My a2 fastboot disappeared - Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers

My MI A2 crashed on the home screen, so I thought to use the flash mi and put the rom stock in it to get back to the original, I had root and bootloader unlocked.
I used the xiaomi aplacative and installed the original rom, it worked but my fastboot mode disappeared, instead it's just a black screen.
Does anyone know a way for me to recover fastboot? I want to use gcam, for that I need root.
I think I'm in EDL mode which I entered to install the stock rom, but now I do not know how to get back to the fastboot.

Send pics i had the same problem it's black fastboot And mi.com logo

If you are in EDL mode, you could flash stock via MiFlash.

Your fastboot should be working fine eventough it only shows black screen. If you flashed stock in EDL-mode it leaves splash partition out and that's why you have blank black screen in fastboot mode. You just need to flash splash.img in fastboot mode using code:
Code:
fastboot flash splash splash.img
.

I was able to solve the problem
I was able to solve the problem, I used the toolkit for the MI A2 provided by the friend "Daha3ker", I used the version V 1.0.5. This tool literally revived my smartphone and returned it to stock rom, until I was able to upgrade via OTA to the February update.
In the Toolkit menu I used option 3 (UNBRICK / REVERT TO STOCK). I want to express my thanks to Daha3ker for developing this tool and thanks to XDA.

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

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.

I had this problem too. I was trying to flash stock jasmine rom from my amd ryzen pc and this happened. It was the first time I was using ryzen pc for flashing. In a reddit post, I saw this: "fastboot is broken on ryzen pcs". Then I tried to flash from my intel laptop and problem solved.

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.
