So this old thread - https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/help/strange-problem-black-screen-redmi-note-t3716706
used to work for me. I downloaded the v17 twrp given by highwaystar_ru, and flashed it via adb, rebooting to bootloader, then fastboot flash recovery twrp.img, then rebooting via power+vol up buttons.
However it is no longer working - there is no visual display.
adb devices detects the device in recovery mode
Touching my finger randomly on the screen, it vibrates. I verified that this actually still 'works' on the TWRP menu, so it's definitely the fault of TWRP just not displaying on my screen.
The official TWRP download does not seem to work either.
Any advice and experience is welcome, thanks

If the problem still persists then idk try restoring your phone to stock by Mi kdz files by following this guide if you dont know:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/how-to/guide-revive-redmi-note-4x-codename-t3703365
It says bricked but you can use it aswell, and try repeating the proccess of unlocking bootloader(now you can unlock it whenever you want because xiaomi has already given you the permission) and flashing a twrp again.
Hopefully i helped
Flashing all four of those links with fastboot flash recovery, then leaving the phone plugged in and pressing key combination to get back to recovery, do not work.
I have since fixed it. Not sure why it wasn't working, but here were my steps:
Install MiFlash tool.
Go to bootloader/fastboot mode on phone.
Flash an 8.1.11 ROM.
Then everything works from there, and can reinstall the v17 ebbg TWRP as usual.

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
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

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 have a Wileyfox Spark since few months. At the beggining it was running with CM. Two weeks ago, I made the update from CM to Android Nougat, but after giving a try I dislike it. So I have tried (for the first time) to flash another ROM (CM or Lineage) but it is a pain.
As I was unable to root my device, I have used adb and fastboot to install twrp.
Here are the commands I enter :
Code:
adb reboot-recovery
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot
Then I press to volume down button to display the recovery menu but, instead of displaying the menu, the device boot again and again until I'm tired and I release the button. Then the phone boot normaly on Android...
For information, if I apply all these actions except the fastboot flash I can enter the recovery menu.
Am I wrong or missing something ?
Thanks for your help.

Same here,but try releasing the Power-Button once it starts, helped for me booting into TWRP anyways.
BTW, how'd you manage to root that thing before? I am not able to do jacksh**t.
thanks a lot!
I can help you to get back booting up that phone again as it was. Is it still with that problem? I suspect you entered fastboot, unlocked bootloader and flashed TWRP on bootup the phone needed the stock recovery in order to factory reset due to the unlocking of bootloader. This way it boots to TWRP and runs the Open Recovery Script to decrypt and reset the device. This becomes impossible at certain progress and thus phone keeps on going to TWRP instead of booting. I shall address the issue well if you're still in need of this. I'm using the same phone also here

Hello, My phone (Col L29) is currently softbricked and I can only access fastboot and ERecovery, TWRP when flashed won't boot when using the right process to boot and ERecovery cant download the firmware, I've tried flashing various parts of the stock update firmware to no success, if anyone can help that'd be really good!
Thanks
Andrew

before it was bricked I was going through the process to install a new OS, i was using twrp bekerly (view 10) and it froze on the splash screen, so after a few minutes i held the power button and after that i couldn't access the recovery whatso ever.
I've tried ERecovery via wifi and OTG (not sure if i set up the folder correctly for otg of if otg just doesn't work), flashing stock recovery, flashing as many things as i could from the UPDATE.APP (do note that i couldnt flash ramdisk as that command was "not allowed" as with many other partitions), i have also tried wiping then flashing (be that through ERecovery or Fastboot).
When I try to access Recovery (rebooting after flashing, removing USB cable and holding Vol +), it goes to the Device is not trusted screen and then to ERecovery if i don't let go of the vol button.
I've softbricked my Moto G4 before but man, this is a ***** in comparison.
Try to flash the correct twrp via fastboot and should be fine. You may have incorrectly flashed the erecovery to the regular ramdisk_recovery(probably) which may lead to only erecovery and fastboot.
Erecovery doesn't work in most of the cases for many(though i have success rate of over 90%).
Also, flashing cust.img, version.img and vendor.img helps sometime.
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!!
