[fix] Can't Upgrade To Latest Xiaomi.eu Dev Roms (7.9.21, 7.10.12 & Up)

[Soebianto]

It seems that many Kenzo users having problem upgrading to some last Xiaomi.eu Dev ROMs (7.9.21, 7.10.12 & 7.10.19), turned out this has something to do with file 'emmc_appsboot.mbn' (confirmed, flashing this file fix this problem, but please read the post and guide carefully).

Updated : started with dev rom 7.10.26, EU rom included the emmc file back in the rom, so there is no need to flash the emmc file separately, if bootloop happens after upgrade all you need to do is use Mi Flash Unlock to re unlock your bootloader.

A little history..

Xiaomi.eu ROM Creators started removing this file from their Kenzo Dev ROM since 6.11.17 to protect people who unlocked their Bootloader UN-OFFICIALLY from getting bootloop (Xiaomi changed something related to bootloader that resulted in people with UnOfficial BL get bootloop if they flash that ROM, then since Dev ROM 7.3.16 Kenzo-ers started to having the 'reboot to recovery' bug, then started with 7.9.21, many Kenzo-ers (those has been using xiaomi.eu for quite some time, their 'emmc_appsboot.mbn' is old) started to get bootloop if they flash the ROM).

(all this also happened to Redmi Note 3 Special Edition / KATE, Redmi 3 / IDO & Redmi 3s / LAND, so the same procedure can also be applied to KATE & IDO).​

To fix this problem (and also the reboot to recovery bug), all you need is update the 'emmc_appsboot.mbn' file, you only need to do this once.

WARNING (really important) :
1. This is for OFFICIALLY UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER ONLY.
2. MAKE SURE your device is USING the SAME Mi Account you used to unlocked the bootloader.
3. Turn on USB Debugging & OEM Unlocking in the Developer Options.
4. Make sure your bootloader is still unlock (Fastboot mode, type 'fastboot oem device-info').
5. After flashing this file, some people had their bootloader re-locked and bootloop (it was smooth for me, not re-locked bootloader or bootloop), fortunatelly once you unlocked the bootloader officially, you can use Mi Unlock tool to unlock it again without asking for permission.
6. Backup important data on your phone to SD Card or PC ... better safe than sorry, right?).

Note :

*) It turned out that this problem also happened to Mi4c & Mi4s users (Xiaomi.eu ROM Creators started removing the 'emmc_appsboot.mbn' file from their Dev ROM since 7.7.13, and Xiaomi changed something related to bootloader with dev ROM 7.9.21), so the same procedure also works for Mi4c & Mi4s, just use the 'emmc_appsboot.mbn' file from the official MIUI China Developer ROM for Mi4c & Mi4s or you can use the one I provided in that thread.

Nope, all these were true, and Xiaomi.eu rom started to include the emmc file again since 7.10.26, that's why they included warning at the 1st post (you can download eu rom 7.10.12 and see for yourself there is no emmc file.
