The culprit here is definitely the MIUI8. I have had the same problem recently, and read somewhere that people have had this problem mainly with MIUI8, so I tried various versions and found out that older MIUI7 versions with Android 4.4 wrk fine. Then I tried several MIUI8 versions, including...

Have you tried the Miui Flash Beta? I had the same problem of phone not being recognized by MiFlash, but then downloaded the beta and it worked fine.

Yeah, if you can, try it out. I'm running the miui 7 based on android 6 and i'm very satisfied. Everything looks and works perfectly. Sent from my MI 4W using Tapatalk

Interesting. I may try the 8.0.2 version later on. When I got it, it was on the 8.1.3, and since then I have tried only later versions.

Yeah, it makes sense, I just didn't realize it the first time. The second time was more of an experiment to try to confirm, that it was the data wipe that did it.

Ok, so I have definitely solved the problem and my original thought ended up right. So I downloaded the MIUI 7 Global 6.3.17 Beta from http://www.androidsage.com/2016/03/31/install-official-miui-7-android-6-0-marshmallow-update-xiaomi-mi4-mi3-note/ based already on Android 6.0.1, flashed using...

Please read what I wrote. I'm not talking about the autofocus. I am talking about the "REFOCUS" option. That is the function, that lets you make a picture and then later change focus, when IN THE GALLERY, not while taking the picture. Also the 120 fps recording didn't work so far with the MIUI8.

So, I have confirmed, that MIUI8 with Android 6 is the problem. Flashed MIUI7.1.2 with Android 4.4 and both the refocus and the 120 fps recording now work perfectly. Later today I will reflash again, this time the MIUI7 version 6.13.17, which is based on Android 6, to find out, whether this is a...

What happens, if you try flashing some stable rom through fastboot? I just had a problem, when I stupidly tried flashing MIUI7 after having the 8 through update and it got the bootloop problem. I could enter fastboot and recovery, so I tried flashing the 8 again, but it worked only on the third...

Are you able to access the recovery mode or fastboot, by holding the power button and volume down (volume up for recovery) button for several secconds, or is it entirely powerless?

So I have researched this further and for the moment it seems that MIUI 8 simply can't use the function. I have tried flashing various versions of the MIUI8 - I had the 8.1.3 - function is there, but doesn't work in the gallery as described before; 8.1.6 - same issue, finction exists, but...

Hi, I have just bought a MI4 W, exactly because I wanted to use the refocus option on the camera and it doesn't work. I have been trying to do this for hours now and the option simply does not exist in MIUI8. I'm running MI4 W, Android 6.0.1 MMB29M, MIUI 8.1.3.0(MXDCNDI) And it simply doesn't...

Sorry, but what are you talking about? That option you highlighted, that looks like a circular arrow has nothing to do with refocus. Its function is to rotate the picture 90 degrees. By the way im running miui8 on android 6 and the gallery doesn't have the option to refocus either.
