Damn! Guys I went to hell and came back unburnt, ama never doing all these modding stuffs again.
Remember its not being up to 2 months I bought my redmi 6 pro with the Chinese ROM, that curiosity kicked in and I decided to tinker with my phone, I just wanted to unlock the bootloader only but after unlocking it, rooting and installing custom recovery and co started calling.. that was how I mistakenly wiped all my system files that the recovery wrote no OS to boot into; it actually means that am in the soft brick gallery but I had little luck, my bootloader is unlocked and all drivers are intact and even USB debugging was on though I don't know whether it will have any effect. My phone now cycles between fastboot to twrp recovery and noting more. I didn't want to install any custom ROM cos of its bugs. I started searching, saw one rom that they said it is global MIUI v10 but flashable through recovery, I tried, it failed because the recovery wrote that it is for Ceres or so which is redmi 6 not 6 pro. Hmm! I've entered panic mode, went to xiaomi site and saw Indian global flashable through fastboot, downloaded and when I tried flashing using miflash tool, mismatch error, I went online and saw so many stuffs about editing the flash_all.bat files, didn't see any need taking such risk since most people reported the method bricked their phone. All these ROMs are not less than 1.5GB, oooh! Less I forget, I read you should first rename the .gz file to extension of .tgz, since I've not modified my laptop folder view, I did so to enable me change extensions cos extracting the .gz file with WinRAR will give you another file that needs extraction, simplest method was using 7zip but didn't know then. I later on found the original Chinese ROM both the fastboot and recovery and voom I went to download, my laptop wouldn't connect to the hotspot, I had to beg my sister to help me with her phone, she obliged but she doesn't have ucweb cos I trust that browser like hell and her phone's ram is 1GB meaning I have to stay in that app less I risk closing it or corrupting my downloads.
I started downloading the fastboot ROM which is 2.44GB, I literally plugged the phone and never removed my attention from it and it took helly years to finish and also downloaded the miflash tool v2018, had them thrown into my system and zapped them out; meaning extracted them via WinRAR. I put my dead phone in fastboot, my system recognized it since I had my adb drivers ready, imagine I had to uninstall the 2017 version of miflash tool just for the sake, the new 2018 version is a portable app not installable......
Straight I tried flashing, and the first error was that the tool couldn't find the flashing files, chei! I wanted to die but I checked the file path and like me, I love using weird symbols for filenames so I extracted the flashing files to my desktop and retried, vaam! Another bloody error, "flashing system error" I sweated on my tongues but no lele... I went to Google and saw terrible things but the most terrible was that it was likely the downloaded firmware was corrupt, I shouted God forbid inside my heart... I saw another thing, that during extraction, some files can get corrupt.. so I went back and reextracted it but this time with 7zip.... I tried flashing again... It was moving and progressing, wasting time... In my heart I was making progress.. already my bladder was overfull and overrunning so I needed the toilet, so I said if I go to the toilet and on my way back, I'll peep to my phone to check if it has rebooted which signified success but I came back from the toilet, it was still moving... Immediately I unpaused the movie I was using to distract myself, I discovered my dead phone was already booting, I flew up, went to my sister's room and woke her, this was around 2 am and kissed her cos if not that she lend me her phone, what would I have done, maybe today I'd still be feeling miserable..I had 443 niara in my sim. I'll thank ifeco pipipi who gave me 640naira and aniiii who gave me 1k to resubscribe after my system gutted down my previous 11 gig , I just resetted the system and was reinstalling some apps like chrome cos I hate edge that hates idm and I needed idm to download efficiently and I forgot to put it in metered connection cos of anxiety, that was why I opted to use my sister's phone and manage the 2k sub prudently.
So praise da Lord somebody.
No vex say I dey disturb, we have different things that tickle us and mine is electronic gadgets, I can't just do without them.
Just ignore the typos, am in the toilet.

I thought wiping system is part of process of flashing TWRP?

MrGokay:
I couldn't root my redmi 5plus, I usually get stucked on twrp not able to mount SD card

bigtt76:
It means your mobile network SIM is unable to send set up configuration to the phone. You k Ow like those GPRS OTA configurations of those days something here too. Try update your phone to the latest rom and or ti kernel around with the mobile settings to resolve it. It might be a permission issue.

frank155:


This issue arises from Xiaomi wants to activate your sim card for a fee of 50 naira. So that u why be able to senf free sms to other Xiaomi users

MrGokay:


I did everything. After i flash twrp via fastboot it asks for password which is always incorrect, very annoying

GrandMufti:


You might need to format if you want to use twrp.

Make a backup via TWRP and save it on USB OTG or SD card.
From the WIPE menu select ADVANCED
Select everything (except for USB OTG and MicroSD, that is where your backup is) and then Swipe to Wipe. Restore the backup you made.

Or

Try another recovery like orange fox or redwolf


Don't forget to flash no-verity-opt-encrypt zip

papiforreal:

Whats the purpose of the patch.. Is it for enabling camera 2pi?

MrGokay:

I have been able to root but I can't flash camera 2api as the recovery still asks for password. Anyway around that?

Why doesn't the mi pc suite recognize redmi phone's?

DLifeless1:
I noticed the version of MIUI v10 am using drains my battery faster than when I was in v9, I flashed the MIUI version 10.0.2.0 yesterday, immediately my phone got on, I had an update of about 306mb to fix bugs and it became 10.0.5.0, and this is the one that eats battery like pancake, now today I have another one v10.2.1.0. am using redmi 6 pro on stable Chinese ROM, who else is experiencing this?
