If i understand well, if you can get to twrp there is no reason to worry...
You just download an official / developer rom or any custom rom, reflash and you are done.
Yeah I know, thing is, mi4i doesn't have an external memory slot..

go to recovery and connect your phone in mtp mode from recovery , take backup from internal memory and flash official stable rom
You may flash the device recovery/kernel/firmware via FastBoot
Flash TWRP Recovery via Fastboot, then adb sideload a ROM on the Device. Or Download Official Fastboot firmware for the device and flash it.
Don't forget to say thanks
flash the device with fastboot rom via FastBoot using mi flash
I have the same problem. Just Go into TWRP and wipe Dalvik/Cache/Data/System, after that just flash ROM again and everything works fine
The problem is with firmware and kernel. The firmware isn't compatible with kernel. If u flash the whole rom with firmware it will be fine, if U know witch FW have u used flash it flash it back or flash back original kernel.
check http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-4i/development/miui-firmware-flash-t3367968

Whatever You Do, first take a backup of your EFS Partition with TWRP or MI Toolkit. My device crashed and corrupted all partitions suddenly and my IMEI is lost now and I didn't have any backup of EFS to restore my IMEI.
And for restoring your device back to normal you will have to follow this..
1. Take backup of EFS and store it somewhere safe in you pc.
2. Download and extract the Fastboot ROM for Mi4i from here : http://update.miui.com/updates/v1/fullromdownload.php?d=ferrari_global&b=X&r=global&n=
3. As you have already rooted, I suppose that you already have adb drivers installed. If not then install
4. Open Recovery and press and hole POWER and VOLUME DOWN button after recovery boots up completely and do not release the keys until fastboot opens.
5. open Terminal(Linux)/CMD(Windows) and navigate into the directory you just downloaded and extracted.
5. Run "flash_all.bat"(Windows)/"flash_all.sh"(Linux).
6. Give it some time and you will get a brand new MIUI 7. After flashing miui 7 you can install any rom you wish.
Let me know if your device gets fixed or if you need any help..
Thanks.

Hi.
So this was pretty stupid of me. I was trying to flash LiquidRemix onto my OP6, but I forgot to wipe the system partition. Flashed the rom, then blu_spark twrp, and rebooted into recovery to flash gapps and all. Got a black screen with a static LED. Didn't think that was a big issue cause this has happened before with normal TWRP on OB6 or OB7. Tried hard resetting to see if I could get into system, same result. Tried fastboot flashing 9.0.2, no help. And finally tried flashing OB9 via fastboot, and also no help.
I've reverted back to my tiny S6 and have sent repair request to OP. I haven't gotten anything back yet, so I thought in the mean time, I'd look for help on XDA and try to fix it before having the chance to send it in.
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
// EDIT
Figured out how to fix it. Used the MSMDownloadTool to unbrick my device. Worked wonders. Thanks to r/oneplus Discord
I did something like that I had to format data after I flashed the stock rom

How did you get to format? I really can't get into the OS or recovery at all
I was actually able to boot into TWRP maybe you can get into fastboot? And try flashing TWRP again

I'm able to get into fastboot, but even if I fastboot boot [insert twrp file name here], it'd still result in the blank screen and static LED
Hmm I don't know then sorry
Try
fastboot flash boot twrp.zip
Then
fastboot reboot
You will need to use full stock rom first before doing anything else though.
I was in the same boat as you the other day. I flashed different versions of twrp until i managed to boot one because some twrp isn't compatible with pie.
Lol I never wipe system...
Might sound like a "hard-bricking" issue since you cant boot into the OS nor recovery. There 's a hard brick recovery guide, but it'll put you down to oreo OOS: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/tool-msmdownloadtool-v4-0-international-t3798892
As long as you can boot into fastboot, you can follow the guide's process with no problem.
Today I tried to finally update to the latest version of crDroid, but ended up having a bunch of issues doing so, and after a lot of troubleshooting and trying to fix it, I ended up putting it into a bootloop of some sort instead.
I'm pretty sure the last thing I tried was installing a different version of TWRP to see if that version would let me properly install the rom, and stop my phone from always rebooting into recovery mode.
Trying to turn it on normally or boot into TWRP leaves it hanging on the "Redmi" boot screen, it can boot into fastboot mode though.
I'm guessing that the only way to recover my phone at this point is to flash the Official MIUI rom back onto the phone, but that also involves wiping Data and losing pretty much everything I've put on the phone.
I was smart enough to make a TWRP of the Data folder, but while making the backup, the console said it doesn't include all personal files or something.
How much of my personal data and files can I rescue from the phone in this state, and how can I do that before it gets wiped when fixing it?
Also, I think I really need some help in actually restoring my phone and flashing the custom rom properly.
No matter how much effort I put into figuring out how to do this stuff, unexpected issues always seem to happen, and turns something that initially seemed so simple into multiple hours of troubleshooting.
The only way I think i've gotten rom flashing to work at all was by wiping everything and installing the official MIUI rom, but I don't want to be losing my data every month when an update comes out.
So, could someone please help me get my phone working again?
Edit: I ended up fixing my own issue by ADB flashing on a different release of TWRP, and then installing fcrypt disabler after the rom but before everything else.

Unfortunately, I can't.
Trying to boot into TWRP just gets stuck on the 'Redmi' boot logo.
I just remembered that you can install TWRP over ADB, and that Peter's one says it works even when the system partition is empty, so maybe the issue is the TWRP I installed and could possibly undo this part of the issue over ADB.
It won't fix the issue preventing my from updating my rom, but recovery only is still better than a soft brick.
Edit: That worked, i've put Peter's TWRP back on, and it's launching into recovery mode/TWRP again now
twrp not boot after successfully flash in this rom

In the end, I did try orangefox, and it might have been part of why it worked.
However, the crDroid installation instructions specifically mentions using Peter's TWRP, so I initially used that one.

Thank you for the effort you put into typing up a guide to help me, but I ended up fixing my own problem.
I was able to use fastboot to flash on a better TWRP release, and then get the rom to install properly by installing fcrypt-disabler just after it.

If you can access fastboot, then flash TWRP.... Enter recovery, wipe your system partitions and then flash the Stock MIUI ROM or use the MiFlash tool. Make sure you aren't flashing an older version of the ROM than the onle already installed.

I have the same problem that stated after installing the update for derpfest and I can boot into twrp. Any solution for me?
Hi!
I have a poco f2 pro that was on the xiaomi.eu MIUI weekly.
Yesterday I installed a module for Magisk and got into a bootloop. From now everything's fine I usually know how to deal with this kind of stuff.
The mistake I did, is when I tried to boot into a new TWRP after flashing.
I did
Code:
fastboot flash boot ./twrp_xxx.img
instead of
Code:
fastboot flash recovery ./twrp_xxx.img
I tried many times flashing different boot.img without success, I didn't managed to install "magisk manager for recovery" so I did a clean flash of the rom, and then I even tried downloading the stock global from from https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/ and did a "flashall" without success (the phone boots on bootloader/recovery).
Fortunately I havent yet locked the bootloader so I can still flash everything.
Can someone help me figure out why my phone is doing this even after flashing everything please?
Did you try with Miflash?
try with MiFlash. Flash stock rom in fastboot mode
Hi! Thak you for the quick answer
I don't know why but I believed that the only thing miflash do is to execute the scripts from the folder.... I'll try this now

Before MiFlash try delete the Magisk module causing the bootloop, use TWRP File Manager. Magisk modules are located in /data/adb/modules

Well that the thing I tried when I accidentally replaced my boot partition... And my phone was only booting on twrp or fastboot... also the weird thing I found is that /data/adb didn't exist
But many thanks to you all it works now.
I'll maybe try to make a guide on how to install Magisk on the Xiaomi EU weekly rom, as android 11 is only supported by the canary build. (if I manage to find a way to properly remove defective modules in TWRP :fingers-crossed
Boot twrp via Fastboot. Download Rom, Install ROM (xiaomi.eu). This should fix ist already. Then you could test a bit, and eventually need to wipe data

That was the first thing I tried, but only miflash managed to bring my phone back to life , as current twrp doesn't like encrypted data partition (I don't know why but it won't mount /data and it says wrong password)
I think that's why I couldn't remove the defective module
If you want everything to work you need to format data!!
Thats the point why using android 11 roms is hard, twrp cant decrypt it (until you flash rom with a10 and then a11 because partition is encrypted in a10 style)

That's easy to fix, you installed Android 11 or? Don't use pin, use gesture. Twrp can't decrypt android 11 pin right now

NO flash only fastboot boot twrp.img
I installed lineageos 18.1 and TWRP on a Poco X3 Pro and would now like to restore everything back to default as much as possible. The guides I find with google all uses Xiaomi flash tool on windows. If necessary I could get a windows computer up and running to do this, but for me it would be easier to do in Linux. From this page I downloaded fastboot (tgz) version of V12.5.2.0.RJUEUXM. Unpacking this file there is a script flash_all.sh, which calls fastboot.
So the plan is: first wipe system, cache and userdata with TWRP. Then put phone in fastboot mode and run flash_all.sh. Then see that it boots up ok, and finally put the phone in fastboot mode again and run fastboot oem lock.
Could someone please confirm that I'm not doing something stupid here? (Yes of course the responsibility is all mine, etc).
I don't know if this help. But why not download MIUI recovery ROM, boot onto recovery, format, reboot recovery, put the ROM into storage via usb cable, then flash it, reboot system, and done. That's my personal experience from redmi note 8. Everything back to stock, except you still have TWRP installed.
And don't forget this will wipe EVERYTHING
