Mi 4i lost its Android OS - Xiaomi Mi 4i

Dear All,
My Mi 4i phone (model number 2015015) started to reboot frequently. I took it to showroom and he tried to fix it. He failed and handed over phone to me with no Android OS in it. I check and found, it is now only able to go to its stock recovery mode, MI-Recovery 2.0.1 and FASTBOOT mode. So I think, phone is still alive. How should I proceed next to flash either stock ROM or any other?
It has 16GB memory but no slot for SD card.
Kindly guide.
Sincerely,
Srinivas Nayak

Go to MIUI website and download the fastboot ROM. Download mi flash tool and install in windows and run it. Boot the mi4i in fastboot mode and connect to laptop. Wait till fastboot drivers are installed. The mi tool will show the device; if not then click refresh. Now select the fastboot ROM after you have extracted it to a folder. Click flash all and flash. It will automatically reboot after the ROM has been installed.

Dear hell1134,
Many thanks for your help.
Upon going there I see a lot of roms. Not sure which one to chose. Also from searches I got confused that boot loader image is also sometimes called as rom and sometimes to the recovery module. Is stock rom is a fastboot rom?
I would like to have a stable stock android rom, may be of version 5 or 6. Can you kindly point me to the correct android name or link?
I use Linux. Is it possible to use Linux to run mi flash tool?

For your question, stock rom is available in both recovery ROM and fastboot ROM but you need the fastboot one. Use the Mi Flash tool to flash this rom (google for instructions or videos).

Many thanks Nihhaar.

Since, I am a novice in Android world, this is a new learning from you.
Do Android OS binaries vary for method to method?
Or the same OS binary but packed differently?
I had read, fastboot uses*.img file but recovery demands *.zip file.
Is this choice about that only?

They are both different:
1) Fastboot packs your recovery, bootloader, modem, firmware and all other **** I don't know which should be flashed using Fastboot protocol.
2) Recovery rom packs only ROM which should be flashed in existing recovery.
What I told is not 100% perfect, because I even don't know exactly. This is just a overview.

Thanks Nihhaar.
Now got to see the difference...

Does anyone out there have a Gome U7 and knows how to root it?

I bought this phone in aliexpress and i'm pretty satisfied so far. Except by the fact that it's a totally obscure phone. You can't even find cases for it.
Anyway, the real problem is the lack of root methods. I tried all the root apks out there without success, and there is no known way to unlock the boot loader.
So, as a last effort, i'm trying to find someone that maybe managed to root this phone and could share the knowlege with us. Or at least find some other Gome U7 owners to share this frustation.
Thank you!

From the Aliexpress listing I found, this is MTK6757CD Android 7.1 Nougat. It shouldn't be so difficult to root.
Have you been able to backup / dump the firmware?
Yes, thats the model!.
About the backup, i don't tried it yet, but i supose i can via ADB comands.
The problem is that none of the root apks work, and i can't try to install a root script via the default recovery.
Holy fuc...king cow! I did it!
The dificulty of finding the files for this phone made this task much dificult than it shoul be, but anyway, for the possible people that come accros this thread, that's how i did it:
download the mtk drivers here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/jbxsq68g8dd4gk6/MTK_USB_All_v1.0.8.zip
download the stock rom here: https://cloud.mail.ru/public/8hMx/N7fqf8X62
Put the stock rom's boot.img on your phone;
Install the magisk apk, click install, and then use the patch boot.img function;
Select the boot.img from the stock rom;
After the patch, replace the patched version with the original version on the rom folder on your PC;
Use the SP flash tool to flash it.
And that's it!
I can't believe it took me four days to figure this out hahaha
Anyway, i hope it helps someone. Have a great day.
Edit: unfortunately the bootloader is still locked, so i can't flash magisk modules. Is there a way to use root privelege to unlock it?
@SkynyrdZ The Link you provided for the stock ROM is for USB drivers.
Possible to link to a western Gome U7 stock rom with playstore on?
Thank you

Is that the only stock ROM out there?
I know it's a chinese phone but it originally had western stock ROM when arrived - As in playstore was available on it. Chinese version is very stubborn in trying to install western apps - Playstore for one does not open when you install via alt options.

I didn't really flash it, i just used the bootloader file on it for the root process. My device came with the stock android rom, with gapps pre-installed.
But as far as i know, you can have play store on any android. Just make sure you install google play services alongside.

I didn't try it because it seens fake to me. Also, the bootloader on this phone is locked, so fastboot comands didn't work when i tried. The only way i could flash anything was with SPtool.
But there's a group out there called twrp builder that compiles the twrp recovery to a lot of devices. I'm trying to put the gome u7 on their queue, but right now, they are busy with a lot of builds.
TWRP recovery for root with magisk from 4PDA Forum.
and firmware. Gome_2017M27A_MT6757_V01 (U7_GM_00_V1.0)
And I found root guide from GOME U Series Forum. (Chinese) It is same as this website.

As you said the bootloader can not unlock why it need TWRP for?
The phone bootloader can lock and unlock as will.
Phone in fastboot mode: ADB command "fastboot oem unlock" then Push Vol+ on the phone to confirm unlock.
But I got the boot loop to TWRP every reboot after following steps to root the phone.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (twrp down load at https://unofficialtwrp.com/gome-u7-twrp-3-2-root/)
Boot to recovery ( this Twrp won't save the language which selected)
Format Data
Reboot to recovery again.
Install magisk
install No verity opt encrypt.zip.
wipe Caches/Davik...
reboot to system but it boot loop to recovery (twrp).
I have to reinstall original recovery.img and lock bootloader in order for my phone to boot normal again. After the phone boot up , install magisk.apk manager to get root.
Try to flash patched boot & twrp recovery image inside rar file with SP flash tool v5.1844.00.00 use their scatter file.
Wow, my device just could'nt comunicate with the adb via fastboot. I selcted the OEM unlock on the phone and inatalled the mtk drivers.
What i did wrong?
Also, you said that you had to install the stock recovery to the phone boot again, so you dont have twrp on the phone?

Thanks. It work great. It is so simple to make the phone root with TWRP. After flashing patched boot & twrp recovery image inside rar file then go to Recover mode, install Magisk and no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.

Note5 Pro Indian Version Stock ROM Not updating OTA, Says something went wrong

Hi All
I am on MIUI 10.3.1 Stock ROM and Recovery. I can download update, but when it is about to update, says something went wrong.
I tried to download the update zip file and tried to update using choose package, the same error.
I must tell you that in order to enable Camera2 API, I had installed TWRP_ZCX recovery temporarily and had flashed HAL3_Enable_MIUI_PIE a month before.
I am sure this error might have something to do with that recovery. Any help?
Will installing a stock recovery sort the error? If yes, where do I get it? But more importantly, will I lose all my data?
Download full recovery package and install

Hi Sunil,
I tried this zip file in two ways, one is by using the system update and choosing package. It gave me the same error.
So i tried to use this file for Mi Flash tool, but says flash script not found.
Any more advice?

What's your device model ? Is it whyred or Vince ?? Doest it have dual camera or single camera ??
You need fastboot ROM package to flash in Mi Flash Tool

Hello,i think this is funny becquse igot the same error. But,I have locked bootloader no root, i was thinking about enabling camera2api ,but not tried it. Only flashed (via updater app) recovery roms (also tried dev. Versions of roms) , and in each rom version is the same error. So my OTA dont work anymore. Last update i must downloaded manually. Somthing ,somewhere is wrong.
Btw: (whyred global version phone,in EU)
Well, 10.3.2 fastboot also didnt flash properly. So I tried 10.3.1 Fastboot files using MI flash tool, after 10.3.1 zip file also failed. And 10.3.1 fastboot file flashed successfully and then it updated normally to 10.3.2. Guess my recovery image was corrupted for some reason.

[ROM][UNOFFICIAL] Resurrection Remix 5.8.5 for Cubot Cheetah + TWRP

Hello everyone, I was able to successfully port a RR Rom for this device.
Installation:
- Get SP Flash Tools (I used version 5.1512.0, like before)
- Download the RR ROM - https://mega.nz/#!swcRzAgB!fI4CbeHIfx_CdyPrmMNcGN4uQFy4YhaJohufU_DGxGI
- Download TWRP (scatter file included) - https://mega.nz/#!1xUjRIiA!0aFkvFOe0QP_f5SlMcBAPo0nCWNJbW0iagW0OlDaLlU
- Open the "RR 5.8.5 - 7.1.2" zip file, and put "boot.img" and "magisk_patched.img" into your phone's INTERNAL storage so you can find them later
- Flash the recovery through SP Flash Tools to "BOOT" partition! (If you flash it to "recovery" partition, the screen may not work)
- Reboot, it should boot into TWRP
- Wipe system, cache, data, dalvik cache
- Flash the ROM (you don't need to flash Gapps, they are pre-installed)
- After it's done, go back and click "Install", then "Install image".
- Flash either "boot.img" if you want no root access, or "magisk_patched" if you want the root access.
- Reboot.
- Wait for it to boot
Bugs
- No fingerprint is available to set-up
- Let me know if you find any?

This is my 2nd attempt at porting, ever, sorry for not being straight-forward and making this overly complicated.
If this works well for people I might try MIUI next.
And let me know if your device reads/works properly with SD card inserted! I think it may be just my device that doesn't recognize any, but would be nice to get some confirmation.
All credits go to Cleopatra Bianchi for providing TWRP.

I understand all of these, I know to work with adb, fastboot commands but I cannot unlock bootloader on my device, Cubot Note 20 Pro. I was searching about 3 days for this, I found what I knew but it seems that no command works in fastboot:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot oem unlock-go
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
fastboot oem unlock_critical
I must mention... Developer options, OEM-unlocking and USB-debugging checked, all MTK and ADB drivers installed, I'm not a begginer... but, of course, I don't know everything. So, I need a little help!
Nothing works, no command... it says "... command not supported in default implementation". I need unlock the bootloader first of all for rooting my device and other reasons.
I'm really frustrated, blocked in this situation! Can anybody help my to unlock bootloader, please? Thank you.
Ok friends, I managed to unlock bootloader, get root... and I tried to port the stock recovery with Mediatek Auto TWRP Recovery Porter.
Then, I flashed vbmeta and recovery images in fastboot mode...
After that, my Cubot Note 20 Pro is booting only in fastboot mode... until I flashed the stock recovery again.
Does anyone have any working solutions, suggestions other than waiting for an official TWRP? Thank you.
Edit:
I found this, I followed all the steps... but it stucked in TWRP logo... waited about 20 minutes... nothing... any solution please?! Thank you.

Android 11 Red Magic Rom [FLASHGUIDE]

Hello again!
I saw a post where leipnacht provides a link to the public beta of Android R. (I let you here a drive link to download it faster).
I flashed it and it's working properly on my device. There is some bugs, but the most part of the things works without problems (Personally, I didn't face any bug itself (only a low noise with the vibration by the moment), but there are some comments in the page of bbs nubia about some problems with other things.
The previous conditions from where I update to Android R Red Magic Rom were using a GSI in the Android 10 chinese version of the rom. So, the steps I followed are:
1. In the recovery, wipe data, cache and dalvik. Also, format data.
2. Flash in the Android 10 TWRP the Android R rom.
3. Flash this NikGapps Package , Magisk Debug and DFE (Encrypt disabler in order to be able decrypt data in the recovery). I also flashed Permissive_5 but I think there is no need to do it.
4. Boot and enjoy.
I will attach all the files and some screenshots for those who want to take a see to the rom. Personally, I feel no changes in this version, but, as always, the performance is great and it runs really smooth. It's a beta version, so I hope more changes in the future.
P.D. In order to get safetynet passing, I used HideProps Config magisk module. There is no big issues with it, and everything is fixable
P.d.2. This rom has antiroll-back active, so if you want to go back to previous version, you will have to use the unbrick tool

Thanks for the update.
I have been planning to upgrade my Red Magic 3 to Android 10 (CN rom) for quite a while now. And its good to know A11 beta has arrived too.
Have you tried fps games on this device like pubg mobile, cod etc? Do they work properly ?
Also, I haven't even unlocked bootloader on my device. Can you proivde a better guide, to completely switch from global rom (stock) to A11 (beta) or A10 CN rom (stable).
Need links / guide for following items -
- Unlock bootloader
- Link of working twrp and steps to flash (should I change recovery after installing this beta?)
- Gapps and Magisk link (As I can't run this device without Google services).
It will be a huge help for me to get started.
Take your time with it (no rush).
Thanks in advance!!!

- Gapps and Magisk link (As I can't run this device without Google services).
It will be a huge help for me to get started.
Take your time with it (no rush).
Thanks in advance!!!

Hey!
No problem at all. I let you here two guides to migrate to the cn rom and even a gsi
Be careful and aware about what you are going to do, It's not specially difficult but you have to get ready all the files and tools in case of brick or bootloops.
Enjoy the flashing!

Thanks for the links. I am planning to update to stable A10 version for now.
I have few questions it be a huge help you could clear some of my doubts -
1. After unlocking bootloader I have to install TWRP (for gapps to run). So should I install TWRP after flashing CN rom ? or before ?
I am asking this because I read in some guides that only CN rom is custom recovery capable.
2. If you have run A10 stables before, does OTA updates require to be installed via TWRP only ?
Will I loose Gapps and Root access if I updated the ota directly from settings? And will every rom flash with TWRP clear my installed apps ?
Thanks in advance for helping!!. ??

Well, I will go in order:
1. You have to flash first in the stock recovery the Android 10 CN rom and then flash the custom recovery. There is no twrp avaible for global rom. Once in the custom recovery, you can flash Gapps and Magisk (in android 10 there is no need of DFE file, the recovery is able to decrypt data properly.
2. You don't need to get worried about OTAs, there is no a constant software update work by nubia for this device, but in case of update, you would flash the rom from the offcial page, with magisk and gapps again and be sure you keep the custom recovery.

Hello again!
I saw a post where leipnacht provides a link to the public beta of Android R. (I let you here a drive link to download it faster).
I flashed it and it's working properly on my device. There is some bugs, but the most part of the things works without problems (Personally, I didn't face any bug itself (only a low noise with the vibration by the moment), but there are some comments in the page of bbs nubia about some problems with other things.
The previous conditions from where I update to Android R Red Magic Rom were using a GSI in the Android 10 chinese version of the rom. So, the steps I followed are:
1. In the recovery, wipe data, cache and dalvik. Also, format data.
2. Flash in the Android 10 TWRP the Android R rom.
3. Flash this NikGapps Package , Magisk Debug and DFE (Encrypt disabler in order to be able decrypt data in the recovery). I also flashed Permissive_5 but I think there is no need to do it.
4. Boot and enjoy.
I will attach all the files and some screenshots for those who want to take a see to the rom. Personally, I feel no changes in this version, but, as always, the performance is great and it runs really smooth. It's a beta version, so I hope more changes in the future.
P.D. In order to get safetynet passing, I used HideProps Config magisk module. There is no big issues with it, and everything is fixable
P.d.2. This rom has antiroll-back active, so if you want to go back to previous version, you will have to use the unbrick tool

Could you please tell me where to download the 3.11 rom. I am not aware that this rom exists. Is this a CN or global rom? Thanks for your reply.

Oh! Didn't expect that. I just post this for Red Magic 3 device users. I don't know how RM3S actually works. Have you tried the unbrick tool from chinese version? Or just flashing the global rom from recovery is enough?
Wait is there a chinese unbrick tool cn. version for red magic can you provide me a link.. unbrick tool 3/3s.global by jerry is not working anymore if you got brick by android 11 beta rom...

Let's see. Here is a link for Red Magic 3S unbrick tool. Download the non-eu ones.
If you have a Red Magic 3 with Red Magic 3s software, I will provide you the link to the other unbrick tool.
Also, you can try flashing the global rom from the stock recovery included in the package of the A11 rom that you have download.

So then, It's not a problem of the unbrick tool, that is actually working properly. The thing is that you didn't know how to do a correct process to migrate from cm rom to global...
The first thing you should do is reboot the phone into fastboot mode (power+vol. Down). Then, connect the phone to the PC and type the next commands in the cmd:
Code:
fastboot devices
in order to see if your device is being recognized
Code:
fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX629J
to unlock the bootloader
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
in order to make your phone able to boot with a modified software. In the moment you will enter this command, you will see a screen advising you about your data (it'll be erased once you accept to unlock flashing).
After that, you can reboot your phone, that will show you an screen advising you that the bootloader is open. Accept and continue without problems.
Tell me if you have been able to make your phone boot.

Required in CN A10 + twrp A10, or maybe from CN A9 + twrp A9 to be able to flash

How to flash stock firmware for Huawei P30 without SD card?

I need information on how to flash an android 10 stock ROM on Huawei P30 via PC
Please help
AFAIK this phone's Stock ROM is Android 9 ( EMUI 9.1 ) and NOT Android 10. Don't think an Adroid 10 Stock ROM for this phone is offered by OEM.

Alright, can you help me with some info on how to flash it onto this device via PC because the SD card solution will not work because this phone does not have an sd card slot.
I think you didn't get it.
Anyway:
To flash another Android OS than the default Stock ROM you have to
1. Find a Custom Recovery suitable to phone ( my recommendation: OrgangeFox )
2. Find a Custom ROM suitable to phone
If findings were successful you have to
1. Flash the Custom Recovery found ( what is achieved from PC via Fastboot )
2. Flash the Custom ROM found by means of already flashed Custom Recovery
what requires phone's bootloader got unlocked before
