Hi, I need some help with my Mi A2.
I tried to install the RR Rom and was already struggeling in the beginning to get twrp up and running, after I got twrp running Ive got, while trying to install the RR rom (yes I did wipe everything that needed to be btw) error code 1 . So I tried to just shut my phone off and retried the installation after being back in twrp. and it did sort of install, I wasnt getting any error this time but after rebooting or atleast trying to I was stuck in a bootloop. soooo, I went back into twrp and tried wiping everything except internal storage and did an factory reset. but now fastboot mode wont let me use any commands for example "fastboot boot twrp.img" it just responds with "command write failed" or something like that. and when trying to boot into the "system" I get an blackscreen with a smal text in the top left corner saying "press any key to shutdown".
I hope someone can help me I tried now for hours to get anything running.
as a side-note I am not that new to flashing roms but, I have no idea what I screwed up this time.
Thanks for anyone that tries to help!
Edit: Using MiFlash and downloading the stock room from Xiaomi worked.

Hey guys
So, long story short, i ended up in a bootloop after trying to install cm13 (it seems the problem is i forgot to wipe dalvik cache after flashing rom), my phone doesn't get past the manufacterer's logo si i can´t use adb and every time i try to get in to the recovery, it sticks on the TWRP logo for a while and then starts over rebooting, i can never get past the TWRP screen. The only place where it doesn't start rebooting again is at fastboot menu. Also, i read that i could always use RSD Lite, but despite i wouldn´t like to, i haven´t been able to get RSD to recognize my phone.
I don´t now is there is any obvious solution, i'm kind of a noobie.
Any help is appreciated, thank you very much

Flash a stock ROM, preferably LP and see if it works, this is done through fastboot, look around.

I faced the same problem here is what i did
flash the twrp2.8.x again in fastboot mode
boot into recovery
restore your backup if you have backedup your previous rom

Thanks man, as simple as it was, it worked <3
okay, i had a slim rom running on my fire (5.1.1) and tried to go to cm12 using flashfire. i made sure that wipe was at the top of the list. it got stuck on installing the new rom, so after 30 minutes i restarted tablet. i got stuck in the cm logo bootloop. i do still have access to the amazon stock recovery. tried to do a data wipe/factory reset. still stuck at logo bootloop. i tried to sideload the amazon stock bin file, but it stops after 5 seconds and says "failed to read command: invalid argument" and goes back to the recovery main menu. if you try to do another sideload, it instantly says "timed out waiting for package. installation aborted" before you even press anything. have to restart device to try sideloading again.
at one point i had it almost install cm12 from a zip file through sideload, but at the very end it gave me a signature verification fail. since i can't boot the phone, i can't turn on usb debugging. sometimes it'll show up in the device manager as mtp but never shows up as fire or android device or any of that. it will show up on adb devices command when its in fastboot, but can't do anything with it from there. i've tried all the different ways in the forums here and rootjunky, but nothing seems to work at all. any ideas if i'm doing something wrong or is this just bricked, regardless of stock recovery?
tried a few commands to see if i could fastboot one of the roms or stock images, but they all tell me its missing the android-info.txt

i started trying to get it going, but got the same results. eventually the battery died and it doesn't want to charge anymore, so hopefully i'm still under warranty. thanks for all the help though, been a reader here for a really long time. just sucks to get a hard brick for the first time. used a droid x for four years straight with a locked bootloader and never came across a problem like this

I fear I'm in the same boat. Which version of flash fire were you using?
Any further progress?

Hi, well it looks like i have probably hard bricked my phone. After updating to nougat i decided to do afresh clean install. I wanted my phone to as if i had just bought it and came with nougat/emui 5 installed. So i did a factory reset from within the settings menu. But then i thought i would completely erase everything and start from the latest build before nougat, so emui 4.1.2/ marshmallow. So after wiping all the partitions in twrp and then doing a volume up + power to do complete factory wipe followed by using the three button method to install the B130 UPDATE.APP in dload folder on my sdcard, all worked as expected. The update completed at 100% and then rebooted. So there i am waiting for my phone to boot to start the setup process as i have done dozens of times before...BUT...my phone will not boot to the initial setup wizard. It just stays stuck on the Honor logo pulsing animation for ever and ever and ever!!!!!!
So i do the volume up + power button to get to stock recovery and do factory wipe and cache wipe as well. It works as expected so i reboot and once again use the 3 button method to install the update.app on my sdcard. That works as expected and at 100% says its succeeded and reboots. Once again i wait for it to boot to the initial setup wizard but....ALAS...it stays on that DAMN pulsing Honor logo. Ive tried rebooting it several times, redoing the factory wipe and install several times, but nothing. Ive gone into fastboot mode (volume down + power) to try and flash the boot.img and system.img ive extracted from update.app but get the error message -- remote: command failed -- and the same if i try to unlock bootloader. Obviously its not going to work because my bootloader isnt unlocked and nor can i got in to developer settings to enable oem unlock and turn USB debugging on because my phone wont boot past that bloody honor logo.
The only thing i havent done yet is to use eRecovery but i dont have broadband and i doesnt seem to work over public wifi! So i will go to my friends tomorrow and use their broadband and hopefullly eRecovery will download/restore the latest firmware. The only other thing i can think of is to download the original nem-l51c432B102 that came with my phone when bought, extract the update.app file and replace the B130 i have on my sdcard dload folder at present.
Sorry for such a long post but i wanted to expalin evrything in detail to hopefully resolve my problem without going backwards and forwards with questions and answers and taking for ever.
So ANYONE and EVERYONE who managed to read the whole post, if you have even the slightest idea of how to get my phone working, please oh please share it with me. Also my phone is still under warranty so if i needed to send it to a huawei centre to get it fixed would they do it and do it for free??? because eseentialy all i did was a factory wipe/reset and install a frmware and it goes KAPUT!! thats not my fault right????!!???
Thank you to one and all for any wisdom you can share. :crying::crying:

Can you please edit your post ? Add some space, here and there if you want some help... It is nothing but pain for both eyes and mind to read you.
Onto related topic, did you manage to get your phone back to a functionnal state ? Note that the boot sequence can take time after a wipe so maybe it's not broken at all.
As for eRecovery, it never helped me to restore my device, tried on two different Wi-Fi networks after two completely unrelated issues.
Concerning warranty, I guess it depends on your country and where you bought your phone. I went to the carrier which provided me mine this morning since I ended up with a strong brick last night and I'll get a new phone in a couple of weeks.

finally a reply! okay so ill edit my post once ive finished replying to you. First off thanks for taking your time to read my post, i am most greatfull. In response to your questions,suggestions i can tell you:
i went to my friends, connected to their broadband and attempted to use eRecovey to update/restore my device. ALAS it did not work! I tried several times and it gets to downloading package from server only to end in a FAIL.. I got home tried connecting to public wifi and doing eRecovery but it just fails. So like you I have never managed to get eRecovery to work.
As for the booting sequence, as i explained before, whether i access stock recovery and wipe cache and wipe phone it does this no problem, reboots, only to get stuck on the honor logo boot animation. The same goes for installing updatte.app with three button method. it says its installed succesfully but does not get past the honor logo boot animation. Unfortunately your suggestion that it might just take a long time to boot is not the case I have left it for hours you see and it never gets to the setup wizard :crying:
As for warranty, i am in uk, bought the phone via amazon, and it was unlocked, so not from a carrier like you. So i guess ill just have to find my nearest huawei service centre and have them look at it.
Does anyone know the procedure as far as doing this. Do i phone them or email my problem and then send my phone to them or what?? Any help is very welcome.
Thanks for your time and patience.
Please, please help...i'm desperate
So sorry for my original long post people, i simply wanted to give as much detail and info as possible because being vague doesnt help anyone. It seems that might have worked against me.
Please,please any suggestions would be appreciated to the N'th degree! I have tried everything i can think of and i am truly desperate now. I dont understand why i cant get it to work...
I can go into stock recovery and wipe the cach and do factory reset and that works fine, no errors.
I can hold the 3 buttons down to install the firmware package(ive got update.app from B130 build) and that works fine, gets to 100% and says 'success' and then reboots, with no errors.
But either way the phone refuses to boot past the honor logo boot animation and ive left it for hours hoping,praying, it will work after the 32nd time...
I can access fastboot but that is useless because my bootloader is not unlocked and i cant get to developer options to enable 'usb debugging' and 'oem unlock'. So i just get error message 'remote: Command Failed' with any command i type.
But thats madness, i cant comprehend why it wont boot because everything seems to work!?!
There has to be a way to get my device functioning again.
I am pulling my hair out, i am at a complete loss, it doesn't make sense. PLEASE ANYONE ..... please help....
Thanks HONOR-able enthusiasts for any help, no matter how small! :good: :fingers-crossed: :angel:

??? hi, I.m sorry, i think you must of misread some of my post. I dont blame you, it was bloody long and confusing!
I only mentioned twrp in the very beggining to run you through the steps to my never ending being stuck on honor logo boot animation. I used TWRP to wipe all partitions and format. From there i used 3 button method to install the update.app(B130) on my sd-card. this was succesfull, no errors and rebooted. I didn't expect any problems. But as i explained it never gets past boot logo.
Obviously now, twrp has gone, i am back to stock recovery and my bootloader is locked.
*I can access stock recovery to wipe cache and wipe the phone no problem and all works with no error messages.
*I can access fastboot(bootloader) but the fastboot commands are useless because my bootloader is locked once again and i cant turn on usb debugging or oem unlock in developper options....because my phone wont boot past honor logo...
*Three button method works everytime, 100% success, no errors, reboots but guess what?? IT WONT GET PAST THAT DAMN HONOR BOOT LOGO!!!!!!!!!
Ive tried everything, but NO LUCK. I came up with this idea today though--- download theB130 rollback from nougat to MarshMallow update.zip. Extract the update.app and put that in my sd-card/dload folder and do 3 button install method.
I might even do the same with the nougat B350 just to cover all bases. So i am downloading now, gonna cross my fingers and any other body parts, pray to all the gods...and hopefully i wont be a crying,sniveling,howling piece of mess by tomorrow.
UNLESS OF COURSE SOMEONE HAS THE KNOWLEDGE I SEEK AND IS WILLING TO SHARE IT :fingers-crossed:

OK, sorry for the misunderstanding. Yeah, try that and if this is still not working, I guess all you can do is try the same with other packages.
ok so i used this toolkit for the MI A2 from this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/mi-a2-toolkit-unlock-bootloader-root-t3834585][Tool]
to unlock the bootloader, root the phone and enable camera2 API. And i had a little bit of issues with that as well but i got it working.
Now that was a few weeks ago and last night i accidentally slept in while watching videos on the phone without the phone plugged to the wall. So it drained and as i woke up i plugged it in and tried to turn it on but it was stuck on the boot screen (NOT bootloop, just stuck at android one screen) so i tried to fix the phone with the toolkit but then i suddenly got in bootloop (that problem i had the last time) so i tried to fix it the same time as last time. Said "last time problem" was that while trying to go into TWRP i got stuck on partition B (in my case normally the empty one) which resulted in a bootloop and i also couldn't access fastboot. It would always bootloop, so i tried to let it drain and then plug it in and immediately go into fastboot which seem to work and there i could change the partition back to A.
This time i thought it may be a similar problem and tried to solve it but i failed now i cant flash any partition (will add screenshot with prompt from toolkit), both of the partitions are bootlooping, i can still enter fastboot (now anytime i want to) and with the toolkit i can still access TWRP where i also tried to wipe cache (didnt't help) restore the phone (same) or wipe all the data and all resulted in failure. now im kind of lost at this prompt of the toolkit and my amateur guess is that my last resort may be the EDL mode but i dont know much about it and therefore i seek out for help
Best Regards

NEVERMIND, the phone started now as factory restored BUT i can't do anything really because i always get the prompt "Google-Framework-Services repeatedly stopps working" (my phone is in an other language so i translated it roughly). what should i do next? i dont want to mess this up more.
Edit:
Also i am currently on slot/partition B
You're probably trying to install a downgraded version, I highly doubt Mi A2 toolkit has been updated with the latest stock rom, you're better off downloading the stock rom from here and using the flash_all.bat file to do it.

how would i have to do that? im not fimiliar with the flash_all.bat
would this explain the toolkit prompt?
I just got an Xperia 1 ii (AT51) and I just wanted to install the Pixel Experience (12). I got the bootloader unlocked successfully, but I'm unable to boot to recovery (TWRP) - it fails with "unknown command". I'm able to flash TWRP into recovery, or even to boot, and my phone restarts to it, but it comes up for half a second showing TWRP screen, and then phone just restarts. Does this over and over, and only can ever see TWRP screen for a few seconds.
When I get to instructions in a ROM for fastboot flash system_a, it gives "no such partition" error.
My phone is currently running A12, so I'm not sure if that has something to do with it, but it seems like at this point there is no way to flash a custom ROM to this phone. Or at least an up to date one, maybe an old one if you flash back somehow to A10 or something. Thoughts? Is this the case?
Thanks!

Thank you for absolutely nothing. Anyone else have any information?
Fine; current TWRP does not support A12
