Hi there,
i really need some help.
Got my hands on a xperia x compact today and it already was on latest stock.
So i unlocked it and flashed LineageOS 19.1
Everything was okay but i had some issues and decided to wipe and start over with lineage 18.1.
After 18.1 bootlooping, it automatically booted into TWRP and from there it hang on splash screen forever.
Also after a reset, it wouldn´t boot into TWRP.
So i tried erasing userdata and cache via fastboot...
After that, TWRP loaded up again but now it had the famous can´t mount data, cache, issue.
So i ended up with a device, that won´t format data, won´t boot any rom (automatically enters recovery mode).
I decided to flash stock via EMMA and accidentally flashed the oldest firmware from the list!
Why is it even on top???
I just noticed it booting up fine and all, but TWRP won´t recognize touch inputs (touch works in stock 7.0 though)
I guess it´s because of the old firmware i just flashed.
So i picked the latest version from the list but unfortunately it seems like it´s still on old android 7 firmware instead of oreo!
The version i flashed is 34.4.A.2.118 which corresponds to oreo, but it seems like something went totally wrong here.
It´s still on the old firmware somehow...
I´m not a noobie flashing phones and stuff but this really is 100% confusing and driving me crazy right now
I actually managed to get 34.3.A.0.252 flashed now, which is slightly newer but still 34.4.A.2.118 won´t upgrade...
Any help is very appreciated
Thank you very much

Hi!
I recently installed lineageOS 14 over stock 6.0, since everyone praised it. However, it randomly rebooted in my pocket during the day hourly, so I decided to go back to stock.
But it neither boots with stock based rom, nor on a freshly installed stock with flashtool. It stucks at the bootanimation for hours, and doesn't reboot like it does in similar situations.
What the hell is that, could anyone help me?
(Btw my Z1C has the same problem)
I also installed Lineage OS, but after having a problems with keyboard i revert to stock with flash tool ver 0.9.18.6. I accidentally installed 5.1.1 uk version then after reboot i download new 6.0.1 ver and installed it over. Phone is working ok, no reboots. Maybe you should try to install again stock rom or change the flash tool version
Wipe APPS_LOG and USERDATA is mandatory when rolling back to previous Android versions, maybe you have missed that part?

Last time I think it did work without wiping userdata, so I didn't check those to wipe, however, to make sure I did a factory reset before from recovery. But I guess apps_log is not erased with a factory reset?
Anyway, thank you very much, I will try again this way.
Ps. It might be the cause that it still didn't boot when I tried a different rom with flashtool.
Update: Thank you, that did the trick, successfully booted!
My Redmi 5 plus won't boot as I messed up everything while trying to flash a couple of ROMs. At first the two ROMs that I flashed were working well. But after some time, whatever ROM I flashed, the phone started to restart while setting up the first boot (choosing language, region, etc.) and no further. So I tried wiping every partition there is under the TWRP wipe section (cache, system, vendor, data, internal storage, and so forth). Then flashed a custom ROM again with and without GApps but no success. I noticed that the phone even started to restart before the first boot finished. Also, after flashing stock ROM, TWRP said no OS installed. I even tried flashing stock MIUI ROM in fastboot mode. Although it went well, still bootloop and the device keeps restarting. However, before all of these problems, I did take a backup of every partition, leaving nothing behind, so I restored everything but again the "No OS installed, are you sure to boot?" message. Now I'm freaking out, not knowing what to do. I read somewhere that flashing via QPST tool may help but I'm having problems with installing it.
If I manage to make my phone work again, I will not flash any other ROM, ever.
Try installing new firmware with recovery, if that doesnt help you can try flashing with EDL mode.
Just open your phone and bridge these points ( on photo ) and connect phone to PC.
It should appear in XiaoMiFlash as COM[number].
Good luck!

Did u have the global or Chinese rom installed?
And which twrp version do u have?
Its my daughters bog standard, cheap chinese MTK6580 phone (uhappy up580 if it matters)
It came with stock 5.0 a few years back so I flashed TWRP, rooted it, ported a CRdroid 5.1 rom for it and was working fine. Yesterday on boot every app refused to start, or stopped, or froze including stock launcher and settings so I couldnt do anything at all. Booted to TWRP and wiped cache and dalvik but although TWRP said completed, it hadnt.
So decided to wipe EVERYTHING including data and again TWRP said it had but upon reboot the faulty rom was still there, not working.
Tried to flash a backup that ended in tar error, fixed that and it flashed the backup fine, rebooted but it hadnt.
Tried to TWRP flash a new rom, said it had but it hadnt,
Used SPFlash tools to flash the stock 5.0 rom, THAT said it completed after the usual time and procedure, rebooted but it hadnt
Used SPFlash tools to completely format and wipe the phone which also said it had completed but it hadnt.
I CANNOT wipe this phone using any method I know of! or install or flash anything! Just this same custom rom that was fine for years and just went wrong. Does ANYONE know how I can somehow wipe this phone or flash a new rom? Tried flashing a TWRP with SP tools AND a TWRP .img and they all said completed but obviously, nothing did.... I've accidently bricked phones easier than I can deliberately wipe this one
Any help greatly appreciated.

Today i wanted to upgrade from Nitrogen OS android 9 to PixelExperience android 10 and it didn't work at all...
At first i wiped:
Dalivik / ART Cache
cache
system
Data
And now I just don't know what to do, because after flashing PixelExperience, I got the message: "No OS installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?".
After that I flashed disable force encryption and rebooted anyway just to see the fastboot screen.
Then i wiped everything again and tried flashing my old ROM without any success (error 7) after that message,
I wiped everything once more and flashed vendor-firmware (it was an old version the name of the file is: "fw_beryllium_miui_POCOF1Global_V10.3.7.0.PEJMIX")
and it still didn't work...
Now I searched online for any solutions and just downloaded a new firmware (filename: beryllium-9.4.1-9.0-vendor-firmware.zip) flashed it,
and after trying to install any of the above mentioned ROM's i got the same results.
I'm kind of desperate right now and don't know what to do. I though that i could maybe format my phone,
I saved all my important files on my PC so that isn't really a problem.
Please help me! (Please let me know if you need to know more info, I hope I didn't forget anything)

I found a old backup, that i made in twrp and after loading that, i was able to flash stuff again, sorry if i inconvenienced anyone
Same happened with me when i flashed PE 10 from PE 9 PIE..
So i flashed Letest Miui 11 (pie) via fastboot then
Installed PE 10 via twrp..
so this is the fix.
HD1910 model, I had a working rom and tried various custom kernels to help battery life but decided to change to a rom that I can update via the phone rather than manual fastboot flash.
Chose Carbon rom, went back to latest stock with MSMtool, unlocked bootloader and seemed ok, but got a bootloop.
Thought something was wrong so used MSMtool again and tried various small differences i.e running fastboot -w before I flashed rom, before and after and either got a constant bootloop or a strange occurance where after it bootlooped a few times it went back to a factory reset stock rom.
I attempted to do a slower wipe i.e erase system, boot etc one by one but it said error (I used bootloader fastboot which I can't remember is different) I tried TWRP 3.4.0.2 and 3.4.01
I get FDE error, system_mount and vendor so what is the issue?
I even tried Lineage and same issue, just constant boot logo loops.
I would prefer a custom rom not stock
Is having a custom kernel affecting the install?
"went back to latest stock with MSMtool, unlocked bootloader and seemed ok, but got a bootloop."
This is the only thing that matters, as MSMTool completely resets the phone, if a problem happens after it's not related on what you did before.
My guess, maybe wrong MSMtool?
Or maybe you flashed the room incorrectly?
And what error you did get when you ran fastboot -w?
Pretty much sorted now, I wiped with fastbootd, then installed via a payloaddumper rather than in TWRP, I worked out what was causing bootloop was opengapps, once I used a older version (of the same android 10, pico arm64 etc) it installed and booted.
Only issue now is ctsprofile is false, but at least phone all works.
