Bricked my Mi6

So I just got Mi6 in my hands today, and tried to install Xiaomi EU v8.5.2.0 ROM.
Now, it won't boot. Stuck in Mi logo.
I have flashed TWRP
I have wiped Dalvik Cache, Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage (and probably that messed it up)
Then, installed the ROM via sideload. Rebooted phone, and it's stuck in boot logo
Some friends said something about "boot.img" and SuperSU. What should I do now?
Thank you!

I think your best bet now to use miflash tool and flash fastboot rom.
Though if you can flash twrp, you should be able to flash custom rom using that. Follow the steps 1 by 1. Sometimes certain rom needs u to flash firmware first.

Well, I have fixed it by repairing system partition. But now, no EU ROM will boot. MIUI Global Stable v8.2 boots, but Wi-Fi and fingerprint is broken.

So he restarted? Test can be ROM dev to see
But bizarre that on stable ROM this does not work

Yeah, I would suggest flash stable fastboot rom via miflash and start again. If fingerprint/wifi still broken after flash fastboot rom via miflash, there is high chance the hardware is broken.
If it does back to stock and everything works, follow flash procedure for custom rom step by step. There is no real reason it will not work. Good luck

MiFlash gives me "cast id invalid" error, I've been using TWRP and fastboot to flash. I flashed it few times, but it didn't work. So I wiped all the data, flashed again and it works now.
Any ideas why won't EU ROMs boot?
Thanks!

I am using xiaomi.eu ROM myself flashed via twrp 3.1.1.0 Seems working fine. I just boot the twrp via fastboot boot, using twrp mtp to transfer EU rom inside, and flashed.
Done. Everything works. I am currently under miui 8.2 atm. Seems good so far.

HELP! Phone only boots into recovery after fresh install

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?

I used MI MIX 2D:
As in en.miui web site

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

HELP! Bootloop when trying to Install Pixel Experience Plus

Have tried to clean flash latest PE Plus ROM 3 times today. I have a recovery backup of Havoc that I was able to get back to, but can't get past Google boot screen when flashing PE Plus.
Here is my process.
- Download latest Pixel Experience Plus (file name PixelExperience_Plus_whyred-9.0-20190906-0859-OFFICIAL.zip from Pixel Experience website) and save to SD card
- Download Magisk 19.3.zip from Magisk and save to SD card
- Download latest firmware from xiaomifirmwareupdater.com (stable, V10.3.2.0.PEIMIXM, 9.0 Global)
- Boot to TWRP 3.3.1-0
- Press Wipe - Wipe - Davlik, Cache, Data, System, Vendor
- Press install - Choose firmware file (stable V10.3.2.0.PEIMIXM 9.0 Global)
- Swipe to install
- Back home
- Press Install - Choose PixelExperience file from SD Card, press Add Zip, Choose Magisk 19.3zip from SD card
- Swipe to install
- After install finishes, choose swipe to reboot. Then choose swipe to install TWRP.
Phone reboots. Shows Mi logo for a couple seconds. Shows "Google" logo for a couple seconds. Google logo becomes the google multi-colored "G" with a progress bar going below the "G". Phone will stay here and not go any further.
Advice? Am I missing something in my flashing process?
Thank you in advance if you can help.

try not install magik on the first time booting

Tried to flash PE plus
used the same process
didn't flash magisk or any other type of root
same outcome, only thing different is that I lost my backup data after getting a password prompt on twrp and solve it like an idiot by wiping everything.
any help is appreciated I really like this rom :crying:
Edit: Fixed the problem by flashing again twrp recovery right after flashing the firmware, than proceeding with the same steps, Didn't take long in the fist boot. yet another problem, It's detecting my sim card and can't connect to wifi so I'm stuck on the setup; tried clean flashing another rom ( bootleggers) after I gave up on PEE but the same problem. I have no idea what to do now

I would start over with original miui fastboot rom via mi flash tool. It should make everything work again. Then you could try orangefox recovery instead of twrp to flash pixel experience rom.

Can you explain what steps you took to get the google PE to install safe

Hello,
I have a Redmi Note 8 Pro. I downloaded the ROM from PE site. https://download.pixelexperience.org/begonia. I install this ROM but after a reboot I can only see the REDMI Logog and than is a bootloop.
Any ideas?

Only way
the only way out is try clearing data partition in manage partition section of orange fox recovery or twrp,this would help but all data would be wiped.

Assuming that you've unlocked the bootloader and properly installed ADB drivers:
Boot to fastboot
Type: fastboot boot X:/location_of_Offain_TWRP.img
Tap cancel
Go to wipe, then format data, then type yes, then enter.
Go back to the Wipe menu, Wipe Cache, Data, System, Internal storage
Go back to TWRP Menu
Flash the ROM you want to install
Flash the TWRP Installer
Then go to reboot menu
Change slot (A to B or B to A)
Then Reboot to Recovery
Then flash Force Encryption Disabler
Flash Magisk
Flash GApps
Then finally, reboot system.

How to encrypt phone again?

I unlocked and rooted my 8T as described in this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...de-unlocking-bootloader-twrp-rooting-t4031831
I made decryption including format Data and installing Universal DM-Verity and ForceEncrypt disabler, also installed stock EEA V11.0.3.0.PCXEUXM (MIUI10) and Magisk
All working fine except phone password lock, and as I read now, locks don't work on decrypted phone. So I decide to encrypt my phone back. But it does not work, when I pressed "encrypt phone" button in privacy settings it just reboot and nothing happened.
I tried OrangeFox recovery, made all steps as described here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-8/how-to/guide-flashing-miui-ota-rom-recovery-t4041591
but still the same trouble.. So, how to encrypt phone with stock rom, root and recovery?

Yes, I want encrypted phone.
How it possible with Magisk and recovery?
I need flash fresh EEA 11.0.3.0 from Miflash, than install recovery and Magisk. And what else?
If I install Dm-Verity path, than I need format data and decrypt phone.
If I skip Dm-Verity installation, than I will have a bootloop.

flash the fastboot rom from mi flash and boot it till android setup....you don't necessarily have to set up your phone right now(you can setup your phone no issue though)...then flash orangefox recovery....then in orangefox settings->miui ota settings-> tick everything except Disable Forced Encryption...then flash stock recovery rom through orangefox once....after that flash magisk.... don't flash dm verity....now reboot.
Do not format data in any step..

Seems that OrangeFox do his job well. Now I have encrypted phone with root, and recovery handling my password and decrypt data if need.
Strange, that menu items "Disable DM-Verity" and "Disable forced encryption" gray in my Orangefox any time from initial installation, but everything looks OK in system...
