[SOLVED] MI MIX Bootloop

Hey guys. i got my phone a week ago, was happily using it until i noticed the Vendor Rom 8.0.8.0 M0AHCNDI2 days ago. Decided to flash the Official Stable ROM with chinese MI PC Suite. Checked forums and finally after downloading the Official Stable Chinese ROM managed to flash my phone with it. Except for some problems i encountered while using Google apps it was running fine. After few hours i decided to try the Ofiicial Chinese Dev Rom aswell. But after flashing via Chinese MI PC Suite my phone got stuck on bootloop. Now i can't flash the stable rom back and my phone is stuck. Help Please, Thanks in advance

Instead of using PC Suite, boot your phone into fastboot mode and flash the ROM using MiFlash. Don't use Mi PC Suite. Follow instructions on one of the guides in the forum and you should be fine.

Chances are it's already unlocked, with vendor rom (let's hope so). Check through fastboot with command prompt
fastboot oem device-info
Don't use PC suite until they fix it's problems.

My phone doesn't even charge now and doesn't show the mi logo any longer. The only thing happens when i connect the charger is that the led blinks red continuously. Is it hardbricked? What can i do now? Sorry to trouble you
Edited. Now I get the mi logo back after an hour of changing.

As you're not sure whether your phone is charging, I would suggest keeping it connected to the charger for a few hours. This way, it may eventually get charged atleast to a safe level at some point.
After this, if you dont already have ADB and Fastboot installed, install it from the guide in the forums. Make sure to uninstall PC Suite first.
Once ADB is installed, open up the shell, boot device into fastboot mode and connect to PC. In the command shell,
Type fastboot oem device-info
It should show you the device bootloader lock status. Though most phones which come with Vendor ROMs have unlocked bootloaders, this is not always the case as my phone came with a vendor ROM while bootloader was locked. I suspect this is because vendors may have a signed Custom ROM file which can be flashed using the stock recovery, meaning bootloader unlocking is not a necessity for them to load the custom firmware.
Once you check whether bootloader is unlocked, if it isnt, unlock the bootloader using the guide.
Then install MiFlash and flash the fastboot ROM

if it is locked (afaik, mi suite can lock bootloaders, but there is no compatible mi pc suite for the mix available, so it shouldn't) then you need a deep flash cable to force flash anything in miflash tool. buy one for a few dollar on aliexpress.
xiaomi deep flash cable. with the button.
xiaomi deep flash cable. with button and usb-C adapter

I was wondering how the OP flashed using Mi PC Suite considering the Mix isnt supported. Maybe he is referring to Mi Flash as PC Suite.
If thats the case he may have messed something during the flashing process. Isn't there a way to enter EDL mode without the deep flash cable? I think it was done via a fastboot command.

First of all THANK YOU ALL for helping out. I just downloaded the Chinese MI Pc Suite. It said my phone has an update (it was in chinese so i had to look it up via google translate) then i clicked download and update. it downloaded the 8.0.12.0 Chinese Stable rom and flashed my phone with it. It was working fine but i tried to flash the Dev Rom the same way and it's stuck now. I didn't even know the Mi Flash tool until i opened this thread. Now i have the Mi Flash tool but my phone doesn't show up on it. I don't know how to use ADB and Fast Flash tools. Tried the forum but there are so many guides and i'm not sure which one would suit my problem. Now all i want is getting my phone working again and switching to EU ROM and not touching anything risky ever again.

You can follow this guide compiled by @underlines : Guide: (17-01-09) Flash Global/China ROM, Root, gapps, Xposed, TWRP
This guide has step by step instructions on how to install ADB and fastboot, unlock bootloader and Flash a ROM of your choice. Providing you follow the guide carefully, you wouldn't face any issues.
I have also posted a guide which is only intended to be an add-on to the guide posted by underlines. This means you should already have the recommended files downloaded and bootloader unlocked. using the guide above.
My guide uses a different version of MiFlash as certain Vendor ROMs are not compatible with the newer version. If you are unable to flash using the original guide above, you can also try following my guide. Guide to switch from Vendor ROM to EU ROM
But I would strongly recommend going through the guide posted by @underlines as you are new to flashing.

Yes! You wont have a problem unlocking bootloader. Boot the phone into fastboot mode and check unlock status first. Instructions are clearly given in the guides and everything should go well providing you carefully follow the guide.

Ok i will now Wait for my bootloader unlock message. Thank you

You fixed it once then broke it again make sure its charged properly before your next F-up, like everyone keeps telling no use pc-suite, it's fixable and a free lesson on android mobile. How would you even attempt changing roms without mi-flash and adb. I'm betting its already unlocked did you check?

Finally got my unlock message and got my phone unlocked. thanks for all the help. But i'm a bit confused following the guide since i'm a noob and don't want to take risks again. First of all do i need to flash the Chinese ROM again before flashing EU rom? Secondly on step 4 of flalshing EU rom it says this:
"type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery C:\path\to\your\twrp-3.0.2-0-rc2-eu-lithium.img
change the colored path to the correct path to your twrp file (not the EU one) and press enter"
what does "(not the EU one)" means?

You can use the TWRP RC2. This version has been confirmed by many to work with both the Official stable and dev ROMS.
Some have experienced issues with touch functionality within TWRP using RC1.
RC2 is the way to go. If you have already flashed one of the official roms, if you'd like to flash the EU ROM, you can follow my guide. Providing you follow all steps correctly, you should be on EU ROM.
Cheers!

Flashing official ROM is not necessary if TWRP is working fine. Flash TWRP RC2 using fastboot, if touch is working for you, you can proceed copying the required files.
Follow my guide on this link.
If TWRP is working fine for you, you can follow from Step 6. If touch is frozen in TWRP, follow my guide from Step 1.
If TWRP works for you, when it prompts you to swipe right, make sure you flash the dm-verity and forced encryption disabler from the link I have provided, soon after you have swiped right to allow system modifications. If not you may face a bootloop.
Keep the guide open and follow the steps.

Accidentally put my US model Huawei Mate 10 Pro into a bootloop - Could use some help

Hello,
If anyone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated. I have a US model BLA-A09 Mate 10 Pro.
I am definitely somewhat new to this. My Mate 10 is now in a boot loop. It gets to the EMUI recovery, but when attempting to download the recovery package from my wifi it fails and goes no further stating something like "cannot get package info".
I successfully unlocked my phone's bootloader, and succesfully rooted it, and I even got the latest TWRP installed on the phone. What I was trying to do however, was follow this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/ho...agisk-root-honor-view-10-mate-10-pro-t3749280.
I was trying to use that thread to get magisk installed but in doing so I went into TWRP and flashed a file called "BKL-L09_ramdisk.img" when my phone is actually BLK-A09.
Now, I have no access to TWRP as far as I can tell, and the EMUI recovery fails as mentioned before. I can only get into fastboot now and I dont know what to do to get the phone working again. Do I need to flash the stock image of my phone or is it possible I messed it up more than that?
Edit: also here is everything I could get from fastboot about the device.

I agree, this saved my device yesterday. I would download the already extracted zip at the bottom of that post (in OP). Flash the SYSTEM.img using fastboot. Then try rebooting. If it still boot loops I suggest you also flash the KERNEL and the RECOVERY_RAMDISK

When I tried to flash the system.img in fastboot it wouldn't work I can flash other things but it says unknown partition

How can I get my xiaomi mi a2 back to normal?

I rooted my phone but didn't really like it while having my banking apps on it. So I tried to get back to normal but ended up wiping everything, even the OS, off of my phone. I am trying to get it back to normal. I followed one guide on here which gave me an android 10 ROM but I was unable to update it to the latest version. The link for that guide is: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/guide-official-stock-android-10-t4033835. I didn't install the force encrypt or the magisk because I don't wanna root it. I just want it back to how it was before the root. So I am wondering if there is a way that I can get back to normal now. Thanks in advance for any advice.

well what is the problem ? if it booted and you didn't flash magisk you are on stock. ...what exactly do you want ? to lock the bootloader or remove twrp custom recovery too ?

The ROM was an earlier version of android 10. But I am unable to install the latest updates for android 10 OTA. It's working but I would like to be able to receive updates again. If there is another ROM that would give me those results I would be fine with flashing that too.

the most likely issue is your recovery ... take the stock recovery from a fastboot stock rom and flash that with fastboot
also make sure to flash stock rom in both slot A & B then updates will work
go to this website
https://www.getdroidtips.com/xiaomi-mi-a2-stock-firmware/
download a PIE stock rom that is a FASTBOOT version ... download miflash ...follow instructions to flash it using miflash in fastboot mode
then boot & set it up ...it will start offering updates by itself
your problem right now is that you flashed stock rom in only one slot and you have a custom recovery so that is why it can't update

Bootloop with no recovery or fastboot options

Not sure what I did but I am now stuck in a bootloop where it reboots every 10 seconds or so but I can't get into recovery or get to fastboot no matter how I press and hold the Power and up or down volume buttons? Is there any way out of this? I left the phone overnight and the battery wasted but as soon as I plugged it into the USB on my laptop again it went back to the bootloop.
So, just wondering is there a special sequence of buttons to press on the device, that I don't know of, when this happens?
Thanks

Did you flash anything?

Yes, I had switched from MIUI to PixelExperience (and I had unlocked the bootloader etc to do this) but I believe I did something wrong in the process and both my IMEI (which were still reported correctly) were not working - I thought this might be some firmware issue so I had flashed an update firmware but that did not help. So I went and flashed the Engineering ROM to see would that help resetting the device.
But that didn't help and I had lost TWRP so I refreshed TWRP and at that point it went into the bootloop. What I don't understand is why I can't get back to fastboot - I can understand maybe something went wrong with the version of TWRP I flashed (though I am pretty sure it was the same one I flashed originally when playing around with the PixelExperience ROM.
Anyway, just wondering if there was some other mechanism to trigger either the fast boot or some recovery as its like the boot loader fail to find anything appropriate to boot up from.

Because you compromissed the boot process.
When your device try to boot, it make some checks first.
You need to flash the stock MIUI rom again.

If you have have adb drivers installed in your pc, try connecting your phone and open power shell. Then try this command.
Code:
adb devices
If it shows the device, then simply command
Code:
adb reboot fastboot
and flash the fastboot rom.
If not works, then follow VD171.
Also you should read threads carefully before flashing anything. Like there a tread about pixelplus UI. And they recommend to force reboot when you see the boot logo. To avoid boot loop.
Good luck

Don't flash pixel experience. It's unofficial and it's and old version. I recommend you to flash pixel extended after solving and flashing latest fastboot rom. It's official and provide update every month. This rom is also a pure aosp based Stock rom.
Always read new treads before deciding

What I don't understand is why I can't get back to fastboot - I can understand maybe something went wrong with the version of TWRP I flashed (though I am pretty sure it was the same one I flashed originally when playing around with the PixelExperience ROM.
Anyway, just wondering if there was some other mechanism to trigger either the fast boot or some recovery as its like the boot loader fail to find anything appropriate to boot up from.

Also, before doing any customization, you have to flash the Indonesian fastboot rom. Because almost every development is based on Indonesian rom.

Question Need help, TWRP shows no rom

Hi everyone, I really need some help. Took my phone to I.T shop to have it unlocked and EU rom stable put on. I got my phone back with TWRP on it saying no rom. I know nothing about this kind of thing and now I am stuck. Is there someone who can fix this remotely for me?? Thanks in advance

In twrp Click install and Check in the download folder in case it's not in the root folder, if there is no ROM there you could fix it yourself by flashing the last fastboot ROM from a bat file or cmd line
i think it was 12.5.5 or something like that and then you can update to EU 12.5.12 stable via twrp
AND NEVER USE THAT SHOP AGAIN LOL

Thanks for your reply. Could this be done remotely. I really have no idea how to do any of this stuff which is why i first went to a shop. Im happy to pay for a good outcome

Anyone who flashes ROMs could do it in a few minutes via team viewer or something.... But it maybe beneficial to learn for yourself
It's really simple, you've already done the hardest part if you've unlocked the bootloader and installed twrp
Just put the phone in fastboot mode and then plug into PC and click on the bat file

Download: MIUI 12 stable update rolling out to several Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO devices
MIUI 12 stable builds have begun rolling out to several Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO devices. Head on over for Recovery ROM and Fastboot ROM download links!
www.xda-developers.com
Select your phone and download the MIUI stock ROM. (Do NOT extract it.)
Boot into Twrp and wipe and factory reset.
Move the miui stock rom to the phone.
Select flash and select the zip file.
Swipe to flash
Then download and flash(move to phone, flash) the 'ARM64 Android 11' Gapps(Google apps) https://opengapps.org/
Then reboot.
All data will be lost. If you want to keep your photos and videos, before doing everything, go to twrp , connect the phone to a pc, and move the 'Dcim' folder to the computer side.

If you have a working TWRP, just use it to flash latest EU version, format data, reboot system. Done.
Then if you want to go back to a stock ROM, flash it via fastboot or twrp depending on the ROM format you download.

If he's stuck in twrp how can he download a ROM to flash? I don't think you can transfer files to a phone that doesn't have a ROM to flash via twrp
Fastboot first from a PC cmd maybe the only way to get started

He is asking someone else to do the process he doesn't know anything about these things (and I don't understand why buying a phone to make things like this if not capable). Anyway go on YouTube and check people doing the process, I don't think is difficult watching a guy and copy what he is doing

I am replying to close this thread. He contacted me over telegram. I took a look at his phone and the phone is not being detected in fastboot mode on his pc. Maybe hard bricked or in edl mode. Also his twrp is not accessible. So i suggested him to contact the edl guy and he fixed the phone.

So ask mods to close this thread?

I know it's closed as such but in twrp, I can copy files from pc to phone. He could have done the same. BTW, I'm using the very first twrp that many wouldn't install but my phone is recognised in Windows while in recovery. This might help someone else
