Hello, I never experienced this before so here I am trying to find some explanation, hopefully it's the right place... I have a Xiaomi Mi 5 Pro, few years old, sometimes slow but otherwise perfect, I changed the battery couple times.
Today I noticed it was at around 20% charge, I plug it to the wall, and leave it on the bed (turned on). After a few hours I go back to check on it and found the 100% indicator, but the phone was turned off.
I obviously try to turn it back on, but it gets stuck at the Mi logo (black screen with "unlocked" text below). I have installed a MIUI.eu rom ver. 11, twrp 3.2.3-0 recovery, and everything has been fine for years. I tried several times, still Mi logo (it's not bootloop, it's just stuck).
Suprised, I try to boot into recovery, and there I noticed that all the partitions are marked empty 0 bytes. I tried several things like backup, switching file format, restoring file system, etc., but it just won't work. It's like it has all been wiped and can't be mounted again.
I connected it to my desktop, MTP enabled from twrp, device recognized, storage completely empty. I remember I could see files there just the other day...
I tried all possible wipes, they won't work, either can't mount the partitions or other errors.
I already asked for suggestions elsewhere, which pointed me to fastboot flash using the adb/fastboot tools on Windows.
Well it says "Looking for devices...", the fastboot screen on the phone stays there for about 30 seconds, then it goes to the black Mi logo and then it shuts down.
Also if I boot in recovery, I can see it detected in the adb/fastboot tools screen, the scary part is that there it says "Bootloader: locked" (but it has been unlocked for years, and it even says unlocked in the black Mi screen!)
I'm lost, I never had anything like this, any suggestions to save the device? I would be really grateful

You probably don't have proper drivers for Mi 5 installed, download MIFLASH UNLOCK 3.5.1108.44 from here https://xiaomifirmware.com/downloads/download-mi-unlock-3-5-1108-44/
Double click on MiUsbDriver and install fastboot driver. Then phone will stay in fastboot mode when connected to PC, so you can try to install some original fastboot rom. I don't know what is the problem.

Thanks it was the driver stopping the fastboot.
Now I still cannot flash anything though, I get the following error:

Tried different roms, different MiFlash, from terminal, but same error.
From recovery I still see empty not mounted partitions.
Any other suggestions?
Well I don't know. Have you tried to format data in TWRP? Go into Wipe/Format Data/type yes (this will wipe EVERYTHING on phone) then from main menu reboot into recovery again and see if things changed.

Yes that was the first thing I tried unfortunately that's where I found out something was off... I can't wipe any partition, I can't mount any partition, I tried to switch filesystem but no luck.
I was reading in the forums here about "sudden death" and it kinda feels that's what happened. Phone fine one day, dead the next with no real explanation...

That's a bummer. I don't think that phone is dead, but it looks that it somehow locked itself. According to this guide https://flash-er.com/xiaomi-mi-5-flash-file/ you can flash fastboot roms only on unlocked devices. But you can't unlock it now in this state...

It's very weird, I've been flashing lots of stuff in the past but I've never been locked out like this.
And the joke is that the black Mi logo screen still says "unlocked" as it should be... no idea, maybe it is programmed to just give up after some years.
Could be that your TWRP recovery is corrupted. You can install new one from a fastboot mode:
1. Copy latest twrp-3.5.2_9-0-gemini.img to your fastboot tools location on PC
2. Put the phone in fastboot mode (power + volume down) and connect it to the computer
3. Enter these commands in cmd prompt:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.5.2_9-0-gemini.img
fastboot boot twrp-3.5.2_9-0-gemini.img
Then the phone will boot into new TWRP so you can check if it's ok.

I tried that, it gives the following error:
I noticed that even from MiFlash the device id sometimes disappears, not sure if that's the no link error
I really don't know what's going on. Maybe you can try this tutorial (it is for Mi 9, but can be applied to all Mi phones)

Hold the volume keys and power key at the same time for as long as u can....maybe even a few minutes until it shuts down. If all else fails let it drain then boot to recovery and gfix whatever caused the boot hang
Its drained just before 30 minutes, and now the view is that

Hi everyone!
I've got similar problem to that. My device shows: "Your device can’t be checked for corruption. Please lock the bootloader”. I tried to fix that with OST, but no succes - critical unlock is neccesary. I've flashed with OST 6.04, 6.12, NOST 0.6, but nothing works. Also the ADB and QFIL can't see the device, so I can not critical unlock bootloader. In the device manager, phone is seen as ADB Interference -> fastboot Device, and after installing google driver as Android ADB Interference. Recovery and fastboot modes don't work, download mode works only after connecting with OST. I tried holding 3 keys, but phone turns off after about 20s and nothing happen - I can't enter recovery. I bought this device recently and some time later after turning on it showed that statement. The varranty has expired, so I can't send it to service.
I hope you can help me.

Hello,
i have bought a new Xiaomi Mi A2 and thought it would be a really nice idea to flash magisk on it. First everything was alright. I unlocked my bootloader in fastboot with "fastboot oem unlock" and flashed twrp on the b partition. Unfortunately my device broke (don't know why... maybe the unofficial twrp with some bugs or...). So now i have a really big problem, because my twrp recovery is missing as well as the stock recovery. When i try to switch on the mobile i am stuck in bootloop (with the mi logo). Not even the bootloader warning is shown.
Fastboot mode is working but not really nice. Not even the mitu appears, no the display is black (or doesn't show anything.. The device's display is on).
My Mi A2 is recognized by the computer so I considered to flash the stock rom with fastboot.
I thought it would work, but in the mi flash programm i got the erorr: flash devcfg_a error.
Now i can't switch my mobile off, because when I'm holding the power button, it restarts and restarts and restarts...
I know i am stupid and maybe have done something wrong, but i would be soooo happy to get some help
Thank you so much!
Fastboot flashing unlock_critical
(It will wipe /data)
then flash with mi flash
But before doing that, try just flashing stock boot
Fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
Or boot_b if that's your active slot

I downloaded "jasmine_global_images_V10.0.2.0.PDIMIFJ_20181206.0000.00_9.0_02b8deeb6d.tar" and flashed that on miflash and watched my phone come back from the dead like frankestein or something.

I have the same issue in PC I'm writing this from (in USB3.1 Gen2 and Gen 1 ports, and even in USB 2.0 ports), but have no problems in 2 other PCs I currently have access to.
For non-universal solution with my current PC please see more info in my answer in neighbouring thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81693759&postcount=28.
Hello everyone, yesterday morning, Sunday 12/15/19, the system message "restart the device to make the system update effective".
So I do as I have always been.
The phone, an Mi A2, goes into bootloop and then a white screen appears on a black background with the title:
"<!> Failed to boot"
"Press the Volume keys to select then the Power button to continue.
RETRY
POWER OFF "
Choosing "RETRY" verifies bootloop 3 or 4 times and then the recovery mode screen appears which says:
"Can't Load Android system. Your data may be corrupted. You should get the message you need to perform at factory data reset and erase all user data stored on this device."
It gives me the choice between:
-Try again
-Factory data reset
Choosing "Try again" returns the same routine as when "RETRY" is selected In the previous black background screen, bootloop and then the black background white screen described at the beginning.
I MUST ACCESS AND SAVE THE VERY IMPORTANT CONTENT. :crying:
I have all the photos and videos of my newborn daughter. I usually backup but this inconvenience suddenly caught me.
I surfed and I saw that many people found this problem after an update .. but I never found any solutions. I called the Xiaomi center in Novara indicated by the site but they told me that they only serve as a collection center to send to the assistance in the company Xiaomi, saying that the assistance resets the phone to restore its functioning and does not save the data. I tried to start the fastboot, the device is recognized by the PC and shows the locked bootloader. The program MiFlash asks me to start to install a set of drivers and then immediately generate an unhandled exception and crash.
Attached the images.
Can you help me? I do not know what to do..

You should try to use adb in recovery, if it works, you could digit "adb pull /sdcard".
Continue rebooting with external power on. Android One with A/B slots is supposed to reboot into previously (before OTA) active slot.

I don't think so, when you are in recovery you should try to verify if your device is connected with "adb devices" and then you should use the command "adb pull /sdcard". But it usually works with custom recoveries, and if you have prevently enabled usb debugging.

First you can try to search this forum and read dozens of discussions of the same issue. Meanwhile you can plug in power adapter and reboot several times with pauses, probably sometimes switching to stock recovery and to fastboot mode, and then leave phone powered for a night.

Thanks....I will try, I don't remember if I enabled the usb debugging mode, for sure I saw with fastboot that I have the bootloader Locked.
nothing to do...i tried ADB mode, but it is not enabled, only fastboot mode where i can do nothing because the bootloader is locked.
I also tried to install the Xiaomi tool, but it doesnt recognize the device.
i dont know what to do....

Anyway, can you tell me what I have to do to change the active partition? Maybe I don't do it as I should....
@pedrix82: I can only repeat, though you do not read and trust:
- the only (legal*) way to save data in bootloop with locked device is to boot;
- all other options are blocked for a locked Mi A2, - resetting, unlocking, etc. will erase user data; switching Slots and/or loading TWRP need unlocked phone; stock recovery is useless;
- Android One partitions system with A/B Slots was specifically designed to solve problems of failed OTAs, see https://source.android.com/devices/tech/ota/ab and https://android.googlesource.com/pl...ware/+/master/include/hardware/boot_control.h
Which means that: if you have bootloop after OTA on full stock (and have not tampered device yourself), after numerous attempts to boot -> the bootloader MUST detect that active Slot does not have bootable OS and MUST switch to the other Slot.
(non-legal*) - or read memory chip content at low-level and decipher encrypted data.

It's really long time that I'm rebooting the mobile since it happened...
But cyclically and alternate I got the two image attached to the main post....
try a "fastboot continue" in adb
hello everyone, update.
unfortunately I was unable to recover anything and proceeded with the factory reset.
The phone has reset and everything is working.
So I thought to try to do a file recovery as you do for deleted files.
for the various recovery applications I need to root the device.
For this phone should be really simple but I'm still stuck in.
I followed one guide, then another, and then another .... all with the same procedures.
the result is that twrp recovery, if loaded with Vol + and pwr button hangs on the custom recovery logo.
I can only start the twrp recovery installed in the secondary partition of the phone.
but from this recovery, even if I install Magisk, with a successful results from the recovery, I do not root the device. I verified root with Magisk manager and rootchecker.
Help.... thanks

This guide works for everybody, except that
(1) there is obsolete "fastboot oem unlock" command stated which should better be changed to "fastboot flashing unlock", and
(2) guide does not mention that each unlock step is to be approved on phone, and
(3) guide skips step of patching stock boot.img in phone with MagiskManager, - while exactly this step creates archived copy of stock boot image in /data root, thus allowing to restore images (actually restoring stock boot image) before downloading next OTA, and
(4) only 1st variant - that is booting into patched boot image and then making "Direct Install" is safe - it allows to check that patched boot image is suitable for ROM.

IMHO that just means that you did not do your homework (I mean you have not read guides and discussions and Google info with links I provided) well enough to understand that with A/B slots partitions structure there is no separate /recovery partition in phone (instead, recovery is embedded into /boot image), and thus we cannot just "flash TWRP" into MiA2.
Instead, TWRP can only be embedded into boot image (patching previously flashed suitable boot image), which is made by installing TWRP.zip in temporarily booted TWRP.img. Thus, if you want to have both root and permanent TWRP (I still do not see why anybody needs permanent TWRP with rooted stock), first get root with patched boot image, and then install TWRP patching this Magisk-patched boot image once more.
And I do think that "TWRP 4pda edition" is working better than so called "official TWRP".
Found the solution,
First u need to get to the recovery menu by pressing vol up + power, tap it multiple times after retry boot...you have to be quick...and eventually will get to the android robot pic with "no command"....keep pressing till you get to the full recovery menu. (this might take multiple tries)
Then go to update using adb. (you need all the files for adb, usb drivers, latest mi a2 update zip, you can find tutorials in youtube/google )
after updating it should boot up fine with all data intact.
If latest update versions dont boot, try repeating will older version.
Make sure you backup everthing afterwards! and enable oem unlocking &usb debugging for potential future issues.
Hope this helps!
I tried to root my redme note 9 using magdisc from pc. after completing all steps, I have given command to boot recovery through minimal adb, after that phone automatically moved from Fastboot mode and started blinking REDME on screen, a few moments later it goes black and again appear. it keeps continuing now. I tried long press on the power button for restart/switch off, but no use, it will vibrate and ON with redme logo, and will go black after few moments. i tried to enter into fast boot mode, but result is same, it will vibrate and go OFF, when I tried to connect pc, pc is not recogonizing this phone anymore. nothing is working, cant even switch off

How can I do that, to force flashing using sp flash tool? something similar happens to me only that it does not turn on and when I connect it to the pc comes out the following error that I will attach an image and translate:
'usb device is not recognized
the last device you connected to this computer did not work and Windows does not recognize it.'
what can i do in that case?

I briked my phone.. cycling boot logo, cannot get to fastboot, cannot get to recovery, EDL does not work and the phone does not even show up in computer...
So I restarted my phone today and it just entered an infinite boot loop. Not sure what happened but that's all it's doing whenever I turn it on. I can enter the bootloader but other than that nothing is working. I noticed the bootloader and baseband are empty as well.
I wish this phone had an unbrick tool like the oneplus 7 devices but I don't know. I guess I may just have a brick until someone shakes.

That's not good usually one or the other fixes it. Only thing I can think of is flashing all images in fastboot. But try vendor_boot first
When this happened to me on my OP6 when I had it and when I couldn't recover it with MSM tools or boot.img, I decided it is motherboard failure.
But I would try fastboot ROM if I were you. If it doesn't help, I will send it to the service center.
You may have booted a patched yet not made it permanent so when you rebooted you lost it.
If that rings a bell then just boot a patched boot image. Not flash.. once you're booted and in the system just open magisk and click direct install..
Reboot and it should be permanent.
Beyond that you can go to recovery or fastboot to get back in business although you'll lose your data
My phone did this once when I accidentally changed A/B partition, try switching partition via fastboot
Do the following
fastboot getvar all
then you'll get somewhere the following
(bootloader) current-slot:A or B
then you should be able to do either
fastboot set_active other
or either
fastboot set_active a
fastboot set_active b

I tried switching slots the other day, it gave me the same results.
hello did you found any solutions?

That means you have no boot img on it
try to flash a boot img to slot a and slot b
Is this still ongoing?? Lol that's insanity.
The reason you cannot boot is 100% your boot image.
So either boot or flash a boot image (stock or patched)
If you'd like to reflash your whole phone then click on vol up and then recovery.
If you're looking for a tool then grab fastboot enhance, whilst in fastboot use it to remove the cow files, search for them, once that's done, flash a payload.bin and this will reload your whole OS.
There are guides for everything I've mentioned above, just search.

Hi,
I have the same problem. Never used the phone. Just to install Magisk and edit the payload.bin file. When I installed the new boot file via Fastboot it went wrong.
Tried everything but can't get the phone out of the loop. I don't have a recovery function!
You indicate that there are manuals for existing solutions everywhere. Do you have the links for me? Not very good at finding this.

Doesn't help that the forums went through a crap update that broke the sections.
That being said, you're looking for a guide so that's your key word.
(Guide) Rooting, payload dumper, magisk_patched guides NE2213
Hi all, Thought i'd share a guide on how to get these boot images yourself as well as all the files required, plus the patched boot.img if you just want to go ahead and boot/flash it without obtaining one yourself Please read the process before...
forum.xda-developers.com
There's a good few of them, the screen shot is taken from the main OnePlus 10 pro forum section, I can see two. Mine and the 2215 one.
Also when you say 'installed' I hope you meant boot and not flash, booting is risk free.. Read my thread and it'll make sense.
I wish people would read more...cause it all here...just need to take the time and read alot of post...to find what they are looking for...lol
