i just rooted and install twrp(3.2.3-0) via adb fastboot on my redmi note 4x (miui 9) 2days ago, everything works fine, untill i restart the phone last night (dnt ask me why, i also dnt knw why) and the problem comes up. A normal restart will be like: MI logo with bottom "unlocked" > MI logo with bottom "andriod" processing > logged into MIUI (ask for phone unlock password) > done. But it's now: MI logo with bottom "unlocked" > twrp menu. No matter how i boot, it just keep going to twrp menu.
i have tried to reboot twrp recovery, bootloader, system / advanced wipe cache, dalvik/ART cache... even flash lazyflasher are all end up the same result. And also it's not allowing me to power off in twrp, it just restart instead and stuck in MI logo with bottom "unlocked" (not going in twrp menu though). i cant recall if i have input wrong command during the root/installing twrp 2days ago.
Please help, is there any way to solve this other than hard reset? i have too many important files inside including company info, unless it's the only and only way.... thanksss a lot to whoever is trying to help
ps: a computer noobie, step by step solution would be great appreciate

Hi,
A friend has a brand new Redmi Note 2 and after few hours the phone been bricked, so I flash by following this tuto > en.miui. dot .com/thread-187696-1-1.html
It works !
2 weeks later the phone bootloop again, so we followed this tuto again but didn't worked. It was pretty hard to access the Flashboot menu, seems the vol buttons were not working. Sometimes we reached the boot menu, but the phone was freezing on the menu and booted again.
Finally I reached the flashboot, I wiped it successfully !
But nope, the phone is still bootlooping.
Any ideas ? Of course today he tried to go to the shop, but the "professional" said him he never heard about this brand and this problem, so he can't fix it...
Cheers
Use Flash Tool and flash Recovery again
I've flash again and still bootlooping ..
I can't access the storage part on the phone.
Is it possible to put a rom custom ?
The phone try to load something but still loading ...
Have you try a full wipe that means that all data is deleted ? What Firmware have you installed ? What Recovery is on your phone ?
Hi all,
I have a Xiaomi Redmi 3 and I tried updating it to Android 6.0 today using a very helpful article from cyanogenmods
It was all going so well until the end when I came to flash the ROM, I downloaded the wrong one!! (I needed the ARM64).
Anyway my phone restarted and now I can't seem to rectify my mistake!
I can't access the recovery mode (Power button and volume up) It just shows me the Xiaomi sign and stays there but I can access Fastboot (Power and volume down) and it can communicate with the PC via CMD.
I'm super new to this and I've been looking online for the past 5 hours with no luck so maybe someone can help me out.
I tried fastboot update open_gapps-arm64-6.0-aroma-20160814.zip
But I got...
archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'
error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt
Any suggestions? I've found a few other threads but they're way too techy for me and I couldn't understand what to do!
Thanks in advance
I've realised that my initial post was pretty vague and I don't think I used the correct terminology so I'll explain in the hope that someone may be able to help.
So I wanted to update from 5.1.1 to 6.0.
I found an article from Cyanogenmods and I downloaded the Redmi 3 TWRP recovery, the ROM for Redmi 3 Cyanogenmods 13 and the GApps.
I installed the TWRP recovery,
Copied the GApps and CyanogenMod ROM ZIP to my device
Booted into recovery mode and backed up my data using TWRP,
Wiped data factory reset, Cache partition, Dalvik Cache and Formatted the System partition,
I flashed the custom ROM and it all worked well,
I then went to flash the GApps and thats when it said that I had installed the wrong version (I needed the ARM64 not the 32).
It then restarted and I've been stuck in a bootloop.
I can access fastboot.
I can't get into recovery, the phone just goes to the Xiaomi sign then gets stuck on the Cyanogenmod logo.
A few times it looked like it was doing an update but it was all in Chinese so I couldn't understand it then it briefly went to what looked like a set up screen but then rebooted and got stuck on the logo screen again.
Any help would be great;y appreciated.
I only bought this phone a few days ago, my stupid mistake for wanting to upgrade!!

if i was in your situation i'd probably go fastbootmode > EDL > then flash official dev rom from miui site(ido). from there'd id redo everything unlocking bootloader,flashing twrp,etc.
check out this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-3/development/redmi-3-pro-spacex-rom-t3406919
it has a "How to Unbrick Redmi 3 ? " on the first page.
helped me alot, hope it unbricks ur phone too! cheers!
have you unlocked your bootloader?, its very risky to change to custom rom when your bootloader is locked, if its already unlocked, all you have to do is go to en.miui.com and download official rom for redmi 3 and flash it using Miflash
Edl mode is the best bet to get back to stock. Vol up and down while plugging in if i recall, from an off state. I couldn't get it from fastboot.
Lets try this for reach to TWRP.
First press volume up and down button after press power button and wait.
Phone is going to restart and you see mi icon very short time and screen is going black, immediately release all buttons and wait. You have to reach recovery with this combination.
Open a terminal/command prompt and navigate to where you have the TWRP file. Put phone in fastboot mode and enter this command: "fastboot boot (name_of_TWRP.img)".
Then when you're in recovery, just flash the new Gapps.
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 everyone,
I’m actually not an android developer but managed to maneuver myself in a quite tricky situation. I think I need some help from someone how has deep insights in the that topic.
Right now, I’ve got the problem that only TWRP would start if I press the power button of my Ulefone Armor 6. The Stock ROM won’t. My original goal was to restore pictures I deleted by using a recovery tool on my pc. For that reason, I tried to root the phone by using TWRP and Magisk. I performed the following steps:
- Unlocked the bootloader in the developer options and by using the command “fastboot oem unlock” on my pc.
- Installed TWRP 3.3.1 for my Phone by using the command “fastboot flash twrp.img”
- Rebooted the system in recovery mode. TWRP was installed and asking for a PW. Decryption didn’t work with the set PIN. I couldn’t find any files (installation file ) in the filesystem after clicking “Install”
- Restarted the phone in “normal mode”. The system was now in factory settings without performing anything like this on purpose. I couldn’t find any files like pictures. I thought: ****, I ****ed up! I made my situation even worse than before…
- Every time I booted the stock ROM, TWRP was gone afterwords. I could only open the stock recovery. For that reason, I installed TWRP a couple of times. When y restarted in recovery mode directly after installing TWRP it stayed.
- Then I removed the PIN in Android without any result. TWRP was still asking for a PW.
- I pressed Wipe and Format Data in TWRP. After that the PW request was gone.
- I installed Magisk V20.4 from my SD-Card by using the install button in TWRP. No error occurred.
- After rebooting, a pop up from TWRP appeared with something like: “corrupt data: you need to perform a factory reset” without any other options. So I did it.
- On the next normal reboot, no android appeared, but only TWRP by asking for a pw again.
- I pressed format data again. TWRP was not asking for the PW again.
- Now I did a backup with TWRP for the first time…
The current state is:
When I press the power button only TWRP starts. I can also use the fastboot mode. But I can not switch off the phone by pressing the power button or using the Power off command in TWRP. It will always restart.
Now my first goal is to restore a many files as I can by using any rooted ROM. Later I would like install the stock ROM again. In the process I would like not to brick my phone which is actually the one of my girlfriend… So please, what can I do?
Many thank for reading everything and for the help
If someone needs the logfile from TWRP, I can send it via PM I guess.
yo...
if your fone is like mine, and you cant take the battery out, you cant power off. you need to have the usb lead out of your machine in order to shut down, and that's in the os, if usb is plugged in, fone will reboot. By pressing power off switch, you only reset, because you are not in the os which has the turn off function. Hope this makes sense
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.
