From global beta 8.8.7 can flash to fastboot global stable 9.5.13.0 ?

I need back to global stable rom.

My bootloader unlocked
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] the face:
Partly, it IS a very stupid policy of Xiaomi not to allow a relock of the bootloader. It´s not customer friendly, it´s a possible security problem and leads to various problems like that one here. They really should change that idiotic policy. On the other hand it says everywhere "DO NOT RELOCK BOOTLOADER OR YOU WILL GET A BRICKED PHONE". So that´s a bit each ones own fault for not double or better triple checking. About the use of that edl authorisation can be argued of course...
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] toughpower:
Yes, but it's not a big mistake, I just accidentally locked bootloader. Why I couldn't unlock it again?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gulp79:
It's a Xiaomi problem instead. They can't brick our devices for their (wrong) security policy.

If i want to restore a terminal i own, also after a downgrade or after a wrong lock, i've to have the possibility to restore it.

Also Apple dosn't permit software downgrade, but it dosn't brick the iphone if you try to downgrade...

The bad things is that i don't know if the userbase has the power to revert Xiaomi decisions on this subject, these chinese are not too prone to ear to user suggestions and needs.

[MENTION=4867434]toughpower[/MENTION]

Btw to solve your problem, if you can, ask a Paypal refound, or send it in a service center (i don't know if Xiaomi has service center in Croatia, but you can ask to an italian service center....LINK) maybe in 15/20days you can have your terminal back.

I followed you step by step, but there is a problem:

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] trungthanh1288:
What you mean safe to use ?

For install this rom. You must have unlocked Bootloader using Xiaomi unlock tool. Then download rom and Xiaomi flash tool. Turn your device to fastboot mode by: turn off => hold vol down + power button. Open Xiaomi flash tool. Extract rom with winrar. Choice rom folder in Xiaomi flash tool. Refresh and click Flash and wait. If you don't need root your device then just let it boot in to system.

Else: when flash tool done. You must enter fastboot mode ( don't let system boot up ayer flash ROM ) and flash twrp then reboot to recovery by hold vol up and power. Download https://zackptg5.com/android.php#disverfec (DM-VERITY & FEC DISABLER) and flash it via twrp. Reboot to system and now you can flash masgisk in twrp to get root permission

Achickennugget have introduction in this thead

How to do it: Fastboot format data, fastboot flash ROM, Use Fastboot flash TWRP. Enter TWRP, Format Data, flash ztpg (anti encryption and DM Verity), flash whichever magisk version you want, flash universal safetynet fix, boot up .
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ingin7:
Sir how to enter fastboot mode after flash ROM done? Because after flash ROM done automaticaly boot up to system.

If firmware version is same or higher, flashing should be fine, not too sure though.

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] trungthanh1288:
You have to watch it. When rom has been flashed. It will reboot and you have to enter fastboot right here by hold vol down and power

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] the face:
C´mon people, how can you all blindly tamper with your phones without any knowledge or at least research before risking to have a really expensive brick. I cannot understand this attitude. Nevertheless, TWRP allows direct file transfer, so just boot into TWRP, connect your phone to your PC and just copy files to the phone´s data partition.

It's the only way to learn. There always has to be a first time.

I've flashed and tweaked almost all devices I have: phone, TV, drone, PC BIOS...
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] the face:
No, I absolutely disagree! There are numerous tutorials, YouTube videos and other possibilities to research and learn BEFORE destroying your device. If you did all that and still need help, there are plenty of people willing to help. But not the other way around!
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] skanskan:

Of course, try after you gathered all needed information - and now go over to the official Xiaomi forums and start counting the already bricked Mi 8 phones. Or just read the thread here once again. It´s just crazy and that was the reason for my original posting. But hey, I´m not the one with a 500$ brick, so whatever :P
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PhilipZhu:
Thanks a lot, I can't find the direct transfer option, it's weird...my twrp is 3.2.2 I believed...I can't agree with you btw.the best way to get better is to do it by yourself, not gathering information, only that will help you to improve and find problems.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] the face:
Sure, good luck with unbricking your phone, especially since Xiaomi won´t give out edl authorisations anymore. And since you prefer to try stuff and improve, I´m also not helping with anything about TWRP anymore. I´m sure you´ll manage. Happy learning :)

The question is: It´s done? What sould I do? Wait? Reset the phone?

Thank you in advance
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] the face:
I found the status display of Miflash very confusing. There is not a general progress bar, each partition or file got it's own progress bar and time shown. But I remember there was a message in the end like flash successful or something and the progress bar was green (if I remember correctly). After that I just rebooted the phone, the first boot took a while, but everything worked after.

How about using the same way you got Miui10?

---------- Post added at 10:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 PM ----------

I agree to that, some phones seem to be affected, most obviously aren´t. There is also no word about it in the official chinese Xiaomi forum, where the majority of devices are probably sold. So it seems to be software and specifically Google related. Also the solution from that turkish forum was Google related, right? But I´m just guessing here and it´s off topic, since it´s obviously not a general problem about the rom this thread is about.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ariekumbang:
I flashed the same way but i can't get through the pattern lock screen. It shows wrong pattern.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PhilipZhu:
Anyone have problems with the charging speed ?it seems a lot slower than the Chinese stable rom...
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] the face:
That is why you should always disable any passwords BEFORE flashing. But as we learned here already, researching before tampering with the phone is totally useless, right? Lucky for you, you at least didn´t brick your phone completely. This problem happens, when your update or downgrade doesn´t delete the existing lockscreen data in DATA/SYSTEM. I wonder how that´s possible if you flashed a fastboot rom with Miflash, but whatever. So install TWRP, boot it, use the built in file manager and go to DATA/SYSTEM. Look for the files: password.key, pattern.key, locksettings.db-wal, locksettings.db-shm, locksettings.db. Delete or rename any of the files you find. Not all of them neccessarily exist. Reboot and it should work again...
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] trungthanh1288:
Enter TWRP, then in mount. Do you see Enable/Disable MTP ? Plug your phone in computer and you will see
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PhilipZhu:
I found that option ,Many thanks for the help buddy.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] raphaelmo:
Well, I was on Chinese 9 Stable and after the Chinese 10 Beta, and my gps used to work just fine.

Now I unlocked the bl and flashed the Global 10 Dev and the GPS is not properly working anymore...

From that:

1) It´s not my phone

2) I tried a couple of solutions, but didn´t test on maps yet.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] the face:
I disagree. I went from China stable 9.5 (locked bootloader) to global beta 10 8.8.7 (unlocked bootloader). Everything works perfectly. So it´s not the 8.8.7 rom that ****ed up your GPS, otherwise we all would have the same problems. Therefore it´s your phone. I can only guess there are certain partitions that aren´t getting overwritten to factory defaults when flashing 8.8.7. So your faulty gps stays. Question would be, what rom would really overwrite everything. But as I said, I´m just guessing and we´re still off topic. Not a bug or problem of miui 10 8.8.7.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] raphaelmo:
Ok, you are free to disagree, since you do understand that BEFORE it was doing fine, and now it does not.

What we may both agree is that the problem could be due overrwrite issues. One thing I´m pretty sure: it is not my (hardware) phone.

See you in the rigth topic though. ;)

Both do the same, flash through fastboot and those scripts come from official downloads. If you extract the tar.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] grootooter:
Dirty flashed.

-> GPS issue as well. No satellites shown in GPS test anymore. A-GPS settings changed to google, still not working. It was fine with china+global stable just a couple minutes before.

Probably the dirty flash is the reason...

Edit: never mind. I switched off instead of just rebooting, switched on - GPS works fine now?!
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hugge18:
Do this to get the gps working:

1. Download QuickShorcutMaker and search for a-gps settings.

in the a-gps setting page setup like this:

Access Network Type: Change to be the whole network.

Server Address: supl.google.com

Server Port Number: 7276 and click the Save button.

2. I disabled a option in battery settings ("Nicht interaktiver Modus" in german). It says that MIUI will disable some stuff if it detects that im not using my phone. Maybe it disables the GPS and it can't be reenabled, only with a reboot?!

Use App GPS Test

3 dots -> AGPS -> Clear and Update

i also did this:

under battary settings

choose aps

"3dots upper right corner" show system apps

"Google Play Store" -> no restrictions

This worked for me

3. nope (you can install and start the app, but it terminates with unknown ARCore error "UnavailableDeviceNotCompatibleException"), here again no real reason, why it shouldn´t work since the Mi8 is listed as supported device (https://developers.google.com/ar/discover/supported-devices)

Hello, here is how I did it. I agree, you might misunderstand (as I did) the short tutorial posted:

- Unlock your bootloader if not done already with Mi Unlock tool

- Boot into fastboot (power + down vol) and flash ROM with Mi Tools [Important : Do not clean and lock, just clean all or it will brick your phone with no possible recovery. I personnally renamed the cleanandlock.bat and .sh so no risk taken in case of..)

- Let the phone boot up until the first MiUI10 installation screen and shutdown the phone

- Boot into fastboot again and now flash TWRP img (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid...45805528068853)

- Still in fastboot mode, format (and not wipe) data partition with : fastboot format userdata

- Boot into recovery mode (power + up vol) until TWRP screen

- Transfer Magisk img and DM Verity tool (https://zackptg5.com/android.php#disverfec) to phone

- Flash DM Verity tool and Magisk

- Reboot to system

- Flash universal safety fixer after

However, Magisk always ask for an update in my case and safetynet control fails (invalid response) even tho Safetynet fixer is shown in modules of Magisk.. Wonder why.

Edit: I successfully flashed 16.7 after uninstalling magisk first. However I don't have the correct universal safetynet fixer for 16.7 so if anyone have it..
