I think I have accidently erased EFS partition and I have no back up. I have seen a guide for restoring them for the redmi note 3 but nothing similar for the redmi note 4. Can anyone help me. I can install the official rom and an unofficial rom but the phone is in a constant bootloop and just restarts after 1 minute.
Just to add, I can't understand why it is bootlooping every minute. It means I can't do amything with it before it restarts. Adb recognizes the device and i have been able to get in long enough to see both imei's are gone. I get that I have wiped them but I don't understand why it is constantly bootlooping even after I put the official global rom put on and relocked it. After it went bad it would load recovery and fastboot but the screen was blank so I didn't realise at first until I noticed it was connected to Adb. Installing the global rom restored the recovery and fastboot screens but didn't help with the bootloop. If I could fix even just the boot loop it would be a start. Any help would be most appreciated even if it is just to tell me it is a lost cause.

The phone was working normally, but out of nowhere, it started to reboot in a loop. It turns himself alone from the moment i put the battery, the MIUI logo comes up and reboots after 2 or 3 seconds, repeating this over and over.
I can access to the TWRP and i already changed to 3 different roms, did a wipe in all times, however the issue is still present. The On/Off button is not stuck for sure, so i already ruled out that option
I'm really trying no to go to the warranty, due to the fact it was bought in China, so i don't expect nothing good from them
If someone has an idea, please , i really appreciate.
Hi,
When you use TWRP, you have to wipe all : data, internal memory, cache...
Download official rom from MIUI forum : you can use Fastboot, I think it's better solution than TWRP...
Good luck

Hi, thanks for the advice but i cannot even access to the Fastboot, because after entering in fastboot mode the phone reboots again. However it doesn't reboot with TWRP.
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.
Hello,
I've got a Wiko Jerry 2.
Wanted to root the device because the apps it comes with used up more then half the space.
So, Had some experience with Flashing, ADB and Fastboot with a other device.
Searched a tutorial and followed it.
Unlocked the bootloader, flashed and restarted the device.
It rebooted and showed the Android logo and Wiko logo, with orange code: warning your boot is unlocked and can't be trusted, reboot in 5 seconds. (It didn't reboot)
It stayed in this boot, removed the battery and went back into fastboot to flash the factory rom back.
After flashing the stock rom it ended in a bootloop with the same logo's and code orange.
Meaning it went wrong again. The problem I'm facing now is that I can't get the device in fastboot. not even with ADB.
ADB doesnt recognize the phone.
EDIT: The phone is showing in device manager. But it's refreshing the device manager every 2 seconds meaning the device is getting connected/disconnected every 2 seconds.
A bit lost here, someone got some ideas to try?
Thanks in advance,
Floeske.

My Device - Redmi Note 3 QC
I was using the MIUI9_MiuiPro_Port_Hydrogen_to_KENZO_Stable_V9.5.1.0_MOD_KISASANYA. Suddenly it restarted and never booted up. It is not dead cause it still booting into recovery, I can flash ROM's but the problem is it never get past the MI starting boot logo(not the booting one which has an android written below the mi logo). The CPU is heating continuously on the logo screen. I don't know what to do at this point. I've tried every method on the forum but nothing helped.
At this point, I think the CPU has died:crying:. Please if anyone can help in any sort of way. Thanks.

Use Format data(not wipe) option in twrp before flashing rom.
Stay on latest firmware too.
As @naik2902 said use format data but do not wipe or flashing lazy flasher might work for you. I suggest flash lazy flasher first it it still does'nt boot up then try formatting.
So, yesterday my phone turned off on its own and keeps rebooting and gets stuck on lockscreen for 5 seconds until it reboots again. When I try to factory reset using TWRP or OrangeFox, it keeps telling me that my data partition is corrupt. And my phone wouldn't boot for this reason. I've even tried flashing fastboot rom using mi flash tool but the problem persists. Any help would be appreciated.
P.S: I got my motherboard replaced in January as my phone was under warranty. So, I'm afraid it could be a hardware related issue.
If your phone is still under warranty try to have it looked at. Sounds like a HW issue.
Yes it should not crash right after clean flashing fastboot MIUI
