Problems installing the e tomy mi mix 2s

[16locke]

Hi everybody.

I trie to install e on my mix 2s. Everything looks sleek until the reboot,which brings me directly back to the fastboot.

To check I installed Lineage 17 … this one worked without any hassle.
Any ideas for me?

Thank you very much

Installing LOS17 was no good idea because a downgrade could be a pain.

Reboot to fastboot is most comming from wrong firmware and/or not formated data before flashing eOS.

For my side of view you can try 2 things:

1. Installing Lineage16
   1a.FORMAT data (not only wipe)
   1b. start new with eOS
   or
2. Installing stock stock rom MIUI in same version as eOS is
   2a. FORMAT data (not only wipe)
   2b. start new with eOS

How can this be fixed now?

After the format I delete Dalvik, Cache and data … something missing?

I tried again with Lineage 17 … works without problems.
How do I manage now to get e on the phone ? … is there a way?

it’s what I have written. You try to downgrade and that isn’t working.
You have to go back to stock rom or you can try installing eOS GSI

[HOWTO] install eOS GSI on a Treble device - new GSI added June 14th

Using the example of a MiMax3 mobile phone I want to explain the installation of a GSI. It is important to choose the right version. The Mi Max3 needs an arm64 a-only version. Which version has to be used can be found out with the app treble checker. This guide does not have to work with every mobile phone. Therefore I do not guarantee that it works and does not break. As always: You should have a Stock Rom and be prepared for a complete reinstallation. Let’s go: Download these files and sa…

I tried yesterday but the point
“fastboot oem ignore_anti”

did not work at all … is that because of the ADB version?

Sorry for the asking but I’m new to this …

Thank you

I think that’s the (worst) anti roll back function in some Xiaomi devices.

What have you tried ? As far as I remember, terminal will show you a command how to rest it.
