Did I brick my phone? - Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe

I accidentally flashed my phone with "clean all and lock" ticked (why does it have to be set by default?)
but before the flashing could finish I unplugged the phone about 300 seconds through.
I tried turning on my phone and it took a while but it eventually went straight to fastboot mode
I've got it flashing 11.0.2.0 Chinese after previously being on 11.0.1.0 Global (Mi 9T Pro)
The flashing process is happening as I type this but I'm nervous I've bricked my phone
would anyone be able to tell me if I have bricked my phone and if so does that mean the flashing process occurring right now is useless?

Hahaha yes, it eventually fully flashed I think I overreacted a little bit but now I'm having troubles flashing havoc
I've heard you have to flash zips after you flash opengapps
I'm only flashing one zip which is disable dm verity and force encrypt is that enough? Or do I need to flash many zips as opposed to one?

You don't need to flash any dm-verity or encrypt patches.
If you want to install Havoc, then flash the most recent fastboot ROM that is for the same region as your phone, before flashing Havoc. If your phone is Chinese, then flash the Chinese 11.0.5 ROM. If your phone is European, then flash the European 11.0.3 ROM.
Follow the guide I wrote earlier this week in the above link.

Need super help - Mi 8 -System has been destroyed

Hi all
Sorry that my vocabulary wont be so pro.
I flashed yesterday EU stable rom 10.0.1.0.
Today I flashed back global 8.8.30 using twrp, wiped data and it has finish ok, but made loop boot and backed to twrp once again.
then flashed 9.5.13.0 global, ended OK, didn't boot well and backed me to recovery screen.
by ADB I tried to go back to TWRP and it boot to "the system has been destroyed".
Nothing i do not help, by info with ADB looks like the bootlouder is closed some how.
I cannot open in since it is writing me that the account not connected to the to the phone, and i cannot do anything since the phone is not going up.
any ideas?

if this is a Chinese version phone, you need to flash the region fix, and also the dm-verity disabler after the ROM and also wipe DATA.

If you don't have TWRP anymore, and MIflashtool isn't working, then if your phone is still unlocked, flash the TWRP again through fastboot. If not, i'm not sure.

I not 100% sure but I will go for that also, its sad but probably he screw his phone.
1. he confirm he have locked bootloader
2. no access to system nor miflash detect so no bootloader unlock
3. no bootloader, so no flashing twrp.
I dont have any good news, nor any solution to even help you.

Yep, everywhere I've seen MIUI 10 10.x stable have ARB. It's the reason I haven't flashed it, as I read before..

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

Is it ok to format vendor partition? will it be recreated wen flashing again? using mi flash or from twrp?

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

Bootloop with no recovery or fastboot options

Not sure what I did but I am now stuck in a bootloop where it reboots every 10 seconds or so but I can't get into recovery or get to fastboot no matter how I press and hold the Power and up or down volume buttons? Is there any way out of this? I left the phone overnight and the battery wasted but as soon as I plugged it into the USB on my laptop again it went back to the bootloop.
So, just wondering is there a special sequence of buttons to press on the device, that I don't know of, when this happens?
Thanks
Did you flash anything?
Yes, I had switched from MIUI to PixelExperience (and I had unlocked the bootloader etc to do this) but I believe I did something wrong in the process and both my IMEI (which were still reported correctly) were not working - I thought this might be some firmware issue so I had flashed an update firmware but that did not help. So I went and flashed the Engineering ROM to see would that help resetting the device.
But that didn't help and I had lost TWRP so I refreshed TWRP and at that point it went into the bootloop. What I don't understand is why I can't get back to fastboot - I can understand maybe something went wrong with the version of TWRP I flashed (though I am pretty sure it was the same one I flashed originally when playing around with the PixelExperience ROM.
Anyway, just wondering if there was some other mechanism to trigger either the fast boot or some recovery as its like the boot loader fail to find anything appropriate to boot up from.

Because you compromissed the boot process.
When your device try to boot, it make some checks first.
You need to flash the stock MIUI rom again.

Yes, thanks, I imagine that is what happened but how can I flash when I can't get into recovery or get to into fastboot?

You need to flash the stock MIUI rom again using SPFLASHTOOL.

If you have have adb drivers installed in your pc, try connecting your phone and open power shell. Then try this command.
Code:
adb devices
If it shows the device, then simply command
Code:
adb reboot fastboot
and flash the fastboot rom.
If not works, then follow VD171.
Also you should read threads carefully before flashing anything. Like there a tread about pixelplus UI. And they recommend to force reboot when you see the boot logo. To avoid boot loop.
Good luck

Don't flash pixel experience. It's unofficial and it's and old version. I recommend you to flash pixel extended after solving and flashing latest fastboot rom. It's official and provide update every month. This rom is also a pure aosp based Stock rom.

Also, before doing any customization, you have to flash the Indonesian fastboot rom. Because almost every development is based on Indonesian rom.

Question Bootloader

Hi recently I tried to install TWRP on my xiaomi 12 pro but instead it made my phone stuck on fastboot, I used mi flash to flash it to the normal rom but it said something about it being not supported so I picked wipe date on the phone and tried to install a different version but, now apparently the phone is locked and I do not know how to unlock it to flash it again. any help will be appreciated please.
Things I've tried
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flashing unlock
Mi flash - I cant flash because the device is locked and I have not logged in with a Mi account.

Which version?
So as not to make the same mistake again if we manage to save the phone.
Which TWRP and which command.
For Miflash you have probably left the flash and lock box checked.
If you could post the Miflash log (Miflash log folder)
I used this guide to install twrp
I put global rom instead of europe rom which came with my phone
I do have another xiaomi device I was wondering it I could somehow transfer the account to my bricked phone then flash it that way

Is the version of your phone Chinese with a Xiaomi EU rom?
I bought it from Here
It says in the description that 'The initial Chinese version has been updated to a global ROM.'
so I'm not sure when I got it I checked the rom and it said the Europe version I tried to update the version but when it was ready to install it said 'your device supports twrp' and I clicked ok to the instructions and when the device booted back up it was in recovery mode and I pressed restart and no updates were made.

It is a Chinese version.
post the Miflash log (Miflash log folder) so I can check what you did.
The log is between 20 and 25 KB and starts like this
[23:28:45 eeab043a]:MiFlash 2020.3.14.0
[23:28:45 eeab043a]:vboytest index:1
[23:28:45 eeab043a]:idproduct: 53261 idvendor: 6353
I think I deleted the one that I used I was on my i've just given up after hours of trying to fix it

As you have on my tutorial, this is the mistake not to do with a Chinese device.
Now to be sure, flash a Chinese rom with Miflash by checking the Clean all box.
Either the phone works again or not, Miflash will give you the error, surely 'lock state'
yes it says failed remote: erase is not allowed in lock state, im trying to get out of that mode I need help with that
