I tried XiaoMiTool V2, unable to unbrick.
Now I have a brick. No TWRP. No ROM. Bootloop.
7 days waiting for bootloader unlocking? I'm very upset with Xiaomi, really.
ColdIce tried to help me. No luck.
Any hope? Any help? I always wipe partitions. I don't know what to do with this.

Something is happening
Tried flashing my favourite custom rom right now, same recovery,same rom, same kernel , same version,older miui version,same flashing steps
Gets stuck in bootloop now while it didnt before
Something actually bad is hapenning
have been stuck on this:
rom boots into setup
setup works partily
system reboots after getting into the set up
rom tries booting again but something prevents it from booting and just reboots
(i can see it finishes booting but doesnt start)
this seems to be a thing with all custom roms???
why is this happening now
might be the case with the stock rom also my god why the ****

I am ColdICe and i dont understand this?
Nothing changed, there shouldnt be anything stopping it from working, but it doesnt
work
This seems to be a problem with all custom roms and does not include stock roms
The custom roms i know worked couple of days ago, i truly dont know why this is
happening
I was able to reflash the stock rom through a "recovery rom" with no issues
seems like you will have suck it up and enjoy using stock miui
(other than the first boot being a bootloop)
I was using miui 11.0.4 before flashing a custom rom
If any of the guys that port the custom roms want to look into this i would be greatful
Ive tried using "eOS" which has a boot animation which says "my data is MY data" when it finishes booting, so you can tell when it boots
when i boot into the rom it works until i enter the set up , after i do it crashes into a bootloop, i can see that it boots (due to animation) , but just keeps rebooting
If anybody is willing to test this, because i am not anymore, try flashing the vanilla build of arrow OS (link) since it does not include a set up screen
Does this rom also bootloop?, since it seems to be related to a set-up screen (???)
Also do GSI ROMs also have the same issue? If you try theese, please post your findings in the comments

Recovery partition is verified by vbmeta.
You need to disable verification in vbmeta.
Doesn't matter what version is, if vbmeta is disabled, it will not verify any partition.
If you flash any custom partition without disable verification on vbmeta (or change vbmeta version without disabled verification), it will keeps bricked until you flash original stock rom firmware.
If you are flashing anything, you are changing stock rom.
You can only change stock rom with unlocked bootloader.
If your bootloader is locked, it will keeps bricked until you flash stock rom and unlock bootloader.

yeah, i used the disable verification command on vbmeta, the bootloader is unlocked, but the issue is that i installed the wrong version of the vbmeta, and other things are that my device won't sow in mi flash or SP flash tool, but it shows up in platform tools when the phone was in fastboot mode

Thank you very much now It works, but I want to ask you: Why can not i enter in recovery Mode? I tried the power on and volume down combination, but the phone enter only fastboot mode with "oplus verification failed" message. If I do a factory reset under the Android, the phone load the recovery, until resetting.

How To Guide GSI Install guide for Motorola G50 and 5G

A simple guide to installing custom GSI's on Motorola G50.
This works only on Qualcomm models that are from G series of Motorola.
Recomended flashing stock android 12 to your phone to get NFC functionality back and for bluetooth disconecting there is a workaround by going to Phh's treble settings and enabling "Force Disable A2DP offload"
What will you need?​
Motorola's fastboot tools (attached to thread.) Update these don't work now. Use latest version of fastboot.
Unlocked bootloader
blank vbmeta (Included with Fastboot.)
Generic System Image of your choice.
Unlocking bootloader will void your warranty and erase your data (If you have any important data you can backup in System settings or using LMSA tool, I am NOT responsible for any damage that you make. If you **** up you can always restore to stock by using LMSA tool from Motorola.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Download your GSI image. Because there isn't any TWRP recovery for G50 (ibiza) yet. We need to download GSI image with gapps like Pixel Experience or Lineage OS 19 with GMS.
Download fastboot and adb tools from Motorola. Since some features like "fastboot oem get_unlock_data" dosen't work
Unlock bootloader (If you have unlocked bootloader skip this step.). There's a guide on motorola site to help you unlock your bootloader. Here you have the guide https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a/
After unlocking bootloader we can go to installing our GSI.
Boot to bootloader. You can do it by turning off your phone and pressing at the same time Power + Volume down or using adb by "adb reboot bootloader"
After doing that you need to reboot to fastbootd. You can do it by typing in fastboot "fastboot reboot fastboot"
If you boot to a screen with bold red text written "fastbootd" we can go to erasing data and system partitions. But after we can do that we need to flash vbmeta.
Flash vbmeta.img to bypass AVB (Android Verified Boot.) : "fastboot --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img" and wait until it says OK
If we did that we can erase system partition by typing in fastboot "fastboot erase system" If it says OK we can go to the next step
If we get "CANNOT RESIZE SYSTEM PARTITION" do this: "fastboot delete-logical-partition product_a" and "fastboot delete-logical-partition product_b"
Now it's time to flash our GSI. To do that just type "fastboot --u flash system *name of your gsi*.img
And wait until it flashes and DO NOT REBOOT!!!
After successful flash we need to type "fastboot -w"
And now you can reboot.
If you did everything and your device boots then congrats you did it. If you have questions or issues reply to this thread and I will do my best to help you!
And this is my first guide and I was scratching my head how to do that so yeah that took some time.

If you wanna clean Ui and smooth experience dotOS should be good for you.
Currently im using Pixel Experience 12 alpha and it works good. And im still working on nfc fix. If you have more questions feel free to ask me.
Also if you want to choose GSI you need an A/B version "arm64-ab".

Hi
I flashed 100s of phones using fastboot
I'm aware of how to boot to fastboot and using cmd
The thing is there is no such command for fastboot
Fastboot reboot bootloader takes you to the same window
However I managed to boot to fastbootd
Using phone terminal
su reboot fastboot
But again my phone is rooted (magisk) so I don't think if I can flash a GSI on a rooted phone

I forgot to add that booting to fastbootd mode and flashing gsi with Magisk it will just simply bootloop. By flashing stock boot image gsis run flawlessly but HavocOS dosen't want to boot. I'll make a quick video how to do this if you need more context.

Hi, again.
I've made a video that could help you flash gsi on your Moto G50
If you have more issues you can dm me on xda.

Hello, can I use this guide and the file provided to flash my Chinese version of this phone (ibiza_retcn). It has 8gb if ram, 128gb of storage and no NFC. Everything else seem the same (CPU is snap)

Yeah! Fastboot and vbmeta are correct for the ibiza-retcn. But if you mess something up you can revert back to stock using motorola's tool LMSA. Currently I have my moto g50 in repair center because i forgot that you cannot relock bootloader on motorola phones. And please be careful, if you'll be stuck on bootloop when you flashed some gsi, it isn't bricked just flash another. Some gsis dosen't always work on this phone. Tommorow I will prowide list of compatible gsis that will work on this phone.

Nice language in Your device
Thx for the guide, lacking TWRP or any custom recovery, could be a pain... However old-school methods are still 'a gold skills'.
See U around!
Hello,
Just a small FYI - Pixel Experience A12 boots and so far works OK as well
If I manage to implement root solution, I will stay with it for a little bit longer.
Wish U all good day!

Currently my motorola is in repair because i bricked it. Now waiting for them to call me and pick my phone up. I'm happy that my guide worked for you!
For root like Magisk I had almost done Magisk but with "Task Failed Succesfully" by making to bootanimation and not booting. About In Februrary or March magisk should be working.
After texting motorola they release their MyUX A12 on Februrary If you're interested.
Wish that your phone with PE12 will work without any issues (only nfc

Thanks very much for the guide. I now have Pixel Experience 12 V402 working.
I tired to get magisk working (patched boot.img in the magisk app then back to fastbootd and "fastboot flash boot magisk_boot.img" but it boot loops. I also tried flashing to both boot_a and boot_b.
Can you tell me how you got this working?

When PE12 v401 got released the Magisk app appeared in app drawer and it just needed to reboot to setup magisk so i did that and Magisk worked flawlessly. It also worked on my A50 so i didn't patched the boot.img

many many many thanks for this thread. I was very suprised to see that this cheap smartphone had so little support from the bigger custom roms (like, for instance lineageos). I will try pixelexperience - can you please provide some help identifying which "codename" is hould download to flash my Motog50?
Thanks again
Any Degoogled ROMs for this device? Currently I am on stock rooted with magisk but with many problems like GPS not working correctly and some motorola update reminders popping out. Any help Highly appreciated
You can try Phh's AOSP with FLOSS variant degoogled and open source apps.

btw do u know if i should install magisk the zip flash way or the patched boot.img way?
I always roo with fastboot method
But remember that you must disable avb before flashing the patched img.
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
If you skip disableing avb then you are sure to be stuck in a bootloop coz I have faced it myself.
And if you flash the recovery first then again i recommend you to follow the same step of disabling avb before flashing recovery.img

Btw which miui version are you using?

You can uninstall bloatware with adb once you root your mobile and then install an mtz theme.
You will not even feel like you are using miui after doing that.
Btw should I make a thread on uninstalling bloatware with adb?

[Guide] Root for Redmi Note 9 - Mediatek (Helio G85)
Preamble: After a bit of research, I've found a simple way to - at least - obtain root privileges on the basic version of Redmi Note 9 (Mediatek - Helio G85). The procedure has been tested on a Redmi Note 9 Global NFC 4/128 (Model: M2003J15SG)...

You can skip erasing userdata and cache coz it will reset your mobile.
But if you don't want to take any risk and decide to reset then REMEMBER THE PASSWORD OF YOUR MI ACCOUNT
after reset your phone will be locked until you verify your mi account.
Make sure to backup all the data on your phone before flashing

General Unofficial TWRP Image Leak

I have eagerly been waiting for the release of a TWRP image or MSM tool for this device, to no avail
I have seen on one of these posts, found here, a potentially working TWRP image.
Currently it is just the twrp.img without any zip
Directly download it here
As said below, this should be flashable within magisk to install
- I have NOT tested this personally
- I am not advising anybody try this image either
- Password decryption appears to not be functional
- This appears to only function on Android 13

It should be able to flash into magisk, but there is no guarantee that flashing into rom can enter the system

Agreed. I'm sure there are some people willing to give it a shot.
I haven't flashed an image since split partitions has existed, which is a fairly long time now
Even with the OP10, I am still unrooted. TWRP provides just that extra bit of security to me
I tested the twrp. I flashed to A then flashed to B . Put phone to fastboot flashed using the fastboot commands
( fastboot flash recovery_a ) then flashed B using commands ( fastboot flash recovery_b ) . From fastboot went to recovery . Booted up twrp recovery . Change language to English ( second from bottom right ) . Completed backup , reboot phone ok . Then went back into fastboot and reboot to twrp recovery. So its seems to be working ok so far.

how do you operate
Beware, this twrp.img is not bootable. Command fastboot boot twrp.img won't work, you will get bootloop into OP logo. Rebooting into fastboot mode and doing fastboot boot stockboot.img will help.
So it means you can only flash it directly. Confirmed by me and three others.
