Hello, my phone is stuck in Fastboot mode (rebooting does not work, it will always boot into fastboot mode) so I just followed this guide to flash a new ROM: https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2
But I am wondering, why the installation is still going on after over 10min. - What is wrong?

After trying it again:
It is just stuck forever and I do not know why, I do not get out of fast boot mode and I really do not know what to do now.
Like doesn't the "status" say something what is wrong here? I cannot identefy it, but has anyone enough experience with it and maybe experienced my issue already?
Try flash non-official rom via recovery (twrp). After successful flash, launch system. Then, try flash latest stable via fastboot (do not use FLASH-AND-LOCK, use it only after successfully flashing like flash, check if everything is ok and then flash it again and lock).
I cannot enter recovery, I am stuck in a Fast boot loop. The phone won't let me get into recovery mode.
So flash TWRP in fastboot mode.
And you could try to flash another ROM because "echo Missmatching image and device"
The name of your directory path should not include any space. Replace the spaces with underscores, dashes or just remove them.
From your screenshot, you selected clean all and lock. Try unlocking the bootloader again.

Thanks, but the thing is I fixed all those things already as my last picture shows: https://img.xda-cdn.com/5kNbM-6ZvzA8Jvc_Fc-qUwGIG-Q=/https://i.imgur.com/ZOhtier.png
@Tomcar do you mean 'fastboot flash recovery name.img' ? That does not work, it still boots me into fastboot mode everytime I try to get into recovery mode.
Shure, because you are locked again
I fixed the problem. I just downloaded a newer version of Mi Flash and now I have the newest version installed. So the plan is to install a new custom rom now.
Why is wipe system not recommended to do?
And do I have to "wipe internal storage"?
I really do not understand.. Now as I sad above I have the newest version installed and the phone is unlocked too!
When I go into fastboot mode and do "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" it works, but when I boot into recovery mode with volume UP and power button the old recovery is still there.
What am I missing out here?

Try after "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"
"fastboot boot recovery twrp.img"
Once you do this, the recovery should stay permanently there.
Dont know why, but this was working for me.
(I hate this phone, too many strange things with it)
On my Mi 9, what I did to make TWRP stick was to press vol up + power right after flashing the recovery, to boot into TWRP.

Thanks, this did not work somehow the boot command did not get recognized: "C:\Mini ADB and Fastboot>fastboot boot recovery twrp.img
fastboot: error: cannot load 'recovery': No such file or directory"
I was facing the same issue. I stopped the flashing. Copied manually the recovery.img file that came with the flash tool, and flashed the original recovery manually, cause i had it on a customer recovery. Then i tried again, it showed a more meaningful error, basically the path of the folder we're flashing can't have spaces. moved the folder under C: and tried again.. all worked!!

Hey,
I bricked my phone trying to flash twrp (3.2.2-0711 for Mi8). After "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img", I accidentally typed "fastboot flash boot twrp.img" instead of "fastboot boot twrp.img". Now the phone boots strait to TWRP but without TWRP actually starting. Its stuck on the TWRP boot screen, no matter how long i wait. It cant be turned off, but instantly reboots to twrp (only if battery is gone). The phone is responsive to adb, but wont boot to fastboot, only to recovery (tried the classic Vol+Power button as well as adb reboot fastboot). I tried MiFlash and adb sideload, but they give out errors. #
Any ideas, how to proceed? Does EDL work with MI8?

Yeah how did u fix it @helias00 ? Probably handy for in the future for more ppl on this forum.
Since it bootlooped direct into non-functioning twrp, I waited until the battery was drained, and jump started the phone via Vol- + Power into fastboot mode. Later I learned, that the correct adb command would have been "adb reboot bootloader". With fastboot working its like every other unbricking. I restored the boot.img from official MIUI 9.5 stable fastboot ROM to the phone and booted with the correct TWRP (Another thing I didn't know: Apparently only TWRP 3.2.1-611 will work with MIUI 9 installed. TWRP 3.2.2-722 works only with a MIUI 10 ROM.) Turned out all data was scrambled (corrupt emmc), so I did a full factory wipe (careful to reboot directly to recovery from TWRP, not simply reboot!) and finally installed the ROM (xiaomi.eu) via TWRP. Everything works fine so far.

hey guy, don’t bother with your head after flashing the official firmware and that’s all.
avoid brick. otherwise I had a hard brick for such a situation, I had to turn in the service one and they did it to me, remember our brick will not brick in any way until there is no way out.

TWRP must be flashed with the command:

After flashing, first thing must be rebooting to TWRP by key conbo - it's always that same trick for Huawei phones

Yes, sorry, you are right, typo.
But I wanted to point that you must use fastboot flash command (not FLASHBOOT or whatever you used in your post #1)
And that you MUST reboot to TWRP as the first thing after flashing it - otherwise (as you claimed), stock recovery will overwrite the TWRP you flashed
Hence, prepare you fingers for the key-combo, type fastboot reboot, disconnect USB and make sure you properly keep pressing Vol+ until it boots to TWRP. Then you can safely reboot to the system
But also READ the P9 LOS thread - it clearly describes that LOS must bi flashed from fastboot, not from TWRP and it actually asks users not to use TWRP
See here and better ask there to get the answers directly from developer:
[ROM][Treble][microG]LineageOS 16.0 for HUAWEI P9
This thread is dedicated to provide Lineage-OS 16.0 builds with microG included for the HUAWEI P9 with current security patches. It is a treble build, therefore it could also work on other devices, but I haven't tested. And yes, the camera...

I have indeed tried this route, but as I have stated before, trying to boot into recovery mode right after flashing TWRP and pressing key combo still boots me into the error screen where it says that I need to update something. On the bottom of the screen will also show errors such as Function11 not found and error 2 no image etc. I’ll try to replicate it and send you a picture of the error screen when I get home from work tonight.
Hello there
I think i did somethinh wrong while trying to install twrp. Now when it boots it stays stuck on twrp screen, i cant switch it off. If i try, it will boot again on twrp screen. But i can boot it on fastboot mode.
I tryed with adb commnds to reinstall twrp but it does not recocnize dhe device when the phone is in fastboot mode.
If i boot the phone on the stuck twrp screen it is recognized by adb but it does not executes any command.
Eventually i thought trying to clean flash the stock rom will fix everything and i can try again with a fresh start. But the mi flash gives error,; flashing is not allowed for critical partitions.
The bootloader is unlocked.
Your browser is not able to display this video.
Try flashing your original boot.img (that worked with your current ROM version) back to the device from Fastboot.

Not adb. You need to be in bootloader mode with Fastboot access to be able to flash boot back. Power up the device in bootloader mode with the vol+power buttons and confirm that your device has Fastboot access (e.g 'fastboot devices' returns your device id). Flash your boot from there. If Fastboot access is impossible, it's a bigger issue but try that first...

Hello, i have the same problem. Did you use only mi flash to resolve the issue?
Mi A2 does not have /recovery partition, a recovery is a part of the /boot image, and thus TWRP is not to be "flashed" into /boot (or absent /recovery), but can be "patched" into /boot installing appropriate .ZIP file in a temporarily booted TWRP (tip: search Guides).
This "revelation" could be found in many threads / guides in this forum - search could help you.
As well as "revelations" answering your question:
AndroidOne devices do not need any MiFlash (except for testpoint unbricking, tip: search Guides), if bootloader and critical partitions are unlocked, just normal fastboot.exe from latest Android platform-tools (tip: search in Guides).

You mean minimal adb ? or can you provide a link?
Connect the phone in fastboot mode (LED = blue) and open the device manager. Do you see the phone under "Other Devices" or "Android" with an exclamation mark? Then you need an ADB/bootloader interface driver. Get this for example:
https://developer.sony.com/file/download/xperia-xz2-driver/
(Yes, XZ2! There is no official XA2 driver)
Unzip it somewhere and force install the driver:
Right click on the device manager entry from above, "Update driver", "Browse my computer...", "Let me pick...", "List/show all...", "Have disk...", browse to the folder from above, open the selected .inf file and install.
Fastboot should work now. At least that's how I got it to work on a new PC.
BTW, just use "fastboot devices" to check whether it works. If your device doesn't appear, you don't need to try other fastboot commands - it won't work.

I agree with faraway, if i remember correctly when i had this issue i didn't unlock the bootloader.
I typed a specific number in the phone dial app and it said that the bootloader is unlocked, however there is another step you need to take that i had overlooked, you need a bootloader unlock code.
The code is free, not like with chinese spyware huawai they want your money for the code...

What is your end goal? To flash a custom ROM like LineageOS? Then you can temporarily flash a recovery image to the boot partition:
fastboot flash boot <recovery_filename>.img
You don't really need TWRP for this, just use the latest official LOS Recovery:
https://download.lineageos.org/pioneer
Also see: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/pioneer/install
Or do you want to "permanently" install TWRP on an existing system? Then you need to directly boot into TWRP and install it from its GUI:
fastboot boot <twrp_filename>.img
See: https://twrp.me/sony/sonyxperiaxa2.html
I haven't tried the latter on the XA2 yet though and don't know how permanent that installation really is. It maybe gone after an OTA update.

Independent from the bootloader status: you can't flash an image directly to the recovery partition on the XA2/Pioneer (like he tried, see screenshot) because such a dedicated partition doesn't exist on this and other A/B devices. Instead the recovery is built into the boot image.
That's why you have to use fastboot flash boot instead of recovery.

follow the next steps you mentioned use: fastboot flash boot recovery from LineageOS, and my phone went into a constant boot shutdown and restart, then this message appeared
and the bootloader is open
Shutdown the phone after flashing the recovery image (it doesn't seem like you did that). Then hold Volume Down + Power to boot into recovery.

I get that the recovery is only for a temporary boot, when i tried it, it didn't work but i can't remember what the error was.
