I don't know if anybody is still looking for a solution but this did the trick for me: Basically, it involves wiping the cache and files stored by the phone app. I think the problem started for me when I switched from a third-party phone app back to the built-in one. I've also seen similar...

then one of the steps in installing must have been wrong... from distant memory it was very particular about what you wipe/format etc. I think you should consult the forum and search for 'boot loop'

just reboot it will start as normal

Mine did that too. Just turn off by holding the power button for 10s and restart

OTA booted to twrp automatically, however the decryption issue remains regardless

I received my Mi 8 Lite with global rom pre-installed, and proceeded to unlock and overwrite with the EU rom, clean install (format everything etc) around beginning of May. One week later I updated to the latest version OTA via the updater, which took me to TWRP and dirty install was all good...

The GSMArena review (below) shows electronic stabilisation working in video recording on top of the optical stabilisation. It's not clear which app or ROM version they are using but I'm guessing it's the stock app. I am on a fairly old EU rom (8.8.9) so I wasn't sure whether the camera app has...

Thanks very much for the link. When I switch to video mode, it crashes out with the message "can't connect to camera" Has anyone successfully used the video with this version?

I had the same thing. I had to download the stock rom and flash it using the Mi Flash tool which brings it back to factory setting. I seem to remember some warnings about bootloader locking when flashing (memory's foggy....) so try to get the same version you had before I guess? It sounds like...

Answering my own question here, it turned out that the version of TWRP on this forum (TWRP_dipper.img) may be a bit old to be installed on top of 8.8.9. I downloaded TWRP 3.2.2-0711 from the xda forum and that worked without a hitch.

I finally unlocked the bootloader a couple days ago and installed the latest 8.8.9 rom. The first time I did it, I made the mistake of "Wipe Data" instead of "Format", so had to put a stock rom on using the Mi Flash tool. After that, I was able to install the xiaomi.eu rom. However, I'm finding...

After a little hiccup (Wiped Data instead of Format -- could you please put this in your top post so it doesn't happen to others?), I got the 8.8.9 installed on my Mi 8. Happy to report that I'm not seeing any of the issues reported, and GPS is scarily accurate. One things is though, overnight...

That is a negatory. I can get into fastboot at least. Just so it's clear, the phone came with bootloader locked and china stable. I unlocked it tonight and put the 8.8.9 on. I found a fastboot rom for 9.5 global, if I flash this using the Mi Flash tool, would it hard brick the phone? I seem to...

I really should have read this thread more carefully, but I too did the wipe instead of format and am stuck at the android logo on boot. What is the easiest way to get back into twrp recovery mode?? thanks

Please correct me if I'm wrong. Using the default camera apps, Oneplus 6 seems to have a rock-solid stabilisation in video using both OIS+EIS, whereas the Mi 8 comes up short: Although in 4k, OP6 crops the frame quite a bit: Also I found some more information below regarding Google...

Really!? That is great news! Does that mean I can go and install *no-support-for-this-app-on-this-forum* on this and it will work without a hiccup?

Hi all, I've been trying to find this info over various forums but can't seem to nail it down. Could someone please let me know: - will the EU rom enable camera2 api by default? - has anyone successfully used video recording on Mi 8 with stabilization? If so, could you please share your...

I have a small issue that's increasingly annoyed me over the past weeks. Hopefully someone here knows the answer: I am on the xiaomi eu rom, everything has been perfect, except that when the phone is awake and not been touched for 5 seconds, the notification bar slides up and disappears. In this...
