Hello, need your help guys.
So my Whyred bootlooping now. What I did previously was wiping System, Cache, Dalvik & Data before flashing custom ROM -- I know, this shouldn't be an issue. But since I can do fastboot, I tried to flashes recovery. I tried a few (TWRP, RedWolf & Batik), for each the steps were all the same: Via fastboot flash the dummy image to manipulate ARB check, then flash Recovery and finish with boot into recovery.
The phone booting into recovery, I can see the screen of recoveries for few second, then phone bootlooping again.
What should I do?
And for additional information, my phone was unlocked bootloader -- it still unlocked because I can see the Unlocked sign on bootloop screen. I also tried to flash official MIUI rom via fastboot (whyred_global_images_V10.0.6.0.OEIMIFH_20181127) but it was failed because anti roll back -- I also don't understand this because the ARB was supposed not allowing me to downgrade, but why is it also not allowing me to flash the latest ROM too?
I am now stucked in bootloop -- still can do fastbooting, but really have no idea how to flash any rom and get into the system. Really need help help help please
Try this:
Code:
fastboot boot recoveryname.img
like fastboot boot RedWolf.img

So, I have the X9046 variant, and I've tried to use the TWRP recovery here.
I went into fastboot, did fastboot flash recovery <recoverynamehere>.img, with no errors. But, when I reboot into recovery it goes into the stock recovery.
I even did fastboot boot <recoverynamehere>.img, and it would just be stuck in fastboot, until I forced a reboot.
Any ideas?

I've used that before, and I've had the same problem.
No error during process ?
What are your build ?
stock or custom rom ?
Did you try to unlock bootloader ?

If you're running ColorOS, there might be a script that's part of ColorOS that restores the stock recovery. Not sure. (It's a common thing to see in most OEM firmware releases)
Hi,
My phone is rooted and the DPI was customized. I tried to manually flash the OTA but the installation got stuck so I cannot boot into Android anymore. I tried those restore tutorials but when I try to flash using fastboot I get a "FAILED (remote: Permission denied). I tried to clear the cache in the recovery and then it got also stuck and now I can't access recovery.
This is what I can read in the bootloader
---------------------------
FASTBOOT MODE
PRODUCT_NAME - Z00A
VARIANT - ASUS_Z00A
HW_VERSION -
BOOTLOADER VERSION - unknown
IFWI - 0094.0177

SECURE_BOOT - ?
continue fastboot process

I just been successful in installing TWRP recovery using the toolkit.
Edit: I installed the latest CM 13 build and it can't boot to Android. It goes straight to TWRP recovery no matter how I turn on the phone. My bootloader still looks the same.
Edit: I tried flashing a prerooted .img and stock recovery and I can go back to recovery but I still can't boot into Android or factory reset or nothing.... I'm desperate!

You may need to flash boot.img and droidboot.img for the same version of rom you flashed, ie. if you flashed 139 then you must flash the recovery, boot and droidboot images for 139...
As you found the pre-root rom files, download the whole file and flash these image files too making sure you use the right commands or you will brick your phone...
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
Just remember, flashing these partitions can, potentially, brick your phone. You do this at your own risk...
Happy flashing....

Thanks for your help. I did that earlier with the latest pre-rooted OTA and now it gets stuck on the splashscreen. I tried going to recovery (stock now) and doing a factory reset after flashing system.img and it still the splashscreen after I reboot. I know the 1st boot after flahing a ROM can be long, but now it's been an hour and I'm still on the splash screen...
The only other thing I can recommend is to flash a RAW rom image. As I have never needed to do this I can't say how this works but if you do a search you should find out the procedure...
This may relock your bootloader so just be aware....
Hey guys and gals,
Silly question.
For a few months now, I've had TWRP 3.1.0 RC2 installed and no matter what I do, I absolutely cannot reboot into recovery. If I choose reboot to recovery while the phone is running, it results in a ramdump and eventually boots to system. If I reboot into the bootloader and choose to boot into recovery mode from there, it just boots to system. It's incredibly annoying. Literally the only time I can get into recovery is when I connect my phone to a computer and fastboot boot into a temporary TWRP Img and install TWRP again. Once I boot into system, I can never boot into recovery again. This is extremely inconvenient on the go, like right now, because I want to flash V4A before I start playing music from my Bluetooth speaker. Guess I'll just listen to low quality music :'(
What am I doing wrong? This is stupid.

I had the same problem, then I got a twrp boot loop, ended up having to boot into slot b and reflash stock img through adb, beware...
I was JUST about to post this! Exact same problem to the tee (except using RC1)! Hopefully someone smarter can chime in lol

Anyone got some insight to this? Can't be that uncommon of a problem...
Try starting the process again.
Boot to bootloader
Fastboot boot 3.0.2 rc1
In twrp flash 3.1.0 r 2
Reboot recovery and check if it works

I never had TWRP stick unless I added another step to your instructions --boot completely into the rom once, go back into the bootloader, open temp TWRP and flash the TWRP zip again. If I didn't do this my recovery would always revert to stock but, strangely, even though I was running a custom rom the combination of the custom rom and stock recovery never bootlooped my phone and I was able to boot from the stock recovery to the custom rom with no problems. The only reason not being able to boot into TWRP was even an issue was that you can't flash any zips in recovery without it. Otherwise the phone ran so perfectly I didn't even realize at first that TWRP wasn't still the installed recovery.
Get the stock boot.img (this will remove root/kernel/twrp)
Boot into the bootloader
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot --set-active=a or b (switch to the inactive slot)
Fastboot reboot bootloader
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot --set-active=a or b (reload previous slot)
Fastboot reboot bootloader
Fastboot BOOT twrp.img
Flash TWRP in twrp..
If you can do that I would be interested in your results.
Also pointing out flashing rooms and certain zips here in the forums WILL revert you back to a stock recovery. Just my last bit of helpful information, hope someone gets it figured out, flashing is already a chore for those of us who like to experiment.

I was able to boot into recovery after doing this. Got a bootloop booting into system though, but flashing the ROM (and TWRP) fixed it.
Hello,
Try booting to TWRP 3.0.2 RC1 then flash TWRP 3.0.2 RC1 + SR1-SU v2.82SR1 + SU Pixel Fix (from Chains beta thread) one right after the other in the same TWRP session then reboot. Should fix your issue, give you recovery+root without ram dump.
Cheers
Everytime you flash a rom you need to flash twrp before rebooting or you'll lose twrp recovery.
Unfortunately I've had to get my Pixel XL replaced due to a defect and received a Verizon edition XL running 7.1.1. This is what I get for buying it from Best Buy Therefore I cannot unlock the bootloader and this problem no longer applies to me.
I'll keep this thread open for a bit in case it's useful for anyone else. I'll just sit here in all of my Stock-ness.
I couldn't get this to work. Tried flashing stock boot.img, then booting off of the TWRP images but I keep getting TWRP boot loop. Any suggestions? Tried flashing the entire stock image as well and no dice...
Goodmorning, I've a strange problem with flashing recovery.
I used lastest fastboot
I've flashed the recovery (fastboot flash...) Then booted into it directly (fastboot boot recovery...) And obviously problems with mounting data.
The real problem is that when I reboot system , twrp is automatically erased and stock recovery is mounted.
I've tried everything, new recovery,new fastboot...
Please help me
That's standard with a lot of OEM ROMS on many different phones. You can flash magisk or SuperSU to preserve your flashed twrp.

That won't work, the no-verity-opt zip is needed to preserve twrp or it will always revert back to the stock one.
Go here

And DL the TWRP & no-verity-opt-encrypt 1.6
follow the directions starting with
Open a command prompt and verify your device appears in fastboot
Then run

- flash latest twrp https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomimimix2.html
- reboot to recovery with hardware keys (volume-up + power) immediately after flashing
That solved the problem for me.
Hi there.
I'm using Global Developer ROM(MIUI9, 8.4.19).
And I'm trying to flash TWRP and install Custom ROM.
I asked Xiaomi for unlock my bootloader, and after 72 hours I could unlock my phone.
After that, I flashed TWRP 3.2.1-4.
Method to flash :
1. Boot into fastboot mode(vol down + power)
2. On windows command prompt, type "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img", "fastboot reboot"
but I can't boot normally, only can boot fastboot & TWRP recovery.
I tried several methods.
1. Try LazyFlasher - bootloop, nothing was changed.
2. Try to flash another ROM(8.1 OmniROM) and gapps(OpenGapps, ARM64 pico) - same bootloop, with Omni bootlogo.
3. Try to flash OmniROM and LazyFlasher - same bootloop.
I can revoke my phone by Fastboot ROM and have no problem without trivial permission reset, but I can't use TWRP still.
Any methods to flash TWRP without bootloop?
flashing twrp doesnt cause bootloop. you went wrong somewhere. did you format system partition before flashing new rom?

Of course.
On the other hand, definitely, just flashing TWRP causes bootloop. I assume that stock beta rom might cause bootloop by incompatibility of TWRP, but I can't return to stock stable rom because I can't use TWRP recovery so I would lose all of my data.
try using stable rom. when i bought this phone2 years ago, i could flash twrp and root miui just fine
