[Bootloop] Xiaomi Mi A2 - PIE - Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers

Personally, today I received the update of the "December 2018" Security Patch from my Mi A2 (Already with the Pie), but after "extracting the files, updating the apps" and request to reboot, my cell phone does not exit the ANDROID screen anymore ONE.
It stays on this screen until it turns off again (automatic).
Did someone else do that?
Do you know how to correct this error ??
Thank you!

Do you have unloked bootloader?

I have already tried to access recovery, as well as reboot the bootloader through the fastboot, but nothing. He either enters the Fastboot, or stands still on the Android One screen.
I can not unlock Bootloader because it has no way to enable usb debugging and disable oem locking since it does not access the system.

Im in the same exact situation. Got the update and phone gets stuck at boot screen.:crying:

You have to enter Edl mode and flash rom with mi flash. I had the same problem and solved it. this is the only way for the lock bootloader.

I have just received this OTA and now I don't know if I should install it, were you root user or did you have modified the software? Mabye a Magisk module not being deactivated/uninstalled before the OTA caused your bootloop...

Doing this wont void the warranty?

i have the same problem but my bootloader is unlocked. i dont want to lose my userdata, what should i do?

Have you got TWRP or any other custom recovery installed? If not, install it and copy your data from there to your PC, then flash again all software partitions and when you reboot your device, restore the backup. It should work...
If not, you can try the experimental way and flash again all the partitions except userdata, but I'm not sure this way will work...

once i unlocked the bootloader i didnt do fastboot unlock critical. but i need it to flash the partitions. if i do it know will all userdate be erased?

Just use flash_all_except_data script. It worked for me with extracted ota payload, and you can now use full fastboot 10.0.2.0 image - link is available.

Unlocking will wipe all userdata. This is why I always unlock everything right after buying the phone.

Same problem here
I also got the exact same problem: stuck in androidone screen, with a locked bootloader. I did not want it to open it myself to avoid losing the warranty, so I have sent it back to the seller (eGlobalCentralUK), they should be able to fix it easily...
I find it very disturbing that Xiaomi has not been helpful giving a solution (they just kept referring me to the seller) , even though they are clearly to blame...

Same problem for me too. I'm struggling with it for four days with it.
Sending the phone back is my last resort, I prefer a DIY solution.
Unlocking the bootloader is the problem at this moment. When it is unlocked I can reflash the stock android ROM again and hopefully the phone will work again.

[OTA] Huawei Mate S Firmware C432B321/C900B321 [MM] [Beta] - FRP Unlock enabled!

A few days ago some users enrolled in MM beta program started receiving new B321 OTA, so I flashed it on top of my B303 MM and so far all good.
Apart from feeling really butter smooth and including WPS Office, Developer Options now again include OEM Unlock option(FRP unlock), solving the no bootloader unlock on MM issue.
Be sure to be on B303 MM stock recovery, extract the \dload folder from zip and place it on root of external SD card;
Get into Advanced Project Menu by dialing *#*#2846579159#*#*
Go to the bottom and select "HOTA Update"
Wait for reboot, EMUI will verify, install and optimize -took about 15 minutes, so be patient.
What I noticed is that on B321 Advanced Project Menu is gone, only standard(*#*#2846579#*#*) is available.

hi, in dload folder, we have two files. which one should we use?
put the hole zip into dload and start the hota-update
Hi.
So i updated to this firmware and got the unlock OEM option, and i unlocked it, got into fastboot mode (well the FRP lock screen that showed b4 when i didn't have the oem unlock option). I did the fastboot unlock process with the oem unlock key i got from Huawei website and it said it unlocked sucessfully, but i have no changes, everytime i try to go into bootloader it says that it is FRP locked :/
Any ideas?

Isn't FRP unlock different to bootloader Unlock?
Well basicly i get the same screen as if my phone was still FRP locked :s even tho i enabled oem unlock in dev settings..

You must activate the "Unlock OEM" option, reboot into fastboot and make sure you have "FRP: Unlocked" in red text. Once you confirm this use the bootloader unlock key provided by Huawei.
Well for me it says FRP locked :/ even tho i enabled oem unblock.

And from that screen have your run the appropriate command in fastboot using CMD in windows and the key you received from Huaweiupdateextractor?

Battery consumption seems a little higher on B321...will need to keep an eye on it over the next few days
If you mean bootload unlock key yeah i have done it. Still only screen i get is FRP locked

If in fastboot screen(picture, maybe?) you have BL unlocked/FRP locked I understand you have previously unlocked BL while on Lollipop and then somehow FRP re-locked again, maybe wrong TWRP restore...
No thats the thing i didnt have BL unlocked when in lollipop
I have managed to update to b321 from b303 version with little / no issue. Everything seems OK apart from a small annoyance - the haptic feedback for navigation buttons has stopped working. I've checked all settings and all seems OK. This was working fine on b303 so maybe it's a bug? Anyone else experiencing this?

I'm not sure if it's a bug but I prefer it without the vibration....I was of the understanding that the bug was that it couldn't be turned off in lollipop so I think if anything it's fix.
Battery drain is my biggest concern... On mobile data it's appalling...can't wait to go back to lollipop

I've checked this on my honor 7 and seems to work ok (e.g. haptic feedback for navigation buttons works) so I'm pretty sure it's not correct on mate s. I'll try factor reset and see if that cures the problem. - unless anyone else has any better ideas
So I am still on 303. will it be possible to flash the 321, then unlock the bootloader, flash custom recovery and thereafter restore an update of someone that provided a clean lollipop build via twrp?
As long as there isn't official 6.0 I would really like to get back to 5.1.1 xD
But my guess is we I still have to wait for a rollback firmware...

@bgx thanks for suggestion. Tried that and still no joy. I suspect it's a bug tbh. I'll try a factory reset tomorrow and see if that cures the problem. Not a massive problem but annoying as hell.

Bootloop after recent Android OTA Update

Hello Community,
i have a Problem after the installation of the newest android Update (OTA).
The A2 just Boot till the white AndroidOne Logo and it hangs there after a time it seems it shut down itself.
My Device:
-USB Debugging is disabled, its a new testing device.
-I cant boot in recovery mode (vol-UP+Power) just boots to the white androidOne Screen and there it hangs
- I can enter fastboot(VOL-Down+power) mode and the device is listed when i type fastboot devices in my terminal on pc
- when i fire up MiFlash tool it list my device after clicking refresh, if i want flash the latest FW (http://en.miui.com/download-353.html) i get the error:
error:"Flash bluetooth_a error"
- My bootloader is locked.
Question:
How can I flash a offical Android with a locked bootloader?
is it a good idea? or better send it back for a warranty solution (i dont want wait)
is there another way to solve my problem? i really dont know whats the problem is. i did not rooted the device or anything.
would be lovely if someone could help me. with an instruction what i can try.
Thank you very much and have a nice day
Regards
If you have enabled 'OEM Unlock' setting in Developer settings, you will probably be good, you can unlock bootloader(oem/flashing/critical) and flash the official ROM ( as per now, 10.0.2.0 )
If not, you have 2 options
-Boot into EDL using short points and flash from there
-Warranty
Same thing happened to a friend's phone, it wasn't touched and just went brick after 10.0.2.0 OTA.
Guess everyone should enable 'OEM Unlock' in case this happens(Data Encrypted anyway, worst case stolen phone better than the chance of brick every time an OTA comes)
edit: If you want to save your data, you obviously shouldn't try the bootloader unlock way...EDL flashing allows flashing without wiping data, but haven't tested that personally
wow really? that are bad news...
thank you anyway :crying:
maybe someone other got a idea?
regards
Lot of users faced this after today's update including myself. Since my bootloader is locked, only option left is EDL flashing by connecting motherboard test points.
Just an advice for everyone reading this message from a Xiaomi Android One device: ALWAYS KEEP UR BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED, IT DOESNT MATTER IF USB DEBUG ISNT ACTIVE, JUST UNLOCK BOOTLOADER
sorry for caps, is just an important thing, i also had the issue but with unlocked bootloader i solved it easily
Just flash using fastboot

I'm in your same situation
Exactly the same situation here... Waiting for a solution without losing warranty.
I think if your bootloader is not unlocked, the only possible solution left is to shorting the test points on motherboard. Those who have warranty can return the unit for claim. Yet another mess up from Xiaomi and this will be my last phone from them.

I can understand that. I will claim warranty because its new and i dont want do that test point thing.
on private i would buy and recommend xiaomi anyways but if you want these hardware for some enterprise things then better not.
Iam out of this Thread now but if you want talk here some more feel free.. maybe somebody can bring a solution for all you guys who face this problem but i think its not possible without a open BL or the TestPoint Method.

Hi. I'm with locked bootloader. I received new January update. No change - stock variant updated to Pie. So it's safe to update or waiting for new one? Mi A2 4/64 micron ram

Thank you very much for help. I have read both but unfortunately i can not UNLOCK my bootloader… when i was trying to unlock the bootloader through MI UNLOCK, it says "Current account is not bound to this device". Otherwise if this was succesful and i could unlock it, then it would be easy i believe.

Since you locked the boot loader, you'd have to flash (with fastboot) using the same flavor of miui which was installed. (example: chinese or eu variation), otherwise you won't be able to boot.

Yes, that i understood… There was EU variation with unlocked bootloader, which i do not know why, but okay…
But now i can not unlock it, it says, when i try to unlock it though fastboot with mi unlock, it says "Current acount is not bound to this device, ADD your acount and device in MIUI"s setting > developer options> mi unlock status.. but obviously i can not do it since i can not turn on my phone, its stuck on recovery mode.

First of all you need chinese mi assistant
Second you need try three versions of roms(eeu , china , global) but im pretty sure that your phone is chinese version that bought from gray market and they unlock bootloader to install global rom
After you download these tell me, i guide you
Be sure download recovery rom (not fastboot)
It has .zip extension not tgz

If you know how to sideload the rom then everything is become okay dont worry
After successful debrick you must bound you mi account to your phone and wait for bl unlock then reflash with mi flash tool and global rom
AND DONT LOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER AGAIN
Yes, unfortunately i do not know how to sidload the rom... But when i have Chinese rom downloaded then what do i do with that? I connect the phone through mi assistant and there it can be flashed?
I had the same thing happen. You need to force a firmware flash ?
I had someone on xda recommend an excellent recovery tool.
It's called 'miflashpro'. It can be hard to find the English version. I did eventually but actually unbricked my Mi9 with the Italian version.
99% chance your cell can be fixed this way
bricked too
I'm having the same problem here, after wipe in twrp mode my phone restart and i'm blocked on bootloader screen.

I did the same thing with a Mi CC9 relocked the bootloader by mistake thinking it was like any other android phone. Did you have a Xiaomi account associated with the phone and signed into after enabling oem unlock in developer options.
If tha'ts the case you can use https://en.miui.com/unlock/ tool from where but it checks your phone number to see whether its associated with mi unlock.
Otherwise you will have to use EDL method which involves disassembling back of phone and shorting out two pins to initialize EDL data transfer but you need a EDL associated account this (belief xiaomi has revoked everyone access to these)
Hello all members.I had same problem and I open this phone with suport from youtube .I try clean some connector and worming cpu and motherboard. After change the battery with new. When close the phone they suprised me and working good.After 10 hours again close and bricked. I try sake and again open .So....the real problem its not CPU and motherboard but some connector dont touch good. Sory for my English. I hope some other find which connector have problem in this phone and pm me. Now my MI 9 working good but I keep bickerful ...

Question Mi 11 Black Screen after Update to MIUI 12.0.9.0 RKBMIXM via Updater app

Please help fellow person in trouble here guys, i have so many data stored in the device and the device only shows Always on Display (AOD) running after the update finished and restart. Can somebody tell is it possible to at least get my data back? My bootloader are not unlocked and I use global device performing local update using zip via Updater app. Then suddenly the black screen happen after the device prompt to reboot :/
You flashed the whole rom or the ota update? Im asking because i flashed the same as you yesterday 12.0.9.0 RKBMIXM but my bootloader is unlocked and i flashed the whole rom file (3.1gb) and everythings working fine for me
Same thing happened to mine, when updating via updater, flashed whole 3.1gb, after updating then rebooted it got stuck on bootloader, so i factory reset then it got locked, had to go to service center as the password on my mi account wont work. My bootloader was locked also btw.
Seems like the locked bootloader is the problem. Can someone else confirm this?
Usually you can try to enter recovery mode to wipe data. Which will format the phone, because the version you're trying to flash isn't yet stable to flash. Hope this helps.
Yes, after flash and reboot it will become blank screen, but when try to turn off, the usual four icon menu will appear, just restart into recovery and wipe data will start the phone successfully.

Guys I want to have some infos on Xiaomi mi 11 lite 5g.. i just buy it and want to root, I think there is no recovery for the moment. For root, I need to unlock bootloader, and it wipe the entire phone. But after root, does it block OTA, or I have to relock to update and so on...thanks

It doesnt block OTA if you unlock bootloader. You will be able to get OTA as long as you have stock recovery

Redmi 9C bootloop issue

hello, i have a problem with my redmi 9c
my phone just started bootloping alone, i went to sleep and i woke up with my phone dead
the phone is stock, no root, no custom recovery and still with bootloader locked because i don't need features who need it, i can access fastboot but recovery is not posible to reach because Vol+/Power is useless, the phone do nothing pressing those buttons, only with Vol-/Power, so i can't make a factory reset or wipe data, the only thing what i did a couple of hours before the phone broke was change my security pattern (i don't think it's related anyway...), and it was 8 or 10 hours before the issue. sadly the phone warranty expired in january and i have nothing to do at this moment
the phone stops the bootloop after draining the battery, with the bootloader locked of course i'm unable to flash a stock rom, even with MiFlash
what could be the problem?
thanks! (and sorry for my bad english, spanish native here)

Hi, my first guess would be faulty hardware, for example a dead motherboard.
Is there any error when attempting to flash the Stock ROM with MiFlash? Afaik you should be able to flash Stock ROMs even with locked bootloader.

Thanks for the quick reply
MiFlash said "not allowed in locked state" and I guess it's because of locked bootloader, I should try with a specific stock rom?

Hmm okay, yeah that sounds like it's preventing you from flashing simply because your bootloader is locked.
Which Stock ROM did you try? Same as the currently installed version or an older one?

I tried with the last available rom and the previous one, automatic updates were disabled, but I know I updated the phone after buying it
I don't remember if the phone was running last version...
MiFlash should let me flash the phone with the same installed ROM even with bootloader locked?

If you tried an older firmware, it's possible that it didn't flash because of Xiaomi's "Anti-Rollback" Feature which exists to prevent users from Downgrading.
But yes, it should let you flash the same version afaik.
What Region is your Device? On Locked Bootloader you can only flash Firmwares that are from the same Region. (For example Global or EEA)

Alright, have you btw tried flashing directly via fastboot?
Meaning opening terminal and from there flashing all partitions one by one for example "fastboot flash boot boot.img" ?

Fastboot doesn't work either, said similar message related to locked bootloader
I'm downloading a couple of roms now

Oh okay then.
If in the worse case nothing works, your last (paid) solution would probably be to contact one of these "Mi Auth" Guys on Telegram. They have acess to Authorized Accounts that are able to flash your Phone in EDL Mode (might need to open your phone to short test-points though)
I had to pay them about 20€ to get my old Mi 11 (which I sold a while ago) running again after it got stuck in EDL Mode. :/
