Help!! I'm afraid I've bricked my MiA2 Lite .. I unlocked the bootloader to install the GCAM then I used the "all in one" tool to lock the bootloader again, the phone has turned off and does not turn on again .. just flashes in which I see a white screen with the writing Android P (or so it seems, it's very fast) .. what can I do?

Try to enter fastboot again by pressing volume - and power button, then from your computer use fastboot to unlock again the OEM with the command fastboot oem unlock and reflash the stock image. If you aren't able to unlock the OEM try to enter revovery mode but if that also fails, you will have to dissasemble partially your phone to enter edl mode and reflash the stock image, for that process you will have to use MiFlash tool on its latest version.

I unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP Recovery using the OP3 Tool. However now the phone will not boot unless I press the power button a few times. When it does boot I get the "Your device is not safe message", if I boot from here I get the OnePlus logo with the "powered by android" text but then it just shuts off. If I use the volume keys to select something else, I get nothing, the fastboot mode just gets stuck on the fastboot until I turn the device off, recovery just reboots to the "Your device is not safe screen".
Any help would be wonderful

Did you flash anything while you were unlocking the bootloader? The message is shown when the bootloader is unlocked so that is ok. Your phone, however, should turn on by long pressing the power button. You're getting a bootloop, If I were in such a situation I'd use the fastboot mode to flash the stock firmware again to get the phone working...

Awesome! Enjoy :good:
So after locking the bootloader in an attempt to get Android Pay to work, my OP3 tried to reboot itself but the only thing that happens is the Android logo flashes for half a second and the phone vibrates as it usually does when I boot it, then the screen goes dark for a second, and it repeats continuously like this. I'm completely unable to use my phone because of this.
I've tried entering fastboot mode which seems to work but when I try to enter recovery mode or start the phone, the same thing happens. I can only power off or restart the bootloader from this screen.
I'm assuming the bootloader is locked because the device state is displayed as locked in red while I'm in fastboot mode (or bootloader mode?).

Congratulations, you have succesfully hardbricked you device.
Try method 1 from below link if it does not work, method 2 will but you'll lose All your data.

Turns out I just needed to unlock the bootloader again. That seems to have done the trick for this issue.

OK that's fine, mine suffered the same things but the bootloader was still unlocked.
Just wanted to pass along some knowledge I gained the hard way when rooting my BLN-24 with Nougat (360).
1) Make sure you have the EMUI 5-specific TWRP and SU. They may have the exact same version #s as their EMUI4 counterparts, but only the EMUI5 versions will work.
2) (This one cost me a LOT of time): Once you "fastboot oem unlock", do NOT let the phone boot to system until you've installed TWRP! If you do, it will FRP lock, and the "Allow OEM Unlock" developer option will be permanently greyed out. With FRP lock on, you won't be able to flash a new recovery (it will error with FAILED (remote: not allowed)).
So after running "fastboot oem unlock" at recovery, the phone will reboot and factory reset. Once finished, shut it down, then start up with USB cable plugged in and holding Volume down + Power on. This will get you back into fastboot where you can now flash recovery or recovery2. If you screw it up and flash the wrong recovery, you'll have to RE-lock your bootloader, then re-unlock the bootloader and go through the whole process again.
Unless there's a simple way around that problem that I totally missed...
3) Don't try to re-lock your bootloader once you've flashed a new recovery. Once I did that, the device would only boot to eRecovery. (Actually, I flashed TWRP to recovery2 so I could still get OTA updates, but I suspect flashing a replacement recovery and relocking bootloader will cause the same issue).
Hope that saved somebody some pain.
Help needed After Flashing berlin twrp recovery . The phone just boots to Revovery.
Thanks for the article Florp . I need some help to fix my recovery issue.
I have flashed the twrp berlin recovery for EMUI 5.x and now my phone just boot to recovery no matter what I do.
Your help will be much appreciated.
Are you able to get to the bootloader (fastboot) screen (USB cable plugged in, Volume down + Power on)?
If so, what does it show for the lock status of FRP and bootloader?

The Bootloader screen says
Phone Unlocked
FRP Unlocked.
If you only flashed TWRP and haven't flashed a custom ROM, I would try to flash the stock recovery for your current ROM and see if that fixes it.
Thanks for the heads up. Good looking out..

I am trying to install the eu version 8.8.9, but when i am installing the nitrogen recovery the phone turn the screen black and said press some button to shut down, so i cannot do anything.

What happened prior to this, I mean what could cause this? And did you try to enter to recovery, and doing the normal reboot to system?
