R3 Pro (3GB/32GB, 2015817 version) came with some chinese/sellers custom ROM (and locked bootloader). It was heavy and bloated, so I decided to update it. Tried latest global stable (fastboot) ROM via miflash, flash was successful but that's was a lie - it stuck on mi logo...
Then I tried various other ROMs, global and developers, latest and older, some xiaomi.eu, manhit, etc. (for locked bootloader) and all I've got was either just a mi logo or mi logo with "powered by android" animation beneth. I left it for hours after flash and still nothing.
Then I found some ways to flash twrp, did that successfully, booted into it, wonder around in terminal and file manager, tried some recovery ROMs - but the result is the same - just logo or logo + animation.
I can get into fastboot (but it doesn't realy matters since bootloader is locked), download (EDL) mode, that Xiaomi menu (with Power and Vol+, with "shortcuts" to all the modes, hardware tests - btw. everything works there, etc.), twrp, charge battery (with some ROMs phone just gets warm and I know it's charging, there are no LED and/or animation, but in some everything works just like it should), but just can't boot into OS.
And I'm going nuts!
Here are some logs from the last ROM (i don't even know anymore which one is it) - pastebin.com/qaKVzxue and pastebin.com/dM3nEVj0
I'm not so experienced in looking at that but seems like every other thing in there, like cpu, i2c (touch/sensor), sound, battery, etc. is broken/faulty which is not true - everything was fine before update, and everything IS still fine according to inbuilt (xiaomi) hardware tests.
So somehow it seems that all the ido ROMs I tried are wrong for this device? Or am I missing something (quite possibly, I'm tired and pissed off)
Last night I did a backup of efs/nvram and then wiped internal memory/partitions, flashed latest global ROM, restored efs/nvram - phone stuck, but this time not on MI logo but freakin' penguin logo (like here en.miui.com/thread-377870-1-1.html). Same logo is for fastboot mode, no more bunny. Then flashed twrp and phone now shows mi logo with "powered by android" animation beneath, like before...
I don't know how this works with Xiaomi phones, but looks like it worked with some factory/seller special combination of ROM and bootloader. Then I did update and something stuck, maybe differences between ROM and bootloader, or some inside/hidden security mechanism that stops boot process? And because I can't find original firmware and/or bootloader is locked (maybe even updated?) it's now stuck...
Either that or some HW fault, but it would be insane that official ROM update with official tools and in factory download mode with full battery can cause such problem!
Can you go to twrp recovery?
Yes, like I said in the first post. I can do anything but boot android/MIUI. It's either because of locked bootloader or somehow official ROM installed officialy (via MiFlash in EDL mode) bricked phone, which is catastrophic bug i.e. epic design/implementation fail by Xiaomi.
Try this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-3/help/bootloop-bootloader-locked-options-t3331139
Sorry to intrude, I have pretty much the same problem.
Phone is stuck in bootloop and I can only access fastboot mode and EDL mode (but in EDL the phone does not connect to pc) and when I try to flash a stock ROM (since I know it is a software issue due to an unfortunate update) it says "locked device". So I tried to unlock it via MiUnlock... but phone cannot be verified 'cause "account not bound to this device" and obviously I cannot change any options since I cannot use my phone.
Please, help
it was happened to me about 3 days ago when i play around with the twrp & rooting thingy... tried everything from youtube to various forum solutions... just one link really works when you only have fastboot options and your phone bootloader is still unlocked. just follow the steps in the OP... key things here is downloading the tool to read your phone as mentioned in the OP i.e [TOOL]Minimal ADB and Fastboot [1-6-17]
1) Download Tool -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
2) Follow all the steps in the OP -> http://en.miui.com/thread-277276-1-1.html
3) Enjoy your phone from back from the dead.. LOL!
4) Remember here, the key is NEVER GIVE UP and PATIENT!
NOTE : The Device will start, wait till completion , it can take up to 10 Minutes. -> for me around 15-20 minutes for I have flashed the current beta rom of MIUI8 7.6.8
cheers, guys!
blx-
I had a similar situation.
Officially unlocked boot loader. Flashed TWRP using fastboot. Only got the mi logo and a boot loop on start up.
Could not turn on. Could not boot into TWRP.
When the phone was boot looping I could still get into fastboot mode by holding power+volume down.
I booted from fastboot mode into TWRP by opening the command prompts and using
"fastboot boot twrp2.img"
That got the phone available from windows explorer. I was able to move a new ROM image to the SD card and install from TWRP.
Currently running lineage 14.1 -20190112.
I lost a bunch of **** but my phone seems to turn on for the moment.
Note, I still cannot boot into TWRP using the phone only. I can only boot in from fast boot as above.

Handset: Xiaomi Redmi 3 Pro.
Steps done:
1. bought on aliexpress with some suspicious bloatware preloaded.
2. was unsure if bootloader is locked, so flashed modified bootloader and TWRP as per this guide: http://en.miui.com/thread-276565-1-1.html
3. flashed latest xiaomi.eu dev build: xiaomi.eu_multi_ido_6.5.26_v7-5.1
4. boot, reboot
5. flash SuperSU via TWRP: UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip
6. booted and used several days, few reboots. All working fine, except apps closing in background and bluetooth earpiece losing connection. Described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-3/help/redmi-3-pro-impressions-closing-t3397186
Where problems have started:
7. Decided to get stable xiaomi.eu release. Maybe forceclose and BT issues are resolved?
8. booted to TWRP and flashed STABLE release from xiaomi.eu: xiaomi.eu_multi_ido_V7.3.1.0.LHPCNDD_v7-5.1.zip
9. also flashed SuperSU without restart: UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip
10. After restart, I get boot loop.
It does very short boot attemps: when powered on, it vibrates and displays MI logo for a second, then reboots. Repeats it quickly 2 or 3 times and switches off.
Unable to go in to download mode, as volUp + Pwr will also give bootloop.
VolDn+Pwr will load fastboot after one reboot. MiFlash utility finds the phone, but throws an error on flash attempt (file not found or something).
If restarted with all VolDn+VolUp+Pwr buttons pressed, it will not turn on the screen at all, but appears on MiFlash utility and I am able to flash it. But still bootloops after that.
If I flash it with original bootloader, not the modified one as per guide (on step 2), I am able to boot in to china MIUI, and also in to bootloader menu. But of course TWRP does not work.
How do I do it with locked bootloader:
1. flash TWRP?
2. flash stable xiaomi.eu release?
3. get root?
Of course all of this is needed only until stable CM comes out.
Also, if bootloader is unlocked, is it displayed somehow? For example my old motorola would show a nasty warning during boot.
Short update. I have managed to install the latest xiaomi.eu ROM.
Unmodified bootloader is needed.
Flash TWRP via MiFlash separately, after MIUI is installed and booted.
Then flash SuperSU and you're good.
EDIT: I lost all my data since the phone was encrypted, but I recovered it flashing in fastboot mode
My Redmi 3 pro is stuck in a bootloader after trying to root it for the first time.
power off doesn't do anything.
power and volume up doesn't do anything
power and volume down shows a Fastboot logo with a cartoon, but I don't know what to do here and if it is useful.
After 1-2 minutes in fastboot logo it starts again in bootloop.
I've tried to press both volume up and down and power and keep it pressed for several bootloop cycles. It looks like the phone switched off, or at least the screen was black.
After restarting it again bootloop
I think soon the battery will drain and the phone switch off
I really don't know what to do
It was completely fine before that. It has been 3 weeks since I rooted the phone and it has been working perfectly. There was a pending update though (couldn't install it because it was leading to TWRP recovery mode at boot for some reason).
The battery was low, I connected the charger (not PC) and now the phone is not booting up. Just stuck on the logo. I can go into recovery mode and fastboot but that's it. I have no idea how to proceed.
8.2.4.0 (MHOMIDL)
Android version 6.0.1
I followed this guide to root my phone - r/Xiaomi/wiki/advanced/root (on reddit.com) (I can't link the link)
I would appreciate any help
Try to flash miui with my flash or something custom with twrp, if you need to backup data, you can do it with twrp.
its soft bricked....use mi flash tool to fladh fadtboot rom
I'm currently having issue with my phone, Redmi Note 3 Pro Kenzo(snapdragon 650) charged my phone overnight after completely drained it and the next morning i realized that it's on boot loop.
I tried dozens of method since the past 72 hours, none of them works. My phone run on stock miui 8 rom, didn't turn on the dev mode/debugging so basically just a pure stock out of the box phone with 0 tweaks.
It loops without the android logo below it. Just the MI logo in the middle of the screen and it reboot every 10-15 seconds or so.
I am able to run on fastboot mode (volume down+power on button) then i hook it up to my computer, used a patch to boot it on EDL mode and flash the stock fastboot rom using MiFlash and it states that i have successfully flash the rom on the phone. But when i turn it on, it loops on the MI logo again..
Tried dozens of method, flashed the emmc file and etc but none of them works.
Even mod on xiaomi forum gave up on me and ended up saying that i've roasted my logic board lol
But I read a thread on someone who had the same problem with mine but he have unlock his bootloader and get his phone back to life by flashing the twrp recovery.
When i try to hook up my phone with command prompt, running on fastboot mode it detects my phone when use the "fastboot devices" but when i use the "adb" command it stated that my computer didn't detect my device.
any thoughts?
rlly need some help here guys :/
HI,
I inherited this phone. ( D6503 )
Fixed a few hardware problems, now looking at software improvements.
I have unlocked the bootloader , but for the life of me I cannot get a recovery on this phone??
I have previoiusly done flashing on nokia, motorola and Nexus, but I am having no luck with this sony
I am able to connect using ADB, and can get to fastboot, but it stops there.
Issuing '' fastboot boot twrp.img'' ( to try and boot temporarily to twrp ) gives me a blank screen.
issuing ''fastboot flash recovery twrp.img'' does the same.
I cannot get a bootloader screen at all, even using the key combinations.
I cannot boot any recovery at all.
Is there someone here who can put me out of my misery
I am not looking to perform anything fancy, I just want to flash the latest lineage to see how it performs
Many Thanks in advance.
pootler.
Anybody???
I have rooted the z2 by dropping down to 5.11, installed the twrp app, then flashed recommended version of twrpl
Then when I power off the phone, and press the power and volume down buttons, instead of booting into twrp after 7 or so seconds, it just reboots after abour 2-3 seconds???
Can anybody help?-------please
I have even tried rooting , then installing twrp by either 1) fastboot or 2) twrp app.
I then installed NDR utils, to reboot to recovery - it still reboots to main system??
HEEELLPP !
I also tried flashing TWRP with 1) fastboot and 2)the twrp app,
I then installed NDR utils ( i have root ) , and it still wont boot into recovery, just straight into system???
HEELLPP!!

Hi Community,
I read some posts how to fix my Problem, but i cant go to a service Point.
So I was using the Evolution X for a long Time (Installed with TWRP 3.1.0).
And now i wanted to change to the Nusantara Project (Vanilla), I did a clean Flash, everything worked i could access the System.
Than i had problems installing Play Store, so i rebooted into Recovery via the System. But now im Stuck in the Loop.
Can i Somehow connect my Phone to the PC and Reset?
Can someone tell me if i Hard/soft bricked my phone ?
Just a little advice, would be really appreciated.
Thanks a lot
Go to TWRP, wipe system, cache, data and dalvik. Now flash nusantra and whichever GApps are recommended for it (if there are no recommendations then use OpenGApps, make sure the architecture is correct). Now wipe dalvik and restart. Sometimes, certain roms begin to bootloop if you boot into the rom first, then try to install gapps later.
If you still have issues, just reflash the stock rom.
I cant access the TWRP anymore, im just stuck on the Bootloader, no matter how i turn on The Phone (Volume Up + Power ON ), (Volume Down + Power), (All 3 Buttons)
Nothing works anymore i dont understand ....
Im searching the net but i cant go to fastboot or something else, its just keeps on rebooting ...
So it's bootlooping, but you cant access recovery?
When the screen turns off, press the key combo and it should go to recovery.
Your best bet is to take it to a service centre, but if that really isn't possible for you, then wait for its battery to drain completely, then when you plug in the charger, instead of turning the phone on, press the key combo to enter the recovery. From there, wipe and flash some other OS.
I've also heard that certain versions of TWRP don't support some roms, leading to a bootloop. In that case, you'll have to use orangefox recovery to flash the rom (orangefox is flashable via twrp)
Yes its Bootlooping.
When i turn it on, on the Left Corner "Recovery Mode" blinks for one second. Than the usual Text appears:
"Orange State
Your Device has been unlocked and cant be trusted
Your Device will boot in 5 Seconds".
So after a couple of seconds (around 10-20 sec)
It turns off and immediately on again. I Just can turn it OFF when i hold all 3 Buttons.
Than i try starting it with Volume up + Power / Volume down + Power, But i cant access Recovery or TWRP.
So i should wait til the battery gets low and try it again ?
Like i said, my custom Rom (Evolutionx) and TWRP just worked fine. I dont know man ...
Well since your bootloader is unlocked, try flashing the stock rom again. Look for a tutorial and follow it.
Hi I managed to unbrick my device with this guide, and im back on a stock rom
Unbrick
i ran following commands to get to my custom rom:
I run adb reboot bootloader,
add executed following commands.
(Pitch Black recovery 3.1)
- adb reboot bootloader
- fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
-fasboot reboot recovery
It just hang up and booted after a while into the normal system.
But im not able to get to the recovery menu ?
When I restart and hold Volume up + Power, i go in a loop and the phone keeps restarting over and over again.
what have i Fu**ed up ?
Do i need another recovery tool ?
sorry guys, i appreciate your help a lot tho !
EDIT: Is my bootloader unlocked ?
I can access via "adb reboot bootloader" the phone
and on the blackscreen on the phone it is written:
oppo verfiy pass
fastboot_unlock_verify ok
Update:
So i tried some Stuff and i got Red State. No Problem i Unbricked it once again and now im on Stock Android 10.
Now im Trying to enable the bootloader again.
I downloaded the In Depth Test_Realme_6.apk but i keep getting the Error that i should update the system.
So should i update the system ?
I cant find a CURRENT Tutorial to make this work, please help...
If you cant find a tutorial for your version, why not downgrade back to a previous one if possible.
