Hi. I prepared a list of all partitions in mi pad 4 created by xiaomi in miui 10. I looked in the xda forum for descriptions. This what I found I added for comment the list.

Code:
clover:/ # parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 p
Model: MMC DH6DAB (sd/mmc)
Disk /dev/block/mmcblk0: 62.5GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
Disk Flags:

[Firmware] - These partition contains firmware files. These partition are updated when you flash a new ROM.

[Backup] - These are backup partitions which store backup files of the original partition. User can use these partitions in case the original partitions are messed up. These partition are also updated when you flash a new ROM.

[UnlockToken] - This is the partition where the unlock state of the bootloader is stored. This partition is updated when you use mi unlock tool to unlock the bootloader. This partition changes with the change of the bootloader. If the bootloader is changed, this partition must be recreated using the mi unlock tool.

[Persist] - This partition contains all the sensors calibration, without this partition no sensor will be displayed. Not even the rotation sensor will work. This partition does not effect GPS, WiFi or Bluetooth.

[Cust] - This partition contains some more bloatware apps distributed by Xiaomi. Cust partition consists of copy of apps ,and language packs that get installed as per region on first boot or when user changes its region (country) artition Layout

[EFS] - Now this is the most important partition. This partition contains all the unique identification of your devices, like your IMEI, Mac address, Bluetooth address and some other stuff. This partition is very complex and updates on every flashing. So it is mandatory to create a backup of this partition.

[ ] - These partitions are unknown and are created automatically during first boot. Erasing these partitions seems to do nothing

(TWRP:Name) - partition Name in TWRP
Unidentyfied TWRP partitions: Systemimage, Firmware, Vendorimage, EFS, hvp,

Hi, I have a mi pad 4 LTE which I can't turn on the radio and is stuck with no service.

Any idea how I can fix this? Already tried wiping modemst1 and modemst2 but no luck.

Unfortunately, Mipad 4 doesn't support 3G bands. It only works with LTE. If you don't have LTE coverage in your area, it shows no signal. That could be a problem. Also, try to flash modemst1,modemst2, and fsg again. You should've flashed it again instead of swiping.

I recently flashed to MiUI 11 and my persist tends to be stuffed too. Rotation works but is out by 180 degrees. I didn't format the partition or anything just normal TWRP installation. I have flashed with stock Chinese etc still does the same thing. Please can someone help, driving me crazy. Thanks

So just an update. I flashed with "Xiaomi EU MIUI11 11.0.2.0 Pie for Mi Pad 4 Plus.zip" and the rotation gets messed even if I backup and restore your persist partition. I have to install "xiaomi.eu_multi_MIPAD4_9.8.29_v10-8.1.zip" and then restore your persist partition and things work fine again so it appears either way the MiUI11 ROM is buggy. Good thing your persist works though.

Yes same problem... I don't know if the dev is going to fix it... Btw the persist is not mine, a guy on the miui11 thread posted it! [emoji1419][emoji1419][emoji1419]

Hi

Hi, i need backup EFS mi pad 4 plus e mi pad 4, please. thank you

After I installed a rom, the tablet had a problem rotating, then followed a tutorial that moved the files in this folder. After that the rotation was even better, but the WIFI network goes down all the time, I've tested other devices that I have here and they don't fall, only in my two mi pad 4 and mi pad 4 plus in which I did these procedures. Help me please. If I reset the original files, is everything back to normal? I can not take it anymore.
