honor 8 cant install any firmware and doesn't boot

hello iv been trying to flash emui 5.0 firmware but i always get the same error when i flash the system.img it says FAILED (remote: sparse flash write failure)
and when i tried to flash the cust.img i get FAILED (remote: partition error). so like you figured i damaged the partition
i tried to wipe cache, format data but still doesn't work to flash the system.img and the cust.img but the boot and recovery images are fine to flash.
i also tried the dload method with no luck. so it started of when i updated to nougat 7.0 emui 5.0 from emui 4.1 marsmallow 6.0.1 it didn't update properly and i got some other version
with only google voice input, and crashed. so i decided to flash it manually instead in fastboot but before i flashed i went in to twrp and wiped everything and formated the data.
then i flashed the boot,recovery,cust,system images from the update.app to emui 5.0 for my device but then i damage my partition and got stuck on a boot loop. after that i went
in twrp and wiped everything again flashed the images again but then system and cust img failed errors above. would appreciate any assistance thank you.

are you able to flash any custom ROM?
Try booting to TWRP from TWRP and see if it makes any different instead directly wiping and booting.

You need to flash the TWRP 3.1 for EMUI 5.0. Once you flash the correct file you can boot.
Do one thing, remove USB and just press power key, it will boot to system.

Sorry my bad english.
If you connect the phone to PC, you can browse the internal or external storage?
If you do, or you have an sdcard, use it to dload mode to flash firmware. Use rollback package to revert back to an old firmware. And don't use twrp to flashing firmwares. Its wont work perfectly with nougat firmwares. Dont use it.
From twrp did not work for me. This method send my phone to bootloop and later just booting to erecovery, or stay a permanent bootloop. TWRP gone and just the dload method works 100 percentage.

Ultimate guide to install stable or Dev rom from Xiaomi.eu

Hello everyone,
First of all, rom and recovery are not from me... I just want to make a full guide to help you
So let's go !!!!!
1 step: unlock bootloader
https://en.miui.com/unlock/
BE CAREFUL unlocking your bootloader will erase all your data (internal storage) so don't forget to make a backup
2 step: flash twrp recovery
Download the recovery image from here
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-1CSfT4lQwFZngu6RI9eowLA9CmEMEPw/view?usp=drivesdk
Be sure to have adb and fastboot tools on your computer ... If not take a look at here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
Past TWRP_umi.img on minimal adb and fastboot directory.
Open a cmd here.
Enable usb debugging on your device
Reboot your phone on bootloader (hold volume down + power), connect it to PC and tape:
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery TWRP_umi.img
Then tape fastboot reboot while holding volume up button on your devices to reboot in recovery
3 step:
At the first launch of Twrp You have to choose SWIPE TO ALLOW MODIFICATION
4 step:
THIS ONE OF THE MUST IMPORTANT STEP
In twrp menu you have to go in Wipe data on choose format data
Otherwise the ROM will not boot.
5 step:
Reboot into recovery from twrp.
6 step:
Connect your phone to your PC and paste the xiaomi.eu ROM of your choice (stable or Dev)
7 step:
Flash ROM from recovery
8 step:
REBOOT AND ENJOY :good::good::good:

Does Xiaomi EU Rom run either on encrypted and unencrypted storage?

I cant get this to work, ive been trying everything for hours. I am sure i am missing something stupid but if anyone has any new ideas please let me know. I unlocked my device today, flashed twrp via fastboot, rebooted to recovery, formatted data then went on to install xiaomi eu rom. Ever since trying this, i am constantly booting into recovery or hitting a boot loop. i have formatted data more times than i care to think of ha ha. ive tried flashing the latest fastboot rom via mi unlock tool to do a fresh start but keep getting ''flash crclist error". Ive also tried flashing miui stock via twrp and it also, doesn't boot. ive tried many combinations in between. My next option is to try the fastboot global rom (though i believe i have a chinese device), i am waiting for it to download. If anyone knows what i am doing wrong i will be eternally grateful if you can tell me what it is. I'm so frustrated, been flashing roms for years, never had anything take as long as this :crying:

Greetings
I have followed the tutorials to perfection like 2-3 times and I still face the same issue
I always go back to TWRP after trying to boot into system.
I have tried 2 different recovery files
The experimental one asks for a password. and the other one works but keeps going back to recovery after flashing.
MIUI 11 rom
MIUI 12 rom
No matter what I do It keeps going back to recovery.
It's my only device so I truly need help.
I have tried re installing everything already.
At this point I just want to install stock rom and keep using it without flashing anything please help.
PHONE FINALLY REBOOTING INTO SYSTEM. I myself don't know what i did!!!

Bootloop (stuck on 5G logo) after flashing Xiaomi.eu ROM
Dear fellow XDA-dev community members,
Xiaomi Mi 10 (umi), coming from original stock ROM, MIUI 11 GLOBAL version V11.0.2.0.QJBMIXM.
Bootloader unlocked official way via MiFlash Unlock 4.5.514.47.
Custom recovery TWRP 3.4.1b-0313 installed via XiaoMiTool V2.
Tested root by installing Magisk 20.3 via TWRP, no problem, then updating to Magisk 20.4 with the Magisk Manager 7.5.1.
The problems started when I tried to install Xiaomi.eu Custom ROM : xiaomi.eu_multi_MI10_V11.0.25.0.QJBCNXM_v11-10
Downloaded the Xiaomi.eu ROM to PC, then copied to the Download folder of the Phone.
Started phone in upload mode or TWRP. > Wipe > Swipe to Factory Reset + Format Data.
When formatting data I erase all folders in the phone, including the Xiaomi.eu ROM copied in the Download folder.
Some tutorials suggest to copy the Xiaomi.eu ROM from PC to phone after formatting the data, just by connecting the phone in TWRP to the PC, by going to > Mount and enabling MTP.
Tried this method but when I send the Xiaomi.eu ROM file to the phone the progress bas doesn’t move.
So I restarted the phone, without installing the Custom ROM, went through all the screens of initial phone configuration. Lost Magisk and root (but I supposed that it’s not mandatory to install Custom ROM). Copied again the Xiaomi.eu ROM zip file to the Download folder. Rebooted to TWRP. This time I just did Factory Reset but without Format Data. Then > Install to install the Xiaomi.eu new ROM. Cleared Dalvik Cache then reboot.
PROBLEM : bootloop. Stuck with the 5G logo forever, waited more than 30 min, no change.
Still have access to recovery TWRP and to bootloader mode. I suppose this is a soft brick?
I did > Wipe, Swipe to Factory Reset + Format Data, restarted… no change.
Copied this time the Xiaomi.eu ROM to a clean formatted (FAT32) USB drive. As shown in some tutorials, you can us an external USB drive via USB OTG to install the Custom ROM via TWRP.
Factory Reset + Format Data, then I installed again the same Xiaomi.eu ROM from the external USB. Still stuck in bootloop.
Please I need help to fix the problem
I’m not an expert developer, but I’m not a complete noob either.
This is the first time I have troubles with a brand new Xiaomi Phone.
It’s the first time I get a very expensive phone, but had no choice (they are getting very expensive), because I always buy a Flagship Xiaomi to get all the community support possible.
And I had to change the ROM to Xiaomi.eu, because the Official Global ROM is full of bloatware I had a good experience with Xiaomi.eu ROMs with my old Xiaomi Mi 4 and Mi 5.
At this point I don’t mind going back to stock MIUI Global ROM.
I suppose that with access to boot loader I can flash the Official ROM from PC with MiFlash2020-3-14-0? If it’s the case can somebody show me detailed steps to do that?
For Mi 10 Official Global there is the Stable Full ROM (miui_UMIGlobal_V11.0.2.0.QJBMIXM_4f986c08cb_10.0 ) (2.45 GB) and Stable ROM (umi_global_images_V11.0.2.0.QJBMIXM_20200328.0000.00_10.0_global_09b168ff9e) (3.76 GB). Which One to flash from PC with MiFlash?
I can’t afford to hard brick the device
Thank you very much.

Hello,
i have a silly question about step 4:
someone says we should "Wipe Data", someone says we should "Format Data" ,
i don't see a real difference unless we want to change the filesystem type.
Advices ?
And also, when we format ( or wipe ) the "Data" partition, are we formatting the 256 GB partition ?
if yes, this is a really huge drawback for us who want to change ROM more frequently than other android users, because we have to backup a 256 GB partition ...
This is not fast to do online ( at least with my poor connection ) and it is not fast to do on PC or on a USB KEY.
So we have 256 GB and we need to format at each ROM change ? Too bad ...
In the good old times i did extract my microSD card and i was safe .
Someone could explain me please ?
thank you all for your patience...

Hello,
You have to format data the first time you flash xiaomi.eu rom because their rom is base on Chinese firmware (if you don't or just wipe it will not boot)
Each time you will flash a rom with different base (from Chinese base to global base or global to Chinese) you will have to format data !!

You format data to remove encryption.

Hello,
I tried to flash the latest miui 12. I followed all the steps...
But now I can't acess recovery nor rom.
Basically when i try to flash TWRP with bootloader it just goes back to fastboot.
Also note that the flash is successful. But I somehow can't acess TWRP, just goes back to fastboot
And when I flash the experimental TWRP on the dev thread it boots to recovery but asks for a password.. Impossible to flash anything.. Even after I formated data and everything
I tried flashing other TWRP I found but nothing boots even after trying a lot of time.
I tried <fastboot boot recovery.img> as well
I tried <fastboot erase recovery> and then flash the TWRP as well
I've been trying hard for the last 8 hours.
I also have a backup of when I had MIUI 12. But impossible to flash it with the only recovery I can boot to.
I feel so desperate. I'm out of ideas.
If you have any ideas, I'm listening
Thanks for the help guys.

an what is the latest miui12 u try to flash

Possibly bricked my poco f2 pro, is there a way to fix this?

Hi all.
Today I unlocked my phone to flash the crDroid rom. First I went into fastboot to flash mauro's twrp and that worked fine. Then I flashed the miui 12.0.3 full stock image from twrp, which might have been a mistake since I flashed the full image instead of an extracted vendor / firmware version. Then I wiped system, cache and data and flashed twrp but when I tried to boot the phone it went into an infinite boot screen. Then I wiped and flashed the whole stock miui image again in the hope that I would at least be able to boot miui but that also failed, since the phone kept booting back to recovery and there was no boot screen at all.
I have also tried flashing the stock image (ver 12.0.6) from fastboot but it fails because of the anti rollback check error. The image I tried to flash has an antirollback version of 0 while my phone has a version of 1, so "current device antirollback version is greater than this package" is what I got. Now my options are very limited because for some reason my laptop can't access the file system of the phone so I can't transfer files to the phone anymore and the ADB sideload feature from twrp is not working, so I only have fastboot (adb also won't recognize my device). What can I do to save my phone? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Flash the MIUI with MiFlash.

Had sort of the same issue...
Try using adbfastboot tool ( it's a java programme ) to swap recoveries.
I got the bootloop after installing the LOS recovery , installed twrp from adbfastboot tool and got it working.
Nice to have working recovery but since adb sideload is broken in twrp i needed LOS recovery.
Tried to reflash the LOS recovery from the tool and this time it worked

Flash with Miflash (the latest version https://xiaomiflashtool.com/ option CLEAN ALL) the rom that was on your phone when you bought it.
For the roms It is better to flash firmwares with Miflash because TWRP is not 100% functional.

Man I can't believe such a simple suggestion would work but it did thanks! Initially I did not flash with miflash because it prompted me to install drivers and it crashed when I clicked the install button, turns out all I had to do was create a folder named log in the miflash directory lol. So flashing the stock image works. And it definitely boots correctly to miui with the clean all and lock option.
But now when I try to flash crdroid or pixel experience I still end up with an infinite boot screen even when using exactly the specified firmware :/ Like you see crdroid and pixelexp boot animations correctly but it lasts forever. I must be doing something wrong with the firmware still because that's the only reason I can think of why it won't boot. After I flash the firmware in miflash I don't have to boot miui up first right? I'm using the 'save user data' option in miflash if that matters.

In my post, I specified CLEANALL, but anyway, you must format data before flashing.
Which rom do you want to install Cdroid or Pixel?

I'm now trying to flash crdroid. After flashing V12.0.3.0.QJKMIXM in miflash with flash_all, I formatted data in twrp (the one where you have to type yes) but also with a decrypt & normal factory reset I still get the same result. After the format, I flashed crdroid without magisk and gapps, and it'll just hang on the crdroid boot screen :/. The weird thing is, before I flash the crdroid rom it can boot in MIUI just fine and it'll show that it's indeed the correct 12.0.3.0 in the settings so I have no idea if it's just the crdroid ROM at this point.

Flash with miflash V12.0.3.0.QJKMIXM reboot system and go fasboot when affiche "devices is locked",flash chinesse twrp ,reboot twrp,format data reboot twrp,wipe all ecxept OTG reboot twrp,flash Cdroid format data,reboot twrp flash gapps,reboot system( take time ).

This ended up working perfectly Crdroid is now running like a charm with gapps and magisk. Thank you guys a lot for helping me out with this!

Google Pixel (sailfish) TWRP install not working - failed to mount /system_root and /vendor

Hey all!
I've been trying to install TWRP on my google pixel (32 GB/ 4GB). It runs Android 10, has an encrypted filesystem and the boot loader is unlocked. I booted into fastboot mode, then used fastboot boot twrp.img to boot into TWRP and it worked perfectly fine. Then, after decrypting, I tried flashing the TWRP zip I had on my phone. But it failed to do so, giving these errors - Failed to mount /system_root (invalid argument); Failed to mount /vendor (invalid argument). When I checked the mounted partitions in TWRP, system and vendor were unchecked and I couldn't check them.
Next, I tried to use fastboot flash recovery to flash the TWRP image directly from fastboot but this didn't work either.
Finally, I tried to flash a TWRP image after booting to TWRP. I chose the install to recovery ramdisk option but it didn't install, giving me the same failed to mount errors.
So right now I'm stuck at this point. Any help will be really appreciated
Thanks

You should indicate which image you are booting and flashing. There are several and from what I gather, not all are compatible with 10.

Hello! Thank you so much for the reply. I was flashing and booting twrp 3.5.1_9-0 for sailfish.

Try 3.3.0 instead (for both). The last I can find on my records that I used is 3.1.0.
Edit:
fastboot boot image
Flash twrp zip
Flash magisk zip
Reboot
Should be rooted with twrp installed.
This is how it used to work at least.

Okay I will try that out thank you!

Hey! I tried what you said, booted into twrp using fastboot. But when I entered my password to decrypt data it says "password failed, please try again". This did not happen when I used the other img.

I read through the twrp thread. I don't think they ever got deception working on 10. Not by installing, just booting.

I don't think you can on Android 10. You can try but I think people just booted twrp when they wanted to use it.

I think I'm having the same problem or at least a very similar one, I get the same errors in TWRP (started with ""fastboot boot twrp.img") saying unable to mount /system_root and /vendor but i am still told installation was successful anyway. Unfortunately, when I reboot to recovery, it seems to try and start TWRP but the phone restarts after the google boot logo and this will happen every time.
You can get the older verson of (temporary) TWRP Tulsadiver suggested using past the decrypting stage simply by removing your password/pin in settings > security > screen lock but using this version didn't help me at all.
I have tried going back to an earlier stock rom using google's images and trying to install TWRP again but this didn't work either.
Please let me know if you get anywhere with this.

I also have the same problem. It just saying unable to mount /system_root (Invalid argument)
And the /system is read-only,
I need to modify the files on /system partition, what should I do?
I've tried 3.4.0.0 and 3.3.0.0 and 3.6.9.0-9-0 but all failed.
Thank you all!

I have this problem too. Pixel sailfish on Android 10, tried to install TWRP zip file using the TWRP temp boot, and it will say unable to mount system_root and vendor but still successful, but unable to boot to recovery (restarts after Google boot logo).
Any idea how to install TWRP on Pixel with Android 10?

Failed to mount '/system_root' (invalid argument). Failed to mount '/vendor' (invalid argument). Failed to mount '/product' (invalid argument)

did i miss something? or first thing should i do?
thanks guys
i really need some help guys

I had the same thing this weekend trying to fix an issue i had. What helped with me is putting the image on an external SD card and flash from there.
When I saved the custom rom on the phone storage and flashed it from there, same failed to mount errors.
I have no idea why either, but worth a try maybe? My guess its something with the internal storage.
My procedure was:
Recovery - wipe dalvik and cache - format data - connect to PC, transfer FW and custom rom - flash FW: Succes - flash WaveOS: failed to mount. Reboot recovery - try to install, but WaveOS not on internal storage (empty). Connected to PC - transferred rom - install from internal - mount error. Reboot, again no image file on internal.
Afterwards transferred ROM to sdcard, selected it with install from storage; succes.

thats really strange for me , beacuse i have the same issue , but in order to fix it somone say it need update twrp , or the rom u try to install is no vendor
but its actually true that something broken in twrp that can't read/write internal before we finish wipe data,cache,dalvik
so that give error becus all system,vendor,product missing/can't read by twrp BUGGY,
so instead update my twrp i just flash stock rom and try again,
but this time i use OrangeFox
without FW flash And only flash rom corvus 16.7
success and format data > Yes > reboot.
there you go its success but the rom looks like buggy and its real bug or maybe i don't install FW before the rom? can u pls answer this << ? thanks.
so if u guys(all who got this error) still can in twrp and UBL u can just flash stock rom via Miui Flash / update twrp
really strange error for me

my phone now bootloop on fastboot
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/poco-x3-nfc-bootloop-fastboot.4365899/
Hello guys, I installed Pixel experience custom on my poco x3 a few weeks ago. After few days, I tried to update the PE custom from but it showed failed "error 1" so, I skipped and forget about the update and kept using the phone.
Yesterday, I decided to go back one MIUI. I downloaded MIUI for my POCO X3 EEA version. I couldn't install it too, as it always showed "error 1". and starting yesterday, the phone bootlooped in fastboot.
Today, I tried to install the Official Miui Rom using MiFlashtool but always the same issue. First I tried installing the global official rom, it didn't work, then, installing EEA version but same thing.
Someone here can help me on that matter please, I never get an idea in how to fix that issue.
Thank you so much in advance for your help

ur phone is still UBL or not? its really ez to flash via miflash if u dont have any problem with UBL, because if ur phone ubl u cannot do nothing except u flash it with EDL 9008 < this is what i read atleast
but for me personally its still always a hope , can u do another stock rom miui? try INDIA / INDONESIA / GLOBAL
HIGHLY RECOMEND IS GLOBAL / INDONESIA < BEST STABLE FOR NOW
the reason u update PE rom is what? did u install a dirty / clean flash? cuz no way u can calm and relax with dirty flash, ur emmc will be sad
pls note try another stock rom install via miflash < safest way without breaking
read carefully step by step
find solution for ur error 1
