Phone stuck at MI logo after trying to root the device - Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers

Hi all,
today i was trying to root my newly Xiaomi Mi8. (got it last thursday)
I used these steps to get it done: www . theandroidsoul.com / xiaomi-mi-8-root / (please remove the spaces)
after installing the magisk-v16.4 I have rebooted my phone. then I got stuck.
i have tried several things, and probably made it worse. i have wipe my whole phone all partitions. and via the TWRP recovery I have loaded the xiaomi.eu_multi_MI8_8.7.6_v10-8.1.zip rom.
after this installation I again got stuck on the loading screen of the MI logo.
I read somewhere that this can take some time, but it is on the logo for more then 3 hours now
can anybody help me pointing me in a new direction ? many thx !

Format in twrp (where you have to confirm with typing yes), transfer rom again, flash it. Boot, reboot to TWRP, flash magisk.

You are my HERO !! it works!

[Q] Stuck at boot screen with the nexus logo

hello, I hope one of you can help me because I've been trying to fix my nexus one for over 4 days now ... after hours of unsuccessfull attempts... I have decided to ask for help, so heres the deal...
I got this phone from a friend.. he had tried to flash the phone (i think) and broke it.. I saw a radio update and a file starting with the name "eViL" in the SD card. I have tried to flash it several times... even deleted the two files in the SD card and 'tried' to restore the original ROM refering to the tutorial in this link..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614850
I downloaded the ROM from the rapidshare link which was given there; All the steps worked fine except 'fastboot erase userdata' .. This one gave me an access denied error.. however, still my phone wont boot. gets stuck with the nexus logo and the lock icon.. I cant go into recovery mode.. when i try, it goes back to the boot screen and gets stuck there...Please help me fix my phone...
Read the Wiki, follow Unroot/Restore guide using PASSIMG method.

Custom Recovery issue (XT1068) (Solved)

Hi everyone, I'm having a weird issue since this morning and could not solve it yet, maybe someone can help me.
Basically I tried to dirty flash the new nightly of CM12.1 using TWRP 2.8.6.0 and it got stuck. After rebooting the device I could not get to twrp anymore (strangely) and then I tried to reflash it (two different versions) with no success.
With my device being in this state (without booting into OS and with no recovery access) I had to download the stock 5.0.2 for the XT1068 and flash it using fastboot. It can now boot up normally into stock ROM and restored the stock recovery, but now any custom recovery I flash it does not work. I had two different results on two versions of twrp:
2.8.5.0 - After flashing it and trying to access it the device shows the "unlocked bootloader" screen and then reboots itself and goes to the ROM without even getting into TWRP.
2.8.6.0 - After flashing it and trying to access it the device goes to the "unlocked bootloader" screen and freezes there. I have then to hold the power button for a long time (about 1,5 min) and then the device boots the stock ROM.
Anyone can give any idea of what I can do? I even tried to lock and unlock the bootloader again, flash CWM, flash TWRP and nothing. At least the device is booting, so it is not a urgency, but any help is appreciated!
----------------------------
I got it, a stupid reason for all issues I was having. The issue was with my router, that was set to use a internal firewall which was screwing up a lot of my downloads, and the ROM and TWRP files just got into this issue.
After reconfiguring my router everything worked out, which make me fell stupid for not thinking about this before hahaha, but at least it is fixed
Thanks for everyone who took a time to read this and sorry for any inconvenience!

HTC ONE X9 (Dual sim) stuck at HTC LOGO!!

Hello,
So guys, I have been stuck at this for a while now, it happened when I unlocked bootloader and installed a custom recovery (TWRP) and after that I went ahead wiped the data through recovery. (Reason: I was going to install aroma file manager.) since then I cant boot into OS. Thought maybe I accidentally wiped all the data including OS but then through this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3375203 I reinstalled the rom through that "system.img" he provided although it didn't work, my phone surely isn't bricked cause my pc recognizes it and I can boot into recovery,bootloader,download mode.
I still get stuck at the HTC LOGO.
What might be causing it, please help.
PS: Also TWRP says "No OS Installed", if anyone can find me a rom other than those he provided please do.

Mi5 in mysterious bootloop (unlocked)

Hello everyone,
I don't know what I should do further. My Mi5 is in a bootloop and I almost tried everything. Here is the story:
On a normal day, I took the phone out of my pockets and it was black. So I though, maybe the battery is dead. So back at home I charged the phone and tried to turn it on, however it directly went into a bootloop (Mi logo for a few seconds - black screen - Mi logo - black screen - and so on...). Okay, nothing bad I though, maybe just the firmware got some strange damage. I then tried almost everything:
successfully flashed the Global ROM -> bootloop (tried both, beta and stable)
succesfully flashed the Chinese ROM -> bootloop (tried both, beta and stable)
flashed TWRP recovery and was able to access it and everything on the phone. Restart -> Bootloop
flashed LineageOS via TWRP -> NO BOOTLOOP, but guess what: EDL MODE?!
flashed again the official MIUI (different versions) -> BOOTLOOP
flashed the Chinese MIUI Stable with the LOCK command -> BOOLOOP (but with locked bootloader)
unlocked the phone again with MiUnlock
flashed TWRP recovery again -> tried various things, but unsuccessful.
Now, I found the possibility to download the log from the phone. Attached here.
(I tried various combinations of firmwares and process, but all ended with the same outcome: no startup into Android)
Do you guys have any idea what could be wrong?
Hi..
I don't know exactly what's wrong with your mi5..coz you're already told that you almost tried everything..but as long the problems just softbrick i think there's nothing wrong to try this way that might be you don't try it before..
What twrp version you're using it currently..?, is it official or zcx twrp..?, if official..just try switch to zcx version first..you can find and download it from here.
After that with zcx twrp tried check and see that your partition system, data and cache are still as Ext4 file system not F2fs or you can try formatting the data partition (caution!!..this will deleting all your internal storage) to make sure everything is clear, then put it again the rom.zip then flash it again the rom but this time just try it using xiaomi.eu rom, you can try this rom
And anyway..what version XiaomiFlash tool you're using it while flashing official fastboot rom..?
Xiaomi eu dont support f2fs,i have tried it myself,the last thing to do if you already haven't do in is to flash the firmware in edl mode(i prefer to try Chinese devolep first),i think that way the phone is fully wiped and than flashed just like it came out of factory,other than good luck

Hey guys, I will try your suggestions. In the meantime, I attached the dmesg log - it shows the kernel booting. Maybe you see something. It would be cool, if you can upload a dmesg log as well so I can compare or check if you can see anything.
Further information:
- I am using MiFlash 2016.08.30.0
- Tried it with the alternative ZCX version AND the xiaomi.eu ROM
- Formatted the data partition as well (I could create a backup of it with TWRP)
- still same situation...
- Is there a way to reset partitions or kind of "deep flash" the device?

Yes. No luck either. Then I tried to flash (via normal fastboot mode) an old STABLE China MIUI ROM: miui_MI5_V7.3.2.0.MAACNDD_905c2c8100_6.0.zip -> resulted in boot -> black screen. Now I can go into either fastboot nor recovery

Hav you got it fixed ??? Even i am facing the same issue.
please do let us know if you have fixed it.
Im using mi5 64gb
Exactly the same problem: " (Mi logo for a few seconds - black screen - Mi logo - black screen - and so on...)"
But this has happened after serious damage (car rolled over the phone) and I replaced the screen with new one. So I guess some hardware might be damaged. Flashing ROM's didn't help.
I couldn't find any solution so far
After screen replace , you got it working ?
I can't get into recovery also.
I tried many twrp versions , i can see the twrp screen but then it get stuck and phone restarts to go back to that mi logo bootloop.
I did flashed many Chinese and global ROMs via flashboot and miflash tool but all the same.
I'm so doomed...
My phone has no history of any fall or anything ..
I wonder what happened all of a sudden.
Thanks for the reply

Okay, have you tried Mi Flash with deep flash cable ? Flash it again with deep flash cable or go to any reseller shop. They have deep flash cable. Ask them to flash it again. It'd cost you upto $10.
I retried yesterday - no success.
I flashed both stable versions: Global and Chinese, but after flashing, I again had the same problem: bootloop. I stop wasting time, until someone knows the problem. I personally think it's a problem with the hardware, as when you see the log, which I posted above (kernel log of TWRP), there are quite a lot of "errors" in it.
Any other idea?
I asked an android expert who worked in mi about it ...
He was almost sure that either battery or the motherboard is faulty.
He thinks the motherboard is of more chance for the issue.
Bummer..... then I have to wait until I get back to Hong Kong to repair (bought it there). Thanks for the update @bilalsmu.

Your welcome...
Can you just try flashing with mi flash tool with the option 'clean all and lock'
I just tried mine, and now android is loading *fingers crossed*
Will update if it did complete..
Okay, can you tell me which MiFlash version you have been using (and which ROM?)
I am sorry brother.
Android booted up,I could log into my accounts and I left the phone for charge while it was syncing the accounts ..
When I am back after half an hour , bootloop had already started
I used miflashtool 2016 and miui 8.2.1 official global rom

Bootlooping , please help

So I tried flashing TWRP today for the 1st time.
http://en.miui.com/thread-329161-1-1.html , This is the guide I used.
Everything worked fine , it booted into TWRP , and it gave me some messages saying it needs to do some modifications to the system to make it permanent , did all that.
And now , Phone is not booting into the system. It's not even getting to the booting screen. It's stuck at MI logo and Bootlooder Unlock screen. I can only boot into TWRP.
