Thank you, my phone has come back to life. Now I will unlock the phone and install the Xiaomi.eu rom, so I am not vulnerable to this again.

Sadly I didn't. I did this and unlocked every previous Xiaomi phone I had, but this time I decided not to deal with the fuss. I researched this further and I seem to be at a dead end. The system has been destroyed and I can only access fastboot, not even recovery anymore. Which means that in...

I saw plenty of threads about official Xiaomi roms and OTA updates on this board in the years I've browsed it, down to the Redmi Note 2 I had years ago. You act like flashing an official rom wasn't an everyday occurrence around these parts. I really don't see the harm in asking. I just had my...

I can't believe it. I had a notification to update to MIUI 12 on my phone. I downloaded it, rebooted, everything looks normal... and then I see a fastboot logo and it gets stuck there. I never even unlocked the bootloader of this phone and did anything to it. And just like that, I lost access...

So if I flash with Xiaomi.eu, the option will reappear?

Not it's not, in the official ROM, the option no longer exists to encrypt the whole phone with your password. I doubt the Xiaomi.eu ROM is any different.

I am very, very disappointed in Xiaomi. When I first got my Mi 9, I was able to encrypt it with the lockscreen password, as the option existed in years. However it seems that with MIUI 11, this option was first moved to the developers menu, then removed entirely. So I wiped my phone, and when...

After I install this and format data/cache/dalvik, when I reboot the phone and set it up from stratch, it looks for update and then it asks to "Confirm my PIN". I never entered a PIN at all, how can this be? I think it's the Google account I was logged in prior to formatting, but it only gives...

When I try to install it on my Redmi Note 5 CN, everything works, until I encrypt the phone with the password, then it doesn't boot anymore, it just stalls perpetually at the 3 rolling dots.

I really, really don't like these new transition animations, it gives me a headache. I don't know if I can change it to something unusable. I had no problems at all with MIUI 8. I would flash back the last MIUI rom on my Mi5, but the issue is that this is going to be uniformly applied on every...
