Hi everyone,
I got Chinese version Note 8 Pro from Mi official store and unlocked bootloader after 7 days.
I downloaded Global MIUI 11 ROM via official miui download link, "ifelixit+FLASHER+TOOLKIT+Begonia" and installed ADB drivers etc.
After run ifelixit+FLASHER+TOOLKIT+Begonia.bat and pick 1, it installed recovery, then I'm able to boot into TWRP, and then I installed global rom from there, meanwhile wiped everything in it as I don't need China version rom. Phone reboot well and new global rom works great.
Then I try to install Magisk, I noticed recovery seems be restored to original, no worries, I re-run ifelixit+FLASHER+TOOLKIT+Begonia.bat and pick 1 to install TWRP again. Whatever I did, I cannot get TWRP back, when I hold power/+, it keep blank and will restart, but if I don't hold them, it can get into the system.
My first question is: 1. At this stage, is recovery crash already?
I didn't think too much and I get into system, install Magisk manager, let it to patch boot.img, I then use following command in fastboot mode
fastboot flash boot boot_patch.img
After I finished, I noticed maybe I can do TWRP here as well, then I also input
fastboot flash boot TWRP.img
After reboot, the phone is dead....No fastboot, NO recovery, no vibration. exactly described as here
[UNBRICK - stuck on DA mode / Authorised Service Account required]
https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...ide-unbrick-stuck-da-mode-authorised-t4000433
I re-think what I did, my question is
2. Will boot_patch.img Magisk patched not suitable for China phone with global rom?
3. Is fastboot dead because I installed recovery into boot via fastboot flash boot TWRP.img?
Thanks for your time and appreciated for any knowledgeable reply.
Flash your original boot.img for your original firmware or just download the xiaomitoolV2 and flash it that way. I see a lot of people flashing stock firmware using TWRP. Hence the v2 tool only works if your phone still fully boots. NOTE do not flash stock FW or UPDATE using TWRP you will brick the device. Chances are your FW didn't flash and just ADB CMD fatsboot flash boot ( then set BOOT.IMG ) in the CMD and get the devices booting again. Then use the V2 tool to flash the global firmware get that to stick then use the ifelixit tool to flash recovery once in recovery go advanced file mgr system-root at the bottom delete boot P then close AVB 2.0 then hit the install root button SU - magisk 19.4 will be installed. no need to wipe or format the phone ( DON'T FORGET TO WIPE CACHE & DALVIC.

Remove the back off the phone and disconnect the battery for 5 min just to be sure hold the power button to clear all power left in the phone. Main objective is to get useage again fastboot or recovery. If you get recovery sideload your boot img and flash it on the next reboot twrp will be overridden.

Thanks. Currently my phone doesn't have reboot, no recovery, purely blank on screen, only power led shows when connecting via USB. In this situation, must open back case to disconnect the battery? I heard about it's free to go back to mi store and re flash it back. To open back case it won't have warranty anymore. Struggling....

I also have two bricked phones note 8 pro with no recovery, only white led shows when connecting via USB.
First bricked with TWRP and then flashed with false boot.img, second is bricked with OrangeFox-Unofficial-begonia.img.
I was open back case and disconnect the battery, stay 3 days but nothing working to reboot to fastboot or recovery.
Also I have already tried with short circuit test point to EDL mode but phone is still dead. I have downloaded many xiaomi and other tools and firmwares, installed all available usb drivers and reading all internet forums.
Please help!

Hello,
I think I did the same error, flashing a wrong boot.img...
I tell you if I manage to do something.
hello, the solution to the problem is the battery is completely discharged until the device stops responding to any attempts to start using the key combination. unless you tried to flash a fastboot partition. the solution works after hard bricking after trying to upload incompatible twrp or other rom (I uploaded Chinese twrp on eu rom). ok, we start:
1. holding vol - and power plug in the usb cable (the buttons are released when the notification LED changes from very bright for a moment to slightly dimmed)
2. you will see the long unseen battery symbol with a lightning inside (i.e. a completely discharged battery, the charge status will begin to show the percentage)
3. Turn off the USB cable at 3 percent.
4. now an important thing - you need to start the phone only trying to enter the fastboot mode otherwise the phone will start to boot the system and get stuck again and you will have to unload it again
5. you will finally enter the fastboot , using only the software from xiaomi or xiaomi flash and fastboot rom
I succeeded after 2 weeks of waiting for it to discharge ...
I copied this tutorial from this partner klocek80 , and it worked perfectly

I'm with you. The boot image has error and when MTK realize it has something wrong it will NOT enter into fastboot. The only way to fix this is too use SP Flash Tool for deep flash. Mi store uses this way as well to fix the issue.
Try this:

I didn`t find any background on your issue, just something like you actually have a device with white led light blinking.
I read this thread before (yes, some weeks ago) this happened to me yesterday https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-8-pro/how-to/guide-unlock-note-8-pro-authorised-t4168805 the short story is that I were trying to return to Miui 12 after of using some custom ROMs and something in the flashing process failed I mean it was an incomplete flashing and I assumed that most probably just the bootloader partition was damaged. The whole important fact in this situation is that you have yet available fastboot mode but like the splash partition with its image was gone I couldn `t see it and I were anyway in fastboot mode so I could flash the proper files to "unbrik" it. (my device is unlocked)
What you should try is connect it with PC while you`re pressing the volume down, enter to adb/fastboot environment and type fastboot commands to see if device is recogniced, you don`t have to hear constant reboot sounds or in this case press the power button simulating that you are powering off device.

Hi @Flavio,
With the unlock-code I could unlock the bootloader.
On every start of the tablet I get now a warning that my device is untrusted, after some seconds it booted up into the normal "Desktop" view.
After I've activated again the USB-Debugging option I send it via "adb reboot bootloader" into the fastboot-mode and now the FRP-status shows "unlocked".
So, I've flashed the downloaded "twrp.img" to the recovery partition and reboot the tablet.
There is no difference to see, I get the untrust-note and then it is booting into the desktop view.
BUT how can I get into the twrp-mode? Normally when I boot up with "Volume-up"+"Power" but here it started into the Huawei EMUI Recovery console, not the TWRP surface. So I've flashed the twrp.img again but no change. And when I boot directly into the recovery "adb reboot recovery" I get the untrust-hint and the note that the system is booting now, but nothing is happen. Whit a cold-reset it shows the same screen. First when I go into the Huawei Recovery mode and press only "Reboot" it is booting up again as normal as before into the desktop mode.
My 2nd question is: you say you have used the SRK Tool to root your device. But under the link I can find a toot for the Huawei Mate 8 ? You mean I can download and use this tool for the Huawei Mediapad M3 too? ...after I could install TWRP?
Thanks for you help.

The tool for huawei devices version 2.0 works fine (pont 4 (root), use another huawei device for routing)
kind regards,

Thanks ein777er for this hint.
But before I can root my device I have to install TWRP. Here is currently my stop-point due to that fastboot tells that the twrp.img was installed without issues but when I boot into the recovery the tablet stops the boot on the "untrust"-screen and first when I go into the eRecovery-mode and reboot the tablet I will be back on the working surface.
For the root process the SRK tool want as well to boot into twrp first and I end up in the same stop-screen.
Maybe this is caused from the installed version of EMUI?
I made no updates/upgrades and have only unpack it from the box. So I have EMUI 4.1 as system.
Beside this is there any known fix yet to "hide" the untrust screen during the boot?
Greets,

I need to turn off the tablet and then turn it on with Volume Up and Power on and hold it till TWRP starts.
//EDIT
OK last time I installed the Button combination changed. Try Vol+ and Vol- and Power. Had whole day headache till I recognized this

If your M3 USB plug (charger or computer) you can't go TWRP, only EMUI recovery.
please use Vol+ and Power when not connected USB for custom recovery
So I have my bootloader unlocked via the official huawei website method, and now I'm trying to flash twrp. I followed the instructions and attempted to flash twrp. See the attached screenshot of my command window. It seems like it finished successfully (only took 0.7 seconds) but I saw nothing happen on the tablet itself. Just the same white screen with the android logo that says FASTBOOT&RESCUE MODE. No script or anything changed. So far I've been unable to boot into TWRP.
I have tried holding down the VOL UP + POWER combination and it takes me to the black "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted." screen with the text "Your device is booting now..." at the bottom and the tablet will just stay frozen there. Then if I hold the power button for a few seconds it will take me to a similar black screen but with three options. If I do option (1) which is to hold the VOL UP button for 3 seconds it will take me to the EMUI recovery not TWRP.
Hopefully someone can help out here.
I'm stuck on the same step as you. Greatslons version of twrp doesn't seem to work on the US versions. Just freezes upon boot. Anyone have any idea why that would be?
Fyi, my working twrp flash to my non-US M3 was also very fast. So fast that I thought it didn't really do anything. But it worked.
Did you guys do the OEM unlock step? I wonder if there is some kind of region locking between the hardware and the bootloader.
I did the OEM unlock step. I also tried flashing it to recovery and recovery2, both of which didn't work. Sucks cause we can't root without twrp, yet we have our bootloaders unlocked.

Exact same issue here I got the unlock code and unlocked the bootloader, no issues there. Next I flashed twrp and got the exact same result as you. There doesn't seem to be any way to get in to twrp at all... I even tried "adb reboot recovery" but it just goes in to the "Your device has been unlocked.. " screen and then says "Your device is booting now...", then gets hung on that screen. How do we get past this? Thanks in advance for any help.
I bought this device thinking I could root it
I'm in the USA and I bought the device from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LB08BH6/
Hello, I have sent my phone to warranty and after that I received a phone with NO RPMB and after many frustrations I found (with help of many users and forums) how to workaround this..
To start:
Download boot image from here
Download twrp from the official website
Change the name to boot.img and twrp.img and put it in the platform-tools folder
Open the terminal there
Download your favourite rom
Enter fastboot mode on your phone
!!!!After this you will loose all of your data!!!!
Paste this to the terminal
fastboot oem unlock
(select yes on your phone)
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache
Reboot to recovery (if it doesn't enter at the first time enter download mode again and restart to recovery)
After that you have twrp and can flash every rom.. yay!!!
Wipe everything.
Copy the rom zip to your phone using MTP
Install your fancy new rom
If you want to install magisk:
Install the magisk manager.
On the app select install and select patch image file. (it will create a new boot image already patched)
After that install the new image (patched_boot.img) using twrp
Do a clean instalation of your ROM (recomended) or a Factory Reset first
Reboot to twrp
Select install
Click in install image
Select patched_boot.img
Select install to boot partition
Reboot.
Install magisk manager and do the sugested setup.
You now have magisk working
Thanks to all the users that helped me!!
I had real trouble getting twrp to work the last time I tried this a few months ago. Followed the steps here and am now on pixel experience with magisk. Thanks!
Hello, im in the same situation of NO RPMB. This procedure will permanently lets have bootloader unlocked?
About Magisk, i can install it in usual way once im in the recovery? (I mean download latest stable version for Bullhead and flash via TWRP).
Thanks.

My bootloader is still unlocked after following this guide
For Magisk:
-Install your custom ROM and boot it up (without root)
-Then extract the boot.img from the ROM zip file and save it on your phone storage.
-Install the Magisk manager apk
-In Magisk manager, select install Magisk> choose the patch boot image option and -Select the boot.img you previously saved.
Once it's done, reboot into twrp and flash the patched boot.img. When you reboot Magisk will be working.
I've had no issues with my bootloader, even after an ota update for pixel experience.
Thank you, i will try it.
Another question. I never tried dowload mode before, as i read in other post i should Plug USB cable into pc, Hold volume up and power at the same time and plug phone into usb that's already connected to pc, right?
When in download mode i can fire up fastboot commands like im in bootloader mode?
So then after do last command fastboot format cache i can reboot to recovery from terminal using adb reboot recovery or i can / should do it from device?
About twrp it's ok to use the latest 3.2.3.0 official version or the 3.2.1 4core version from here as someone suggested from Reddit? https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-4-core-t3796656

The official twrp works for fine for me, haven't tried the 4 core version but it can't hurt to try if you need it.
Power off your phone then press and hold volume - and power to enter bootloader, then connect to your pc and follow the steps in the OP
So i have to enter in bootloader mode? At point 6 of OP there is written to enter in the download mode, this makes me confusing.
Can anyone explain me latest 2 commands why they are needed?
fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache

This thread is fairly comprehensive;
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/moto-nexus-5x-sticky-roll-t3207487
Holding volume - and power takes you to fastboot mode (download mode essentially), theres also an option to reboot into recovery (selectable using the volume keys.)
Formatting user data and cache is necessary prior to installing a new rom (especially if moving from stock). You lose all data (back up first!) But a clean flash is the best place to start.

Thanks for the explanation but for installing a new ROM usually you can do factory reset directly in TWRP, plus doing all the wipes, this should be enough.
About fastboot mode and download mode, they are completely different, fastboot mode: vol down + power, download mode for LG: Plug USB cable into pc, Hold volume up and power at the same time and plug phone into usb.
My question is what i can do in download mode? As OP says after entering download mode open terminal and use fastboot commands.

You need to use vol- and power to go into fastboot mode then connect to the pc. As for userdata and cache, if you don't clean them when coming from stock you will have issues (your data will be encrypted if you're on stock?). As I said this guide worked for me. The op was talking about fastboot mode in the 6th option (also there is much more information in the thread I linked above)
sorry for the confusing i wanted to say fastboot mode..
i knew the thread that you are saying but most people doesn't want to search so I made a little thread only with the needed parts..
I use it myself so I have a place to remember all the steps when I need to change the rom to a new one or when I make experiments and brick my phone XD
If anyone know anything else that should be in here just say, I really want to improve the post
Hi. I just went through the whole process several times (I have tried the different modified boot images from the dedicated post) and my device is still locked [emoji24] any suggestions?

your device will always be locked this is a workaround to get twrp, new roms and magisk while it stays locked..
with twrp usable it won't matter if you are locked or not

Thanks for the answer. You mean that now I have twrp, I can flash custom Roms with my bootloader locked without any issue?
Envoyé de mon ONEPLUS A3003 en utilisant Tapatalk
Yes if you have TWRP you can install custom ROMs, custom Kernel's, magisk, super su, etc..
the locked bootloader only prevents you from using fastboot commands like the one needed for installing custom recovery
Now that you have TWRP you can use it for everything
Hello everyone, I also have a nexus 5x with motherboard that has been replaced under warranty and unfortunately I can't keep the bootloader unlocked.
I tried the procedure you have indicated, but at this point there is the problem, because after inserting the boot.img and twrp.img inside the phone, then when I go to do the unlocking procedure with 'fastboot oem unlock (select yes on your phone) 'in practice the memory is deleted on the phone, so I lose the previously uploaded files, and therefore I can no longer continue with the flash procedure of boot.img and twrp.img because they are no longer present in memory.
I hope I made myself understood, maybe I am wrong, or is there a way to solve this problem?

fastboot is for the files on your PC not your phone
you need to put the files inside of platform-tools and then open cmd inside it and use the fastboot commands
fastboot will take the files of your PC
Hello, thank you for your information, since I haven't done modding on phones for a long time, I didn't remember exactly the procedure with fastboot and therefore I didn't understand where I had to put the files, but in the end I did it.
Thank you

Why is a custom boot image needed? I don't want to root.
Hi.
So I was messing around with the twrp custom recovery and (without thinking much of it) wiped everything in the advanced wipe menu :crying: (System, data, EVERYTHING)
I knew I had removed my OS and that I could just use the twrp recovery to install a new rom onto my phone BUT little did I know, when I tried to boot into the custom recovery, it would just loop the screen with the redmi logo
I am still able to boot into fastboot mode, and I have tried to flash the same twrp recovery but with no avail (It still loops the redmi logo screen)
So now I'm here to ask if there is any advice that you could give me to try and fix this problem that I have gotten myself in (I am not worried about deleting any of my personal files. I would just like to get twrp to boot so that I can install another rom)
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me with this problem :highfive:
Hi, which rom are you trying to install? for android 9 use this recovery https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...overy-unofficial-twrp-recovery-redmi-t4002397, for android 10 this one... https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82062075&postcount=7...
If what nuvulet said doesn't work, in fastboot, flash the exact same stock ROM you had before, let it boot and then flash TWRP.

Hi, thanks for the fast reply.
The stock android I had before I wiped everything was android 9, MIUI 11. I tried againt to flash the recovery through fast boot but (like before) when I try to boot into the recovery (by holding the volume up button as it reboots), the redmi logo keeps appearing and disappearing and doesn't go to the twrp recovery. At the current moment I don't have any OS installed (since it got deleted when I wiped everything)
Any other leads I could try?

I'm not sure how I can flash the stock ROM without the twrp recovery. I had the impression that you needed twrp recovery in order to install ROMs in the first place.
If there is a method to flash a ROM using fastboot, please explain since my unexperienced self has no idea how to do this. :laugh:

MiFlash works through fastboot mode. It's also safer to flash with MiFlash, just make sure you have the correct ROM.

Yes, this is the method I used to flash the twrp recovery.
My problem was that even after installing it (using this method), i would still not be able to boot into the recovery.
However, it is fixed now. I used the Mi Flash tool in order to install the stock rom and then installed twrp after that. :good:

I tried this method and IT WORKED!!
After installing Mi flash I was able to download the stock rom and install it through the program without any errors.
I was then able to finally boot into the OS and install twrp recovery, then install the custom rom! :laugh:
Thanks for this method. I would probably still be stuck on the Redmi logo if it weren't for this
Hello guys, i have a mi 10t pro, today try after unlock devices 7 days to flashed and downgrade because my battery drain is significative, i had 12.5.1 eea firmware and try to downgrade to 12.0.19, but now phone is in continus reboot in to fastboot, i try to flash with last miflash tool, but after 2sec is tell me that firmware upgrade is complete and now i can't start my smartphone. i can try to flash last rom fastboot 12.5.1 but without result. How i can resolve this problem? thanks in advance
When trying to do any major change like a downgrade, you must factory reset. MiFlash should have done that for you, but I guess there's a chance it didn't.
To do a factory reset from Fastboot you can use a compatible version of TWRP and just boot into it (not installing it).
Eg. fastboot boot TWRP_apollo_3.5.0_10-beta_1_whyle.img
From within TWRP you can then do a factory reset and see if it'll boot.
If it still boots into fastboot then you have the option of an alternative ROM. Xiaomi.eu provides a debloated version of the Chinese MIUI ROM. I'm running its latest 12.6 version and it has no problems with battery drain. https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/21-6-23.61942/

Thanks i can try any solution. i install trought cmd fastboot comand twrp image file and after try to reset it? help me if you have other solution to I was hoping there was a way to bring it back to a stock firmware or a recovery firmware. I tried to flash all.bat inside firmware 12.5.1 my last firmware, proceeded it's fine and complete but after install my phone reboot continuos after logo. as if it didn't have a firmware installed.
P.s. Explain to me the procedure to start twrp without installing it step by step. Thanks so much ^^
To use TWRP to factory reset, first find a compatible TWRP. I used the latest version from:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...r-mi-10t-mi-10t-pro-redmi-k30s-ultra.4187427/
which was TWRP_apollo_3.5.0_10-beta_1_whyle.img
Boot into download mode
Then type this exactly (or change to a different file name if you're using a different version of TWRP):
fastboot boot TWRP_apollo_3.5.0_10-beta_1_whyle.img
Once TWRP starts up, go into Advanced, Wipe.
Tick
- data
- cache
- dalvik (dalvik cache)
and select to wipe it.
Reboot system.
That should leave you with no account set up and enable you to boot and setup from scratch in most cases.

update Mi-flash. There's 2021 version.
Code:
fastboot reboot bootloader
disconnect USB cable and reconnect it again
flash again with Mi-flash, do not lock it.
Fastboot ROMs are more than 3GB.

hELLO PL1992, i have use now MiFlash20210226 version installed for 1sec and nothing is installed, the mobile is in fastboot but I can't figure out how to complete the flash of the fastboot rom. I am using the latest EEA fastboot rom for my device, I have tried several versions even earlier but nothing. he says he has completed the procedure but in 1 sec he does absolutely nothing. Do you have solution ideas to try? alternatives to miflash? I also tried to install by extracting the Fastboot rom from inside the rom with flash all.bat, the procedure always go well, but the phone keeps restarting after the MIUI logo every 2sec. I have windows 10 pro i don't know if it is the problem

Did you execute the code given to you before you flash it?
In Mi-flash, click Driver, then install.
After it's done, reboot your PC.
Then do the
Code:
fastboot reboot bootloader
command.
The flashing process should be more than 500 seconds if it's done correctly.
The fastboot ROM should be extracted, not using directly the tgz file.
Rename the extracted folder name short, like "1", and put in C:/ drive.

echo Missmatching image and device
It seems the ROM and your device is not matching, so it don't flash.
First confirm what your phone model is. The model should be written on the box came with the phone.
Install this program:
XiaomiADBFastbootTools (Java)
https://github.com/Szaki/XiaomiADBFastbootTools
It will need java SE, follow the FAQ guide in that github to use the program.
It should show you what phone you have.

Hello community, first of all I clarify that I am using the google translator.
As the title says, my poco f3 has a hard brick, I was trying to flash the miui global rom via fastboot(stock rom was global miui for turkey) but an error occurred in the process (the same as attached in the image), at that moment I got scared because the phone did not start the system.
The bootloader was obviously unlocked, I tried to recover with XiaoMitool but nothing, I couldn't flash super.img either in Xiaomiflash, then I decided to download its stock rom and redo the process but it failed.
Before all this I had tried to install TWRP or OrangeFox but none could be installed, I only got to the TWRP boot but the option to flash the current TWRP did not appear and it did not recognize the internal memory and the OTG with the zip. Right now it only shows the POCO logo and goes directly to fastboot mode.
I'd appreciate your help.
Edit: It does not have the recovery stock

try booting twrp via fastboot and then format data.
Obviously you'll lose your data, but it might give you access to your phone back.
Good morning.
Try to enter with quiet fastboot mode, both in twrp and orange fox, it's the same process. Put the phone in fastboot mode and then open minimal adb.
1. Put the fastboot devices command, the serial number of your mobile should appear on the command screen.
2. Put the command fastboot boot orangefox.img or twrp.img, take a good look at the file you have downloaded, to make the boot easy, it has to be an .img image and not a zip file.
3. If you can get into both fastboot and orangefox, please format the data.
4. Try to flash the miui stock rom with the same process where the error appeared, remember that this rom (it worked for me) has to be the rom for the poco f3 fastboot, since there are 2 versions (I think I have seen this) one which is fastboot and another which is not.
LUCK!

Hello, i had already tried to boot with twrp.img but without success, the good news is that I have already recovered it and the solution was as simple as taking the flash_all.bat from the rom and it could already be in any version of miui.
What I don't understand is why it hadn't worked with XiaoMitool and Xiaomiflash, and I still can't install TWRP because it doesn't recognize internal memory and OTG.
Anyway thanks for your help.

Glad you got it sorted, When installing a MIUI stock rom remember to put the Firm wear folder on your C: Drive and remove any spaces from title,
As for TWRP & Orangefox recoverry, i installed these in fast boot mode and use "Temporary Recovery" by downloading RUN_TWRP-Orange Fox FIXED.bat /unzipping/ and running the "RUN_TWRP-Orange Fox FIXED.bat File, once in temporary OF Recovery you can choose to make OF Recovery permanent by installing current version of OF from within OF, Check my post on the EVO-X Thread post 20,
you will also find my post regarding OTG issues,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
OTG is no longer Now working with Orangefox recovery.
To overcome the OTG showing 0MB or .., remove the OTG adaptor,
reboot into OF Recovery, re-connect your OTG adaptor and
tap ☰ in the bottom right of the main screen to open the MENU,
open Mount, tap USB-STORAGE (wait 5 seconds) the (USB-STORAGE background will turn black), shortly after the check box will enabled, many thanks to Rafsf for the Workaround.
