fastboot & general device issue - Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers

so I wanted to convert from stock android on the MI A2 to MIUI.
had to unlock the bootloader first so i did that and that's when the issue started, when I try to execute any fastboot command it will almost always fail unless I spam it or enter the command first in the fastboot CMD then boot the device into fastboot and the command then executes successfully, doesn't sound like a big deal but its quite annoying.
anyway, managed to go through that and installed MIUI9 successfully, installed MIUI10, used it for a couple of days but then decided to go back to stock android because MIUI was just consuming more battery than stock does.
so I connected my phone to the PC, put it in EDL mode, used QFIL to install the stock android image and it installed successfully but now the real issue starts.
whenever i connect my phone to the PC, the PC reads it as the 6X not the A2, nothing major, i said when i saw that but then i tried the camera...doesnt work...just blank black screen whenever i launch the camera, auto rotate doesn't work, all of the contacts i had appeared in the contacts app with their names but in an application like WhatsApp it only shows the number.
only fix i could find so far was to install the pixel experience ROM (only ROM i tried) which fixed everything except for the autorotate.
any idea how to fix the phone back to its original state?
my guess is that the kernel got botched when I switched from stock to miui9 and didn't fix itself when I flashed the stock android again, not sure tho, I am not a developer and don't know much.
thanks for the help in advance.

update
ok so after messing around abit i found a...diagnositc for the problem? not sure what to call it
installed CPU-z and checked the sensors tap and it shows blank so either the gyroscope, accelerometer and other sensors drivers in the kernel are corrupted/messed up, the ROM just doesnt read them or they are somehow disabled.
is there anyway i can get the original stock android one kernel?

Question regarding bootloop

Hi all,
First of let me start by saying I have a Mi 9T and I know that it has its own forum, but I didn't find a solution to my problem there, so I thought I'd ask in this forum as well, since the devices look a lot like each other but here are more people.
So my problem is I got stuck in a bootloop which I can't seem to get out of. I can boot into fastboot mode and adb fastboot AND Miflash recognize my device, so I'm able to flash things, but the bootloop still stays.
I started on global rom, and then installed twrp. Then I flashed the latest 9.7.25 ROM from mi-globe for MI 9T. It booted up fine, but my TWRP was removed and I couldn't install it anymore like the first time. For some reason I did a factory reset then. And tried to flash a new ROM by using MiFlash. It said it was succesfull, but it only took 1 second and it didn't automatically boot (it stayed in fastboot mode). I tried again and it said anti-rollback error.
So that didn't work, so I tried flashing boot.img, recovery.img and system,img seperately by using adb fastboot. That worked and it booted normally. I went through the startup configuration like selecting wifi network and gmail,etc. But after trying to set a fingerprint, the screen went completely black but the phone was still on. I could reboot it normally, but when the lockscreen came up or I tried to use fingerprint scanner it went black completeley every time.
I was desperate, so I used 'fastboot erase system -w' in adb fastboot, which is a factory reset apparently. Then I flashed the 3 .img files like I did before, but this time it didn't boot, but went into bootloop.
I also tried 'fastboot boot twrp.img' which also didn't get me into twrp, it just goes to bootloop again.
So to summarize: I CAN get into fastboot and adb fastboot and miflash DO recognize my device, but I can't get out of bootloop no matter what I flash.
Does anyone know a solution for this problem? I would be very thankful.
I also don't understand why flashing or booting TWRP doesn't work, while it worked the first time. I also don't understand why flashing the 3 .img files doesn't work this time, like it used to work the first time.
Btw my anti getvar is 1.
Are you using windows 10? Had same issue with MiFlash and had to use a laptop with earlier version of Windows to get it working

I do, but I don't have anything else than that. Are you sure that was the problem and not something else?

I've not had your issue but that was causing the flash tool to just carry out the task in 1 second, which isn't possible
i have the same situation here. did your issue solve?

Xiaomi Mi 9 stuck in a bootloop, now with no OS. Help needed

Yeah, I'm not feeling very smart right now.
Short story:
Accidentally wiped OS in TWRP, now only seem to have access to fastboot. Can I fix this? Flash another ROM? Anything? Bootloader is unlocked, can't seem to get into TWRP anymore. Power + Volume up only takes me to fastboot again.
Long story:
Magisk module caused a bootloop. Wanting to try and avoid a factory reset, I tried sideloading Magisk for TWRP which didn't work, ultimately gave up and wanted to perform a factory reset via TWRP, but I've been working late and ticked the wrong box without thinking. Bad idea, I know. Wiped system, yes.
Aside from feeling exceptionally stupid, can this situation be salvaged? The phone doesn't switch off, it just sits in fastboot. I have Minimal ADB and Fastboot on my PC. Any help will be greatly appreciated, really.
Just in case anyone else ends up with a similar problem, the resolution was fortunately rather straightforward - I needed to grab the Mi Flash tool (as it turns out, this version worked best), stock firmware for my version, go into fastboot (which was no issue as that was the only thing my phone would do) and then open the Mi Flash tool and flashing the firmware was pretty straightforward from there. I even managed to get a BSOD during the process, but it's not like it could get any worse, anyway. Rebooted, restarted the process and about 10-15 minutes later, my phone was happily booting again.

With Fastboot mode and Mi flash as fail safes , we can flash to our hears content with no worries !
Also a more automated tool is a custom mi flash tool by a developer called XiaimiToolV2 ,which has a dedicated mode for bricked phones or downloads the latest fastboot roms for you.

I had excaxtly that witha my mi5 , completely dead .
Leave it on the charger for a little bit,mine after an unsuccessful flash with mi flash (catastrophic error message) it turned back on.
IF not download XiaomiTool V2 and try the option for bricked phones.
I tried that yesterday but that option is still in development. Only the modifications one is supported currently. As for the issue mentioned, maybe it's really just a matter of charging the phone first. Can't hurt either way.

Try to use the EDL mode
How to force it to EDL by key combination or maybe deep flash cable ?
My Mi account is authorized for EDL flash but I cant get Mi9 into EDL mode on my PC ( Windows10 )
No OS, but working TWRP
Hi,
I have a similar problem with my mi 9.
I followed a really bad description for the update xiaomi.eu from MIUI10 to MIUI11.
https://www.chinahandys.net/xiaomi-eu-rom-update/
It recomended to wipe alvik / Art Cache, Cache AND System :crying:
So I do not have no OS any more. However, TRWP is still working.
I have a Backup but it did not work :crying:
Is there a better option than the Mi Flash tool?
Please help me!
Since you already have TWRP, download the latest Xiaomi.eu custom ROM available for the Mi 9, which is 9.11.7 to your computer.
Also download the latest TWRP by Mauronofrio from XDA which is 3.3.1-42.
Then use adb to transfer both the ROM and TWRP to your Mi 9.
In TWRP, install TWRP first and manually reboot to twrp using the vol up + power button.
In TWRP, install the ROM, do a factory reset, then finally reboot.

Thank you very much for your reply.
When I tried to make my TWRP backup work I had several problems.
First was "vendor read only". So I went in TWRP to "mount" and unticked the "mount vendor partition read-only" (sounds easy, took me some time to find out)
Then I was able to do the restore without error message. However just boot loop and only the possibility to access TWRP.
After some while I realized that this restored the wiped system partition.
So I flashed the aktual MIUI 11 9.11.7 again and rebooted.
And it worked perfectly! :victory:
I did no Factory reset all the time, it seems that everything is perfect!
No lags, no problems with the camera, no issues with auto rotation.

Help with rom

So i flashed The pixelrom for mi8, and so far so good, but now i want to install magisk and twrp is gone, it was replaced with the stock recovery, and now when i try to do the exact same process with xiaomitoolv2 he detects my phone has pixel 4 and doesn't detect, i tried fastboot but it doesn't work either, Im running xubuntu x64
https://i.imgur.com/J9E6QmWl.png
EDIT: AFTER SEEING SOME POSTS HERE ON XDA I MANAGED TO USE XIAOMI MI FLASH TOOL WITH SUCCESS!, I NEEDED A USB HUB AND CONNECT THE PHONE IN FASTBOOT AND THEN APPLY THE STOCK IMAGES!, ANYONE WHO NEEDS HELP THIS SOLUTION CAN WORK ( ALL MY 3 USB PORTS DIDN'T WORK, WITH HUB IT WORKED )

You do not have fastboot? ( think its more likely that you just can see the fastboot screen, but the phone is likely in fastboot mode. Because it sounds like you flashed a custom splash screen, which is causing your fastboot screen to not come up.
Also It seems that you missed some of the steps outlined in the install instructions for the Pixel rom ( I assume the Pixel 3 Q rom?)
You must install Magisk on that rom, you must use recommended TWRP,
I haven't used Ubuntu for flashing Roms recently so I can't provide solid recent steps on Ubuntu.
So I would suggest using a PC , ( surely you know someone with a PC) Enter fastboot, then you can verify that the phone actually can enter fastboot by checking Device manager, or by verifying that the phone is seen by ADB
If you are unable to access fastboot, you will need to go into EDL mode. Once in EDL
Download fastboot dipper images rom, and use flashall.bat method to restore the phone.
Download dipper_global_images_9.6.27_20190627.0000.00_9.0_global or a newer fastboot rom such as 10 .3..5 But It has to be a fastboot rom and not a Recovery rom
Unpack the rom twice on your desktop
You will be left with a folder and inside you will see batch files and a image folder.
Doubleclick Flashall.bat ( be careful on what you click, you want flashall.bat only) with the phone attached an in Recovery mode, fastboot or EDL
Flashall.bat is a batch script that will wipe your phone and restore all images, and then boot to system.
You should then Setup rom
Afterwards install TWRP and root then create a full Twrp backup and save to your PC.
This way you will have a quick solution if you ever need it again in the future.

Any images fastboot rom will work, you can use the one I listed above or you can use the recent 10.3.5 Stable images rom, just find the link via Google.
I just spent 20 minutes typing this, so be considerate and click thanks or send me a beer if you want.

And also I only went Linux because on Windows the phone was getting detected but wasn't working, and Linux was detecting and working with xiaomitoolv2

If you are using linux and successful rebooted the phone into fastboot mode, just try to replace the recovery.
Download the recent version of TWRP for your phone and move it to the fastboot directory then open a shell in that directory.
Type in your shell: "sudo fastboot flash recovery yourtwrpimage.img"
Now, unplug the USB and you MUST reboot and immediately hold down the upvolume and power until the TWRP boots. If you miss it, the system will replace the stock recovery image again and you will have to start over.
You can then individually flash the partition images of your choice or ROM ZIP file, but you will still have to flash the full fastboot images after you get the phone recognizing as an mi8.

Did you try as @Agimax suggested? You have shown that the device is seen in fastboot. If you can push recovery to the phone then the issue will be easily resolved.
You should also be able to use this modified MiFlash : https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/tool-miflash-linux-t3708847
( Maybe you are already using this?)
I have also had the issue in the past where fastboot was available but attempting to push recovery failed. In some cases trying alternate versions of TWRP would work, and for me fastboot flashall will usually always work.
Another option is to push the images from the images folder individually. if one fails go to the next and then come back and retry the images that failed the first time. (Edit: I just reread Agimax post above, he mentioned this already.)
If you are in EDL mode you should be able to restore the stock images without receiving the error message You can enter EDL without opening the device, either by using a EDL deep flash cable or https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/guide-reboot-to-edl-mode-fastboot-test-t3398718
Another option ( requires a PC) is QPST, which I have used a lot in the past, its quick and easy to use. : https://miui.blog/any-devices/qualcomm-qpst-tool/

Your solution worked with the phone in fastboot, but i had to try a usb hub, that's all, has for roms, experienced both of pixelrom3 and havoc and didn't conviced me enough, i find miui 11 of xiaomi.eu more good looking and doesn't have bugs, and thank you, you are a lifesafer, if it wasn't for that i would have never flashed stock rom back

That's great sorry for being late to respond, I haven't had time to check XDA for a couple of days. But I an really glad that you got everything sorted out.
BTW, I agree about Xiaomi.EU, and I also find it to be the most stable...by far. Plus, it's obviously the most up to date. No doubt that AOSP roms are fun, but also very unpredictable. I keep Xaiomi.EU on mi daily driver, ( the Mi8) and I tinker around with AOSP roms on my old phones.
Take care

Currently on miui 11 on mine, and it's perfect, like the design vs miui 10 from official, it's fast and stable, only thing is that some apps that use gps are sometimes bugged, and does your mi8 drain battery a bit faster than in miui 10?

Yeah, I don't think that they have that part completely sorted yet. I definitely had better battery life on the last Xiaomi.EU Pie rom. But its not too bad with this latest version. Checking Gsam battery manager just now my average is 7HR's 6 Min SOT Whereas with the Miui 11 Xiaomi EU Chinese Stable rom, I averages about 10 hrs SOT ( If I remember correctly)
Personally, I am not having any app issues.
Usually if I had a permissions issues after restoring apps, I would just uninstall and reinstall the app and that will usually take care of any issues. Another thing to check , is t make sure that any problem apps have the right permissions enabled.

I am also using the Xiaomi EU rom because I want to use Android 10, and as I mentioned for me the battery life is fine. So I wouldn't recommend changing.
If you having app issues, see if there is a beta version of that app.

Redmi Note 3 , lot of hardware components not working

So my redmi note 3 stopped charging and the charge was finished.
During this lockdown, I found a shop that was open so I decided to give it there. The guy told that the charging board got short and needed it to be replaced. He replaced it and charged me 10USD.
But he said that, while replacing the board the software was gone and phone was stuck in a bootloop. I said I can fix that myself and I brought it home.
I tried installing the latest available stock ROM MIUI 10.2.1 global ,also tried MIUI 9.6.
But I encountered the same problem everywhere.
Back camera doesn't work, says can't connect to camera.
SIM card does not get detected.
Loudspeaker doesn't work.
WiFi works but you need to wait a while after rebooting the phone.
Brightness sensor doesn't work.
So I decided to give the phone back to the shop, he told me today that there is an error and he needs 15$ to repair it but it can't be done currently in this lockdown.
What might have happened to the device? I don't trust the shop person.
I’ve had some of the issues before. Brightness sensor and all other sensors didn't work, camera didn't work, WiFi didn't work. But for me the loudspeaker and SIM card worked.
All I had to do is flash the persist.img file.
- You should have an unlocked bootloader.
- The persist.img file should be located in the images folder of the zip file of the fastboot ROM.
- Copy it to the desktop.
- Run fastboot flash persist persist.img command in your PC while your phone is in fastboot mode and check if everything gets fixed.

Ur charging board will burn diode if u use 9v or 12v QC charger. Only 5v is safe for kenzo.
U dont need to throw that board. Just use tiny flat screw driver and scratch and remove the burnt diode from the board. Phone wil start charging again.
Local repair shops give cheap quality charging board. I bought 2 boards from ebay and aliexpress. One is HMFS and CTFS. both works fine with network.

Just collected my phone, dude told that my IMEI is erased and that is the reason why my phone is behaving like this ,
should I first flash persist.img or try something else?
The persist.img did not solve anything.
I'm trying to restore IMEI using different methods but I'm getting some problem.
What would be the best method to restore IMEI?
I have already unlocked bootloader and rooted my device.

I'm pretty sure that I used this or a similar approach to restoring note 3 IMEIs in the past.

Edit: I guess that that URL is banned or something so you'll have to Google it.

Question Can't install fastboot roms

Hi everyone, I'm writing this post to ask for your help regarding an issue that is driving me to exhaustion. I also apologize in advance for any errors. It all started after trying to overclock the gpu with the konabless app, previously the app made me make a backup of the vendor_boot image in case of post modification problems, so next i edited the frequencies of the gpu, I applied the changes, rebooted and BOOM, a phone freezed at mi logo. So I rebooted in twrp to reflash the stock vendor_boot image, and for my great intelligence I flashed it on the boot image partition, and what did I get? A phone stuck in fastboot.
Oh well, a phone that turns on in fastboot is not a big problem you'll say, and I thought the same as i previously had a problem and solved it by reflashing the stock rom in fastboot, so I took my nice computer (actually it's a 12 year old pc that runs on carbon, but that does its job), I opened the mi flash tool, connected the phone, selected the fastboot rom, precisely the EEA 12.5.7.0 (like the one natively installed before the damage) and started the installation. 20 minutes later ... error: cannot load bla bla bla, ok ok, i seached various solutions on Google and tried every metods, i changed the directory of the mi flash, of the rom, I updated the version of mi flash, i installed both on C:/ drive, reinstalled the drivers, i edited the batch file to remove the anti rollback but nothing, it arrives at flashing the super image and after some minutes it fails the flashing. Before you ask, YES, the bootloader was unlocked. I also tried to flash the rom in twrp, but ... the phone no longer had the twrp. The only way to start it was via command (fastboot boot twrp.img), the onekey injection did not make it permanent, and connecting the phone to the pc it revealed the device, but not the internal memory, I tried to make a format data but nothing. I managed to make it permanent only once, manually flashing only the vendor_boot and boot images in one of the boot_ * slots, in that case incredibly the pc also detected the internal partition, I copied the flashable rom and ... the twrp said to restart the recovery for I don't remember what, but basically I couldn't install the rom via twrp. At that point I finally gave up and took the phone to an authorized xiaomi service center where they fixed it (bye bye 25€), I don't know how exactly, I would opt through edl mode I think, and now i have my working phone...but heeeeeey, they flashed me the 12.0.1 TW version, not the EEA... Ahhhhh come on. They also re-locked the bootloader, so... agaaaain i re-unlocked the bootloader, this time i downloaded the unofficial tool xiaomi flash tool v2, it installed every needed driver, i clicked on "my phone works and i want to mod it", this time i tried to flash the global rom 12.5.7.9 and when it arrives at flashing the super image IT FAILS (fast boot flash_all failed, exit code:1, output: flash super error), and like a nightmare the phone was stuck in fastboot again, fool once but never fool twice, this time I had previously made a twrp backup of everything except the data partition, I install it and the phone restarts perfectly, I also notice that despite the attempted flash of the rom in fastboot after restoring the twrp backup without the data partition, nothing has been deleted from the data partition. So benevolent gods of xda, how the heck should I change rom region? Thanks for your attention and I hope I haven't stressed you out any more than I already am.
you are probably uploading rom miflashem pro and hence this error - I had the same. Use miflash's built-in pro miflash and it should go - it worked for me

1/ OMG, take your time, espace your words, compact your questions...
2/ For old configuration a user have fix adb/drivers/detection problem with an another driver pack, and a old is btter than the lastest for some old configuration (so if your conputeur jhave 12 years, maybe...)
So try to install this drivers here
Change your USB port and verify your cable
3/ If problem occur, change computer (family/friend computer), just for flash, for be sure it's a communication/usb/detection problem
PS : Finally, why trying to overclock a soc already overclock by Snapdragon and always overheat ? It's really want finding problems ^^
