[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] bihariel:
So, today I was going to flash miui 11 andoid 10 and made a backup of all my files to the pc. weird enough some files size was too big (a zip of a rom was like 12 gb) something was wrong there. anyway, after backup, I updated the twrp to the latest chines and after flashing the twrp I wasn't able to enter twrp, it got stuck on the spalsh screen.

So, I flashed the fastboot stable version for eea mi 9t, as usual, to restore to stock. but again it doesn't boot and it still gets stuck on twrp splash screen but after a while, twrp boots and I see that it's unable to mount data and cache.

I try to format the whole data partitions but it only gets stuck there forever.

you can see it in the screenshot attached.

The file system on data appears as f2fs. I tried converting to ext4 and still no luck, it get stuck there forever.

How long should it take to format a corrupted data partition like this?

Any help, please?

Edit: also tried using the command line to format /data myself and it gets stuck here:

I don´t know what exactly was the problem, I was trying custom ROMs and they worked fine but then I went back to stock and found my persist broken. So flashed a persist.img from the fastboot images, that broke widevine L1 and messed up the sensor, I had to recalibrate the camera etc. But after a while, the stock rom started acting weird, not receiving email, not syncing contacts, lag and stuttering etc, so I decided to flash the fastboot rom again with the wipe everything .bat. It flashed everything fine but didnt boot anymore and wasn't able to enter stock recovery anymore. Was only able to access fastboot and twrp. Tried locking the bootloader and wiping everything again and it got stuck on 99.99% when it's wiping on stock. I left it all night and in the morning I found it on the boot animation but it stayed there for hours and hours and it never booted.

On twrp I was able to mount system and all the partitions except data and cache. I tried repairing them and formating but it was always failing. I even used parted through adb shell, deleted partitions and created new ones but with the same unsuccessful results.

So, in the end, I sent the phone to the repair service under warranty and they fixed it by replacing the mainboard. So I guess the problem bricked the whole memory and who knows what else.

So be careful guys, flashing custom ROMs and other region stock ROMs isn't safe with this phone. We have people with broken persist partition, broken internal storage, sensors, bricked phones...

Personally speaking, I won't flash any custom ROMs or stock ROMs not meant for my device anymore. Xiaomi has introduced to many measures that are causing problems with flashing, similar to Huawei.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Benfatica:
Yeah, same thing happened to me buy flashing a EU beta ROM in September but I was lucky and got my phone replaced by Amazon, since It was still in return period since then I have stayed away from miui custom ROMs and betas only Aosp. But I always return to miui. And always with a back up of my entire partition.

Hello everyone I need help

How I install gsi ROM like hydrogen oxygen

In mi a2 lite daisy I have twrp but now I have miui ROM

Can I flash without reflash firmware in pc ? More options like a flash vendor boot or what thanks have a nice day my slot is A/B but boot set in (B) :svetius:
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] SubwayChamp:
First of all many users are confusing rom with firmware, the whole rom is flashed through fastboot or EDL (although OTA updates could be flashed through recovery) while the firmware is a small set of files that can be flashed through recovery in form of zips.

What I did to boot many GSIs out there? although any of them satisfied due to many bugs comparing with the developed custom roms for Daisy.

- Go to recovery and backup just the boot partition.

- Then format data.

- Then advanced wipe; data, system and cache/ART Dalvik cache.

- Transfer GSI to your device using any convenient method (transferring file or copying to your external SDcard)

- Flash the GSI on System Image partition.

- Restore the boot partition.

- Flash only the firmware zip (version may vary) Never I needed to flash the whole rom.

- Flash DFE.

- Switch to the other slot and reboot.

- If device won´t boot it could be required to flash a proper vendor version through fastboot. Pay attention to the slot that you flashed before to target the same slot if you need to flash this partition.

With this method I could boot to OneUI, Moto, nubia, ZenUI, HydrogenOS and Xperia while I can´t on ZUIOS and didn´t try with FlymeOS

anyone have this problem with the moto z3 play that RSD Lite says "the phone failed to switch to fastboot mode."? im in bootloader/fastboot mode already and trying to flash a 9.0 factory firmware since the phone isn't detecting my sim card...

sad part is its a brand new phone but voided the warranty when I unlocked the bootloader straight out the box...
[Moto Z3 Play Questions & Answers] asislife20:
You need to start it with the phone booted into the rom, it will reboot into fastboot for you, and your phone will be recognized. Kinda defeats the purpose, but that's how it works for some reason.

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] markoscouse:
AOD not displaying any relevant notifications, awful notifications in general, Android System using the most battery(though this might be just me), bloatware(removed it via ADB but still), automatic brightness randomly blinding me at night in bed.

I put Nova Launcher just to bypass some of the horrendous stuff MIUI has.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] alnord.ajmd:
Just removing the bloatwares will do for a while. But if you're gonna ask for a custom rom. It's good to install LineageOS. I've been using that ROM since I was in Zenfone2.

PixelROM has still too much bugs. And I think all the custom roms will be stable after a year.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Turbine1991:
I haven't found any custom rom to be stable unfortunately.

Miui 11 is a tad better than Miui 10. But not by much. It's still got the terrible notification system, poor recents layout and overly complicated settings (thank god for search).
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Robbo.5000:
You have a very narrow definition of stable.

Most of the ROMs are stable, however none are without some minor issues, but nothing that stops them being used as a daily. Couldn't comment on all of them, but it looks like the Oxygen OS ROM is the only unusable ROM.

There are a few that are all at a similar level, with PE being just one of them.

My suggestion is look at the ROM threads that are the most active, as they're going to be the ones with the most users, which implies they're the ones with the least bugs. After that it's personal preference as to which you choose.

Unfortunately there isn't a perfect camera solution for custom ROMs yet.

To get the best out of it, you will probably need both GCam and ANX camera installed, as both aren't perfect, but their issues don't overlap much, so between them you get almost everything covered. There are many threads that discuss which versions of each work best.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] ntmalol:
They have fixed the notifications on AOD and I agree with the bloatware problem and automatic brightness problem. Battery life is better in miui11, at least for me.

I think the most stable 3rd party rom for this device is either LOS16 or Pixel Experience based on 9. I think they will soon all move to android 10 (Official builds) before 2020. But I haven't tried any of them.

[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Pupet_Master:
I'm not positive on how it work, i think that it do have a different key for every single device. So the persist.img from stock ROMs are there for panic mode where you flash it if you lost the persist partition anyway.. so a keyless partition.

I my self had to flash persist as my ROM and storage was fine, but out of no where, by flash another ROM, the persist got corrupted, the popup camera went nuts and i had to flash the partition to fix it.. or the motor would break.

I don't care as i don't watch Movies on the smartphone. But if i did, i would be pissed

It might help to fix the issue if you can narrow down exactly where the problem is. Have you tried a different sim from friend/family? If that works then it may be a problem with your SIM/Provider. If that also doesn't work, then try a different messaging app like Truecaller, and make it the default. That should tell us if the problem is with your messaging app.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Oof101:
I don't think the issue is with the messaging app as all the other messaging apps I tried did not work, for example, google messages. I tried them sim in a friend's Iphone and it worked perfectly.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] scarmage:
Okay, so your SIM works on other phones. Have you tried other sim on your phone? If that is working, then you could just get a replacement sim from your provider. It won't help to identify why it's happening, but atleast you'll have working SMS.

If that is also not working, then I have no clue. Maybe some expert can pitch in. :)
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] TechGenius:
Can we downgrade oreo to nougat or marshmallow without any issues ?
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
If you do downgrade your stock (i.e. Motorola) firmware, there's a few things to bear in mind:

1) you will need an unlocked bootloader to downgrade firmware. The process of unlocking your bootloader will erase your device, so back up accordingly. If your SD card is adopted as internal storage, the encryption key for your SD card will be erased too. You'll lose your SD card data. Also, you will not be able to lock your bootloader unless you flash the latest stock firmware again (if you're on Oreo firmware, you can only use Oreo firmware)

2) downgrading is usually straightforward. However, you will not be able to downgrade your bootloader and GPT. For this reason, do not use OTA updates whilst downgraded with stock firmware. You'll likely hard brick your device.

3) instead of flashing the stock firmware, you could alternatively unlock your bootloader and then try the TWRP flashable firmwares https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/development/rom-oreo-8-1-0-soak-test-t3873367 you will need the TWRP recovery, however TWRP flashables might be safer to use to downgrade than flashing stock firmwares.

Hi,

When i first got my BA, i upgraded from WM2003 to WM6.

This worked ok for everything (A few glitches here and there but i could live with them), but then, my phone battery had ran out, i charged it and loaded it up again and it now shows No Service on the today screen, so I can't make any calls off it.

I also noticed that when the phone boots it shows No GSM where it used to have 2 different numbers.

I've tried reflashing it to WM5, and also to WM6.1 but both of these didn't seem to fix it. The WM6.1 version I used can be found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=390862

Partial solution for "No signal" problem

I think the idea was posted by xplode sometime ago- I spent a day playing with it, but it finally worked for me.

0) I had unlocked BA with 2003. Later on I upgraded it to WM 6.1 and then at some point I've got this "No service" issue. I upgraded my Radio to 1.15 (it did not help me- but I did this in the very beginning, so may be it matters)

1) I downgraded ROM to one of 2003 ROMs (xplode has a collection: http://tinyurl.com/cozbbx)

-) downgrade instructions are in here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_1.40.00_Upgrade

2) I unlocked band page for the network connection- it was discussed in (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=297099)

2.5) I finally used this cab : http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=23788&d=1121269005 to set band selection to 900/1800 (still no service)

3) I removed sim card and did a hard reset followed by soft reset. I put a sim card back and soft reset BA.

--- I guess at this point it's 2003 with 900/1800 band and working

4) I upgraded my ROM to 6.5 and it is working now.
