Hi,
I can't get out of the bootloop of my Honor 7. Here below the history:
1) Unlock bootloader: Success
2) Install TWRP: Success
3) Install SuperSU 2.65: Fail
From this point i tried to recover from a new original rom with Multi-tool, but still bootloop. I also wipe all caches but still same issues. I don't know what to do as i have the feeling i tried everything already.
If someones could help me it would be nice. I still have access to bootloader (volume - & power) and I sometimes get access to TWRP but screen freezes, i can't go into any of the settings.
Thanks for your support!
Download full rom 121 if you are in LP or 320/330 if you are in MM.
Put the rom .app file into dload folder in the SDcard
Flash stock recovery,flash the rigth rom with vol+,+,vol-,+,pwr, the flashing will start automatly.
Upgrade to 180 or 330.

That won't work sadly, PLK-L01 is totally different than PLK-TL01H in terms of software.
The updates is also named differently compared to the European version, in the EU (and elsewere?) it's 180, 320, 330 etc. but on the PLK-TL01H it's 6.3.16, 6.4.1 etc.
Hi,
indeed Flamenaver the link you post is for PLK-L01 only.
Can i use one of these firmware instead which are original ones for PLK-TL01H?
http://emui.huawei.com/cn/plugin.php?id=hwdownload&mod=detail&mid=170
How does this VOL UP + VOL DOWN + Power works exactly? Do I need the press the 3 together until i see the upgrade starting or do I relesea as soon as I see HONOR Welcome Screen ?
Because it is not working if i keep the 3 pressed until something happens, because then it is restarting and restarting for ever.
On the other side, just pressing 3 for 10 seconds and couple of seconds after it powers on doesn't work neither.
Thanks for the support.

Try to install LP or MM full rom (no ota o zip roms),from stock recovery, with the standard process for your phone, is a universal unbrick procedure for soft_bricked phones.
I can't get access to stock recovery. I can reinstall Stock recovery from Honor Multi Tools but i can't get in it.
If i keep vol+ & Power or Vol+, Vol- & Power pressed i get onl the honor welcome screen bootloop, nothing else
Hi, I got into this mode in the end. Is this the Force update mode?

If it's stuck at 90% it's not working, believe me, I've had the same problem, I tried to update SuperSU and it bricked. Had to factory reset it and update the phone to the newest version which currently is 6.4.1, THEN go through the process of installing TWRP, SuperSU etc.
If you can't get the updates via the "Updater" option in the options, try to manually downgrade/upgrade it and see if it appears. You have to do some fancy google-translate to chinese to find the update packages on chinese forums.
Why U don't try the Honor 7 Multitool and the huawei update extractor combo???
That must be work!
Hi,
this is the latest status: https://youtu.be/QsPOg4lKkSc
I'm already using Multi-Tools and extracted a PLK-TL01H stock rom. I then used the unbrick option in multi-tools and restores this stock rom. But even though it starts fine, i can enter my pin code but when the language screens comes in, it makes a weird noise and reboots.
I then went into TWRP which works fine and could wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache. But I'm still stuck with welcome crash.
Any idea what to do? As reminder:
1) Bootloader is unlocked
2) Bootloader screen works fine (fastboot works but adb doesn't)
3) TWRP screen also works fine.
Thank you!
Did you try with an older or an other stock rom?
Yes I tried these two versions;
PLK-TL01H-C01B201
PLK-UL-TL-CL_EMUI3.1_Android5.1_5.12.1
Actually this version: PLK-TL01H-C01B201 works fine but only without sim card and SD card. If one of these is inside then i get automated reboot after entering pin code. But if i reboot without these two, then the phone works fine (i can get access to wifi, menu, and so on...).
WEIRD!
Hi,
My Honor 7 is still bricked and i can't get out of it. I tried to unbrick by flashing the following files from a stock rom:
fastboot flash boot .\Unbrick\BOOT.img
fastboot flash cust .\Unbrick\CUST.img
fastboot flash recovery .\Unbrick\RECOVERY.img
fastboot flash system .\Unbrick\SYSTEM.img
The flash of these 4 files works fine. I then get the welcome screen where i can choose the language, HiCloud settings and so on. As long as i do not get out of the flight mode it seems to be stable. But when i enter the pin code of my simcard (amongst others), then i get a crash and reboot.
So i have the feeling that there are still some conflicts. In the stock rom there are many other IMG files. Shouldn't I also flash them? I have the following IMG files: 3RDMODEM, CACHE, CRC, CURVER, DTIMAGE, EFI, FASTBOOT, MODEM, etc etc.
I have the feeling that if i flash them all, then it might work fine. But all files do not have a specific partition, so i don't know how to flash them.
Thanks for the support!

The main problem that you were on MM version (6.3.16-DEV edition of ROM, no official update) of ROM and you're trying to flash Lollipop (B201, 5.12.1). It means that your problems are probably caused by this. Try to flash 5.12.16 then OTA update to 6.1.1 (using WiFi if possible) and then rollback from Emui 4 to Emui 3.1 if you want use Emui 3.1 and Lollipop. it's up to you. It's possible that your will be able to use SIM card when you would update to 6.1.1 (MM)
Sent from PLK-TL01H
SOLVED!
Thank you Lucki_X and Inside!Out ! Indeed i was trying to flash with Android 5.0 while i was already on Android 6.
Consequently I used the unbrick option from Multi-tools by using this version PLK-TL01H_EMUI4.0_Android6.0_6.2.1(B634).zip
Now everything works fine. Can anyone tell me how to install SuperSU? Because it is due to installation of SuperSU through TWRP that it caused the crash. I installed SuperSU 2.65 BETA.
How to do and which version to install to avoid bootloop?
Thanks very much,
Sebastien.
Hi All,
any idea why i now only have 3,87GB available as internal storage?

Probably because you have multiple ghost systems as a result of previous still in memory. Factory reset will help.
Thank you! This is also solved now (Factory reset in TWRP + Calvik & Cache Wipes)!
Last question: Any advice on how to install SuperSU? Because by trying to install 2.65 BETA it caused the bootloop earlier.
Is there any version to propose instead of another one?
Thanks,
To answer my question: There is only the v2.62 that is working with Honor7 ! I Tried 2.49 and 2.65 both creates startup bootloop. Hopefully this time i got a full backup made in TWRP, was pretty easy to comeback to a working version.
i have a similiar brick as you. Flashed from B201 to B352 via the OTA. Had a boodloop, tried to erase cache and factory reset.
Tried to unbrick my phone with multi tool (first with the B201 udpate.app - now with B634 update.app). Now i'm in a bootloop again. What can I do?
EDIT: I'm in the ROM now, but can't enable my SIM card and WIFI is also not working
What can i do?

This is my first post here, so please excuse me for my english, i'm from chile (spanish).
I'm gonna do a little tutorial to Install TWRP and root on Leeco X820....just received yesterday.
First we gonna need the official ROM 14S from here:
http://g3.letv.cn/188/43/59/letv-hd...3S-5.6.014S.zip?b=123456&platid=5&splatid=500
And the Pack that i prepared here:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/105732967/twrp+root.rar
Now:
Step 1: Unzip the file twrp+root.rar and Put the file BETA-SuperSU-v2.72-20160510112018.zip on the internal memory,
put LE_X2_X820-CN-FN-FEXCNFN5601405103S-5.6.014S.zip file on the internal memory too (this 2 files)
Step 2: Power off the phone
step 3: Enter to Fastboot mode (turn on pressing volume down)(http://www.netded.com/uploads/allimg/160514/1_160514151201_1.png)
Step 4: on the folder that you created to unzip (example C:/twrp+root) press and hold SHIFT then right mouse click and go to "open command line window here" (or something like that in english)
step5: Connect your phone and wait to install the drivers
step6: on the command line write: "fastboot oem unlock"
step7: If that's ok then write: "fastboot flash recovery Le_X820_TWRP.img"
step8: If that's ok now you have the recovery twrp (chinese) installed (if this not work 1st time, do it again)
setp9: Reboot your phone on recovery mode (holding power button + volume up) (from fastboot, you don't reboot in normal mode)
step10: you gonna see the recovery in chinese, but don't worry, this recovery is the same that always and the options are on the same order: http://www.teamsuperluminal.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/twrp3_4.png
step11: go to install and flash the 14S rom (if you want), and if you want to keep your rom (probably 13S) just flash the SuperSU beta file.
If you want to Install a clean rom 14S with google play support (recomended), you have to wipe, then Flash the ROM 14s, and then flash this GAPPS (working fine) http://opengapps.org/ (just choose download ARM64+Android 6.0+ Pico version) and then flash the SuperSU beta file provided.

If you want to change the Language (in my case spanish), you can always use Morelocale (from playstore) with Root privileges
Greetings from Chile!!!!!
This is great but I have a problem . I did fastboot and it said "sending TWRP" okay and "writing Twrp okay"and all well to step 9. It boots to the recovery(LeEco recovery) that came on the phone. Can I bypass that ?

Very much appreciated, Thanks
I did it again and got Twrp working. I did the wipes and flashed the Rom smoothly. I also flashed the gapps file but it said it was incompatible I then booted to system, shut down and tried and failed to get TWRP so I did whole fastboot twice again and booted TWRP and flashed the file that was “incompatible” with no errors. But I get a number(5-7)”incompatible ‘/cust’ ??? (invalid argument)” with all TWRP operations .
Before leaving I went to 3rd block on rt of TWRP home screen and then to world globe on rt and changed language to English and TWRP is now in English. I then went to bootloader and deleted/inactivated the stock LeEco recovery and can now boot to TWRP normally(power+volme up).
However although I do have the Google Play store app. I keep getting message to say google services has stopped. When I try to add a google account on settings or click on play store app it spends a long time “checking info” and after 1 hour its still checking info.Does anyone have a solution ?

How do you delete apps ? In settings .app management I can disable or force stop but not uninstall. When I press and hold there no uninstall to drag to. When disabled they dissapear but come back when I do factory reset or wipe cache dalvic an data....weird. i have repeated everything a few times but nothing changes .
I havent put a sim card in yet
I have not setup a LeEco acount yet either,.....necessary ?
Even tho I have picked English I still get a lot of status messages in Chinese .

I can do a backup of my system and upload it...if you want it you tell me...only if you know how restore a backup from twrp (you have to generate the code yo name the folder in backup)
Well I think I am at end of road anyhow.
I use TWRP to backup and restore my own phone (not le max 2) but maybe its best if you tell me steps
Please let me use your backup as my le max 2 is a brick at moment
Install google play store (x820)
1) - INSTALL GOOGLE PLAY STORE(X820) htt*://impressivedroid.com/guide-install-google-play-store-on-le-2-x620/
2) - open play market and input login and password
3) - go to TWRP and install GAPPS ARM64+Android 6.0+ Pico version
Work it fine, no errors.
Received mine today from Honorbuy. If I flash twrp, where can I get original Recovery to go back to Stock?
What Color has your device? Mine is Gold but looks like Rose..
If you dont change bootloader in TWRP it will always go back to stock. Why would you want to go back to stock?. I thought it is only useful for offline updates ?

If I would sell the Phone I set it back to stock.
Installed TWRP and SuperSU 2.72 Beta. Worked in first attempt. No update to 14s, because of Problems with Playstore. Will wait if its fixed
All working Great, Backups from Oneplus Two (Titanium Backup) restored, without problems
i have updated to 14s and playstore (open gapps pico) installed without problems
Can you change language to German in 14s?
Sent from my ONE A2003 using XDA Free mobile app
So, the OTA update released yesterday will kill your root and remove TWRP. I attempted to reflash TWRP in fastboot mode, but it does not work anymore. The result is that it starts LeEco recovery and then right half of the screen is just random color pattern. Anyone knows if there is an updated TWRP version?
Well, ok, I found it on Chinese forums, here it is:
app.box.com/s/w66pg1h8wo3fj1lrtlcdw2fs3hk1w40a
The ZIP contains all the necessary tools and SuperSU as well. Flash TWRP through fastboot as described in the first post, then SuperSU through TWRP. My TWRP and root are back, all good!

Hi, my friend, and thanks for your help.
In new LeEco update of 14s, 237s, when I install Open Gapps there is a google play services error.
Dou you install in this new update and works properly?
I think that play services error was also in previous 14S (103s version). @mjoach has the solution in other thread. I have the 237s running and no problem with Play Store.

Hi guys
I have some trouble with my KIW-L21, I am sorry that I can't say for sure how I ended up in this situation since it is long time ago and i can't really remember... and i just now devided to see if I could fix this phone or not since it has just been lying around.
Phone is unlocked and I had rooted ROM and TWRP installed on it.
Searched forum for many fixes without good result.
Diagnosis:
When I boot phone it is just standing with the Honor boot screen until battery runs out.
I can access bootloader
The only recovery I can access seems to be some sort of "huawei E-recovery"
Fixes tried.
I have tried the follow fixes without any good result.
*Flashing TWRP and recover from a downloaded backup
For some strange reason, even though fastboot says successfull flash when i flash TWRP, I keep coming back to this Huawei recovery. hence i can't recovery from downloaded backup (or install any ROM for that matter)
*UPDATE.APP in dload folder on SDcard
When I try this option it seems to start the update/installation, but after a second or so some text flash on the screen (too fast to read) and i get message that the update failed.
*Recover via HIsuite
I enter bootloader/fastboot mode and HIsuits system recovery function. But as soon as i press RECOVER i get an error message.
*Reset via Huawei e-recovery
When I enter this Huawei recovery i get the option to install and recovery via wifi, but just as the other functions it says that the process failed and i am back to square one.
*Install "stuff" via fastboot
Saw this guide for flashing the UPDATE..APP via fastboot, but it says "Command not allowed" when flashing CUST.img
Don't know if I am stupid and missing the obvious solution here? But I have tried basically every guide on this forum without success. So any help possible would be greatly appreciated.
I am well aware that some of these functions requires the Huawei recovery and not TWRP, so I have flashed this recovery also. But since adb/fastboot says "SUCESS" when i flash TWRP but it still doesn't show up I have no clue if the Huawei recovery I am flashing is really flashed or not.

Try fastboot boot recovery.img
While twrp=recovery.img
If you use the newer versions of Twrp you can
Install/image and choose cust,system,data,tz ...etc

Sweet!
Thanks for pointing out something so obvious
I can now access TWRP atleast.
Will try to see what I can do now. This atleast opens a whole new world of options! :good:
You are in the same position as i was. Download that file extract it and put the update.app file on your SDcard in a folder named dload. Boot your device with (volume down + power) until the process starts. You will return to stock B140 from there you can do what ever you want. Only works if you are from West Europe.

yeah, KIW-L21 is not the full model number, it could be KIW-L21C432, KIW-L21C185, and maybe other as well, so be careful, and always mention your full model number.

Disclaimer
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed.
Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this recovery before flashing it!
YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

- built in full 64 mode
- fully compatible with Android 8.*/9.0/10.0
Downloads:
https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxynote8.html
Instructions:
Odin
Download latest Odin zip from downloads.corsicanu.ro/samsung
Download and install Samsung Drivers (if you have them installed you can skip this step)
Go to settings/Developer options and enable OEM unlock (If you don't see developer settings, go into Settings/About phone/Software info and tap "Build number" 10 times to show Developer options menu)
Download TWRP_*.tar
Switch off the phone
Use Bixby Key+Volume Down+Power to enter Download Mode and connect the device to usb
Open Odin and untick autoreboot in "options" tab. Also make sure that your device is detected
Put TWRP_*.tar.md5 file into AP tab
Click Start
When Odin shows "PASS", take your device in hands, disconnect the usb cable and press simultaneously the "Bixby key" + "Vol. Down" + "Power" buttons until the downoad mode disappears
At the precise moment the screen becomes black, immediately release the "Vol.Down" button and press the "Bixby key" + "Vol. UP" + "Power" buttons during 10 to 15sec to forcefully enter TWRP
If it didn`t worked, redo the steps from #1 more careful this time.
TWRP
Download TWRP_*.img, push it into phone storage, choose install image in your current recovery, navigate to downloaded *.img file, select it, select to flash as recovery.
After booting in TWRP download and flash no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.1 zip to disable data partition encryption
If for any reason you fail to install TWRP multiple times/different methods, make sure you check this thread

FAQ / Further reading
Q: TWRP can't mount data partition, what to do?
A: Make sure you formatted data partition.
Q: Phone is not booting even after 20 minutes
A: Try to reboot. If still not booting, make sure you formatted data partition.
Q: How to format data partition?
A:
Q: Phone is showing only Samsung logo
A: Try to reboot. If still not booting, consider installing an older TWRP build or a more recent firmware.
Q: I get "Failed to mount /preload message", what to do?
A: From wipe menu select Advanced Wipe, select preload partition to be wiped and reboot recovery.
Q: Why do i need to format data partition?
A: Because old rom encrypted your data partition and new rom can't decrypt and use that content / root needs access to data partition to place misc files / phone not booting after flashing root until data partition gets formatted.

datafix is for oreo issues where twrp could not properly access internal storage.
format is if you come from stock rom and still have encrypted storage.
Very nice start of the Note 8 Exy journey Bro ?
It is a big pleasure to see U around N8 development!
I am really excited now for the nearest few months and Your 'crazy' ideas which always bring some goodies ?
Thx for Ur efforts and good luck! ?
Works great thank you.

After flashing .img (was on 3.2.1.1) I get "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing", only when booting into recovery.
Seems to work fine otherwise.
N950N
Repulsa's ROM.
Is this normal behavior?

im on the same phone and no such issue with new twrp i was on a newer twrp than yours and had formatted and flash dm verty zip initially from stock oreo. dirty flash your rom again just to see. if still no go then follow OP to the T to reflash it correctly.
did you ever flash oreo bootloader? because from what i understand, looks like you were on nougat before and flashed a oreo rom without upgrading fully to stock oreo before hand.

1. I went from stock rom to Repulsa, using SuperSU. No issues.
2. Nougat to Oreo. Could be the issue. I did not update the BL. Don't know if the ROM did. I will check.
Do you happen to have a link to the correct BL?
Thanks for the tips!

i could extract it but u can basically get it from unziping stock.(see link below)
since we are on the n950n, I'm almost sure repulsa rom didnt update it because mostly all roms that might include the BL will have mainly the F/DS bootloader, most dont even update it though.
latest BL would be U3. might be a good idea to update cp(modem) while you are at it too, so grab latest stock firmware and extract both from:
https://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-N950N/
if download is slow, i can provide these 2 files in a few minutes because package is so big just to get them smaller files.
so only put bl and cp in odin and at least you will be on the latest stuff. dont know what is taking so long for BL U4 to arrive for our korean n950ns....
edit
latest bl and cp for N950N only:
https://1drv.ms/f/s!AhXVLDDj8g3AgdYhY8DslnHgCVMMEw
i also put samfirm downloader for future reference, its a fast way to get latest firmware. those hosting websites are so slow sometimes... updato.com is a fast one but firmwares arent always up to date though

All's well after new CP and BL. no more "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing".
Thanks again.
Good job mate :good:

Fastboot flash boot.img
It's only magisk for 10.2.24
You can create your own if you want, it's just 30s faster
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Thank you so much for posting this. I'd been trying for 2 days with twrp and magisk (19.1 and 19.2) and could never get past the recovery bootloop on my Mi 9.
Are you on global stable?
I am having boot loop too.
So far I haven't seen any root for 10.2.9.0
Does anyone have boot.img V10.2.9.0.PFAMIXM? I wanna try root, but only need that file

I don't get it, what are you trying to achieve? Keep encryption and have root access?
Right now i'm on 10.2.9.0 running perfectly fine with root (magisk 19.1) but no encryption.

Hi, could you tell me how you root your phone? I installed magisk manager, chose boot.img then got magisk_patched.img. I flashed it via fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img but I got stuck at stock recovery after rebooting. Did I miss any step?

What i did was:
-Flash Stock Global ROM with Xiaomi Flash making sure to set the bat as clean all and NOT clean and lock!
-Once done it will automatically boot , and when it does simply reboot and hold down vol to go to the fastboot
-Flash Recovery img using minimal adb and fastboot
-Type "Fastboot reboot" and hold vol up to go to twrp
-In TWRP FORMAT data to get ride off encryption and reboot into recovery
-Again in TWRP now u can transfer files to the phone, so i patched "Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt" and then patched Magisk 19.1
-That's it.
You can now reboot and it will start the phone configuration as normal but once you configure everything u will see that magisk is there and fully works.
Just one thing tho.... be careful if u will restore titanium back up apps...
Don't get me wrong; they do restore correctly but when you make a backup it becomes corrupted or at least that's what happened to me, so make sure to keep backups PRIOR to using the ROM saved in your PC or something.
EDIT: Maybe u should give a try to this twrp https://forum.xda-developers.com/Mi-9/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-xiaomi-mi-9-t3905825, just got updated few hrs ago and so far seems it works really good.

Factort reset? You mean wipe data while stuck at stock recovery? I did. Somehow my phone rooted. But I realized when I charge my phone while turning off it shows mi logo & unlocked words instead of battery icon, even after I unplug the charger. So I have to press power button to turn it on and charge normally. Do you have this problem?

Because once I moved back to revolution OS ( I sawp of ROMs quite often ) I realized that my entire apps restored with titanium were crashing , and the few that actually open correctly didn't hold my data.
They were as if you just download them for the first time from the store.

No, i dont have this problem.
Root images updated to 19.2 magisk.
10.9.20 require wipe all data after flash patched image, this is not practical at all.
1. you stuck in this rom unless you want to wipe all data every time there is new rom.
2. Magisk bug existed in the latest global stable rom, notification prompted everytime you open Magisk to install zip, you can only ignore it or installation zip brick the phone.
10.2.26.0 root/stock
Can I use those with locked bootloader ?

From my experience, the recovery cannot decrypt the stock ROMs, you have to flash a custom ROM (Arrow and Lineage are the only 2 right now), or flash a xiaomi EU ROM.
Copy the rom to sdcard or usb otg.
Format data
Reboot recovery
Flash rom.
With xiaomi eu decryption works...
Decryption on stock rom works if I hotboot TWRP (fastboot boot twrp.img). If I flash it, TWRP doesn't prompt me for a password when started and keeps data encrypted.
Hi there, thank you for the TWRP. Is there any chance to decrypt also user 999 for the Dual apps on the .eu ROMs?
not for now. I will upload new version soon

twrp_gauguin_MI10TL-RN9P5G_MI10I_3.5.A10_18-02-2021_BL-L
Fixed backup userdata (error 255 for data/extm)
User 999 can be decrypted only with default password ( without pattern-pin-pass) for now.
Thank you, but my password is PIN, anyway the recent twrp can't decrypt user 999. It is the message in red: "Failed decrypt user 999"
Only without pin,pass,pattern can be decrypted user999
It's a pity. I intend to back up also user 999 to keep my dual banking apps with the access data. If I first remove the PIN, and backup user 999 with the TWRP, after restore I will have to set up access again. This kills the benefit of the decryption and makes backup of 999 useless.
Thank you anyway and I hope, NO PIN is the temporary requirement of this version.
Hello everybody! Last week I unlocked the bootloader of my gauguin and initially I tried the official TWRP Recovery released by TWRP official page but it didn't work correctly and I couldn't flash zips, so I tried this beta version released by geoanto555 and it worked smoothly, I flashed zips and I had root permissions... But last night the smartphone had the battery low and it turned off, when I connected it to the charger it automatically reboot in fastboot and I can only enter in recovery mode. Sorry but I'm new in the modding world and I don't know what to do.. First brick.. What I did wrong? Anybody can help me? Is there anything I can do or I have to buy a new phone? Thanks to who will answer . Good evening.

If you have access to the recovery, or fastboot, you can flash the original firmware with fastboot, but watch out, for some reason, when i flash the original rom from Windows using fastboot, it crashes, but with Linux it just works

In my device the rom is still the original. Do I have to do it anyway? What can happen if I try to flash a custom rom? If I only do the factory reset will I lose also TWRP?

If you can boot to android, or boot to TWRP / Orangefox, you don't need to flash again miui stock
If you flash a second rom, the worst thing that can happen, is that the rom may not work, but you wipe the internal memory (dalvik cache and data) and it should be running again
If you loose twrp for some reason, you can flash it again with xiaomitoolv2, or with fastboot
I'd recommend to you to try rooting, installing roms and similars things in an old phone if you don't are confident / know what are you doing, you will learn a lot in a few days of tinkering.

Hi,
Download the official stock rom
Dont use XiaoMiToolV2, instead use MiFlash (official tool). Works for me every time. Then connect your phone in fastboot and flash all, I use the clean all and lock option which relocks my bootloader but you could just clean all and leave the bootloader unlocked. Then you can start again

Hi, thanks for your advice.
Do you think it can works if usb debugging is off? I'm afraid I've disabled it the night the phone bricked.
I did wrong too many things but was my first try, tomorrow I'll buy a new Mi 10t lite and I'll try again, using more precautions.
Thank you all anyway, good evening.

Enabled debugging is needed for adb when the system is running. For fastboot it does not matter.
