Wait for moment when battery is at 0% and phone will shut down. Boot into fastboot and flash TWRP recovery, create backup, wipe all on device and reboot it.

I tried that. My phone has been in this state for probably a month already. I heard the only solution is DC Phoenix via testpoint method.

Try Firmware finder for huawei + erecovery method , which is :
- download firmware finder on *another android phone* and search for exact phone model (ex : PRA-LA1C185)
- choose the very first firmware down the list
- Get an update thorugh dns >> Manually >> Register update
- After that , reboot your bricked phone into erecovery by ( power + volume*+*)
- press download recovery and last firmware
- wait till getting package
- by now should firmware start downloading
- let phone complete it's work and reboot
Hope that's work for you ?

About your problem - If your phone throws errors when you try to boot into TWRP, then something is wrong with TWRP (for example you flashed incompatibile version). Boot into bootloader aka fastboot mode and try to flash TWRP again from there.
Off-topic part: In my opinion, this is the most helpful & best community about Android phones. Noone is going to help you if you keep spamming. Just be patient, we are humans, not robots

Bootloader can't be locked if you managed to flash TWRP. Do the following:
1. Make sure the phone is turned off
2. Hold Vol- and plug the usb cable in
3. You should be in bootloader aka fastboot mode
4. Flash TWRP using (p8 lite 2015) fastboot flash recovery <path>.img
5. fastboot reboot

Use fastboot flash recovery only on 2015 variant. You need to use recovery ramdisk on 2017 variant

Everyone, I made a guide on my website to unbrick the device.

Recovey change that goes worng

Hi all,
I'm trying to understand what did I do wrong.
I bought my device with an unlocked bootloader miui V8 (global rom).
I tried to flash TWRP recovey and MIUI PRO rom. I follow the steps that are mentioned here
and got soft brick - the device got stuck on the mi logo (with the unlock sign), even when I wait in patience the device just turned off.
- At the beginning I flashed the TWRP recovery by xuefer, boot into it and flashed the dm-verity disabler (as mentioned in the guide) and got error 1.
I reboot the device and it didn't boot.
- I boot to the recovery again and wipe the data - didn't boot.
Boot to recovery again and wipe to factory
-I flashed the MIUI PRO rom and the device still didn't boot.
I tired to flash the TWRP recovery by iscle - now the dm-verity disabler succeed but the device still didn't boot.
made the wiping steps as above again - and the device still got stuck at the mi logo.
At any step I manged to boot into the TWRP recovery and fastboot mode.
My lest option was to go back to the global stock rom using MiFlash
Now I'm on Global MIUI 9 with locked bootloadr
What did I do wrong?
I want to unlock the bootloader and to get back my control on my device.
Please advice
Thanks

Download the latest TWRP on this forum. Flash it. After, go to twrp, wipe data, cache, flash MIUI PRO rom, and after flash also flash the latest SuperSU zip. Then try again and see if it's gonna boot up.

how sure were you that the device had an unlocked bootloader when you purchased it? if it was brand new, certainly its bootloader is locked.

Do you have an open padlock when your phone is booting ?
Remember to boot to twrp just after flashing and before booting to the rom.

Thank you all for your answers!

I've checked the bootloader status in the Dev menu and with fastboot (fastboot oem device-info).
In addtion to all I had the open padlock sign when the turned on the device.

I had the open padlock sign.
Now unfortunately I flashed with MiFlash the global rom and my bootloader is locked.
I want to know the mistake I've done - so I don't fail with it again after I'll get the approval to open my bootloader.
Thanks

no mistake, they are three batches files in the rom zip. One of them is relocking the bootloader.
Flash_all with without erase data
Flash_all with wipe data
Flash_all with relock bootloader
I don't know miflash interface but you unfortunately choose the third choice. You need now to unlock your bootloader again (maybe by creating a new xiaomi account, not sure of this).

I'm sorry if you miss understood me, but I meant to the mistake I've made with the TWERP and rom flashing.
I can't figured out what I've did wrong.

Sorry if was not clear but the problem could be here :
Now unfortunately I flashed with MiFlash the global rom and my bootloader is locked.
II think you choose in Mi Flash tool an option to flash with re-lock the bootloader (don"t know how it's designed in the app because I flashed my phone manually, using one of the 3 batch files).
Hope it will help you.

Hi! As others have already told you,
What I would do is to completely format the phone with Mi Flash (download the latest global stable fastboot version from http://en.miui.com/a-234.html), then flash it to the phone using the Flash All option, then flash my recovery or the one from xuefer (the one you prefer, both work), if you are flashing miui pro I think there is no need to flash the dm-verity file, so just wipe system + data + cache and flash miuipro.zip

Thank you all for your replais !
I will try and update right after I'll get the bootloader unlock approval.
Meanwhile you all have a great day !

Troubles reinstalling TWRP [Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error]

I dirty flashed a new version of xiaomi.eu stable build, and it caused TWRP to uninstall itself.
Whenever I hold power on and volume up it just goes to fastboot.
Now I tried reinstalling TWRP like I've done many times before, but it keeps throwing an error. The error I get is when trying to boot without flashing the img. When I do this, I get the error:
Code:
fastboot boot TWRP.img"
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 1.609s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error)
finished. total time: 1.675s
Anyone gotten any ideas on what could be going on here? I'm scared to try anything as my phone currently works, but I need TWRP back to update my phone to a different versions and to install the clock mod again.
Thanks!

Got it to load once, but now back to square one. Throwing same error.

Now when running the command fastboot reboot recovery it's saying
Code:
fastboot: usage: unknown reboot target recovery
And writing 'fastboot boot twrp.img' turns the phone off / makes the screen go black. Fully bricked now as the OS wont load either.

Try on a computer with a USB 2.0 port, or a different usb cable, had the same issue once

Ended up having to reinstall dev rom. Device relocked, so have to wait 15 days again. @BusterBg_18 Thanks, will do when I unlock the device
EDIT: When using Mi Flash tool, make sure to check 'clean all' and not 'clean all and lock' in the bottom right. That's what set me back 2 weeks.

I have the same error. How can I fix this pls?

Flash the latest official rom then start all over again. Follow the post above you about miflash.

Hello, I've had the same problem, then flashed latest dev rom via MiFlash and it booted, but now after I flash any custom ROM in TWRP i have this issue again and need to reflash chinese ROM. How can I flash any custom rom?

i'm stuck in the same issue. stuck in fastboot and it would not load recovery. any fix?

Hi, i fixed the "Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error" by simply restarting the Device.
It seems to appear randomly when flashing partitions and then block all further Transfers.
If the Device loops in Fastboot, the only Solution to me was re flashing the Stock Firmware.

I have the same Issue, but reflashing Stock Firmware or making OTA Updates dident helped for me. Ive already tried TWRP and OrangeFox without success. The Screen always turns black and Fastboot stays active in an limited Mode, any Ideas? My host Computer only has 3.0+ Ports only, but ive used an 2.0 Extender so it should be fine?

long time ago now. but i remember at one point having to flash the stock firmware using the mi unlock tool. i also remember trying every single version of twrp and rom until one finally worked. sorry i can't help much but i believe that's how i eventually fixed it.

copy this files below from rom image to adb folder
1. system.img (command in adb >> fastboot flash system system.img)
2. boot.img (command in adb like #1, change the name of img file) do till #6
3. vendor.img
4. dtbo.img
5. cust.img
6. misc.img
7. now flashing twrp/recovery.img (choose twrp compatible with rom you want to install) with adb
8. the "fastboot boot recovery.img" with adb

2. boot.img（adb 中的命令，如#1，更改 img 文件的名称）直到 #6
3. 供应商.img
4.dtbo.img
5. 自定义.img
6. 杂项.img
7. 现在用adb刷twrp/recovery.img（选择twrp与你要安装的rom兼容）
8. adb 的“fastboot boot recovery.img”
9. twrp刷入rom

Once you install TWRP, you will not be able to boot to Stock rom, so just install stock rom after that.

Yes, that is normal default screen. there is nothing wrong in it.
You can install official twrp or any other recovery available for Redmi 4X for e.g orangefox, redwolf or some other(s).
Flashing recovery is very simple, since you've already bootloader unlocked then just flash it via fastboot.

It would seem that for me Flashing the TWRP Recovery (or any other, tried Orangefox too) doesn't work. I would really appreciate some input on this.
Here's some info:
- Redmi 4
- MIUI 10.2 | Stable // 10.2.2.0(MBECNXM)
- Android version 6.0.1
- Android Security Patch level 2018-04-01
- Unlocked the Phone (Successfully)
- Booted into fastboot
- used "fastboot flash recovery <filename>.img" to flash the twrp image (also tried older versions of the twrp image; also tried the orange fox recovery image)
It gives me the following output:
Code:
C:\Minimal ADB and Fastboot> fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Sending 'recovery' (36040 KB) OKAY [ 1.002s]
Writing 'recovery' OKAY [ 0.977s]
Finished. Total time: 2.046s
- I proceed to use "fastboot boot twrp.img"
It gives me the following output:
Code:
C:\Minimal ADB and Fastboot> fastboot boot twrp.img
Sending 'boot.img' (36040 KB) OKAY [ 1.001s]
Booting FAILED (remote: 'dtb not found')
fastboot: error: Command failed
Now unto the errors / things I've tried:
- If I try to just use "fastboot reboot" -> it proceeds to eternally get stuck on the "mi.com" loading screen
- If I try to use the "standard" power off > Power + Vol Up -> The phone boots into the Chinese interface which is not TWRP (yellow big buttons, bottom button is blue) -> I change the language to english, hit "Recovery" and it yet again either stays stuck or boots into Mi 3.0 Recovery
I have tried all TWRP Santoni versions currently officially available on the official TWRP site.
All give me the same error if I try to boot the recovery direclty through fastboot as seen above: "(remote: dtb not found)"
can anyone please help me with this?

- If I try to use the "standard" power off > Power + Vol Up -> The phone boots into the Chinese interface which is not TWRP (yellow big buttons, bottom button is blue) -> I change the language to english, hit "Recovery" and it yet again either stays stuck or boots into Mi 3.0 Recovery
I have tried all TWRP Santoni versions currently officially available on the official TWRP site.
All give me the same error if I try to boot the recovery direclty through fastboot as seen above: "(remote: dtb not found)"
can anyone please help me with this?

MIUI 10 has anti roll back protection. It makes sure if you make any changes to the recovery, it "rolls back" to the stock recovery.
To resolve this, just flash a custom ROM from TWRP from a USB OTG.

Sorry but I don't quite understand what you mean. Would you mind expanding on the "just flash a custom ROM from TWRP from a USB OTG"?
The issue I have is that I don't yet have managed to boot into TWRP because, even after successfully flashing it to the phone - I get the posted above error when trying to boot the .img directly from the PC. If I try to reboot the phone manually I can't boot into TWRP either - it either restarts into the MI Recovery 3.0 or it restarts to boot normally, which obviously wipes the TWRP recovery and restores MI Recovery.

Coz you might be running an older version of ROM sans Anti rollback protection, genius.

I added you Thank you

Hey guys. I figured out that I still run Android 6.0.1 on my Xiaomi Redmi 4 - despite having MIUI 10.2 and the phone not finding any new updates to be made. I assume that is the reason why I am unable to flash a TWRP recovery since they assume Santoni is for Android 7.1
I'm not quite sure how to get around this now.

Question Stuck in Fastboot after TWRP Wide data (unlocked bootloader)

Hello guys!
I am having issues with the battery (I think it's faulty) and I just wanted to reflash the EU MIUI Stable ROM to see if it's a software problem.
Currently with unlocked bootloader (no root) EU MIUI 13 STABLE and Android 12.
What I did:
didn't remember if I had TWRP installed and flashed EU MIUI 13 STABLE via Fastboot
MIUI 13 - MIUI 13 STABLE RELEASE
Status: RELEASED RULES WHEN POSTING 1. If a ROM is not published DONT ASK ABOUT ITS ETA 2. If a ROM is not published DONT ASK why! 3. If a ROM is available, download it and use it 4. If a ROM has bugs, post the bug to the bug section if the BUG is not already listed 5. If you use any form of...
xiaomi.eu
linux_fastboot_update_rom.sh was successful
but now stuck in MIUI Recovery mode after every boot
I guess I had TWRP installed and this is why it got issues?
So I decided to fix it by installing TWRP first, and then flash ROM via TWRP:
found official TWRP for Mi 11 here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-11-official-teamwin-recovery-project.4374109/
installed this via fastboot: fastboot boot twrp-3.6.2_11-0-venus.img
did "Advanced > Flash Current TWRP"
stuck in TWRP Recovery mode boot
did TWRP Wipe data (since required by installing the ROM)
stuck in Fastboot mode
it might have removed by mistake /system or /persist, I just did the default Wipe Data of TWRP
Device is correctly recognized with fastboot devices but I get this error when trying to boot with TWRP:
Code:
$ fastboot boot twrp-3.6.2_11-0-venus.img
Sending 'boot.img' (196608 KB) OKAY [ 4.999s]
Booting FAILED (remote: 'Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error')
fastboot: error: Command failed
Do you guys have any tip to recover the device? Any help very much appreciated

Seems you use a A11 TWRP for a A12 rom
Use A12 https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=321497

Code:
$fastboot boot twrp-3.6.2_12-v6.0_A12-venus-skkk.img
Sending 'boot.img' (196608 KB) OKAY [ 5.203s]
Booting FAILED (remote: 'Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error')
fastboot: error: Command failed
Any way to debug this?
