Hey,

what a day, searching whole night how to get my phone back to life but nothing is happening. Somehow i did managed to birck my mi4c. I tried to install custom ROM with TWRP I think 'miui_MI4c_7.1.20_e887ff73d2_7.0' it finished like in 2minutes and asked me about rebbot or wipe data. Choosed reboot and only mi logo appeared.
Since then I cannot go back to recovery TWRP i had 0.3.1.0.0 version(did update today previous one was old like 0.2.8.3.0).
My phone previously was running on cyanogenmoed 12.1**with anroid 5.1.1.

The only options i have now i to go in fastboot.
Somehow ADB dont find any device now, tried all kind of versions and still the same.
I have no luck with xiaomiflash/miflash either, the program finds my device but dont flash it.
Tried too with many versions (old and new ones) but no luck....
Error:
The system cannot find the file specified .(0x800700002: flash_all_except_storage.bat)

Tried with all three options (flash all, flash all except storage, flash all except data and storage) but is giving me the same error..

I did download a few images .tgz
libra_images_7.1.4_20170104.0000.00_7.0_cn_a4e850e718
libra_images_6.1.7_20151221.0000.11_5.1_cn
libra_images_V8.2.3.0.NXKCNEC_20170407.0000.00_7.0_cn

Check for space extracted with winrar, renamed too...still same old problem.

Tried to solve with the QFIL (Qualcomm_Flash_Image_Loader), but I cant see my device there...

Drivers I think are correct one (I think)

I think i did something stupid**:((
Or I dont understand what i am exactly doing...

I would really appriciated any kind of help, thanks!!!!

But in fastboot mode you DO NOT use the ADB command, only "fastboot.exe" (on Windows). Do the following:

  1. get fastboot
  2. extract "fastboot.exe" and the DLL files to the folder with flash_all_except_storage.bat
  3. run flash_all_except_storage.bat
:good:

SOLVED!!
with this en . miui . com /thread-255776-1-1 . html and Minimal ADB and Fastboot
then i flashed it.

Now that i installed this ROM 8.2.3, it contains half english chinese apps and ofc no google apps which for me is useful.

I did unlock it via miflash_unlock(asked for unlock some days ago), and then uploaded twrp recovery.
But when I go in recovery mode there is some chinese words and three options (screen is blue-black), you can select via up and down volume and confirm with power button.
No idea why there isnt a twrp recovery.

thanks!!
