Mi A2 BOOTLOOP can't get into Fastboot or Recovery - Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers

So i followed this guide to root my Mi A2 "theandroidsoul (insert dot here) com/xiaomi-mi-a2-root/"
It went all fine but the phone was still not rooted. So i thought maybe get the newest Magisk.zip wich i put on the phone.
So I went back to step 11. to install the new version with TWRP but it didnt go to TWRP although i held the volume up butten and then used the command "fastboot reboot" and then it weent into bootloop
so i Guess i am stuck on my Partition A (in my case) where i installed TWRP but i cant shut the phone dont to get into fastboot and ADB says Error: no device Found".
I Need Help plssss :crying:

If you cant go to fastboot then you need open up phone and use testpoint to force edl mode
But before that hold volume down and power for 10-15 sec to force fastboot

The battery is drained now, i tried to plug it in to the wall and boot into fastboot right away, i saw the fastboot screen for a splitsec but it cut off because it had not enough charge, so i left it plugged in and tried to go to fastboot constantly till the phone had enough charge to hold the boot, i was in fastboot for about 1 minute or so (my plan was to charge it in fastboot mode, leave it like that and then go to the pc to change the active partition back, but the pc didnt recognise the phone) but after that it startet bootlooping again while it was in fastboot.
Could i try to got to TWRP with "volume up + power button" ? and change the active partition in there?

My phone won't start

Hello,
i think I've broken my phone, I hope you can help me.
I followed this tutorial that you can download here : (I can't post the link because I'm a new user)
I've tried to unlock the boot loader with success, then the installer tried to install a recovery (as the text in the command window said) and the progress stopped, I have waited a couple of minutes but nothing happend and I disconected the phone from my computer (I know that was a bad idea).
Know my phone won't start, not even in the recovery mode. I can hold the Vol +, Vol - button and the power button but only the huawei logo appears, then turns the screen black and nothing more happens. I have also disconnected the battery for some minutes but this didn't change anything.
The only positiv thing is, that Fastboot still recognizes the phone when it's connected to my PC, but I still can't enter the fastboot mode.
I hope you can help me and save my phone,
thankfull Robin

First of all thank you for your reply. But I can't put my phone with my computer and minimal ADB in fastboot mode. The device is found with the command "adb devices" but it has only recovery status. When I type in "adb reboot bootloader" then Huawei logo flashes up and then it goes back to blackscreen.
I fixed it
I fixed the phone by myself. I'm not an expert at all and this is for the people with the same problem.
I think the problem was, that the phone won't leave the recovery mode, because it was listed with "apd devices" as "recovery" for the whole time.
So I tried to install a stock ROM via SD Card with a tool named au_temp.cfg and the phone actually did more then just turning back off when i pressed the Vol+, Vol- and Power key. So the phone actually entered the bootloader but I got the wrong stock image, but this didn't mattered because after one try the phone got back to normal mode and booted quite fine. So I think the main problem was, that my phone was stuck in a recovery mode and needed help to exit it.

Question Phone stuck in boot loop, unable to get to FastBoot

Hi,
Sequence of steps:
1. Extracted the boot.img from payload.bin and flashed it to the phone. At this point I was able to get into Fastboot
2. While in Fastboot I went into advanced and wiped the "System Settings", and that's when the trouble started - now the phone is stuck into a boot loop forever, I do however get the options to "Power Off" and "Restart"
3. But none of the options above in Step 2 is able to bring me back to Fastboot (and hence into fastbootd either)
Question: How can I get the phone into Fastboot Mode - have tried MSM Tool v4 as well, but that doesn't even recognize the phone
Edit - This seems to have been resolved now, think I had to press Vol Down + Power instead of Vol Up + Power
Was able to enter into Fastbootd as well, will try to proceed with unbricking the phone with a fresh mind tomorrow
FYI for others reading I was able to install magisk by booting the patched file (dump the payload using the python script mentioned above). Running the command Fastboot boot filename boots into the operating system and then magisk can be installed using the direct method.
I assume running this command the phone doesn't actually flash the boot image but could be wrong

Thats right, "fastboot boot <file_name>" loads temporarily your custom recovery of choice. After rebooting your phone, the custome recovery is gone.
Otherwise, the command "fastboot flash <file_name> recovery" flashs permamently your custom recovery of choice to your device.
Hi I have a oneplus 8t and I tried flashing a payload.bin file using fastboot enhanced. after the operation completed I tried to reboot but the phone only shows the logo and then the bootloader unlocked warning message and then turns off briefly, then it does it again and the screen goes black. When connected to the PC, the PC recognizes the devices as android adb recovery devices but i can't do anything from there. Tried the volume up+power combo and it just does the same thing. tried the volume down+power combo and absolutely nothing happens. If i could at least get to the bootloader I could unbrick it but I just can't get there. Any advice

I have exactly the same issue, on a nord 2
How about vol+/vol-&power all together? When stuck that gives me some screen that allows start, recovery (the one where you can enter advanced settings I expect from your description) and bootloader booting.

You have to experiment with some button combinations. I ran into the same problem with a different phone two years ago. Read everything about this even if fastboot isn't working right now.

first let's go, download the fastboot stock version of the ROM then download Miflash, unzip the rom on your main disk twice, now on your cell phone you will press the power off button and at the same time the fastboot button (you must have messed up the file boot so it doesn't turn on) and play Miflash also on C disk, open Miflash on mobile in fastboot mode and select ROM folder don't forget to put the option to just clean and not lock, when the process is finished you wait for the phone to turn on

Thx but phone dont booting to fastboot mode so i cant flash boot.img i tryed now SP Flash too in linux and still same errors becouse phone disconecting too fast. I think technician service will be solution..
Dont use The daanm Sp flash Tool , Its for mediatek devices, USE Miflash, and Its impossible a phone dont boot in fastboot mode, try again, pls hold The button
I have both Mi flash and SP flash tool
Without fastboot you cant do much...
in Miflash it dont do anything even device it dont see on COM3
in SP flash too it react but with errors becouse of disconecting
phone dont boot right becouse both A and B boot images are corrupted.
Does your screen at boot turn red? I've done everything on my cell phone, several things have happened to me and not once did fastboot have a problem, because fastboot is a totally different place to boot, there is only this possibility if you used commands in adb to remove or do something in fastboot that made it useless, it's impossible to happen this in the way you said
yes i did adb commands in fastboot becouse i instaled recovery and this all happend after reboot
no problem doing things in adb, I said in the sense that you deleted fastboot in adb but that didn't happen by the way you said
Turn off your phone.
Press and hold the Power + Volume Down buttons together and immediately connect the device to the PC. You need to time it perfectly.
It will automatically boot into EDL mode, and LED lights may blink.
Download QPST Flash Tool and install your device's firmware using QFIL(comes included in QPST).
I suggest you to read everything about it online.

I tryed but not succes. It just booting every 5s nowhere. Cant get to EDL mode sorry. And correct turn off phone isnt possible i have to unplug battery flex cable but i also tryed. Only possible state where it dont restarting is when battery is unpluged and i connect phone on cable with pc and pressing volume down+power. But connection to COM3 is only 2s.
Well, in that case you need to short the test points on your motherboard and plug the phone into your PC at the same time.
Watch several videos related to it on YouTube first.
Wait, is your phone Redmi Note 11 or 11s?
I will try the point test. I have Redmin Note 11s.
Ahhhh...you posted it on Note 11 forum.
Can't help you mate. Things are more complicated in mediatek devices.
Still, this thread might help a little. Good luck.

Now i have bit progress with python im able to hold COM3 port connection around 60s. But when i start SP Flash Tool it will always make error. STATUS_BROM_CMD_STARTCMD_FAIL (0xC0060001) and STATUS_ERR (0xC0010001) , STATUS_BROM_CMD_FAIL
I finally managed to connect device for longer time cca 1 min with MTKMETAUtilityV49 and it helped me also disable auhorized connection for SP Flash tool V5. By this i formated whole disc except bootloader. Now phone dont self restarting so it is prepared for instal fresh rom. I think this will be again problem becouse i geting this error after few seconds of flashing: STATUS_SEC_IMG_TOO_LARGE

Question Stuck in bootloop, cannot reach fastboot

Hey, I have tried flashing a GSI ROM but got an error after attempting these two commands :
MrScarl3t said:
./fastboot erase system
./fastboot flash system Gsi.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The "system" partition could not be found and after reading some of your comments I figured I had to reboot into fastbootd and not fastboot. Therefore I rebooted my phone but I am now stuck into a bootloop without being able to reach fastboot whatsoever. Holding down the volume down key does not seem to have any effect.
A few more details:
- adb does not detect my device anymore.
- I was previously on a stock ROM.
- I only managed to flash the vbmeta.img before the bootloop happened.
- Upon holding the volume up button, my phone briefly connects to my PC (for about 2 seconds) then disconnects and restarts again.
What could I do to be able to reach fastboot and flash the stock ROM again?
Thanks for reading
Hold power button + volume down button for 30 second if fails then drain the battery then repeat the process.
My battery is drained and no matter how long I hold the two buttons I can't get out the bootloop unfortunately...
-let the cable connected to pc and press (+ and power) when the splatch screen appears wait 3 secondes and release the power button keeping + button only.
-if not, try with an OTG disk inserted and do the same as above.
-if not, type on pc terminal: adb reboot recovery before connecting your phone.
Good luck.
Hey, thanks a lot for your reply
I have tried all the steps you've described me and I unfortunately can't reach recovery.
It seems as if the phone is reacting to it though as a black screen screen is displayed much longer than usual, although a few seconds later, the MI splash screen appears once again. Also, I can hear the beep from the pc when the phone connects but it keeps disconnecting 1 second later and proceeds to reboot. Seems like recovery is corrupted or something...
The phone does not show up under adb devices throughout the whole process. My pc only recognizes the usb port being connected (when the beeps are triggered) but does not identify the device as an android device.

my phone wont turn on after i Unbrick it with abd

after i typed the last command (fastboot reboot )the phone wont start up again its like dead no light or anything is showing i connect it to a pc i hear the usb sound but nothing appear
i tried typing adb devices but nothing is showing
is the rom i install is bad or somthing and how do i fix it and turn it on at least into fastboot
Unsuccessful rebooting 7+ times was supposed to switch phone to use another of A/B slots with previously booting system.
If phone is unlocked, u can try to switch A/B slots via fastboot or temporary booting into TWRP.
If phone is locked, search for TestPont/EDL flashing guide.
