USB debugging is gone - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers

Hi,
I have an issue with my phone which I've had for a while now, and I'd like to fix it because it's a bit annoying.
A few weeks ago, I attempted to flash TWRP and Magisk on my device. Everything went fine, I get into fastboot, boot in TWRP...
Then, my phone rebooted, PIN code screen into password screen, and any interaction between my phone and my computer became impossible. No file transfer, nothing, and no contextual menu when you plug your phone in.
I tried again today out of curiosity when I saw the Xiaomi Mod Tool that recently came out, and I was surprisingly able to enter into file transfer mode, then into debugging mode, which allowed the tool to recognize my device. I thought to myself "hey that's pretty cool"... Until I tried to install TWRP once again, since it hadn't been installed last time. Again, reboot in fastboot, then instant normal reboot, PIN code, password, and absolutely no interaction.
Has anybody had this issue before ? And if somebody knows how to fix this issue, would they kindly guide me ?
Regards.

Zte nubia z5

HI
I have unfortunately flashed a rom from another phone (ZTE NUBIA Z5 mini), now my screen is black, but I can hear that the phone is working; sound when turn on/off phone and sound when I adjust sound level. I have tried to use fastboot mode, but phone will not boot into fastboot, only into ADB mode where my device are listed. Due to my “ROM” fault, USB debugging mode is not turned on, so many of the tools I have tried does not work. Is the phone totally bricked or is there some possibilities that I can try?? Help will be much appreciated.
ROM is root, when I did a test with ONECLICK root, tools tells me that phone is root, so something are working just not my screen.
PS I cant remove battery, it is built into the phone
Basmand
UPDATE: HELP PLEASE
By a luck I was able to install a new ROM "ZTE-nubia-Z5-cm-10.2-20140115-" but be course I didn't have any picture on the screen I may have touch the phone, because the rom is booting up, but don't work probably due to uncompleted install. Now I have picture on the screen, I can go to recovery and bootloader mode, but still no picture on the screen in these 2 modes. I can use adb but not fastboot maybe driver issue, I have tried nearly every driver on the internet including SDK manager tool.
So is there any change that I can flash via adb mode?

bricked lg k8 (lg-k350n) - is there a way to get to fastboot to flash anything?

I was trying to flash lg-k350n with LineageOs and make a whole bunch of idiotic deeds, so currently I'm felling like dying is the best option for me.
1. I've used this tutorial: .getdroidtips.com/install-custom-rom-using-twrp-recovery. It clearly says that this ROM is for Android 8.0 Oreo, while mine is Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Nevertheless I've downloaded ROM lineage-15.0-20170913-Unofficial-MT6735-64-bit.zip. For some reason TWRP mentioned here getdroidtips.com/lineage-os-15-lg-k8-8-0-oreo/ did not wok for me but I've googled a bit and found something called TWRP-recovery-for-LG-K8.img which worked (not by fastboot flash TWRP-recovery-for-LG-K8.img since this TWRP appeared to be to big but simply by fastboot boot TWRP-recovery-for-LG-K8.img).
So I just did:i
turn on debugger
turn off oem lock
adb boot bootloader
fastboot boot TWRP-recovery-for-LG-K8.img
Feeling happy that TWRP loaded nicely I had not done any backjup and just wiped system as suggested here: lineageos.org/devices/h990/install. Then I've tried to installl the Android 8..0. ROM with obviously did not work. And I've got left with a TWRP working and then I've put the last needle in my coffin - I've rebooted hoping that some hard reset or recovery will fix things for me.
So now I have a phone which I'm able to put to recovery, but it does not recover anything. The phone just go dead after such a recovery.
I cannot put it into fastboot mode, if I could, I would just run 'fastboot boot TWRP-recovery-for-LG-K8.img' and at least had a chance to google a bit for maybe a vanilla ROM or anything working, which I could've later installer.
I've seen that there is a way to put the phone into download mode when it will download stuff from S/W "LG Bridge", bu I don't have Windows and haven't yet tried in virtualbox.
Is there any way to unbrick the device? Please help an idiot!
Sorry, you have to find a Windows box I'm afraid, LG is only offering Windows software for flashing. But chances are quite good that you are able to revive the telephone that way. I have bricked my phone as well but was able to unbrick it this way:
Go to www.lg.com, choose your language, select download, software and firmware.
Select smartphone, Android smartphones, K-series and your model number. This is only to come to the download site of LG Bridge, I guess it's not really important to choose the precise model!
Download LG Bridge, install and start it.
Let it update itself and the USB drivers and keep the software running.
Switch off the phone, press Volume up and keep holding that button.
Connect the phone with via USB with the PC while still pressing Volume Up. The phone should be recognized by the PC (install USB driver) and by LG Bridge (watch the status line to the left, it should show the phone type and USB)
The phone should automatically switch on and show a download screen (yippee!)
Select the second tab "software update" and then click on "correct update error" in the lower right. It should automatically download the correct firmware from the internet, so this is rather fool proof!
Click through it and this should start the flashing process, at the end the phone will automatically reboot, ask for the PIN, etc.
Unbricked!!!
Above instruction worked for me on a completely demolished phone. Lineage OS, changed FS, root attempted, I almost though that's it, but no, it recovered, thumbs up.
I haven't tried in Virtual Box, so I cannot tell if this is working. But you've got nothing to loose, right, so why not try it?

your phone cannot be trusted loooooop, cannot goto download and fastboot mode...
If you don't manage to enter download mode you have probably indeed bricked the phone. If what I've written above doesn't work for you I know of no other way to resurrect it, sorry.
This is because you cannot burn TWRP to the Flash plus there's no tool available to bootstrap an LG phone with a completely naked or corrupted Flash. There must be something like that, because a freshly manufactured phone has by definition a naked Flash.
With Samsung phones you have Odin and with it it is possible to burn a software to a completely dead phone. So it is almost impossible to hard brick it. With LG unfortunately it is different. Plus this phone is somehow crippled, it has only a very, very limited amount of Flash. So I would recommend to not care for this phone anymore, it's not worth it, and instead get a current one with a decent amount of memory.

helpppp ...The System has been destroyed

i managed to delete twrp and when i did then it shows that the system has been destroyed and after restart it is stuck on
fastboot windows. i tried to connect it with my pc so i could install flash rom but it doesnt show up on pc after connecting to usb.
i dont understand what to do next... helppppppppppppppppppppppppp
I have been in this situation before but I'm not sure how exactly i got into it but I was also doing something to do with twrp. Anyway, whenever you encounter such a problem you need to provide as much information as you possibly can to help us help you. This way people are able to narrow down to what causes a particular problem. One question I have is how did you "delete" twrp?
Now for how I got out of that "system has been destroyed" problem. First off, I had already successfully unlocked my bootloader (don't know if you had). Also, the adb drivers were properly installed on my pc. What I did (at the "system has been destroyed" screen) was to let it sit there while connected to the charger for what seemed to be around 10 minutes and kept doing what I was doing and out of the corner of my eye I saw it rebooting and unexpectedly it went into fastboot. I connected it to my pc and it showed up in device manager and "fastboot devices" command detected it. I proceeded to successfully flash recovery with fastboot and then used "fastboot boot recovery.img (or whatever you have renamed your recovery to)" command. It went into recovery mode after which I copied rom via mtp and flashed it and it agreed to boot into system after the flashing was successful.
These may not be the exact steps I took but as close to them as I can recall (because I was bewildered at the thought that my phone was dead). I think the key turning point was to let it sit at the "system has been destroyed" screen for a while.

Have you ever had your phone detected by your pc in fastboot mode? And if you connect it to the pc, does the computer play the hardware detected sound?
You need to rule out a driver issue. I'm not the only other person to get the "system has been destroyed" message and people usually get out of it. I don't know why yours is so problematic.
Had you successfully unlocked bootloader?
The Good old "System has been destroyed" Message. Well, This is terrible This should not happen in the first place. I assume it happened Because you wiped data and then deleted twrp. But If you want help you have to specify how exactly did you " Delete TWRP" What steps did you follow to Delete it. None the less the best bet on getting your device back would be to go to the nearest service center. Pretend you did nothing and maybe they will say you got a bad update.

Phone on bootloop - can only access fastboot&rescue mode

Hi everyone! So, I have an Huawei Mate 10 lite that suddenly stopped working. It isn't rooted and its bootloader is locked. It was working fine up until that point and then it turned off starting a bootloop that is still going on after a long a time.
Since going into fastboot&rescue is the only shortcut key that seems to be working, I tried doing what it said "Please connect USB cable to your computer and open Hisuite". However, HiSuite says that is cannot support system recovery in my phone which is simply hilarious...
I tried putting and update.app file on a dload folder in the root of the sd card after seeing some people suggesting that - but I can't access the upgrade mode (volume up and down + power does absolutely nothing). Also, since Huawei decided they should just turn their backs on this phone, all download links to the update roms are down and I had to download it from a Russian website - perhaps it not being the correct version is the problem with me not being able to go into upgrade mode, but I honestly have no idea how to even get another version.
I tried flashing through adb but since the bootloader is locked, it gives me a "command not allowed" message.
Going into recovery is impossible, it goes into bootloop also, just like upgrade mode.
I'm getting quite desperate since nothing seems to be working... Please, if you have any suggestions, HELP! I'll be throwing this damn thing against a wall if I'm not able to fix it soon

Android stuck in a boot loop after attempted root

Hi there! I'm hoping someone on XDA Developers can help me sort out a root gone-wrong.
I did my best to follow the guide on XDA. I have an Umidigi A9 Pro with 6gb ram. I was successfully able to get the android tools on PC and was able to unlock the bootloader. I went to the Umidigi website to get the ROM. I think I *might* have grabbed the wrong one. Once I got this zip from the Umidigi website, I unzipped the folder and copied the boot.img that was in that root folder to the device. I then went into Magisk and patched the img. I then copied the patched img to my PC then use the commands on the XDA guide to flash the image to the device, the flash was successful (I think). However the device is now stuck in a boot loop. The device displays the Umidigi OEM logo and the android logo; underneath it says in small text:
Orange State
Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted
Your device will boot in 5 seconds
after 5 seconds the screen goes black and then comes back with the same screen. This happens continuously. I have tried holding the volume down, the power button, and several combinations of volume up, down, and power. Holding all buttons down makes the screen stay black, however while plugged into the PC the PC still makes the device connected and disconnected sounds off and on. Whenever I release the buttons, it goes right back to the loop. Windows PC plays the device connected and disconnected sound on and off. The command prompt is not able to affect the device. When I run "adb devices" it doesn't display the phone so it doesn't seem that windows is detecting the device.

I'm hoping for some help on this one
Thank you!
It should be obvious that when being in a bootloop ADB cannot function: On Android side the ADB daemon gets started and after seconds closed, and this over and over again.
In the simplest explanation, a bootloop describes when your phone is stuck in a loop of rebooting. The term "bootloop" is just a more common way of saying "reboot loop."
Curious if you ever managed to get this figured out? I'm in essentially the same situation, though I was not attempting to flash a ROM. I successfully managed to get TWRP 3.5.2 installed and then I was trying to get Magisk installed.
My phone data was wiped, which honestly I didn't care about, however I must have done something wrong with the Magisk installation as now I have the rebooting issue.
I'm able to use ADB and have been trying to push a ROM to the sdcard folder of the internal storage. ADB says the file has successfully completed, but nothing is on the phone. I fixed the issue of the storage showing up as 0MB by changing from EX4 to EX2 and then changed it back to 4.
Really unsure of how to flash a ROM if I can't get the file to pushed to the phones internal memory though.

I honestly haven't messed with it since. It was a very cheap extra android phone I had laying around. Once it got messed up I pretty much just put it in a drawer and said "maybe another day"
