Hello everybody,
Here is a list of all the steps I took over an hour on my Xiaomi Mi 9:
I unlocked the bootloader via Mi Unlock Tool (after waiting for countless hours).
I flashed the mauronofrio TWRP Recovery.
I installed the Paranoid Android Quartz ROM and tried it.
I installed the LineageOS ROM and tried it.
I tried putting back the Paranoid Android Quartz ROM.
After installing the aforementioned ROM via TWRP and restarting the device, the phone went into a loop where it turned on and off and the only thing that appeared on the screen was the Mi mark.
I then tried different solutions until I reached the most nefarious: I completely deleted the phone OS via TWRP and now the only thing I can access is the Fastboot. Obviously I can't access the OS, nor the mauronofrio TWRP, nor the Xiaomi Mi 9 default recovery mode.
How can I solve it? I know it's not your problem, but I'm quite upset (it's my only phone).
Thank you in advance!
UPDATE: As not said: I solved following this tutorial: www*dot*youtube*dot*com/watch?v=rJePUW8Xczw

Hi guys!
Just installed Android P (MIUI 10 9.1.24) on my phone. I used MiFlash method, so the previous twrp got replaced with stock recovery. So I downloaded the latest twrp for mi 8 se, version TWRP-3.2.3-1227. Now whenever I try to boot into this, TWRP gets stuck at the splash screen & nothing else happens. Am I doing something wrong? Any help?
Well, just solved this issue. It is caused by that infamous encryption issue. Basically you have to decrypt your phone before flashing TWRP.

I flashed may be 5 times ( for different tests) 9.2.15 dev version from here and TWRP 1227 was working and sticking at every trial without need to deencrypt.
https://xiaomifirmware.com/roms/download-official-miui-roms-for-xiaomi-mi-8-se/
In my view this issue is more related to the rom version 9.1.24 I didn't tested.
Anyway thanks OP for reporting.

I would like to apologize for statement given in my last post.
I want to make things corrected and thank you for the light you gave me.
Sure it is related to bad deencryption because with 9.2.15 official rom was possible to install TWRP but we were several unable to boot any other rom after installation. We were rejected to fastboot screen at every trials. We found solution by flashing older official rom version.
Good night friend
I have Mi 8 SE that has been installed TWRP LR. TEAM 3.3.0 and runs well, in normal use suddenly stuck, and I immediately restarted my Mi 8 SE, and only entered fastboot and stuck mode, I tried to enter TWRP mode and even then just stuck on the TWRP logo, and when I flash again the method cannot because my Mi 8 SE has no USB Debuging, and only the CMD notification appears "FAILED (remote: Check device console.)",
help me to be able to fix my Mi 8 SE ,,
Thank you so much for your help

Not clear enough your explanation!
"flash again" What is it?
Do you access fastboot and access on your computer?
if yes, you must flash a fastboot rom via miflash in order to reset the phone.
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.

Hi Guys,
yesterday I was able to unlock my Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro bootloader after waiting for 7 days. The unlock was successfull at first attempt, but now my issues begin and I couldnt find a thread where someone has similar isseues.
1. after unlocking the bootloader, I booted to fastboot mode and flashed twrp (from a greek xiaomi forum website ) after that I tried to boot into recovery. The attempt was unsuccessfull and I got the Mi-Logo Screen with the unlocked message at the bottom, after 60 sec the screen goes black and nothing happens, only fastboot mode is working.
2. flashed back to stock recovery -> the phone boots up successfully and is working.
3. Used the Miflash 2017.4.25.0 Tool to flash fastboot rom to have an untouched condition (clean all option).
4. tried to flash another twrp (from wzsx150), same behavior like in 1. explained. Flashing back stock recovery -> phone boots and is working.
5. again used Miflash to have an untouched condition, tried another twrp (By mauronofrio)
5. same behaviour like in 1. explained...
I actually got a Mi 8 Pro and it was so easy for me to flash twrp (also unoffical builds like now for the 9t pro). Switching to different intel laptops with win7 or win10 didnt solve the problem. Changing USB Type C cabels also didnt help
Can someone explain why I'm not getting things to work, as there are already other members which did it successfully...
Try this...
1. flash TWRP
2. Reboot directly from fastboot into TWRP with volume + and power button
3. Flash TWRP.img with TWRP
Problem solved
Kollachi, thanks for the suggestion but didnt work either.
I found a solution by myself I ordered the xiaomi from amazon DE and it was shipped with global stable, why not EEA? I always used the global stable fastboot rom to start from zero, like mentioned, without success.
The solution was flash eea fastboot rom -> twrp installation worked at first attempt and still works! Interesting that this helped me to solve this..
Hi everyone, I need help. Some weeks ago, I tried to install a custom ROM on my phone, which is a Xiaomi Redmi k20 pro, and there was something I did wrong because I ended up with my phone locked and no way of accessing the OS again. I can just open the fast boot mode and the Xiaomi mi recovery 3.0. When I try to normally open the phone, it opens the Xiaomi recovery.
I think I’ve tried everything,
1. I’ve tried unlocking it with the official mi flash unlock tool, but it says that I must log in with my account on the MIUI settings, which I obviously cannot do because I can’t open MIUI.
2. I have also tried to install a custom recovery (I tried to install TWRP), but I can’t because I need to have my phone unlocked.
3. Then I tried to install the firmware with the mi flash tool, but I also can’t because It’s locked.
4. I also tried to connect it to my computer by EDL, but I can’t even if I try it with the EDL cable.
5. I also tried to use the PCSuite, with the English and Chinese version, but at the moment I chose the ROM (I tried it with the global and Chinese ROM and the fast boot and the recovery ROMs), it told me it couldn’t with no more info.
6. The last thing I tried was to use the XiaoMiTool and when I thought I could, I found out that I needed USB debugging on to do it, which I cannot turn on because I have to access MIUI settings to do it.
I would love to have this phone back working, but I don’t have more ideas if you could help me please, I would be so thankful.
