stuck at boot - but why - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

hi there,
i have got a redmi note 3 pro that keeps stuck in bootloop.
Tried:
- boot to fastboot
- fired up miflash
- rebooted phone to edl
-miflash recognized phone
- flashed "kenzo" fastboot rom (tried global stable + kenzo_global_images_V7.1.8.0.LHOMICL_20160129.0000.14_5.1_global + chinese stable)
phone remains stuck in bootloop after restart.
Is there something I am missing? Please help me out.
(I guess bootloader is locked, not my phone)

when in fastboot mode, check the state of your device (make sure you have fastboot installed):
-connect device to pc
-open cmd
-type "fastboot oem device-info"
once you know the bootloader is unlocked, open miflash tool and flash the stock ROM. I don't see you need to go to EDL mode. Miflash is for fastboot mode!
how did you not knowing the condition of your bootloader? you should know it in the first place before you do such things.
oh, and make sure the directory of your rom image doesn't have spaces in it (example: C:/Users/Ivan Kurnia/...) (be safe, move it to like C:/Desktop) otherwise it will only take 1 second to flash the rom (which flashing didn't happen)

Thank you for your ideas, I still dont know if bootloader is locked or not, because it is not my phone, I was just asked to help.
However I managed to flash TWRP, now everything is good.

Your phone is in fastboot mode, not download mode. Small, but distinct difference.
Since you've installed a custom ROM, your bootloader should be unlocked. However, it may be a good idea to issue the oem unlock command through fastboot anyways. Use "adb reboot bootloader" and "fastboot oem unlock" to ensure that your bootloader is unlocked.
Now, since your phone is in fastboot mode, you can do one of two things: 1. Flash a custom recovery and restore your device to stock, or 2. Flash a custom recovery and continue using a custom ROM. Either way, you will need to install TWRP or another custom recovery image of your choice. The TWRP thread is located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-t3239740 Since you're already in the bootloader/fastboot mode, all you would need to do is download TWRP and use "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" and then "fastboot boot twrp.img" to install TWRP. Please note that the 'twrp.img' will vary depending on which version you download, it will probably look more like 'twrp-2.8.7.1-h901.img'. You can just rename the file or use the full file name in the fastboot commands.
Once in TWRP, you can flash whatever ROM you want. To restore your phone to stock, go to this thread and flash the .zip in TWRP http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo.../lg-h901-stock-images-device-restore-t3241170 after doing the standard wipe procedure. :good:

I'm kinda in the same boat now except that I already received the replacement device. Need to re-lock the old V10, but adb won't recognize my device at all. Any more option when that's the case? I can get into both download mode and fastboot. Phone is recognized by LGUP in download mode, but not by adb in fastboot mode for some reason.
(I've verified connection and driver using the other V10, the other V10 is recognized just fine)

Yep. Your phone boots and everything, correct? Just factory reset it (Settings > Backup & Restore > Factory data reset). After its been reset, unlock it, turn on Developers Options, and enable USB debugging. After usb debugging is turned on, connect the v10 to your PC and be sure to hit "Always allow" when prompted by your phone. ADB should now be able to see your device.
If you can't get it to boot up, try restoring through LG UP/Bridge. I don't use any of LG's software, so I'm not sure what those apps can do and whether or not you'll be able to restore through them.
If nothing else, your phone is recognized in fastboot mode, so you can always manually flash the stock system images as well. You want to use the "fastboot flash boot boot.img", "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", and "fastboot flash system system.img" commands After downloading the stock system images located in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/development/lg-h901-stock-img-files-boot-recovery-t3238638
If you haven't ever flashed system images from fastboot, please read this first, as I am not responsible if your phone turns into a paperweight! https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#instructions While the instructions are for nexus devices, it works pretty much the same, except you'd want to use the individual commands instead of a flash-all script.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the follow up! No the phone would not boot at all and kept stuck at boot loop. I ended up just doing the OEM Lock and call it a day, the old device just won't boot to anything at this point.
I tried fastboot flash recovery recovery.img but it's giving some kinda kernel panic message and I was never able to get into recovery. This reminds me of the time when my Note 3 eMMC was fried, it wouldn't give a device ID to adb.
I think I am in the same boat too. I've been OEM unlocked yet recently my phone won't keep the TWRP recovery and keeps putting me into bootloop. I can't install a ROM and only thing I can do is fastboot mode. What did you do OEM lock the device? I am hoping that solution will get rid of that message bootloader unlocked during the bootloop and then I can try and get it serviced.

Unable to enter Recovery Mode even though officially unlocked

Hi,
I have unlocked my bootloader officially through the unlock tool and wanted to flash a custom recovery and also root my device (Redmi Note 3 - Snapdragon).
I was on Global Dev (6.5.19) before I even started to unlock my bootloader.
After unlock, I was succesffuly able to flash Cofface TWRP recovery through fastboot (well the command prompt didn't throw up any errors and had a success message).
However, when i reboot into recovery (either through button combination or "adb reboot recovery", I just get a screen that shows an image of a phone and USB cable" (similar to the image on the official bootloader unlock tool.
I checked whether the bootloader was unlocked (fastboot oem device-info) and it was indeed unlocked.
I have factory reset and reflashed 6.5.19 (Global dev rom) with MiFlash and this hasn't made any difference.
I also relocked the bootloader with MiFlash Beta and then unlocked successfully with the official unlock tool.
All of these steps still haven't made a difference.
Can someone please advise on the next step to do (as unlocked bootloader is pretty useless if I can't install a custom recovery).
P.S. I also get the same phone and usb cable image when booting into stock recovery
find it weird problem
if you dont,then first just boot the recovery
code:- fastboot boot xxxrecovery.img where xxxrecovery replace your own recovery img name in fastboot folder.
you must success and see twrp recovery
then again transfer img to sdcard and to flash from recovery.
then flash it from recovery and when you reboot ,just swipe to diseable rom to replace it with stock one.
find it really weird ,i did it hundredths of time in my offi unlocked and every time goes fine flashing recovery from fastboot
Hit thanks if i helped
please follow this... it does help for me.

[HELP][CRITICAL] stuck with no recovery, no root and locked bootloader on Sultan CM13

Hello Guys,
I was trying to install OxygenOS 3.1.0 when I was on Sultanxda's CM13 but instead bricked the device.
What I did:-
1. Rebooted to TWRP and flashed stock OOS recovery and then clicked reboot into recovery.
2. Instead of rebooting in recovery my phone got stuck at the OnePlus logo.
3. I booted into fastboot to flash twrp.img but it says 'writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: device is locked. Cannot erase)'
4. I repeated the same with stock recovery but no success and was not even able to boot to CM13 now.
Hence I was stuck on the OnePlus logo without any booting ROM or recovery and a locked bootloader (according to fastboot)
What I have already tried but failed:-
1. Tried to root with kingroot etc. (Before bricking)
2. Tried to unlock bootloader but failed because it has no recovery.
3. Tried to flash stock OOS 2.1.3-x
4. For now I used fastboot continue to boot back into CM13
Please help, I'm now stuck with cm13 without root and without any recovery installed.
P.S. I'm not even sure that if I clicked reboot then the phone will boot.
Thanks.
Okay, calm down.
Go to developer options and see if "OEM Unlocking" is enabled. If not, enable it.
Cool. Now enable USB Debugging, connect the phone to PC, open CMD and type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
then
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Download TWRP from the official website, rename it to recovery.img and then
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Now you have a recovery and an unlocked bootloader. Profit?
I hope this helps.

You don't need recovery to unlock bootloader, you need fastboot.

extract the official recovery from the global fastboot rom and flash through cmd to recover the boot, then wipe from the recovery and you will return to miui 12.1.1
what i'm trying to figure out is if i can go back to the previous version of android without risking to crash the device.
I ran the fastboot getvar anti command and the result was Anti: 2 but I am not quite clear what that means.
I am a new user at Xiaomi.

My problem is mentioned above
Bro i think you can access your files from computer in recovery so make a backup and flash official firmware using miflash tool. I don't think there's any other way.

Before installing custom recovery and installing custom rom, it is recommended to backup.
You installed the recovery well, but in order to install custom ROMs you have to format and restart the recovery, then pass the ROM you want to flash and reboot system.

Good evening ..
For all those interested in downloading the official ROM version of the Xiaomi mi note 10 Lite, I have news for you, at least for those who want and have not tried.
I tried the method of saving the MiFlash folder on Disk C, in the same way I did with the global ROM of miui 11.0.8 fastboot, to the latter I changed the name of the folder to a shorter one (example Miui11.0.8), then boot in fastboot mode and run my flash running the ROM (Miui11.0.8) and the result obtained is that, I'm back on Android 10 with miui 11.0.8.
I share this information to give security to all those who had doubts about this and did not dare to try.
This data I extracted from various forums and pointed to it to give credit to all those who previously published it.
Remember that the bootloader must be unlocked.
Regards.
Hi everybody
I've got a problem...
Downloaded latest OTA update from "xiaomi.eu", agreed to install, the phone then rebooted in to fastboot mode and does nothing else.
Rebooted the phone with adb command "fastboot continue" and this went well...it rebooted the system.
Now every time i restart the phone it reboots in to fastboot mode and i have to "fastboot continue" again.
I am also not able to enter recovery because the phone always enters fastboot mode.
Reinstalled recovery (Twrp-3.4.2B_toco_by.alex.msk1407.img) via ADB succesfully, but when i "fastboot reboot recovery" it reboots back into fastboot.
I'm also not able to boot into EDL mode.
Any solution?
Thanks

Good Day. I have concern but after updating to Android 12. Currently my Mi Note 10 Lite is experiencing stuck in fastboot and mi logo. I already tried flashing using MIFlash 2020 but the error occur is "Erase is not allowed in Lock State".I also used MI PC Suite but it cant read my device (maybe because of lock state also). Even in MI-Unlock (batch_unlock application) it says its locked but when I sign-in it doesnt give permission to unlock (I used yahoo account).

Bootloader locked itself after a small unplug

Hi, so several months ago i installed MIUI 12 weekly to my Xiaomi Mi A3, and now I wanted to upgrade to the stable release. When i was flashing a boot image file, after restart, my twrp dissapear. I tried to flash the rom using Mi Flash on PC, but i touched the cable and the phone disconnected, locking the bootloader in the process. I have no OS, my bootloader is locked. Is my phone truly dead?
I also forgot to uninstall Magisk root from my phone, so it's my full mistake. adb doesn't recognize my phone. I can only turn on the phone, leave it on boot until the battery drains, or the fastboot. Is there any chances that I can save my phone?

well unlock it, you have 2 comands to put.
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
FAILED (remote: Token Verify Failed, Reboot the device) after i used the commands you told me.
What should I do next?
And Mi Unlock tool can't unlock the device, because I need to change some settings in Developer Options, and I have no rom.
did you try switching slots?
fastboot getvar current-slot
Getvar Variable not found
f###,
then only some recovery option with
mi tools.
Download mi a3 platform tool file then download fastboot and fastboot unlock critical file paste these both in platform tool folder then plug device through fastboot to pc then first click on fastboot unlock and then fastboot unlocking critical it will be unlocked then install the rom through mi flash
