MI A2 back to Stock Rom - Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers

Hi guys!
I have a little problem. A couple of days ago I soft bricked my phone,and there was a boot loop. But fortunatelly today I found the solution and now my phone working again. But I would like to revert everything because I cant uptade the system. When I uninstall the Magisk,and I restart the phone, I fall into the same problem,I got the boot loop and a lot of things. So I know the solution how to get out from the boot loop,but how can I restore my phone? I want to make a clean install and lock the bootloader.
Sorry my bad english

Unfortunately It's not working because the bootloader locked. And I cant do anything in fastboot mode. The only working command is fastboot boot xy.img. With this command I can boot my phone.

EDL mode?
Perhaps using test point to force edl and flash the rom thought miflash.

BRICKED - Changing Mi 5X ROM to Mi A1 Via EDL

Hello everyone, just get frustrated right now my brand new 5X Half-Bricked after trying to flash stock fastboot firmware of the A1 through EDL with mi flash. just over excited of this devices, as i'm not a new one on this stuff and things, so that i ignoring some post said that the mi A1 rom won't run/boot compatible with 5X. (some interesting post right here about 3 Variants Hacked Bootloader http://en.miui.com/thread-840402-1-1.html)
I put whole things needed togather (fastboot firmware of A1, and Mi5X, also Twrp and some of unbrick zip from the thread above) so i was thinking when everythings gone crazy and bad i just need to reverting back to stock fastboot firmware of MI5X and everything works fine.
i do backup my QCN file so the worst thing i losted the imei and baseband i just need to restore that backup. Then i start the stupid things with proud.
flashing the Mi A1 sucessfully without any error on mi-flash then power it on boom, as i predicted it won't be as easier and simple as that step. some error text appeared on my screen some related to bootloader things, okay i just go into fastboot and unlocking with type "fastboot oem unlock" done with success and thats also said in terminal. okay then i rebooted (no panic at all), so the warning text still, then appeared your system has been destroyed, okay than i put the mi A1 recovery and flashing that through the fastboot, its said error no such partitions "recovery"??? (bit panic here) but trying to type "fastboot boot tissot.img" (tissot the codename of A1) its boot and send me into recovery, flashing some A1 rom for 5X from xda still won't boot at all (start panic here ).
so everything i try here flashing stock miui also won;t even boot and see the homescreen. I give up and OK i just need to flash the stock 5X through EDL, rebooting to edl and then flashing the stock 5X and success flashing done without any error, so i rebooted but its only stuck at MI logo then restart itself (really PANIC), so i get into recovery (stock MIUI) and mybe wiping whole data and cache will help, but there's no changes still restart/rebooting itself , okay i need to flash again this time i downloding Develover versions, and put the devices into edl through test point this time (as now the bootloader are relocked after flashing the stock one).
after flasing done the device still won't even boot at all just stuck at MI logo, now i really need help anyone any advices will really help, thanks

I think you should not unlock the bootloader using the command fast boot OEM unlock,you should go to http://en.miui.com/unlock/ here and download the app to unlock it, and when you flash a new rom which is not miui,you must keep it unlock,do not fastboot OEM lock,that will cause it can not go into system and stuck in logo

Nope, that's the basic things and i really know how it works, As for now i''ve no ways to go / reach the homescreen at all, so i can't put my mi account in setting and linked the device into my acccount, its useless using the miunlock tools. And i can only do that commands right after i converted mine to A1 firmwares.
hi, finally, i know what problem you met, because i have met the same problem, the solution is ,you go to the fastboot ,first unlock the devices, then fastboot reboot,then you find you go to the system, then you go back to fastboot,and last ,you need to use the miflash to flash the rom,and it should work fine now,it seem when you are locked,the miflash can not really work
Last news, damn lucky bastard i'am got replaced units, lets see does we'll have some aosp goodies soon..

Use the mi unlock tool ,you can only unlock the phone when you are in fastboot mode,,turn off the phone,press the power and volume down bottom simultaneously,and you will be in fastboot mode

Locked Tiffany bootloader, stucked in bootloop after flashed in edl mode

Hi, I m fighting the last days trying to resurrect my mi 5x and I need any kind of tips, advice, inputs you can give
The whole story begun when my phone fell down a few days ago (not sure if it affected the whole situation). The phone after the fall was working normally(for a few hours) but later that day the battery depleted and it switched off. After I plugged it in the charger I tried to open it and it was in a weird mode. I could reach the white screen with the white logo of android and it stuck there for hours. I decided to flash it with a new rom and everything went south.
I will explain in steps all the attempts I have tried:
1) The bootloader was unlocked but it didn't leave me to flash the official Tissot rom that I had downloaded so I reboot my phone through fastboot cmb in edl mode and then with the Miflash tool I flashed the Tissot stock rom. v.9.6.4.0.
2) The phone hard bricked and I realized that I made a big mistake by flashing a rom from a different bootloader. ( I also realized at that point that I bought the phone with a custom A1 rom with a Tiffany bootloader).
3) I disassembled my phone and I put it in edl mode by using the test points and then I flashed it with a stock Tiffany rom by using Mi flash tools.
4) The phone was in a bootloop after the flash finished.
5) No actions could be made through fastboot and recovery because now the bootloader was locked.
6) After this, I tried several times flashing (in edl mode each time) all the stock Tiffany versions I could find online (stable or beta).
7) Every time after the flashing was done I was turning on the phone and it was again in bootloop.
8) At some point also I tried to side load an update of one of the tiffany's recovery rom (stable and beta) and I was getting an error that the rom is illegal and again bootloop.
The biggest problem is that I can' t unlock the bootloader through xiaomi unlock tool because the device was hardbricked and now my mi account is not bound with the device. If you can answer any of the following questions or if you have any idea you will save me!!!
1) Is there any way to unlock the bootloader?
2) Is there any reasonable explanation of why I am in a boot loop after flashing it with the proper tiffany fastboot rom?
3) Is by any chance the fall that the phone had before anything happen to affect the whole situation?
4) Is there any other way to flash a rom with locked bootloader?
Thank you very much!!!

yes ! I think I have tried all the possible ways to bring it back to life but the result is always the same. It is getting stacked in the boot screen with the mi logo and reboots.

MI A2 Black screen

Hi guys!
May I know if anybody here experienced black screen ? Screen has no image to display. Backlight is working, Led light is working when charging, fingerprint vibrates as well when A2 is turned on. I have tried replacing LCD display but black screen persists. What do you think is the problem?
Sent from my Mi 9 SE using Tapatalk
I have the same problem!!!! I try flash rom again but it persists
Yesterday it happened to me also.
The phone is working, the touch is working, but the lcd is black.
I even managed to recieve a call. Tried to restart the phone but its still black screen with working touch.
I can't find any solution...
Anybody found a solution??
My MI A2 is in black screen after updated to Wayne V11.0.6.0.PDCCNXM 20200509.
Tried to flash again, the screen didn't even turned on anymore, then used an UNBRICK WAYNE XIAOMI MI6X and it's back to black screen, been like this for 4 days now, should I start looking for a new phone? :crying:
Serial number: 23e3c4ee
Codename: wayne
Bootloader: locked
Anti version: 4
ROM: Wayne V11.0.6.0.PDCCNXM 20200509.
When I flash the ROM again, takes 100, 200 seconds only, and didn't change anything.

stop stressing . you have ARB4 so just flash a custom rom ...or flash only the LASTEST STOCK ROM ...you didn't listen and tried to flash another think ...so your phone went to hardbrick edl mode
your phone is fine it is just in a timeout edl mode
the only way to fully rescue it is by physically forcing testpoint then flashing LATEST FASTBOOT STOCK ...this time listen or stay on black screen

Already did it and gets worse, if I flash the latest fastboot Stock ROM really becomes a brick, to de point of not even the screen turns on and stay on edl mode forever.

because you are trying to downgrade
what you need to do is flash the LATEST chinese fastboot stock rom of Wayne or it will never work
you need to flash it with edl and miflash ( LATEST BETA)
you keep on thinking you can flash any stock rom but you can't ......
if you try to flash any stock rom older than the last stock rom you flashed it will never boot and keep going back to edl blackscreen
if you DON'T open your phonr and short the test point miflash will timeout or give errors and device wont boot
open your phone with screwdriver and flash the VERY latest chinese fastboot rom with latest miflash beta

What a heck are you talking about?
Already did everything with Mi flash, forced edl mode by point test, saw like 300 tutorials, for Mi A2, Mi 6x.
What I needed was a verified Mi account to unlock and flash with no problems

well if you had followed any of mine or listened carefully to what I'm telling you , your device would have booted already ... but continue in the same manner since you think my help is gibberish .
you don't need an account to flash your device ...

I already did, tried all the tutorials from 2018 to last month. The phone bootloader is locked and for some reason I can't unlock it, tried a dozen of different approaches, recovery's, flashings, ADB and everything.
Always ends in two ways, black screen with back light on (some sounds work and keeps in the lock login screen) or dead stuck in permanent EDL mode.
My phone still not working. Maybe its because of the busted display IC.

Xiaomi MI A2 Bricked, Bootloop. Can't get recognized in fastboot and EDL mode

Hello guys, so, today i was trying to install miui 9 in my mi a2, then later going to update to miui 10. I was trying to install by flash mode (XiaoMiFlash) Everything was going fine, until my windows accidently turned off for updates (RIP). When my pc turned on, i was desperately opening miflash as fast that i could, but then when i try to install again it was saying "cannot recieve hello packet". I tried to restart it thinking that would fix it, but its just stuck in a MI logo with mi.com screen(Bootloop). I was trying to unplug usb cable and then putting again trying to fix it, clicking refresh to see if it appears, but it doesn't. Same with fastboot mode, doesn't get recognized. I really need help to fix it and sorry if i wrote something wrong, english is not my native language.
Same problem happened with me today. Any Solution?
Are you able to boot into fastboot?
Something similar happened to me once with the A2.
I somehow too managed to interrupt some update process and got stuck in the same scenario.
I could resolve it by getting one of these now superseded fastboot stock files with some installer scripts in them.
The scripts also wouldn't work, but I could install the firmware files one by one manually, following the script's content.
First off though, you could try to get into fastboot mode (as mentioned before), boot the official twrp img and flash the latest firmware zip file from here
Then you could go ahead and flash miui for the A2 like any other custom ROM (or did you just post in the wrong section and actually got an 6X? - seeing that you used miflash, it really seems like it..
Just in case here is the right thread for downloading miui for the A2: A2 miui port)

Hey, sorry for not awnsering for a long time. Yes, i can enter in fastboot, but the problem is that my MI A2 doesn't get recognized. (nothing happens if i try to flash it in fastboot mode).
i same that trouble, i can try to bootloader but when i connect usb to my pc it not recognized, i don't run anycommand from my PC,

May be your fastboot process failed...try again or go to recovery and clean all usure data
i tried,but now my phone is a pricey brick.
never again an mtk devices.
I have suffered this situation few days ago, I was using platform-tool to install MIUI 12.01 recovery rom using flash_all.bat but got bootloop everytime. Then I tried to flash the fastboot rom via Miflash tool and finally it booted up, it also re-locked bootloader after flashing, but the phone is live again!
I also tried to Wipe User Data in Recovery ([Volume up] + [Power]) before flashed the ROM with Miflash. Didn't know if it'd fixed the problem.
Have you try spflash tool yet?
fortunately i was able to recover the device using miflashtool then i sold it and i bought a redmi 9s
dont buy mtk devices guys,worst experience ever
You must know what you do on MTK than its ok!!!
