This is the 4th time my phone has gone to EDL mode since I had CM then now I'm using Lineage. The only way to bring it back is to flash a fastboot MIUI ROM and it's getting annoying. I had to backup my phone's data every week. It's a real pain in the as*.

Hello there.
I have a Huawei P9 (EVA-L09) with an unlocked bootloader and a custom ROM.
Since a few days I started experiencing something completely weird.
Every time I happen to turn off my phone (often only because the phone had gotten quite warm and I want it to cool down then) I then land in the boot animation and get stuck there. After forcefully rebooting the phone from there (about half of an hour) I held the Volume Up key for three seconds during the warning screen and eRecovery told me about the Data Partition to be badly damaged and it would be recommended to recover it.
There are two ways I can do from here (and also did):
First way is to let it recover using eRecovery, connect to my wireless connection, however the phone always tells me that there was a problem getting the package info for my phone. (Does Huawei stopped supporting the P9 eventually?)
The second way is to run TWRP and reinstall the custom ROM (In my case RROS 5.8.5 for my P9) and to never turn my phone off again. However this isn't always possible to keep it on since it also could happen that I'm not at home and my battery suddenly died.
Installing the stock ROM (or a custom ROM based on a stock ROM) however doesn't work. The stock ROM itself simply won't get installed, neither over the dload method or TWRP or fastboot and a custom ROM based on the stock ROM results in having my phone simply getting a black screen when locking it and then I need to reboot it to use it again.
What can I do? Could it be that my flash memory could be corrupted or something could have happened with one of the partitions of the phone?
Greetings.
EDIT: I managed to install a stock firmware using this link right here.
After the stock firmware was installed, doing a factory reset and wiping the cache every problem I mentioned above this edit vanished.
ok so i used this toolkit for the MI A2 from this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/mi-a2-toolkit-unlock-bootloader-root-t3834585][Tool]
to unlock the bootloader, root the phone and enable camera2 API. And i had a little bit of issues with that as well but i got it working.
Now that was a few weeks ago and last night i accidentally slept in while watching videos on the phone without the phone plugged to the wall. So it drained and as i woke up i plugged it in and tried to turn it on but it was stuck on the boot screen (NOT bootloop, just stuck at android one screen) so i tried to fix the phone with the toolkit but then i suddenly got in bootloop (that problem i had the last time) so i tried to fix it the same time as last time. Said "last time problem" was that while trying to go into TWRP i got stuck on partition B (in my case normally the empty one) which resulted in a bootloop and i also couldn't access fastboot. It would always bootloop, so i tried to let it drain and then plug it in and immediately go into fastboot which seem to work and there i could change the partition back to A.
This time i thought it may be a similar problem and tried to solve it but i failed now i cant flash any partition (will add screenshot with prompt from toolkit), both of the partitions are bootlooping, i can still enter fastboot (now anytime i want to) and with the toolkit i can still access TWRP where i also tried to wipe cache (didnt't help) restore the phone (same) or wipe all the data and all resulted in failure. now im kind of lost at this prompt of the toolkit and my amateur guess is that my last resort may be the EDL mode but i dont know much about it and therefore i seek out for help

NEVERMIND, the phone started now as factory restored BUT i can't do anything really because i always get the prompt "Google-Framework-Services repeatedly stopps working" (my phone is in an other language so i translated it roughly). what should i do next? i dont want to mess this up more.
Edit:
Also i am currently on slot/partition B
You're probably trying to install a downgraded version, I highly doubt Mi A2 toolkit has been updated with the latest stock rom, you're better off downloading the stock rom from here and using the flash_all.bat file to do it.

how would i have to do that? im not fimiliar with the flash_all.bat
would this explain the toolkit prompt?
My problem goes a little further than that. I flashed the stock ROM back onto my phone after having RROS 5.8.5 for quite some time and all of a sudden now I cannot boot my phone past this message on the Lenovo/Motorola splash screen:
Code:
=>FASTBOOT mode...
=>Device lockbroken
on top of this, I'm sure something has happened to he phone through a possible incorrect/incomplete flashing when trying to get my SP Flash Tools to work like it used to (It worked fine before, but this time SPFT didn't want to work giving me BROM errors and mostly error 6045 - FYI I sorted this out by running CCleaner registry clean a few times).
So now, my phone is stuck on this message and when I enter fastboot mode to try to query the phone with
Code:
fastboot devices
, my serial apparently has changed to 0123456789ABCDEF?!
How do I restore my original serial number and get rid of the "lockbroken" message (is there anything to do with NVRAM? Did I wipe it or something?), so I can get on with unlocking and re-rooting my phone? I've not been able to use my phone for about two weeks when I first wiped the OS and my PC just decided not to let SPFT work properly, so now, I've finally got it to flash the stock ROM back on, the last hurdle now is to get past this lockbroken crap!
Thanks in advance,
(don't be afraid to talk techy - I'm not that bad!)

Hey!
I was using my phone as normal, and installed an update for PixelPlusUI, it was working fine and all, until earlier today, i tried going into recovery to fix an app issue. After that, the phone just bootlooped. I figured that going into Fastboot would fix that, but the problem is, i can't reach any of those modes. It just goes to the Redmi logo, reboots, and repeats that infinitely.
I heard about EDL mode, but that seems atleast so far, unreacheable.
Is there any way for me to reach it? Maybe by letting the battery dry out and then plug the powered off phone with Volume -, or am i out of luck here? Im pretty sure this is caused by the stupid VBMeta checks XIAOMI phones has.

Vbmeta means Android Verified Boot.
Vbmeta is default for all android devices and it was made by Google.
It is not specific made by Xiaomi.
Android Verified Boot 2.0

What changes did you do when you fixed the app issue?
Couldn't do any, just tried to boot into recovery, then got into that bootlooop cycle, couldn't reach anything.
Managed to get into EDL and SP Flash Tool mode, however, im a bit confused on what i need to flash to get it back to life with stock MIUI or atleast boot to main system to use ADB.
My IMEI is fixed on the phone stickers so i can reasily recover that aswell, any help is appreciated.
EDIT: Now i just need help flashing as it seems, what do i need to do to properly re-flash / re-boot the phone without losing IMEI and that sorta stuff? I plan on switching back to Pixel Plus UI again so, it isn't an issue.
EDIT2: Completely fixed, followed VD's guide on EDL/Mediatek Bypass method and flashed a normal GLOBAL rom, all was fixed, no IMEI lost.
Long story short, I messed up and flashed the abl and ablbak partitions from a very old version of MIUI (V10.2.6.0) on PixelExperience 12. The device powers on for half a second, then shuts off for 1 second, before repeating again, sending it into a fast bootloop. The only way I could even stop it was by disconnecting the battery. The device doesn't stay on long enough to get into recovery or fastboot to re-flash abl. Is it fair to say it's dead?
EDIT: EDL fixed it!
I'm glad you got it fixed. Out of curiosity, did you have to pay someone?
