I just bricked my phone :crying: :crying:
I wanna get back to the official rom, after trying android P (without make it work).
(the rom is from http://en.miui.com/download-354.html)
But I run the wrong script and take the flash_all_lock.img
And my device is stuck on android 8.1 bootloop (It boot, but i get an animated line loop ...)
Any ideas or tricks before i get it back to warranty ?
Thanks
Unlock bootloader and flash again. You can find a guide to unlock bootloader at the beginning of this guide.

Have you tried to switch the active slot?
Try if it boots using
fastboot set_active a
or
fastboot set_active b
If not working, can you enter recovery (power on with Volume up button pressed)?
If you can enter recovery, hold down the power button for 3-5 seconds and then press and release the Volume up button, to make commands appear. Then your only hope is to install the OTA update zip from there (copy the OTA in a microSD card, there is a thread where you can find the link to the OTA zip).
In my opinion, "OEM unlocking" in developer options MUST be always keep active, because incidents like this could happen, and because even without modding, an OTA could go wrong resulting in your same situation.
I was in your same situation (OEM unlocking disabled and then I locked bootloader with a custom ROM installed) with a Nexus 5X.
I don't remember well how I fixed it, but I remember entering in Qualcomm download mode (should be the same EDL mode) and loading a file found after many hours of research in strange forums and sites.

In fact, both work, but my phone still stucked at the bootloader (infinite line animation in both cases).

Yes of course !
But I revert to stock rom with Mi Flash and I click on Flash all and lock, since the telephone should have been "brand new" it should not have any problems but ...
I have to enter EDL mode, but don't know how to do it since modified fastboot executables does not activate it it just reboot the phone...
Deep flash cable may help but not shure if it works, or I may have to disassemble the device to find EDL pins...
after unlock bootloader type fastboot flashing unlock_critical and flash with miflash tool

try this http://www.xiaomitool.com/ not sure if it works on our phone but maybe can unlock the bootloader so you can use miflash
Have you sideloaded the zip? I think it's better to copy the OTA zip to microSD than ADB sideload.

There should be only two methods for entering EDL:
1- request authorization in en.miui.com forum. Sometimes the admins accept requests to give an account one EDL flash permission (but I don't know if it works with AndroidOne devices).
2- finding the test point in the phone's motherboard.
Hi guys,

How to unbrick?
Hey guys. I bricked my Mi2 Lite as well. Is there any step by step way to unbrick?
had the same problem, was stuck in the bootloop even after I flashed img with MiFlash! NOTE: MY BOOTLOADER WAS UNLOCKED!!! (LUCKLY I DID NOT TRIED FLASH ALL AND UNLOCK!)
headed to this thread
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
did not work, I get error saying FAILED
but after i used
Code:
fastboot oem edl
I went to MiFlash and used "Clean all" option (again note DON'T use "Clean all and lock"!!!). It took around 5 minutes to flash and my notif. light blinked whole the time. After it say "Success" I was able to normaly boot the phone again
Find "Mi A2 Lite toolkit V 1.0.4.2" and use it to flash stock 8.1, it will do all the magic with a few clicks, just don't interrupt it until your phone restarts and you get the "Welcome" screen. After you can do the upgrade to Pie via OTA.
Hi, where i can find MI A2 Lite Tool Kit? i open my device and i can put in EDL mode., my computer detect my pone in EDL mode, but i can not know do.
I like bypass FRP, can anybody help me
Thanks.

Hi all,
I also had same problem and I just resolve it.
My phone was in bootloop mode after stock rom flashing...
You don't need apply "fastboot oem edl" !
Just be sure your device is unlocked.
Download first stock rom (V9.6.4.0.ODLMIFF Firmware for Mi A2 Lite). If you flash last ROM, it don't work.
Flash it with XiaoMiFlash tool (don't forget to enable "Clean All") in bottom of the tool.
After reboot, you can apply OTA updates.
Enjoy !
I try to flash my phone with the newest version of firmware. I'm forget to change option OEM Lock in GUI. I'm only turn on option debugging USB and I forget second option. I'm start flash operation and I can't boot.img image flash. I have validation error. Problem is here I can't to finish flash operation, I can't change OEM Lock option. I haven't available android system, only fastboot mode. It's possible to flash or change OEM Lock option when system start only in fastboot ? Actually what operation should I try to fix my phone.

@thommy181 sorry for the late reply. I had not noticed your issue until just now, while doing some reading on the device forums. Please provide some more info. What is your model number and who is your mobile provider (if carrier branded). Thank you.
Hello friends
a friend brought me a Moto G7 Play (XT1952-2), and said he had forgotten the password, the email and all, to try to recover, he tried to flash, but did not unlock the bootloader, did not enable USB debugging and did not enable OEM unlock and yet downgraded on mobile.
The result is that the phone no longer leaves the Start Up Failed screen, it shows the following messages:
Fastboot AP Flash Mode (Secure)
SSM: Android checking failed.
No bootable A / B slot
Failed to boot Linux, failing back to fastboot
Fastboot Reason: Falling Through Normal Boot Mode
I already tried to unlock the bootloader, but as the OEM unlock option is not enabled, I could not. I tried to flash with the same rom as before or with a more current one and it didn't change anything either. I've tried basically everything I found in the forums. Can someone give me an idea of what to do?
Tks!

I tried to unlock the bootloader of my lg g7 emw using this method https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-guide-to-unlock-bootloader-for-every-g7-thinq-except-g710tm-with-photos.4168771/, but after replacing the adl files my phone is only on the fastboot screen being recognized as v35. When I start it, I see the red case error. Any solution or suggestion?
So are you still sometimes able to get into fastboot?
Was the OEM unlock command successful?
I have been trying to relock my bootloader several times so that things like Google Pay will work.
My phone has been in several bootloops either stuck in fastboot or with the red triangle. It is always possible to return the phone to normal as long as you backed up the abl and laf partitions with QFIL.
My approximate method for getting out of bootloops is like this:
1.EDL mode - Flash the V35 abl with QFIL
2. Unlock bootloader with fastboot (don't forget you might need FRP.img
3. Return to EDL - restore abl
4. Get into normal download mode (not EDL)
5. flash rom with LGUP
I sometimes had problems by trying to use straight cmd - always open powershell and then cmd
I managed to unlock the bootloader more when starting the phone I get redcase with the message all slots are unbootable

so do you have unlocked bootloader
Ive had my LG G7 for about a year now. I managed to unlock the bootloader without any problems and used magisk ok.
I just came to upgrade the firmware without any problems. I enabled dev and usb debug but the 'Enable oem unlock' button is greyed out and displays "bootloader already unlocked" ok so not a problem - that is until I come to access the bootloader again.
Here is the message:
Welcome to Fastboot mode: Please check "Enable OEM unlock" in developer options
adb commands no longer work at this point as connection is lost. Only choice is manually reboot or switch off.
WTF now what. Im unable to root or restore the bootloader. So even though its unlocked and displays the bootloader unlocked message when booting - Fastboot does not see it and it still wants me to 'Enable oem unlock' but its greyed out.
Any suggestions please anyone
You can use QFIL to restore laf_a & laf_b. Then flash full rom (Refurbish) in Download mode.
ps: the reason is you do not flash full rom after unlock bootloader in order to tell to the machine that you are in the illegal mode kakaka.
Thanks for your reply nttuan. I just about gave up hope. Im totally paranoid without root. No decent firewall, cant freeze garbage etc.
Being relatively unsure, would you mind going over the QFIL method with me.
Thanks

Never used QFIL before. Where do I get the firehose elf file from. I noticed a couple of elf files in the extracted folder, is it one of these.
Do I have to create any xml files and do I have to rename any of the kdz extracted files?
Some posts are a bit old and for other models.
Instead of flash the boot_a from magisk_patched image, you can use command
fastboot boot magisk_patched.img
and use the LGUP to reflash the firmware.
If you look at the photo above I LOSE ALL ADB commands after adb reboot bootloader.
fastboot boot magisk_patched.img or any other command just displays "Waiting For any Device" in CMD window.
This is my problem because the bootloader is already unlocked and oem greyed out - it is asking me to "Enable OEM Unlock"
I am wanting to either root the phone or restore bootloader to locked. Sorry for any confusion
type fastboot devices and show me the result.
maybe you do not have correct fastboot driver
It did say waiting for any device but now its gone from bad to worse. I followed this guide Here and now all I get is fastboot screen, see photo. If I now try fastboot devices then fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched.img it shows error which does not look good actually , photo 2. Cant get download mode. If I try to get it by holding volume button and inserting usb lead I get this nasty screen, photo 3. I think that some of the partitions may have been overwitten. . Stupid move on my part.
Forgot to mention - EDL is still accessable
Ive managed to sort the above problem
QFIL flashed only the following 6 files :
abl_a and abl_b
laf_a and laf_b
boot_a and boot_b
Phone rebooted perfectly after this.
Thanks for your advice
