Xiaomi Note 8 rom flash problem - Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers

My note 8 comes with china rom which I want to change into indian rom. I have downloaded this rom from ci.mi dot com. I wanted to flash my handset (Bootloader Unlocked) with xiaomiflash software. But it seems the software can't detect the rom file and when I extracted the rar file of rom, it was contained with .br file instead of flash file. Previously I downloaded another rom file from the same site. It was same on the xiaomiflash, it can't detect the rom file after refresh and select path either. What can I do? I even tried from phone to flash (downloaded_rom>settings>System Update> Choose update package), but I didn't even find the option 'choose update package. Need help!!

I would like to help. But I don't have China based phone. Mine came with global. I think is the same though.
The ROM file you have contains files with *.br, this tells me it is a 'recovery rom' and needs to be flashed with recovery.
You can flash recovery ROM with twrp. But there is firmware files inside and there is danger to flash wrong firmware files (note 8 vs note 8t) . Do be certain the ROM you are to flash is supported in your hardware first.

if and only if you have redmi note 8 and not 8t then you can flash Indian rom....coz there's no redmi note 8t for India..
download recovery or fastboot rom from here.
if you download recovery rom...just straightaway flash from recovery...
for fastboot rom you gotta extract it twice then flash with miflash...and make sure to select "clean_all" not "clean_all_and_lock"

[HELP] Can't flash Stock 7.0Nougat via Stock Recovery...

I got a ZF3 Deluxe from Italy, is TIM branded, and stuck on MM 6.0, no updated released for this brand, so a friend of mine told me there is of course android 7 for ZF3Deluxe, so i wanted to manually upgrade system to 7.0 Nougat, i downloaded the Stock ROM from asus (2.15ghz cpu, i've checked of course) but when i try to flash it from the Stock Recovery i get this error (see the attachment) i also attach the software informations, (looking at the error i receive it may see the archive is corrupted, but i've tried to download it from Asus many and many times)
You have a carrier rom on your phone and the international version fails the upgrade check.
If you could get your bootloader unlocked that would be a way around it but you need to upgrade to a certain rom version to do that and the carrier hasn't supplied that rom...
You're essentially screwed until the carrier either releases the bootloader unlockable rom or upgrades the rom to nougat...

You should try to flash stock recovery of WW in fastboot.
And then flash 6.0 WW rom by WW recovery.
Even though ,I didn't sure that if it will work(because I don't have Z016S),but you can try it.

I forgot to say, after this procedure, just flash the stock WW recovery via Fastboot, then download from asus the lastest 7.0 firmware SKU WW, all perfect. tested by me.
Ok I already have system.new.img, I copied it to the root folder of the SD. Device restart in Fastboot mode (power + vol.up key). Exit screen with message Fastboot mode and does nothing.
Install in the computer the pyton 3.6, I suppose that it serves for the process of generating system.new.img.
I do not know how to do the first step "Install: ADB & Minimal Fastboot.".
Thank you and forgive my translator

Tow solution you can try
1.install the rom of 4.12.40.1698 again(some of tile,such as xbl,devcfg,devcfgbak..... may be still TIM versio.install it in recovery may turn it into WW version)
2.If fail, try flash these files in fastboot.(I will upload these files for you to flash,also you can draw by yourself)
Ok already worked, the solution is to unlock as you put in # 11.
Thank you

Softbricked Mi10t Lite (gauguin)

Hello guys,
I have rooted 2 days ago my phone with TWRP and Magisk; everything worked fine until I tried to change somethin in /system/ folder. It always said I dont have write rights. So I decided to go back to stock rom. I have downloaded the stock rom for my phone (gauguin, Global 12.0.8.0 , Android 10.) Now I have the following problem. My device is soft bricked.
So i decided to google and try to flash another Rom for my phone. I found one here.

How Can I flash that file? its .tgz
I have stock rom installed and I cant flash TWRP
Thanks in advance

For the love of god, I just spent 3 hours to install fastboot ROM and did not succeed. No idea what went wrong, but at the end I finally restored my device..
1. download recovery ROM and transfer it to internal SD
2. download fastboot ROM, unpack it
3. modify flash_all_except_storage.bat and delete lines with CRCLIST and SPARCECRCLIST
4. run the script
5. phone will keep rebooting on MI logo
6. boot to TWRP "fastboot boot twrp.img"
7. install recovery ROM from TWRP
8. (install Magisk), reboot phone to system
For some reason fastboot flashing doesn't install /odm partition correctly. I have the latest drivers, android tools, tried 2 PCs, 2 different USB cables, different USB ports, using Mi Flash, nothing helped. The only solution was to flash recovery rom from TWRP. Fortunately no data has been lost.

Can you boot into fastboot? You said it's soft bricked so I imagine you can. Reply and I'll get back to you, I soft bricked mine and fixed it fine.
Hey guys, I was finally able to flash the Rom.
I used to flash a Rom with Xiaomi Flash, accidentaly it was a wrong rom, which I saw later on.
So I installed TWRP recovery with fastboot commands and downloaded the right rom. I used to download the EEA Rom instead of Global Rom. So I transfered the EU Rom to micro SD Card and flashed it with TWRP.
Everything is working now, except the access to /system folder, after I rooted with magisk 20.4. Even with the newest Version it does not work.
So I tried in the terminal the following command while I was in /system folder: mount -o rw,remount/ But this does also not work. How can I get acess to it?
Sorry for my english again

Im trying to root my device by patching boot.img , but the issue is when i download 12.5.3.0 firmware its only 130mb zip file and it dosent contain boot.img, is there a place where i can download entire 12.5.3.0 rom so i can get boot.img ?
Also another question , im doing this because apparently ill still get OTA updates afterwards , is that true ?

Updates work different for every other phone but its possible
here is a guide: by topjohmwu of magisk
Patching Images​
If your device has boot ramdisk, you need a copy of the boot.img
If your device does NOT have boot ramdisk, you need a copy of the recovery.img.
You should be able to extract the file you need from official firmware packages or your custom ROM zip (if using one). If you are still having trouble, go to XDA-Developers and look for resources, guides, discussions, or ask for help in your device’s forum.
Copy the boot/recovery image to your device
Press the Install button in the Magisk card
If you are patching a recovery image, make sure “Recovery Mode” is checked in options.
In most cases it should already be automatically checked.
Choose “Select and Patch a File” in method, and select the stock boot/recovery image
The Magisk app will patch the image to [Internal Storage]/Download/magisk_patched_[random_strings].img.
Copy the patched image to your PC with ADB:
adb pull /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched_[random_strings].img
Flash the patched boot/recovery image to your device.
For most devices, reboot into fastboot mode and flash with command:
fastboot flash boot /path/to/magisk_patched.img or
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/magisk_patched.img if flashing a recovery image
Reboot and voila!

Question Can't install update LE2127_11_C.20

So, as the title says, I can't install that update. I'm currently on LE2127_11_C.16. About 1/5 of the way through downloading the update, it stops, and at the top of the screen it says "Couldn't update" and underneath in red letters, it says "Installation problem". The MSM tool won't communicate with my phone for some reason that I'm still trying to figure out. If it matters, everything is stock with the exception of my bootloader being unlocked. Does anybody know an alternate method to install the update, or convert to the global ROM so I can make use the Oxygen Updater?
EDIT
So, I found a solution that converted my phone to the global rom AND allowed me to get OTA updates again
1) Using the Oxygen Updater app, download the latest (full) global firmware, then copy the zip file to your adb/fastboot folder. Rename the zip file to firmware.zip
2) Download the TWRP recovery, rename the file to twrp.img and copy it to your adb/fastboot folder
3) Place your phone into fastboot mode
4) Using fastboot, boot the TWRP recovery image (fastboot boot twrp.img)
5) Once your phone has booted the TWRP image, select Advanced, then select ADB Sideload
6) Use ADB to sideload the downloaded firmware (adb sideload firmware.zip)
For anyone trying this, you'll need to flash the modem files from your stock firmware back onto your phone to get cell service

If you are on the c16, that means you are using TMO firmware and that means you have something that is not stock in the firmware. If MSM doesn't recognize your phone, the correct drivers are not installed or installed properly. The Qualcomm USB drivers have to be installed with driver signature disabled on PC indicated by a watermark in lower right corner of PC stating "test mode". Test mode must be enabled before installing drivers then reboot PC!

1) Using the Oxygen Updater app, download the latest (full) global firmware, then copy the zip file to your adb/fastboot folder. Rename the zip file to firmware.zip
2) Download the TWRP recovery, rename the file to twrp.img and copy it to your adb/fastboot folder
3) Place your phone into fastboot mode
4) Using fastboot, boot the TWRP recovery image (fastboot boot twrp.img)
5) Once your phone has booted the TWRP image, select Advanced, then select ADB Sideload
6) Use ADB to sideload the downloaded firmware (adb sideload firmware.zip)
For anyone trying this, you'll need to flash the modem files from your stock firmware back onto your phone to get cell service

Question How to flash Miui 14 for mi pad 5?

How to flash miui14 Chinese dev recovery rom in mipad 5
?
1. You download the CN Stable dev build from here
2. A. It's a recovery ROM zip, so you can only directly flash it in MIUI Updater, or MIUI Stock Recovery, if you are already on the same branch (CN Stable dev)
2. B. otherwise (you are on a different ROM variant, like Global or Stable non-dev) you have to unlock your tablet and then flash the recovery ROM zip via custom recovery (TWRP) or flash a fastboot ROM (which is not the same as the zip above) and flash it via MiFlash Tool, or adb from a computer.

WARNING: If you don't know how this stuff works, I recommend not to do it. This will install CN Stable Dev ROM, only English and Chinese will be available. Mi Flash gives an error but the Tablet reboots and MIUI 14 CN will be properly flashed without losing user-data. But to be sure, make a backup and learn how to fix a soft-bricked device BEFORE you start. If you soft-brick, don't ask questions here but google and learn through youtube tutorials.
unlock your device. Apply here
download the latest MIUI 14 chinese stable dev fastboot tgz file
extract the tgz with winRAR or 7zip into a folder
download and extract Mi Flash Tool into another folder
run XiaoMiFlash.exe inside the extracted Mi Flash Tool folder
Install the drivers when asked inside the Mi Flash Tool, if it gives an error then install the driver manually
Turn off your Mi Tab 5, then reboot it by pressing POWER + VOLUME UP until the Fastboot screen appears
Connect your Mi Tab 5 to your computer via USB.
Click the "refresh" button in Mi Flash Tool. In the table below the "select" button a new row should appear with an id and device. If not you have a USB driver problem, cable problem, your tablet is not in fastboot mode or other issue. Use google to fix your problem or watch a youtube video to learn how to do it.
in Mi Flash Tool click the "select" button and navigate to the folder where you extracted the tgz file, click OK. (Make sure you navigate and select the "nabu_images_V14.0.22.12.21.DEV_13.0" folder, and not the one inside it called "images")
At the bottom of Mi Flash Tool select "Save user data"and in the drop down next to it select "Flash all except storage"
Click the "flash" button in Mi Flash Tool and wait until it's done.
