Question Unable to boot, can I recover? - Xiaomi Mi 11i / 11X Pro / Redmi K40 Pro+

Hi!
I tried to install this rom to this device. I put it into fastboot mode, booted twrp from there, copied the rom zip to the root, and installed without problems. Then I wiped Dalvik and tried to restart the phone, only to boot into twrp again (twrp was already installed I think, this version: 3.7.0_12-RedmiK40Pro+_v6.7_A13). The original system I think was the factory 13.03 Android.
Now the folders on the phone seem different in the twrp browser, and I cannot seem to locate the zip file of the rom to reinstall. Internal storage shows size to be 0M. Maybe this was the mistake, but in an attempt to fix things, I changed the Slot to slot B, which was successful, but only booted into fastboot. Then, when I tried switching back to Slot A again, it gave errors for not being able to mount certain partitions, as seen in this image:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I then tried to copy the rom to a pendrive and install it from there, but it showed a similar error. When connecting the device to the computer, it shows up, but I cannot open it in a file explorer. Unfortunately I did not make any backups beforehand. Do you think there is a chance of bringing this device back to life again? It was given to me with instructions, because I'm a "computer person" and I thought it would be an easy process as I have done this my phones many times without problem. What could be the issue? If you need me to include any logs, or photos of the errors, let me know. I'm really worried that I might have bricked this device. Thank you for your help!

[Q] Device ROM/Soft Bricked problem! Help!

I've spent some time researching how to root my phone for quite awhile now because there was almost no guide for my phone to be rooted. I have a Samsung Galaxy Admire 4G (Model SCH-R820) connected to MetroPCS with a 16 GB external SD card inserted. Also it had Android 2.3.6 installed on it. With some hard research I finally found a forum that I followed to root my device.
The forum actually did help to root my phone which I couldn't believe. :laugh: I installed the .apk file with File Explorer and installed Framaroot, then I opened the app and I rooted with SuperSU as instructed in the forum. The whole process was successful and I downloaded a app to determined if my phone was really rooted which later said positive that my phone was rooted. After less than 2 hours of my phone being rooted and having fun with it, I saw thing about custom roms and I liked the ideas of installing a custom rom. I installed a app called "Rom Manger" and it said I needed ClockWorkMod Recovery or ClockWorkMod to be installed to be able to get the custom rom. My device was NOT supported and taped the unsupported device selection and it prompt me to say if I had ClockWorkMod Recovery MANUALLY installed. I didn't know what that mean't and selected "YES" which I would regret later on. I then selected "Backup Current ROM" and it restarted my phone but I don't know where if the backup was place on my internal memory or SD card (I THINK IT DID NOT DO A BACKUP). I went onto my computer to get a custom ROM and tried to install it into my phone using Odin v1.87 when my phone was i guess in "download" mode. (When you hold a few buttons and it prompts you about a warning on installing custom OS).
Just when I saw it fail to install, I realized that I installed the WRONG ROM to my device! (THE CUSTOM ROM WAS FOR A DIFFERENT DEVICE). :crying: When I restarted my phone it was stuck on the Samsung Boot Screen and it would not boot the Android OS and would get stuck on the Boot Screen whenever I would restart my phone. I tried Wiping Cache, Wiping Data/Factory Reset, and Rebooting my device and the same problem would persist. Also the app "Rom Manger" didn't seem to install ClockWorkMod Recovery because I'm only able to do Stock Android System Recovery and "Download" mode to my device.
The thing I think I can do is get a stock ROM for my Samsung Device and reflash it with Odin but whenever I research the ROM for my device I can't seem to find one EVEN on this site. (TRUST ME I DID LONG RESEARCH TO FIND ONE). My brother has the SAME EXACT PHONE and I was hoping if I rooted my bro's phone and do a backup on my bro's ROM with a different app (NOT ROM MANGER) and get the back up on my computer and use it on Odin to reflash MY PHONE'S ROM would it fix my BootLooped/Softed Bricked phone?????OR any ideas on how to get my phone back working OR do I need to buy a new phone if all possible solution fails?
One more thing...I think ClockWorkMod is NOT Safe for my device so if I really need to install it on either phones please tell! :good:
This is how it looks when in download mode (Sorry For The Huge Picture):

I did the same thing. try sending it into metro pcs they told me they would flash the original on there. they wouldn't do it for me though cuz i cancelled my service with them and got t-mobile with a galaxy s3.

LG L9 P760 Softbrick - no way to flash etc.

I have very big problem with my LG L9. Firts, I unlocked bootloader and rooted phone with some kind of method, everything was working great, until I flashed PACman rom. Internal space was decreasing to the moment when it reached 612kb, so I wanted to flash another Rom. And from this moment I have problems.
First of all, I downloaded rom, for example PolishBlood from Original Android Development.
I entered Clockworkmod (6.0.3.1), wiped all data / factory reset, dalvik cache. Did everything like in tutorials. Then, clicked install rom from sd card and pick "choose zip from external sdcard", cause this option was working when I was installing PACman. And here I have problem: E:Can't mount /external_sd/. I read couple of tuts, and best, and I think only option was/ still is guide from this thread: [GUIDE] [UNBRICK][ROOT] FLASH Any LG Factory ROM (kdz) WITH OFFLINE FIX
But here, I have problem too. flashing process stopping at 15%, and telling me that cable/cellphone is disconnected.

I think I have all drivers installed, I'm doing everything step by step like in tutorial, except enter in LG software mode, cause I don't have any rom.
So for now, I can only enter ClockworkMod and S/W Upgrade mode. Please help, cause for now I have Nokia 3120 ;/

Do online kdz flashing using lg mobile support tool. Download it and connect in S/W upgrade mode . It will detect your phone , then upgrade to latest version. Its online method so make sure u remove those two lines from host file which v use for offline flashing. This should work
Thanks a lot. It was simple, why I didnt think about that? Problem solved.

HTC One won't boot, mount, or flash

Good evening everyone. I have a bit of a conundrum and I'm hoping the community can help. A buddy of mine recently gave me his HTC One (M7) to fix. According to him, he attempted to install the latest GPE rom for the phone (his is the Tmobile branded version) and it failed to install. Afterwards it would only bootloop on the HTC logo screen. I took a look at things and here's what I found:
When I first boot the device I see this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I can hold down the volume key on reboot and get into the bootloader. This is the screen:
Initially I couldn't even get into recovery. After a bit of futzing around (and installing the HTC drivers) I was able to use fastboot to push CWM touch 6.0.4.6 onto the device. After that, I was able to fully boot into the CWM environment and navigate around. However, when I try to do basically anything that touches the partitions, the device reboots. I grabbed a screenshot of the mounts and storage page:
The top option which you can't see says mount /system.
Initially I thought I could just copy a ROM.zip over to the device and flash it, however, when I attempt to mount the USB storage, it doesn't do anything. I also noticed two directories that I'd never seen before in CWM, the /firmware/mdm and /firmware/q6. It appears that somewhere along the line my buddy attempted to install a different radio or a rom he was using attempted to. In any case, I can mount up the various folders with no issue except for the two /firmware folders. I just get an error. Any time I attempt to format any of the other folders, the phone simply reboots.
I tried also to install a ROM.zip by sideloading with ADB, but the device isn't recognized by my computer when I do so. I've also attempted to flash TWRP recovery, but any time I try to boot into it, it just bootloops immediately.
I've spent days scouring these forums and google in general to no avail. I'm sure I'm missing something simple or misunderstanding some kind of direction, but at this point I'm so frazzled that I might end up chucking the phone out the window. The end goal here is to just end up with a working, booting phone in any way possible. Once I get it to that point I can handle the rest.
Thanks in advance.

the phone dosnt have an OS on it and its still on hboot 1.44 somehow.... but you can recover it with a otg cable and a flash drive. you cannot mount the One through recovery. but with an otg cable and a flash drive you can place flashable files on the flash drive and flash them through recovery to get the phone in a working state.
Edit:
this should do the trick. CLICK MEH! you will ahve to obtain S-off ofcourse. jsut put a stock ROM on it then use a s-off method then proceed to do GPE conversion.
Thanks for the idea. I've got an OTG cable on the way from Amazon right now, so I'll give it a shot when it gets here and report back.

HDC s5 G900H MTK6592 stuck on boot

Here are the specs of the phone:

"lightbox_close": "Close",

Now, i am stuck in the boot animation, i already tried everything, i have a backup of my ROM (i can share it i anyone needs to see it) and i flash it with SP flash tools (even having the problem of the phone connecting and disconnecting when it is without the battery), and even when i get to flash it and reach the green circle nothing changes, i keep stuck in the boot animation (i have tryed to flash another ROM too (h**p://***.needrom.com/download/hdc-s5-g900h-6592-2g-16g-2014 without any success).
Even creating a personalized CMW recovery hasn't worked, MTK droid tools warns in that case that the recovery doesn't suit the device.
I was able to create one CMW recovery and flash it, but when i try to flash the backup of my ROM always aborts installation, stock recovery also aborts installations every time.
I am running out of options and ideias, anyone has a ideia what can be the problem? can anyone help me please?
P.S. I have made a factory reset through recovery (don't think that's the source of the problem) and problem started when i installed xposed framework apk.
Thanks in advance and regards.

MeLE A200 Internal Storage not mounted

I've MeLE A200 HTPC (single core A10S SoC, FW Android 4.0.4 v1.2b rooted, Board HMC-G41A03WL). Recently after installing a small app, something went wrong, the box Internal Storage changed from 10% full to 0.0B, meaning its not mounted anymore on device reboot. I've no access to previously installed packages, and can't install any new package that requires access to Internal Storage ( Data partition) or root access. I tried soft recovery from Settings and Hard recovery by pressing the device button, but they didn't fix the issue.
I earlier installed CWM ROM Manager, but was unable to find Recovery image for this device. Wanted to re-install original firmware, but official links are dead. Mele Support never answers any emails, and they block registration emails on the company forum, so no way to ask a question on the forum. They posted an updated firmware v1.3 for "A200 upgraded version" device on the forum, but that device hardware has 1GB RAM, and mine only 512MB, and there may be other differences. So I'm not sure, it will boot, and if it doesn't I'll get a brick.
I installed Terminal package, and can access the box partitions from PC using ADB via Wi-Fi, since USB Recovery option is not showing in the device Settings, and Mele provides no USB Windows driver. I can see that Data, Cache, and probably some other partitions are not mounted. I mounted them OK manually, but lost Wi-Fi access after that, probably because the device lost access to Data folder on root it was using instead of Data partition on NAND.
This picture has proper links, since I can't post them here so far:

}
My questions are:
1. Can anyone point to a link to A200/A210 original firmware? I need:
A200_Mele_HTPC_20130117_V1.3.1
A200 Mele_HTPC_ Home _20121220_V1.2
2. What are my chances to get a brick, if I flash the above mentioned v1.3 for "A200 upgraded version" device? Can I unpack & modify that firmware to fit my device - how?
A200升级版_A10_SDK1.6_V1.3_20140715.img
3. If I flash that FW to the device, will it erase original Recovery partition? If Yes, and the device can't boot after flash, could I recover it by pressing Hard Recovery button? Does it mean, Hard Recovery partition is stored separately in NAND, and never erased when a new FW is flashed from SD Card?
4. May be I can change some automount rules via ADB? So far, I found that /etc/vold.fstab has no automount rules for any system partitions, only for SD Card and USB partitions. So what file contains automount rules for Data and Cache?
5. What else can lead to Data not being mounted, what else can I check or do to fix the device? I can post some debug and dmesg logs saved by the system if needed. How I can fully backup or recover the device from full backup in this situation?
Update: the only resolution I found was reinstalling factory firmware procured from Mele upon request.
Does your device have a custom recover? Flash a new rom
