Hey guys, so I just flashed MIUI V5 from this week and it worked like a charm, but then I tried updating to the .17 update that came out today, and it seemd to flash perfectly, but then my device rebooted and now it is stuck in a recovery bootloop, always boots to recovery, tried changing recoveries, wiping cache, data and dalvik and nothing so far.

I may be able to fix by just flashing a KDZ, but then ill loose all my data, do you guy know of any other solutions :/? Thanks

Info:

Model- E977
MIUI V5 official ported rom .16 android 4.4 release
Unlocked through Mako method
Philz touch official latest.

Same thing happened to me, i think kdz is the only way out. I didn't get to see the files and changes on 4.8.17 zip i thought it was unsigned and may had some other problems.

That is only recovery.img file. It isn't recovery partition. But I wander what it did with recovery.img. Maybe that is the reason why you got recovery boot loop.

Yup, Kdz was the only solution for me, spent the day learning how to use ADB to pull out all my files, I think i recovered the most important stuff, and picked up a little bit of adb knowledge so all good, never had a good experience with MIUI Ota`s tho, only manual flashing from now on:p

Alright, first, do you know what ADB is? If not watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVXX-YdhRU0

The command to pull stuff from the phone is: adb pull "Directory you want to pull"

For example: adb pull /sdcard/

That should pull out everything in the internal storage to the adb folder.

It is mostly about logic, so after a few times of screwing up your phone and a few hours playing with commands and such you'll get used to it.

Today we got v 8.21. I wonder if the error still exist :( I'm about to update now, will report soon.

Edit: still recovery boot loop. Don't even try to update. Or you'll end up kdz the whole thing.

Edit: Anyone knows how to report to developer of the rom?
