HELP!
My phone got stuck at MI logo after i tried to update it to the latest update.
I tried my luck, with wiping cache and cleared the data.
PS: I did root my phone before Updating Mi 4i!

Reflash your Rom via fastboot

You tried to update your phone with root, there's your problem. You need to refresh your room with fastboot.

The Mi PC suite will download ROM automatically if i connect my phone in fast-boot right?

or u could just download fastboot rom just in case
Cheers~

Always remember, flash the TWRP recovery also for the Mi4i. Just in case something goes wrong like this. Whenever you root your MIUI phone, NEVER update using the OTA. Download the update package from the site and flash manually.

mi 4i soft bricked ?! strange behaviour after rom flash

Hello,
i hope you guys can help me.
What i did
Stock rom was rooted and i forgot to unroot and did an update
so the phone got stuck on boot.
I used this as reason to try out a custom rom.
I flashed twrp, flashed InfinitiveOS-v1.2-ferrari-5.1.1--20150905-OFFICIAL but was very unhappy with the Camera bug.
After one day I decided to flashed Euphoria-OS 1.1 [August 17] [Ferrari] + RazorReborn v1.0 [SABER][KCAL][-o2] + gapps-5.1-arm64-2015-07-17-15-08 after reboot it looked fine for the moment.
it showed the "installing app x from xx" dialog and then a "finishing boot" dialog after that the display went black.
The Problem
Now when i restart the phone it shows the Mi logo then the display turns black and stays black. If connected to the pc windows detects six new unformated drives all about 1 - 4 mb big.
I can access fastboot and recovery.
Any advices ?!
Thanks and sorry for my bad english

fastboot flash miui6 and if want reflash twrp and install custom rom or root. Or reflash Euphoria OS as it has a few problems with custom kernels...

Battery stat's?!

Thanks for your reply.
After i wrote the thread i flashed miui_MI4iGlobal_5.8.28_MIUI7_5.0 via sideload. the phone seemed to be in boot loop and i forgot about it for 2 h. It booted to miui but if i go through the setup every few seconds a system apps crashes also the launcher and so on...
at least it seem to work again.
Where do i get miui as img to flash it with fastboot ? on the miui sites there seem to be only .zip files ?
@reflavius01 i dont get what you mean.

@stafan did you wipe system, data and cache/dakvik before flashing?

thank you. since the server seems to be connected with a 54k modem to the internet i managed to download the file within only about 3 h ^^
but now the miui setup starts and then again: one after another system app crashes. i guess it is because there is no space left on the phone.
I'll try the miui v6 stable version now.
Hopefully this will work.
thank you so far.
If anybody knows why there is no space left after miui (ferrari_global_images_5.8.22_20150723.0000.6_5.0_global_cf99c4a02f) is flashed i would appreciate any help.

thank you @reflavius01 i'll try that image too
After a long night its still not working well.
Maybe I do something wrong?!
When flashing Miui fastboot image:
i extract the tgz & tar file copy fastboot( and adbwinapi.dll,AdbWinUsbApi.dll and adb.exe - just to be sure) into the folder an run flash_all.bat while the phone is connected and in fastboot mode.
phone needs about 10 minutes to boot sometimes more. The miui setup starts and crashes. It doesnt crash if i'm fast enough and delete the ramdump folder. wich will ingrease very fast again and again. also the phone dosn't regonice the two sim cards. i tried taking them out and putting in again. the image reflavius01 posted shows that there is no imei and wifi mac address ?!
When flashing custom rom
flash twrp, boot into twrp, go to wipe do a factory reset.
go to advanced -> sideload, check the two boxes for dalvik and cache and start sideload. on the pc i do adb sideload path/to/rom.zip
after finish it says reboot if click the button it shows me a message something like "there is no system installed, are you sure you want to reboot?" -> then: see problem of opening thread :/

Does anybody know how to recover the lost imei and mac
and how to deactivate the ram dump mode?

Unfortunately i dont have one

So i have found a solution and let it here for anyone who might run into the same problem:
adb shell "su -c 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p20;dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21;reboot'"
that "deleted" the efs parttition.
after the reboot the imei is back and the also the wifi mac. also the ramdump mode is "disabled"

Try flash miui 6.6. through twrp. Then install custom Roms.as most of custom roms are build on miui6.not miui7.

Can only access fastboot and TWRP

Hello, I was trying to flash TWRP on my OPO and when I pressed restart, a message appeared suggesting me to also flash superSU and so I flashed it. That's it. I don't have access to the ROM, not even bootlooping. At this point how can I flash Pure Nexus? ADB Sideload won't work. It's stuck at "Starting ADB sideload feature. . .". Nothing will happen if I connect the phone to my PC and after a while it vibrates and I get "Failed" in red. Will an OTG cable solve my problem? I am willing to buy one tomorrow morning.

Clear all your partitions, by advanced wipe in TWRP.. Flash any rom.. For root always use SuperSu zip package and not the Twrp supersu prompt..

This happened to me also. Flash your new ROM using an OTG pendrive via TWRP. Hope this helps!

I used the OPO Tool to flash CM11S, flashed TWRP, flashed 7.0 N over TWRP, had an instant regret (unstable) and got back to CM13 again over TWRP.
Thanks!

[Solved] Soft Bricked after flashing stock recovery using Rashr

My Mi 4i got soft bricked
Lemme explain what happened...
I had the Mokee 5.1.1 installed on my phone with latest TWRP recovery and SuperSu.. I thought to revert back to Stable Miui Rom which had great battery backup so I downloaded the Miui 7.5.2.0 global stable rom.. And I searched that if miui rom can be flashed through twrp.. And I saw many said its possible.. So I did it.. And wiped data cache dalvic etc from twrp like we do before flashing every rom.. Then I flashed the miui rom and damn when it crossed about 2-3hrs and the progress bar was still moving and it showed above that " failed to.... Somewhat system to system" like this and progress bar was continously moving.. And I kept it like that and in the morning when I woke up saw that it switched off automatically and when I tried to switch it on.. I saw it was stuck in bootloop but I had the twrp recovery so I reinstalled the mokee rom again to come out of that bootloop and I searched again about how to revert back to miui rom from custom rom in mi 4i then I found a post in miui forum where a guy said he was also using mokee and thought to revert to miui and he said the process too which stated that we need to place the rom in the root of internal storage and rename it to update.zip and install rashr and select flash stock recovery.img and flash that update.zip from stock recovery and I did the same just the update.zip was in a folder named download... Then I successfully booted into stock recovery but when trying to install the zip its showing that the zip is corrupted.. And when I restart the device it goes in bootloop :'( with the mokee logo on screen.. I don't have a pc of my own.. I need to go to a cafe for doing anything relating to flashing rom through fastbootm. So I tried it today but in mi flash tool it was showing error.. Please help me to flash the rom from stock recovery and where should I put the zip exactly and how can I access the internal storage from pc to put it as I don't have twrp I am unable to access the internal storage from pc too.. Required pic is attached

You Need To Connect The OTG Pendrive To Your Phone Then It Will Showing.
Just Copy All The ROM Files On Your OTG Pendrive Then Connect it With Your Phone.
To Make a Clean Flash -
Wipe Dalvic ,Cache, Data ,system
Then Flash The ROM.

Question Fastboot screen usb dont works

I have an MI 12S Ultra that I was using with the MI14 ROM. But I decided to go back to the old rom (MI13 ROM).
I did the procedure via TWRP and the phone only logged in via recovery.
I checked that I wasn't accessing \data.
I formatted /data/ via TWRP and the phone is only in fastboot, not being accessible via USB. Can someone help me?

May be a Twrp problem at the start, rom A13 and Twrp A12.
Do you still have access to TWRP?

No. Only fastboot display in screen.

Is possible to use EDL cable in this model?
