Hello everyone, I can not flash twrp, I have different errors every time, but I read around that are related to anti roll back protection.
I also tried with "boot twrp.img" but it crashes, I tried "flash antirbpass dummy.img" but it stops at "target did not report max-download-size
sending 'antirbpass' (8 KB) ... "
some solution?

tried flashing stock fastboot rom via miflashtool it says "Flash xbl error"
bootloader is unlocked aswell
what to do now? any help much appreciated..
So, here I was thinking things couldn't hurt to do some customisation.
This evening, I flashed a custom logo... using fastboot. (fastboot flash logo logo.bin)
That was the last thing I saw on my device, it won't show anything anymore.
Any advice on how to get any connection to my device again?
Right... So as before I found the solution myself.
I used the BROM to reflash the logo with the proper image.
For whoever wants to know. I used the MTK bypass utility to bypass the authentication stuff, and the SP Flash tool to flash.
I did have to use libusb-win32 for the python part, took me some hours to figure that one out. All sources told me UsbDK would work for that.
Kind of relieved I actually managed to unbrick my phone.
Did you get solution?
As mentioned in the post right before you; yes.
Hello,
I'm a beginner in the field of flasing custom roms but I would really like to abandon using google on my phone and find your work here really awesome. So yeah, I hope my question doesn't sound stupid but I'm seriously stuck and hope I didn't completely break my phone.
I am using a Redmi Note 8 (2021) and wanted to flash lineageOS. So I unlocked the bootloader via my mi account, booted into fastboot mode (usb-debugging was of course enabled) and tried to flash twrp to recovery using the cmd-window via platform-tools.
This didn't work because when I typed:
./fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
I got the reply:
Sending 'recovery' (65536 KB) OKAY [ 1.743s]
Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: 'This partition doesn't exist')
fastboot: error: Command failed
I therefore started googling and found a threat on xda where someone had solved the problem by replacing 'recovery' with 'boot':
./fastboot flash boot twrp.img
What I got was:
Sending 'boot_a' (65536 KB) OKAY [ 1.818s]
Writing 'boot_a' OKAY [ 0.827s]
Finished. Total time: 2.681s
After that my phone was bricked. I cannot enter recovery mode anymore and even fastboot mode appears a bit different (I don't see the bunny anymore, all I see is the word 'fastboot' in orange letters on a black screen). When I enter fastboot mode, the device is detected by my computer - the only sign that still gives me an inch of hope. When I'm not in fastboot mode my phone keeps vibrating and then turning of, then suddenly it vibrates again and turns on, the logo 'redmi' appears and then it suddenly turns off again - and it just keeps repeating this procedure.
I downloaded the mi flash tool and tried to flash the Xiaomi ROM, but that didn't work either - after about five minutes of waiting I get an error. I tried different versions of MIUI but keep getting errors. When I try to flash the Xiaomi ROM via cmd-window, as suggested here ( https://www.droidwin.com/unbrick-redmi-note-8-fastboot-commands/ ) I get this:
fastboot flash xbl_a xbl.elf
Sending 'xbl_a' (3449 KB) OKAY [ 0.105s]
Writing 'xbl_a' FAILED (remote: 'This partition doesn't exist')
fastboot: error: Command failed
Is there anything left for me to do or should I give up and save money for a new phone?
I would be very, very grateful for help
You could try this: fastboot --set-active=b

Try this

I guess you have used a wrong recovery file, maybe one for another device
The problem is that the command 'flash recovery' does not work, because it says th partition does not exist....

wrong forum ! , see Biloba forum
on some devices, boot+recovery are on the same partition, but not for Biloba
boot partition (+dtbo on some cases) is the kernel
i think you should look for official install of miui rom since it has IMG of most partitions ...

Use this tool:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/flash-tool-guide-use-xiaomi-flash-tool.4262425/
First off: don't go punching in commands you don't understand.
You literally flashed an incompatible image to your boot_a.
You could try and set the active partition to b using: fastboot --set-active=b.
Other option, if you have the firmware image for your boot partition, flash that image to boot_a.
you only need to flash the original boot.img from firmware lol it's so easy
