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.
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.
from the last 3-4 days i searched every where in the internet, Also i suspect the phone mother board hard ware problem.
if any experts or if anyone came across the same problem , please give me the solution for this.Any rom is okay, i just want to turn on the phone. please help me.
Thanks in advance,
Prashanth
Hello,
some days ago I noticed that my Poco F1 (with Lineage OS) is draining battery from 60% in the morning to 15% in the afternoon without using it. After unlocking it from lock screen it told me that it would like to stopp some apps from eating up battery. I agreed.
Some time later I grabbed my phone again and now I was not able to log in. The screen stayed black although my mobile was running.
I switched it off with power button and on again but I could not pass the Poco F1 boot screen. Fastboot Mode was possible too. TWRP was somehow gone. I was not able to enter TWRP. So I entered FasBoot and flashed TWRP (same version as before) again. Still not possible to enter TWRP. So I flashed Orange Fox. But it was not possible to enter that too.
So I flashed the phone completely with the automated Xiaomi Poco F1 repairtool back to the original Global ROM. The bootlogo change to a different Poco F1 bootlogo with the android sign on bottom and now the unlock sign was on top but still no chance to pass the bootscreen. Still no TWRP / or other Bootloader. Only Fastboot or Bootlogo.
What else could I try? I have opend it and removed the power cables so that it will not drain my battery cuz I could not switch my Poco off. (
Is it really bricked?

I think the problem is that since I flashed a new global system I do not have USB Debugging enabled. (?)
But there are other problems too:
I can only enter "fastboot" mode. No bootlader (No TWRP/No Orangefox/No Miui Bootloader)
The only screen I get is "Poco F1" Bootlogo.
No errors are reported back. The files seem all to flash fine. But still it won't boot. Just "Poco F1" bootscreen. (Bootloader still open though.)
:sigh:
Thanks anyway.

Hello everybody,
I was trying to remove screen lock pin from my Xiaomi Mi 10, from the scren lock settings menu, the phone asked for the current pin and, after entering it (correctly I assume), the phone gave an error and shut down.
Since the next reboot I've still found the lock screen asking for the pin but no longer accepting the last one.
What happened? How can I fix? I did not change the pin, I was on the screen lock removal menu.
I have unbacked-up data that I absolutely need to recover, the phone comes with stock ROM, it doesn't have usb debugging mode active, bootloader is still locked.
I tried turning the phone on in safe mode but it still asks for the pin, I tried removing the SIM card too.
The phone is linked with my google account but (maybe for a bug?) android device manager can't connect to my phone until it is unlocked (last time seen is before the lock screen problem).
There is no Xiaomi account linked to my phone then I can't find it using Mi Cloud.
I'm able to access to recovery mode or fastboot. I also downloaded Mi Phone Assistant that is able to recognise my phone in download mode but the disclaimer says that updating the phone may result in data loss.
Is there any software I can use to reset the pin code without losing my data?
Thank you!
Hi this is my first time with this site and I have read a lot of people getting help and have their problems resolved via asking. ( please go easy on me for English is not my first language just tell me if you do not understand or if I have some errors so I can clear it at least. Thanks in advance)
So I have a Xaiomi Mi Note 10 Lite and I have this device for about 2 years now. So I was using my phone when suddenly the Camera stopped working - this was a usual issue and my usual fix was to restart the device.
I restarted my device and it got stuck in the bootscreen with the Mi logo - I have pressed/hold the power button multiple times but the it just go blank for about 1-3 seconds then goes back to the Mi with the android logo at the bottom and just stays there.
I can access fastboot but I cannot access Bootmenu for Safeboot/Recoverymode/factory reset, if I try and press the volume up + power button it just goes back to the Mi Boot screen.
I tried using adb to unlock the bootloader but it is giving me an error: Token verifiy Failed Reboot-devices time 00.16s and the phone screen goes blank for about half a second before it goes back to FASTBOOT screen
I tried using MiFlash and it is also getting me an error I presume it is because it is not bootloader unlocked - the error is Error:Failed (remote:Erase is not allowed in lock state).
I also have tried using multiple versions of Mi Unlock - and I get this error.
Please add your account to MIUI settings > developer options > Mi unlock status
or Please enable USB debugging in developer before unlocking.
Once again I cannot access usb debugging for I am stuck in the boot screen and also I cannot go to the Bootmenu.
I have read a lot of discussion with similar issue here and I have tried all of the methods they gave.
Is there any other way I can unlock the bootloader?
or what other fixes I can try. I assume this is a softbrick? I am sorry I don't have any clues when it comes to these type of devices.
I would like to try some other methods before I proceed to a service center, even though I have been trying for this one for about a day now.
Any answers and reply will be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.
