Hello,
i have bought a new Xiaomi Mi A2 and thought it would be a really nice idea to flash magisk on it. First everything was alright. I unlocked my bootloader in fastboot with "fastboot oem unlock" and flashed twrp on the b partition. Unfortunately my device broke (don't know why... maybe the unofficial twrp with some bugs or...). So now i have a really big problem, because my twrp recovery is missing as well as the stock recovery. When i try to switch on the mobile i am stuck in bootloop (with the mi logo). Not even the bootloader warning is shown.
Fastboot mode is working but not really nice. Not even the mitu appears, no the display is black (or doesn't show anything.. The device's display is on).
My Mi A2 is recognized by the computer so I considered to flash the stock rom with fastboot.
I thought it would work, but in the mi flash programm i got the erorr: flash devcfg_a error.
Now i can't switch my mobile off, because when I'm holding the power button, it restarts and restarts and restarts...
I know i am stupid and maybe have done something wrong, but i would be soooo happy to get some help
Thank you so much!
Fastboot flashing unlock_critical
(It will wipe /data)
then flash with mi flash
But before doing that, try just flashing stock boot
Fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
Or boot_b if that's your active slot

Thank you very much for your answer.
Unfortunately i have wiped everything in twrp before (when it worked) so there's nothing stored on the device.
When i type in critical unlock only a big list of commands appears which can be used.... ?

I promised I would create an account here just to thank you if your method worked!
After doing something dumb (I typed some wrong commands I think) my A2 got into the infinite reboot, never got out of the android logo, I tried everything and literally thought I lost my phone for good ;n;
I downloaded "jasmine_global_images_V10.0.2.0.PDIMIFJ_20181206.0000.00_9.0_02b8deeb6d.tar" and flashed that on miflash and watched my phone come back from the dead like frankestein or something. He's doing great and is in top shape, thanks to your advice! THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Hope you have a wonderful 2019!

I have a mi a2 and it's stuck on Android logo screen. It has an unlocked bootloader and maybe it's rooted too. While I thought I rooted it.. It went into bootlooping.. Only fastboot and android logo can be accessed. I tried flashing it with stock rom but mi flash tool goes like 3500+ sec. Please tell how to fix this.

I have the same issue in PC I'm writing this from (in USB3.1 Gen2 and Gen 1 ports, and even in USB 2.0 ports), but have no problems in 2 other PCs I currently have access to.
For non-universal solution with my current PC please see more info in my answer in neighbouring thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81693759&postcount=28.

OK here is my problem,
I got a brand new Xiaomi Mi5 64GB and the first thing that I did was to connect it with Mi PC Suite to check for updates.
It found an update and started to update until it failed, after that the device couldn't normal boot or recovery boot (Vol+ and POWER went to a black screen with "mi logo" same as normal boot).
View attachment 3788573
I can only boot on fastboot mode, but can't do anything in the fastboot as BL is locked.
Official BL unlocking method can't work as device isn't linked to any Mi Account and MiFlashUnlock can't verify my device.

1. I CAN'T boot into recovery.
2. I CAN'T boot EDL.
3. I CAN boot just into Fastboot, but Bootloader is Locked.
4. I CAN'T unlock BL via official methode as there is no linked Mi Account on Device.
I think that i need a hardware way to unlock BL.
Have you tried this method to see if it works?

You CAN boot into recovery, don't be silly. Have you read the instructions?
Hold volume up and power button and a MI logo should came up, that's the recovery.

Recovery was a black screen with a white phone, not "mi".
Phone is not detectable anyway if i normally or vol+ boot.
Im not a noob i know what recovery is, so i need answers with the facts that i mention before, no recovery, no edl, unlockable bl.
Im gonna send it to repair shop anyway but still my situation is a big problem that xiaomi should look into it. I get bricked via official update tool, and i cant unlock bl cause xiaomi's unlocking tool stupidly requires linked mi account on device to verify.
When you boot into fastboot and update in mipc suite, it doesn't work ?
I don't understand why official tool need unlock bootloader, it's insane from Xiaomi

Mi PC Suite doesn't recognize device in fastboot mode, it returns a screen to connect in normal mode first.
Only MiFlash can see the device in fastboot but it needs unlocked BL to flash the Official fastboot ROMs. Madness!
Aarff just, you're right
Just speculation but maybe can you reboot in recovery with adb commands ? (adb reboot recovery)
Or maybe download twrp, run shell from where it is saved and run
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img[
?

Oh yes sorry, it's a phone, my bad.
Then the recovery works fine for you, just the PC doesn't recognise it, which is driver or windows problem, not your phone.
SpinoRex: Fastboot doesn't work because of the locked bootloader. Only option is the official recovery with chinese mi pc suite.

They are in the same situation ... solved?
Mi suite in chinese
You may try to use MI SUITE in Chinese. I was in your exact situation trying to remove a fake rom from my MI5, but with this I solved all the issues.
Just one advice: don't use a pre-loaded ROM, let the program to download it from the internet.
you can boot your device into edl mode with a special fastboot
just type "fastboot reboot" to go to the Edl mode and flash rom with miFlash
Hello, I never experienced this before so here I am trying to find some explanation, hopefully it's the right place... I have a Xiaomi Mi 5 Pro, few years old, sometimes slow but otherwise perfect, I changed the battery couple times.
Today I noticed it was at around 20% charge, I plug it to the wall, and leave it on the bed (turned on). After a few hours I go back to check on it and found the 100% indicator, but the phone was turned off.
I obviously try to turn it back on, but it gets stuck at the Mi logo (black screen with "unlocked" text below). I have installed a MIUI.eu rom ver. 11, twrp 3.2.3-0 recovery, and everything has been fine for years. I tried several times, still Mi logo (it's not bootloop, it's just stuck).
Suprised, I try to boot into recovery, and there I noticed that all the partitions are marked empty 0 bytes. I tried several things like backup, switching file format, restoring file system, etc., but it just won't work. It's like it has all been wiped and can't be mounted again.
I connected it to my desktop, MTP enabled from twrp, device recognized, storage completely empty. I remember I could see files there just the other day...
I tried all possible wipes, they won't work, either can't mount the partitions or other errors.
I already asked for suggestions elsewhere, which pointed me to fastboot flash using the adb/fastboot tools on Windows.
Well it says "Looking for devices...", the fastboot screen on the phone stays there for about 30 seconds, then it goes to the black Mi logo and then it shuts down.
Also if I boot in recovery, I can see it detected in the adb/fastboot tools screen, the scary part is that there it says "Bootloader: locked" (but it has been unlocked for years, and it even says unlocked in the black Mi screen!)
I'm lost, I never had anything like this, any suggestions to save the device? I would be really grateful

You probably don't have proper drivers for Mi 5 installed, download MIFLASH UNLOCK 3.5.1108.44 from here https://xiaomifirmware.com/downloads/download-mi-unlock-3-5-1108-44/
Double click on MiUsbDriver and install fastboot driver. Then phone will stay in fastboot mode when connected to PC, so you can try to install some original fastboot rom. I don't know what is the problem.

Well I don't know. Have you tried to format data in TWRP? Go into Wipe/Format Data/type yes (this will wipe EVERYTHING on phone) then from main menu reboot into recovery again and see if things changed.

Yes that was the first thing I tried unfortunately that's where I found out something was off... I can't wipe any partition, I can't mount any partition, I tried to switch filesystem but no luck.
I was reading in the forums here about "sudden death" and it kinda feels that's what happened. Phone fine one day, dead the next with no real explanation...

That's a bummer. I don't think that phone is dead, but it looks that it somehow locked itself. According to this guide https://flash-er.com/xiaomi-mi-5-flash-file/ you can flash fastboot roms only on unlocked devices. But you can't unlock it now in this state...

It's very weird, I've been flashing lots of stuff in the past but I've never been locked out like this.
And the joke is that the black Mi logo screen still says "unlocked" as it should be... no idea, maybe it is programmed to just give up after some years.
Could be that your TWRP recovery is corrupted. You can install new one from a fastboot mode:
1. Copy latest twrp-3.5.2_9-0-gemini.img to your fastboot tools location on PC
2. Put the phone in fastboot mode (power + volume down) and connect it to the computer
3. Enter these commands in cmd prompt:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.5.2_9-0-gemini.img
fastboot boot twrp-3.5.2_9-0-gemini.img
Then the phone will boot into new TWRP so you can check if it's ok.

You mean minimal adb ? or can you provide a link?
Connect the phone in fastboot mode (LED = blue) and open the device manager. Do you see the phone under "Other Devices" or "Android" with an exclamation mark? Then you need an ADB/bootloader interface driver. Get this for example:
https://developer.sony.com/file/download/xperia-xz2-driver/
(Yes, XZ2! There is no official XA2 driver)
Unzip it somewhere and force install the driver:
Right click on the device manager entry from above, "Update driver", "Browse my computer...", "Let me pick...", "List/show all...", "Have disk...", browse to the folder from above, open the selected .inf file and install.
Fastboot should work now. At least that's how I got it to work on a new PC.
BTW, just use "fastboot devices" to check whether it works. If your device doesn't appear, you don't need to try other fastboot commands - it won't work.

I agree with faraway, if i remember correctly when i had this issue i didn't unlock the bootloader.
I typed a specific number in the phone dial app and it said that the bootloader is unlocked, however there is another step you need to take that i had overlooked, you need a bootloader unlock code.
The code is free, not like with chinese spyware huawai they want your money for the code...

What is your end goal? To flash a custom ROM like LineageOS? Then you can temporarily flash a recovery image to the boot partition:
fastboot flash boot <recovery_filename>.img
You don't really need TWRP for this, just use the latest official LOS Recovery:
https://download.lineageos.org/pioneer
Also see: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/pioneer/install
Or do you want to "permanently" install TWRP on an existing system? Then you need to directly boot into TWRP and install it from its GUI:
fastboot boot <twrp_filename>.img
See: https://twrp.me/sony/sonyxperiaxa2.html
I haven't tried the latter on the XA2 yet though and don't know how permanent that installation really is. It maybe gone after an OTA update.

Independent from the bootloader status: you can't flash an image directly to the recovery partition on the XA2/Pioneer (like he tried, see screenshot) because such a dedicated partition doesn't exist on this and other A/B devices. Instead the recovery is built into the boot image.
That's why you have to use fastboot flash boot instead of recovery.

follow the next steps you mentioned use: fastboot flash boot recovery from LineageOS, and my phone went into a constant boot shutdown and restart, then this message appeared
and the bootloader is open
Shutdown the phone after flashing the recovery image (it doesn't seem like you did that). Then hold Volume Down + Power to boot into recovery.

I get that the recovery is only for a temporary boot, when i tried it, it didn't work but i can't remember what the error was.
So I restarted my phone today and it just entered an infinite boot loop. Not sure what happened but that's all it's doing whenever I turn it on. I can enter the bootloader but other than that nothing is working. I noticed the bootloader and baseband are empty as well.
I wish this phone had an unbrick tool like the oneplus 7 devices but I don't know. I guess I may just have a brick until someone shakes.

Have you tried flashing stock boot.img or factory resetting?

That's not good usually one or the other fixes it. Only thing I can think of is flashing all images in fastboot. But try vendor_boot first
When this happened to me on my OP6 when I had it and when I couldn't recover it with MSM tools or boot.img, I decided it is motherboard failure.
But I would try fastboot ROM if I were you. If it doesn't help, I will send it to the service center.
You may have booted a patched yet not made it permanent so when you rebooted you lost it.
If that rings a bell then just boot a patched boot image. Not flash.. once you're booted and in the system just open magisk and click direct install..
Reboot and it should be permanent.
Beyond that you can go to recovery or fastboot to get back in business although you'll lose your data
My phone did this once when I accidentally changed A/B partition, try switching partition via fastboot
Do the following
fastboot getvar all
then you'll get somewhere the following
(bootloader) current-slot:A or B
then you should be able to do either
fastboot set_active other
or either
fastboot set_active a
fastboot set_active b

I tried switching slots the other day, it gave me the same results.
hello did you found any solutions?

That means you have no boot img on it
try to flash a boot img to slot a and slot b
Is this still ongoing?? Lol that's insanity.
The reason you cannot boot is 100% your boot image.
So either boot or flash a boot image (stock or patched)
If you'd like to reflash your whole phone then click on vol up and then recovery.
If you're looking for a tool then grab fastboot enhance, whilst in fastboot use it to remove the cow files, search for them, once that's done, flash a payload.bin and this will reload your whole OS.
There are guides for everything I've mentioned above, just search.

Hi,
I have the same problem. Never used the phone. Just to install Magisk and edit the payload.bin file. When I installed the new boot file via Fastboot it went wrong.
Tried everything but can't get the phone out of the loop. I don't have a recovery function!
You indicate that there are manuals for existing solutions everywhere. Do you have the links for me? Not very good at finding this.

Doesn't help that the forums went through a crap update that broke the sections.
That being said, you're looking for a guide so that's your key word.
(Guide) Rooting, payload dumper, magisk_patched guides NE2213
Hi all, Thought i'd share a guide on how to get these boot images yourself as well as all the files required, plus the patched boot.img if you just want to go ahead and boot/flash it without obtaining one yourself Please read the process before...
forum.xda-developers.com
There's a good few of them, the screen shot is taken from the main OnePlus 10 pro forum section, I can see two. Mine and the 2215 one.
Also when you say 'installed' I hope you meant boot and not flash, booting is risk free.. Read my thread and it'll make sense.
I wish people would read more...cause it all here...just need to take the time and read alot of post...to find what they are looking for...lol
Hi,

Tried to update it to the latest C26 update locally. after it extracted, just rebooted without permission and I lost root.
opened magisk and there no option to inactive slot after ota.
booted into fastboot and flashed magisk patched boot. when it booted, opened magisk and there an option to write to inactive slot. did it.

Can I recover it somehow ? what should i don next ?

This is probably the cause of the issue. Magisk switched your active slot to the previous one which becomes unbootable after the update completes successfully. You should be able to switch back to your working slot by doing fastboot --set-active=other, although I'm not 100% sure this is right solution I think it's a reasonable one. I'm always a bit scared suggesting solutions to people who have a recent OnePlus phone since they can't unbrick it if they end up in a hard brick.

Is your phone in bootloader mode and recognized by fastboot? Can you send a screenshot of the command + error?

Boot the Magisk patched boot.img (don't flash it!). Then go into Magisk and do a direct install (DON'T do install to inactive slot). Then reboot and check if root is still there.

You can use the one you already have, you just need to do fastboot boot magisk_patched.img (or whatever it's called) instead of fastboot flash.

Are you sure you're in bootloader mode and not fastbootd?

adb reboot fastboot reboots you to fastbootd, not bootloader mode! You need to do adb reboot bootloader.

OK, finally everything worked. I'm a little bit rusty (my first android was HTC desire back in 2010).
Thank you very much, You really saved me a lot of time and frustration !!! I already started to think how to get all the data back.
I really appreciate your help !!!
THank you again.
Lior
You're welcome!
