Bricked Phone, Please Help!! - Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe

I am using the Indian model. I wanted to go back to 103.5 from 11.0.1 so I flashed the 10.3.5 zip but then I got stuck in a recovery loop and all the folders were encrypted. TWRP didn't ask for the pattern. I then flashed fastboot rom with the save user data option but the phone now is stuck rebooting to stock recovery.
Please tell me what to do, I don't want to lose my data. If I can somehow decrypt I can use my twrp backup to restore but if I wipe everything then I will lose that too. What to do

I don't think you have a chance of getting the backup back. But wait for others to tell you of there is a way

how do I know if the fastboot rom I downloaded is ok, it paused a couple of times during downloading, does it give an error if its not ok. Is it certain that the phone will work if I select clean all? I don't want to do it if there is any other option

Yes it should bring error if the file is corrupted. Regarding if it will work with fastboot clean all, YES it will, if that's the only solution then get the fastboot ROM and flash it with mitool, as you may know, don't select CLEAN ALL AND LOCK, only CLEAN ALL

I used http://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.3.3.0....FKINXM_20190711.0000.00_9.0_in_a1c0a15dec.tgz
Do they do anything different at the service center, will they be able to save my data?

Your data is gone. Even Service Center can't help you.

Use miflash tool to flash official recovery rom.

If you have the same 11.0.1 recovery rom somewhere, then try to remove the compatibility.zip from it and flash it from flash drive after mounting it in TWRP. I think that way, you'll get back to Miui where you can take your data back up.

Try adding a security pin in miui and then go to twrp, it should ask for the same pin and then after you get in, you should see your files (just guessing) . But to keep your data encrypted, AFAIK, only way to flash another rom is through flash drive.

I flashed 10.3.5 over 11. 0.1 but didn't wipe data. That made it bootloop to recovery

When you want to revert back to an earlier major version of MIUI, it is recommended to flash a fastboot ROM using the Mi Flash Tool and using the 'clean all' flash option.

[Help][SOLVED] Bugs after rooting Huawei PRA-LA1 (P8Lite2017 GR3 2017)

Hello guys,
Can anyone please clarify to me the source of my problem:
I've tried to root my PRA-LA1 (Huawei GR3 2017 PRA-LA1C185B120) without making a TWRP backup of my partitions :crying: I wiped the data and cache but after that when accessing to system I am not anymore able to:
-access developer options
-setting Pin, Password or enrol a fingerprint
-doing a factory reset from security options
-uninstalling any app even those I've installed
I've already try to flash (boot.img, both recoveries imgs,system.img ) without any success but can't flash vendor.img (Command not allowed)

After multiple trying and boot loops, here is what I did to solve my problem
1- I have an UNLOCKED FRP and UNLOCKED bootloader
2- I Downloaded the B182 TWRP Backup from This Post Made By ChinHona used the rooted version from this link
3- I used TWRP to make a Backup of my own partitions just in case , and I made a full Restore Without oeminfo and Version
after that the phone has booted (after some reboots of course )and it's working properly but the version still PRA-LA1C185B120 to fix that I have opened my own version.emmc.win backup in a HexEditor and searched for every occurrence of C185B120 and replaced it with C185B182 reflashed it with TWRP with skipping MD5 Check and that's it.

Mi 9 Restoring firmware

TLDR: I tried installing AEX rom and I bricked my mi9, getting it in a fastboot loop. Flashed a bunch of things and now I think my firmware is messed up. Help.
First I flashed TWRP, then I flashed the AEX rom and gapps, but phone got in bootloop, then I tried just flashing the ROM and it worked. After I flashed gaps it got into bootloop again.
Then I read the instructions from the AEX thread and I flash the recommended Firmware file (v9.6.13), and the flash failed.
I wiped everything, reflashed the ROM without gapps, and at restart the phone. Got stuck in fastboot.
Tried reinstalling TWRP with no success. Tried flashing MIUI with their flash tool but it didn't ended the flash procedure even after 20 minutes...
I tried to directly boot the recovery image (TWRP) and I was surprised that the phone booted in MIUI, but wifi wasn't working. Did not test anything else. Restarting the phone got me again in fastboot loop.
I tried again flashing with mi flash tool and this time was succesfull.
Then I tried to flash a MIUI eu ROM and got the phone again in fastboot loop. Flash was succesfull, but when restarting TWRP said that there is no OS installed.
I decided to give up and flash global MIUI 10.2.13 back.
But now my phone has some problems. Auto brightness doesn't work and video recording freezes the camera app when image stabilization is enabled.
So, is there a way to reflash 10.2.13 rom firmware using mi flash tool?
I suppose the first Firmware flash that was unsuccessful messed the firmware up...
Or how do I get my phone back to factory status...
I suppose v9.6.13 firmware is China developer and was an upgrade and that I should downgrade to 10.2.13 rom firmware.
Or flashing developer global will solve the problem? And how do I do that?

Hmm, so where are you at now!? Have you got twrp installed? and 10.2.13 but with issues, right? or are you on stock recovery?
Current status: I managed to flash fastboot global ROM in mi flash, and stock recovery.
But the firmware is messed up.
Camera doesn't work well. And from normal use I saw that Gyroscope, light sensor and compas aren't working at all...
Phone reboots itself and I can't unlock it because pattern isn-t recognized anymore, untill I reset it by long pressing the power button.
From CIT menu gyro, light sensor and compass are definitely not working.
Would flashing latest firmware from TWRP be a possible solution? My bootloader is still unlocked and I can flash TWRP.
Or should I format vendor partition first? And then flash firmware?
Fastboot flash did solved firmware problem.

To be honest I'm not entirely sure if it'll help, but, I'd put global stable flashable zip on otg, then I'd flash twrp again, boot to twrp using buttons not commands, wipe cache, dalvik, vendor, system, data, internal. Then format data, swiping with confirmation 'yes'. Then flash latest global again over the clean device from otg. You could try using mauronfrio's twrp 3.3.1-35 instead of the one you linked get it here. That's just what I'd try, can't say whether it'll help and no guarantees it'll fix anything... Let us know the outcome bud.
You can download the latest flashable rom from here
I can't see why ur sensors etc aren't working anymore, it's got to be all software related me thinks
Do not try to reboot after wipes, you'll have nothing installed

Correct me if I am wrong, but flashing a stock MIUI zip form twrp won't work.
Or you are saying that I should flash a xiaomi eu ROM?
Got another sugestion:
Someone said that there is the posibility that mi flash didn't flash persist partition and that I should try to force flash it.
Referred thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/re.../how-to-flash-persist-partiton-redmi-t3830310
Is this a possibility?
And shouldn't mi flash reflash everything?

Hold tight bud, just checking. I remember doing that - and the stock rom flashes but you no longer have twrp, it flashes the whole system/vendor including recovery. But hang on 'cos I might be recalling my pocophone F1 for that proceedure. The reason I suggest to reflash twrp is simply to have better control over a fully clean wipe, before progressing to flash rom again. Like I say, hang on just checking...

Yes, miflash should flash everything, but you say you started flashing other stuff when it all went wrong, so I'm really not sure what's happened to ur device. Hang on anyway, still checking on the flashable zip ..
---------- Post added at 09:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 PM ----------
Nope, I think you're right, it was the poco I was getting muddled with - haven't had to do this in while (poco has flashable stock zips somewhere...). It is possible to do it with lazy flasher, but that may start getting messy again. Have you tried re-flashing fastboot? Can you wipe much at all in the stock recovery - again, I can't remember.
Failing that, yeah, I'd seriously consider flashing twrp and flashing mi-globe or eu rom. I prefer mi-globe (although currently using beast rom) over eu simply because you can customize it more on the website. Though, I wouldn't recommend pre-rooting it. Root after, if need be. Any way, we'll cross that bridge later... For now just try to re-flash

I'm pretty sure you won't be able to wipe much in stock recovery, but just wipe what you can and try and re-flash fastboot. Don't flash twrp yet. You could try downloading again the fastboot file, in case of any corruption. Hopefully on the second flash all will be well. But that said, it should've been OK on the first flash :/ in theory
just flashed xiaomi eu rom and everything seems to work now. All sensors are working.
I had to disable signature check, and i got an mounting /system error -> got the message that is installed without changes... whatever that means
And now in TWRP, I think, my files are encrypted without enabling it.
Will try other roms later.
Thanks for the help.

K20 Pro Global keeps booting to TWRP

Hey guys
I've been playing around with my K20 Pro, but I just came across a problem. This is what happened:
- I flashed Havoc 2.8 as my first ROM, all went pretty swell.
- After having problems with the camera app and FP unlock, I decided to flash LineageOS 17, which required me to install a different firmware, and so I did, all went smoothly again
- LOS 17 is still a bit premature for my taste, so I decided to try going back to stock. I downloaded the stock firmware for Android 9.0 and the stock MIUI 10 ROM for the K20 Pro Global which is the one I have, not a Mi 9T Pro
- I flashed both things, phone now keeps booting into recovery, no matter how many times I flashed the stock fw and ROM and wiped the phone
So now, what do I do? Did I mess up somewhere? If so, enlighten me so I can learn.
Is this solvable? I don't want to have a bricked phone like this after 1 month of use xD
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: This has already been solved ^^
The issue is you want to rollback from Android 10 -> 9.
I'm also having this issue.

Have you tried to flash .tgz stock image though miflash tool?
I had something similar yesterday, I'm assuming you can still get into fastboot, so you need to use MiFlash to flash MiUi, be careful not to select 'clean and lock' as this will lock your bootloader and probably brick the device if it's going to a different ROM from stock.
You need to get MiUi in a tar format and flash that in MiFlash.

No I have not. What should I do? Wipe and then install that? Or do I need to install firmware before flashing the .tgz?

Exactly what @monstermuffin20 said.
Download fastboot rom (.tgz file), could be global rom, extract it to a folder. Open miflash tool, locate path. Select "clean all" on bottom and right side options. DO NOT SELECT "clean all and lock" as it will brick your device.

I'm sure flashing the full ROM is enough, just make sure you UNCHECK the CLEAN ALL AND LOCK option. So go into fastboot mode and extract the tgz file, you may have to extract twice.

I'm sure flashing the full ROM is enough, just make sure you UNCHECK the CLEAN ALL AND LOCK option. So go into fastboot mode and extract the tgz file, you may have to extract twice.

Well, I did not uncheck the clean all and lock the first try... After a while I realized and canceled it. It did not finish AFAIK. But now I'm attempting clean all and it's been about half an hour and it's still not flashed. Oh boy

30 mins is actually a lot and I don't think that's normal, my flashing was going to 700secs max which is 12 mins max. Check if your phone still reads UNLOCKED

I just went to recovery and flashed the 10.0 firmware and the LOS 17 and it booted. So I guess it's not bricked :angel:
And yes, it still says Unlocked.
So, how do I go about flashing back to stock MIUI with Android 9? xD

Try it again with Miflash tool, make sure you select CLEAN ALL. I flashed almost 10 times last Sunday and all the times 700 seconds is enough.

As long as it shows: "unlocked" when you turn it on, it definitely not bricked.
1) Download this rom: http://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.3.3.0....FKINXM_20190711.0000.00_9.0_in_a1c0a15dec.tgz
2) Extrat, select path on miflash tool
3) Put your device in fastboot mode
3) MAKE SURE YOU SELECTED "CLEAN ALL" ONLY
4) MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE that "CLEAN ALL" is marked
5) Click "FLASH"
6) It will end in around 600 seconds, with an error (checkpoint error), don't worry, it's normal...
As I see you have chinese k20 pro and don't really want to use miui (as you've been flashing aosp roms), but start to realise that you will have to deal with it for a while, i would recomend to flash chinese rom, just in case, and then xiaomi.eu rom... it's the better way to live with miui.

I tried the ROM you supplied, but it gives a mismatching image and device error, so I tried with the Global one, but it finished at 172 seconds with a "Flash system error"...
JoaoPRSousa said:
No I have not. What should I do? Wipe and then install that? Or do I need to install firmware before flashing the .tgz?

Yes that's the one, if you want to flash Orangefox recovery which had the ability to survive OTAs then I've made a thread few hrs ago take a read.

You cannot flash .zip files through miflash tool... Fastboot rom must be .tgz
Why don't you try this one: http://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.3.8.0....FKCNXM_20190601.0000.00_9.0_cn_beb2b2a432.tgz
Remember, you must extract files to a folder and point that folder path in miflash tool...
Ah, ans just check file after download, that thing gets errors frequently...

How did I not notice that lul. I'm sorry xD
I will try with that one now.
EDIT: MiFlash gave an error: Missmatching image and device
EDIT2: After a few attempts, I think it's flashing properly now
EDIT3: Nope, data transfer failure

Let's see, are using a AMD cpu? Are using a 3.0 USB port?

Those are both correct.
However, I've managed to flash OrangeFox recovery and install a MIUI ROM (miui_RAPHAELGlobal_V10.3.2.0.PFKMIXM_55396ac730_9.0), but on the setup Find Device keeps crashing and the screen keeps turning on and off. I'm going to try to flash a different one, idk.

Stuck at bootloop Mi 9T Pro

Yeah MIUI bites my ass again. Guess it gonna get a taste of the drill soon, but before that.....
Just tried to flash 11.0.3.0.QFKEUXM on my Mi 9T Pro and 70% in the progress it failed. Shut down the phone and tried to start it and all it gave me was a bootloop.
Well that no problem i thought, i have a TWRP backup!
Yeah TWRP wont solve it. I've tried several times but the backup wont work. Flashing it is not a problem, but it always gives me a bootloop when i restart the phone. Now what?
Don't know which version are you currently on, but you'll have to format data (by typing YES) and then flash your EU ROM, DO NOT wipe system.

Can't really remember wich version i was on before, but it was the latest EU rom.
Trying to restore the TWRP image but now it gives me Restoring Data (excl. storage)... -extractTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255
I have no idea what to do here. Could it be that the data part is encrypted?

Yes could be, you'll have to sacrifice the data and start afresh

Finaly the TWRP restore was completed (had to roll back to 10.3.1.0) without any errors, but it still gives me a bootloop. Any ideas?
dude more info
please specify how did you flash / flash recovery rom or fastboot rom
rooted not rooted
if you have unlocked bootloader do clean flash via fastboot rom
any way to avoid any issue flash the fastboot rom via mi flash and be careful to uncheck clean and lock just select clean without lock and flash the rom
then flash twrp recovery via cmd in fasboot screen
then you good to go
All the info is there, just read it again.
Problem solved

Question Can you install/flash the same MIUI version onto your phone?

So my RN10Pro is running MIUI 13.0.8 . Is it possible to download a MIUI 13.0.8 ROM from the Mi website and flash it to "Reinstall" the os?
Also, does this method need extra things like TWRP or is the unlocked MIUI bootloader enough?
You can reflash yes, I tried it before but on a different phone. I think you can do it in the Updater in settings too, I did mine in twrp by flashing recovery rom and doing a format data because of encryption. But to be sure (and avoid any errors), use fastboot flashing instead. It will wipe the data so be sure to backup.

So to be clear, it needs the unlocked bootloader right? Guess I have to wait 7 days :/

You can relock it afterwards if you're not planning to do any modifications or move to a custom ROM.
