Xiaomi redmi note 4 bricked - need assistance - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, after trying to restore a backup through TWRP my phone is stuck in bootloop, I tried Installing stock rom(Worked once, afterwards I tried another version and no matter what I do it didn't work again, it simply flashes for 1 second, says successful and doesn't really do anything).
Tried to wipe system/data/cache and reinstall the firmware and rom again, and also tried installing a different rom.
What else can I try? It seems like a system files problem, but reinstalling everything doesn't work, which is weird..
Thanks.

Anyone maybe?

Mi Flash

That totally did it! Now it won't even boot!
In an attempt to flash stock firmware with SF Tool I totally formatted the phone with Format + Download and in the middle of the process I got a message that the firmware cannot be flashed because the phone has a secure baseband and an AUTH file is needed, so now the phone has no firmware and won't boot at all.
I tried an AUTH file I found on the Internet, but it doesn't work.
I am now taking the phone to the service center in hopes that they will be able to flash back the stock firmware and revive it.
Send me you Model Number , and try to flash several times latest stock recovery with Format + Download in order to confuse your phone to be able to flash your phone without problem.
Don't panick , that can happen to everyone.
That error is probably because wrong twrp for that version that you want to flash .

Bricked the phone by wiping every partition in TWRP

My Redmi 5 plus won't boot as I messed up everything while trying to flash a couple of ROMs. At first the two ROMs that I flashed were working well. But after some time, whatever ROM I flashed, the phone started to restart while setting up the first boot (choosing language, region, etc.) and no further. So I tried wiping every partition there is under the TWRP wipe section (cache, system, vendor, data, internal storage, and so forth). Then flashed a custom ROM again with and without GApps but no success. I noticed that the phone even started to restart before the first boot finished. Also, after flashing stock ROM, TWRP said no OS installed. I even tried flashing stock MIUI ROM in fastboot mode. Although it went well, still bootloop and the device keeps restarting. However, before all of these problems, I did take a backup of every partition, leaving nothing behind, so I restored everything but again the "No OS installed, are you sure to boot?" message. Now I'm freaking out, not knowing what to do. I read somewhere that flashing via QPST tool may help but I'm having problems with installing it.
If I manage to make my phone work again, I will not flash any other ROM, ever.
Try installing new firmware with recovery, if that doesnt help you can try flashing with EDL mode.
Just open your phone and bridge these points ( on photo ) and connect phone to PC.
It should appear in XiaoMiFlash as COM[number].
Good luck!

Did u have the global or Chinese rom installed?
And which twrp version do u have?

MTK phone refuses to wipe/format/flash anything or even be bricked.

Its my daughters bog standard, cheap chinese MTK6580 phone (uhappy up580 if it matters)
It came with stock 5.0 a few years back so I flashed TWRP, rooted it, ported a CRdroid 5.1 rom for it and was working fine. Yesterday on boot every app refused to start, or stopped, or froze including stock launcher and settings so I couldnt do anything at all. Booted to TWRP and wiped cache and dalvik but although TWRP said completed, it hadnt.
So decided to wipe EVERYTHING including data and again TWRP said it had but upon reboot the faulty rom was still there, not working.
Tried to flash a backup that ended in tar error, fixed that and it flashed the backup fine, rebooted but it hadnt.
Tried to TWRP flash a new rom, said it had but it hadnt,
Used SPFlash tools to flash the stock 5.0 rom, THAT said it completed after the usual time and procedure, rebooted but it hadnt
Used SPFlash tools to completely format and wipe the phone which also said it had completed but it hadnt.
I CANNOT wipe this phone using any method I know of! or install or flash anything! Just this same custom rom that was fine for years and just went wrong. Does ANYONE know how I can somehow wipe this phone or flash a new rom? Tried flashing a TWRP with SP tools AND a TWRP .img and they all said completed but obviously, nothing did.... I've accidently bricked phones easier than I can deliberately wipe this one
Any help greatly appreciated.

Xiaomi Mi 9t wont load any custom rom or restore backup

hey guys just looking for some help. ive been modding and flashing phones from 2014, but its always gone really smoothly, so my diagnostic ability is lacking.
it started with flashing twrp. my bootloader is unlocked, usb debugging on, device is showing in adb and fastboot, and i can flash twrp without any issues. hoowever when i go to boot twrp, only the stock recovery boots. i tried to flash twrp using the XiaoMiTool v2, but the same thing happened. i eventually got around this by just booting twrp instead of trying to flash it. so i got in, took a full back-up and started installing a custom rom.
the first one i tried was ParanoidAndroid Quartz. i wiped cache, dalvik and storage then transferred it to my phone, tried to flash and got "zip verification failed". so i turn off zip verification and tried again. it flashed perfectly with zero errors. however, when i reboot the phone it would only boot to stock recovery and not twrp (expected) or the new rom. i tried that a few times, then tried LineageOS, and MSM Xtended 10. all of them had the same issue, the flashed without a hitch, then wouldnt boot.
i also tried flashing a new fw-vendor and it just straight up failed. Then i decided to cut my losses and restore my twrp backup, and that came back with the error, "extractTarFork() process ended with error: 255"
Software before i began these attempts was completely stock, so i dont know what is going wrong, but as of now, my phone is bricked, i cant install a new rom or restore my back-up.
any help is appreciated guys. thanks
You can figure out this problem with
1 Copy backup folder to computer
2- Format Data - Yes , Wipe Everything
3- Install ROM that you have installed before and boot
4- Go to TWRP, format data yes reboot recovery
5- Paste backup folder to internal storage and restore
