DO NOT FLASH HYDROGEN ROMS ON HELIUM, OR YOU GONNA HAVE A HARDBRICK.
IN CASE YOU HAVE ONE, HERE IS THE SOLUTION.
This was tested with Xiaomi Mi Max 128GB helium and localized rom from xiaomi eu.
I am not responsible for bricked devices or anything else. So at your own risk:
1. Install official MiPhone drivers
2. Download and install MiFash beta.
3. Download and unpack TWRP for miflash: 32gb or 64-128gb thanks @Abdess76.
4. Download ROM for your device, I recommend to try this one. You can install RR/CM Rom as well.
5. Run MiFlash with admin rights.
6. Turn off the phone, plug the cable to PC and halfway to the phone.
7. At the same time press Volume + and Volume - and plug in the cable.
8. Refresh MiFlash phone should show up. (If it didn't then make sure you did it right and u got drivers)
9. Navigate to your unpacked TWRP and flash it.
10. Now, boot ur phone with volume up. It's a bit slow. If it's stuck on miui logo, just release button and wait.
From here start to pay more attention:
11. TWRP can ask for password, press cancel and allow modifications by moving slider.
If you just need ROOT and your current rom, skip to the step 16. Also there is a recovery from boot in system folder. If you won't remove it, recovery may be replaced with stock one after reboot. Keep it that way if you want OTAs.
12. Format data.
13. Enable MTP and put modified zip in your phone.
14. Go to mounts and unmount system **
15. Flash your rom.
16. Flash latest supersu.
17. Reboot the phone.
In case u got NO OS message, then it means that u probably ignored step 15.
Also first boot may take like 15-20 minutes, since eu rom is deodexed.
Just to be sure, after installation mount system partition and navigate to the /system folder using TWRP's file manager and make sure it's not empty.
* In my case system didn't install because script could mount system partition since it was already mounted.
P.S. In order to update, you need to install OTA for offical rom via TWRP. Then without rebooting flash SuperSU, and finally using TWRP's file manager navigate to system folder and delete file named recovery from boot. Doing so will keep root and recovery.
Thank you so much for the guide! I will try it tonite
Waiting for boot loader is just too long..
WOW!!!! Just, wow..... I can not believe it but it worked like a charm. It took me forever to figure out my issue with the drivers, but after solving that I followed you step-by-step. And, lo and behold, it WORKED! Note for other users, Twrp took about a minute or two to finally boot up and it took me personally about 15-20 minutes before MIUI 8 finally booted. Just wait it out and you should have the amazing results that Doom Slayer has so graciously provided you
THANK YOU!!!!
I just done following your guide and it works!!
For rooting, I tried 2 times before it works. I believe you missed out a step to mount back system before flashing supersu.
So in the future, how do we dirty flash? Start from step 13?
How about clean flash? Start from step 12?
Thank you once again for this great guide!!
You saved me a lot of time waiting for Bootloader approval.

Yeah, dirty flash is you keep your data and format system and caches .
Clean flash is u format data as well.
The thing is that u have root, and ur phone is also secured. It's linked to ur Mi account, while it's locked. It's better to keep that way
Theoretically If you will ignore steps from 12 to 16. (Maybe u can ignore data formatting too)
Then you can get a ROOT and TWRP on your current rom.
And also theoretically while on miui 8 rom ,u can try to unlock bootloader without waiting.
Try this manual.
I have followed these steps and bricked my phone, spent the last 24h trying to recover it no luck.
I got an error while in the process of flashing the rom at step 16, then tried again and phone went black, stopped responding.
It's not detected using adb or fast boot, it appears in device manager as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" or "Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E", I have tried to flash again TWRP or the official ROM, it says success every time but the phone is still dead.
Could it be due to locked boot loader ?

Which rom did u flash, give the link please.
Are u sure it's for your version? It can be a broken file as well.
Does the device connects when u hold both volume buttons?
It's called emergency download mode, u can istall rom with miflasher.
There is a testpoint method also.
All u need is a pic from this post on http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=749580&st=700#entry51154086
U need to disconect battery, connect testpoint to battery and flash ur device with miflash.
After that let it charge, since this in your state phone consumes battery.
thanks for you answer, I flashed the MiMAXPRO EU ROM xiaomi.eu_multi_MIMAXPro_6.8.4_v8-6.0.zip (sorry as a new user not allowed to post a link yet)
When I hold both volume buttons the screen is still black but MI Flasher works with COM10, after flashing a ROM or TWRP again MIFlash says "success" but the phone is still dead and won't start up even after holding power button for a long time.
I'm happy to open the phone and try the method on the russian forum, I will try tomorrow hope it will start up

Don't worry about your phone, the testpoint method will work for sure.
But in order to prevent this kind of situations ,we need to determine the reason how did it happen and you need to help me with that one by answering following questions:
1) You have mentioned that you had an error 1st time.
I also had error which was cache related, and it's OK because that partition was just formatted. You tried to flash again... but did you unmount your system partition for second time?
2) What's the capacity of your internal storage?
3) Did you use internal or external storage? If external then I need the model and the file system that have been used on that storage.

Hello,
I managed to recover the phone, I installed a fresh windows 7 on another PC with only MI Flash Beta installed, device appeared as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" as usual and I flashed the china ROM. Not sure why it wouldn't start previously after flashing, maybe issue with drivers.
1) unfortunately I don;t remember the syntax of the error, it was after a few seconds of flashing but the process seemed interrupted, I even googled it but my browser history has been purged.
2) 64GB (Helium)
3)I used internal storage, copied the zip on the phone using MTP.
Might try to go through the process again this weekend.

Well, I guess system was mounted and it gived u the error,but formatted it.
hi to all of you. I am very interested by this thread. Here is the story. I received my brand new mi max helium this week but it was the chinese rom. I am in France and my country did not appear in the settings. So I wanted to flash a global rom. I plugged it to my pc in recovery mode and a window appeared said that there is an update. I clicked ok and after a while I got stuck in the mi logo bootloop.
Then from then I tried everything possible from several solutions here, but nothing worked. What I got is the mi logo without bootloop, but nothing more.
I get the message that the bootloader is locked, but I can't get it unlock if it is in this state.
What I can reach is the recovery mode and the fastboot mode. But nothing else worked, flash or anything.
That is why I am interested to flash a recovery, in order to flash a clean rom, etc..
I did what you, Doom Slayer, explains, but I could not get a twrp flash. It ends with "receiving hello packet" in mi flash, and every thing stopped.
If I cannnot install any recovery, I cannot flash a rom.
So please if you have any suggestion, it would be helpful. Thanks a lot.

Did you disable drivers signature?
Also some people have a better luck on windows 7, u can try a virtual machine.
If you can enter EDL mode, then you should be fine.
Unless Chinese already disabled it in a new update.
I would blame drivers. Make sure u got them correctly.
Updated tutorial.
Uploaded TWRP for helium, so you don't need to edit updater script anymore, since script will get correct model.
Now you can try to get root on your current rom and unlock bootloader without Xiaomi's confirmation.
People having helium with unlocked bootloader may also have problems installing roms from xiaomi eu, if they have TWRP from hydrogen.
You may update using my recovery.img from archive using fastboot, or TWRP(will also work for locked bootloader).

hi Doom. Thank you for reply. But what do you mean by " disable drivers signature". I did not do anything but install the drivers and when I am on what I think is EDL mode(screen isi black) the driver is recognized as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008(COM20).
Anyway, I will give another try and let you know. Thank you again.

I followed your guide and I could get the twrp installed. So I tried to install rom(following your link). It said rebooting in 5 seconds, and then nothing. The screen is black, no power anymore, no logo, no vibes, and no life at all.
I cannot get any more reaction from it. I plugged it to my pc, but nothing is connected. I was so happy with twrp working... Any idea?...
one more information I don't know if it can help, when I flashed first, I tried the "xiaomi.eu_multi_MIMAXPro_6.8.4_v8-6.0" and a message said "failed. This rom is for helium and this is hydrogen phone". Which is strange because mine is helium(4GB/128GB).
Then I tried with the "xiaomi.eu_multi_MIMAX_V7.5.6.0.MBCCNDE_v7-6.0" rom, and everything got ok, last message "success. The phone will reboot in 5 seconds", and from then, dead all over...

Looks like you installed hydrogen TWRP and that caused all your problems.
I've been very careful to install the helium twrp from this thread...
Today I got my new Xiaomi 3S (4G, 3GB RAM, 32GB ROM) played around with it a little bit and disabled all Google Apps to be found on the phone Except Google Services that couldn't be disabled.
Connected it via WLAN and got promptly OTA offered. I didn't wrote down the MIUI and Android builds but remember manufacturing date August 2016, MIUI was version 7 something.
After the updates where downloaded I was asked to reboot the device what I confirmed and the updates where installed. Now the phone is stuck with a black screen and white "MI Powered By Android" on it.
Nothing changed since 3 hours now. Any idea what to do?
Phone can't even be turned off/does not recognize hardware button presses.
This is a known issue, disabling google apps causes issues . You should now try following this guide http://en.miui.com/thread-327861-1-1.html

Thanks a lot for your reply, tried it already yesterday while the Phone was in endless boot queue without luck, hence the non working buttons update.
But today after the battery was emptied over night I got into the recovery mode menu!
Just a question before I go ahead to follow the step by step guide:
Though I read this thread/vote I'm non the smarter. If I want to go google free, Xiaomi Global or Xiaomi EU ROM?
I'd also use XPosed framework with XPrivacy again. IMUI seems nice, is CM 13 the only alternative for non google/XPosed/Xprivacy then?
I currently have a 3s prime but it's a present for my son so haven't flashed anything, just take ota's. I have read quite a bit though and you should maybe just check the rom threads for roms with separate gapps packages, that way you could remove what you want prior to flashing. Don't know about xposed but again, ask in the rom threads. [emoji106]
Update: No success, when going into recovery mode (pushing volume up and power button) and choose download mode the phone will just reboot into endless boot-loop.
For people with the same problem (after disabling google apps) maybe they can get their device back to work with this http://en.miui.com/thread-378963-1-1.html
The only Way to get you phone back is to use a Deep Flash Cable i think
I was able to solve the problem by installing a fastboot-rom. Pressing power button and volume + for around 20 seconds got me into recovery menu.
Than I was just following a guide to install an original MIUI rom on devices with locked bootloader.
well to get to download mode you can enter "fastboot oem edl" without the "" and you will go to edl from fastboot mode. HOPE THIS HELPS

Now I know why my phone went into a bootloop. Won't disable any Google apps anymore.
Disabling any apps in MIUI8 will cause the phone cannot reboot... you can format everything through a recovery (have to flash manually because it doesn't come with recovery), or flash a new ROM through fastboot mode (if you have unlocked your bootloader), or send back to service center to claim warranty (if there is any service center in your area), or throw it and buy a new one

I have same problem but in my case developer option is locked so oem is off and thus port COM10 is not being shown in Miflash, also fastboot oem edl says device is locked, oem edl is not allowed. In my case 3s prime went into bootloop while Iwas using youtube. Please help!!
Hi everyone!
I have bougth a Redmi Pro on Gearbest and it came with Chinese/English Version of MIUI.
After a week of usage, i turned off my xiaomi and when i turned back on, it stucked on a Mi logo. Far as i discovered searching on web, it was a bug that other peopel have reported too.
I took a opportunity of having this bug to fix, to put other rom on the phone. A rom with Portuguese language witch is my mother lang.
I tried to put the new rom via "SP Flash took" with the fastboot mod but without success.
I requested the unlocking on Xiaomi Unlocking site and when they repplyed and i connected the xiaomi to the computer, the program (XiaomiMiFlash) gave me an error message telling ""Couldn´t verify device. Current account is diferent from the account info in the device"
No i can´t do nothing with the phone.
Can you guys have some idea how can i solve this?
Thank you all!
There is a good chance that the phone is already unlocked.
What was the problem with fastboot? Maybe drivers issue?
Have you tried flashing TWRP? If it takes then the phone is unlocked and you can proceed with flashing the xiaomi.eu or globerom.

Tks 4 the support!
About the Fastboot i putted the phone on fastboot mode and i disabled the Driver Signature Enforcement on Windows. I connected the phone to the computer and started to run the SP Flash Tool. After the process was completed it wont gave me any result because the phone still stucked on Mi logo..
I did'n tried the TWRP because in every tutorial tells me that i need to go to the Developer Mode and activate the USB debugging i can not access to that because the phone don't give me more than the Mi logo.
hmm the fastboot method should have worked. Have you tried it on another computer, maybe 32bit windows?
When finished flashing with miflash in fastboot did it say it was ok at the end or did it give you an error? Als tried to reboot a few times after flashing without usb cable in the phone?

Im losing my mind!
I tried again in my father's desktop wich have a 64bit windows 7 (I havent a 32 bit at home. I will try to get one borrowed)
I tried with the SP Flash Tool following a guide from "xiaomitips" and, in this computer, the program dornt even recognize my phone. I push the Download button but that give me no signal.
Is there any other way to do this? Other ways to put the rom in the phone? (Sorry the noob language)

I'm out of ideas at this point.
I had some trouble with fastboot that my phone did restart when in fastboot mode.
Then i had to change the order of plugging in the cable and starting the program but after that all worked.
No idea what next ...
I had this issue with a Redmi 3. I can't remember the exact solution but I believe you have to have the developer ROM installed in order to unlock the bootloader. Maybe if you search for an anterior model such as the Redmi 3 you will find more information on how to load your ROM. I'm sure that it's the same method for most Xiaomi phones. Good luck!
I heard about do a Hard Reset but i dont know how to do that because i cant access to the OS of the xiaomi.
Is there a way to do a hard reset with the xiaomi stucked on Mi logo?
Tks!
Happy 2017 for all!
I tried to put my phone one Recovery Mode but it is blocked. Its like the phone on this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTzdQpex7BQ
How can i unlock this?
I never could get into the xiaomi recovery either but i managed to flash twrp through fastboot though.

Hi
Does your problem with sp flashtools and flashing the ROM be solved ?
Sent from my Redmi Pro
I had this problem, but I'd installed TWRP already. But you shouldn't need USB Debugging on to flash TWRP. If you manage to flash TWRP, flash a new ROM (I recommend xiaomi.eu (I think they have Portuguese)) and wipe the Dalvik cache, /cache, and /data (you probably won't have to wipe /data/media).
Miui themes
Sorry will start new item
Have you tried a different cable, that is why mine wasn't recognized at first.
I'm having the same problem here. The phone rebooted itself when I changed the locale, and hung at the Mi logo. I already had TWRP flashed. I also took the opportunity to install a new ROM; the Global Dev ROM. It installed with no errors and I wiped the Dalvik, cache, etc. Still hangs at the Mi logo, but this time without the little loading dots at the bottom. Any suggestions?
Update: I can bring it back to the original state with the loading dots and "powered by Android" at the bottom with a backup I took before flashing the new rom, but still no progress.
I managed to restore my phone using the video:
Flash Xiaomi Redmi Pro Using SP Flash Tool [Locked Bootloader]
I can't post links since I don't have enough posts here yet, but search for it on Youtube.
Update: It seems like the unlocking permissions on my account have been retroactively rejected, I wonder if that has something to do with it. I also can't seem to find the Global ROM for the Redmi Pro anymore, just the China one. Does anyone have a link for the official Global ROM on the Xiaomi site?
Update 2: Suddenly I have unlock permission again, without reapplying, so that's cool. I installed the Eu HMPro ROM, everything's working well so far.

You could try dowloading the official rom and then download the CHINESE version of mipc suite then enter fastboot and connect the phone
Normally the chinese mi pcsuite automaticly detects the phone is in fastboot mode, you could use google translate to translate it all just choose redmi pro on model selector (the top selection bar)the text there is untranslateable just choose the one that says pro
And then under it chose the one that translate to chinese
After That there's two tick box under it, choose the ROM you downloaded
After that chose the one that translate to install brush package, if it doesn't work choose the download brush package next to it
Thus method worked for me when my phone bricked hope it helps you
I am an Yu Yureka user starting March, 2015. I have waited 2 years to get the Marshmallow update through OTG before getting root. But this new update is full of glitches such as
1. When my phone is switched off and charging no percentage of charge completion is shown.
2. When pictures taken in HDR mode, camera screen turns green and stay like that until the phone is restarted. Also the picture quality degraded.
3. This new update takes away the advanced reboot option which was under the Developer Options( in Lollipop), so there is no way to go into recovery mode without connecting phone to pc through usb.
Now coming to the main part,
4. There is nothing that can root my phone. Starting from phone applications to pc applications nothing can root it.:crying:
5. So I tried the cmd Process by using command window through PC by unlocking my Bootloader first, after that I installed TWRP.
6. When the above processes were successful, I transferred the Supersu Zip file in the internal and external of my phone and then executed them from TWRP. Surprisingly it was also successful.:good:
7. Now when I turned my phone on and checked with 2 different root checker apps, my phone was still not rooted.:crying:
8. Then I probably tried the Supersu installation more than 10 times, factory reset it more than I can even remember but still nothing.
9. My phone developed a new problem that is it randomly reboots itself.:crying:
If anyone knows any solution to the above problems, specially on how to successfully root my Yu Yureka, plz help me. I lost all my hope and confidence.
Thank You for taking your time and reading this.
I don't know if u have done stuffs properly....so here's the thing...IF U R RUNNING LOLLIPOP OR ABOVE!!!!!! then------------
1. Download latest TWRP from the official site and flash it
2. Flash any latest nougat based roms like ---- lineage os, official RR, aosp extended etc. (there r so much astonishingly beautiful roms and i can't name all of them....please don't mind devs )
X. Flash GApps if you want to from here : opengapps.org (arm64,7.1.x,pico variant)
3. Very imp. for you !!!!!!Flash magisk (latest v13.3) from here : (tiny.cc/latestmagisk) and flash it
P.S. Lineage might not support magisk so you have flash there supersu addon which can be found on their official website (in device tree on the left side search for "extras" on the very last option)

Revive Dead/Hard Bricked/Dead after Flash/LED doesn't light up the phone - K8 Note (XT1902-3)
If you tried to downgrade from Oreo to Nougat and your device is hard-bricked. Don't worry, follow the procedure below...
1. If your device is fully hard bricked and doesn't boot up by pressing the power button, and also the white LED light doesn't light up while u connect the charger/power on the USB to the PC. Try pressing all the 3 buttons, Volume Up+Volume Down+Power Button for about 25-30 seconds and connect your phone through USB to SP Flash Tool (install all drivers before as said in step 3) and see whether it detects your phone (If it detects, go to step 3). If this also didn't work, don't get panic - follow step 2 (Dismantling your device - the only way to recover. But be cautious while doing it, use proper tools).
2. Remove your phone back cover carefully and disconnect the battery connector as shown in the video
. Use proper tools and a screwdriver. Connect the charger and see now, the LED light will blink surely (If it doesn't blink now also, then it's a hardware problem, you should go to the service centre only).
3. If the LED light blinks properly, then go to SP Flash Tool (download the latest version here - https://androidmtk.com/smart-phone-flash-tool), and in Options->Option go to Download and check USB Checksum and Storage Checksum. Then choose the option Download Only in the drop-down list. (Dont Forget to install all Drivers before - MTK Drivers and Lenovo USB Driver, links below)
MTK (USB DA COM,Preloader USB VCOM,USB Port,USB VCOM) Drivers : https://spflashtool.com/download/Driver_Auto_Installer_v1.1236.00.zip
Lenovo USB Driver : https://lenovousbdriver.com/download/lenovo-driver-v1-1-33
(CAUTION : Don't select Format all+Download because if you mistakenly chose Format All+Download option it will delete all your IMEI no, Device Serial no, WIFI MAC address, and Bluetooth Address. But don't worry you can retrieve it through this method : https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-12328.html or
. Make sure you know all your IMEI no, and device serial no {You can get that from your device box, there will be a label in it}.
4. In the Scatter-Loading file click Choose and load MT6797_Android_scatter.txt under the extracted Oreo Rom (whichever version you prefer)

Downgrade to Nougat from Oreo - K8 Note
1. First Unlock your bootloader through the following steps:
(Before this take a backup of all your files, apps, and data because it will factory reset your mobile)
{Unroot your phone if you're rooted, also Uninstall any modules or Xposed or rooted apps if installed}
i) Go to Settings->About Phone and Tap on Build number for about 7 times, this will enable the Developer Options. Now go to Settings->Developer Options, switch ON it, and enable OEM unlocking & USB debugging.
ii) Next, Go to Fastboot mode manually. Switch off your phone. Press Volume UP+Power Button at the same time. While the phone vibrates release the power key and hold the Volume up button. You will see three options. Select fastboot option using the Volume UP key (for scrolling) and select it using Volume Down Key (for selecting).
iii) Extract minimal_adb_fastboot zip file on your PC -> https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767103465, and press Shift+Right Click inside the extracted folder and give open the command window here. Then Connect the mobile to your PC using a USB.
iv) Then type : fastboot oem unlock {Note: This will wipe all your phone data & make it as new, so take a backup of all before doing it} (Then press the Volume Up key in your mobile after it prompts)
vi) Type : fastboot reboot (It will boot up your phone normally)
vii) That's it now you have unlocked your bootloader successfully
2. Download Nougat Rom : (whichever version you prefer)

3. Extract the downloaded zip file and Go to Fastboot mode manually as mentioned before. (Switch off, Press Volume UP+Power button at same time. Release Power button while phone vibrates. Then Choose Fastboot option using Volume Up Key and select it using Volume Down Key)
4. Connect the USB Cable from phone to PC and Double click the flashall.bat file inside the downloaded zip. {Rename flashall.txt in the attachment to flashall.bat, if you didn't find it from the downloaded zip}. This will flash the Nougat Rom fully on your device. Sit Back for some time, and relax.
5. It will boot automatically and go to Nougat Rom. If you got some error on it or force stop apps or bootloop don't worry.
Switch off your phone by long pressing power key
6. Go to Recovery Mode manually (Switch off, Press Volume UP+Power button at same time. Release Power button while phone vibrates. Then Choose Recovery option using Volume Up Key and select it using Volume Down Key. Now you will get a Android dead kinda symbol. Press Volume UP + Volume Down +Power button, you will see Recovery Mode). Choose Wipe Data/Factory Reset and Yes--delete all user data. See this video if you have doubts how to factory reset using recovery mode :
7. Then select Restart System now in Recovery Mode (Volume Up and Volume Down to Select between options and Power Button to OK). Viola...!!! Your system will reboot and your'e on Nougat Rom...!!!
{Note : After downgraded to Nougat, you won't get OTA update to Oreo. But you can get all the OTA updates of Nougat. Main thing: Don't use "fastboot oem lock" in downgraded Nougat Rom it may brick your device. Because while you lock the oem in downgraded version, the system updates will look for Oreo Rom so it wont boot as you already downgraded. If it's bricked try flashing Oreo Stock Rom using spflash tool. So try keep the "device unlocked. Orange Status......" text that comes while you boot up, always in downgraded Nougat Rom}
Follow the procedure correctly so you can retrieve your K8 Note, don't blame me if you totally damaged/bricked your device.

If u have installed twrp in oreo get rid of that and go for stock oreo recovery, if u have rooted already on oreo means unroot your mob, uninstall xposed/magisk manager if it's there. Then start the process with unlocked bootloader, go to fastboot mode and run flashall.bat inside the Stock Nougat Rom zip. After the process finished successfully the device will boot automatically. You may get some errors or not, no probs about it, go to recovery mode manually and factory reset your mobile. Restart the mob. This will surely work. Go for it...
Anyways, I feel good that you retrieved your phone back through Oreo Rom. :good:

Try factory resetting using Recovery mode, if u can go through it. Else flash Oreo Rom through latest version of spflash tool. Only Downgrade using fastboot mode....
