Stuck in fastboot. Empty system partition and flashing recovery fails. PLEASE HELP!

[ShadowMonarch]

Use the last version of Miflash
Unzip the ROM to C:\
Open the file flash all.bat in the unzipped folder
remove all commands except the one that start with "fastboot"
Save the file


And flash this version

This thread was very helpful. I have edited the script, to set back my Mi Note 10 to Android 9/ MiUI 11 and lock it. I´ve changed a little the way to do this, because i´ve renamed the "flash all.sh", which produces the error notices at the end, in "flash all.txt" and copied the folder with the unzipped image to C:/ (root). I´ve marked "clean all and lock" and flashed with the notice "success" at the end. Before i read your thread always the "failed" message was shown before flashing anything, with the information, that anti rollback was active. Without this thread i have had no chance for warranty service, so thanks for the informations.

Hy,

Sure. The way you mention it, it seems to be simple. It wasn't for me because I tried that a lot of times. Every fastboot ROM that needs to be flashed via Mi Flash has those installation scripts coming with it. Those script perform a anti rollback error check and that kept returning the error "Anti Rollback check error!" everytime I tried to flash the ROM on my device.

I have fixed this issue by editing those script, removing all rules on the top of the script that performed the anti rollback error and runned the flash again. It returned an error after the flash but my phone booted up finally and everything works fine now!

I hope my tread will help some other people to!

Kind regards,

Sander

Hello,

I tried to install a global Xiaomi rom site, but I had problems with the TWRP on my Mi 10 pro

I wanted to install an official version with miflash, but I have a rollback problem.

My phone is in version 1, and the official roms are in version 0.

I don't know what to do anymore, would anyone have a solution?

Version of my phone:

Version of the latest rom found:

Your solution is possible for me?
Thank you for your help

Hy,

You should remove all commands except the one that explicitly start with fastboot. Check my attached screenshot for the edited file.

About the error of the file that does not exists: I faced the same issue that MIFlash tool couldn't find my flash_all.bat after I had edited it. I solved this by moving the whole package directly on my E: drive. So the path had become "E:\davinci_global_images_V10.3.6.0.PFJMIXM_20190603.0000.00_9.0_global\flash_all.bat" instead of "E:\*********\Desktop\adb\MiFlash20180528\davinci_global_images_V10.3.6.0.PFJMIXM_20190603.0000.00_9.0_global\flash_all.bat".

I hope that you can get it done with my explanation!

Kind regards,

Sander Horst

Hy,

I have just deleted the part of the script that performs the checks. Remove that part until the fastboot commands begin.

Please let me know if you need more information!

Kind regards,

Sander Horst

Just reimaged my Note 8 PRO. Bought on ebay a while ago, everything was perfect, until 12.5 upgrade.
Google stopped working, gmail etc.
Deleted the IF statements from the top of the BAT file, flashed the mobile.
Error in the end did not mean anything - it literally says that the checks before flashing were not performed (well, I removed them, thanks for letting me know).

It looks like those checks try to ensure you upgrade UP not downgrade. In my case I was moving from 12.5 CHINA to 12.0 or something like that GLOBAL.
However after I activated the system, i successfully upgraded to 12.5 GLOBAL.

Everything perfect now.

Global version check still returns that my IMEI is CHINESE though....
