bro..im downgrading from miui 7 to miui 6...i heard from other sources that...i should wipe dalvik cache, system,cache... in order to be successful... can you guarantee me...that this method works 100%?

It works for me. I can't guarantee nothing.

Yes me too!!! But RR only. I tried RR but when it reaches the language screen it froze then turned off. Any Help?

first flash 6.x.x fastboot rom and then start flashing custom roms , its due to kernel issues

Flash Official MIUI with only Stock recovery, else it won't work!

Same problem for me on miui 7.0.3.0 rooted and twrp custom recovery for cm13, blisspop, pa, RR Install successfully but device could not be booted success , sometime stuck, restart, power off…. Please fixed this.

1. Flash MIUI 6.6.10 or 5.6.11 using Fastboot/MiRecovery
2. Flash TWRP
3. Flash CM13 + GApps

My Phone cannot be flashed into any ROM except the original MIUI

I want to flash an RR into my Mi 4C. So I unlocked my bootloader by registering in Mi.com.
Firstly I flashed in a TWRP Rec
Code:
fastboot flash recovery ..../twrp.img
fastboot boot twrp.img
And successfully boot into rec.
Then I tried to install the ROM. After flashing it stuck on the Mi Logo every time.
Tried sideload and "install" by the TWRP but didn't work.

You can simply check your bootloader status by
fastboot oem device-info

Also select correct TWRP version for Mi4c, based on android version

TWRP selection is related to Android version? Could you please explain a little? When I was flashing my Nexus 6P I've never considered about Android version

After you flashed Nougat based Xiaomi rom, you can't boot on the older version of TWRP.
There is a new TWRP for nougat rom.
If you already flashed Nougat based Xiaomi rom, use the new version. You can find it in here https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/7-2-16-17.38651/

Nothing ever changed
I used this TWRP before.I flashed it in, boot the recovery, flashed in my ROM, checked clear Dalvik cache, pressed Reboot System.
The screen goes dark and never turned on. Press the power button only to realize it Reboot into bootloader.
Every time I reboot it reboot in Bootloader.
Plus I do a FULL wipe every time I flash in and did not work ?
UPDATE!! I flashed in a ROM in XIAOMI.EU and succeed.But why ???
Still failed in flashing in other ROMs

xiaomi.eu provides a modded MIUI. Maybe it's unofficial.
I got a weekly-update version and flashed it in and succeed.
It is MIUI 8

Most probably you mess up with old TWRP & Nougat 7.0 rom
You are welcome :good:

Thanks dude! It helps me a lot! I thought we need to install Nougat recovery before flashing Nougat rom!

Mi 4i lost its Android OS

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?

Go to this link, and download :

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...

I can't flash older android than Nougat.

I don't know what is going on but if i will flash zip with android 5.1 (like cm.12.1) or 6 (resurr remix) system doesn't boot. Phone is just turning off and thats all.

You have nougat bootloader so you can install only nougat roms.
If you want to install lollipop roms you have to do a downgrade to lollipop bootloader.

That means now i have to download original firmware 5.1 and flash it through the fastboot and then i will have good bootloader for cm12.1 ? Maybe i can find it in internet and flash bootlader in TWRP? Adb sideload and fastboot still available
Where i can find that?

Follow steps 2 to 9 and you'll be OK.

@cezarmed2 thanks for help with the main issue
I did flashed right bootloader and i did flashed cm12.1 without gapps for test. It works fine but now i can't enter recovery mode. It's also interesting because i was trying to flash through the fastboot and android app (flashify) and still does't work :/
