Missing Fastboot Rom File for MIUI 13? - Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Questions & Ans

Disclaimer: I don't know much about what I am doing, but I watched multiple tutorials and read articles.. would be really nice to get some help with that... hope you can bear with me
Hello, I am trying to root my Poco F2 Pro using Magisk.
I just wanted to the boot.img, so that I can modify it with Magisk, but I can't find the proper one (or... I am not sure whether this is the proper one).
On xiaomifirmwareupdater, I find the right MIUI version (V13.0.2.0.SJKEUXM); but it is the Recovery file, not the Fastboot file :/
When trying to download the ROM via the Phone (AboutPhone/MIUI-Version/Donwload latest package), the file is "corrupted" (I try to open it on my WIndows PC using Winrar, but it says it won't work)
Can someone help me, find the right fastboot ROM file please?
Or any other way, how to get to the boot.img, BUT without using the TWRP (I don't have it)?
Thank you very much and have a nice day

Quick update... I didn't want to risk flashing the wrong boot image... therefore downgraded to MIUI 12 (where there BOTH the Fastboot and recovery file are available).

same problem here, waiting for someone who can help
I will try this found it
in here

nice thank you!

Please help me! Cant install any ROM on my OnePlus!

Hi Everyone!
Because of having issues i can´t fix on my OnePlus, i´m finally asking for some professional help here, as it´s getting more and more complicated and i don´t want to ruin my phone.
What was my plan?
Installing CM11S 44S on my OPO, which had the 05Q Version as factory setting.
Also i wanted to install a franco kernel.
I hoped, if i do both steps successfully, my OPO will have a good battery life (44S seemed to be the most efficient version, according to some forums).
What did i do so far?
First i set up an adb backup for my data, but not for the OS. However, i installed SDK plus tools and drivers.
Next step was installing a new recovery, which is able to flash a new version of CM11S, so i set up TWRP with fastboot, which means my device is "unlocked" now.
Everything worked well so far, i also made an backup in TWRP.
The problem:
I wanted to reboot my OPO at some point and TWRP asked me for rooting my device. Accidentally i swiped over so it started rooting process, but i didn´t want to root it, so i immediately shut the device down.
By now TWRP recovery/fastboot is working, but my OS 05Q is lost and i can´t install a new ROM because im getting the Report:
--
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check; no MD5 file found
Error flashing zip /<path to .zip file>
--
Can anyone help me to get 05Q back or the 44S with the franco kernel?
I know there might be some other threads that deal with similar problems, but actually none of them helped me so far. For example: do i need a fastboot image or signed flashable zips (which i have)? In which order do i install the kernel and the ROM?
Some Information:
I can access my device via fastboot and my OPO is also shown as a adb device on my MAC.
When starting in TWRP, i can also access the device in USB Mode, transfering files is also possible.
I´m not really competent with android modding or programming, so i will need some noob-friendly answers, but i bet you guys know how to help me out here.
Thank you very much for your help, i really don´t know what to do anymore.
EDIT:
I found out how to place a md5 file to the referring version, but it still sais: MD5 does not match.
I´m so done with it right now that i wish i had my OPO back as it was few days ago.
Well, i cant really help here as i have not face this problem but ur mistake was that u Immediately shut the device down the moment it was installing root. It may have corrupted the partitions of the phone and left it at that state, so maybe restoring the partitions of that section may help. Like i said im not knowledgeable about this
Agreed, you shouldn't have shut down the phone while it was modifying a partition. The root wouldn't have mattered anyway because you were about to overwrite the system partition by flashing a ROM. Go to my guide thread and look at section 8 to flash the stock images for the build you desire:

Yes you can still use fastboot on a Mac, but you'll need to Google how to set it up on a Mac first.

Got stuck at step 2: It Terminal said error: cannot determine image filename for sbl1.mbn - although the name is correct and the file is in the correct folder :/
EDIT:
Fixed it, forgot to type sbl1 2 times, im sorry
And it worked, thank you sooooo much!!!

So now what can I upgrade my Stock ROM to?

Hello, I'm a noob at this so please be kind. I followed the below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tra...inners-guide-unlock-custom-rom-tf300-t3061648
I successfully:
Unlocked my TF300T's Bootloader
Installed custom recovery using fastboot
Rooted my tablet
Debloated the Tablet (Titanium Backup)
Backup up my current (OEM) SYSTEM ROM to microSD
So now I'm onto attempting a custom ROM. I'm a bit bored with 4.2.1 and would like to go to the same version of ROM my Note 7 has which is 6.0.1 Marshmallow or even try the new 7.0 Nougat.
I'm a little confused as to what ROM will or will not work. I see a few ROMS worth trying, but there install instructions reference a different Bootloader multiple flashes such as SuperSU or gapps.
Whats the best fool proof method to flash a new ROM with what I have and are there any simple one file ROM/ZIP/ Blob etc.. file that would do what I want?
Thank you.

Congratulations! Everything you did looks fine. So you are ready to install a custom rom. I would like to suggest one of the best: http://forum.xda-developers.com/transformer-tf300t/development/rom-t3453702 (You may follow up the tread and report there!)
Please take care very exactly on the installation instruction in post #1 given by Timduru. And don't forget that you need Kang TWRP [email protected] Download here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/transformer-tf300t/development/recovery-twrp-t3046479. That's mandatory!
Good luck!

Thanks. As simple as the process was, as a noob (first time attempting this) I was really concerned about screwing this up and bricking my tablet.
The one you linked to was one of the ones I was considering and hence my question regarding what works with what I have already done. The noob mind (mine anyways) finds a dozen questions at every turn. In this case I would ask the following:
Q-Do I have to use Kang TWRP?
Q-How is it different than the TWRP I used on my Tablet?
Q-Will I need to constantly change TWRP versions depending on what ROM I want to use?
Q-Is there a danger to switching TWRPs?
Q-Doesn't flashing SuperSU after I flash Gapps overright and erase SuperSU or is there some unique way to flash (push?) both at the same time?
Q-Many more I'm sure!
To the noob, almost all the instructions I read appear to be written for someone who as done this many times. The level of detail needed for the novice is just not there or lost between the jargon used, with many steps not fleshed out because the author assumes a certain level of expertise.
I will definitely read these threads as best I can, but in the interim, is there any ROM that are known to be able to be flashed via the TWRP I currently have? The author of the version I used certainly made it seem like it was that simple, load the ROM/ zip file onto the MicroSD card and when in Custom recovery simply use the INSTALL feature to navigate to the file and press a button to flash and ..."BAM!!" you are running a new ROM.

That version of KANG appears to be dead, as the thread has been closed and abondoned by the OP. So no new questions or help there....
Can I install that version over the top of my current version of TWRP the same way I did the first time? (change file to TWRP.blob etc.)

Please don't brick your tablet. First download Kang TWRP. It isn't dead. Try this https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347781183.

Yes you can.
However Kang TWRP is a xxx.img file. You also can use your current TWRP and flash the image file. Attached you will find an image and a zip version.

Ok, so if I read your comment correctly, I can copy the .img file to an SD card, boot into recovery and flash it from there OR I can fire up fastboot and the same steps I originally did to install custom recovery from my PC to accomplish the same thing... either way I should still have custom recovery, but with the KANG version. Right?
THANKS TO BOTH OF YOU FOR RESPONDING TO MY PREVIOUS POST. I appreciate the support.
Oh no....
Well crap. I put the .img file on my SD card and boot the tablet into recovery, I flashed the .img file to the rovery not boot partition. All appeared well....but when I go back to see if I have KANG recovery, it hangs anbd says Booting Failure Unrecoverable bootloader error (0x000000000)
EDIT: After I cleaned my pants, I used abd and fastboot to flash the original Blob file using my PC. This restored the custom recovery. I was freaking out for a few minutes.
I didn't change the file name of the kang .img file. Should I have done something different?
EDIT: Successful recovery to Kang2.8.7.2 !! :good::good: I used adb and my PC to send the .img file (renamed "twrpkang.img" for simplicity) and it worked great. I'm a pro..:silly:

Not sure what I did wrong. I tried to do it within the old recovery menu and it hosed it. It found the file and mounted it successfully, but it seemed weird to be within the partition I was overwriting and writing to it. Kind of like you cant install windows while your using Windows...
The new version is much smoother.... Thanks, not to learn about this gapps super SU and how to flash all of these and in what order along with the ROM..as well as this wipe vs format thing...so confusing...

Firmware updates for daisy

Hello guys, a brief introduction; All the Xiaomi devices running Miui roms out of the box have a dedicated firmware but I didn´t find for those based on Android One or atleast for Daisy.
Every rom requires a specific Firmware to work well so I´ll share the most used here.
This is intended to flash it as a base to avoid the tedious process to flash the whole rom through MiFlash tool.
But be advised although that some times could be required to do a clean flash through MiFlash tool, for some roms or to fix missed partitions being the case as happen too with all the rest of Xiaomi devices and some times flashing the firmware and the vendor from the same version through fastboot will be enough.
I hope that it´ll be useful, please hit thanks if it works, test it, report and share with others the results.

They´re for Daisy, stock rom is Android One.
Are these just a repack of the fastboot ROMs available from xiaomi?
They are already listed here. And are .tar.gz rather than .zip

Fastboot rom is the whole rom including system, userdata, and more as you know to be flashed through fastboot directly or using a tool like MiFlash but these are not a repack but a flashable zip the way that all the update process to switch to other rom can be done while in TWRP.
Cause all my previous devices were running Miui they had available firmwares and never need to flash all the rom as a base for custom roms and since I bought this device I missed this feature.
Here you have a reference what I´m talking about https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com

Yes, as any flashable zip, recommendable as first step (as a base) after to make the wipes and before the other required steps.

If you refer to the whole rom yes, it does. Other Xiaomi devices have a fastboot (tar) and also a recovery (zip) but TWRP must be adapted to work with.
Thank you for this, it is really helpful.
Last night I played with offains TWRP 3.3.1-0 and restored a firmware backup, but it only got deleted and restoring failed.
Then I flashed your 10.3.0 file and all is good. You also put a custom dark splash.img in it, which I really like (was too lazy to create my own). :good:

Do you have also the newest firmware 10.0.15? I have a bug with screen rotation (not longer works after a few hours), i hope firmware 10.0.15 is the solution because because I read that a screen rotation error is known.

Firmware is based on major updates i.e. on fastboot global images (full rom) when all partitions are modified but is not included in OTA updates (incremental rom) when mostly only system and vendor (sometimes also kernel) receive modifications but all the other partitions remain untouched.
To better understanding the three next OTA updates (v10.0.14.0, v10.0.15.0 and v10.0.16.0) are using as base v10.0.13.0 firmware.
Just appear the next full rom I will upload it but hopefully it is 10.
Great Job !

Hello Dear SubwayChamp,
It Will Be Very Helpful For US. Thank You Once Again...
Thanks for updating this to 10.0.13.
I wanted to create my own file and have some questions about the file emmc_appsboot.mbn
1. The updater script flashes the above file as an img file. Is it ok to just rename the mbn file or is a program like HxD Hex Editor needed?
2. In your 10.0.13 version there is only the mbn file but not the img file, is that ok? In your 10.0.3 file there is only the img file and in 10.0.9 there are both, so I'm a little confused.
I am seeing a few custom Android 10 roms out there, with the Android 9 base firmware, is not better wait for the android 10 base firmware? and the source code for the kernel.

Hi, I switched to other devices since I uploaded these files, anyway thanks for notice that, there was an error on the typo in versions 9, 12 and 13.
Xiaomi fastboot ROMs are mirrored on a lot of sites and I don´t remember now from where I downloaded it and I duplicated from inside the version 10.0.9, it wasn´t right, now all the files were re-uploaded and corrected.
As per mbn files can´t be simply renamed as image, you can look inside and change some values with a HEX editor but is not a good idea to make this without a solid knowledge so it may get corrupted and flashing a corrupted bootloader can seriously brick your device anyway don´t worry about so no need to change nothing, TWRP will place the images in the right places/partitions as they´re originally inside the fastboot ROMs.

Help rooting phone received from beta testing.

I signed up for a beta test on centernode and received a smartphone to test. The phone is so new that I cannot find any information about it on the internet. The bootloader is unlocked on it. I was reading that you can use magisk to root any device with an unlocked bootloader and system image. Since the phone is so new I cannot find a system image. Is it still possible to root the device? Is there a way I can backup the stock ROM and create a system image that way? Is there something else that will work? I really want to root the device because it came with a preinstalled app which is a system booster type app. It will not let me uninstall it, disable it, or force stop it. When I install my app for my alarm clock it keeps killing the app and the alarm will not go off. I have went through all of the app settings and cannot get it to stop. It also keeps interfering with my VPN. I would also like to root th device to remove some of the bloatware and to have access to the HOST file. Could someone please help me this? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks guys!
I'm not known for giving good advice but if I was in your situation I would try to install the lastest version of Magisk and hope for the best. Knowing how I am it would be driving me nuts wondering if it would work.
That booster app, have you tried uninstalling it with adb?

Hey, thanks for your reply. I am really eager to root it. I almost just went for it. However, then I thought about it. If something went wrong I would not have any way to recover the phone since there is not a system image available yet. I have not given adb removal a try yet as I figure it would just be easier to go with rooting since it will help me with everything I am trying to achieve. If I cannot root it then I will go the adb route. Hopefully someone will come along and help me out. Fingers crossed
Let us know what you end up doing. Are you expected to send the phone back after the beta testing? If you are responsible for any damages done to it, I would not try it.
You could send it back bricked and say you have no idea what happened to it, lol. That or say you were "testing" the security of the device and that it passes

If you have the firmware then you're in luck (especially if it's the full one)
Download a program for windows called "Payload Dumper"
Open the zip (firmware) and copy out the payload.bin file.
Copy this to the input folder from payload dumper.
Run the exe for payload dumper
It'll output a bunch of files to output folder
You'll see a boot.img file this is essentially the file you use to boot your phone and also where magisk would reside too.
Copy this to your phone.
Install the latest Magisk then open it
Click install and then patch a file, navigate to the boot.img
Click the boot.img and it'll output a file to "SDcard\Downloads" usually called magisk_patched.img
Copy this to your fastboot folder on your computer and open a CMD / Powershell command to that location.
Then boot to fastboot / bootloader mode
Then type:
fastboot boot "name of patched boot.img"
eg:
fastboot boot magisk_patched.img
The phone will boot
From this point you are rooted but you need to make it permanent as you haven't flashed the boot sector at this point, you're only booting an image, if you were to reboot you'd lose it.
Open Magisk again then click install again.
Now instead of just seeing patch a file you'll see "Install Directly" + "Install after an OTA"
Click Install directly, allow it to finish, then reboot.
You're now fully rooted.
Heres my guides for the oneplus 8 pro, don't use the images there as they're for the 8 pro, you also can download payload dumper from there too.

Hi all, Have seen a lot of requests for patched boot images on these threads so thought i'd share a guide on how to get it yourself as well as all the files required, plus the patched boot.img if you just want to go ahead and boot/flash it...

IT's easy.
Good luck

If you have the firmware then you're in luck (especially if it's the full one)
Download a program for windows called "Payload Dumper"
Open the zip (firmware) and copy out the payload.bin file.
Copy this to the input folder from payload dumper.
Run the exe for payload dumper
It'll output a bunch of files to output folder
You'll see a boot.img file this is essentially the file you use to boot your phone and also where magisk would reside too.
Copy this to your phone.
Install the latest Magisk then open it
Click install and then patch a file, navigate to the boot.img
Click the boot.img and it'll output a file to "SDcard\Downloads" usually called magisk_patched.img
Copy this to your fastboot folder on your computer and open a CMD / Powershell command to that location.
Then boot to fastboot / bootloader mode
Then type:
fastboot boot "name of patched boot.img"
eg:
fastboot boot magisk_patched.img

So it sounds like since this is a beta device and I cannot find a firmware image in out of luck?
I guess the only other option I have is finding someone who can port twrp for my device. Then I can just root via TWRP. However, from what I have read that might not even be an option as Android 11 mostly has to be rooted the hard way which you have gave instructions on above.
Can anyone think of anything else I can try?

You can also extract the boot image... Can't remember the commands for this via ADB, Google ADB extract boot.img

Awesome this is exactly what I was trying to figure out in my original post. Since there is no stock firmware available yet (beta unit) what is the best way to backup the device so I do not get a brick in the process? Thanks again for your help.

An actual back up? Probably twrp if available.
If not then you'd need a recovery method.
So providing you have a recovery solution you should be fine.

Ahhh okay since it is a beta device no one has made TWRP for it yet. What do you think the risk is of manually pulling the boot img, patching, and flashing is? If I can get that to work I will try to port twrp to the device. Thanks again for the help.

You're very welcome.
Chances of it not booting after doing that? Absolutely zero.
It's a copy not a cut, so you're fine.
The only problem you may encounter is the ability to access the device on that level.
Just turn on usb debugging and make sure ADB works as it should be checking on ADB devices.
Then go ahead with the pull.
You'll be fine.
Also once you have the boot.img if the patched one doesn't work then just reboot and you're back to normal.
I would advise against flashing it, just boot it.

You can't simply run
Code:
adb devices
adb pull boot.img > C:\boot.img
to clone phone's boot.img to PC.
The correct way is described here

I did not say that you could?? I said pull it.
Before that I said look it up / Google it
Thanks for your help guys I appreciate it greatly. I am going to give this a try today. I will report back and let you guys know how it goes.
One last question. Since this beta unit I got is a tracfone branded unit with an unlocked bootloader is it possible that they could push a firmware which will lock the bootloader at some point? If so is there any way to prevent that from happening? Thanks again for all your help.

Possible yes, but I doubt they would do that.
Is it an ambassador phone? Or for testing?
Locking the bootloader wipes the phone so I wouldn't imagine they'd do that without forewarning.
Plus locking a bootloader comes with its risks too, so you could say that it broke from the update.
But it won't come to that, I've had several ambassador phones myself and honestly they're fire and forget for the most part, I wouldn't worry about it

It is a phone for testing which I am allowed to keep. Specs are Snapdragon 750g, Adreno 619, and 4gb of ram. Not too shabby for a free phone. It is a lot snappier than the moto e6 I was previously using.

This method requires TWRP. So this will not work.

Again!!!? What's your problem??
You're just trying to (for whatever reason) prove me wrong and yet again I wasn't being descriptive of an ADB pull!!!
You're pulling the boot.img off the device by whatever means.
To be clear for the final time, I'm not stating to use twrp, a script or anything else I said look it up / Google it!
Now if you've helped the chap then that's great, looking at what I said and attempting to put me straight when you clearly don't have to, is no help to you or the chap needing help it's just making you look like you're on a power trip.

I'm just trying to get some help here guys that's it. I appreciate everyone's efforts and opinions. Let's all try to work together and try to find a solution peacefully please.
So far I have adb installed and working. I have tried to use the commands I was able to locate via google. So far nothing works. I have also tried uninstalling some programs using adb which did not work. I think I am going to have to find someone who could port twrp for me

Question payload.bin flash xiaomi via fastboot

Sorry for my bad English. I want to flash the beta.payload.bin via fastboot mode. The Chinese Beta can only be installed at a Level 4 rank at Xiaomi so far.... I want to unzip the img's and install them with the script flash.all.bat. Does anyone have an idea if this works? Thank you for the answers!
There is only one fastboot ROM for MIU 15 Beta, the 14.0.22.12.12 DEV
This is the only one that can be flashed via fastboot.
all the newer ones are recovery ROMs that can't be flashed with fastboot.
At least not in the normal way. There seems to be some Magisk module that can rlash those Beta roms but I have not found it yet...
Thank you for your answer! I will follow your tip for a Magisk module. Until then

Please let me know if you find something working.
The only one I've found till now is a module Magic Flash Tool but this one is only for flashing small things like MODs and patches. Not Full ROMs...
There is now an even newer MIUI14 ROM that is Stable Beta V14.0.2.0.TLRCNXM but still only a Recovery ROM, no Fastboot one...
IT IS the 127 Error Code

I think you will find what you are looking for in here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-payload-bin-using-payload-dumper-go.4468781/
You might need to edit flash.all.bat as some file names might be a little different but please let us know how it went.
