In the link you will find Stock EMUI 8 Ramdisk, Recovery and System, as well as TWRP and a Kernel that fixes the possibility of losing the capacitive buttons. Download them into a folder on the root of your PC (for example C:\Temp)
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/88l72rypm6u1u94/AADtPyvsIFhyBl1mcJ5raTBZa?dl=0
I don't know what caused your boot to disappear, mine disappeared when i tried to unroot it from within SuperSU app (Big Mistake), but let's not be drastic just yet. You need Fastboot and ADB on your PC, turn off your phone, hold Volume - and connect the USB cable from the PC to the device. You should enter Fastboot mode. I hope your device is FRP unlocked as well.
Open a command line and input "fastboot devices" to make sure your device is connected
First let's try restoring Ramdisk, TWRP and Kernel:
Run "fastboot flash ramdisk STF-L09_ramdisk.img", then "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk stf_twrp_oreo.img" and finally "fastboot flash kernel B360_fix_kernel.img"
After that just run "fastboot reboot" and see if it boots or not... This should take care of your problem, if not, let's go drastic:
Turn off the device and plug it in fastboot mode again onto your PC.
On the command line run "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY_RAMDISK.img" (this will flash stock recovery), and "fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img" (this will flash your system partition, in small bathes at a time, fresh.)
After that, just "fastboot reboot" and it should boot to your system (and without a factory reset!) If it bootloops for some reason, turn off the device, boot into stock recovery and wipe cache (or do a full factory reset, but that should not be necessary i think...)
Hope all this helps!

Hi sir I tried, everything flashes ok but when I reboot it continue bootloops until it enter into erecovery. I tried to wipe data but when I press the button to wipe cache after it displays a red '!' into the circle and the same for the wiping data.
sorry for my English, how can I solve ..? FRP was written "FRP unlock"

Everything flashes ok, no errors? What did you flash? Everything?
eRecovery is to rescue the device, that won't work with Oreo (at least not for me). The stock recovery you enter it by keeping the Vol + pressed and power up the device (just as TWRP), you can enter it? And it gives error when wiping the cache?

What ROM exactly were you using? OldDroid's B360? Or some other?
I were using the stock emui8 I don't know the build number because I can't get it. My region is italy

The only explanation i see is that the EMUI8 you were using has something different from the one in OldDroid's thread... On mine i did exactly what i told you, those files are the ones i used on mine as well.
Right now you have everything stock right? Can you try to flash one of the Treble Roms? Either AOSP or RR-O?
You just have to download them (they're a system.img file) and run the "fastboot flash system system.img" command, go to recovery and factory reset. Your device should boot.
If everything fails, the only hope i see if to go to OldDroid's thread - https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/how-to/stf-l09c432-how-to-install-oreo-h9-t3707729 and download the files, and follow the instructions on the OP to rollback to Nougat.

I think the link you probided is a fake bull$hiting guide :
1) it states european C432 but provided two of the three files of a russian C10 firmware.
2) almost sure. the file provided won't flash the dload way as stated in guide.

OK, so you were on oreo, and now the nougat's service repair dload firmware are not working.
I'll start by asking:
-how do you get bricked, what did you do just before ?

Same here, I just have access to eRecovery and fastboot mode
I was on the last version (oreo) and I wanted root my phone so I have unlock bootloader and install twrp but after twrp install in the wipe my internal stockage was empty and when I wanted install supersu I have some error like failed to mount: data, failed to mount: cache, ect..
but I still had access to my phone
Except that I had to go through the eRecovery every time so I tried to look at the side of my errors mount and I tried unbrick with the software Huawei Multi Tool and images of a rom stock publish on the forum except that I had even more access to my phone but I no longer have the errors mount.. With Huawei Multi Tool I have try the recovery option but nothing, now I don't know what make
Hi everyone I tried all the tools given into this thread but no success, it seems like a big lost challenge
Tell us more..
so you were on oreo or nougat before brick ?
and now the nougat's service repair dload firmware are not working ?
how do you get bricked, what did you do just before ?
Yeah never see a sht like that, I guess we have to send our phones to a huawei repair center..
Ok you were on oreo emui8.
Related
I screwed up my phone lol, when I was updating it to oreo, I didn't know that the update.zip file was corrupted.
Now I'm stuck on
Error!
Func NO : 9 (hifi image)
Error NO : 1 (security image failed)
My version was...
STF-L09C185B170
What i tried to install that failed is...
STF-L09C185B361 (8.0.0.361)
I can still go to fastboot with everything unlocked, I can also flash a twrp recovery, but only by typing flash recovery_ramdisk(instead "recovery"), and when I try to do the update method by pressing vol up, vol down, and power, it doesnt take me to the update section, it just show me a crashed screen, then goes back to error message.
I also tried volup and power, I can't seem to go to twrp(I think booting to twrp and flashing zip files can be one of the only ways to fix this). Is there a way to go to twrp recovery using fastboot?
I've also tried flashing extracted files from update.app manually, it doesn't work. Some files can be flashed, while some can't.
Please I'm begging u guys, pls halp :crying:
also I guess the lesson here is: double check if your file is corrupted before installing/flashing
First, what is the way you took triying to update ?
(When done from system UI, official or FF, there is an integrity check of downloaded files.)
It seems you got oreo partition scheme during your failed update.
First see this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/fastboot-erecovery-recovery-upgrade-mode-t3543441
Try to restore using erecovery. (download and update firmware via wifi)
If not working you could use HWOTA8.
For launching recovery (stock or twrp) from bootloader type "fastboot reboot recovery".

I downloaded the oreo file using a browser and installed it with HWOTA, everything got inserted into my device, but the update failed and it gave me the error when I reboot. Also I can't get to erecovery or upgrade mode(that's the crashed screen), and "fastboot reboot recovery" doesn't work, it just show me a list of commands(which I assume happens if the command is invalid).
Ok I'll try HWOTA8, but I need to configure it so it recognizes my device, only my adb recognizes it.
Do 'fastboot devices work'?
Try english hwota8.

Nah, I figured it out, I backed up my adb folder and just merged hwota8 with it. Yes, it does work.
Btw how do I fully turn off the device? it just keeps bootlooping if i hold down the volup and power key, maybe this is the reason why I can't get into twrp recovery.
My only hope is that I can flash something on fastboot that will let me go to update mode(or erecovery) or twrp.
Like.. anything, even boot.img fails when I try to flash it. It must be stuck on oreo partition.
Also I did considered dc phoenix, but I don't have the money to pay for an account. Man, why is unbricking not free on huawei devices? That guy prolly made a fortune by now(for holding everyone with unbrick leverage lel), and it's a huge mistake for me to fiddle with a huawei device, it has so many problems with twrp and root.
If anyone can find a way to do unbrick it, like anything, that would be great.
So you didn't manage to use honor9's hwota8 ?

I used it but it didn't worked, I need to be either booted in the phone's os or inside twrp recovery bec. all of the commands executed by hwota8 are adb shell, not fastboot. Like I said, I only have access to fastboot, but I'll try again tomorrow. This is taking a lot of my time and I'm having panic attacks that I may not be able to fix this lol. Oh yeah, thanks for helping out.
Note: Since Oreo, partitions names have changed ; "recovery" changed to "recovery_ramdisk" now.
Use this command to flash recovery: fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk YourStockOrTwrpRecovery.img
Use oreo stock recovery or oreo twrp.
But I thought with hwotas available for honor 9 you started from bootloader...

I already did that, read the OP. Like I said, I can't boot into any recovery, not twrp not stock, not even upgrade mode, nothing.
As for hwota8, nope, it doesnt start from the bootloader, it's already trying to use the adb shell commands.
Anyway I'm taking all chances, I'm trying to research oreo's partitions names, and I'm also trying to find out how to bypass this message "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)" bec. it might be the only way I can salvage this phone.
edit: ok im trying hwota8 again, maybe i missed something, and yes it has fastboot, sorry i was rushing but im trying again now, i'll post my progress later
Hi all,
Currently running Oreo (via OldDroid manual update) then LOS 15.1 (Berkley unofficial) on top, which is great but would like NFC, buttons, flashlight.
What is the best method to reinstate this functionality? I have tried the rollback for OldDroid rollback to no avail. I believe this method assumes you are rooted, which i am not.
Happy to be on EMUI 5 if necessary as i believe i can now update to Oreo OTA.
Cheers
Can i provide further pertinent information or ask elsewhere to get replies?
What did you do in the fist place to go from stock oreo to LOS 15.0 ; any links ?
Thank you.
I flashed the system image using "fastboot flash system system.img" via article https://www.xda-developers.com/lineageos-honor-view-10-huawei-mate-10-pro-project-treble/
Cheers
I think, once unrooted, you'll have to flash back stock system.

Great, thank you. I am not rooted so I extracted the system.img from STF-L09SC432B360a (from http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=STF-L09&firmware_page=0) using this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/how-to/guide-extracting-stock-firmware-files-t3756733
Then using that stock emui 8 system image:
"fastboot flash system system.img"
I receive the following error:
error: cannot load 'SYSTEM.img'
Any ideas?
Cheers
Another attempt at system.img extract using my windows box and the windows software referred to in https://forum.xda-developers.com/mat...files-t3756733.
This time i was able to flash the system.img successfully. When the device booted, it boot looped 3/4 times then i received :
Huawei eRecovery :
"Serious problems occurred when the phone boot, you are recommended to do factory data reset
NOTE: user data will be wiped after recovery".
I performed this reset and device booted to TWRP some commands took place but too quick (saw selinux buts thats it). Device rebooted twice then loaded Huawei eRecovery where the only option is :
Download latest version and recovery
Restore system with wifi
Entered wifi details
Getting package info from server
Getting package info failed.
Booting into TWRP the 'Factory Reset' option performs the same process that i saw when Huawei eRecovery recommended the factory data reset. Some i'm confident in what happened at that point now. Unsure as to what to try at this point. The phone does not boot into EMUI and will only boot to Huawei eRecovery.
The bootloader is unlocked, as per the process to install LineageOS 15.1 in the link in the OP. I've not checked if its still unlocked, but guess that could be causing a problem?
Just checked and bootloader is unlocked.
Interestingly the process to re lock it from the Huawei site (https://emui.huawei.com/en/unlock_step) shows that you have to use the same command to lock the bootloader as to lock it again:
Note: to re-lock the bootloader after unlocking it, restore the device’s software to the Huawei official version using a microSD card then switch the device to fastboot mode and enter “fastboot oem unlock ****************” in the computer’s command prompt, where * refers to the 16-digit unlock password. The device will then restart, and the bootloader lock status will change to “Bootloader Lock State: RELOCKED”.
If i follow those instructions i get the below error:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock **************** <-my 16 digit code
...
FAILED (remote: already fastboot unlocked)
Stop trying to lock your bootloader, it won't help you. Interresing info though.
Did it occur to you that after flashing back successfully system.img it could have been good to flash back stock recovery over twrp ?
This way you would have bootloop 3 or 4 times, and then stock recovery would have launch, not twrp.
I think a format system from this stock recovery, not twrp, would have solve your problem.
Thanks. So I can leave the boot loader unlocked at this point and run stock emui? I'll flash stock recovery. Perhaps that will suggest factory reset and then I'll be able to boot.
Thanks again.

In order to revert to the stock recovery is it necessary to flash all three recovery images from the update.app file? :
recovery_ramdisk
recovery_vendor
recovery_vbmeta
Looking at flashing the recovery_ramdisk image with the stock version i have extracted using the below:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY_RAMDISK.img
Noticed the stock recovery_ramdisk i extracted has a filename of 'RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img', not ending in 'K' for 'RAMDISK. Presumably i can simply rename my recovery_ramdisk to "RECOVERY_RAMDISK.img" unless a 15 character filename is a limitation, or adjust my fastboot command to :
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY_[B]RAMDIS[/B].img
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img
Did the trick to boot back into EMUI 8. However, i still have an intermittent torch/flashlight and the navigation keys/buttons do not work.
Any ideas on where i go from here?

You'll need to be unrooted and with stock recovery for applying ota when it will be available.
I don't know if you'll need stock kernel for ota...

MANUALLY INSTALLING FULL NOUGAT 7.11 FIRMWARE 2018/03/15(security_patch 2018-02-05) (RECOVERY, BOOT, SYSTEM) Even If Its Soft Bricked Because You Messed Up Somewhere. Files Here Are For Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom ZE553KL Z01HD WW Sku .
Its The Last Nougat Update Before Oreo Was Released.
MORE FIRWARES HERE
Story Time:
As I Remember It.....Condensed Version, This Was Over A Few Days Of Trial And Error, Mainly Because Adb SideLoad Refused To Flash Asus's Stock Firmware Zip Files.
I Messed Up My Friends Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom, ZE553KL.
He Bought Used, He Quickly Updated To Oreo From Within The Phones Update But Was Having Missed Texts And Slow Lte(4g) Speeds, He Wasnt Sure If It Happened On Nougat Which The Phone Was On Originally.
Downgraded To 6.01, Installed Twrp, Magisk, Still Having Same Issues, Flashing An Update Zip W/a Modded Updater Script Via Twrp Caused A Soft Bricked Phone, It Never Completed The Flash, Twrp Backup Didnt Work, Factory Reset A No Go, Couldn't Manually Flash Stock Rom As Adb Sideload Always Gave Errors, Fastboot System images Didnt Help For One Reason Or Another, Phone Was Just Bootlooping Back To The Unlocked Bootloader Menu.
Down Loaded Alot Of Stuff, Read Countless Pages, And Somehow Got The Right Firmware Files(recovery, boot, system img files) That Was Flashable Via Fastboot Extracted From A Zip, My Fix Is Below. These Are Not My Files But I Cant Remember Where I Got Them From As I Dl-ed Alot Of Stuff Trying To Get This Phone To A Running State. No I Havent Tried Oreo Yet, He Has His Phone Back Now And Not Sure When He'll Let Me Play With It Again, Lol.

CAN REDO THIS SYSTEM FLASH NOW TO MAKE SURE IT "STICKS"
Code:
fastboot flash system system-zoom-7.11.img
4.
wipes internal sdcard
Code:
fastboot format userdata
5.
Code:
fastboot reboot
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if you were successfull it will boot into 7.11, takes about 3-5 mins to boot.
IF DID NOT FLASH PROPERLY OR ODD BEHAVIOR AFTER REBOOT THEN REDO STEPS AGAIN....ELSE KEEP READING!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
IF STILL BRICKED OR ODD BEHAVIOR BUT CAN BOOT TO BOOTLOADER/FASTBOOT THEN DO THESE COMMANDS WHEN IN FASTBOOT MODE
Code:
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot -w
fastboot erase splash
fastboot erase cache
THEN RE-BOOT BACK INTO BOOTLOADER AND DO THE FLASH FOR 7.11 FIRMWARE
STILL HAVING ISSUES, RESTORE USING TECH FW THAT REFLASHES ALL MDMS, RADIOS, DRIVERS ETC FROM HERE

Thanks for the information...
I can provide you latest system,boot, recovery.img files if you want...
Do you know how to make raw firmware?? Because that could come handy for hard bricked phones.

What do u mean by raw. In what format is it in.
I've converted oreo stock firmware .dat files to .img files but I can't test them as I don't have the phone. My friend seems happy on nougat and I don't think he'll let me flash it on his phone.
I haven't tried dl-ing official stock and seeing if phone will see it as an update to manually self install via nougat recovery or maybe to try adb sideload again.

ciao
God bless you! You made my quite dead phone, live again!
Thank you
I can't update to Oreo via ota... do you know why?
the op here. lol, my friend dropped the phone and now its dead screen, no display/no touch but phone still works.
he doesnt want to get a screen for it as it will cost almost as much as he paid for it.......so its mine now.
been flashing stuff to it, gave it a very hard soft brick, still dealing with that.
my goal was to run it remotely but get adb/usb debugging enabled and get pc trusted by phone. i thought he wanted to sell it as is but decided to give to me to do whatever i want to it
got out of the hard soft brick, installed twrp, use twrp cli, twrp backups and restore, rooted w/magisk, installed 6.0.1 (fluked it), 7.11 using my method above with the extra erase commands, removed frp, got adb /usb debugging enabled and device adb authorized by hacking , got vysor, a remote control mirroring app running, all without a working screen.
i'll write up a tut for any1 else that needs help. fyi, weak screen if dropped even short distance, but he had no cover, but pretty to hard to brick it, imo, ymmv

Hi,
Here is a long story of bricking my device, I wanted to downgrade my device from Oreo to Nougat, and somehow I installed wrong software, mine is RNE-L21 and after successful downgrade with this method:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3vqb8hPZIQ
version of software I installed: RNE-L21C461B153CUSTC461D001
my device was NEO-something, in settings it showed 3GB of RAM instead of 4GB, screen resolutution 1280x720 instead of fullHD and 32GB of internal memory instead of 64, so I wanted to change that.
This time I downloaded (not so sure about this now) proper version of firmware: RNE-L21C432B135CUSTC432D001, and used another method because previous method didnt work, link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76503686&postcount=46
the HuRUpdater scrpit worked fine, I booted up the device and nothing was changed, so I was like, well, ok then.
but then I noticed that my bootloader was locked, so I wanted to unlock it, and after typing the *fastboot oem unlock code* and selecting yes on my device, It rebooted and just stuck at the "Powered by andriod" logo.
I was trying to enter TWRP but id doesnt work, its stuck at the loading screen, I was unable to enter fastboot, but now I figured out that when I discharge it, I'm able to enter fastboot.
So now I'm stuck, I don't know what should I do.
I saw a guide for flashing .img files from UPDATE.APP, but that guide was for Oreo, and I've got diffrent .img files inside my Nougat UPDATE.APP so I don't want to risk:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/help/mate-10-lite-bricked-t3794236
sentavn said:
you should format by using fastboot. First download your stock ROM and extract with Huawei Firmware Extracter. Select UPDATE.APP and extract following files:
erecovery_kernel.img
erecovery_ramdisk.img
erecovery_vbmeta.img
cust.img
erecovery_vendor.img
kernel.img
ramdisk.img
recovery_vbmeta.img
recovery_vendor.img
system.img
Reboot your device in to fastboot mode (recovery mode) and flash those files one by one:
fastboot flash erecovery_kernel erecovery_kernel.img
...
fastboot flash system system.img
//
Erase your userdata space:
fastboot -w
//reboot
fastboot reboot
Now go to your stock recovery and do factory reset, wide cache.
Now your device back to stock OREO
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Any Ideas?
HOW I FIXED:
I downloaded this EMUI 5 Nougat, Thanks to bozka1:
https://androidhost.ru/5SZ
I extracted UPDATE.APP file using Huawei Update Extractor.
I was trying to flash everything via fastboot: BOOT.img, RECOVERY.img, RECOVERY2.img, CUST.img, SYSTEM.img but nothing helped me.
I found out what you can flash via fastboot here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/huawei-fastboot-commands-t3850123
There was no hope for me, so I tried to flash USERDATA.img
fastboot flash userdata USERDATA.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And then cmd promped something unusual:
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'userdata' (24576 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.646s]
writing 'userdata'...
(bootloader) success to erase cryypt info in oeminfo
OKAY [ 1.401s]
finished. total time: 2.049s
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then I proceeded to flash: BOOT.img, RECOVERY.img, RECOVERY2.img and CACHE.img
I didn't flash SYSTEM.img because I flashed it before like 1500 times.
My phone didn't work yet so I used the DLOAD method because RECOVERY finally worked, so I shut down the device and used three buttons combo:
First holding Volume Up, Volume Down and then pressing Power Button.
There is a documentation in the firmware I downloaded, SDcard must be in exFAT format.
Thank You bozka1.

So I'll have to wait a little before I'll download Service ROM, my internet connection isn't the greatest, but I flashed Your TWRP and unfortunately it doesn't work;
If I hold the Power button and Volume Up - the same story as before, I see the loading TWRP screen and nothing happends,
If I let the device to boot up and then press only the Volume Up button - it says "Your device is booting up" and nothing happens.
By the way, what can happen when I'll use "fastboot flash recovery something.img" instead of recovery2?
EDIT:
I did some testing and Your TWRP doesn't boot at all on my device, I flashed another one, Catuva21 3.1.1 Nougat, and that is the one that I had before - it is booting but never loads.

TWRP will automatically overwrite Stock recovery, it's impossible to flash something from dload without Stock recovery .
Using command "recovery2" you will install TWRP over eRecovery .
Try flash Service ROM from SD card without TWRP & oeminfo flashing, but Im not sure... your system is heavily damaged and incomplete .

So the phone would boot up the TWRP without pressing anything? Damn, I might have done that typo error... Do You know if I can restore the stock recovery from the UPDATE.APP file? I mean flash it

Alright, so did it just happened randomly or did you tried to do something with your phone? Did you unlocked bootloader or flashed custom recovery etc? You need to explain what happened, that's quite important if you want someone to help you.
Hi all,
The story is that I had Linage flashed, but it said it was time to update the firmware, so I tried to do that.
I booted in twrp and flashed the most recent firmware. I had plenty of power on the battery. But after it finished it booted into a classic miui interface. From here it only got worse. It asked for my password which I entered several times, but it was incorrect.
What I tried was to clear the storage. But I get the same error when it boots - it boots into miui, then shortly after a google load screen and then it reboots.
I tried downloading the mi flash tool. But when I connect the phone and locate the file, the screen has just one line in the corner saying something like "press any key to reboot".
With the adb command it doesn't seem like there is actually made a connection.
I do not really care which OS you suggest I install, as long as it at least can get it up and running again.
------------------
I just got it into fastboot and it goes fine with fastboot devices where I can see that it is connected, but when I enter fastboot flash recovery twrp.img then the phone reboots with an error code in the cmd window saying:
"FAILED (Write to device failed (Unknown error))
fastboot: error: Command failed"
Any suggestions to what I can do? Can it be the twrp image that is causing the issue?

This will work with any Android 10 custom ROM
If you want to stay unencrypted, you have to use dfe (disable force encryption). I have never used it, but if you want it try to get one without magisk.
1. 11.0.6 is the latest firmware. You can download it from here:https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/beryllium/
2. You have to format your internal storage.
3. Steps: go to recovery (press back when it asks for password)->wipe->format data (it will ask you to type "yes")-> wipe system, data, internal storage,cache, davlik cache
Copy firmware,rom, gapps, dfe into your internal storage, flash firmware (most ROMs include vendor but flash full firmware just to be sure), ROM, gapps, dfe and reboot.

Twrp!
You flash firmware as a normal zip.
I understand that twrp works for you.
If it doesn't, flash twrp through fastboot and then proceed as i mention above
Thanks for your replies.
The problem I have is that fastboot does not really seem to work.
When I try to do a fastboot command I get the error that goes:
"Sending 'recovery' (31068 KB) FAILED (Write todevice failed (Unknown error))
fastboot:error: Command failed"
Also, I just tried the Mi unlock tool and it seems that it cannot create a connection with the usb cable - so could that be the reason that I cannot flash it?

Download twrp for poco f1 from the official twrp site.
When everything is ready and you have pressed flash, THEN boot into fastboot and connect the cable
Edit: you also might have relocked your bootloader. If what I mention above doesn't work, unlock your bootloader again with the unlock file Xiaomi originally sent you.

The phone doesn't boot into a system, and currently as I load fastboot whenever the connection to the computer is made it goes to a screen saying 'press any key to turn off'.
I did notice, though, that after I from recovery wipe all data, then in the first boot it encrypts the phone. But it never manages to get the OS up and running.

HI mate,
I wanna check how long did it take to install Android 10 on your poco?
Cuz I installed the rom for more than 30 minutes after reboot and it is not over by follow your steps.
Idk what's the problem with my poco.
------------------------------------------------------------
New update:
Finally, I completed flash the rom, and Idk what's the problem, lol
I can boot into both fastboot and recovery. The recovery is Mi-recovery 3.0. Though, in recovery it doesn't seem that I can get any connection with it.

Currently, when I do anything beyond fastboot devices I get the screen reading "press any key to shutdown"

You most likely had your bootloader re-locked. You have to unlock it again
sorry for the late reply.
I downloaded MiFlashPro, and apparently I could flash miui 11. So far, so good. But as I tried to flash or even boot into twrp I got the same command as I used to.
Can the issue be because I maybe don't have the latest drivers installed?

I can boot into both fastboot and recovery. The recovery is Mi-recovery 3.0. Though, in recovery it doesn't seem that I can get any connection with it.

update
Currently, when I do anything beyond fastboot devices I get the screen reading "press any key to shutdown"

Do you have all the drivers installed on your pc ?
ADB and Fasboot drivers. And try using usb 2.0 ports. Mi tools have issues with usb 3.0 ports. And You should be on an Intel processor. You can also try twrp 3.3.1 beta by @Reignz.
