How to install a new rom with bootloader loocked? - Xiaomi Redmi 2 Questions & Answers

Hello I have a machine Redmi2 that does not boot, only boots with fastboot when I pressed the power off button ans Vol - button
I can execute fastboot commands.
For example:
fastboot devices

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
fastboot oem device-info
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

I could dowloaded various rom (official from xiaomi and not official like aosp-caf_wt88047_64-21-05-2017-eng.pirej.zip or xiaomi-miui-hellas-5.1_wt88047_V8_XTRVbeta2_7.2.24.zip) but I can install a new system in this machine.
First I try to unlock the bootloader with official method from Xiaomi but the result is error.
Now I try to boot with twrp and this is works.
To boot with twrp I cam execute this with fastboot
fastboot flash recovery twrp_arm64_3.1.1.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

OKAY [ 0.361s]
writing 'boot'...

Click to collapse
And with this comand boots the machine with twrp
fastboot boot twrp_arm64_3.1.1.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When machine boots I have access to external card from my PC and I can put the rom to try to install.
When try to clean the partitions I can not do it:
This is the errors
Error al desmontar '/system' (invalid argument)
Error al desmontar '/data' (invalid argument)
Error al desmontar '/cache' (invalid argument)
Incapaz de montar almacenamiento

When I try to install RR-N-v5.8.3-20170516-wt88047-OFFICIAL.zip for example I can not install this rom.
Do you know if it is possible install a rom with bootloader locked?
Doy you know if it is possible unlocked the bootloader if xiaomi unlocker does not works?
Any ideas to install a rom in this machine?
Best regards.

Thanks for your help,
I have downloaded the lastest twrp img from redmi 2, and I have the same problems.
Machine boots with twrp but I can not write in the internal partitions and I can not install a rom.
I think that I need unlock the bootloader to can to modify the android partitions but I do not know to do it.

try this one
when in twrp, open mount, give check to system, but uncheck "mount system partition read-only"
then try flash the custom rom
when tried "fastboot oem device-info" to my redmi 2 it also show "(bootloader) Device unlocked: false"
yet i can install just now, LineageOS

Hello, thanks for your help, but when I open Mount, only I can check Firmware, Persist, Micro SDCard and I can check Mount system partition read only.
I can not check System, Data, Cache and when I select Storage (Internal Storage (0MB).
I can use TWRP becuase I execute fastboot boot twrp-3.1.1-0-wt88047.img, ¿it is possible open twrp with any parameters?

I think that I can not install a new rom (offcial or unofficial) because the system I can not access to partitions /system for example and I think that system partitions is mmcblk0p23.
Do you know how I can modify my partitions to see in df -h and launch a new rom with twrp?
Thanks a lot,

Do you know Iif it is possible to clean all disk and I can recreate /system, /cache, /persist, /firmware and /data partitions?

Yes, you can recreate all the partitions and can even resize the system and data partitions. Head over to this link https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-2/how-to/wt88047-redmi-2-resize-partition-t3612933

Is there a way to create a NAND partition?

As far as I know, there is:
/boot
/bootloader
/userdata
/system
/cache
/recovery
/radio
Is there a way for me to create a new partition on the NAND to which I can write to and from?

I am trying to get us a working custom rom for this tablet. I have downloaded the stock firmware, used kitchen to de-odex system and built a rom, the problem I am running in to is an error in updater script and some other error when flashing. Any help would be appreciated.

hi,
without the actual errors your question reads like this:
HELP !!!!! I flumoxed my combobulator and now the doohickey on my thing-a-ma-whatsit is all floopy ! :crying:
:silly:
Kidding ! okay seriously,
if you can pack you /system as a system.img [not sparse] you can use the following method in your script for installation.
Code:
ui_print("***********************************************");
ui_print(" rom-test");
ui_print(" by super-dev");
ui_print("***********************************************");
ui_print("Installing System.....");
show_progress(1, 15);
package_extract_file("system.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p[COLOR="Red"]##[/COLOR]");
ui_print("Installing Kernel.....");
show_progress(0.050000, 5);
package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p[COLOR="Red"]##[/COLOR]");
show_progress(0.200000, 10);
ui_print("Installation complete!");
if you can output a system.img and it is sparse [need linux] the command to change it to ext4 is
simg2img system.img system.img.ext4
then you can rename system.img.ext4 to system.img
the partition layout by ACTUAL mmcblk0p## is : for t530nu;

[Q] Undo Encryption of /data on i9506 with CM12

Problem solved!
If you want to remove the encryption under Cyanogen Mod 12 on /data read post 1 & 2
Please note, that the device path may vary between different versions of Android and devices! So before you brick your toy ask for help
Hi,
I tried to encrypt my Samsung Galaxy S4 i9506 on Cyanogen Mod 12, which failed. So I started to undo the encryption by formatting /data, which failed too under TWRP Recovery and CWM (all versions from index thread HERE ).
Well, GUIs suck anyway and Android is kind of a penguin so why not use the shell.
Code:
# cat /etc/fstab
/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/cache /cache ext4 rw
/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata /data ext4 rw
/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system /system ext4 rw
Code:
# blkid
/dev/block/vold/179:65: UUID="E0F8-9FAE" TYPE="vfat"
/dev/block/mmcblk1p1: UUID="E0F8-9FAE" TYPE="vfat"
/dev/block/mmcblk0p25: UUID="57f8f4bc-abf4-655f-bf67-946fc0f9f25b" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/block/mmcblk0p24: UUID="57f8f4bc-abf4-655f-bf67-946fc0f9f25b" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/block/mmcblk0p23: UUID="57f8f4bc-abf4-655f-bf67-946fc0f9f25b" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/block/mmcblk0p22: UUID="57f8f4bc-abf4-655f-bf67-946fc0f9f25b" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/block/mmcblk0p21: UUID="57f8f4bc-abf4-655f-bf67-946fc0f9f25b" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/block/mmcblk0p11: UUID="57f8f4bc-abf4-655f-bf67-946fc0f9f25b" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2: UUID="00BC-614E" TYPE="vfat"
/dev/block/mmcblk0p1: UUID="00BC-614E" TYPE="vfat"
Ok, that’s unexpected! I can't determine which partition I should format to get rid of encrypted /data , so can you please help me to find the right target for the format command?

Am I right, that /dev/block/mmcblk0p26 is the data Partition? So format on the Partion with ext4 should end my problems?
Problem solved
Ok,
I'm realy bad at waiting, so I got a old phone and reproduced my problem. It was enough to just write a ext4 filesystem to /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata by using (via adb of course)
Code:
# mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata
I was curios about the device path, it was new to me, that /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata is a valid path.

Redmi 2 pro not working / partitions corrupted (phone bricked ?)

Hello everyone,
Instead of hijacking the topic of gkalen i'am going to expose my problem here, is my phone dead ?!
5 days after installing the miui v7 global rom my phone rebooted and got stuck at Mi logo.
Since then i dont have acces to xiaomi recover only to fastboot mode.
I cant use miflash because i kept getting the following error: [00000AFC]86d6ac8f 0.27 FAILED (remote: failed to write partition)
Mi PC suite isnt working either.
Today i managed to access TWRP recovery and as well adb shell, but installaing via recovery is not working as well and I get the following message:
E:Unable to mount '/data'
Same error using adb shell.
So I think the problem is linked to the partitions, let me show you thoses logs:
/dev/block/mmcblk0p24 /cache ext4 rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p23 /system ext4 rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p30 /data ext4 rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /firmware vfat rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /persist ext4 rw
/dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /external_sd vfat rw
/usb-otg vfat rw
Parted /dev/block/mmcblk0p24

I'am getting desesperate, anyone knows how to fix partitions issue ?
Actually i could need some help, if someone would be kind enough to run the following command with adb shell:
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
print
And give me the output, here is mine and I guess i'am missing a few bits...:

Hi,
were you abel to solve your problem or have you received any reply to it? I also think that my internal SD card is corrupted and to install a new ROM I have to set it up again. I always get the following error messagre if I want to flash it with Mi-flash
"remote: failed to write partition" .
If I check it with fastboot in detail, I miss the partition with the name "partition". This is the first one which is flashed, but I do not have.
My phone is 2014813.
I hope somebody may help me.

I never was able to repair it unfortunatly.

Has anyone tried partitioning for more app space?

Hi,
So since my the Gionee Elife E7 has 32GB of space but only 4 GB is for apps it's quite annoying to delete something all the time.
Has anyone had any luck partitioning ? Took a look at the partition table
Code:
Partition Table: gpt
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags
1 67.1MB 134MB 67.1MB fat16 modem
2 134MB 135MB 524kB sbl1

The partition 13 "userdata" seems to be the partition for apps and the partition 20 "udisk" is the storage for files only.
Do I need to delete all the partitions from 13 to 20 in order to extend userdata from 4295MB to 8192MB and then proceed to add 14-20 again?
Also if I performed a full backup in twrp and moved it to my PC, is it still risky to do this? Since the recovery partition is between the 13 and 20 as well
