Problem flashing roms via miflash - Xiaomi Redmi 2 Questions & Answers

Hello, today i downloaded the latest stable KK rom, and the China miui8 to do some tests in the new China rom, but couldnt flash because there was a error of "cant find flash_all, flash_except_storage, or even flash_except_data_storage. Bats. So i looked into the zip and there was no bats inside the folder.
I know i can simply try to flash via TWRP, but if i do that can i be able to reflash 4.4 rom via TWRP too if i want to come back? Last time i flashedLP bootloader , it wouldnt let me come back via recovery to KK bootloader. Only via miflash. Please give me some clarification if any of you already tried it! :laugh:

Maybe you are using the wrong rom update package. The recovery rom is different from fastboot rom. If you are trying to flash this "miui_HM2XWC_6.6.23_a0619b1eb0_4.4" package then this is for recovery procedure only. You should download the fastboot (rom) version.

I downloaded both ones, LP rom for recovery and about 3 KK rom for fastboot(miflash). But the fastboot ones are missing the bat files, so i cant flash.
If you have any full download link please share xD

We need to know your model #. (Ex. 2014817 in my case) because flashing wrong model # of rom will give you problems with (service provider) radio signals.
I'm only downloading from official MIUI site.

thanks but.. the phone isnt starting that's why i have to flash a firmware..so i can't check what firmware i have..
The flashing process failed at half of it..:/......
Just pick one of the latest.
btw if the flashing of the recovery fails then just try the standard stuff
- different usb port
- different cable

Why did you want to flash a custom recovery, to just flash a custom rom? If so, then just flash the custom recovery again and then flash the custom rom you want.
And why would you just flash the ap file if the firmware has more files? Makes no sense to me.

Help, I cant flash marshmellow!

Hey, i cant flash my C432B524 rom in the stock recovery, can someone help me?
My current rom is, C432B188, im not rooted but my bootloader is unlocked.
Try out TWRP and flash the .zip with it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/development/testing-twrp-2-8-7-x-huawei-p8lite-qcom-t3187758
You cant flash a zip with the stock recovery.
Or were you trying to update via local update and an update.app? And where did you get the version that you tried to flash? Go read on this forum. Theres a search that might help you too.
Have a nice evening
I was trying to install the update.app file from stock recovery and it doesnt work :/

Latest Firmware for x727?

Hi,
Having a hard time finding the latest (assume 21s?) firmware files i can flash. I know theres a full stock flashable zip but afaik I can't flash the bits I need from that. Anyone got the relevant files?

There is not big rom on X727 after firmware 5.8.019s, just OTA update. If you are on Locked bootloader / Stock Recovery you can download the update 21s and flash it via Update App.... Or rename de ota file to "update.zip" and flash it on Stock Recovery (Power + VOLUME +).
If you want a 21S or 23s complete Rom, you must to unlock bootloader and flash Custom recovery, then you can flash a 21s like VillarLeg o Mauro v2.2 23s... Good luck!

Firmware is 50mb zip file . the files are taken from fastboot rom and zip is made.
These files updates ur hidden partition like modem, bootloader, firmware of cam, audio, wifi, blueooth.
U dont need to flash firmware with every rom. It is flashed only once and stored permanantly in those partition. Format and wipe doesnt erase it.
Flash Only if u r officially unlocked bootloader by official method.
Flash only global file. Other one is china.

No rules. U can flash firmware any time . Its stored in hidden permanent partition.
Roms , gapps and kernels are flashed in system ,data , cache and dalvik and boot partition. Which can be erased or formatted using factory reset command or format command.

Save it in ur brain that U r unofficial unlocked. U r not supposes to flash firmware. Do not flash miui firmware or miui rom using twrp.
U can only Flash custom rom and gapps.
Also update ur zcx twrp . use latest twrp official 3.2.3.

ignore what the guy said, he's clueless. you want to make sure you are on MM bootloader (unofficially unlocked from a android marshmellow official ROM), install the latest official TWRP (you can do it through ZCX, just flash the recovery image like you flash a ROM, just change it to flash recovery in TWRP), and download firmware without emmc_appsboot.mbn (i'm sure you can find it on XDA). if you flash firmware with emmc_appsboot.mbn you will brick your device. you might have issues with encryption, so if you do, you just wanna wipe data. after that flash in the order you said above - firmware, ROM, gapps and then reboot.

Flash rom in edl mode. Use edl zip to put phone in edl mode. Run reboot file to put phone in edl mode.
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424940129
After flashing Then u can use ur unlocking and zcx method. And update to latest twrp official 3.2.3
Flash only rom and gapps using latest twrp 3.2.3
No need to flash any firmware after that. Coz u r on latest firmware already..
Use OrangeFox twrp.

what is the best firmware. stable or the dev
Lol........:laugh: u r one true masterpiece.
Are u pretending dumb or r u truly one.. I already explained u . still u prefer to listen to noobs.
U dont need firmware if u flashed and come from 10.2 fastboot rom.
Firmware is nothing different but it is extracted from miui fastboot rom itself.
May God bless ur soul..
You don't even need an unlocked bootloader to flash custom ROMs anymore... Forget about bootloader stuff. But you will need an updated recovery... Flash latest twrp in twrp then you should be able to do custom roms. Latest havac for pie is the best from my experience. You'll need the latest firmware for it though
