This' probably not the right place to post this, but since i don't have enough post count to post in the right place please bear with me. I've been trying to flash TWRP on my Redmi 6A and got somewhere but not the happy ending I expected. It is a Redmi 6A running Android 8.1.0 O11019, security patch level 2018-10-01, MIUI 10.0.12.0(OCBMIFH), MODEL M1804C3CG, Kernel V4.9.77+, 16 GB, 2GB ram. I unlocked the bootloader, i flashed twrp.cactus(unoficial) using ADB and what was successfull. But when it came to rebooting into my custom recovery, i couldn't. From bootloader, i pressed vol+, vol- & power buttons, screen goes off, vibrates twices and back to bootloader. I also tried again and this time when screen went off, i released the power button, vibrated once and back to bootloader. I tried releasing all buttons when the screen goes off, and turns on the MI logo, and boots to system but takes a little longer than usual which probably means it tries to boot to TWRP but fails and reboots to system.
I tried using the Redmi 6A toolkit, flashing was successful, but the CATASTROPHE above happens all the same. The devices hasn't been corrupted in anyway by the processes.
I know this is long, and the wrong place but I beg for help. I once rooted an Android K, and man!! it was addicting, so guys please help
i also have experienced the same strange behavoiur first, until I get the trick - from phone off, press exactly Power+VolUp, hold until MILogo appears and release. Now wait, be patient, about 20 secs while screen should be black, then push the power button, TWRP should now appear...
From phone off, power+volDown goes to bootloader.
Be sure to have the latest TWRP 3.2.3.2 - earlier versions have trouble with encrypted data partition.
good luck!
Thanks bro, worked for me

that's because data partition is encrypted. Some people in a MIUI forum claim that login password works - but I had'nt any success. Therefore it remains only to format.
I guess you want to flash some custom rom?
I managed to work around the encryption by flashing magisk, and disable force encryption
got a problem though, i must have unintentionally tempered with the nvram, so imei information was lost
and yes i would want to to flash android pie roms when all my troubles are done
hope you could leave me some links
i'am sorry, i dont know about a pie port for the 6a at the moment, probably in the near future I think because its a very popular phone...
i was trying to flash GSI lineageos 15.1, but ended always in boot loop - altough a guy here was successfull. However, the rom does not have full functionality. So i gave up and will wait for the dedicated version. Rooting with magisk wasnt a problem and so i've been able to install adaway, titanium etc... for the moment its ok for me
thanks bro

Hello,
I'm not the best at flashing and all that, and I'm sure I'm doing something wrong here:
I have the problem like many, there is a 2cm bar over top of the screen where my touch is not responding, sometimes it works, sometimes not. Some say to zap it with a lighter's spark, tried it, didnt manage to do anything; others said custom ROM solves it.
(if you know a fix I'm not aware of, feel free to post).
From the "LineageOS" topic on the Elephone forums it says I need Android 6.0 (tried with 7.0, just to try -> bootloops),
the problem is I cant manage to get 6.0 working on my phone, I flash it with SPFT and when it says its done, my phone doesnt turn on, doesnt charge and does nothing. The only way to get it up and running is to flash stock ROM while holding VOL+ and plugging it in.
What am I doing wrong? Am I misunderstanding the steps? Am I just plain dumb? (probs)
If you need any more info, please ask.
Thanks fellas.
Update:
If I understood corectly you cant downgrade because the bootloader gets also updated to and doesnt allow downgrading if not unlocked, so I went and tried to unlock OEM.
It all works fine and dandy until I get to the "Press Volume UP to unlock or Volume DOWN to cancel" part, when I press UP nothing happens, and when I press DOWN it just cancels.
TWRP is flashed, and is rooted.

Thats wrong, this device comes unlocked by default, which is why you are able to boot twrp.. The reason the device doesnt boot when you try to downgrade is because the preloader is too old, you need to go to the lineage 13 forum and download the preloader tool provided there and flash it, alongside lineage 13 flash it from twrp, it should be android 6, you can still go to android 6 stock rom if you flash stock rom and then the preloader provided in the lineage (the most resent preloader for the 6.0) u should get android 6 stock booting
Thanks for clearing things up, it worked.
Sadly, it didnt fix the touch screen problem, I guess its faulty or something like that, I'll replace it when I've got the funds.
Thanks for the help.
Hello xda family
I got poco f1 for less than a month now, recently got notification of 10.3.7 update which was 1.8G in size, followed instructions and after update was completed and phone was restarted, the phone is in unusable condition, apps don't fully work, update app gives white screen then goes unresponsive, screen doesn't go off and drains super quickly.
I did some research and it doesn't seem to be a global issue, so is there a way to restore functionality on the phone?
I did some research and since update app doesn't work post-update, I can't use it to reinstall rom, so for fast boot restore I found out I have to unlock boot loader which takes 72 hours that I can't use the phone. Is there any way to restore to old firmware, uninstall update, reinstall without unlocking bootloader?
I'm desperate for ideas guys
My WiFi is not working properly after the update. It gets connected but I can't browse anything
Does anyone have same issue

sir what do you mean "unusable condition"
did you buy used Poco ?
anyways! since your BOOT is locked! you cannot use TWRP,
download the recovery rom from https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/beryllium/ , 1.8gb, rename the file to "update.zip" , put it in internal storage "download" folder, goto DOWNLOADER app, call the update from internal storage (right side top, 3 dots) and select "update.zip" file and apply! the device should boot in to MIUI RECOVERY and apply the update.... REBOOT!
if this doesn't help... then
ASSUMING YOU HAVE ALL THE QUALCOM DRIVER INSTALLED!
downlaod MI FLASHER,
download miui10.3.7 FASTBOOT ROM (2.6BG) FROM https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/beryllium/
and boot device in to FASTBOOT (green android bot on screen) ,
extract, and then further extract fastboot rom, until u see folder name "images" , open miflasher, click SELECT and POINT it to IMAGES folder,
connect poco to your pc , click button "FLASH ALL" (only) and hit FLASH (or START), you will see slow progress bar (green) and full rom will be flashed!
FIRST REBOOT WILL TAKE TIME
YOU WILL LOOSE ALL YOUR DATA
inshallah it will be okay now!
call for 72 hour unlock time! if you wana root your poco! but IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHY SHOULD YOU ROOT? then probably you should not unlock your device
best of luck!

try to hard reset your phone. press vol up + power button simultaneously until recovery comes up. then reset
Hello, I bought a used mi9t and knowing that it had a boot problem (this is what the seller wrote in the sale description) and naively believed that I would be repaired easily as I had already done before.
the mi9t starts but freezes after + - 5 sec and reboot and so on, so I do not have time to do a reset, activate develop mode, unlock the bootloader etc ...
I arrived started in recovery and or in fastboot, a wipe data does not change anything, I of course tried to flash via miflash and miflash pro etc ... but as the bootloader is locked, develop mode not active etc ... nothing did not work. I managed to flash once in recovery, assistant mi but it did not change anything although the attempt arrived at 100%, I tried this method again but it does not want to do it anymore.
it is in miu in V11.0.5.0.QFJEUXM so I tried with the following but without result.
Looks like Android isn't complete, I think the person who sold it to me missed the Flash.
there I do not know what to do, I looked everywhere on the net for a solution but found nothing so as a last chance, I post here and elsewhere while crossing my fingers.
thanks in advance
I tried all these rom but without result
and via miflash I have the error anti rollback check error
error sorry
Try china newest rom with fastboot
Hey guys, I've got a very weird problem with my phone which started just after I updated to MIUI 13.. It turns off by itself randomly.
It does it while browsing, texting, etc.. and even when locked. No matter if its charging or on battery. The only situation it doesn't turn off is when playing games, benchmarking or any other heavy task which is very weird as I thought the battery might be on its way out but it doesn't make sense if it works fine with heavy tasks...
The device is 3 months old but recently I replaced the display and the warranty is void now obviously, so I can't use that..
What I tried so far:
- Factory resetting, nothing changed
- Tried with the OEM safe mode, nothing changed
- I downloaded the same update again and flashed it throught the OEM recovery, nothing changed
- I'll try to make a clean install of the ROM when im able to unlock the bootloader which is of course after 7 days
Could it be a hardware issue and.. what it might be? The phone is working absolutely fine besides that random shut off - perfomance is the same, battery life is the same, no freezes ..nothing.
The other issue im experiencing and I've read alot about this is that my touch screen sometimes (rarely) is unresponsive. It just freezes, the phone is alright but I can't press on anything..
If it is software issue, how can I resolve it? Should I clean install the 13.0.4 rom or older?
edit.. i don't think it is actually shutting of but rather the display going black and unresponsive to any buttons as to restart it I must hold the power button more than 10 seconds
And also, I'm new to the forum, sorry if i posted this in the wrong section and excuse my bad english, I'm not a native speaker. Thank you
it's a firmware bug....do clean flash and pray it disappear..do fastboot clean flash

Thank you, I'll try when the bootloader is unlocked.. Meanwhile, I'm really worried about this being a result of the screen replacement? Could that be the issue? The screen works absolutely fine, keeps 90hz refresh rate, no glitches or artifacts.. Should I bring the phone back to the shop where I changed the display?
I confirmed that this is indeed a software bug. After factory reset, I kept the mobile data and wifi off so it can't update the apps and for 2 hours there were no signs of the problem UNTIL i turned the WiFi back on, the setup finished, updated the apps and my phone crashed in 10 mins. No idea which app causes this or why, but atleast its not hardware related. I'll try to reflash the 13.0.4 through OTA again and see if the problem persists.. If so, i wont have phone for the next 7 days because of the bootloader lock.. Thanks Xiaomi

flash with fastboot.. i think it's possible even locked..
Factory default and not restore apk, the problem could be any apk that did not work on miui 13.
Its not possible to flash with fastboot on locked bootloader. I tried several times it just refuses anything. I also couldn't manage to manually sideload OTA rom in recovery and I wouldn't risk it through the updater app because of the crashes..
I left my phone overnight with data turned off and it never crashed again.. I hope this get fixed after the clean flash because I really like MIUI13 and don't want to roll back
Same here. No any response from MIUI yet.
My Weekend is Trash. and my Data broken.
MIUI 13 Lockscreen Crash!
Hello guys, after I got my bootloader unlocked, i tried flashing several ROMs both china and EEA with MiFlash (clean all option) and it still crashes the phone randomly... I don't know what to do anymore. The only time phone can sit turned on without crashing is in fastboot and when booted but plugged in to computer (idk what is this about).. What should I do? I'll try to downgrade to 12.5 EEA stable with Mi Flash but is this clean install or should I do it with twrp?

Fastboot only
Im stuck in bootloop after downgrading to MIUI 12.5 EEA (the version i was on previously before miui13) via fastboot. The phone restarts after the boot logo and no matter which ROM i reflash it doesn't go beyond that.. Any advice? Tried factory resetting after flash but no result
Guys, no matter what I do, i cant bring the phone to life again. It reaches the MI logo, stays there for 10 seconds and screen goes black. I tried flashing EEA, Global, China, many versions all through fastboot. They flash with success, no errors at all but when rebooted it is stuck at the boot logo... Please help! I can still boot to stock recovery/twrp and fastboot. What can I do???
MiFlash log
I just tried the services of the telegram guy who does EDL flash over teamviewer. The flash finished with success but the same problem still persist and not only that, now It goes straight to fastboot without a chance to even boot in recovery...

Thats what I did, it never turned on until yesterday. A miracle happened and the phone booted but after 5 mins it crashed again... Wtf might be the problem with it. The only time it doesn't turn off is when its plugged to a computer with switched on debugging. I can't wrap my mind around it, are there any crash logs that I can read? Logcat doesn't show anything in help
please help me. after miui 13 ota update my phone is restarting every 10 seconds.

did you ever tried install Twrp and a custom ROM ?
Hello,
1 week ago i was using my xiaomi mi 10 , and of all a sudden it crashed.
since then it is stuck in a bootloop.
The phone was stock, bootloader still locked. i tried to restart with the recovery and in safe mode with no luck. I tried to reboot it via fastboot continue and still no luck.
I replaced the battery and the volume and power on buttons (sometimes they cause shortage).
But still the phone can't boot properly.
Now i know the obvious thing to do is a complete wipe, but there is some data on the phone that i would like to save.
I tried installing the chinese version of mi pc suite, but i can't really do much from there, since my phone is updated to the V13.0.6.0.SJBEUXM, last european version. I was hoping that by updating it i could make it work.
I ask you guys if you know anything that can help me, i cannot install any recovery because the bootloader is still locked, and by unlocking it i will lose all data.
Thank you in advance.
