You flash the fastboot rom through fastboot by using mi flash tool. You flash normal rom through TWRP.

Zip is for Recovery (that's why it's called Recovery firmware/rom) and Fastboot firmware/rom is for MiFlash.

Thanx! you really helped me

[Q] Eclair 2.1 rom

I was looking for a light 2.1 rom and found this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038337 (Lite edition)
Being a beginner, i got a few questions.
Do i need my phone flashed to V20E using .kdz beforehand? My current is V20B + fastboot.
There is kernel img provided, but iam not sure how to use it.
Which clockwork recovery do i need? As i understand 2.1 roms can only be flashed with old recoveries, such as 2.5.x.x . My current version is 3.0.2.4.
Thanks.
Img files can be flashed via fastboot commands:
on your PC type:
fastboot devices (makes sure its recognized)
fastboot -w (wipes data, cache)
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
You'll need the fastboot drivers to be installed of course
Tnx for fast reply.
But do i need V20E.kdz rom specifically and flash my phone with KDZ updater? I couldnt find working links for V20E.kdz, only A,B&C.

System delete..

Hello! I have an P8Lite ALE-L21 unlocked and by mistake I delete the system.. Now I don't have OS to boot
What can I do now to have back?
Download the rom for your phone then install the rom using the recovery system op the phone.
If that doesn't work try flashing the rom through fastboot.

I tried both but it dosen't work
I don't find source with system.img
Use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454&page=31 to extract the system.img
- Fastboot flash boot boot.img
- Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
- Fastboot flash cust cust.img
- Fastboot flash system system.img
- Fastboot reboot
Use those commands and I hope it will be fixed.

Good evening,
please be patient. DLoad and extract with 7zip the firmware from here. Extract the firmware again. Now you have the original boot.img from MIUI.
In Fastboot flash the boot.img with "fastboot flash boot boot.img".
If above method won't work, re-download the rom file, this seems corrupt.
Next time try to fresh flash the rom instead of ota, some ota are broken and would have some issue like this.

which of those rom? the first one, 8.1 almost destroyed the system (with the boot.img) and I had to put the boot.img back from the twrp backup, so which link is right?
Edit: I think, indeed, I'm sure I need the boot.img of the rom that I have or lineage, but I do not know how to extract it from the zip.
Hi,
okay. I think the best way is you flash first the original Firmware from here with Xiaomi Flash Tool. DLoad and install on your PC. DLoad and read this Site.
Now you have the original Firmware installed. Go to settings, about the Phone, Buildnumber. Tab 7 times on it and than go to the Developer. Open OEM and US-Debugging. Reboot into Fastboot. In ADB/Fastboot write "fastboot devices" and your device must recogniced. Than write "fastboot oem unlock". After this you get a reboot to system. Now look again iin settings, devoloper if oem and usb-debugging on. Reboot in fastboot your Phone. Now write again "fastboot devices". Is everythink okay than write "fastboot boot recovery-3.2.1-2-oreo.img". Now you have twrp installed. In twrp flash the twrp-recoveryinstaller-3.2.1-2-oreo.zip. After this you can flash your favoryte Custom Rom. Good Luck :good:

No thanks, bye

I need help with twrp ASAP please

I flashed 3.3.1-2 twrp and then installed a couple different roms to compare. Then I'm not quite sure what happened, I know I formatted and tried to install another, then I lost access to twrp. Even though it says I'm successful at flashing it, it won't boot into twrp or any recovery for that matter. What should I do? I've tried two different twrp's and neither will boot up. I've tried the .bat and volume+ and power, and I even tried with the fastboot boot twrp.img command.

What do you see exactly when you try to enter recovery mode? Stock recovery? Or fastboot? Which recovery have you tried? (provide links)

Glad to know I was able to help, it happens with me and this is how I fixed ?
Hello! Had the same problem and the procedure let me access recovery, yet everytime I reboot to system, the phone opens recovery instead.
I tried restoring a backup but rom is unstable and stuff keeps crashing. Any ideas?
EDIT: did a fastboot flash of .9 ROM and at got it back to work.

So I tried to go back to MIUI and it did it again, I did the default wipe and tried to install it. It got stuck in a bootloop and wouldn't go into TWRP again. Tried what you prescribed again, but that didn't work. I tried using the command (fastboot boot recovery.img) and it just shut off. It's clearly not flashing TWRP, but I have no idea why. I tried both 3.3.1-2 and 3.3.1-3, neither worked. I tried flashing more of the fastboot ROM images, but that did nothing either. Any suggestions? I'm having to use my old moto g5 until I get this fixed, so help ASAP would be amazing. Thanks in advance!
