recoveries + flash problems

Hello, i have a Mi8 global version, unlocked and actually i'm on latest xiaomi.eu dev (9.1.24), but i have some problems with twrp and custom kernels.
I don't know why, but almost every recovery won't boot.
Actually i'm on TWRP 3.2.2-0711 (the only one that works) and managed to flash xiaomi.eu rom as written before.
But every other recovery on the forum won't boot, tried to flash and boot from cmd, only boot from cmd, flash with some tools, flash and with apps from playstore, restart from cmd with vol up, disconnect phone and use keys combination, but same result: only 3.2.2 works.
Every other recovery i try to flash does nothing, it just reboots normally without enter in twrp.
I have similar problem with custom kernel: only francoKernel_r4 boots fine. With every other miui compatible kernel i have bootloop.
I've tried to reflash fastboot rom with XiaomiFlash but still have same results.
Can anyone help me please? I have no more ideas what to do

No i did know. Just tried but both twrp don't work.
Btw i'll try to write in that thread too.
Thank you

Fastboot flash the recovery img, then fastboot boot the recovery img.
Then reflash recovery zip file from within twrp you just fastboot booted

Use TWRP 3.2.3-1208 version from OP in this link

As written on eu forum, the only recovery working is the 3.2.2.
Every other recovery, 1208 too give me:
Mi logo (unlocked) - black screen - Mi logo (unlocked) - system. But no recovery.
Tried to flash a custom rom different to xiaomi.eu but got bootloop, same with kernel flashable zips on xda. Only bootlooo...
I really don't know what to do anymore...

Yeah weird, I've literally guided a friend through the process just yesterday with that method.
Zero issues

Yes it's not easy to flash twrp on mi a2 , don't know why. What you do is go to this link (https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomimia2.html) and download both .img and .zip file from there. Then get into fastboot mode and do the command -
fastboot boot twrp.img
Then it will boot into TWRP. And then flash TWRP.zip file and it will flash it permanently to your device. This step is mandatory so the stock recovery doesn't come back.
Hope this works !! Let me know if it helps !!

Lost TWRP and system after flash custom rom

Hi guys,
I flash Havoc-OS on Mi9T Pro Global PFKMIXM 10.3.1 by TWRP, after reboot do not start system and not enter on TWRP again.
I try this commands on fastboot below.
Code:
adb devices
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot boot recovery.img
fastboot reboot recovery
Can anyone give me a help?
Thanks.

Hi friend, mainly thanks for helping.
I tried your suggestion, but it doesn't work.
I restored with Mi Flash Tolls, the only alternative. Now it works well.
You will now try the Flash I Rom and waiting for new updates and then flash any custom rom.
After I want share stuff tools and congratulations.
Have nice guys!

Yes, that's what happened to me.
The only solution I found was to install the new rom via fastboot.
For this you will need to perform the following steps:
1 - Install Mi Flash + drivers (this is boring, if you have Windows 7, it will be easier). In this link you will find some downloads and more details.
2 - Download the Sotck Rom (for fastboot important) from your device, in my case it was PFKMIXM 10.3.1 for Mi9T Pro. You need to extract zip then before.
3 - Flash the new rom via fastboot (approximately 10 minutes).
After that, your device will start with the new rom, then you can flash TWRP again and everything will work. The Magisk installation may cause error 1, but only flash boot.img through TWRP.
Be quick, because if the battery drain, you won't be able to start it in fastboot again.
If you need any links, ask me. I didn't have time to share everything.
Have a nice and good luck!!

To boot to recovery After fastboot flash recovery , you will need also a system...
As you wiped all, you dont have anymore. I made the same mistake when decrypting After unlocking.
Extract system.img from stock fastboot rom and fastboot flash system system.img.
Then again (why not lol) fastboot flash again reco and reboot to recovery with buttons.
If it dont work , miflashtool will recover it ( DONT SELECT CLEAN_LOCK)

Yes, very important.
In Mi Flash, check only "Clean All" dont clean and lock.
Thanks.

thanks, hopefully i didnt break it further as i accidently flashed a global indian ROM when i should have flashed CN
now my only option might be EDL via testpoint, i have a mate who can help i will try and find the right version CN rom tonight and go slower

Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Too bad you couldn't recover. I hope you can do it again.
Today I had to flash twice, once because I flashed Kernel Quax and couldn't rollback and once for trying Rom Syberian. I hope that in the future we will have a firmware balanced with the customs kernel and roms.
Good luck.

Thanks I dont think it will work
i bought a Deep flash cable to see if i can get it into EDL mode without opening.

Dead mi 9 ,only fastboot

Hi
I tried to install havoc 3.2 with installation guide in it's thread
But my mi 9 now can only boot into fastboot and I tried to flash stock rom with mi flash but show me error (sprase...txt doesn't found or sth like that,I tried to download it two more time but same,I will try download it again tonight)and when I tried to flash extracted partitions from fastboot rom with cmd(14 imgs) it flashed successfully but problem still here.
After flash I understood that I've shouldn't wipe system but I don't know what should I do.
I can't boot into stock recovery and twrp and only can boot to fastboot.sorry for my bad English.
Pls help.

Are you using latest miflash?
Does your computer recognize your device in fastboot?
Have you tried to install TWRP again?

Problem solved after i downloaded fastboot rom from another link and flashed it.

Stuck in fastboot :(

Hello everyone!
As the title states, my Xiaomi mi 9 is stuck in fastboot mode, after i tried installing the latest unofficial port of Lineageos 17.1 for the Mi 9.
I can not exactly remember how it happened but i guess i must have wiped the phone after installing the custom rom. Silly me...
I tried the following things to try to unbrick my phone:
1. Using the Mi Flash Tool in order to flash the official Xiaomi firmware onto my device. I flashed these versions: 11.05 global fastboot, 11.08 EEA fastboot, 11.06 global fastboot. None of them worked. My phone would show up on the flash tool and the flashing itself was always marked as successfull but sadly my phone would not boot into MIUI and just stay frozen in fastboot mode. Restarting the device did not help.
2. Flashing twrp and trying to boot into it. Sadly, this also did not work out for me. Every time after i would successfully flash the .img file and reboot my device, the damn fastboot screen appeared.
So is there anything i can do? No matter what i try, my device goes into fastboot mode. I tried searching for the answer myself but those who had the similar issue did either not receive any useful answers or the Mi Flash Tool magically worked for them after a few attempts.
Thank you in advance!

Hello,
As long as you have access to fastboot mode, am sure you can recover your device.
You need to download the official ROM that corresponds to your specific devices. If it is global version, download the global version.
Also, before flashing, make sure you unlock the bootloader.

fastboot --cmdline "lge.kcal=0|0|0|x" boot twrp.img
this temporarily boots you into TWRP so you can reflash TWRP again. with this method the TWRP will be deleted once you reboot si you need to reflash TWRP in TWRP. then dont reboot, flash a Good working rom.

Similar problem here.
The line fastboot --cmdline "lge.kcal=0|0|0|x" boot twrp.img
brings up
FAILED (remote: 'Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error')
