Stuck in fastboot, unable to flash twrp or system - Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe

Hi,
I think I broke something while updating my system, I was going from old PixelExperience to a new one and while flashing it with TWRP, it broke TWRP, instead of booting to it through recovery it started booting to fastboot, but I decided to try to fix it and flash TWRP again. When I was doing that my device broke even more. Now I am stuck in fastboot, I am not able to boot into system or flash TWRP.
The only way I can access TWRP is if I do fastboot boot twrp.img from my folder on my PC, but after I get to TWRP and try to install PixelExperience again, rebooting to system boots me back to fastboot.
I HAVE SCREWED UP ROYALLY. Please help, I am out of ideas and don't know what to do...

Update: managed to flash OrangeFox recovery from the booted TWRP so thats some progress I guess?

Fixed, thank god for OrangeFox, it helped, idk how to close this thread but it is ok to close if any mods want to do that

XT1095 Only able to boot into bootloader or TWRP recovery

Whenever my recovery is TWRP I am not able to boot into any type of ROM. Every time I reboot my phone it will be past the "your bootloader is unlock" and always boots straight into TWRP. When I flash stock recovery I am stuck at a image of a Android and it just stays at "erasing..." till it reboots itself. I have attempted to flash different types of roms by sideloading through TWRP and also attempted to flash stock recovery through fastboot with no luck at all.
The issue started whenever I was on stock 6.0 and flashed TWRP. Once I was in TWRP at the end when I was rebooting my phone I said yes to install supersu, which I know now was a mistake. Afterwards I was stuck in a bootloop were I finally attempted to do a factory reset which seemed to have made things worse. That was when I was stuck at the "erasing..." whenever I attempted to boot through stock recovery. Not sure what else to try at this point.
Any help would be great at this point.
I'm in the same boat. Exact same problem with no idea how to fix. I can get into fastboot screen, but that's it. Suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Redmi 4X bootloop after installing TWRP?

Hi,
I'm having a bit of trouble. I had a brand new Redmi 4X, and I was advised to install TWRP, root it, and install the Xiaomi.eu rom until LineageOS is released. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP, managed to get into it once and now I can't do it again. When TWRP loaded it asked me for a password for decryption but it let me just skip it it seems (not sure if that is the problem) but now I can't boot normally, I can't boot into recovery, but fastboot seems to work okay. How do I go about fixing this?
I've tried reflashing TWRP but I still can't get to it, and I don't really know enough about this stuff to know where I've gone wrong.
UPDATE - I think this is to do with dm-verity and having the stock kernel installed. Now it's too late to undo what I've already done, so I hope to god that someone knows how to fix this.
UPDATE - Right, the problem is solved I think. I had to do an awful lot of googling, and I'm not entirely sure what it was specifically that fixed it. But I found a guide that taught me the fastboot command "fastboot boot twrp.img" which saved the day. Even when my phone wouldn't let me into recovery, it allowed me to flash a no-verity.zip which i think is what allowed me to boot, and it allowed me to flash superSU.zip and then the ROM I was aiming for. And now I've booted into the ROM successfully and hopefully I am rooted and all is well. Plus I can access TWRP as normal now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Can you boot into TWRP by pressing the buttons so that you boot directly to TWRP??
Have you tried Command Prompt to boot with commands in to recovery??
And if you get into TWRP you should have everything on the SDCard and then just
format all things except SDCard and then flash from SDCard everything
That is what I would try..and yes it ask for a password but just skip it to get to it
If you can get into TWRP to flash from SDCard then you good to go..if not
Google all the commands for CMD..and plug your phone to the PC and flash everything with the
commands.....
Let us know what is working and what not and what steps exectly you are doing
EDIT
Turn off your device > Press and hold “Power” and “Volume +” buttons at the same time.
After short vibration signal release the power button and wait for TWRP to start.
To boot in stock recovery open “Update” app.
In the setting select “Boot in recovery”.

Thanks for the reply. I can't get into TWRP. Even if I could get into TWRP how would I get files on the phone to flash them?
Is it possible to flash any rom from the pc directly and if it is will this possibly help? I think it's not booting because the kernel is still stock.
I'm not sure what you mean in the edit, how do I boot into stock recovery without being able to boot the phone (and when I have already flashed TWRP)?

Hey, I have exactly the same problem. Latest stock rom, flashed twrp in fastboot and got into the boot loop. Nothing works. I can only enter fastboot. What exactly did you do then? What is this no-verity.zip? I can't find anything about it.
I had a problem
I unlocked bootloader then installed redwolf recovery and took a nandroid backup. After that i rebooted to system but stuck into bootloop, could not boot to recovery, could not boot into system, So the only thing worked was that i flashed fastboot rom with mi flasher. And syccessfully rebooted to system with bootloader locked and stock recovery. So, if anyone have same problem you can do the same. How do i install recovery safely again? Should i use TWRP only? Should i flash v3.1.0 with lazy flasher or v3.2 directly without lazy flasher? I don't want to stuck into bootloader again, have to get all data deleted.

[URGENT] Stuck in Bootloop. Help.!!!

I was on MUI9 Nougat 7.1.2. Unlocked my bootloader properly. Wanted to try out Google Camera. So I searched the forum, found TWRP 3.0.3 Installer. Installed the TWRP successfully. Then I thought of installing the new TWRP, so flashed TWRP 3.2.1 from the previous TWRP. When I booted back to Recovery, saw the Encryption Error. I never set any password. Got tensed. Searched the forums again for solution. Found that I have to format the data. So formatted the data, flashed LazyFlasher. Did not know what else to do, tried booting and got stuck in Bootloop. I only have Internal Storage. And have one OTG Pendrive in case it comes handy. Downloaded Dot OS 7.1.2 and tried to install it from the OTG by booting back to TWRP, failed, it said Corrupt ZIP, but the zip file was ok. So started the process again, rebooted back to TWRP, wiped everything and this time tried to flash an old MIUI9 Recovery ROM through it, it still gave the same error, Corrupt ZIP. So basically what I have left is that I can boot into TWRP and also Fastboot is working well. But dont know how to get past this Bootloop. Someone please help. Really urgent. So tensed. :crying:
do you flash miui rom in twrp or miflash? try to flash the miui rom with miflash and see if ur phone booted up or not.

Thanks bro. Never mind. Somehow managed to flash DotOS Nougat version through TWRP 3.0.3. Now bro please tell me one thing. I wont stay at DotOS, I dont like it, just flashed it to get through the bootloop. So now I have downloaded MIUI9 8.3.22 Developer Recovery ROM. Still having TWRP 3.0.3, BL Unlocked, ADB working, Fastboot working, USB Debugging everything taken care off. Just tell me steps to flash the Developer ROM now so that I dont go into bootloop again. Please. Thanks in advance.
ummm kinda easy actually, download the miflash software, open it, it should have the select, refresh, and flash menu. click select, and navigate to your rom file (u need to download the fastboot rom version! not the recovery version, should be easy to find in google. the format should be .tgz change it to rar, extract it, it will shows another rar extract it again, it should be folder now) that folder is your rom file. now enter fastboot mode, plug ur phone, and click refresh. it will shows some number and alphabet. if the number and alphabet appears, click flash! and wait! and ur phone will boot itself
sorry for **** english
1. Go to twrp...
2. Wipe (cache, data, dalvik/cache, system)
3. flash miui 9 dev 8.3.22
4. flash lazyflasher...
Reboot..
It will take more then 5 min to start (first boot usually take that much time)
Your phone boot normally....
If you are facing TWRP Recovery Issue then update TWRP

Have you tried Erecovery to restore stock?
On the bootloader unlocked warning screen press and hold volume+ for 3 secs.
Needs to use WiFi.
Try yo reflash twrp in fastboot mode. The command is fastboot flash recovery_ramdisdisk twrp. Img
Before you have to put twrp. img in the adb folder
I'm experiencing the same problem after trying to root my h9l through twrp the mistake I made is that I flashed the image in a wrong partition.
I can only access a fastboot mode with frp and phone unlocked, it cannot even display a charging screen. Once plugged it keeps on rebooting and hangs on error screen,
I have tried to flash kernel,ramdisk, recover_ramdisk and system images all on their respective partition, the flashing went well, but the phone didn't respond.
I've tried to flash boot.IMG (some one posted for h9l,) into Boot partition, but it revealed an error.
Any one please help what should I do to brings by device back to lite

Question Can't replace AOSP recovery (Project elixir recovery) with TWRP

Hello everyone, I'm a newcomer in modding my android devices, and I didn't come here to complain, since there are many things that I still don't know. My problem started when I got bored of the basic recovery and tried to replace it with TWRP. I tried it the basic way through fastboot, (fastboot flash recovery <filename.img>, fastboot boot.img). It said in the CMD that it sent the file to the device and is running the image but my phone either gets stuck at the MI logo or just restarts to project elixir, even when I try to reboot to recovery it gives me the same old AOSP recovery, then I figured out maybe I need to wipe the whole phone but I only know of wiping through recovery, I went to the recovery and there is only a factory reset option no full wipe (Project elixir is the only recovery that doesn't have more than one wipe option as far as I know).
And till now I'm still stuck with this basic recovery (help).

No, there's help. The command must be: fastboot flash boot <name-of-recovery.img> . There's no recovery partition in rn11. And if using magisk it must be reflashed. Cheers
