Stucked in Fastboot mode

Hi Guys,
I am stucked at fastboot mode afterb trying to flash back to China Rom,how to get out of it?
Thanks in advance.

Mi max 3 anti roll back, you mus flash last version to unbrick your device

1. This is not the right section for this question.
2. if you came from 8.8.23 China Beta you have Anti-rollback, which means that to move to china stable you would have to wait for the next china release and flash it from the updater app and not from fastboot. I know its annoying but its safe. If you are stuck in fastboot try flashing latest 8.8.23 China Beta from mi flasher
3. if you came from 8.8.9 China Beta, Try flashing 8.8.9 again

This happened me too today. My phone arrived with the fake global rom 9.6.4. I was flashing official Chinese rom v9.6.11.0 and got a message saying flash successful, however a window also popped up saying MiFlash stopped working and my phone was stuck on the fastboot screen then.
If you find a solution to this problem I would appreciate it and vice versa.

STUCK TWO!!!

1- flash and boot to twrp
2- format data then wipe (system and cashes)
3- flash xiaomi.eu 8.8.9 or any release before that and reboot
4- use mi flashtool to flash any stable before 9.6.12 or beta before 8.8.17 and choose wipe all and lock in mi flashtool ( this is very important to unlock it your self later with official permission)
Goodluck

yes, most of the unlocked phones from retailers are unlocked without official authorization and that is the main reason for ADB/fast boot fails in some cases , I have MM1, MM2 and now MM3 and I know this by experience.

hi, you enlighten me so much. can i ask more? now what rom do u use in mi max 3? and why?

So to rectify, I tried to flash the official China ROM V.9.6.11 again. It did not flash properly again the 2nd time.
I then asked it to "flash and lock". Official China ROM flashed now and operating on my phone.
My plan is now to apply to have the phone OFFICIALLY unlocked, as it was obviously unofficially unlocked to put the fake Global ROM on it by the vendor, which caused a problem being stuck in Fastboot.
I do not mind waiting the 2 weeks, and once unlocked I will either put the Xiaomi.EU rom on it, or hopefully the official Global ROM will be released by that time.

You must relock and unlock with official mi permission to avoid fastboot flashing issues.

Where I can download the official rom to use mui flash?
Where i can find an explanation to use mui flash? Cause after lock the boot loader the phone is in bootloop...

What do you actually flash in step 1?
Is step 3 really necessary? Why can't I flash from the fake ROM directly to 9.6.11?
Thanks, man!

in step (1) flash official twrp ( I used minimal adb v1.4.3), step (3) is to have correct firmware and avoid mi flasher fail and boot loop ( many guys try flashing directly from fake rom to China but ended up with bootloops)
Googluck

Alright, so I am on China stable 9.6.11 with TWRP (not Xiaomi original recovery). When I flashed my latest ROM, I chose "clean all and lock (bootloader)" per your instructions and I applied for offical bootloader unlocking by downloading Xiaomi flash unlocking. I still have 500+ hours, but I was told when my bootloader is unlocked eventually, my user data will be erased again.
So will it be a better idea to flash global stable ROM first or wait for the official bootloader unlocking then flash global stable ROM?

Question: I have China Stable 9.6.12.0 on mine Max3. If I want to install the Global Version should I have to wait for Global Version equal version (9.6.12.0) or later? Os there any suggestion to flash the incoming Global 9.6.7.0 on mine (ARB suposed to be implemented in mine version)?

what rom can i flash on it ?

Go back to Stock ROM from Custom ROM (Help)

Hello you beautiful people ,
I recently purchased a Redmi Note 5 AI and i want to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom ROM since i'm not happy with MIUI, i have read about ARB and i'm fully aware that i can't flash an older MIUI ROM with a lower ARB than what i previously had.
But what's absolutely confusing me is if i decide to change my mind, how do i go back to Stock Everything (ROM, Recovery, Bootloader) basically and be able to receive OTA's from Xiaomi normally again? (I tried to search the forums to find an answer but i couldn't find anything so please don't tell me to check the forums).

Doing that will lock the bootloader and bring back the stock recovery as well, and i'm able to get OTA updates again?

You will get option to lock the bootloader or keep the bootloader unlocked
Yes this method will bring stock recovery and you will get OTA updates.
You have to download global ROM to flash it on global variant device
Or China ROM to flash it on Chinese variant device

In MiFlash software. Select clean_all and lock option to lock the bootloader
Yes you can flash 10.2.2 or any older ROM wich has ARB value 4 (you can flash any ROM between 9.5.19 to 10.2.2)

flashing the Indian fastboot rom without bricking the device

My redmi 6 pro had a chinese rom out of the box. Can I unlock bootloader and flash the Indian fastboot rom without bricking the device? As I live out of china and I rather have a non-chinese rom.

I have the same question.

Flashing indian rom will lock the bootloader. You can unlock again after flashing but, many user faced 30 days unlock waiting time for the second unlock. Keep that in mind,
And if you prefer global rom, use xiaomi.eu rom.

I heard that it may brick the device. What about that? As I don't have access to any official repair store. Btw I need the chinese fastboot rom incase anything goes wrong but I can't find it as it's not in the downloads page(only india rom). What can be done?
I want the eu rom flashing process to be completely safe and reversable in the future. But I don't have any china fastboot rom.

And I already unlock the bootloader in this China Rom i just haven't change it to the global Rom
At first I want to flash the Rom through recovery so I try to install the TWRP recovery in this device but I can't install it it keep showing me logo and boot into original recovery
Now I want to change to global 12.5 Rom through fastboot

Use this tool for stock rom.
Don't relock the bootloader
If you lock it when there is global rom , it will brick .
https://xiaomi.eu/community/ or https://one.revtechs.me/en/index
roms are better than stock.

Question Flash official redmi k40 firmware on poco f3 via fastboot ?!

can you please answer me , if i can flash the Official Firmware (enhanced edition 12.5.6) of the Redmi K40 on the Poco F3 using Mi_Flash_Tool with unlocked bootloader in Fastboot Mode ?!
Thanks in advance

i cant see any issue as long as flash all & lock is not selected. Why not just install Miui vn or Eu they are based on china.

Yes you can but dont lock bootloader.

thanks for mentioning that , it is really important cause it will brick my device , but why ? they are the same phone and hardware ?

The ROM miui vn is also the enhanced edition i believe. Regarding flashing the official once via mib flash in sure it's fine as long as you don't lock bootloader with it.

If u lock bootloader after flash, the motherboard crash because not same region that he configurated. So if u let him unlock bootloader, ure device won't think about region and let u boot into ure china rom

it is not about the motherboard , it is about the bootloader because it the system check for your device and its security , it does not crash it will not boot because the bootloader cannot accept such system to run on that partition except the official one for the motherboard

So, it is mandatory to unlock the bootloader even when you are flashing stock firmware?
Just don't lock it again with other firmware?
I'm currently using Global MIUI 12.5.4 version but was thinking of flashing Mi 11x firmware.

No, It only applies here where the firmware wasn't made for the device but if you're going to flash a stock firmware that was made for your device the you don't need to unlock it
