Bricked my Mi6

So I just got Mi6 in my hands today, and tried to install Xiaomi EU v8.5.2.0 ROM.
Now, it won't boot. Stuck in Mi logo.
I have flashed TWRP
I have wiped Dalvik Cache, Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage (and probably that messed it up)
Then, installed the ROM via sideload. Rebooted phone, and it's stuck in boot logo
Some friends said something about "boot.img" and SuperSU. What should I do now?
Thank you!

I think your best bet now to use miflash tool and flash fastboot rom.
Though if you can flash twrp, you should be able to flash custom rom using that. Follow the steps 1 by 1. Sometimes certain rom needs u to flash firmware first.

Well, I have fixed it by repairing system partition. But now, no EU ROM will boot. MIUI Global Stable v8.2 boots, but Wi-Fi and fingerprint is broken.

So he restarted? Test can be ROM dev to see
But bizarre that on stable ROM this does not work

Yeah, I would suggest flash stable fastboot rom via miflash and start again. If fingerprint/wifi still broken after flash fastboot rom via miflash, there is high chance the hardware is broken.
If it does back to stock and everything works, follow flash procedure for custom rom step by step. There is no real reason it will not work. Good luck

MiFlash gives me "cast id invalid" error, I've been using TWRP and fastboot to flash. I flashed it few times, but it didn't work. So I wiped all the data, flashed again and it works now.
Any ideas why won't EU ROMs boot?
Thanks!

I am using xiaomi.eu ROM myself flashed via twrp 3.1.1.0 Seems working fine. I just boot the twrp via fastboot boot, using twrp mtp to transfer EU rom inside, and flashed.
Done. Everything works. I am currently under miui 8.2 atm. Seems good so far.

Just upgraded the ROM to 10.3.2.0 and now TWRP recovery always reverted to stock recovery after reboot.

reflash your twrp via adb and when u type "fastboot reboot" press and hold Volume Up until enter twrp, and then try to reboot recovery via twrp. i can't share youtube link, afk right now

Done this several times, but I didn't use hard buttons, instead i used fastboot boot recovery.img command to reboot to recovery after flashing recovery. I also tried rebooting to recovery from twrp without problem, but after rebooted to system, twrp reverted to stock recovery, everytime.
I didn't have this problem with MIUI 10.3.1.0 with the same TWRP.
edit : I'm using TWRP 0330 btw, and somehow there was no swipe to allow modification confirmation when the phone rebooted to twrp for the 1st time after flashing twrp.
Wonder why.

Tks, but I don't have problem with TWRP 0330, it works fine, including touch screen, the problem is TWRP get replaced by Stock Recovery everytime I boot my my phone to system.
I don't want to root my phone, just like to have TWRP recovery around so I can use it to flash hosts file for ads blocking and some other things.
Someone told me i need to flash lazyflasher...I'm going to do it later ..

No. don´t try to boot to recovery from fastboot after to flash it, don´t flash it through fastboot.
Do the next three steps and see what happens but do it exactly the same or won´t worth the try:
- In fastboot delete recovery partition by typing fastboot erase recovery
- Then reboot to recovery (don´t flash it yet) by typing fastboot boot twrp.img (rename recovery image firstly to twrp)
- Now once in TWRP flash the zip or image to the recovery partition, when you finish go to Reboot options within TWRP and choose recovery to boot to it before to boot up to system. If you boot at this instance to TWRP then the issue have to be solved, reboot normally to system.
Edit: If this way the problem is not solved then after to install TWRP flash Magisk that can prevent it to be overwritten.

No chance to root this device..

Hi
My Max3 is in Global 10.3.2 stable and I like to root it. I installed TWRP mod recovery 3.2.3-4 from nijel8 and this works perfect. When I will install SuperSU-v2.82 or Magisk-v19 I have 'failed to decrypt data unable to decrypt with default password. You may need to perform a format data.
But when I format data the Max3 don't start anymore in System mode....
Does anyone have a soloution for this?
Many thanks in advance!!

Re-install the global rom via fastboot. Then, let's start, enable the developer option, USB debugging and installation via USB (there is another option related to USB, but I do not remember ... anyway, enable as well). Then, install TWRP again and format the data via adb (fastboot format userdata). Then enter TWRP and if it is still encrypted, format again by TWRP and restart twrp. After rebooting, you install magisk and restart the system. For me it worked, but I no longer use the global rom because it encrypts the data again.

On the Xiaomi.eu ROM Magisk worked as expected for me.

My friends hi. I flashing phones for years and many xiaomis but this phone have the antiroll protection. I want to flash the revos miui rom or the aicp but the second can't find.. anyway I'm afraid to do it.The ROM devs sad to me that they disable the antiroll back but I'm still afraid what you think?

If you have the decrypting error you can just sideload the SuperSU magisk zip. Just go to the sideload option in twrp then sideload the zip from adb on your PC. Worked just fine for me. I have root, xposed, and magisk running just fine.
There is no need to wipe and back up data. Ez pz.

Hi! Same problem here! Had to switch to MM3 6/128 because I broke Zenfone 3 Ultra crying and had a hard time rooting it! Only way: Magisk via Sideload
Flash dozen of times with standard twrp way and SuperSu zip: no way! 10.3.2 is pretty ****ing hard to "rape"

hello
use this method to decrypt your phone ( from the chapter "Format Data Partition and Disable Encryption (Android Pie only)" ) on this link :

it works perfectly on my mi max 3

Question Query regarding update Miui EU 12.5.3.0

Hi,
I have Mi 11X India handset and have unlocked bootloader and installed Miui Eu 12.5.2.0 ROM a few days back. Today while checking the inbuilt updater app, a new update Miui 12.5.3.0 EU ROM. Can I update using the inbuilt updater?? Or should I download the file and install the update via fastboot method only??
Also Can I install TWRP Alpha released few days back?? I mean I am on Miui 12.5.2.0 EU ROM which I installed via fastboot method. Can I install TWRP now??
If yes, then should I have to use TWRP to update to the new update?? Or can I do via fastboot method??

You have to use TWRP to install the new version. In TWRP, select the EU ROm.zip file from the install menu and complete the installation.
Fastboot method is no longer supported.

Yes thats right
If you are going to install it on the previous EU rom;
1-Copy the EU rom .zip file to internal memory.
2-Install TWRP
3-Open TWRP
4-Select the .zip file in memory from the Install section and complete the installation.
If you want, you can just start TWRP and use it. ADB Command : fastboot boot twrp.img
Please see the attached picture for permanent setup after opening TWRP.
If you want to factory reset it after installation, you can Wipe Data.(After installing Eu rom, do Wipe data.)

Sorry bad english

I have installed the new Miui EU 12.5.3.0 update without installing the TWRP. All I did was download the TWRP file and place it in adb tools folder. Also downloaded the 12.5.3.0 zip file and placed in in device internal memory. Opened command prompt. Entered "fastboot boot twrp.img" and TWRP launched in Device. Then went to Install in TWRP, selected the ROM Zip file from internal memory and installed the ROM. All working fine and I have also TWRP now on my device.

This is asking the experts here. Can some expert who has been playing with TWRP and Custom ROMs provide some feedback.
I have a Mi 11x Indian Variant. It came with Miui Global Stable. I unlocked bootloader and installed the fastboot EU ROM 12.5.2.0 via fastboot method. Three days later EU ROM 12.5.3.0 ROM was released which is not a fastboot ROM but Recovery ROM. Hence it could have been installed only with TWRP Recovery. Instead of installing TWRP I just booted TWRP on my handset with command fastboot boot twrp.img and then selected Install on the screen and selected the downloaded EU ROM 12.5.3.0 from Device internal memory which I copied earlier after downloading it on my laptop. Proceeded with Install and update 12.5.3.0 was installed and the Device booted into system with 12.5.3.0 update applied. Also since this update also included TWRP, TWRP also got installed. I can boot into TWRP recovery from my handset.
Now what I want to understand is, that have I done everything correctly?? Did I had to do anything extra?? Like some wipe data or format data or something?? I simply wanted to update from 12.5.2.0 which was a fastboot ROM to 12.5.3.0 which was a recovery ROM. And I have done exactly the same as explained above. Haven't faced any errors or issues. Just want to understand if everything I did was correct. Or should I have done something extra? I mean I dont want to face any issued or errors in future and loose my data.
Please throw some light.

There is no need to extend the subject that much. You did everything right.
Nobody can guarantee that there will be no software problems in the future.
If you have a problem in the future, you back up your data and wipe data / cache OK.

Question Help: Can't flash twrp recovery from PC to my Phone (F3)

I successfully unlocked my bootloader, then I tried flashing the twrp by following munchy's tutorial from YouTube (as someone recommended here). I also used the twrp recovery file he provided in the description, by using the latest platform tools from the official website. It was going pretty good. I even got the TeamWin logo, and also loaded up the twrp interface, and was able to navigate through it. But the problem was my internal storage wasn't showing up. So I booted back to my system normally to see If I can find a solution. Then I think I tried again after restarting to see if it fixes itself, but the same problem was persisting. The next time when I tried again, I used the latest twrp version which I downloaded from the official twrp website.
But since my 3rd attempt, I am not able to see any TeamWin recovery come up on my phone, when I connect I do the "fastboot boot (twrp filename)" command in cmd. When I do the command, nothing shows up. The device remains in the Fastboot mode, or just turns off. When I switch it back on, It turns on normally and boots into the phone without any issues, and I can use it. I've tried switching back to the original twrp version munchy used in the above linked video, but same result.
What did I do wrong here? How do I make my phone get into the twrp recovery when I enter the fastboot boot (twrp filename) command thru my PC? How do I make my Internal Storage available to view int he TWRP recovery so I can install it from my Downloads folder? I am on MIUI 14.0.4 If that helps. My end goal is to install Magisk.
Any tips/guides/suggestions are appreciated.

Installing TWRP and root does not erase your data.
Remove security from the lock screen. (decryption).Normally the latest TWRP decrypts the data.
Install Platform tools ,put the TWRP in the folder and run the commands from the folder.
TWRP SKK, Use A12 if your system is in A12/A13 if system A13.
Rename it to twrp.img
CMD
fastboot boot twrp.img
Powershell
./fastboot boot twrp.img
Once booted, go to Advanced -> Press "Flash current TWRP"
If offered, both slots.

Thank you. I had put backed the screen lock after the first 2 attempts because someone said to to that on a YT video after they faced the same problem. Now I tried again by removing the screen lock and the latest twrp for my device also boots up just fine. Now the problem Is I still can't access my internal storage .

Still having removed the screen security?
Which rom(fullname)?
Which TWRP?
Try to mount storage.

Yes, I removed the screen security, though I can enter TWRP, I can't read the internal storage. MIUI 14.0.4.
I just watched a YT video where the dude does the following:
-TWRP Recovery
- Wipe
- Format Data
- Types 'yes'
then
-TWRP Recovery
- Reboot
- Recovery
- Do not Install
After coming back to recovery after rebooting, he gets a pop up, which at the swipe says "Swipe to allow for modifications" which he swipes, then now after checking the Internal Storage, It's readable now. Is this a possible solution?

Twrp A13, obviously if you don't want to keep the data.
Twrp/wipe format data type yes/reboot TWRP.
If error red lines, reboot TWRP and repeat the operation.
Sideload roms or use OTG.

what's twrp A13? Also, I just unlocked my bootloader a few hours ago, so my phone has already done a factory reset and i don't have anything to lose except the Magisk APK and .img file in my phone.
But I have a question, will doing the format data just do a factory reset, or will I lose my ROM? Because I'm not trying to install a custom ROM, I just want to Install Magisk as the end goal with my current ROM.

MIUI 14 Android 13 so use this TWRP
plugged the phone into the PC when it is on the TWRP, you will have access to the internal storage. (works on my 12 pro aves twrp A13 Skk).
twrp-3.7.0_12-v7.5_A13-alioth-skkk.img

I'm using the latest one I could find on the TWRP website for my device. Not aware If it supports Android 13 though as it isn't mentioned on the website. Just asking my prev question, will doing the format data from TWRP just do a factory reset, or do I lose the ROM and will have to install a custom ROM?
second question I forgot to ask in my prev post, after i do the format data and put the Magisk APK and twrp img file again on my device, will my device stay decrypted as I formatted the data, or will the problem persist?
sorry If i sound dumb

twrp-3.7.0_12-v7.5_A13-alioth-skkk.img

thank you, this is the one I was looking for. Sorry to bother you again, now I installed the Magisk V26.1 apk from TWRP. And when I boot back to system and try opening the magisk manager, this happens. It says downloading, forever. I think I shouldn't have directly downloaded the latest version. So probably have to downgrade it a bit. For that, what will I have to do?
Can I just hold the Magisk icon, and uninstall it simply like any other app? Or do I have to do it from the TWRP? Also, Is it necessary for me to uninstall it before downgrading, or can I just download the apk of older magisk version and flash it from twrp just like I did previously?

It was on my first post.

Hi all. Hope you are good and safe from Covid-19. If you like TWRP as your recovery and want to keep root access as well, I am going to show you how to do that. Because if you take the stock boot.img and patch it via magisk, you will lose TWRP...

I don't doubt it, the Twrp A12 also works for certain operations on an A13 system but for certain Miui roms some bootloop.

Hm ok.
Welp for me on AOSP, it works nicely. I flash a new build (or two) every week. Backup/Restore works as should. UI is nice and modern, imo better than TWRP. That's why I'm recommending it.
Haven't heard anyone saying that they can't view Phone storage on OrangeFox.

Hi,
@NOSS8 , I'd like to ask : I've only some hours to wait to unlock the BL. But one question, as it's yet the stock rom (FW V13.0.11.0, A12), wich twrp should I use ? I want to install a A13 rom (that supposes FW V 14.xxx !)
So :
- fastboot boot twrp (but wich one ?? A12 or 13 ?? ; skkk ? Or ?) (+ "flash current twrp" OR "install it in ramdisk"?)
- reboot recovery
- flash FW V14.xxx
- flash rom
- format data
- reboot system
- flash magisk (last version ? Seems to be 'big' changes ?)
- flash what I need (V4A, DFE (??), ....)
What do you think ?
Thanks a lot ! Main question is about what version of twrp.. Help will be very appreciated !

Instead, use Miflash with a Fastboot rom, you can extract the boot img for root.(don't re lock the bootloader).
You can root without TWRP, but according to this thread, if you root you lose the TWRP and vice versa, I don't know if this is still relevant.(I don't have this device).
If you need ,install the TWRP A13 after flashing the A13.

Advantage with Miflash, the Fastboot roms contain all the imgs.

TWRP + Root
Hi all. Hope you are good and safe from Covid-19. If you like TWRP as your recovery and want to keep root access as well, I am going to show you how to do that. Because if you take the stock boot.img and patch it via magisk, you will lose TWRP...

I'm very greatfull for your quick reply ! Thanks
The device is too a Poco f3, sorry.. This doesn't need to flash magisk for twrp to stick (I had another one I've broken)
But I don't understand what's the advantage to first flash a fastboot rom..? As you say to flash twrp would loose root and vice versa... (I've read the thread you're talking about ofox)
So I wanted to go trough +- the way I mentionned, as A13 as well as ofox 'seems' to work (but I'm carefull with that twrp on stock MIUI A12, and I never used ofox..)
So you do think it's a bad idea ?? The rom I want to flash is crdroid.
I'm more lost now ...
Thanks again !
