Red Magic 5G BackUP Request - Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Questions & Answers

Red Magic 5G BackUP Request - Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Questions & Answers

Hello XDA Forum
I have a little problem with my Red Magic 5G
I accidentally deleted the parameter files and also other important files out of stupidity and wanted to ask whether someone has a red magic 5g and can make a backup via twrp and send it to me? < I really don't know what to do anymore >
I have flashed new software with edl on it and installed all 3 rom versions but I still have the same problem non of them worked i can't even install custom rom anymore.
Best Regards
Akizuma

Has really no one a backup for me left for the red magic 5g ?

Hello, what parameters are missing in your red magic5g, can I help you? I use red magic5s

(I think everthing)
I need a twrp backup from a red magic 5g where everthing still works i destroyed to much,
Not even touch working anymore in twrp.
Edit ( I think not that 5s works on 5g or ? )

you don't need anything from someone else's device.
if you ****ed something up. then you need to use the unbrick tools. and set them up correctly and follow the directions to unbrick.
they will erase all your data. but form what I've read, you lost all that already.
there are unbrick tools for both devices. 5S or 5G on either forum for those devices make sure you're using the correct unbrick tool. 5g does not work correctly with 5S devices, and vice versa.
the unbrick tools will format and restore every single parition on the phone. restoring it to factory settings.
its very possible though if you were messing with partitions that you erased your IMEI.
if thats gone, its beyond the scope of the unbrick tools. you'll have to contact warranty services.
the unnofficial unbrick tools by Johnny in my opinion better.
just make sure your drivers are correctly installed, and up to date. .. this includes windows updates.
(recently there has been a google ADB driver that needs updating thats available through winodws update)
so make sure thats installed too.
set your phone to EDL mode and follow the direction on Johnny's thread.
it will restore your phone as long as you can get to Fastboot mode. (vol down and power)
PM me if you need more help. but that should be enough to get your back to stock.

Problem Fixed ! #closed

@Akizuma it would be kind to post what you did to fix the issue, so others in the future who are faced with the same issue can use your solution.
We are a community here to help others.
If we mention that our problems are sorted, without posting how, it only helps the direct user and other searching for solutions to fix their issues will continue.
Please post what it was you did to fix your issue. It would be very appreciated.

If you're having any of these issues, this option may be able to fix it.
Problem: black screen after boot up, touch not working (TWRP) or automatic booting in EDL mode
First download the Unbrick EDL Tool
(I chose EU)
Download here:
[Tool] Nubia Red Magic 5G Unbirck Tool
So.......It's finally here, the unbrick tool for RedMagic 5G. This tool can help you to unbrick the phone. It will restore the phone to the oldest version, you need to update the system software by yourself. This tool is based on Qualcomm...
forum.xda-developers.com
Then follow the instructions in the folder and install an operating system on it through edl mode
Then you start the installation again but this time you don't run it because I noticed that the tool doesn't flash important image files but skips them (you can even find it in the log)
First go to \ AppData \ Local \ Temp \ is-K4OSH.tmp \ NubiaEmergencyDownload \ software
(name can be different)
And copy
persist.img
boot.img
odm.img
recovery.img
system.img
vendor.img
And put it in a new folder
After that go to the bootloader again and unlock the oem via
(fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX659J)
Then execute following commands for the files like
(Command (Fastboot flash persist [file.img])
(Command (Fastboot flash boot [file.img])
(Command (Fastboot flash odm [file.img])
(Command (Fastboot flash recovery [file.img])
(Command (Fastboot flash system [file.img])
(Command (Fastboot flash vendor [file.img])
It can be that most of them give out an error, execute them anyway in case the folder still exists
Then the cell phone should start again normally.
P.s ( Sorry for my poor english ^^ )

System, Vendor, and odm, are all partitions flashed during the "super" partition.
this is why you didn't see them exactly written in the log they all go under "super" and get assigned a dynamic partition when flashed.
you cna see here how they changed the partitions and how they're written now.

either way. thank you for your effort to your solution.

Blackview BV9000 Pro-F ROOT SUCCESS [TWRP + Magisk v16 + Stock Rom]

EDIT: included rough procedures for OEM unlocking, and updated link to recovery-verified.img (Sorry for uploading the wrong file ><)
Hi all bv9000 pro Users!
Recently I went on a journey to root this awesome rugged phone with one purspose: to remove that F*@(#&$ god awful loud annoying sound triggered by the OS when you use a camera app to take a picture + the boot startup sound (A bug blackview hasn't gotten around to fixing).
I successfully managed to port TWRP 3.1.1 from the Blackview bv8000 Pro and run it on the Blackview bv9000 Pro-f!
I've then managed to flash in Magisk to gain root access.
DISCLAIMER: I do not take responsibility for any bricked phones caused by the process, do so at your own risk (yadayadayada).
NOTE 1: Although I've got it running on the bv9000 Pro-F, this image should also work for the non-fullHD version, if someone can test this I'd be happy.
The link to the stock ROM (with the modified recovery img) can be found in the post below.
NOTE 2: No need to download anything other than what I've listed, Magisk is included in my custom recovery to circumvent the need to load the devices encrypted storage (or any other external storage) nothing stops you from mounting external usb storage.
What you'll need:
- USB Mouse (As there is no touchscreen input support, your device should have come with a usb-c otg cable so there's no problem here!)
- MediaTek SP Flash tools (I'd recommend the latest version) https://spflashtool.com/
- unlocked bootloader (You should be able to do this via the developer settings -> unlock OEM Bootloader)
EDIT: To unlock the boot loader, do the following:
1) Go to settings -> unlock OEM Bootloader (tick)
2) plug your device in (assuming you have ADB installed), use adb to access fastboot via. command prompt:
"adb reboot bootloader"
Then once the device is rebooted into fastboot mode
"fastboot oem unlock"
KEEP IN MIND THIS WILL REMOVE ANY FILES, so back them up
- I've done this with windows, but you should be able to repeat with linux no problems!
- A little patience
Pre-preparation:
First install any updates and back up your data (it's just easiest to use the google cloud backup as restoring becomes easy as pie, updating also fixes the setup wizard crashing on first setup). This is necessary because OTA updates cannot be performed with TWRP recovery, and flashing TWRP before doing OTA updates will flick the device into a recovery boot loop.
Install the SP Flash tools, and the MediaTek VCOM Drivers
(I won't link the specifics here, a quick google search should be able to help you, just note you might need to disable driver signature enforcement)
Two options for flashing:
1)
My Full Stock ROM already pre-prepared for flashing:
Patched ROM
No need for extra prep here! you should just be able to load the scatter
2)
My custom patched TWRP stock rom: recovery-verified.img
Blackiew's stock rom: stock rom
- Download the stock rom, backup the recovery-verified.img in the R06 folder, and then replace it with my custom patched TWRP stock rom (file name should be the same).
- Run "CheckSum_Gen.exe" once you replaced the file, it will generate the necessary checksum to allow SP flash tools to successfully flash recovery.
Once you've done with the pre-prep, switch off your device, take a deep breath and you're ready to go!
Steps!
1) Load up SP Flash Tools, select the android scatter file you've downloaded in the R06 folder
2) Select Download Only (I MEAN IT, FORMATTING WILL REMOVE YOUR IMEI AND RENDER THE PHONE USELESS)
3) Deselect everything but recovery (You only want to flash this)
4) Hit download
https://pasteboard.co/HkufwZZ.png
5) Hold volume up + power and plug in your phone, keep the volume up button held
6) very quickly the flash should be complete, and you should be greeted with a big ol' green tick to verify
https://pasteboard.co/HkuiTBB.png
7) Once you're done, remove your USB cable, plug in the OTG then we proceed to flash magisk
8) Hold power + volume up until you reach the bootloader, then use the menu to select recovery
9) You *should* be greeted with the TWRP recovery screen (Which is great success! )
DON'T PANIC IF YOU CANNOT USE THE TOUCH SCREEN, the kernel I've patched is missing this, seems the driver is different between touch screens, just plug in your OTG mouse to continue from here!
10) Use your mouse to first hit cancel, we don't need to decrypt the user data storage.
11) But oh no! it's all in Russian (no problem, Next step sorts that)
12) Use your mouse to navigate the menus as shown here to change to English! (or your preferred language) Change Language
13) Click install, then navigate up folder levels until you are in the root directory
14) scroll down and click on Magisk.zip, install it, allow it to install any apps as system apps (because this will then install to the system image, not the userdata)
15) reboot the phone (if it hasn't rebooted already)
16) You should be able to boot into your usual phones OS, if you don't see Magisk listed in your phone apps, just download it from here:
Magisk Manager
17) Congratulations! You should have complete root access :laugh::laugh::laugh:
Feel free to express your thanks, or list any problems you have, but keep in mind my studies take all my life, so I may not be able to help with all the problems you have

Congrats! Would it work on the BV9000 HD version?

Hi!
From what I've seen they both run the helio p25 chip
(Just a difference in RAM size) so it should.
You're more than welcome to try.
Just keep a backup of the original ROMs recovery. If something goes wrong during the boot to recovery you can easily re flash

hi i tried both optinos but they didn't work for me
I tried the first and the second options and it was showed me same error:
ERROR: STATUS INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER(0XC0010007)
I tried download only, format all and download, if i install original ROM its installing without problems!
In settings-> developer options -> OEM unlocking is enabled
can someone give me tips if I'm doing something wrong. thanks
My phone is Blackview BV9000PRO-F

Hello,
i have the blackview 9000 pro Hd (not full hd)
i first tried your prepared patched rom = not working (get erorrers in step 6)
then i chose step 2 and i was thinking to use the stock rom from the NOT full hd rom
now i get a green screen from the flashing: but after rebooting in recovery nothing happens, just normal reboot then
perhaps this is not so clair for me:
- Download the stock rom, backup the recovery-verified.img in the R06 folder, and then replace it with my custom patched TWRP stock rom (file name should be the same).
- Run "CheckSum_Gen.exe" once you replaced the file, it will generate the necessary checksum to allow SP flash tools to successfully flash recovery.
the file name you posted here " My custom patched TWRP stock rom: recovery-verified.img" is ramdisk-recovery.img
i replaced the ramdisk-recovery.img... it is not clair need to replace recovery-verified.img to?

Hi, you need to unlock the OEM bootloader, if this is still locked it will prevent the flashing of custom ROMS.
I might've missed this step, will update post as necessary.

I already did this step:
Enable developer options-> OEM unlocking is enabled
Is that enough for this MTK phone to be unlocked the bootloader ?
And tried the both options but the results are same.
I have been unlocking bootloaders on many phones but first time MTK phones. If i try with adb commands it recognize when is in the android with command adb devices and show my device but if I try reboot bootloader and check in device manager in windows its show its connected and drives are correct but if i try to show the devices, it doesn't show any device connected

Hi,
You need to install fastboot drivers once it's in bootloader mode,
then use fastboot, not adb.
"fastboot oem unlock"
Then follow instructions.
simply doing settings -> oem unlock won't unlock the bootloader, it allows you to do so later via. fastboot
Check the original post, I've added the extra instructions sorry about the confusion!

Thanks a lot. I finally succeeded to unlock the bootloader and root my phone and install the magisk.. I did without use your rom just I unlocked the bootloader and install your twrp file and after in the recovery mode i format the data and istall magic and i still have the last updated android.
I hope this it ill help to other people. Cheers

Congratulations .... I need a tip,.
And, brother, thank you very much. Worked perfectly.
But first I would like to get you a tip ..
One of the main reasons I have done all this complicated process was to be able to disable the crap of the loud music that plays when the device is started.
I want complete silence at startup.
How do I disable this ****?

Hi guys, lemme apologize for disappearing, life and whatnot!
For those stuck in a TWRP boot loop, simply restoring the original recovery then restarting the phone will be enough to fix the problem.
(Actually you really don't need TWRP after the phone is rooted, maybe I should update the guide?)

Many Thanks
First off, thank you for your hard work. Loved the "**** it we have an OTG cable let's use it" haha. It works fine for me.
Second, do you happen to know if someone has ported Oreo on our bv9000 ? Or do you know of any ETA ?
Thanks again,
Cheers

Anyone tried on the BV9000 Pro? Don't think mine is 'F' OR 'Fhd'.... I must have first model brought out...

Ugh.. Windows and Drivers?!?!
I keep getting Driver not Recognized in Windows 7 Pro X86.
I installed the latest vcom/usb drivers, in legacy also. No Go.
I installed from several other sources the drivers, including the Automatic Mediatek driver install. No Go.
So if anyone has a tip for me, please let me know because once more Windows is proving itself ridiculous. I can't even get to the storage of my phone. Did something change with a Windows Update that it's not allowed anymore?
I put my BV9000 Pro in OEM Unlock and USB Debugging. I backupped everything. My phone is ready for it. It's as ready as Amy having coitus with Sheldon for the first time.

Alcatel 1x DEVELOPMENT: Kernel, TWRP, Pie ROMs, Guides

ALCATEL 1X Development Thread
TWRP and Kernel work is mine and is free for everyone to use, but I appreciate being credited.
System GSIs are created by Phhusson.
Guide for flashing with SP Flash Tool is mine, but the code and binaries are proprietary information from TCL/JRD Communication and may not be redistributed.
KERNEL - Based on latest Alcatel GPL source code that they released, compiled and packaged into a boot.img - bit . ly / 2Gc4XUN
TWRP - Custom built from source TWRP from my device tree. Most things work, no special partition support other than /vendor - bit . ly / 2EevCO7
TWRP device tree - Github: milankragujevic/android_device_alcatel_5059d (I can't post a link due to XDA restrictions for new users)
Stock rom for 5059D_RU - bit . ly / 2ruktBa (remove spaces, can't share link directly)
How to unlock bootloader?
Reboot into recovery (either hold Volume Up when booting, or adb reboot-recovery), go into bootloader mode (fastboot), and run fastboot oem unlock. Then confirm with the volume button and reboot the device. Please note, all data will be wiped.
How to flash kernel?
Reboot into bootloader and run fastboot flash boot boot.img and fastboot flash boot2 boot.img (you need to flash boot2 too, or else the phone will refuse to boot due to integrity and signature problem).
How to flash system or recovery
Reboot into fastboot and run fastboot flash [partition] file.img. For system, partition is "system", for recovery it's "recovery" (obviously).
How to flash with SP Flash Tool?
Flashing is similar to most other phones, except you need a special version of SP Flash Tool, and a custom DA, preloader, Auth file and of course the scatter file for this device (MT6739-based).
Download files from here: bit . ly / 2L7gwLX
In SP Flash Tool, select "DA_PL_U5A_PLUS_4G.bin" as DA, "MT6739_Android_scatter.txt" as Scatter and "JRD_6739_HZ_U5A_PLUS_4G.auth" as Auth file. If it doesn't work with that file, try "JRD_6739_A30ATMO.auth" as Auth.
Add some files, i.e. boot.img, recovery.img, system.img, vendor.img in the same folder as the scatter file.
Then, take apart the phone, disconnect the battery, click the start button in the software and plug the phone into the computer.
Treble GSI flashing
Most GSIs work, provided you download an arm A-only image.
Both Oreo and Pie work, but on Oreo there's a problem with sending and receiving SMS, calls and USSD codes, and mobile data.
On Pie, mobile data works intermittently, and SMS, calls and USSD works constantly.
LineageOS non-GSI
I'm working on building a LineageOS image specific for this device, which should fix all issues with MTK RIL.
WIP, comments and suggestions welcome. Standard disclaimers apply (NO WARRANTY PROVIDED, AT YOUR OWN RISK, etc. )

Downloading, will post results!!! Thanks!

Could it work with alacatel 1 (5033a)? It has the same chipset but differs in other characteristics.

Hey, are you still building a Lineage OS?

Los link estan caidos. Instale el twrp pero queda en bootloop twrp. Saque el boot.img con el twrp para parchearlo con magisk pero al flashearlo con cmd vuelve a quedarse en el twrp. Podrias pasar el boot.img stock? Gracias

Links are back, the server had failed and I moved the files to another datacenter which took 3 days.
Here's a MEGA link just in case, if this happens again: https://mega.nz/file/i3BhASJJ#pNzwAsflvcvdfr3pGzUfbNhe3fHUCnfyoAR_O4IsFAE

Hi again, does anyone of you know how to fix this error, im very scared that my phone wont show any screen again.
This is what happened: I tried to install Android 10 GSI and bootlooped so I went to TWRP and used my backup but from no reason the phone died during the backup and when I powered it on it vibrates but it doesnt show any image at all and takes a bit longer to vibrate.
The error on SP Flash Tool is STATUS_BROM_CMD_FAIL (0xC0060005). What do I do? When I try to flash it turns the LED on but then it turns off and turns on again but gives this error. If also there is a way to boot to bootloader directly tell me PLSS. Its Hard Bricked.

You did not flash correctly. The device isn't hard bricked, you have to turn it off (take it apart and disconnect the battery then reconnect it but don't turn on, keep the back cover off because you will surely need to repeat this many times), go to Options, Download and enable "Storage checksum" and "USB checksum", and then start flashing and then plug in the phone while SPFT is trying to flash. When SPFT starts flashing do not touch it, when it flashes the phone will reboot. You also need a proper stock ROM.
You can also just literally use the Mobile Upgrade S Gotu2 tool from Alcatel: https://mega.nz/file/DjpzTRDB#vC3SrO5hQr1Nzn32lWxVGLhmclfSpPF6CsIWHRaTsP8 and restore the stock ROM that way.

You can, you are just doing it wrong. Check the checksum options I mentioned and retry.

Yes, I clearly told you:
In SP Flash Tool: Go to Options, Download and enable "Storage checksum" and "USB checksum".
THEN flash.

I enabled but still no results. The button i was talking about is on the phone do i need to touch the phone or just put the usb?

please do, i encountered a similar problem.

HowTo Flash STOCK 00WW
1. Trigger nokia 3.2 to edl-mode (https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-3-2/how-to/guide-how-to-trigger-nokia-3-2-to-edl-t3962841)
2. Flash the given image from this thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-3-2/how-to/rooted-nokia-3-2-t3945206)
- This was the main problem. I never managed it to flash the image with the Windows Programmer QFIL. After more research in Internet, i found finally a Linux application called QDL that work directly without any problems. This application can be found here https://www.96boards.org/documentation/consumer/guides/qdl.md.html .
- Flashing the software ends up into a bootloop. Also i got a message on startup that the bootloader could not be trusted anymore. After a software-update, this message disappears.
3. Flash all the user images again manually with fastboot.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
flastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
Whyever you have to flash this partitions only to the active partitions without the suffix _a or _b.
Then the bootloop is finished.
The phone boots normally to Android ONE.
The next problem which occurs on my phone is now that it is not able to connect to GSM network. I guess this happens because i deleted all the necessary partitions for the modem (modemst1, modemst2, fsg).
I get it managed to restore the imei, but still no service available.
In original my phone had the software 00EEA. Perhaps they use different drivers. My luck is that i got a cheap damaged phone from ebay with that firmware.
My next step is to modify the code from QDL that it can read the partitions from the damaged phone and save the software to computer.
Then i will flash this software to my phone and look if this software will run on my phone!

Thank you for your reply, it seems that your problem is more complicated than mine.
I have a global variant with 00WW software and i attempt to root the phone. I successfully flash the patched boot.img and had root access. However wi-fi didn't work after that.
Since before flashing the patched boot.img my phone was running on a different firmware from the one that boot.img was extracted from, so i think that was the problem.
I attempted to use QFIL to flash my phone back to 00WW_15 and it failed half way, bricked my phone.

Normally you can use the EDL Mode every time.
My phone only showed black screen and it was always possible to connect in EDL Mode and flash again.
Did you try to flash again? What happens then?

Flash the given image from this thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-3-2/how-to/rooted-nokia-3-2-t3945206)

What did you mean by Flash the given image ? Was it flash the firmware package with QFIL ?
My main problem is flashing, it always failed half-way and the error log reported that needed files were missing from the package.

Okay. I used the linux program QDL for flashing.
But i saw, that in the xml file rawprogram0.xml a few files are missing.
The linux programm jump over these files but perhaps QFIL do not.
For example is there a picture.img listed which is not available..
Try to remove them manually from the rawfile and test again.

@update:
Also the files "demoapp.img", "dp_AP_signed.mbn" and "dp_MSA_signed.mbn" are missing.
Remove them from the XML file and try again!

Okay QFIL still failed half-way but i manually flash the user images and my phone boots normally now

Hello,
my nokia 3.2 europe variant wont boot up its stuck in fastboot mode. What can i do to bring it back?
I get this: FAILED (remote: partition table doesn't exist)
P.S. if i do a fastboot reboot it boots back into bootloader

I also had this problems for many many times and don't know what went wrong when this happens.
The only thing that helped was flashing the complete firmware again in EDL-mode.
You can try first to flash only the 5 user-images with fastboot, which i mentioned before in this thread.
I uploaded this files for you, because you don't will find the europe files in internet yet.
Here is the link:
https://transfernow.net/81iti7q21s0s
Good luck!

Hi,
Thank you very much. Is this the complete Firmware? (All Images from Device) Another question: I couldnt Access the recovery System. Did you have the same Problem when your Nokia didnt boot up and was stuck in Bootloader? So is this normal that the recovery is unaccessible?

Yes, that also happens sometimes with my phone.
No, that are not all firmware files, which you need to do a full EDL-Flash.
But with this files you can first try a fastboot flash!
If it does not work, you can take all the other files from the Global-Stock-Firmware, given in the thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-3-2/how-to/rooted-nokia-3-2-t3945206.
Delete the 5 files with the same names, flash the Global-Stock-Firmware in EDL-Mode, with QFIL or QDL, (without the 5 files) and in the following flash the 5 europe-image files with fastboot.

Thanks, ive sent it in and got Friday a 00WW Variant of the device back. I will upload those User images for 00EEA to my Google drive so that anyone who needs those files can download them

TWRP does work above 12.0.5, I have tested.
New build: https://tdrive.elytra8.workers.dev/image-new.img
Flash like you flash any other custom recovery.
For ADS in MIUI, using debloat tool and removing MSA does the job.

Uhm... hello, newbie here and hopefully in the right thread.
I have a Redmi Note 9 and wanted to install LineageOS. What I have done so far:
Jumped through all the hoops to unlock the bootloader.
Since that erases all user data, I did not bother setting a password in the setup. Just went through it as quickly as possible.
Installed TWRP 12.0.6
Used that to install lineage-17.1-20210209-UNOFFICIAL-merlin.zip from here.
Result: The new system does not boot. I always end up in TWRP again. Even if I specifically go to Reboot -> System, it'll boot into recovery. I think the first boot fails and then it goes into recovery (if I power the device off and on again, it vibrates, the logo comes on, the screen goes black, it vibrates again, the logo shows again, and then I'm in TWRP).
What I have tried unsuccessfully:
Flashing the vbmeta from here.
Erasing the misc partition.
Flashing the old lk from here.
Closing the AVB2.0 after flash (with and without closing DM verity).
Wiping cache, dalvik, data, internal storage, and cache before reinstalling LOS.
Replacing TWRP with PBRP and trying again.
Probably some other things I don't remember. I've been chasing red herrings through this rabbit hole all day.
I also tried to install the ArrowOS build (from here), just to have one more datapoint. After that, the device boot-loops into the bootloader, and I have to manually go into recovery via VolUp+Power. This leads me to believe that it's not the LOS build at fault. It seems more likely that I am a moron and am doing something wrong. I just can't figure out what it is.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hey, Custom roms for Redmi Note 9 need MIUI 12.0.1 Indonesia, or MIUI 12.0.3 global vendor.
Downgrade your phone to the specific MIUI vendor, and then try flashing custom rom.
Here's the link for global 12.0.3
Xiaomi Firmware Updater
The ultimate script that provides firmware packages for Xiaomi devices.
xiaomifirmwareupdater.com
And before you downgrade your miui version, please erase system and vendor to bypass anti roll back.
Use these commands after connecting device in fastboot mode:
fastboot reboot fastboot
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase vendor
fastboot reboot bootloader
Then flash the 12.0.3 global/12.0.1 Indonesia miui version through MiFlash.
Or
You could give flashing 12.0.1 Indonesia vendor in TWRP, and then flashing rom.
If after fastboot reboot fastboot it shows waiting for device, install this driver. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JFYCZ3mu_Y_xpnS7QrmtwqOeFnWg6DO2/view?usp=sharing
Please note that you need to be on stock recovery for fastboot reboot fastboot to work.
Happy flashing

Thank you very much! With that info, I think I finally have it working!
I case it's helpful for future users, here are some issues I encountered along the way:

Is that normal? I do have a partition named 'super' that I can see in the TWRP backup module. Judging from its size, that could be the system partition. I think there's also a vbmeta_system and vbmeta_vendor, did you mean those?

Ok, so I downloaded the full ROM for 12.0.3 global. I'm using Linux, so MiFlash won't work. But the ROM archive I downloaded contained a bunch of partition images and a shell script that would flash them using the fastboot command. I just ran that script. Windows users probably could have run the .bat file that was also included. There were no errors. And after a reboot, MIUI started to boot and presented me with the setup procedure.
I did not complete the setup (I suspect it would have just auto-updated MIUI to something that would have caused problems again) and used the power button to go into the bootloader.
From there, I flashed TWRP again (since it got overwritten by the script mentioned above), went into recovery mode, and tried to install LOS again. First, flashing seemed to hang. The last messages in the log were:
Code:
Installing file '/external_sd/Download/lineage-17.1-20210209-UNOFFICIAL-merlin.zip'
Checking for Digest file...
Target: Redmi/merlin_eea/merlin:10/QP1A.190711.020/V11.0.2.0.QJOEUXM:user/release-leys
And that was it. The border around the progress bar was doing it's busy animation thing and after waiting for 10 minutes, I used the power button to reset the device.
The second attempt went through fine, and now I have LineageOS running on the device. I still need to play around with it some more to see if there are any issues, but the flashing itself seems to have worked.
Again, thank you for your help!

Oh you're using Linux, for Linux the commands is
/.fastboot reboot fastboot
Great to know you were able to flash successfuly. Note that first boot in all roms is a bootloop, you just have to force reboot after a minute of bootlogo showing up or so.

hi i flashed a wrong twrp and now the phone keeps bootlooping, cannot enter recovery or fastboot by power + vol (+ or -)
adb from computer doesn't detect

Apparentely, you need to flash in EDL mode.
So, you need to bypass the authentication in EDL mode first.

Newbie Android user here, hopefully i’m on the correct thread...i have a Redmi Note 9 with MIUI Global version 11.0.5 and Magisk version 20.4.
I tried updating Magisk to the latest version using the direct install option but I keep getting an error. I was told I need manually patch the boot.img and flash it but I need to create a magisk_patch.img first from the boot.img.
I read some of the guides on this thread but I’m not sure which one to follow. Also the steps to create the magisk_patch.image shows I need to click the Install button on Magisk then Select and Patch a file. I only have the Update button on Magisk, can I use that instead?
Or if you have other suggestion how to fix my issue. I attached the error I’m getting when I’m updating Magisk.
Thank you in advance for the assistance.

You can't install the magisk using the direct option.
You need to the patch the boot.img file and then flash the magisk_patched.img using fastboot (or spflashtool).

HELP PLS
i first flashed the patched_magisk.img then i got in a twrp boot loop. When i try to reboot into the system i get back to twrp menu.
Then i panicked and went to WIPE and factory reseted,
but it got stuck again. Then i powered it off.
How do i get out of this? I wanted to flash the stock boot.img but the storage folders has strange names
EDIT:
i figured it out what i have done. The data was ecrypted so i formated the data. But now i have another problem:
I installed linageOS from here, but when want to reboot back to system it says
No OS Installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot? i don't undertand why the custom rom didn't install.
I just copied the .zip file with the custom rom in the phone and hit install in TWRP. What did i do wrong?

no, i mean a full guide for rooting from the beggining to end, for redmi note 9. For example i missed the vbmeta and this resulted in an error. Now i have to flash the stock firmware and wait for another 7 days for it to unlock. For newbies like me, this looks like a mess. If you don't have one, can you please create one? Do it for us, newcomers. Thanks

Question Find Device storage corrupted. Your device is unsafe now.( POCO F3 and Other MIUI Devices)

Last night I do have a problem with the custom rom that I have installed, because of the battery problem keeps on dropping, so I decided to go back to the official stock rom which is for global however after flashing the fastboot rom via Miflash Tool, I have a welcome message that says Find Device storage corrupted. Your device is unsafe now. I thought that I just need to activate this to the device admin, after a reboot I tried to check it out if this message if this message will still pop up, and it keeps on popping up. I have flashed the rom again and it keeps on happening.
Things that I have Tried:
So I tried to check for other ways that I could get rid of this but this doesnt work on the terminal via TWRP. "

forum.xda-developers.com
".
The one that works:
Things that you needed:
1. Download Mi Flash Tool(https://www.xiaomiflash.com/)
2. Minimal ADB and Fastboot
3. 7zip or BreeZip
4. TWRP A12(
TWRP A12.rar
drive.google.com
) if you are using other MIUI and devices and want to check it this will work then just use your twrp that is recommended for your mui device.
5. Global Rom (https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/alioth/stable/V12.5.6.0.RKHMIXM/)
warning: make sure that you are using the right rom for your device, my device that I am using is a global variant so I need to flash a global version, if you are using other MIUI device and want to check it out just download the miui that works for you must be on a later update of the rom if the latest current rom that you are working on right now didnt work.
Steps to follow.
1. Extract the Rom which you have downloaded using the 7zip or BreeZip, so for me I extracted the version 12.5.6.0 take note that this is not the latest rom but for this to work we need to be in a later update this rom is an android version 11.
2. after extracting the fastboot rom file type TGZ you will notice that the one that you extracted is on a TAR file type, and you need to extract the TAR file type for you to have the folder "alioth_global_images_V12.5.6.0.RKHMIXM_20220210.0000.00_11.0_global_62b4f5d6ca"
3. Using the Mi Flash Tool, just pick the clean all and start the flashing.
4. After flashing the rom set up the phone but do not update it.
5. On your extracted folder for the rom go to the folder that says images and look for 'persist" this is an img file. copy the persist img file and paste it on your Internal memory of your phone.
6. Turn off your phone and go to fastboot by pressing the volume down as well as the power button. You will notice that the fastboot logo is the older version since we are using an older rom.
7. Extract the TWRP A12 and you should have the disc recovery image of it, copy and paste it on your Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder and rename it "recovery".
8. While you are on the Minimal ADB Fastboot folder make sure that your phone is plug in to the usb port on your computer, click the cmd here on the Minimal ADB and Fastboot Folder and you should able to run the cmd.
9. run the following commands:
fastboot devices (then press the enter)
warning: make sure that the fastboot devices is able to see your device.
after seeing the device run this command:
fastboot boot recovery.img (then press enter)
the device should boot to the twrp if its on chinese look for settings and set it to english. we are not flashing the twrp we are just going to use it temporarily thats why we are only going to boot it to twrp recovery.
10. On your twrp, go to install, click the install image and look for your persist.img that we have copied earlier to your internal memory
you should find it on the sdcard folder. just flash and you will see that you have successfully flashed the persist image and then just reboot your phone.
After rebooting your phone you will notice that the "Find Device storage corrupted. Your device is unsafe now." will not prompt. Since I already have the current fastboot rom I have tried to flash the current fastboot rom and locked my device and fixed the problem permanently without any problem.

You wrote too much for something that could be written in a few sentences. And why would anyone downgrade an android or flash a clean fastboot ROM? (Android or MIUI version doesn't matter)
Summary guide:
1. Download the fastboot ROM from here and extract the "persist.img" image or dump the "persistbak" partition from your device and rename this file to "persist.img"
2. Put persist.img into your device's internal memory and go to TWRP
3. In TWRP, go to: Install> select install image> select file persist.img> select "Persist" partition
4. Restart the device, it should work fine

Wrote it down for the newbies that doesnt know how to fix anyway thanks for the summary. I have to downgraded it because the latest current rom doesnt work give me "invalid sparse file format at header magic" error as I flash the persist.img file, via twrp.

If you are using TWRP from Nebrassy then use skkk TWRP or OrangeFox. Flashing persist should work fine on both recoveries (I did it myself recently).

Thats great but this is the one that works for me anyways. At least we have found out the things that we needed in order for it to be fixed. Just sharing my ideas and how did I fixed the problem myself. Thanks for sharing of your ideas. Hoping that we could share our ideas to others as well. Been on a nightmare last night cant sleep because of this problem. Trying to figure out what to do since using the cmds via terminal on twrp doesnt work for me. Need to downgrade for me to fix it.

Could you please confirm if flashing persist.img doesn't mess up with sensor like fingerprint, l1, compass etc..? I have seen other forums talking about possibility of losing these in case perist is flashed from rom. I have this message for some time now, but all other sensors work fine, even l1 certification and saftynet. Thanks in advance.
