Hello everybody!
The last day my phone got stuck on bootloader screen. It just wouldn't boot the OS.
So I tried to fix that by flashing other rom. I have unlocked it trough MiUnlock.
Flashed in fastboot TWRP(rosy) recovery. It could boot TWRP but after a reboot, would launch MiRecovery.
After that the Android didnt start no more. After a new flash of TWRP I was able to enter recovery. I tried to flash a custom rom. After that the VOLUME UP + POWER wouldnt launch recovery no more (Also VOLUME DOWN+UP+POWER buttons, wont boot the Recovery)
Now i found an EDL mode to flash rom through XiaoMiFlash. Did it, Made the steps from tutorials. That, has changed the device to COM10 in MiFlash which let me try different official roms, and i always get the same error message: cannot receive hello packet, MiFlash is trying to reset status!
Also tried too flash a recovery img.
Tried everything i found on that, nothing worked to get those packets...
My only hope was to fastboot flash recovery TWRP or MiRecovery. And then flash new rom to fix my phone.
Tried many version of Twrp, but no success to actually flash.
I have tried removing recovery via adb and flashing another. Logs shows success but no effect on phone.
Still can't acces recovery mode on my phone.
Bootloop stuck. Shows MI logo and that its Unlocked.
Doesnt work flashing via fastboot - TWRP or MiRecovery images.
My phone is bricked for a week now. Please share a solution if you got one.
SOLVED

i bought from china the redmi note 2 and it came only with English and Chinese, and i wanted to install a global rom for it, in some instruction on xiaomi site/forum they said just download the rom, post in in the phone, enter the update app and there will be 3 dots, well i didn't had those dots, so i tried to flash custom recovery via flashify, it said all good, then i tried to enter recovery, it just doesn't let me(it gave me before the mi recovery, but when i tried to update zip from there it said invalid file).
so right now my phone is boot normaly into this chinese/english rom, everything works, but if i try to enter fastboot or recovery it just restart again and boot into the normal state
how can i reflash the recovery or get into the fastboot?
Install a Miui Developer Rom with root. Download flashify and flash twrp. Next flash your rom
that's how i have lost the recovery, i flashed via flashify the TWRP
i can't install miui developer rom without recovery
You can install anything with the MediaTek SP Flash Tool. Search for it on this forum or on Google.
install MI Flash Tool
then download fastboot developer rom or fastboot stable rom and flash it (not normal rom.zip but fastboot rom)
I have a similar problem - i tried to flash twrp recovery both by flashify and by fastboot flash and the recovery is simply not working. I can boot into fastboot without problems, or i can start the phone normally, but when i try to enter the recovery it just continuously reboots the phone and i have to take out the battery.
edit:
it appears i've been flashing wrong version of the recovery image, i flashed the one from this link and it worked - forum.androidurdu.net/showthread.php?tid=637
No matter how I try to flash the TWRP recovery image to the recovery partition, TWRP gets replaced by the crappy stock recovery!! This is absolutely maddening!
Specifically, it seems that no matter what method to use to flash the TWRP recovery, it gets overriden by the stock loader when the phone reboots.
My bootloader is UNLOCKED and I've installed a custom rom just fine by using the command fastboot boot twrp.img to boot into the twrp image. This is the only way I'm able to use TWRP at all.
I've tried:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Booting into TWRP, and flashing the image over the recovery partition
Flashify to flash the TWRP over the recovery partition from within the rom
Trying to flash cyangenmod's recovery from within the rom (was pretty desperate at this point..)
I've also tried many different versions of TWRP, I can boot into them just fine but none of them stick when I flash them to the recovery partition.
It always says it's successful when I try to flash it, I reboot into recovery, and it boots into the piece of crap EmUI stock recovery screen every time
Anyone have any pointers here? It's not the end of the world but it's pretty aggravating having a completely useless recovery if I'm not near a computer,.
Try using Flashify or Flashfire.
Sadly didn't work. It doesn't seem to matter how I flash the recovery, the bootloader replaces it with the stock recovery when it boots. I'll update the OP to clarify, but thank you
I am having same issue have you found a fix
Have you tried starting completely over? Like, downloading the official MM build (b331, C564D003) from Huawei (Assuming you're on L24)?
On the new, freshly installed ROM, make sure that USB Debugging is and enable OEM Unlock are on in the developer settings.
Then, try flashing this build of TWRP again.
Before rebooting, do a Cache/Dalvik Wipe.
Boot up into the stock rom, then use 'adb reboot recovery' to see what happens next. It should work...
Hi mate,
It'd be easier to help you if you could post a screenshot of your FASTBOOT screen. There will be a line that will say FRP=LOCKED/UNLOCKED something like this.
if it is locked,
you have to install stock rom & enable OEM unlock from setting.
Then relock the boot loader. Then again unlock the boot loader.
For myself, I unlocked my BL unofficially, & this problem occurred . I solved it this way...
Hope it helps.
Cheers!
Hello! This is my first thread on the forum;
I'm writing because I think I soft bricked my Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 LTE, let me explain from the very beginning.
It's a brand new device, bought today, and with a custom italian ROM which was sold with.
I just wanted to root it, and the bootloader was already unlocked because it was a custom ROM, so I tried to install TWRP (mocha version for Mi Pad) with Fastboot and then I wanted to install Magisk.
The issue is that, when I tried to flash TWRP to recovery with fastboot flash recovery twrp.img, it all went "OK" but then TWRP was not actually flashed and couldn't boot it with key combinations, it just looked like it wasn't there. I also tried to boot it without flashing, with fastboot boot twrp.img but it gave me
"Failed to load/authenticate boot image: 00000050" error
Looking on the web, I found someone who told to try fastboot flash boot twrp.img and so, without even thinking, I did it.
That's the main issue. I rebooted, and found that TWRP started, but now I couldn't boot my device anymore, because the default boot.img file was replaced by twrp.img. So, practically, TWRP replaced my device's default system (I think?).
Then, I tried to find a stock firmware for Mi Pad 4 (Clover) on the web, and I found it, so I flashed the stock firmware boot.img, fastboot flash boot boot.img, but when I rebooted, the device was stuck in the loading screen with three dots loading over a "Powered by Android" logo. I waited 20 minutes, nothing, it looks stuck, so this stock boot.img doesn't seem to work.
I can actually flash TWRP and that stock boot image both whenever I want and switch between them; the first works, the latter doesn't.
So, in poor words: I flashed twrp.img as boot.img and now I can't boot normally, but TWRP starts when turning on my device.
But I just want to get my default boot.img or system, or any other way to reaccess to my device. That's fine even if I have to hard reset or wipe everything, it's fine even if I am going to lose data, but please, just help me.
Can someone help me? I'm just a newbie in this world, please help me unbricking my device.
Thanks in advance.
Try installing twrp again and boot to it
Download custom rom.of your choice ( im using hovac and it been great for a year now )
Move it to your mipad via comouter
Format everything in twrp and install the rom and gapps
--- I just remembered havin same issue u having and if im not mistaking : u should reboot to recovery right after installing twrp ( you dont reboot to system )
Im not really sure about it cause it happened long time ago
@DanielVipx
Sorry, seems you tried that already. Did you try the mi flash tool?
This might help:

Hi,
So long story short, I tried to get good phone for someone for a good price, I ordered a Xiaomi Mi 10 from China - But it came with a bunch of Chinese bloatware so I wanted to flash the Global ROM and have Google on there
I added it to my Xiaomi account, unlocked the bootloader (waited 168 hours), then followed instructions from a youtube video (
)
It worked well - I used adb to flash TWRP, and was able to install the Global ROM from xiaomi.eu using TWRP (version 12-11) (filename: xiaomi.eu_multi_MI10_V12.2.9.0.RJBCNXM_v12-11)
This worked well and everything went smooth, and I thought I was done, then I wanted to remove the device from my Xiaomi account, so I did remove the device from my account via Mi Cloud, and then I went to factory reset the phone, and then it just keeps booting into Fastboot.
I tried to hold buttons to boot into TWRP (volume UP and Power) but just goes into Fastboot, I tried to flash TWRP again via adb using "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" but am getting this error when I run "fastboot boot twrp.img" - FAILED (remote: 'Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error')
Please let me know if there is anything I can do - even to get back to the chinese stock ROM
Thanks in advance
Hi all - I solved the problem by using the Global Fastboot ROM and MiFlash tool - I got a CRC error "update sparse crc list failed" but followed some advice to edit the "Flash.all" script and remove the 2 lines that contain "CRC"
Then the Flash process worked and the phone did boot into Global ROM
The xiaomieu stable version has a problem with custom recovery, so you grabbed fastboot.
if you want to use recovery, you need to boot recovery via ADB with the command fastboot boot recovery ....
Do not use on a stable version of xiaomieu recovery via the restart button to recovery
Actually, one can boot to recovery via restart button, but only after flashing the twrp 3.4.0 little turtle.
However, this recovery isn't able to decrypt the partitions, and could be used for flashing ROMs only from OTG drive.
The one that does decrypt and could be used in "normal" way is twrp 3.4.2.1206, but this one can only be booted as you said with fastboot boot recovery.img
