[Q] HELP! Bricked my P600!!

Guys
really need some help here. Stupidly i decided i wanted to try my hand at installing clean rom,.
Firstly -
1. i rooted the device, and then used titanium backup to freeze some knox apps.
2. I didnt bother to put the stock recovery back on as i wanted to install clean ROM.
3. I followed the instructions i found on here to a tee - as below. They all worked perfectly.
4. I went through the install screens on CLEAN ROM - that all worked fine.
5. It ended with a screen back to TWRP and i hit reboot.
6. Not the device just gets stuck at the glowing samsung logo.
7. I can get back into TWRP but i have no idea what to do next. I have tried rebooting from TWRP, both system and power, but no luck. The device powers down, and comes back up but remains stuck on the glowing samsung logo.
What can i do?
these were the instructions i followed. Any help much appreciated, and i will chuck a couple of quid towards someone that can help.

Download latest CleanRom and copy it to your SD-Card
4. ODIN
- Run Odin as administrator
- untick -Auto Reboot-
- Click -PDA- (in latest version it's -AP-) and choose your TWRP version
- Now turn off your device and restart it by holding down Power+Volume Down. Proceed with Volume Up to enter DownloadMode
- now connect your device to your PC using USB
- Device drivers should get installed if not already done
- check the Message box in Odin. There should be an "Added!!"
- There should be nothing checked but F. Reset Time
- Press -Start-
- when finished there should be a "RES OK !!" in the Message box
- TRWP is now flashed to your device
4.1.
Now restart your device manually by holding down Power+Volume Up. As soon as you see the Samsung Logo, wait a second and release the Powerbutton but keep holding Volume Up until TWRP is loaded.
5. TWRP
In TRWP
- click Wipe
- advanced wipe and check:
Dalvik, Cache, Data, Internal Storage (should be enough), System
- do NOT tick external SD. You don't want to get it wiped.
- Swipe to Wipe
Now back to Mainmenu
- click Install
- choose your desired ROM
- Swipe to Confirm Flash
- Follow Rom's Installshield and you should be good
Have fun and good luck

If you can get back to TWRP, then wipe data , cache & dalvik, then re-flash clean rom again.
If problem still persists then flash a stock rom via odin.

still no joy
I can wipe cache, system, data, but when i try to include dalvik cache i get a "Failed". the message in the screen says E: unable to mount '/cache

You shouldn`t wipe system . data , cache & dalvik was the requested options.
Now since you wiped system, your only choice is to download a stock firmware from sammobile, enter download mode power+volume down , then volume up, & flash via odin .

Hi thanks all – i think the problem was the boot loop issue. I wiped cache, dalvik cache, system, and data, one by one, and then reinstalled clean rom and it seemed to push it through. Thanks for the support though!

Almost, if it powers on and you're even getting in to recovery, bricked is not the proper term.
Bricked = no power, dead beyond repair.
All you had was a software issue.

and if twrp does not find sd card ?
then what ?..

After flashing the sybria 9.0 rom into my mix 2, my phone stuck in the fastboot mode.

After flashing the Syberia 9.0 rom into my mix 2, my phone stuck in the fastboot mode. Every time I tried to reboot my phone, my phone will go right into the fastboot mode. I could get into the TWRP, and I perform the 'wipe' serval times.
This is what happens on my phone:
wipe the system---- flash the rom ------ reboot ----- fastboot mode
I don't know what happens with my phone. Pls help me guys:crying:

Could I try to use the official miui fastboot update via the mi flash?

Try installing again with "Clean Flash". Wipe System, Cache/Dalvik and format Data (don't wipe data).
Backup your data first, because your data will destroy.

I believe you should already have the ROM, Firmware and Gapps into internal storage.
Now boot to recovery.
Wipe Data (if u are decrypted, format data)
But be aware that formatting Data means that you have to again copy everything back to internal storage using adb. So my advice is to just wipe and see if that works out.
Install Firmware, ROM and Gapps zip.
Order of installation should be same.
Reboot - 1st boot may take some time.

[GSI Question] How does one properly install a GSI?

SM-G960F/DS is bootlooping regardless of what GSI/gapps/kernel/etc is being installed post-PIE update.
I had, at one point, installed an 8.1 GSI long ago before I installed the CSD1 update and managed to get it to boot, but have not been able to get one to boot at all now.
Just looking for some input from anyone else running GSI's or trying to at least.
So, just to clarify, these are the steps I went through from a fresh CSD4 build. (With no success.)
Advanced Wipe
>Selected Dalvik/ART Cache, System, Data, and Cache and wiped.
Install
>Selected GSI (Tried multiple ones, such as Resurrection Remix and Havok's)
Reboot into recovery
Advanced Wipe
>Selected System, then Resized
Install
>Selected Gapps (Tried OpenGapps, phh's GSI gapps and bitgapps)
>Tried installing custom kernels, Magisk, and vendor/firmware files when GSI+gapps didn't work.
Reboot into system
>System will reboot, show the boot screen, restart, show the boot screen again, then reach the boot animation where it will remain.
Regardless of image/gapps/kernel/vendor/firmware, it has resulted in bootloops
Currently (attempting to) pull any log I can get.
I'd appreciate any help I can get here.
Thanks.

Xiaomi Max 3 stuck on boot after Unlock + TWRP Format Data

So here's what I did to cause my phone to get stuck on the logo screen:
1. Unlocked my phone using the Mi Unlock
2. Used ADB to install twrp-3.3.1-0-nitrogen
3. I couldn't mount my Data or SD Card folders due to encryption, so someone told me to use TWRP to format data, which I did. It didn't boot up after that.
I've tried the following fixes:
1. TWRP > Advanced Wipe > Cache / Data / Internal Storage / System
2. TWRP > Install > MIUI 11 V11.0.2.0.PEDCNXM
3. TWRP > Install > MIUI 11 V11.0.3.0.PEDCNXM
4. TWRP > Install > Magisk-v20.4
No luck, still stuck on boot. Anyone kind enough to please help?

I had the same problem when I backed up the global rom with OrangeFox and restarted the system without installing anything.
The following procedure worked for me.
User the latest version of TWRP 3.3.1 do not use OrangeFox
1. First you must remove the encryption, Wipe> Format Data, confirm by typing "yes"
2. Advanced Wipe and clean Dalvik, Cache, Data, System and Vendor.
3. Then proceed with the installation.
In my case I installed xiaomi.eu_multi_MIMAX3_V11.0.2.0.QEDCNXM_v11-10
Hope this helps!

Thanks a lot for the reply!
I somehow managed to get it working with OrangeFox, so I'm going to try it for awhile till it breaks. But I can't seem to pass the SafetyNet Check in Magisk, so I might have to your tips eventually.
What I did was:
1. Use the MI Flash tool + 11.03 CN Fastboot ROM to get out of the boot loop.
2. Loaded OrangeFox-R10.1-stable-nitrogen and Magisk-v20.4 on an SD Card
3. ADB + Fastboot to install twrp-3.3.1-0-nitrogen, then installed OrangeFox
4. Using OrangeFox, installed Magisk-v20.4

I have not yet rooted with magisk on xiaomi.eu so I have no way of giving an opinion on what may have gone wrong in your case.
But did you install the most current magisk from magisk.me and clear the cache?
maybe this video can help you. shows a Brazilian installing orangefox and rooting with magisk in the global rom and everything works, Magisk passes the SafetyNet test. https://youtu.be/O5bq1HMFREI?t=328

Pixel Experience 11 Bootloop

Hi,
i was using LineageOS 17.1(Android 10) on my pixel Xl (32 gb storage)
when android 11 came out, I thought I would switch to pixel experience. So I went to their official website and downloaded the android 11 version of pixel XL
There was an instruction guide provided by the developers on how to install android 11
So I followed that and even after applying update from the adb, there was no issue at all
but when I pressed "Reboot to system" Bootloop is happening
Note: I didn't noticed the official instruction first so i installed twrp to flash the rom just like I flashed LineageOS, but in the advance wipe section, there was only 4 option available
-Dalvik / ART cache
-System
-Data
-Internal Storage
there was no cache option
I formatted the data and wiped all of them and tried to both install and sideload the rom but every time during the installation, an error (code 28) occurs
Then I downloaded the rom again hoping that the previos 1 was corrupted and i saw the instruction guide this time.
So I followed the guide and installed their recovery image, flashed recovery partition and flashed the rom using sideload.
But after rebooting the system, Bootloop keeps occurring
*sorry for any misspell or grammatical mistake*

I'm having the same issue. Did you flash the repartition zip?
I ended up reflashing stock rom https://developers.google.com/android/images#marlin
Try doing that and restarting the process

I actually solved the problem a few moments ago
What i did wrong was, when i sideload the rom rom file with twrp i always cleared the dalvik and cache file
let me make a little guide for you..hope that will help
1. install twrp recovery
2. go to wipe section -> advanced wipe -> wipe all 4(Dalvik/ART cache, System, Data, Internal Storage)
3. do a factory reset and format data
4. go to mount section and check all the boxes (system, data, vendor)
5. sideload the repartition zip according to your storage and device model (mine was pixel xl 32gb)
6. after sideload is done reboot the system..it will reboot into recovery again
7. then again sideload the rom file (don't check the clear cache and dalvik boxes)
8. after that is done, go back to main menu and go to reboot-> switch to slot B-> Reboot into system
Hopefully you're done
Note: don't skip any step regarding how minor it is
and if you wish you can also follow the official instruction: https://wiki.pixelexperience.org/devices/marlin/install/
Let me know if it works for you
Best of luck!
