Recovery and fastboot mode problem

My Mi 5 was working just fine (and it is, right now), I've flashed RR for a few months, today I wanted to update it by flashing the latest zip but suddenly touchscreen does not work on twrp recovery (it was fine before. nothing particular happend before)! I let the screen to turn off (on twrp) and then turned it on so it might be fixed but it didn't. So I tried to flash the leatest twrp (it was 3.0.2.0) using adb but my phone turns off after a few seconds on fastboot mode! any idea?
SOLVED, USING OFFICIAL TWRP APP.

Just try flashing it with quick..prepare typing "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" first then get your phone into fastboot mode, connect then enter..
Alternative way is..if your bootloader still at unlocked state..you can try boot into edl mode by command "fastboot oem edl" the flash miui fastboot rom to revert back to the original state again first..then see if fastboot issue stikk there..if not you can continue repeat the step to unlocking BL again (if the boooader already relocked after flashing) if not..just try reboot into fastboot then flash twrp again.

Sorry I haven't been on the site after using TWRP through ADB and taking care of my needs that way. What doesn't work is the same thing that didn't work for me with any TWRP image. Touchscreen does not respond to anything and letting it idle does not make a difference. I tried all of the available TWRP images (at the time) and did not find one that works. Luckily I found a tutorial showing how to use TWRP through ADB and frankly that is more user friendly in some ways since I've worked on Linux for a long time.

[Help] Mi Mix with no rom and locked bootloader, can't enter recovery.

Hi everyone,
everything is in the title, yesterday I bricked my Mix when I tried to install a new version via recovery (Mi Pc suite chinese version).
It updated, started working (I entered the rom) then restarted because it asked for a reset, had to say yes, when it restarted I was in a bootloop of Xiaomi logo and couldn't go into recovery mode anymore.
Only fastboot works, but still can't install rom via because I didn't unlocked the bootloader yet and didn't check for usb debugging.
Any ideas would be really appreciated.
Regards

So you still be able to flash official with miflash?

When I try to flash via Mi flash it says critical partition error thing (probably because I still don't have unlock the bootloader)

Shouldn't need unlock to install genuine ROM from xiaomi with miflash, you are using the fastboot ROM right?
Likewise USB debugging shouldn't be necessary, as far as I know. Like if you have no ROM it wouldn't know anything about USB debugging.

Yes I'm using fastboot rom
On this page: http://en.miui.com/a-234.html You can see Mi Mix is listed as it needs to unlock before any flash with fastboot.
When I try flash with MiFlash, it says Flash xbl error : https://i.imgur.com/ct0xAQY.png

You have unpacked the file correctly?
Think they mean if you're not using miflash.

Don't know if it would work on mix

Yes I did, with all the bat files the images folder.
I'll try one more time when I get home.
Or wait some days to get the unlock permissions by xiaomi

Might be safer to just wait. If you do it now you will have to do it again in a day.

I tried to unlock again with no success, it says error because I didn't enable the "OEM Unlock" option..
Any suggestions?

Have you tried reinstalling the recovery,
From command prompt or from the same command prompt , reboot recovery. Any of these useful?

I'm sure you have disabled driver signature on Windows but just checking.

Last option is "deep flash cable" to go into edl mode, buy 1 or make 1

Unlock critical, enter edl mode, then flash firmware using mi flash

same issue
hi bud.
got a very similar issue, except mine packed in automatically. did you manage to get yours fixed?

these steps should work if you do that properly.
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
enter edl mode
Code:
fastboot oem edl
(or by test point method)
BTW it is just a simple SoftBrick which is totally solvable.

If your boot-loader is not get blocked then you can do it with ADB sideload but if BT is blocked then the only way remains is the EDL flash mode.

Hey , thank you so mush, I tried since yesterday and your method is the only one that save my phone !

Bootloop - Help - Xiaomi Mi A2

Here we go:
1- Today i got a new phone
2- Wanted to remove the Google search bar and disable google app
3- Restart and the phone screen is very different like another version, so i decide to do a soft reboot
4- Phone stuck on auto loop
5- Try recovery mode, dont work
6- Fastboot works
7- I download new room jasmine_global_images_V10.0.12.0.PDIMIXM_20190712.0000.00_9.0_1e580ee45b
8- Download Miflash and Minimal ADB and fastboot.
9- Plug the phone in pc
10- Unlocks OEM with app
11- Opened Mi flash
12- Miflash have installed all the drivers
13- When i click on refresh the Fastboot icon(the android and the soviet cat) dissapears and the only thing i have is in one corner "press any key to shutdown"
Important data:
-i have windows 10 with usb 3.1 and 2.0
-USB debugg is locked
-By pure luck once i managed to do a full boot sequence but when it finished the layout of the screen was different, like another version and i started updating it, after a couple of updates it stuck again on bootloop.
- i have no idea what was the original version on the room but in the last point and in nº 3 it was 10.0.7.
- i have nothing that i cannot recover so i dont mind wiping out my userdata
-i have considered a test point but i dont know if it going to work
-return it to amazon its my last ressort
- i read about the issues in december and january with the bootloop but i tried everything
-i have acces to a computer with linux
-its very difficult to start the fastboot logo/menu and almost impossible the recovery mode, it almost always ends with phone booting, when i plug it onto my pc it start with the bootloop.
-sometimes when i click on refresh while the phone with the screen in black or starting up with the android one logo it changes to fastloop automatically
- also tried a hard resset and nothing changed
I have no clue what to do, should i do the test point, ask for another in amazon, spray it with holy water??
Sorry for the possible typos and all the numbers i wanted to explain myself and to put some order in my head.
Please help and Thanks in advance

I think you should connect your phone via USB 2.0, from my previous experience, the USB 3.0 port will give press any key to shutdown message on your phone

In this case I think you haven't unlock your bootloader, or haven't unlock both OEM and critical. Following up your steps, you didn't mentioned this part.
Have you done these codes?
fastboot flashing unlock
And
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
?
Select OEM unlock in settings doesn't unlock your bootloader automatically

Redmi 4 (Santoni) bricked. Please help.

I unlocked my redmi 4 (Santoni) boot loader and flashed pixel experience ROM (https://mega.nz/#F!INZgnAZI!9fuWhfCuazOO5YPBjxGlmA). It was working fine for a few days (Small heating issue was there). Then one day while i was charging the phone the phone turned off and never turn back on. When i try to switch on the mi logo flashes for a split second and then turns off. I tried to get into recovery but couldn't.
I can get into fastboot mode. I tried flashing the phone using Mi flash tool and fastboot rom. But it shows an error "flash tz error". When i tried an old version of mi flash tool i get the "Unspecified error (0x80004005: FAILED (remote: Critical partition flashing is not allowed))

Have you tried installing TWRP via fastboot?

I had the same exact problem, i put my phone on charge & when i came back to check it was switched off. It wouldn't turn on except the mi logo. I tried to flash through fastboot turns out my bootloader was re-locked for some reason. I had to re-unlock it then proceed on to fash fastboot miui rom. Check if your bootloader is locked or not.

This is a good idea! Probably u first try to install trwp in fastboot mode. If this doesn't work try to unlock bootloader again and then install trwp.
When all these Option doesn't work u still can open the phone and use edl fastboot mode to flash miui again.

Tried unlocking boot loader and was not successful because the phone was bricked. My only option was to use edl test point. Now i installed miui 11. (Aprart from some minor bugs which can be eliminated by reflashing some other roms) Thank you guys. Now my phone is successfully unbricked.

For somebody who is having the same issues,
My phone (Redmi 4_Santoni) was completely bricked. The only thing i can access was fastboot by pressing the volume down + Power button combination. But i could not install twrp or any other recovery because my boot loader was locked. I got it fixed completely with the help of you guys (Thanks again) and i want to share the procedure i went through.
Condition: Completely bricked with only fastboot access, Locked bootloader.
I tried this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j27x5iJSS40) but failed because i could not access recovery. So my only solution was to use edl test point flashing. I followed this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74818435&postcount=3. It was very easy to do. But in the device manager (Press Windows key + R and then type devmgmt.msc and press enter) instead of showing "Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008", the device is shown as "Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E". The problem was you have to plug in in USB cable while the test points is being connected with a pair of tweezers or a paperclip as shown in the link above.
Make sure you already downloaded the latest mi flash tool from here https://xiaomiflashtool.com/ and download fast boot rom from the official website. (Go to https://en.miui.com/ Click rom downloads. Click flashing guide. Download the fastboot rom from there for your device.) Now flash your device using mi flash tool and voila. your phone is unbricked.
Thank you guys..
