Do you have a LP or KK bootloader?

My own Mi 4c journey

My Mi 4c arrived yesterday. I bought it using donations that I received from various project (Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, Tab 3, Tab 4, OnePlus One, Xiaomi Redmi 2). It's seems for Chinese market: a lot of Chinese apps, incomplete English translation, no Google services. Fortunately, TWRP port already available for this device, so rooting and installing GApps is easy. Somehow I still want to keep the original recovery.
1. Boot to fastboot mode (VOL DOWN + POWER) to fastboot TWRP:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
2. Flash SuperSU in TWRP
3. Flash Open GApps nano in TWRP
As you know, loading touchscreen firmware need times in TWRP. Just do other thing while waiting for it :laugh: The possible cause is firmware "ping-pong" issue when in kernel touchscreen firmware different between recovery and normal boot. But why loading a firmware so that long?
My device come with MIUI 7.1.4.0, unlocked bootloader. I just upgrade it to 7.2.1.0 without firmware update to keep the bootloader unlocked but use 7.1.6.0 kernel to boot it because no go with the new kernel (incompatible firmware?), MIUI logo forever. BEWARE: Don't upgrade your device to 7.2.1.0 using a standard method, your bootloader will be locked!
Attached Hardware Info report for my future reference if I decide to develop custom ROM/kernel.
@emfox, I'm with you :laugh:

MIUI 7.2.1.0 without firmware update.

how can you update to 7.2.1.0 version without firmware update?
btw, I think I will wait for Xiaomi EU or sMIUI, so I can flash them via twrp....

Backup /system/lib/modules, download 7.2.1.0, inject a modified updater-script, flash it in TWRP recovery, restore /system/lib/modules, reflash SuperSU, reflash GApps.

I hope you can make modified rom 7.2.1.0 without bootloader.

Uploading a big file always a problem for me. Maybe I'll create a proper instructions and script for it.
I confirm touchscreen "ping-pong" issue the source problem of TWRP touchscreen freeze on boot. If touchscreen driver found a different firmware version, it will flash a "proper" firmware and delayed touchscreen event initialization.

welcome aboard, my dear friend!

Looks to me, we got another developer. Good

Thanks for documenting your findings.
I can tell you I've never experienced the touchscreen bug since day one, I flashed Team Superluminal's TWRP 2.8.7.3 and I can press all buttons soon as I see them

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.

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!

downgrade from Oreo to Nougat - success but can't to install custom rom

Hi all
Currently on Batman V2.0.0 Oreo - S8+ SM-G955F
Reason for change is due to poor battery life and intermittent fingerprint scanner.
I have downloaded stock Nougat 7.0 - G955FXXU1AQF7_G955FOXM1AQF7_BTU, flashed this via Odin and everything booted up fine. The next step was to root and device and install twrp.
1. Downloaded TWRP and installed
2. Installed dm-verity and force encryption disabler
3. flashed Magisk.zip
had full access to twrp and had root.
Now i am trying to flash batman V1.50 via twrp. The installation goes fine, when rebooted it stays on the Samsung screen. it will not let me load a OS. The system states no OS installed. i have tried with 2 other Nougat roms and still no joy, i even flashed the correct bootloader and modem and still hangs on logo. is there something i am missing here? all your help would be appreciated. Oreo update is not for me.
Restored a twrp backup to go back to my working version of batman oero again, stuck with this until a solution

just a update, managed to sort it out, all working with Nougat and it is stable

How ?

2nd attempt to upgrade to 12.2.4.0 from 12.0.4.0 failed and resulting in storage wipe

Hi,
I would like to know if anybody encountered this. This is my second time encountering this issue. I was on 12.0.4 and received a notification to perform update to 12.4.0. After downloading and rebooting, my twrp launched and after a few seconds instead of flashing, it went to the main menu page. After that, the phone just goes to fastboot mode and refused to boot. My phone has been rooted with magisk. Much appreciated for experts inputs.
The only way for me to boot my phone is to do a clean flash using mi flash tool and fallback to the old version...
Thank you.

V12.0.4.0.QJKMIXM is a android 10 stable rom and V12.2.4.0.RJKMIXM is a android 11 stable beta rom which has many bugs.
V12.2.4.0.RJKEUXM is a stable rom that you can flash with miflash(but EEA not global).

After successfully going to v12.2.4.0, now I am finding that my current TWRP 3.4.1b unable to decrypt the phone thus not able to root it. I guess I have to fall back to 12.0.4.0 to be safe... I was tempted to go to 12.2.4.0 due to android 11 but looks like it's too problematic now due to beta. I was actually wondering why beta was pushed to me.

You are not the only one, many users have reported this problem to XDA and c.mi.com
Try xiaomi.eu_multi_HMK30Pro_V12.2.2.0.RJKCNXM_v12-11 better than stock and on android 11.

Try flashing stock recovery before performing ota update. Flashing ota via twrp cause /storage inaccessible for me.

Thanks, so you updated with stock recovery without issues but are you able to flash twrp with the updated rom?

Is that the most stable android 10 based on miui? I'm thinking about downgrading to many android 11 bugs on 12.2.4.0 global

Yes i am able to successfully flashed twrp via fastboot afterward and directly proceed to root using magisk.
Everything works as usual, except, for me atleast, twrp now require pattern-type (3x3 dot) as password for decryption. Pin or character doesnt works.

Deleted.

To solve update problem you need to Rollback to stable stock rom, I used this:
Code:
lmi_global_images_V12.2.4.0.RJKMIXM_20201228.0000.00_11.0_global
extracted it.
then used mi flash from this toolkit:
Code:
mi-globe.com_Xiaomi_MiFlash_Pro_EN_5.3.1104.39.exe
sorry, but I cant provide links to downloads.

This is nothing new. With the bootloader unlock you can flash any version of stock rom with miflash.

Successfully updated to 12.2.4.0. However, my nova launcher has been 'uninstalled' after this upgrade and I am unable to reinstall it with install fail error coming up. I am installing from apk. Anybody has this issue?
