Hi guys,
I installed MIUI 8 through TWRP, but didn't quiet like it, so I decided to try out other ROM's like Lineage OS, but none of them would install. When I tried to reboot using MIUI which was still installed, I couldn't use the keyboard anymore, so I decided to go back to TWRP and install the SuperUser Version of EUI I have already used for quiet a while. It installed correctly, but when I rebooted my phone, MIUI somehow tried to boot again. I went back to TWRP, installed EUI, but when I rebooted, MIUI tried to boot again. The big issue is that MIUI can't really start up which means that the start screens just keeps rotating, but nothing else happens. Does anybody have an idea how to solve that problem? I never experienced such an issue. Thanks!
I solved it by just trying it multiple times. I didn't really reach my target, but at least my device is usable again.
It is not available

When I tried reinstalling Stable OxygenOS 4.1.6, the phone locks up upon install and setup screen. This goes for previous OS versions, as well. It takes force quits, restarts, and numerous install attempts and the phone still locks up. I tried stock recovery, old and new TWRP versions, all of which are clean installs, Nothing. LineageOS and other Hydrogen based roms still lock up, either at the setup screen, or when I try and activate developer options. Every Rom I tried after activating developer options, it doesn't leave the gear icon in the menu, either. It takes a restart (force quit) for it to show up. Also, WiFi doesn't work. Sometimes when I try and install OxygenOS either by sideloading, or through TWRP, the phone locks up at the wifi setup screen. This goes for every version of OxygenOS I tried. Your advice is appreciated. Thanks.
I had some problems last night while switching back and forth between Beta and stable. I could try to help but I'm not a guru at this, so wait for confirmation if you are not sure.
First I think you need the right TWRP version. 3.1.1-2 is the latest one, but I'm using 3.0.4-1 (flashed stableOOS with it) and everything is back to normal for me.
Try a clean flash of stableOOS. TWRP > Advanced wipe, select dalvik,cache,data,system and swipe.
Then install the OS. Don't reboot yet, and instead boot into recovery after going back. I read that this ensures you keep TWRP.
It may say No OS installed, but go ahead. Then boot into system again. This worked for me and I restored my backups
I just went from beta 10 to 4.1.6 and have no issues at all.
I followed the basic procedure, in TWRP (recommend to use the latest bluesparks one from his kernel thread - just TWRP no need for his kernel), I did a factory reset, (in TWRP just swipe to Factory reset from the WIPE screen where it says 'Most of the time this is all you need'), its correct nothing else needed, then flashed the full v416 file, then flashed Magisk 13.2, rebooted to system, that was all. TWRP was not lost with this method.
System booted to stable v4.1.6 and no issues.
Check what format are your partitions fornatted in. Make sure they are f2fs. Otherwise try the debrick tutorial. It helped me fix a lot of bugs on my 3T.
I tried all of the above, and I'm certain under the right circumstances, your advice would work. In the end, I used the unbrick tool which brought it back to it's original locked state, and I'm still running into issues. I wonder if there's a hardware issue somewhere that was the result of using Beta. The OS boots up and I'm finally able to access developer options, but no WiFi and the phone still refuses to restart or power off unless I do a hard shutdown. I've never seen anything like it. Numerous ROMS, recoveries, and sideload installs using the One Plus Recovery, and it still doesn't work.
Thanks for everyone's input, but I feel like this phone is done.
Hello all before I describe my issue lemme tell you how I got there.
First of all, new phone, couldn't install pixelexperience and flashing stock android was being a pain with all methods (read not working), only managed to install stock android with pitch black recovery.
After a while it auto updated to android 9 and I started having wifi issues that people told me were android's fault so I waited for an update. Update came but android was unable to install it, giving errors after errors every time it downloaded the update.
My solution to all of this was to flash another rom, either stock or custom, and pray it works. It was scheduled to happen in 2 days, when I had free time.
Today, when trying to change the permission for a text file for an app from read only to write, some random process crashed, and it triggered a crashing cascade, including the settings app, homescreen launcher, etc until the phone restarted and got stuck in TWRP logo screen.
No key press, combination, resets, etc would fix it. So I got into fastboot and tried a few things with no luck. Flash stock rom again and phone seemed to be working.
Magisk manager couldn't install magisk and root the phone so I went into stock recovery/twrp and every time I did it I got a black screen message saying something like this:
"Your phone/system is corrupt and won't boot ever again *evil laugh*. Oh btw, go to this link in another device to cry more"
and the link redirects to a google page with some non-useful info.
So here I am, unable to root, unable to go into recovery, phone boots though. I force-stoped updates for a while, as android 9 wifi issues were terrible, and I don't know how to proceed.
Do I flash a stock image again, a custom one, try another rooting method?
I don't want to brick a 6month old phone, really sucks.
Btw, is there a reliable way to back up everything in the phone ?(not only google stuff, but app configs and files/folders) Long time ago I read something about Titanium backup but never looked into it further and now with this crash that lost me everything I wanna prepare for the future.
Thanks for all the help and for reading my boring story.
Even I am facing same problem.. In my case my phone is rooted and I cnt flash TWRP and I cnt get into fastboot mode.. I alwys endup with black screen..
I think I have the weirdest soft brick ever. First of all my device works. I can use every feature with no issues till I reboot.
If my device is rooted and I try to reboot, it stucks on bootloader for about 30 seconds and loops on fastboot. There's no single reboot process gone smooth.
I could earlier fix this issue by flashing system, cache and boot all together from my back up. Now it doesn't work, at least it loops on android booting screen.
My device is MI 9T Pro 128 GB Global.
I flashed Xiaomi.eu 11 latest stable rom via the official TWRP and rooted with magisk.
I tried different TWRP's and OrangeFox to flash Magisk or formatting data but no solutions so far.
First time this happened I also tried to flash 'magisk uninstaller' but it didn't help.
I'm really new to this phone and triggered by this annoying issue. It's been 6 set-ups in 10 days. If anyone can help, that'd be highly appriciated.
Hello, it's my first post on this forum so sorry If I made this thread in the wrong place.
I have been trying to install PE 12 (plus edition) using official PE site (https://download.pixelexperience.org/lava).
After many attempts to do so, I ended up installing different TWRP recovery images and wiping everything from my phone.
Then I've tried installing official recovery image from site and I've installed ROM by adb sideload and it worked.
First boot wasn't a problem, but from start phone would sometimes crash when attempting to turn it on (or, attempting to unlock lock screen. I can write my PIN, but then rebooting happens). When it wouldn't crash (it's not happening every time) everything would be working as long as I don't turn it off. I don't know what is causing that behaviour.
Would reinstallation help or is it hardware problem (not enough RAM etc.), or lack of swap partition?
PS: Updating every app on phone doesn't help, as well as removing lock screen (no PIN etc.).
Update: I have installed different ROM from sourceforge dedicated to my phone version (galahad). It is android 11. Works 100% fine.
Hi everyone! I have been suffering with this problem for 2 full days on my S10 (SM-G973F/DS) and now i just have absolutely no idea how to fix it, so I thought it was worth writing about it here.
On stock, I used one old and outdated application that made user certificates system certificates, but which worked. Having tried it on EvolutionX 5.9.1 (Android 11), it brought the phone into a bootloop. I didn’t have a backup and because in order not to go through the installation process on a new one again, I decided that I would try to delete the folders from the data partition ONLY, but after half a day of attempts, nothing happened and I started to install the rom from scratch, but then weird things began to happen: after reinstallation/factory reset, boot animation randomly started (check attached video), which either went into an endless boot, or loaded the system back, but then if boot animation started on loading then this loading become endless, and the buttons (in the system) "Reboot to recovery", "Reboot to bootloader" and etc simply turning off the phone without booting into the recovery or bootloader, and if this happened, then somewhere in 2 minutes after turning it off.
I think i tried almost everything: re-installation according to the instructions, re-installation according to the way I did it before, I even tried to install the stock, and after the recovery again and then rom, but absolutely nothing changes, I cannot use custom rom if it is up to this worked fine and everything started on the same version as I was trying to install like before, I even tried to download the rom installation file again, not installing magisk-patch in boot, installing multidisabler, even find my old backup for TWRP that has every partition, but absolutely nothing changes, maybe someone knows how to fix it?
Thanks in advance!
P.S Stock rom works perfectly (android 11), but i want to use custom anyway (also android 11)
