I used SP tool to flash the firmware (Link given by @AC_DC in another thread).
When I select the option 'firmware upgrade' it says error proinfo: Failed to get PMT info. The it says 'select option to format and download'. After doing that, after the 'download OK' popup, I try to boot up the phone and nothing. It isn't booting up. (white variant of pixel v1)
My phone is literally dead, only the preloader is working. I also tried formatting and then trying it again, but nothing works.
Please direct me to what I should do now. Any help highly appreciated :good:

First search in google unlock bootloader

Hello your problem is solve.....?

This method is legit and works 100%
Hey all
U said that u still have TWRP. So go to recovery, clear data, and in clear system partitions, select everything and clear.
Then follow the following steps -
1) Turn off yr V1 and get it into fastboot mode and connect it to yr PC( make sure u've adb installed. Link - https://androiddatahost.com/bnjkh)
2) download : https://firmwarefile.com/lava-pixel-v1. Place the 'boot' and 'system' files from the downloaded firmware to the folder where u have adb installed.
3) Open CMD( A .exe called 'cmd here' is already present in the file of adb, so run it as administrator)
4) Type -
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
. Give it some time.
5) Type -
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
. Give it time (It takes 4-5mins, so dont panic)
6) Type -
Code:
fastboot reboot
THIS METHOD WORKED FOR ME MANY TIMES.
If it helped you, click the :good: thanks button

Problem with TWRP

Hi,
Ido have redmi 3S 2/16 gb and have the following problem.
Flash in Fastboot "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" finishes sucessful
Reboot " fastboot boot twrp.img" finishes sucessful
but phone takes about 30 sec. to reboot and boots into normal system operation
I have tried several times, no success.
I can flash the phone with Miflash, everything fine. at the moment there is MIUI Global V8.1.1.0 stable on it.
Updater App also does not work correct, whenever i select a .zip to update it requires internet connection to download, but ROM is on SD card.
Any hints from the community ?

You MUST unlock the bootloader if you want TWRP flash stick and be usable.

Bootloader is unlocked, otherwise i would not have posted in Forum but forgot to mention in my first post.
But i found a very interesting way to boot into TWRP.
1. i temporarely booted into cyanogen cwm
2. restarted into recovery in cwm
3. to my surprise it booted into my previous installed TWRP
4. i could install MIUI v8 .eu rom without problems
booted into system the phone is running nice, but i cannot boot into recovery by Keys Power+ Vol+ nor via updater app.
In always boots into running system.

unique case, i'm following this...
i wish i can help but i'm not that expert
hopefuly someone with enough experience can help or at least give some information.
thanks for sharing

I have exactly the same problem with my redmi 3S 2/16 gb. I can't start twrp in any way....i will try to do your way.

Try flasher toolkit: http://en.miui.com/thread-328569-1-1.html or material twrp: http://en.miui.com/thread-346365-1-1.html

I was having similar problems. Flashed twrp from fastboot but always got stock recovery. I used the flasher toolkit. PROFIT!

I tried everything but always stock recovery is back...
Annoying..

Hello ALL
In order to be sure to follow the same track is it possible for you to post your bootloader status as attached.
I have concern about the called "device critical unlock"
Thanks

exactly the same parameters on my redmi3s...i have to try the method from fmcheetah.

Thanks for your info.
Flasher toolkit executes all the commands wich i tried already in batch file format, no luck !

Same situation here...i've tried all this bat before, not even one works. Have somebody tried TWRP by cofface ?

I didn't...No nerves anymore
Sent from my MI 3W using Tapatalk

i believe you...this goes really on the nerves. What is very strange is that only a few of us have this problem. I have no clue why, but it seems to me that only happens to the people with redmi 3s (2 gb/16 gb) bought recently. I am trying to figure out if this has something to do how we do the flash with Miflash (maybe which version ?), but it doesn't look at the first sight any different from what others do.

Sorry but my Redmi3S is only 10 days old 'from buying date' and TWRP-installer.bat did the job at first trial. But I discovered that the data partition came encrypted and I was forced to format all. Then I installed the new rom from OTG because I didn't have SD card available.

Just for info:
The same behaviour i had before i flashed with Miflash with the Global Stable ROM.
I cannot try anything further because i prepared the Phone for a friend of mine. FW is MIUI V8 6.11.10 beta xiaomi eu. , he is happy so far.
By the way on a Redmi 3s 2/16 from 2 months ago i had none of this at all !!!

I am not sure if this is the same TWRP i used
I used the TWRP version from LA 14.1 thread.
I did face few issues though like long boot time but never had issues with loading TWRP or when the OS booted up completely
I am on 7.3.9 build now let me roll back to stable 8.1.15.0 build tonight and re-try the same flash recovery and root method will let u know the results

Not able to boot to recovery
All the installation went as expected till recovery installation. It is done but using Volume Up & Power button not able to go to recovery. Just MI logo post that nothing.

Everything OK but sim slot 2 does not work after root

Rename your recovery as "recover.img".
After flashing recovery don't disconnect the phone
In fastboot type
"fastboot boot recovery.img"
Your phone will boot into recovery

Hey guys, Today I am creating a Guide on How to Convert Mi A2 to Mi 6X without triggering ARB.
This guide is based on Guide by @yunusasik(Telegram : @dejavutr ) so All credit goes to Him.
First of All Download the Convert.zip from here
All files needed to be replaced have already been replaced in convert.zip.
Then, Follow the Following Steps to Flash Mi 6X Firmware on your A2
First Make Sure you already unlocked bootloader flashing and flashing critical ("fastboot flashing unlock" and "fastboot flashing unlock_critical")
1) Install Qualcomm Driver (next next next) (Also Windows update can do this trick when you plug )
2) Install QPST (use setup from the QPST Alternative folder. )
(find QFİLL on start menu or qpst installed directory), open QFİLL from start menu or opst installed folder.
3) Select Flat Build Mode
Select Programmer File prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_ddr.elf ( already changed no arb risk )
Select XML files rawprogram0 and patch0.xml
4) Put the phone on the edl mode
navigate to ADB Folder and Open tikla.bat, it will open command windows in that directory.
Use "fastboot oem edl" command to Enter "Emergency Download Mode ( EDL )"
Press Download
When install finish. Power up the phone.
MIUI 9 Ready to BOOT (First boot may take time you can hard reset via pressing vol up - down and power together )
5) You dont need to setup miui 9 just go fastboot again (vol down + power ( when phone closed ) )
From this section you can either install MIUI 10 (OREO) or Custom ROM ( Which one you want )
Guide will be Resume about flashing MIUI 10 ( OREO )
Flash TWRP
" fastboot flash recovery twrpwayne.img "
" fastboot boot twrpwayne.img "
If twrp start chinese you can set language on that screen
6) Wipe / Advanced Wipe
7) System + Dalvik + Cache + Data + Internal
8) Flash MIUI 10(no arb).zip via adb sideload (put file into adb folder and use adb sideload MIUI 10 (no arb).zip) or put file on the
storage via mtp, if its works
" No need for gapps "
If you want root Flash Magisk.
Welcome to MIUI 10 without arb
You can use MiFlash Tool 2016 64Bit only this one works good others may stuck sometimes and risky because if you unplug when installing you have to use test point method for saving phone.
You can enable camera2api with "Camera2api enabler" on play store (ONLY MIUI 10 OREO)
If qfill installation somehow corrupt use "QPST Alternative" folder or Miflash from above
You can Download Newer MIUI Releases from here
Just make sure to delete the "firmware-update folder" using winrar etc.
-------
UPDATİNG TO MIUI 10 PIE
Download MIUI 10 PIE from here (if you are in mobile press "try download anyway" )
Open zip file and delete "Firmware Upgrade" folder from the zip (Most İmportant)
Boot into TWRP
Go Wipe / Advanced Wipe
Wipe "System + Dalvik + Cache + Data"
(Make sure you are using ext4 file system on Cache and Data partition)
Flash MIUI 10 Pie zip
Flash Hex Kernel download from here (We need this because we are not using fw update folder for updating kernel etc (because its trigger arb 4))
Flash Magisk if you want root
Reboot to system
Welcome to MIUI 10 Pie
You can check new mıuı eu updates from here.
For enabling camera2api on MIUI 10 Pie you have to edit build prop download this application from play store
Give root permissions
Search for HAL3 then change boot of them 0 to 1
Restart the phone.
For stable gcam use this
------
Converted Mi6X Indian Variant Camera FİX
1. Flash any custom ROM or MIUI 10 ROM firmware-update folder deleted.
2. Flash the zip from here via TWRP.
3. Reboot
------
Convert Back to A2
Download latest a2 stock rom.
Put phone to edl mode again (fastboot oem edl)
Flash stock rom via QFİLL with same method (Select .ddr and xml files from stock rom folder) and power up.
Done.
(If you have wifi camera or splash screen problems. Flash stockrom with miflash on fastboot (vol down + power ) again.)
(Alternative) You can use MiFlash Tool 2016 64Bit to convert back.
Select A2 stock rom folder.
Put phone to edl mode (fastboot oem edl).
Flash Rom when its done, power up the phone to fastboot (vol down + power ) and flash rom again. (for solving any camera wifi etc issue)
FAQ
Is there any alternative to this twrp ?
- Yes you can use alternatives, this one my fav.
Is there any alternative to this kernel ?
- Yes you can use NeonKernel, Reign Kernel or this EAS kernel from @rcstar6696
I got triggered ARB4 can I go back to A2 ? ( Unlocked Bootloader )
- Yes you can convert back to A2 with test point here is the guide for that. Thanks @powar19
If you have any questions feel free to ask.

I remember reading a thread related to sensor issue. There is already a post regarding this sensor issue in this forum. probably u need to re-flash the persist .img from fastboot but dont do it just blindly. rather search the forum and refer to that thread before proceeding.

" No need for gapps "
If you want root Flash Magisk.
Welcome to MIUI 10 without arb
If u wanna come back to Mi A2 just flash latest stock rom via qfill again.
U can use miflash but its stuck sometimes and risky because if u unplug when installing u have to use test point method for saving phone.
U can enable camera2api with "Camera2api enabler" on play store
If QFIL Does not work try QPST Alternative
You can Download Newer MIUI Releases from here
Just make sure to delete the firmware-update using winrar.

i'll try it tomorrow.
in advance, if we can enable camera2api we can install gcam without problems, right?

Can this guide be followed on stock pie?
EDIT:
Nevermind, the method works on pie
But I am not able to use camera. Any tips?
EDIT2:
Nvm, I figured it out. Enabled camera2api, and flashed whyred miui camera in magisk.

Redmi Note 7 edl method problem

Today i flashed global rom in my redmi note 7(lavender) cn. But i made a mistake. I select clean all and lock. When i tried to boot it shows 'this miui version cannot be installed in this device'. But I removed mi account from my phone. That's why i can't unlock the bootloader. Then i opened the backpart and tried to do edl flash with mi flash tool. But it showed ' cannot receive hello packet'. Then i tried to flash with Q_loader. But it fails. Now what can i do. Please help

Lol
I hv the greatest solution for this shi..t
Just go to fast boot mode by pressing volume down and power.
And
Open mi bootloader unlock tool in pc
And simply unlock ur bootloader normally
This will unlock ur bootloader again
And do whatever uh want
Flash rom again but this tym select only clean all
Device will boot normally
Thats it
This trick worked for meh..

I don't have any mi account in my device. How can I unlock the bootloader?
