Расшифровка часто встречающихся ошибок FlashTool:
(1003) S_COM_PORT_OPEN_FAIL — проблема в USB-кабеле (меняем кабель USB-кабель).
либо проблема в USB-порте компьютера (помогает смена USB-порта, подключайте всегда к USB, которые распаяны на мат. плате, а не выведены на переднюю панель).
(1011) S_NOT_ENOUCH_STORAGE_SPACE — возникает когда размер какой-либо части прошивки превышает размер отведенного ему пространства. Данная ошибка иногда возникает на «сырых» версиях Flashtool, поэтому возможно поможет смена версии прошивальщика.
(1013) S_COM_PORT_OPEN_FAIL — Ошибка по характеру и направленности аналогична ошибке 1003. Решения нужно искать по тому же принципу (см. 1003).
Также может помочь смена версии FlashTool.
(1022) S_UNSUPPORTED_VER_OF_DA — Нужно использовать более новую версию SP FlashTool.
(1040) S_UNSUPPORTED_OPERATION — Scatter-файл не подходит данному телефону. Например в названии присутствует MT6577, а телефон на самом деле MT6573
(2005) S_BROM_CMD_STARTCMD_FAIL — На телефонах с MTD флэш случаи возникновения ошибки:
- При выборе Download на блоках preloader или dsp_bl не установлена галка. Надо использовать подходящую версию SPFT , например v2.xxx для телефонов MT6573, или выключить режим DA Download All.
- При выборе Download на блоках preloader или dsp_bl установлена галка. Надо снять галку с этих блоков! Если эти блоки необходимо прошить, надо подсоединить телефон в режиме BOOTROM.
- При выборе ReadBack, Format или MemoryTest. Надо подсоединить телефон в режиме BOOTROM.
(3001) S_DA_EXT_RAM_ERROR — Возможно проблемы с подключением. Проверьте кабель и/или переподключите кабель в другой порт.
(3013) S_DS_SOC_CHECK_FAIL — Возможно, что в окне SP Flash Tool не стоит галочка на uboot. uboot — загрузчик операционной системы + драйверы для инициализации основного оборудования. Или когда в строке пути есть русские имена папок например: C:UsersАндрейDesktopПрошивкиПрошивка для трубы xxxxx
(3066) S_DA_HANDSET_FAT_INFO_NOT_FOUND — Возникает при автоматическом форматировании, следует попробовать установить адреса форматирования в ручную
(4001) S_FT_DA_NO_RESPONSE — Решение — сменить USB-порт и перенести SP Flash Tool в корень диска C. Еще вариант, что в файле download agent нет информации о ЦП/флэш. Решение — обновить версию прошивальщика.
Проблема может быть аппаратная, например при вышедшей из строя флеш-памяти.
(4008) S_FT_DOWNLOAD_FAIL — Способы, которые решили данную проблему:
- Смена версии прошивальщика и самое интересное, что на более старую версию.
- Смена кабеля для прошивки.
- Также возможно в процессе прошивки сел аккумулятор. Решение: зарядить телефон и попробовать прошивку заново.
(4009) S_FT_READBACK_FAIL — Кроме ошибок чтения в самом телефоне такая же ошибка при ошибках в файловой системе PC . Например не хватает места для файла или файл невозможно перезаписать т.к. он залочен. Для уточнения надо смотреть лог.
(4032) S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL — Цитата с другого форума: «Встретилась ошибка 4032 при попытке смены прошивки на аппарате с процессором MT6589 через программу Sp_Flash_tool.
Аппарат оживил, отформатировав телефон через кнопку Format (не делайте это если у вас аппарат на процессоре MT6575 или 6577) в программе sp_flash_tool, затем скачал официальную прошивку и прошил ее со всеми галочками через кнопку download. Иногда нужно удалять и переустанавливать драйверы и делать форматирование повторно, и потом перепрошиваться если предыдущая попытка была неудачной.» Также, часто ошибка возникает из-за того, что стёрт или прошит чужий preloader -> лечится прошивкой своего preloader, если не прошивается, то в начале ищется тест-поинт
(5002) S_INVALID_DA_FILE — При настройке SP_Flash_Tool download agent нужно выбирать прилагающийся к данной версии прошивальщика. Выбор других агентов дает такую ошибку.
(5054) S_DL_GET_DRAM_SETTINGS_FAIL — Лечится переустановкой драйверов, иногда сменой версии прошивальщика
(5066) S_DL_PC_BL_INVALID_GFH_FILE_INFOR — Неправильный scatter-файл.
(8045) SP FLASH TOOL ERROR — С этой ошибкой вам дорога в сервисный центр. Некоторым (очень не многим) помогла прошивка через кнопку DOWNLOAD со всеми установленными галочками.
(8200) SP FLASH TOOL ERROR — Данная ошибка возникает в случае, если вы хотите прошить прошивкой от для другой платформы. К примеру, у Вас платформа MT6589, а вы пытаетесь прошить прошивкой от телефона на MT6572 и т.д. Также может помочь смена версии Flash Tool.
(8038 или 0x1F66) SP FLASH TOOL ERROR)/(PMT changed for the ROM; it must be downloaded
— первое что нужно попробовать сделать -> сменить режим прошивки на firmware-upgrade. Возникает ошибка из-за того, что разметка в scatter отличается от разметки ROM устройства. Если после смены режима прошивки или правки scatter-файла под свою разметку всё равно выскакивает эта ошибка -> пробуйте сменить версию SP Flash Tool

ребят, чуть выше поднималась тема о прошивке с мультирома. Мультиром прошивка
Так вот, кто-то прошил? Может ее нужно через мифлеш прошить? по аналогии с редми 3 обычным?

Ognemm,
я ставил как обычно, ищешь в Mi App Store — Google Play, в поиске нажимаешь на синюю иконку, попадаешь в другой стор, там ставишь Launcher
запускаешь его, он выкачивает гугл стор
после полной установки снова идешь в Mi App Store и так же все делаешь, только под Launcher будут еще предложения Google Store, где будет версия 6.9.** с кнопкой апдейт.
обновляешь до нее, регаешь акк или логинишься
телефон был куплен на продажу, во время проверки сразу замечается что телефон более лучшего качества чем RN3P, вибро как во флагманах, качество материалов и сборки вообще норм. В руке лежит приятнее и не кажется пустым внутри.

slav032ok,
Скачиваете, разархивируете архив 
Android.rar ( 15.54 МБ )
Кладете папку в корень диска С
На телефоне надо включить режим разработчика (5 раз тапнуть по версии MIUI в пункте о телефоне) зайти в режим разработчика и включить отладку по USB. ЭТо обязательное условия иначе ничего не получится.
1 Заходим в папку: C:Android
Внутри папки, на любое пустое место (не на файлы), удерживая кнопку «Shift» кликаем правой кнопкой мыши, в выпадающем контекстном меню выбираем «Открыть окно команд». У Вас откроется окно команд от имени администратора.
2 Запускаем смартфон в режиме FASTBOOT. Для этого выключаем аппарат и включаем его зажав горячие кнопки «Громкость минус» и «Включить». Телефон загрузится в режим FASTBOOT и на экране Вы увидите логотип зайца с андроидом, подключаем телефон к ПК.
3 В командную консоль прописываем команду fastboot devices и жмём Enter
Данная команда покажет видит ли ПК Ваш смартфон в данном режиме. В ответ Вы увидите ID устройства и напротив fastboot.
И сразу же проверяем разблокировался у Вас загрузчик или нет. Вводим команду fastboot oem device-info и жмём Enter
4. Вводим следующую команду flash.bat и жмём Enter
И через несколько секунд видим сообщение о успешном окончании процесса. Для продолжения нажмите любую клавишу.
5. После успешной прошивки TWRP телефон сразу же загрузится в рекавери.
Подробнее уже не смогу
