whats is the correct rom ?

Can't be seen from here I think. Almost every stock rom works on it.
The device also has been unlocked in the past (if u didn't noticed it)

i am getting error on Boot.img ...

Failed Flashing Process. 6/13 flash boot "boot_signed" -> Phone returned FAIL.

Did u get it in a working state? What if u try to flash everything manually?

How reliable Bootloader Unlock Check in hidden menu is?

Hi,
I have recently rolled back to stock firmware (4.1.2). As usual, I wanted to unlock it again but "Bootloader Unlock Check" in hidden menu says "unlock",
dialer: 3845#*880# --> Bootloader Unlock Check --> Bootloader Unlock Check --> Unlock
And the following is the output of "fastboot getvar all"
$ fastboot getvar all

How reliable Bootloader Unlock Check in hidden menu is? or what is wrong?

Xiaomi MI A2, is stuck in bootloop?

Hi Guys,
My MI-A2 is stuck in bootloop ( When I turn on my phone it shows its Android One logo and then it shutdown itself ).
In my phone, I didn't turn on any USB Debugging or and OEM unlocking. and now it is possible as the phone is not starting.
I am able to access fastboot and recovery options
I tried to do factoryReset the device from the recovery option but it is just wiping the data.
here are the following things which I have tried with fastboot.
- I tried to unlock the fastboot with MiFlashUnlock but it stops at 99% and gives me the error of unable to verify the device,
- flashing the Stock ROM isn't working with MiFlashTool. giving random errors.
- tried changing the drive partition Slot A/B. it gives error to unlock the device first.
- tried tried to flash TWRP but it also gives me the error of unlocking the device first.
Almost every command of Fastboot is giving me some kind of error
But I am able to access the ADB Sideload from the recovery option.
- I tried to load the April OTA update from ADB Sidelode. The update is Successfully installed. But the device is still in bootloop.
Saving User data is not my priority. I just want the device to be working anyhow. As per my assumption, Fastboot is not an option for me unless it unlocked. I think something from the ADB sideload can be done.
Any help will be appreciated.

you put the phone in fastboot
you open cmd window in adb folder
you put that cmd
fastboot oem edl
then you proceed directly to miflash tool
load .xml flash file
select clear all box at the bottom
press download
then miflash will flash your phone in edl ( deep flash )
that is the method that even Xiaomi uses to flash phones when fixing bricked devices

put the following command

_send a photo of error when trying to flash with miflash .... to succeed here you need to post more info and photos
probably your only option is to open the phone and force edl mode by testpoint ..search guide on internet.

do it a couple more times, maybe it will realize it cant boot the active slot and revert to the secondary one...

Unable to boot with other image with fastboot

Hi there,
I would like to root my Nokia 8 phone as it went out of warranty. I am new to deep Android hacks so I am basically following the guide: How to root your Nokia 8. My bootloader is unlocked with the official procedure. The next step is to boot with a TWRP or a prerooted image and install Magisk.
Unfortunately when I use the fastboot utility, the loading is done corectly and the phone reboots but then gets stuck on the "Powered by Android" splashscreen. This is occuring with both twrp-3.2.3-0-NB1.img and twrp-3.2.3-1-NB1.img

Has someone got the same error and solved it? Is there any way to print some debug information during the booting step?
Thanks,

OK, I found an answer there: https://tmsp.io/fs/xda/nb1/README.txt
Temporary booting:
As of NB1-488G-0-00WW-B01 the command "fastboot boot" is broken and does
not work like it should. It will lock you in the "Powered by Android"
screen without actually booting the image you supplied. To exit the screen,
please do "fastboot reboot" and then flash the image you wanted to boot to
your active boot partition.

So you can't actually use TWRP without installing it with a up-to-date firmware. Why the Rooting Guide is not updated with this information? This isue is old as it appeared with the 2018-08 security patch.

The only way to install the offical TWRP on Android 9 is to flash TWRP to boot slot B then install TWRP zip for both slots so slot A will receive TWRP. the only thing left is to switch back to slot A.

your explanation makes it difficult to help you and doesn't explain the problem properly & it is not up to others to fix your phone ... but if you're lucky you might get some advice how to ??*??* ..also helps saying please...
1. what version of android ?
2. stock or custom?
3. bootloader locked or unlocked?
4. rooted or unrooted?
5. which mods and launchers are you using ?
6. which version of miflash are you using ?
7. which version of stock are you using ?
* first of all
-uninstall fastboot and miflash ..reboot ..install latest version of both AND QUALCOMM 9008 DRIVERS
- check that bootloader is unlocked and oem unlock is toggled
- connect your phone and enable adb debug
- download latest stock rom fastboot
- unzip to /C of pc
- run cmd window from adb folder
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
-run cmd from fastboot
fastboot devices
fastboot getvar all
*paste answer here
*ARB must be less than 2

Mi A2 bootloop: something missing?
Hi, I am trying to revive a Mi A2 from a bootloop state (the coloured thin stripe circling endlessly through the middle of the white screen). Fastboot and Recovery are accessible and the bootloader shows as "unlocked". I bought the phone in this state, hoping to make it work.
Following your instructions above, I used MiFlash to install the latest official firmware - "jasmine_global_images_V11.0.15.0.QDIMIXM_10.0" and after about 300 seconds it finished with "Success" but the phone remained black, without restarting. After restarting it manually, nothing seems to have changed, the bootloop issue remaining the same.
In recovery mode, it shows this:
"xiaomi/jasmine/jasmine_sprout
9/PKQ1 . 180904 . 001/V10 . 0 . 9 . 0 . PDIMIXM"
In Fastboot I get the following information:

your anti rollback is fine , so no problems there ... everything seems fine ...it just tells you your bootloader is unlocked and the different partitions etc
everything looks good , according to the output above, the best way to boot safely , is to change your active slot from A to B using fastboot
fastboot --set-active=b
if that fails you should just boot twrp custom recovery and "dirty flash " your rom
fastboot boot recovery.img
*take a backup in case you haven't yet ...
if it still fails to boot try flashing a custom kernel
if still fails to boot flash stock rom in Miflash in edl mode
fastboot oem edl

Hi KevMetal, thank you for your help.
I followed your instructions and did the following:
- switched partitions from a to b but with no success - still in bootloop.
- installed TWRP (Pitch Black version) but I don't know how to "dirty flash" a rom. I wiped the cache and Dalvik cache. I get confirmation in the text console but on several different lines it keeps showing, in red letters: "Failed to mount ‚/persist’ (Invalid argument)"
- I don't know yet what a "kernel" is or does but I saw the option to flash from twrp. Can I flash any custom kernel? I saw there's a thread about this, I will check it out.
- I flashed again the latest stock rom in MiFlash - no success, still in bootloop.
What is keeping it from booting past that white screen with the coloured thin line in the middle?
Thank you.

if you can boot custom recovery .. wipe everything ..but everything ..and then install a custom rom ...reboot to recovery and then using orange fox recovery you need to search on web and flash the persist partition ..there are some .zips that can be used to wipe and restore your persist ( your problem is that your persist partition is corrupted) .. probably*... so anyway ..find a .zip file on the web for restoring persist ..( official global telegram) ..then flash it and then reboot to recovery once ..use power off function in recovery .. restart the phone and plug it into the charger and leave it to reboot 2-3 times spontaneously ..after a few reboots start using it ..it might bootlooop once or twice .. it's normal but it will eventually stabilize after a day or two

Wipe everything, start clean - I like this. Will come back with results, thank you.

Done. It's working!

Hi, I've done it and it is finally working!
I booted into twrp... wiped everything... installed custom rom (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/development/rom-pixel-experience-t4062563)... restored persist partition following Aerobatic's instructions (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/how-to-fix-sensors-camera-stock-pie-10-t3914885)... rebooted (after several failed attempts to reboot, the phone switched into recovery suggesting to wipe data in order to fix this problem - chose "yes".)... the phone started completely and everything is working normally.
Thank you, KevMetal for helping me through this. Otherwise I'd have renounced. Cheers to all contributors here!

Well, I celebrated a bit early. The interface works "buttery smooth" but there's one problem: no cellular connection. Wifi is working fine but no cellular. Although the phone recognizes that there's a sim card inserted, it has no signal, neither on sim slot 1 or 2. I tried with different sims on each slot or on both slots. It always shows an "x" on the antennae symbol on the screen.
I wiped the phone, flashed the latest official rom, booted and... still no cellular connection.
What could cause this? Should I flash another persist partition? Last time I used the one from the latest official rom (jasmine_global_images_V11.0.15.0.QDIMIXM_10.0). Thank you.

what did you originally do that caused this ? you must have messed around with stuff pretty extensively ... usually the wifi and sensor issues are solved by flashing persist
if your imei are all o's or there is no data you wiped your imei too which is different to just corrupting your persist
you might as well search for guides related to restoring your imei for a Qualcomm device be careful not to use mtk guides and search for a current one .. I've posted the fixes to this and the persist issue various times and don't feel like repeating the process ..you will have to dig a little ..you will need to copy your original imei's from your box and rerstore them using a specific tool .
