MI 9 Stuck in fastboot mode

I've tried so many things to fix this and it wont work. i tried flashing stock rom/recovery with mi flash tool and it got up to 20 mins and i just quit it. i was trying to install a rom so it has no os and boots straight to fastboot mode.

Use bat file present in extracted tgz rom instead of miflash. First install drivers

Remember one important thing among those TWRP in Mi9 : Never wipe system partition before rebooting your phone !! That means : You must flash ROM if you wipe system partition before rebooting your phone.

Before chosing rom in mi flash extract it on desktop then chose it in mi flash

After you've extracted the tgz file twice to reveal a folder that contains the images folder, put that main folder in root of C: drive on PC and point mi flash to it. Let us know how you get on...

Thanks guys! I eventually fixed it, i must of downloaded the wrong rom file

Hello! I'm very new at those things, it s actually the first time I tried something like this and maybe it s my fault ahahaha... but i was about to root my xiaomi and then the phone get stuck in fastboot mode.. nothing works, like press the bottons etc, and with a terminal i can t reboot fastboot, it says no valid command. I m so so new in this that i have no idea what i can do. I think my error was with the wipe thing . Do you know something i can try ?

Please HELP! MY K20 IS STUCK ON FASTBOOT! NOTHING WORKS!

GUYS Please help I'm Scared as hell, my K20 is stuck in fastboot mode and I don't know what to do! So here is what I did, I heard about the K20 Pro 81hz refresh rate Mod and the android 10, I couldn't find twrp for k20 so i decided to flash k20 pro's twrp (which probably was a big mistake!), I don't exactly remember what exact files i was flashing! I remember after flashing few files or just the twrp of k20 pro (i dont remember exactly) my phone was stuck in fastboot and is still now if i restart or go to recovery or anything it just leads me back to fastboot screen. I flashed android 10 recovery rom via fastboot,which i was not supposed to do, i didn't know the difference b/w the fastboot and recovery rom at that moment, but when i did i downloaded another rom but a stock rom for k20 fastboot variant I don't remember where I downloaded all the files but I downloaded the recovery rom from : https://www.xda-developers.com/download-miui-11-beta-now-for-13-xiaomi-devices-changelog/ and I downloaded the stock rom from : https://rootmygalaxy.net/redmi-k20-and-k20-pro-stock-firmware/ and I downloaded twrp recoveries from other sites, well I guess this is not important where i downloaded these. But after I try to flash the K20 Stock Rom by Mi Flash Tool (keep in mind i tried to flash the android 10 rom with mi flash tool also and that too by any all settings like clean all , keep data, clean all lock, i was just trying everything to get my phone to work! ) So then it gave me error of mismatching device so i searched on youtube to fix this error and tried it but still it wasn't flashing, then I thought maybe when I was trying to flash the android 10 rom many times I might have locked the boot loader, so i used the mi unlocker tool to see, i clicked on unlock it said it started the process, 3 step process of verifying device ,unlocking ,and done but it showed an error on the verifying device it said "can't get info, connect again ". This scares me have I locked the bootloader and now is there no way to unlock it or what??? I need your guys help please tell me what Rom I have to flash or what steps I have to take to get my phone working again! Please
I have a K20 Indian Variant, oh and yeah my bootloader was unlocked before I started to do all of this. I know what I have written might be confusing But PLEASE HELP ME!
Edit: and I also tried to flash the boot by getting boot image from android 10 rom, basically i just flashed randomly...
I also saw a few videos about the edl mode, i tried to get into edl mode and I got into edl mode so If there is a way to flash rom using edl mode do tell me
Edit: And I also think maybe the rom isn't flashing because I might have got the global rom or something can anyone send link to Indian K20 Stock Rom?
Edit: I just downloaded the k20 indian rom the correct one but when i flash through mi flash it says success in 1 second time that means my bootloader is locked but now ALL i need from YOU GUYS is to tell me How to Unlock it, I can't unlock it via Mi Unlock Tool, is there another method?

Bro first of all put the rom in a folder on the desktop (one folder and the files in it ) (not folder inside a folder)
Next copy the flashtool folder to the desktop also
Next edit the flash_all.bat and remove the commands up and keep only commands that starts with (fastboot)
And save.
Then choose the folder and then flash and make sure u choose only (clean all) and not (clean all and lock) from below goodluck bro hope the picture will make you understand

Mi 9 won't boot into Android

Alright lets start... I bought Mi 9 about 2 months. I just like to work with phones and mess up with Roms, recoverys, etc. I started it about 4-5 years ago with Samsung Galaxy Trend Plus. When i lost that phone i bought HTC M8 and also do the same (mess up with software). With Mi 9 i couldnt wait for Miui11 and tried to install it via Twrp. Unlocked bootloader installed Twrp via Fastboot, and every time when i restarted phone Miui stock recovery would overwrite Twrp. I searched everywhere and found some "solution". It was when you install Twrp via fastboot you need to write Fastboot boot Twrp.img, something like that im not really sure. Well that worked, kindof. Twrp would always appear but it cant boot into Android. And like always i tried to to solve it myself but i cant for two days of working without stopping i cant solve this. I tried to install different Rom (Miui 11 all versions) and it would install but wont boot. I tried Stock Miui Rom, i tried Factory img almost everything. Tried with adb, Miflash tool, All in one tool for Mi 9. I really love this phone i worked every day on summer for this phone. Thanks. If someone read this and want to help for more information just ask.

You need Miflash pro. Search for it. Sounds like you have some kind of recovery bootloop. If you can get your Mi9 to the fastboot (bootloader) screen then you can fix your cell an get it to boot . Trust me on this. I must of made flashing errors with my Mi9 maybe 20 times an got stuck in a fastboot loop.
Heres a link https://androidmtk.com/use-mi-flash-pro-download-xiaomi-firmware
Follow the guides an you should have a working Mi9 in under 20 minutes.
Sometimes there can be trouble getting the latest version of Miflash pro an it requires a bit of tinkering to flash with it.

Not sure that this would help but here is what I did to install Xiaomi.EU ROM in my Mi 9. I followed the guide from this forum here.
Prerequisite:
Download TWRP 3.3.1-42 for Cepheus from Mauronofrio here
Download Xiaomi.EU ROM here
Rename both files to twrp.img & rom.zip respectively (for easy typing later)
Steps:
Power off phone
Boot phone to fastboot - Vol Down + Power
type "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" without the double quotes
Power off phone
Boot phone to recovery - Vol Up + Power
Type "adb push rom.zip /tmp/" without the double quotes
In TWRP, go to Wipe-Format Data-type yes in TWRP
Then perform a Factory Reset in TWRP
Then flash ROM located in tmp
And finally reboot to system
I hope this helps.

Please help me unbrick this device

I am not able to boot into twrp recovery so I'd appreciate all the help.
I have unlocked bootloader.
Downloaded the twrp from here recovery
flashed twrp
flashed misc
then rebooted into recovery
formatted data
rebooted recovery
then I formatted internal storage and system partition also (I think this where I screwed up)
then again I rebooted the recovery and instead the device goes to fastboot. No matter what I try, it just wont go into recovery.
I flashed twrp again and flashed mics countless times but the device keeps going into fastboot and not into the recovery.
Can anyone help please? Thanks.

Flash with MI FLASH TOOL in fastboot mode

Don't worry. I had this issue twice . You need to flash fastboot rom without locking the bootloader again(choose it from the bottom of miflash tool). then go to fastboot mode and reinstall twrp again and install any rom you need or even downgrade to earlier version.

if you flash miui_PYXISGlobal_V11.3.4.0.PFCMIXM_78bb922dcd_9.0.zip on fastboot, you'll start from scratch, it'll boot but with stock recovery, so that could be your plan B

You guys are awesome. My phone is back into action. Thank you very much.
I followed this guide and it all went smooth.

So sp flash tool will lock your phone to engineer mode if it turns off follow this instruction:
prepare sp flash tools to only flash recovery (the one you want to boot into)
then click the download button to start flash
then wait for phone to get to boot( when image appears, before it gets to reboot plugin your phone to pc)
sp flash tools will flash then when done make sure you reboot to the custom recovery
then if you can access your system from recovery , look next to build.rop for recovery or rebootfromrecovery.p
copy the file somewhere
edit in notepad to clear everything, save it then use the edited one to overwrite

I am going to try the mtk bypass tool, is that going to work? if not i am going to try your instructions, however it did not boot into the recovery even after reflashing , i have tried that before with the twrp app
It cannot detect the device, it isnt in device manager either, i am getting scared
edit: actually it gets detected in device manager as "usb serial device (com4)" when i hold the power button, volume up and volume down at the same time, when i do that, the device stays with a black screen
SP flash tool still does not detect it
it seems to be disconnecting while in this state
Please help, i cant turn the device off

Certainly, mixing files from different miui versions, bricked your device.
You need to flash the correct miui version to fix the partition table.
And then, you can flash another miui version using fastboot.
