[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] FlashyDuck:
Hope you guys can give me a hand and get me out of this situation...

What I am using

Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro with:

- Pixel Experience Rom

- TWRP 3.5.2_9

Windows 10 21H1 x64

What happend

- Updating Pixel Experience Rom failed

Downloaded update

Booted into Recovery (battery 85%)

Recovery stuck on Logo

After 30m I tried to reboot to system (thinking update failed or never started)

Reboot in to Recovery

Stuck on Logo

What I tried

- I tried XiaomiFastBootADBTools (latest version)

Device is recognized in Recovery mode

In recovery I can't do anything

Rebooting to System from here results in reboot into Recovery

Booting to fastboot works, but device is not recognized

Re-installed drivers, but no luck

Still recognized in Recovery mode

Still NOT recognized in Fastboot mode

Windows Device Manager > The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)

And turning of phone is not possible, just goes back to Recovery

Don't know what else to do. I have installed all the drivers I could find. Even used Snappy Driver, but nothing seems to do the trick when the phone goes into Fastboot mode. PC just doesn't recognize it.

So can't do anything in Recovery mode; just watching the TWRP logo.

And device is not recognized in fastboot mode; forgot usb debugging?

And can't boot into system to change that, because of bootloop to Recovery.

So, am I **** out of luck and bricked my phone?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] zaqm:
While in Recovery mode (when the phone is still recognized) type in adb window the command - adb reboot bootloader. Phone should boot to Fastboot mode and see if it's still recognized.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] FlashyDuck:
Yeah, that works. Same as with XiaomiADBFastbootTools. But after that the problem starts (remains).

When I get into Fastboot the Device Manager shows the phone as Other Devices > Android with an exclamation mark and the message that the drivers are not installed. I'm missing a driver, but I don't know which one. Guessing Xiaomi USB driver? Finally fixed that issue with another round of googling. I read that you just need net "Mi unlock Tool". So tyring to find that one:

- https://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html

results in a download that doesn't contain the files needed.... No driver_install and no miflash_unlock.exe etc.

pretty weird, found another page https://c.mi.com/thread-2262302-1-0.html with previous versions

- 4.5.813.51 won't download... really xiaomi, your site sucks.

- 4.5.707.49 finally downloads and seems to work.

So updated the driver by pointing to that folder. Worked like a charm.

Opening Minimal ADB and Fastboot (XiaomiADBFastboottools didn't recognize phone once in fastboot).

- adb reboot bootloader > success

- fastboot flash recovery 'recovery_file_location' > error

target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes

sending 'recovery' (47140 KB)...

FAILED (remote: Requested download size is more than max allowed

)

finished. total time: 0.004s

Tried both latest TWRP and Orangefox. Same message each time.

Tried an older/smaller TWRP 3.3.1 and got a different but still similar message

target didn't report max-download-size

sending 'recovery' (38924 KB)...

FAILED (remote: Requested download size is more than max allowed

)

finished. total time: 0.004s

Tried it with Platform-Tools

- adb reboot bootloader

- fastboot boot 'recovery_file_location'

Which results in

Sending 'boot.img' (43884 KB) FAILED (Write to device failed (Invalid argument))

fastboot: error: Command failed

OR

Sending 'boot.img' (43884 KB) FAILED (Write to device failed (Too many links))

fastboot: error: Command failed

AND eventually

Sending 'boot.img' (43884 KB) FAILED (Write to device failed (no link))

fastboot: error: Command failed

2 hours in, calling it a day for now.

What about trying to flash latest fastboot rom with MiFlash since fastboot now works?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] FlashyDuck:
Absolutely awesome! We did it!

I'm no expert in all this, so I had to use a guide to flash a fastboot rom with the Mi Flash Tool. I used this guide: https://www.thecustomdroid.com/install-miui-fastboot-rom-using-miflash-tool-xiaomi/

That was all straight forward untill I came to step 6; flashing the actual rom with the Mi Flash Tool.

The tool just wouldn't recognize my phone when in Fastboot mode. Even after the driver install popup.

- after pressing refresh phone disconnected.

- tried 3 different usb ports (read online that this could be the issue)

- tried 3 different cables...

The third cable (Ugreen cable) worked! Although it only worked on a usb 3.0 port strangely enough.

I used the "clean all" option and flashed the latest MIUI global fastboot rom for the RMN5.

Flashing process was a bit strange, because the tool didn't provide me with the same information shown in the guide, but it flashed a couple of things to 100% completeness and after that it kept counting up and showing $pause. Not much later the phone started to boot into MIUI and everything was normal.

Enabled dev options and usb debugging.

Re-flashed latest twrp recovery just to be sure.

And it's all working fine again.

Really, thank you for your help! It's much appreciated!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] zaqm:
Glad that it worked out. Sometimes even the most untraditional methods work like usb 3.0 and the third cable.

Still all went good and that's the good news. Enjoy

--double, woops--
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] FlashyDuck:
Unfortunately, the problem has returned.

The first time flashing Orange Fox Recovery was no problem. I could boot to Recovery. I installed Pixel Experience Plus again. That all worked fine.

Today I wanted to try out ArrowOS. And this is what I did:

- loaded the .zip file on the phone

- turned off the phone

- booted into recovery

- stuck on recovery logo screen...

- after this the phone bootloops to recovery again as before...

In Recovery and Fastboot the phone is still recognized by the PC. But in Recovery I can't do anything.

So in Fastboot mode I tried re-flashing Orange Fox , but same result. Flashing seems successful but can't get past the Recovery logo. I even tried flashing TWRP, but also same result.

I can probably redo all the steps in my previous post, but once I boot to recovery the phone is done for it seems.

Any ideas?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] zaqm:
Hmm, I don't know why is that happening. It's usually the custom recovery's fault in such case except if Pixel rom comes with its own prebuilt recovery that overwrites the one you installed.

I suggest you first to try to boot into system to see if it will work - in fastboot mode type the command fastboot reboot.

If this doesn't work then flash again fastboot rom to get the phone in working condition and after installing twrp FORMAT DATA in twrp Wipe section. Then install rom again.

Good luck, zaqm!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] FlashyDuck:
It worked!

Don't know why, but it's working. Here's what I did:

- In Fastboot Mode > fastboot reboot > booted to recovery, so no luck there

- Used MiFlash to flash the fastboot rom again (clean all)

- Setup the phone etc. and activated usb debugging

- Flashed TWRP

- Booted to TWRP

- Format Data

- Rebooted to TWRP

- Mounted Storage, uploaded ArrowOS.zip and installed it

- Wiped Dalvik/Cache

- Booted ArrowOS, and success!

Have done several reboots to (and from) system/recovery and it just works again, as it should.

I think the Format Data in TWRP did the trick. I remember in Orange Fox this all was a bit unclear; I'm just not used to Orange Fox, always used TWRP. So my bad for not correctly flashing the rom probably.

Again, thank you very much for your help! Have a great day! And let's hope this is the end of this issue haha.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] zaqm:
Maybe some glitch of OrangeFox recovery and yeah, let's hope that this issue won't appear anymore.

All the best, zaqm!

Good morning, after I successfully installed Lineage 20 on the Redmi 7a, the twrp recocery remains stuck on the logo and I cannot continue. I tried to install the Orange recocery but it remains stuck on the recocery logo. After installation, ricocery (twrp or orange) no longer starts, what should I do to solve this problem? I await your help. Thank you..

​

This project have two things in mind: Speed and Storage Space.

First part(Speed):

It will be the lightest ROM you can find. It´s optimized for speed and storage space so you can use it to make your own personalized ROM. Just have the essencial SO apps and some basic 3rd ones.

You can say it´s like an Windows XP after instalation, it´s clean for you.

Second part(Storage Space):

Because this ROM have only the essencial things in it, you have an huge storage space to install whatever you want.

And because there are no old versions build in the ROM, no files will be replaced so no duplicated space is wasted. Incompabilities and errors caused by instalations over older versions are gone with NIKI Lite ROM.

I will make an list with the most used apps, so you can download and install them as you wish.

With 3D Hardware Acceleration.

Install this .cab on the 3D ROM: HtcClassAction Driver/Tools .cab

ROM based one the latest NIKI´s official, SYS 5.2.19965, XIP 19965.1.2.3.

I recomend using the RADIO 1.65.29.22 with this ROM: RUU Nike Radio 1.65.29.22

Newer 3D Hardware Accelerated ROM with the display driver of the Cruise(DDI.dll). Optimized for 3D use.

Download NIKI Lite V2.1 3D HW ROM here

(mirror)

Newer 2D ROM, not hardware accelerated, but it´s the best we can get now for 2D. Optimized for 2D use.

Download NIKI Lite V2.1 2D ROM here

Please support the people that made this possible

For the NIKI cooks, here is the Kaiser ddi.dll. Just put it on OEMDrivers folder and cook. ;)

Sweet zombie jesus!!!!! GREAT ROM!
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Alex Minards:
Please give your feedback later... there is always some improvements that need to be made, using the users opinion.

Hehe, thanks twolf! ;)

Sry about the RAM, I know you like lots of free RAM, but this newer ROMs need bigger pagepools. This one uses a PP of 27MB.

But is using the same amount as the NIKI Lite V1, around 20MB for the OS, services and devices, wich is the lower possible on these ROMs.

;)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] twolf:
BTW, why did you called it Niki lite project v2?

Does it have any relation with the i486 post?

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Alex Minards:
Yep, it´s me... only changed my nick, didn´t liked that one :D ...

The V1 didn´t worked as spected, to much problems on the XIP and OEM .rgus... thats why I didn´t released it.

Now I´ve learned a few more things, so I´ve started from scratch, using only the HTC official 6.1 ROM. Finally it´s working...

There is more work to do, this is only the first V2 version... more will come.

BTW, included my Black Windows Media player skin, hope everyone likes it:

Please give me (a newbee) some more informations.

I use the last lilly rom, flashing radio was not necessary. My actual radio rom is 1.58.16.27. Lilly runs very fast, some small bugs are included.

What are the advantages of your ROM, compared to Lilly? Ok, its lite, that I understood, i can install the stuff i like and alsways update.

But is your ROM faster (newer driver)? More stabile?

If I want to use your ROM, i have to change the radio (or not?) and the ROM. I dont want to kill my phone when i flash radio, do you recommend the change?

Thanks for your answer.

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] maair:
Hi , just test your rom with Nike100. With 3D Driver.

Test with Skyforce (The most lag game for Nike:mad:)

3D Driver can fix lag when touch the touch screen.

But not smooth framerate.

Hope the final driver can make our Nike to be Perfect.:)

Thank you. All
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] meisterlampe2000:
First of all, this one includes real 3D-Acceleration. That means, the Kaisers driver have been ported allowing to install the upcoming TouchFlo3D plugin...

As far as i understood, this 1 is meant to be a start off - more likely the basis for a 3D test.

Am i right with that ?

Of course, you can leave the 3D thing out and use it as a quite "state of the art" rom !
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] cpt.bert:
Maybe a video? to check out how smooth its running? tnx
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] maair:
Just complare touchflo speed.

TouchFlo2D on Elfin (With Opal port rom) :Smooth (10/10)

TouchFlo3D on Nike (With 3D Driver) :Fine ( 6/10)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Pinotage:
Thanks for information.

The question would be: Is lite rom with the new driver with tf 2d faster than other roms with tf2d. I dont know if i would use tf 3d when it makes my device slower. But, I dont know the advantages of 3d compared to 2d.

Greets
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Alex Minards:
More good news!

I´ve did some testing with the display driver of the Cruiser, and so far appears to be a little faster on HW 3D than the Kaiser one...

I will update this ROM soon... new DDI.dll from Cruiser and some optimizations on the ROM.

;)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Alex Minards:
This ROM is completely based on the latest HTC´s Official NIKI ROM(dated 9/22/2008). So it includes all the bugfixes released by HTC until that date.

It uses newer drivers that require newer radios, such as any 1.65.XX.XX and 1.71.XX.XX. Older radios such 1.58.XX.XX or 1.64.XX.XX will not work with this ROM(the sound and camera will not work).

About the update of radios, you will not kill your phone, just be sure that you have HardSPL instaled and everything will be ok. You can always downgrade later.

;)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Pinotage:
Thank you very much for your information.

I just tried to flash a radio rom now and it works well, so i understand this now.

I flashed my rom several times and my "Lilly" is running well now. Thats the reason for my question, which advantages i can expect when i flash your rom. Becaus it means: to do all my settings once again.

so, what will be better?

Thanks for your patience and your answer!

I´m sorry to hear about the previous rom.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Alex Minards:
Because you are using the 2D Optimized ROM... you need to use the NIKI Lite V2.1 3D ROM to have 3D hardware acceleration. ;)

It´s because this ROM use newer drivers, wich are not compatible with older radios such as 1.58.XX.XX and 1.64.XX.XX.

It will work with 1.65.XX.XX and 1.71.XX.XX radios.

Check the 1st post: ;)

About the hardware keys, just install any EZKeyboard, like the Touch Dual default one, Diamond´s or Opal.

Check the 2nd post:

I didn´t include any EZKeyboard so that the users of this ROM can chose the one that they like, with their language. It will be better to update too, because there is no older versions instaled on the ROM, so possible errors and conflicts are minimized.
