Hej everyone,
I flashed a custom rom from mi-globe a few months. It was working great. Then I had the not so incredible idea of updating with latest miui eu 12, because the weekly update from the update menu was not working. It kinda worked, but it got too buggy. So I wanted to come back to a xiaomiEU Stable Rom.
It is now that problems begin. When I flashed miui eu 12, I got recovery loop. Lost all my data trying to fix, but I was able to flash the stock rom via the amazing XiaomiADBFastbootTools in my GNU/Linux distro. It worked! But the main issue is can not flash the custom rom again. I download the custom rom in the internal storage, flash the twrp via fastboot, enter recovery, create full backup, wipe to factory reset and flash the custom rom. Everything seems successful, but then I get a recovery loop again and when I try to restore the backup, the data folder is filled with folders and files with random chars in the names. Apparently the data folder becomes read-only for some reason as well. Then I have to flash the stock rom and tried everything again. I have done it at least 5 times now. I have searched a lot for some solution and nothing works
I have tried the OrangeFox recovery and the mi-globe rom, same issue. I really want a custom rom , but I have no idea what to do anymore. If I could at least restore my backed up stock rom, it would help a lot.
Please help me out and sorry I posted in the wrong section.

I recently wiped (sys/data/cache/dav) my opo and tried flashing the aosp .zip OnePlus released.
I completely failed to see it was an .ota and it would not flash. I restored nandroid and its a mess.
The phone boots fine to vanir/ak restore, but no lock screen, radio, etc.
Checked settings and all looks good, except "Firmware Unknown".
Should I just backup my onboard storage and use a factory image to restore?
Reflash the Vanir ROM that u restored from to see what missing elements get restored. If u have no radio though, use fastboot to flash or one of the flashable zips. You shouldn't have to completely wipe depending on which partitions are jacked, if any.
From my N5 or OPO

Thanks for the post. I tried flashing a Vanir nightly from Twrp and it was a real mess. It would boot to OS, but constant settings, etc. fail to launch windows popping up.
No radio on nandroid and on twrp zip flashes in any case.
Had a feeling it would take a fastboot flash of a zip.
Thinking stock cm 11s .zip fastboot flash then?
Please Help
I was in miui ROM then I tried flashing Metallium ROM, after I flashed it, it booted up but, it wasn't restoring my previous apps, so I skip that part, but then when I got to the home screen I wasn't able to access my stuffs in my phone memory.
So I thought maybe I need to change the data to f2fs, so I went to the recovery and did and flashed the Metallic ROM again, but this time it didn't boot at all, there was a bootloop and I could get past the start up screen.
I tried my older ROMs the one that I had, but it's all giving me the same response now, I have switch before but I never have had this problem. Please help, how do I flash other lollipop ROM again.
Maybe changing to f2fs and doing a factory reset. If that doesn't help, flash stock ROM via fastboot.

Yeah that might work but I'm kinda looking for a solution where I don't have to flash the stock again because I lost all my moto g stuffs some months back.
And another thing is that when I flash MIUI its working fine again and I'm able to access all the file in my phone storage also. Any suggestions?
Mmmm if you are using TWRP you could connect the phone to the PC and make a backup while you are in recover mode. Then format again data partition to f2fs and make a factory reset including internal storage and finally flash your ROM and restore your files.
But if that is not working then the only option is flashing Stock ROM
If MIUI is still booting it means that your data partition is still ext4
Hi.
Im a noob on XDA but have enjoyed the freedom of custom roms for some time now on my note 4 (N910C). So far it has only been stock based touchwiz roms. A few days ago i decided to give CM13 a go and since then i have been unable to revert back. Every touchwiz rom (stock and custom) i have tried just ends in a bootloop but when i flash CM13 again it boots up just fine.
I have tried flashing numerous android 6.0.1 stock roms through odin, even from different regions but still for the same version. Its always stuck in a bootloop.
Tried flashing stock and then immediately flashing custom stock based rom (both clean install after wiping and trying to dirty flash over stock rom)
I have done all the suggestions of factory resetting, wiping caches and you name it after clean flashes and even tried them with dirty flashes. Whatever i do i cannot get any stock or stock based rom to boot up.
A few months ago i tried out cm12.1 and had no problem going back to a stock based rom, but after CM13 my phone absolutely refuses to boot anything stock or stock based.
I would appreciate any advice and suggestions. Please ask if theres any more info needed of my device or roms i already tried.

You might be having kernel issues. If the stock you're flashing is a flashable zip then it might not include the stock kernel, if it doesn't include the stock kernel then its leaving the custom kernel from CM13. If that's the case it won't work because stock won't work with a CM kernel.
You said you did the wipes when you flashed, did you mean that you did factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache? Or did you mean that you did the advanced wipe options to wipe system partition and data partition before flashing?
If you didn't do the advanced wipe before flashing then it might help if you did them before flashing. Wipe system and wipe data then factory reset then flash ROM then wipe cache and dalvik after flashing then reboot.

I flash stock roms through Odin with the .tar.md5 file.

Usually if it bootloops after flashing with Odin, you boot to stock recovery and factory reset/wipe cache and it should boot after that.
The times that you tried stock and then went back to CM13, are you rooting and reflashing TWRP again so you can flash back to CM13? Or is it leaving custom recovery on the device even after flashing with Odin? If its leaving TWRP on the device then Odin isn't flashing correctly.
Are you flashing the full stock firmware in Odin? Or are you flashing a modified stock .tar?

I have tried all the factory reset/wipe cache suggested on other threads and websites i have found regarding bootloops.
When going back to CM13 after trying methods to get stock back i flash TWRP again as flashing stock through Odin replaces TWRP with stock recovery again and then do a restore of CM13 through TWRP with all my necessary apps on, much easier than installing everything again after each try (a fresh install of CM13 also works fine with no problems). I also tried various versions of Odin just in case it was a problem with the version i used but every time i get the same same results.
I am flashing full pure stock from sammobile.
Hi guys. Last days I decided to try out some custom kernel with my MIUI ROM. I installed Genom kernel after having some problems installing the wrong AOSP version, but finally found the MIUI version on Telegram. When I tried to restore my backup (stock kernel) with Pitch-Black recovery, I noticed that Wifi and Bluetooth weren't working, flashing original firware fixed bluetooth but no wifi, then I had to go back to Genom kernel. Today I found a supposed MIUI stock kernel in the Genom kernel thread, but after flashing it I have bootloop. I can't wipe data, because I installed the Pitch-Black recovery from a different way, without mounting data (I didn't want to lost my data), I installed root from external storage, now I see it was a bad idea. The only thing that lasts is to install the full MIUI ROM again, but I just found the MIUI 10.3.2 for download, my device was running 10.3.3, and I'm afraid I can't install it or it to not work. Can someone give me a solution?
EDIT: I managed to wipe the Data, now I have access to internal storage, but I also wiped the system partition, so now I have no system installed. If I reboot my phone it will brick?
Tried to download the MIUI 10.3.2 firware from Xiaomi site, it has 2.5GB, but the download always fails at 2GB. I tried to install Pixel Experience ROM and Havoc-OS, both give me "Updater process ended with ERROR 7". I don't know what to do, my phone is unusable.
All I have access to is twrp 3.4 and the all in one tool. Through flashing I screwed up along the way. Can't say where @ this point but just need to make my phone stock again to start over. I've flashed factory OOS 10.3.3, 10.3.4. each time wiping data and dalvik. Re installed twrp 3.4 and magisk 20.4. I've tried flashing aosp roms as well. Had resurection remix installed and wanted to try and go back to OOS and flash renovate ice magisk mod and never got it to boot into 10.3.3 OOS. All that happens is it goes to bootloader unlocked screen and then black with vibration and reboots into twrp. I even have a rr back up and a stock backup that won't take either. This is all being done using an otg. Not familiar with adb on the laptop. I'm familiar with root, unlocking bootloader, and flashing things but from the nexus era. Things are a bit different now and I've been extensively reading and it seems each rom has its own method of flashing. wish I wouldn't have stopped with modding from years ago. Any help is greatly appreciated as I don't currently have a working phone
Format data. Phone will boot then.
Worked perfect, thanks!! Does that have to be formatted after any ROM install including backups? I've looked through the guides and other threads and there isn't a how to step by step explanation of how to flash new Roms or restore backups
