Hi,
My Mi5s was in a bootloop between recovery mode and Mi logo.
I was able to get to fastboot via cmd, phone is unlocked, and I also flashed TWRP, then Vol + and power to load TWRP.
From there Ive tried installing multiple roms, but each time I reboot system it goes back into TWRP.
I've tried many ways of installing new roms, like wiping all data/factory reset/formatting before flashing supersu + lineage os or cm13 and then gapps, after flashing it says flash was successul...
I've also been able to use xiaomiflash to flash official latest global stable which puts phone back into bootloop.
I also flashed latest chinese dev which loads Mi Recovery 3.0, from there I'm still unable to install the rom, after showing the rom loading, just a few seconds in, the phone reboots.
Quite confused and unsure of what to do now... New to forum, not sure where to post this.

I had the same issue when I first installed some ROMs for this phone and it got me really confused since I was doing everything right. This is what worked for me
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE OFFICIAL TWRP FIRST BEFORE ANYTHING
Go into fastboot and type
fastboot format userdata
Go back to TWRP and go into wipe/advanced wipe.
Select data and then select repair or change partition
Then go into change filesystem and choose either F2FS or ext4. If one gives an error try the other one, after that format to which ever
If you're on AOSP/LOS ROMs I'd recommend F2FS since its a bit faster and makes your storage last way longer

tried official twrp 3.1.1-0, did these steps only, maybe I've missed something:
installed twrp 3.1.1-0 then went into fastboot and typed fastboot format userdata
rebooted into TWRP, i was promted whether to keep system read only, I tried first swiping to allow mods, and also keep read only then proceeded:
changed data to F2FS (didn't wipe or factory reset anything else)
rebooted system
copied lineage and gapps zip files to phone
installed latest lineage then gapps 7.1 arm64
rebooted system, back into twrp
Hello guys,
I was actually using twrp with miui 9.2 for over a month without any problem but then this new update come and i update my device and it recover the original mi recovery.
Thats normal for me. Then i installed twrp via fastboot, rebooted to twrp and without touching anything i rebooted to system then only mi logo showing.
I again reset my phone. Flash fastboot image of mi 9.2 global and update it through ota and again flash twrp then fectory reset but the reault are same.
I also do above steps and do wipe delvik and cache, dont wipe delvik and cache and dont do factory reset, delete the backup recovery from system but after all this the result remain same.
I also download the china version of fastboot rom which is miui 9.5 and replace the recovery.img with twrp (change the name recovery.img) but still no luck.
Soo what i miss? Is there no way to boot miui 9.5 with custom recovery?

Thanks for ur time
Today I wanted to upgrade to OOS 5.1.1. But after flashing and reboot, my 5t went into recovery mode again. Then after that, the phone always reboot into recovery mode.
I tried flash stock recovery, blue spark recovery, tried to flash oos 5.0.4, none works.
What can I do to save my 5T? TIA.
I noticed that I have this error in my twrp codeworkx recovery:
failed to mount /vendor (invalid argument)
This happened to mine as well. I did a full wipe and flashed the stock recovery and then flashed the most recent Stock OOS.
What do you mean by a full wipe?
cache+davlink+system+data? I did.
Internal storage needs to be wiped too?

First thing, the error about /vendor in TWRP can be ignored because you will not have that partition if you have not installed a trebelized ROM (MOKEE treble rom).
Next is your issue:
There are two approaches I can Think of:
Approach 1) - Download official full rom from this thread
- Boot into TWRP and copy this ROM to your phone
- Wipe Clean (standard TWRP clean flash step) keeping internal storage intact
- Install ROM and try to boot.
- Sometimes it will boot back into recovery, you can try to install again.
- If it boots up fine, then follow this guide to install TWRP correctly again.
- If it didnt boot up and you are ok to wipe everything, Boot into TWRP
- Wipe Everything (you will lose all data, photos everything)
- Boot back into twrp
- Now follow install steps again.
Approach 2) if 1 didnt work:
- use this guide to unbrick your device
- You can then ROOT, install recovery etc by following this thread
I have recently experienced this problem, there was little help and finally I have to wipe all data on the phone. It was a pain in the ass and i hope you wont have to go through it !
Did many rounds of flashing of recovery and rom, tried many combinations. It eventually worked.
While I am not 100% sure, i think what makes it work is to use compatible recovery (8.0 or 8.1) with rom, and wipe both cache, system, and data after (?) flashing.
Thanks!

What TWRP were you using? Had basically the same problem with "twrp-3.2.1-x_blu_spark_v8.74_treble-op5_op5t.img", flashed an older version and it worked fine.
Seeing "failed to mount /vendor (invalid argument)" as you mentioned happened to me too. I think it means it's only for treble compatible ROMs.
if you were rooted with magisk, you have to flash the magisk uninstaller before flash the rom.
I had the same problem after flashing XXXnolimits rom (bluespark recovery 8.73). I just power off the phone pressing the power button for a while (10-20 seconds). It worked for me and the rom was succesfully flashed. Hope this help for the future.
i will keep this in mind and will try it next time when we have an update! Thanks.

I have now tried to install the latest RR and Omnirom builds and the problem remains the same.
I've been very particular about wiping data before the installs.
Here is what I have done,
Performed data wipe by typing "yes" when requested. Used advance wipe to wipe everything.
Installed Rom, Stock Gapps and Magisk zip files.
Wiped Cache.
Reboot
The phone will not boot and only returns to recovery.
Can anyone help?
Here is my TWRP log if this helps - https://pastebin.com/ghpXkt3t
Not sure if this is relevant, but every time I try to flash a ROM it always fails on the first attempts and needs a second try to succeed.

If you only get to the mi logo and not the ROM boot screen then format data "yes 3-4 times in a row.
If that doesn't work then wipe the system and data and retry
I was only getting the Mi logo, so I did the format data 4 times in a row and rebooted.
I then saw the Omnirom logo for the first time!
unfortunately 2 seconds later I'm back in TWRP.
I have now tried for the 5th time to perform a fresh install.
Formatting data multiple times, wiping system and data multiple times.
The result is the same.
I see a flicker of the Omnirom logo and I get booted back into recovery.

Please try this:
1. Wipe: Dalvik / Art Cache; System; Data; Cache;
2. Go back to main TWRP screen and install the rom, install Google Apps, install "addonsu-15.1-arm64-signed.zip" (in case of Lineage) or the latest Magisk (in case of other rom)
3. Wipe Cache
4. Reboot
If this doesn't work and the device restarts in twrp, then pls download the twrp flashable Xiaomi rom from here: http://en.miui.com/download-334.html
1. Wipe: Dalvik / Art Cache; System; Data; Cache
2. Go back to main twrp screen and install the Xiaomi rom. Do not reboot.
3. Go back to main twrp screen and Wipe: Dalvik / Art Cache; System; Data; Cache
4. Go back to main twrp screen and install the rom (Lineage or OMNI or RR), install Google Apps, install "addonsu-15.1-arm64-signed.zip" (in case of Lineage) or the latest Magisk (in case of other rom)
5. Wipe Cache
6. Reboot
I had the same problem and this method worked for me, maybe it will work for you too. :fingers-crossed:
If it doesn't then maybe you have to start from zero and flash the original Xiaomi rom in fastboot mode (rom here: http://en.miui.com/a-234.html) via MIUI ROM Flashing Tool, unlock bootloader (bootloader might relock), flash twrp and then flash new custom rom.
No idea what happened but I have the same issue atm.
I was running a recent Omnirom for a few weeks. System got unstable, so decided to flash the newest version. Got me stuck in a bootloop. I tried everything, short of relocking and unlocking the bootloader.
- Full wipe, including storage
- Reflash Global Dev through TWRP.
- Flash stock Global Dev over flashboot
- Flash Omni, wipe, flash omni again.
All the same. Global Dev runs, all AOSP roms just go into bootloop. No idea what went wrong, I've flashed tens of custom roms over the past months without issues.

Then maybe the right solution to get out of bootloops would be to start from zero and flash the original Xiaomi rom in fastboot mode (rom here: http://en.miui.com/a-234.html) via MIUI ROM Flashing Tool, unlock bootloader (as bootloader will relock), flash twrp, do a full wipe and then flash new custom rom.

I have reflashed the original Xiaomi ROM (running it atm ) using the official Xiaomi Flash Tool.
I just did not relock my bootloader doing that (there's an option to leave it unlocked). Will relocking and then unlocking the bootloader really make a difference?

Not really. You ev. save yourself a waiting time of 72h....
Not sure what happened. I set up MIUI completely. Then, getting frustrated after using it for 10 minutes, decided to try one more time. Same thing.
1) Fastboot flash TWRP.
2) Wipe
3) Flash Rom
4) Flash GAPPS
Worked this time. No idea what went wrong the first 4 times. Only difference is that I went through the trouble to set up the entire phone this last time before trying again.
Anyhoo, so if anyone has the same issue. Set up phone in MIUI, only then wipe/flash
I got mine working by not installing Magisk. I just flashed Omnirom and GApps and it worked.
After setting up my phone I have since rebooted into recovery and installed Magisk and it works.
Can't system boot after install TWRP, Lazy Magisk on MIX M2S
Hello,
I have this problem, the phone does not boot after TWRP, Lazyflasher and Magisk being installed all fine.
I have re-installed the official ROM on my Xiaomi MI MIX 2S, then TWRP is fine too, then Lazy and Magisk fine.
When I reboot, it is stocked on MI logo whatever I do.
I have tried most of the advise posted but still stocked.
I restarted from scratch, installing again the official ROM, then fastboot flash recovery twrp, then lazy and Magisk, but still stocked on MI.
Thanks a lot in advance
Did you wipe system by any chance.. If you did you need to flash miui again with fastboot.. Or boot into fastboot and type this command 'fastboot format userdata' and press enter. You are facing this issue because of encryption

Gratitude for your reply. What do you mean by "wipe system". I installed the rom and then TWRP etc...
I flashed the ROM again and went into bootloader
I typed "fastboot format userdata" and the system replied:
"/usr/local/bin/mke2fs failed with status 1
mke2fs failed: 1
error: Cannot generate image for userdata
Can you advise.
Thanks a LOT
Did you use the correct rom ? Mi mix 2 or mi mix 2s?

My mobile is:
MI MIX 2S, Android 9PKQ1
MIUI Global 10.0
Thanks a lot for your advise as always stock, despite different attempts
Did you try to flash using mi tools?

NO, I followed the usual process with ADB tools.
However, I have no boot "stuck at MI logo (bootloop)" problem when I flash the ROM.
It happens only when use TWRP and flash Magisk and Lazy.
Then, when I restart it got stuck at MI Logo.
Do you suggest I try to flash with MI logo (I don't have a PC though).
If so, should I just flash the ROM and then, what about TWRP, should I use MI flash or ADB?
I just want to make sure that the problem is with the ROM instal?
Thanks a LOT

Flash twrp via fastboot.
Boot to twrp via
Fastboot boot twrp.img
Replace "twrp" with the file name of your twrp.
Once twrp booted, go into reboot menu. And reboot to recovery again. That will make your phone boot again into twrp, but this time with more rights.
Go into wipe. Advanced wipe
Change data partition file system to ext4.
Reboot again into twrp via the reboot menu ,just like before.
Now go into wipe again, and format system,data,dalvik and cache.
Flash your rom.
Flash gapps (if not otherwise stated by ROM thread)
Flash Magisk (optional, if you want root)
Wipe dalvik and cache.
Reboot. And enjoy

We only have one bootloader.
We have different firmwares though like nougat and marshmallow.
You will need Firmwares S244 for nougat ROMs.
That firmware must be flashed through ota. Stockrom-feature. Simply using twrp does not count as doing otas.
Basic starter things: Have Firmware S244 or S251 installed through stock ota feature.
Then use my earlier stated instructions.
Thx alot it worked & no problems
