GUYS Please help I'm Scared as hell, my K20 is stuck in fastboot mode and I don't know what to do! So here is what I did, I heard about the K20 Pro 81hz refresh rate Mod and the android 10, I couldn't find twrp for k20 so i decided to flash k20 pro's twrp (which probably was a big mistake!), I don't exactly remember what exact files i was flashing! I remember after flashing few files or just the twrp of k20 pro (i dont remember exactly) my phone was stuck in fastboot and is still now if i restart or go to recovery or anything it just leads me back to fastboot screen. I flashed android 10 recovery rom via fastboot,which i was not supposed to do, i didn't know the difference b/w the fastboot and recovery rom at that moment, but when i did i downloaded another rom but a stock rom for k20 fastboot variant I don't remember where I downloaded all the files but I downloaded the recovery rom from : https://www.xda-developers.com/download-miui-11-beta-now-for-13-xiaomi-devices-changelog/ and I downloaded the stock rom from : https://rootmygalaxy.net/redmi-k20-and-k20-pro-stock-firmware/ and I downloaded twrp recoveries from other sites, well I guess this is not important where i downloaded these. But after I try to flash the K20 Stock Rom by Mi Flash Tool (keep in mind i tried to flash the android 10 rom with mi flash tool also and that too by any all settings like clean all , keep data, clean all lock, i was just trying everything to get my phone to work! ) So then it gave me error of mismatching device so i searched on youtube to fix this error and tried it but still it wasn't flashing, then I thought maybe when I was trying to flash the android 10 rom many times I might have locked the boot loader, so i used the mi unlocker tool to see, i clicked on unlock it said it started the process, 3 step process of verifying device ,unlocking ,and done but it showed an error on the verifying device it said "can't get info, connect again ". This scares me have I locked the bootloader and now is there no way to unlock it or what??? I need your guys help please tell me what Rom I have to flash or what steps I have to take to get my phone working again! Please
I have a K20 Indian Variant, oh and yeah my bootloader was unlocked before I started to do all of this. I know what I have written might be confusing But PLEASE HELP ME!
Edit: and I also tried to flash the boot by getting boot image from android 10 rom, basically i just flashed randomly...
I also saw a few videos about the edl mode, i tried to get into edl mode and I got into edl mode so If there is a way to flash rom using edl mode do tell me
Edit: And I also think maybe the rom isn't flashing because I might have got the global rom or something can anyone send link to Indian K20 Stock Rom?
Edit: I just downloaded the k20 indian rom the correct one but when i flash through mi flash it says success in 1 second time that means my bootloader is locked but now ALL i need from YOU GUYS is to tell me How to Unlock it, I can't unlock it via Mi Unlock Tool, is there another method?

Bro first of all put the rom in a folder on the desktop (one folder and the files in it ) (not folder inside a folder)
Next copy the flashtool folder to the desktop also
Next edit the flash_all.bat and remove the commands up and keep only commands that starts with (fastboot)
And save.
Then choose the folder and then flash and make sure u choose only (clean all) and not (clean all and lock) from below goodluck bro hope the picture will make you understand
Alright lets start... I bought Mi 9 about 2 months. I just like to work with phones and mess up with Roms, recoverys, etc. I started it about 4-5 years ago with Samsung Galaxy Trend Plus. When i lost that phone i bought HTC M8 and also do the same (mess up with software). With Mi 9 i couldnt wait for Miui11 and tried to install it via Twrp. Unlocked bootloader installed Twrp via Fastboot, and every time when i restarted phone Miui stock recovery would overwrite Twrp. I searched everywhere and found some "solution". It was when you install Twrp via fastboot you need to write Fastboot boot Twrp.img, something like that im not really sure. Well that worked, kindof. Twrp would always appear but it cant boot into Android. And like always i tried to to solve it myself but i cant for two days of working without stopping i cant solve this. I tried to install different Rom (Miui 11 all versions) and it would install but wont boot. I tried Stock Miui Rom, i tried Factory img almost everything. Tried with adb, Miflash tool, All in one tool for Mi 9. I really love this phone i worked every day on summer for this phone. Thanks. If someone read this and want to help for more information just ask.

You need Miflash pro. Search for it. Sounds like you have some kind of recovery bootloop. If you can get your Mi9 to the fastboot (bootloader) screen then you can fix your cell an get it to boot . Trust me on this. I must of made flashing errors with my Mi9 maybe 20 times an got stuck in a fastboot loop.
Heres a link https://androidmtk.com/use-mi-flash-pro-download-xiaomi-firmware
Follow the guides an you should have a working Mi9 in under 20 minutes.
Sometimes there can be trouble getting the latest version of Miflash pro an it requires a bit of tinkering to flash with it.
Not sure that this would help but here is what I did to install Xiaomi.EU ROM in my Mi 9. I followed the guide from this forum here.
Prerequisite:
Download TWRP 3.3.1-42 for Cepheus from Mauronofrio here
Download Xiaomi.EU ROM here
Rename both files to twrp.img & rom.zip respectively (for easy typing later)
Steps:
Power off phone
Boot phone to fastboot - Vol Down + Power
type "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" without the double quotes
Power off phone
Boot phone to recovery - Vol Up + Power
Type "adb push rom.zip /tmp/" without the double quotes
In TWRP, go to Wipe-Format Data-type yes in TWRP
Then perform a Factory Reset in TWRP
Then flash ROM located in tmp
And finally reboot to system
I hope this helps.

Hello! Hoping someone can help and guide me in fixing my A2's bootloop. I already searched many forums online, but still no luck.
I flashed a permissiver_v5.zip in Evolution X Rom hoping that it will solve the random reboots, and I got bootloop. I successfully flashed the July stock rom through Miflash, hoping to boot into system, but still bootloop. I flashed the stock firmware and persist zip too in TWRP, but I also got mount persist error. I also need to use fastboot boot twrp.img to get into Twrp since it will disappear after clicking reboot recovery. I tried EDL, but then I got not enough storage error in Miflash.
Hopefully somebody can help me with steps!
LATEST UPDATE:
With the help of KevMetal, I can now use my phone after a week of being hardbricked. At first, my device can't boot to the bootloader or recovery, so what I did was to press the volume down and power button for some time and my phone was detected by the PC. So my device booted to EDL by itself, no need to open the phone. Then I used the 2018 version of MiFlash Tool and flashed the V.10.0.17 of stock Pie ROM from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-...-t3824849/amp/
After that, I flashed the persist.zip provided by KevMetal (browse in this thread) in recovery since I can't sideload the zip, and it worked fine. I then booted to system and finally there was no bootloop.
I then noticed that the IMEI was gone, so I tried to fix through some guides online but this one worked for me. https://medium.com/@shekhawatkoki/fi...1-2ed533548d32

you are messing up ..stop ..
1.boot into fastboot
2. flash stock rom with miflash
3. boot back to fastboot
4. download orange fox or pitch black recovery that actually supports persist flashing
5. join global mi a2 telegram group download relevant persist like if mi a2 or mi x6 and on android 9 or 10
6. put it in adb folder
7. boot recovery ( don't flash)
8. in recovery activate sideload adb option
9. in command window run :adb sideload persist.zip ( persist must have this name in adb folder )
10. now reboot your phone
*in the beginning it will bootloop four or five times ..just leave it
***suddenly your phone will be back to new
***stop flashing permissver and other crap

Thank you so much for your reply. I really appreciate it. I admit that I am really wrong in flashing that permissiver zip. I just hoped that it will solve my random reboot issue, from this tutorial: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...BMAB6BAgCEAE&usg=AOvVaw2suOu9rYeTps71AvKuZbrA
So now, I already downloaded OrangeFox-R10.1_1-Stable-jasmine_sprout.zip for recovery and persist_restorer_6x.zip from the Telegram group, which is universal persist according to them.
But I just have some questions:
1. Do I need to wipe both a and b in recovery or use command fastboot -w before flashing the stock ROM?
2. After flashing stocK ROM in Miflash tool, it will start to boot to system, but in this case, bootloop, so am I right to press buttons to forcibly go to bootloader?
3. For #7 (boot to recovery), this means fastboot boot recovery.img?
4. For #9, if adb sideload doesn't work, can I flash persist in recovery instead?

no install stock using miflash but don't wipe anything ..for this to work well don't install the recovery ..just boot
fastboot boot recovery.img
then using the adb sideload option you can flash the zip from your computer without decryting the internal storage
you can flash magisk the same way ..then you will have stock rooted with persist restored but without custom recovery and your device will remain encrypted ..
if you want custom recovery and install custom rom you can wipe and install but for stock don't do it ..flash persist and magisk from adb sideload without decrypting
2.yeah enter bootloader / fastboot with power button and volume button
4. it will work if done correctly ...if you want to flash from internal storage you will have to wipe and format data to decrypt internal syorage

ok yeah must be a mistake ..
do you understand that first you enter fastboot and boot the orange fox recovery ..only then you start the adb ..
BUT REMember first you need to toggle or activate adb from orange fox recovery (maybe you forgot this ? )
another thing it is very slow so wait very long
another thing the zip you want to flash must be in the adb folder and have the name you use
so
rename persist to persist.zip and put it in adb folder ..then put magisk zip and rename to magisk.zip :
adb sideload persist.zip
adb sideload magisk.zip

Regarding persist.zip, I am now confused because I asked in the group if the file persist_restorer_6x.zip is universal (either pie or 10, wayne or jasmine), they said yes, and another one said no. I searched in the group and found persist_restorer_a2.zip. I checked both files and they have the same filesize and contents.
So is there a thing like a universal persist for a2/6x, either for pie or 10? Or like what you said, only relevant persist depending on the os and device?

it is the same device.. so it is cross compatible ..it might just give an error if it checks the build prop ..obviously flash the A2..pie or q will just maybe be updated version or not but bettrr to flash corresponding if it exists

I see. I can't access my PC yet, but what if I still got bootloop after trying those steps, what must I do next? I'm worried for step #10.
Regarding the persist.zip, can you please check the zips below? The two have the same filesize and files inside, so maybe the two are just the same.

Ok thank you so much. Will try this tomorrow.
Regarding the state of my device, I can't boot to system because of bootloop. If I press power and volume +, I got no command. If I press power and volume -, fastboot mode. My device's bootloader is already unlocked, and can be detected through fastboot.

Got it. So the zip is compatible for either Pie or Android 10?
What's the best version for Miflash tool? I tried the newer version but it can't detect my device, and only the older version can detect. But it seems that the older version can't be trusted also since I still got persist error before.
For #10, my device will bootloop 4 to 5 times. So will it automatically turn off and on again until it will successfully boot? How long does it normally boot?

UPDATE:
So I flashed the Pie Rom (V.10.0.17.0) in the MiFlash Tool (v. 2016.04.01.0) and the flashing was successful. The device turned on and only remained at the Android One logo and turned off again. This repeated for another time and I then forced my device to fastboot mode through the buttons. I then flashed the latest Orange Fox Recovery and it was successful. Now, I checked the recovery and persist can't be mounted (can't put a check on the box), but I still continued to adb sideload mode. The sideloading for persist.zip started, but was stuck at 10%. I waited more and decided to disconnect and try to flash the zip on the device instead. I checked the active slot and it was b, so I thought changing to a will be able to mount persist. I thought that if I remain at b, I will still get mount persist error. I clicked "boot to recovery" and the screen turned off. After a while, the screen remained off and I tried to use the button combinations, and the screen was totally black (no fastboot, logo, animation, or even some light, etc). It's completely black, but I noticed that the device was still hot after a few minutes. I connected my device to the PC again and the MiFlash tool detected my device as Com10. I flashed the rom again but the flashing was not successful. I tried to uninstall the drivers and still, there is no hope for reflashing the rom (it's now detected as com4). If I try to use power combinations, the PC will make sounds like when you connect/ disconnect a device, meaning, my phone can still be detected by my PC. So is there still a hope for my phone?

So I flashed the Pie Rom (V.10.0.17.0) in the MiFlash Tool (v. 2016.04.01.0) and the flashing was successful. The device turned on and only remained at the Android One logo and turned off again. This repeated for another time and I then forced my device to fastboot mode through the buttons. I then flashed the latest Orange Fox Recovery and it was successful. Now, I checked the recovery and persist can't be mounted (can't put a check on the box), but I still continued to adb sideload mode. The sideloading for persist.zip started, but was stuck at 10%. I waited more and decided to disconnect and try to flash the zip on the device instead. I checked the active slot and it was b, so I thought changing to a will be able to mount persist. I thought that if I remain at b, I will still get mount persist error. I clicked "boot to recovery" and the screen turned off. After a while, the screen remained off and I tried to use the button combinations, and the screen was totally black (no fastboot, logo, animation, or even some light, etc). It's completely black, but I noticed that the device was still hot after a few minutes. I connected my device to the PC again and the MiFlash tool detected my device as Com10. I flashed the rom again but the flashing was not successful. I tried to uninstall the drivers and still, there is no hope for reflashing the rom (it's now detected as com4). If I try to use power combinations, the PC will make sounds like when you connect/ disconnect a device, meaning, my phone can still be detected by my PC. So is there still a hope for my phone?

all of this couldn't happen if you only flashed permissiver ..what rom did you previously flash in slot b
anyway doesn't matter ..boot to fastboot with buttons ..boot ..NOT FLASH orange fox recovery
do all wipes
format data
install custom rom
install magisk
install persist
reboot to other standby slot ..
do all wipes
format data
install custom rom
install magisk
install persist
then reboot and phone will boot
use a latest custom rom Q with gapps included ....
follow all the instructions ..not only some ..don change them ..if it fails message me with screenshot
but the 10% problem over usb is a hardware , computer or most likely cable problem ..get a new cable ..or maybe you changed or damaged your screen improperly ..
anyway try the above
also download the most newest copy of miflash and use that to install drivers and flash if you want to flash stock and flash the latest stock amdroid ..
if your phone doesn't go into fastboot it is cos it is bricked in edl mode ..so flash latest stock with latest miflash ..
THEN FLASH PERSIST BY ONLY BOOTINGBrecovery
did you try to convert this A2 to Wayne amd triggered arb ? that could be why flashing stock pie goes to edl mode

Just FYI:
Since 10.0.2.0 till now I thought that persist.img is version-insensitive, as I flashed persist.img taken from 8.1 ROM into couple of versions of 9.0 without any problems (via my method published in "Guides...").
Last week I noticed that compass is "showing south", and tried to flash various versions of persist.img into active 11.0.12.0 - and was surprised to encounter "white screen of eternal booting" with non-native version of persist.img. So finally had to flash persist.img taken from 11.0.12.0 fastboot ROM image.
(Btw, my problem with compass seems to have 2 sides -1st is somewhat very big deviation at homeplace, and 2nd is that only 1st magnetic sensor is being calibrated while second magnetic sensor is not being calibrated by means I used).

So I was able to use another laptop, and I managed to install adb, drivers, and MiFlash Tool. The 2018 version can now detect my phone, and I can now at least boot into fastboot. But my flashing is still not successful because I got stuck at system.img. The laptop freezes and I already tried to free up space in C: drive.
Hi everyone, I really need some help. Took my phone to I.T shop to have it unlocked and EU rom stable put on. I got my phone back with TWRP on it saying no rom. I know nothing about this kind of thing and now I am stuck. Is there someone who can fix this remotely for me?? Thanks in advance
In twrp Click install and Check in the download folder in case it's not in the root folder, if there is no ROM there you could fix it yourself by flashing the last fastboot ROM from a bat file or cmd line
i think it was 12.5.5 or something like that and then you can update to EU 12.5.12 stable via twrp
AND NEVER USE THAT SHOP AGAIN LOL

Thanks for your reply. Could this be done remotely. I really have no idea how to do any of this stuff which is why i first went to a shop. Im happy to pay for a good outcome
Anyone who flashes ROMs could do it in a few minutes via team viewer or something.... But it maybe beneficial to learn for yourself
It's really simple, you've already done the hardest part if you've unlocked the bootloader and installed twrp
Just put the phone in fastboot mode and then plug into PC and click on the bat file
Download: MIUI 12 stable update rolling out to several Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO devices
MIUI 12 stable builds have begun rolling out to several Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO devices. Head on over for Recovery ROM and Fastboot ROM download links!
www.xda-developers.com
Select your phone and download the MIUI stock ROM. (Do NOT extract it.)
Boot into Twrp and wipe and factory reset.
Move the miui stock rom to the phone.
Select flash and select the zip file.
Swipe to flash
Then download and flash(move to phone, flash) the 'ARM64 Android 11' Gapps(Google apps) https://opengapps.org/
Then reboot.
All data will be lost. If you want to keep your photos and videos, before doing everything, go to twrp , connect the phone to a pc, and move the 'Dcim' folder to the computer side.
If you have a working TWRP, just use it to flash latest EU version, format data, reboot system. Done.
Then if you want to go back to a stock ROM, flash it via fastboot or twrp depending on the ROM format you download.

If he's stuck in twrp how can he download a ROM to flash? I don't think you can transfer files to a phone that doesn't have a ROM to flash via twrp
Fastboot first from a PC cmd maybe the only way to get started
He is asking someone else to do the process he doesn't know anything about these things (and I don't understand why buying a phone to make things like this if not capable). Anyway go on YouTube and check people doing the process, I don't think is difficult watching a guy and copy what he is doing
I am replying to close this thread. He contacted me over telegram. I took a look at his phone and the phone is not being detected in fastboot mode on his pc. Maybe hard bricked or in edl mode. Also his twrp is not accessible. So i suggested him to contact the edl guy and he fixed the phone.
So ask mods to close this thread?

I know it's closed as such but in twrp, I can copy files from pc to phone. He could have done the same. BTW, I'm using the very first twrp that many wouldn't install but my phone is recognised in Windows while in recovery. This might help someone else

So sp flash tool will lock your phone to engineer mode if it turns off follow this instruction:
prepare sp flash tools to only flash recovery (the one you want to boot into)
then click the download button to start flash
then wait for phone to get to boot( when image appears, before it gets to reboot plugin your phone to pc)
sp flash tools will flash then when done make sure you reboot to the custom recovery
then if you can access your system from recovery , look next to build.rop for recovery or rebootfromrecovery.p
copy the file somewhere
edit in notepad to clear everything, save it then use the edited one to overwrite

I am going to try the mtk bypass tool, is that going to work? if not i am going to try your instructions, however it did not boot into the recovery even after reflashing , i have tried that before with the twrp app
It cannot detect the device, it isnt in device manager either, i am getting scared
edit: actually it gets detected in device manager as "usb serial device (com4)" when i hold the power button, volume up and volume down at the same time, when i do that, the device stays with a black screen
SP flash tool still does not detect it
it seems to be disconnecting while in this state
Please help, i cant turn the device off

You need to flash the SAME miui version present on the device first.

Certainly, mixing files from different miui versions, bricked your device.
You need to flash the correct miui version to fix the partition table.
And then, you can flash another miui version using fastboot.
