Only "fastboot getvar all" shows it is currently on b slot help me

I suggest you change to Slot_a and then just reboot your phone. If the repair man put stock rom back on the phone it is probably on Slot_a. On my phone (Mi A3 Global) Slot_b is where Twrp or LineageOS recovery is installed.
If you want to install TWRP, stay on Slot-b, go into fastboot mode and type:
Fastboot devices (to confirm fastboot connected)
Fastboot getvar current-slot (to confirm you are on Slot_b)
fastboot erase boot (to erase the current boot/recovery)
Fastboot flash boot twrp.img
fastboot reboot (hold down Power + Vol up button. Release Power button when 'Android One' logo appears).
Phone should boot into Twrp.
Don't use the MI Flash Tool to flash the Stock rom. Do it from Android SDK platform-tools. It worked for me.
Download the stock MIUI firmware fastboot image from: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/laurel/

My phone is breck (bootloop but can access fastboot)

So I tried to change the ROM of my phone because the vendor's one had malware but it was worse, my phone is stuck at boot screen and can't do anything with it.
First I tried to install a ROM with TWRP, it installed but it was just a black screen, you could only see the battery status.
Then I tried to install the global ROM that is on the official xiaomi site but it didn't work and it locked my phone.
Now I can't use TWRP, please help me. I am desperate.
Miflash isn't detecting the phone, but the PC does cause it listed under Android Phone->Android ADB Interface on device manager.

Once you rebooted it into download mode, use this:

My PC is no longer detecting the phone, only detects Qualcomm 9008
Ok, it is working till the miflash step it says "receiving hello packet" in red
You will need to flash a ROM using fastboot.
First install fastboot on your pc: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to...t-setup-75174/
Second Download a flashable Rom: http://en.miui.com/a-234.html (make sure to choose the right one)
Unzip the rom and navigate to the 'images' folder
Put the phone into Fastboot mode (volume down and power button together until fastboot appears)
Connect the phone to pc with USB
Shift Right click on a blank space in the folder and choose 'open command window here'
run the following commands. one at a time
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot

Hello guys, i have a redmi 3s china version, so i try to find global version, i installed all driver and try to use with miflash that:
land_global_images_V7.5.9.0.MALMIDE_20160805.0000.29_6.0_global_470b843c10.tgz
(if i use xiaomiflash i get error) meanwhile with miflash i see device and i flash it but something wrong , i restart the phone i stuck on the logo MI
I try also to download land_global_images_V7.5.4.0.MALMIDE_20160523.0000.23_6.0_global_dc5d804271.tar
seems is the right firmware
So i try again to flash in fastboot mode with miflash but i get error like i have no permission.
So i extract the whole firmware on a dir where there is ADB files , same problem...the device is locked
I try online the procedure with sms to unlock the bootloader ( i think is the only way, right?) or there are any other solution?
Maybe there is a stock rom to replace the original rom and put the global rom in another way?
Thanks in advanced
Bye

After you run 'fastboot devices' is anything listed? Usually a string of numbers. If not then the computer isn't seeing your device.
Try rebooting the computer, and trying different USB leads and ports if possible and try again.
Using this method you don't have to use MiFlash, and is for when MiFlash doesn't work.
Once your phone is working again you can try again to install another ROM using traditional methods.

Hello, i try the steps you give for EDL, after it the screen is not black but i see again the logo MI, i can go on fastboot mode but if i try to flash anykind of rom i get error "FAILED: remote: Critical partition flashing is not allowed)
other solution?
I think the only way is the unlock bootloader, but sincerally i dont know how it work. i did the steps online and the sim is on another device not xiaomi. I will get a sms from xiaomi with some kind of code? and after it how can use for bootloader?
There is another solution? I thinking....but why i cant use the original rom ?? always about the bootloader lock?
___
now i see another post ...use both volume to enter in download mode and on the miflash i saw port com 49, load a rom and start to flash it ...but....another error : The system can not find the file specified (0x80070002: Max buffer sector is 256)

This Morning i received the unlock code. When i use the tool stuck on 50℅

Hi , in your place I will download latest stock firmware for your device and extract , boot.img , system.img , recovery.img and also fastboot.img if you have inside your stock firmware.
Next install minimal adb&fastboot tool :
Download link:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120698566
How to install:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
Example how to flash those files from command line :
First check if your device is recognized on your pc :
write command in adb&fastboot terminal tool :
fastboot devices (you should see some numbers )
Now put those files inside adb folder where you installed adb&fastboot terminal for example :
C:/adb/
Now flash each file :
fastboot flash boot boot.img (and press Enter)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img -||-
fastboot flash system system.img -||-
fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img -||-
now :
fastboot reboot -||-
Now your device will reboot and it will take some time to load for the first time if it doesn't boot to system just put your device again into fastboot mode , open adb&fastboot terminal and write:
fastboot boot boot.img and wait little bit to boot up , if not try :
fastboot boot system.img ...
Before trying other options, I do suggest you to remove and replace the battery when the phone is disconnected from your PC and possibly when it's powered off. Then restart the phone in "Fastboot mode" by pressing VolumeUP+PowerButton keys until the phone vibrates. This helped me a lot and I was not able to find this trick in the dozen of discussions, except one, that I read about this topic.

Stuck in Fastboot mode

Hi, I have a serious problem with my moto G4 Play. I was on Android 7.1.1 but I prefer Android 6.0 so I tried to flash the stock ROM 6.0 of my device. It worked, but few minutes later my phone turned off.
Atm I only have access to fastboot mode but my Bootloader is locked, "USB debug" and "allow OEM unlock" are not activated.
I can do fastboot commands but I can't flash anything because Bootloader is locked, and if I try to use
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
, it says to allow OEM unlock in developer options first.
If I try to restart bootloader, restart recovery or factory reset it brings me back to fastboot mode with the following text :
"Your device didn't start up successfully.
Use the Software Repair Assistant on computer to repair your device.
Connect your device to your computer to get the Software Repair Assistant.
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (Secure)
Fastboot reason : Failed to initialize partition table
CID Read failure
Invalid CID status 0x69
ERROR : No booting image fund. Skip to fastboot

Because of the phone IMEI is : 0000000000000, the Software Repair Assistant stucks in "Processing of the device informations"
Query: Stuck in fastboot mode
Hi there, on the top of your phone / tablet, hold down the power button for at least 30 seconds. Your tablet should force shutdown and restart out of fastboot mode into your android OS. Hope this helps.
Then try to flash latest stock firmware from fastboot ,
like for example
extract from stock firmware :
boot.img
recovery.img
fastboot.img
system.img
now for each one write
fastboot flash boot boot.img press enter
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
etc.
But find stock firmware for your device , don't use lower version because probably you will brick your device , try just with latest one.
Good luck : )

The problem is an icompatibility beetween bootloader and OS because they are not in the same version so I'm stuck in fastboot no matter what I do
