XIAOMI 8 LITE only starts in FASTBOOT mode...why? - Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers

Hi,
mi XIAOMI 8 Lite today chrashed and when restarted was in FASTBOOT mode...
after several atempts finnally i could take him out from that mode,
but know everytime he restarts is always in FASTBOOT mode...why?
Even if i press the shutdown/restart button, usually i got the message
if i want to reboot, or shutdown etc. etc.,
now i dont get nothing...he simply shuts down and restarts in FASTBOOT mode...
why?
What can i do?
I already did a backup. Should i reset the device? Factory reset?
if so, will the backup i did today will work?
Or should i wait for an update?
Its running
MUIU Global 12.0.3 Stable with ANDROID version 10 QKQ1
Thanks.

Bootloop after xiaomi.eu latest stable upgrade

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

Redmi 3 Pro stuck/bootloop hopeless

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.

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.

rare brick issue

I'm currently having issue with my phone, Redmi Note 3 Pro Kenzo(snapdragon 650) charged my phone overnight after completely drained it and the next morning i realized that it's on boot loop.
I tried dozens of method since the past 72 hours, none of them works. My phone run on stock miui 8 rom, didn't turn on the dev mode/debugging so basically just a pure stock out of the box phone with 0 tweaks.
It loops without the android logo below it. Just the MI logo in the middle of the screen and it reboot every 10-15 seconds or so.
I am able to run on fastboot mode (volume down+power on button) then i hook it up to my computer, used a patch to boot it on EDL mode and flash the stock fastboot rom using MiFlash and it states that i have successfully flash the rom on the phone. But when i turn it on, it loops on the MI logo again..
Tried dozens of method, flashed the emmc file and etc but none of them works.
Even mod on xiaomi forum gave up on me and ended up saying that i've roasted my logic board lol
But I read a thread on someone who had the same problem with mine but he have unlock his bootloader and get his phone back to life by flashing the twrp recovery.
When i try to hook up my phone with command prompt, running on fastboot mode it detects my phone when use the "fastboot devices" but when i use the "adb" command it stated that my computer didn't detect my device.
any thoughts?
rlly need some help here guys :/

HI All,
My device redmi Note 4 got struck in MI logo,It is not Turning on, it is giving vibrations everytime but phone is not booting up.
1)Problem is phone bootloader is locked, i can't unlock the phone now because mi account is not added in the settings.
2) i Tried flashing the various miui fastboot stable roms with mi flash software in PC, via testing points edl mode,flashing is successful but still the phone in not turning on.
3) even i can't enter into recovery mode by Volume UP+Power key ..meaning no recovery is present in the phone. one good thing is fastboot mode is working.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Hello, try a factory reset first and see if your phone keeps rebooting without reason. If you got the same problem go flash again your firmware using mi flash tool. You can find the firmware here : https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/platina/
