
6. Select apply update from SD Card and locate the V10.2.7.0.OCLMIXM file.
7. Select "Yes"
8. Reboot system.
Your device should now be running clean stock ROM and recovery.
Don't forget to hit Thanks Button if you found this useful.
As I am writing here, Redmi Go doesn't yet have any official, nor nonofficial custom recovery that doesn't have major bugs. The easiest way to root Redmi Go, as I found, is to do it without custom recovery with Magisk, with adb and fastboot.
The problem I personally faced was that I installed the OTA updates, and in such case the stock rom's boot.img does not match with the new updated/altered rom that is installed through OTA update. So before patching stock boot.img with magisk, and flashing the patched boot.img, which is based on that stock rom, you have to have stock rom, instead of OTA updated one.
Before doing you probably have to also install xiaomi usb driver, and of course you have to unlock redmi go bootloader (as instructed here in xda forum in this redmi go section , - simply doing it by going to fastboot mode and typing a few words to cmd window through adb - meaning that can ignore any official long time-consuiming instructions that are actually obselete or doesn't work without possible bugs on the way for this particular device, as I tried).
Here are official stock roms: https://en.miui.com/download-365.html or search "go" here https://en.miui.com/download.html
This is the procedure (from official Magisk installation guide, source here https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html ):
Boot Image Patching
This is the “cool” way to install Magisk on your device. Either your device does not have proper custom recoveries, your device is using the A/B partition scheme and you don’t want to mix recovery and boot images together, or you have other concerns (e.g. OTA Installation), you should use this method instead.
In order to use this method, you are required to obtain a copy of the stock boot image, which can be found by extracting OEM provided factory images or extracting from OTA update zips. If you are unable to obtain one yourself, someone on the Internet might share it somewhere. The following instructions will guide you through the process after you have the copy of boot image.
Copy the boot image to your device
Download and install the latest Magisk Manager
Press Install → Install → Select and Patch a File, and select your stock boot image file
Magisk Manager will install Magisk to your boot image, and store it in [Internal Storage]/Download/magisk_patched.img
Copy the patched boot image from your device to your PC. If you can’t find it via MTP, you can pull the file with ADB:
adb pull /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched.img
Flash the patched boot image to your device and reboot. Here is the command if using fastboot on most devices:
fastboot flash boot /path/to/magisk_patched.img
-----------------
Here's some slightly longer guide: https://c.mi.com/thread-1444861-1-0.html
Here is if you want to know how to easily restore stock rom (like in case of flashing boot.img that doesn't match with the rest of the rom like I did getting stuck at booting up, or you simply don't have stock rom currently for whatever reason, like having already updated through OTA).
https://www.foldertips.com/en/unbrick-all-xiaomi-snapdragon/
And after installing XiaoMiFlash and before flashing, have to reboot computer as well which was not said in the above instruction.
I would have made separate thread on how to root Redmi Go, here in this forum section, as it is obviously most secure way to rooting Redmi Go (secure, as for using official/legit tools instead of potentially installing something shady somebody has altered in ways of unfavorable to you, as well as secure that it is not really possible to hard brick it even if not following instructions properly) but I don't have enough posts in this forum to make thread here in this section so whatever.
Actually tried an easier way:
Just download the tgz file from mi website tiare_global_images_V10.2.6.0.OCLMIXM_20190218.0000.00_8.1_66cc42a821.tgz

Hi, I have a doubt. My phone has the update of May 1, so I decided to do it root. Now unlock the bootloader, install twrp and flash magisk. the apps recognize me as root and everything is normal, so I did the right thing? or am I at risk of a problem? sorry for the question, what happens to understand your comment I had to translate in google and really only understood 80%, do not finish understanding why you had problems with your computer. could you help me? I already worry

I didn't use twrp at all.
I used Miflash instead of twrp as I told above, in order to restore previous state of the device.
If you did update, as one of the ways I see then, is to replace it with stock rom from which you are going to take the boot image from, to patch with magisk. Do no update. Root first. I have not updated so I don't know how the updating after rooting is going to work. No twrp needed if you just want root.

Thank you, this really saved me. A couple of days ago the hotspot stopped working properly after a security update (September 1, 2019). My computer would connect to my phone but it would say "No Internet, Secured". USB tethering also didn't work. I tried restoring to factory defaults, didn't help. So I figured I need to reflash it. The app used to unlock the bootloader didn't work, had to do it manually. The app used for flashing also didn't work, tried a manual approach - almost bricked the phone. Then I found this and it totally worked, thank you. PS: Now after the reflash it shows there's an update available with the size of 183,7MB. How safe is it to update this, since the original firmware(V10.2.9.0.ocleuxm) got screwed up by a security update?
edit: I have installed both updates 10.2.13.0.oclmixm and 10.2.14.0.oclmixm. It's working great. And locked the bootloader.

Glad to know that it helped you. And yes, you can update every time after restoring by using this method. It actually takes you to 100% stock condition.

The one I mentioned is targeted to take the phone back to the state it was in, after you purchased it.

Guys, download the Firmware from here. And if you have TWRP installed, just flash this. If TWRP is not installed, try using fastboot and boot to TWRP
