Thanks for the answer but this is my problem.

Just want to share my experience...


I tried this but modified script to get my own partition size:

840mb system
3mb system1
430 cache
8gb userdata

everything worked great! but I forgot to reboot into recovery before flashing anything... so I got stuck at MI logo.

I solved this problem by using fastboot command:

fastboot boot recovery.img


where recovery.img was on the same folder as fastboot.exe on my pc and was pulled out from cwm-recovery.zip


I post it because I was trying to find the solution without testpoint + Miflash as suggested m1cha and looking into fastboot commands there was the solution.


Hope it can help anybody with same problem.

Tried using the script, but I got the following errors:

I can't boot into my phone now, CWM gives error messages pretty much all the time now. Does anyone know what to do? Would hate to have to use my phone as a paperweight now

My PC runs Windows 8 x64 and the phone is a Xiaomi Mi2 (16GB).

Try using fastboot to flash recovery again and boot into it. Then follow this guide to do it manually.

Goooooood your phone is gone...
Do this:
1- Miflash
Boot into cwm (latest)
From adb run : reboot dload
It will reboot into a black screen
Install and open up miflash
Run it (if asked phone is already in download mode)
Miflash will rewrite partitions table and all partitions

2-Fastboot packages (not sure it will fix it)
Boot into bootloader
Use any fastboot package that you can find in this forum to recover your phone.

Got an error using MiFlash, a file was missing. Can't boot at all right now.

Will try the fastboot tomorrow.

Msiflash is the most recommend way. Make sure you download all files

MiFlash did the trick. I followed this guide for others with this problem.

I'll flash CWM again and extend the storage partition manually then.

Edit: Manual method worked. Thanks everyone, you're the best

got the same problem...how to mount sdcard?

All you need to do is open build in file manager,just like when browse for zip you want to install,think outside box.

So un-tick some permissions (which?) of /sdcard?

OMG,just open build in file manager (inside recovery) and execute script.

If you want I can provide you modified script,with modified values even if you want but please try what I told you first.

 

[Amfibia]

XperianPRO, everything is easy when you know what you are looking for.
I had the SD moutning issue when I manually modified the partition tables issue as well in the past so this one triggered my attention. ( running unmodified now as the script didnt work for me )

inside recovery ( CWM) I do not see a file manager or leave alone build.
so probably I am looking at the wrong spot and maybe Gonewild as well.

just go to recovery-->open system1-->open install zip-->open choose zip from /storage/sdcard (this mount)-->use micha instructions

it wasn't easy but i'm smart, admit it xperian!

It is file manager build in that allows you to flash ROMs,gapps ... But this time you just open it and not install anything.

Navigate to file manager (it will moint sdcard read/write),connect phone to PC and then execute script.

Yes you figured out what I wanted to say,but hey Im just 14.
