my redmi note 4 mido is bricked and i don't know how, i left my phone for a month because i travelled away and when i came back the phone was stuck on mi logo i tried to fix it by this methods but nothing worked:
-i tried to flash stock firmware via mi flash tool and it failed so many times (i used an old version which stated that the installation succeed but the phone was still stuck in bootloop)
- i tried edl version and it didn't work
- i tried to install via adb and it didn't work also
- i tried to open recovery (volume + and power) it got me to twrp 3.2.3.0 but it's alway stuck on twrp logo and nothing happens
it only happened 2 times when twrp worked and asked me for decryption password, i wrote my phone pin but said wrong password (tried also password and default_password) then i bypassed the password section and got into twrp but i couldn't mount or format storage (it appears that internal storage and sd card is 0 gb) i tried to format it fails,
tried also to change storage to ext2 it got stuck and i couldn't open the twrp again.
any stock firmware flashed on my mido doesn't work and it still stuck on mi logo ( no android loading logo), and it still has twrp
(i tried to flash another twrp or orangefox it just doesn't flash even if it's successful flash on adb)
i tried also to boot the recovery image it also get stuck on the logo and doesn't open the recovery
please help me to know what the hell is wrong with this phone and how i can fix it
help pleassseeeeeeee
Install magisk if you are stuck in boot loop it fixes the problem otherwise download a recovery rom and change your twrp version to 3.1.0.0 because the decryption password in the new versions of twrp doesn't seem to work on rn4. Now wipe system,vendor,data. import recovery rom from your computer and install it. It will install the rom then flash Magisk otherwise your phone will be stuck in bootloop. Wait for a while and bam your system is back!
i can't install anything or even boot into twrp 3.1.0.0 even if i tried
Can you boot into fastboot atleast? If yes then type fastboot reboot recovery and as you said you have twrp installed then it surely means that your bootloader is unlocked. Do you know the name of your custom rom or are you using stock rom? If yes whichever rom you are using just download the recovery rom of that and extract the boot.img in your adb and fastboot folder and flash it via fastboot by typing fastboot flash boot boot.img . And also when booting in twrp which buttons are you using? This happened to me when I myself bricked my device. I thought I can't boot in twrp but the point was I was using volume up+ power but the actual key to boot to twrp is volume up+volume down+power key

I think flashing the stock rom should be the last step before which everything possible should be tried

Yes, Flashing Stock ROM should be the last step before he tries to fix. But mostly if the smartphone is bootlooped or bricked there is no other step besides Erase All Data / Format Data or Flashing Stock ROM.

You can flash orignal boot.img which most times fixes the problem and if it didnt work flash system.img it almost always works and the last option is flashing magisk. Then only i will recommend to flash stock rom.

the rom i was using before the phone got bricked is crdroid 10, i downloaded it again as you said and tried to flash boot img then i rebooted into recovery but i got stuck at twrp logo as usual and even if twrp worked it will as for a password i tried all pins i have used on my phone and tried default_password didn't work either, i can't even mount data or storage or anything and it shows everything with 0mb storage (external or internal storage).
i can't even format data to remove encryption it just freezes whenever i do that

i tried that before it's always shows me ( mi flash tool could not find a part of the path) error, there's a one time i tried an older version of mi flash tool and the flash succeeded but when phone rebooted it stayed at the bootloop
i checked the recovery and sadly it was still the same twrp recovery
i don't really know if my phone can be fixed or this an emmc problem
So it means you have your stock rom right? Extract boot.img and flash it with
fastboot flash boot boot.img
make sure to put it in adb folder
You can find boot.img in images folder
If it does not work get the system.img and flash it with
fastboot flash system system.img
i flash the whole stock rom via fastboot (adb) and it also didn't work.
sorry if this seems disappointing
Try orangefox recovery then, not sure why is this happening to you
If still not working type
fastboot oem edl
Then flash via mi flash it should work as far as I know. If not then go to mi service centre it's the last thing you can do

Hi,
My phone : Redme Note 4 Global Edition 3/32 unlocked and rom developper.
My problem : I wanted to put TWRP and I did a MEGA bull****.
To install TWRP I did:
Fastboot flash boot recovery.img
instead of :
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
My phone starts systematically on TWRP... (It boots no more normally)
I have shot tempted one:
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
With the boot.img retrieved from the MIUI 9 archive 7.8.10 (mido_global_images_7.8.10_20170810.0000.00_7.0_global_239182c21e.tgz)
Now the phone shows me the logo miui indefinitely.
I still have access to Fastboot
Is it necessary to try with the boot.img of version MIUI 9 7.8.18 (installed version)? Can someone provide it to me?
If not, can anyone help me restore the boot without losing any facilities made?
Thank you in advance.
Regards
Hi,
Well I finally made a MiFlash with the option "flash_all_except_storage.bat" on the same flashboot ROM that was previously installed in my phone before my error. (MIUI 9 7.8.18).
The phone is OK.
I did not clean it : I hope it will not bug.
Regards.
When you've flashed TWRP when MIUI is installed you need to install lazyflasher with recovery. Without it MIUI will not boot with TWRP
Sent from my Redmi Note 4 using Tapatalk
I re-unlocked my device a few days ago after a long time of using MIUI. Unfortunately, I am now facing a peculiar problem I had not faced the previous time I unlocked my device.
I cannot seem to replace MIUI stock recovery with official TWRP.
If I use fastboot flash recovery xxx.img, the terminal does confirm that the action was successful. Yet, when I reboot into recovery, I am greeted by Mi-Recovery 3.0 instead of TWRP.
My initial thought was that maybe there was some restriction in MIUI that prevented the stock recovery from being replaced, so I flashed RR 5.8.5-FINAL. I still cannot flash TWRP.
Some other info:
The MIUI build I was on: MIUI 9 7.9.21 Global Beta
My phone: RN3 SD 2GB/16GB variant, Fpc fingerprint sensor
The temporary workaround I used to flash RR was directly booting into TWRP using fastbooot boot xxx.img
NOTE: I did a standard wipe (factory reset, followed by wiping System, Data and Cache) when I flashed RR.
As you might imagine, using fastboot to boot into TWRP every time I want to flash something is quite tiring and so if anyone can help me to permanently flash TWRP, I'd be really grateful. Thanks in advance.
PS: If this question has already been answered, then please guide me to the relevant thread and I will take down this one.
This problem also happened to my friend's Redmi Note 3 MTK. I don't know if it's going to work on KENZO or not.
The solution is to flash the TWRP recovery image through fastboot ==> Turn off the device by holding down the power button (DISCONNECT PHONE FROM PC) ==> Boot the recovery using button combinations
This should let you boot into TWRP and stays permanent after the first session
Flashing Through Fastboot/EDL Mode
Flashing Twrp through Fastboot is the permanent way of flashing the recovery...The method is very simple and can be done even on locked bootloader but the thing in locked bootloader is that once you have flashed the TWRP the internal storage is inaccessible because the data is encrypted so you need to wipe->format data ...then press "yes" ..by typing yes the internal storage will be formatted completely so make sure you have a backup ...and do copy the ROM file in SD card for flashing ...after wiping process press install then select SD card and flash the ROM and gapps and enjoy the TWRP...
Refer this link for flashing process youtu.be/rCONN1_IPuU(please add https:// before the link)
Hope this solves your problem...
same problem !! did you find any solution !!!

If you are on a miui ROM, then you need to flash lazyflasher, or miui will not boot with TWRP.

If you can do it with fastboot, then would be great - but I wouldn't know how to use fastboot to do that.
Alternatively, you can copy it to a USB drive, connect the USB drive to your phone with an OTG compatible cable, boot into TWRP, mount the USB/OTG drive, and flash it from that drive.

Get a custom recovery to wipe all partitions out. There might be an easy way out but you'd want to prefer a clean flash after this. And did you use EDL before unlocking?

hmm without unlocked bootloader I can't flash a custom recovery and there is no option to flash a custom recovery using another method(so I used EDL method),
and no I didn't use EDL before unlocking,
I used EDL because I there was no way to flash ROM on my phone!
THANKS, BRO!
SOMEONE RESPONDED!:good:

That is quite a bad state that you have gotten yourself into. If you can reboot into bootloader, you can wipe every partition and flash a fastboot image of MIUI ROM to get it back to work. Remember to be specific about IMG files as they can make/break your system. You have a soft brick now but selecting a wrong IMG file can result a hard brick.
Any Updates ?

First you need to unlock your bootloader which almost take 3 to 4 days generally but in my case it take about 10 days to get permission from MI after which I am able to unlock my bootloader after that you have to download ADB and fastboot at your PC then you have to use it to change your stock recovery to custom recovery and once you successfully changed your stock recovery to custom recovery the only thing you need to do is to flash a magisk root file which would be in zip format through your custom recovery then after flashing the root file put your phone into recovery mode and then flash lazyflasher zip file as in my case I come to know that MI UI doesn't support custom recovery because of which you need to flash lazy flasher.
Note after flashing the custom recovery do not boot your phone into system mode rather than boot it to the recovery again or you can simply wipe Dalvik and cache and then flash the lazyflasher otherwise it will stuck while booting which happens in my case also I suggest you to wipe Dalvik and cache partitions after flashing any zip through your custom recovery
Note- I am not an expert this is what I had experienced while experimenting with my redmi Note 4 so don't blame me if anything goes wrong you can browse YouTube for many such tutorials. Hope it will help you
You must try few times. I tryied 3 times, success First and second time booting mi-recovery, not twrp so i tryied flash once again. Also miui 10.
Since you didnt provide much information. If you have unlocked Bootloader (ignore this)
If you have to unlock the Bootloader, check this topic:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/how-to/bootloader-unlock-variants-to-read-t3565459
It will take a maximum of 3 days if you read and do needful properly, in case it does not works, Redmi sends a message to wait for specific hours wait additional 1 hour in case required and try again.
After all Bootloader thing, follow this simple steps,
