No OS Installed accidentally wipe system of xiaomi mi a2 lite - Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers

Hello Good day everyone, please help this idiot who just bricked his phone for no reason at all:crying:
I accidentally wipe my system or should i say im just flat out an idiot for wiping everything without any backup. i have installed twrp and i unlock the bootloader already because i wanted to install miui in my mi a2 lite phone but ended up wiping everything and now im stuck in twrp mode. i still can do fastboot and open my phone in twrp mode but thats all NO OS. How can i save my phone back to normal. please help me. THANK YOU ALL!!!

If you can get to fastboot, use the stock rom flash script. See the stock rom thread in the guides forum.
If you've got windows, miflash may be easier to use. I think it takes the same stock rom file.

Just make sure you download a fastboot rom which has all partitions.
When I wanted to remove all traces of root from my phone last week, i noticed that many of the more recent images only have /system or just a few partitions.
I ended up installing one of the earliest Pie images (V10.0.2.0.PDLMIFJ if i recall correctly) and then doing all the OTA's until I was at V11.0.9.0.QDLMIXM or something.

Fix

It happened to me like a week ago and i was able to fix it just yesterday. cuz i am new at this root stuff. But i was able to do it at th e end. You need to install stock rom, miflash. Also download flashable stock rom. Because i installed like 5 stock roms. But they were not flashable so it did not work. Extract the stock rom that you downloaded. Then open miflash. Now go into fastboot mode and plug your phone to your pc. Now locate the folder where flashable files are and then click flash. It should say Success. If not that means it did not work.But it should work so yeah. That is it.

guys my phone boots into fastboot only, no twrp no recovery, any way to fix it?

Hi
Can anyone help with this ?
I am stuck on a Linux logo on my screen
I am unable to go into recovery or Bootloader mode
However if I Fastboot, it recognize the device
I tried flashing the recovery image and It Flashed successfully; Yet I cannot boot into Recovery
I tried Flashing the the Bootloader and the same
Funny thing is all Fastboot commands seem to work, like rebooting the Bootloader, but it goes straight to the Linux logo
see picture attached
Thank you.

Did you erase the system? If not try to flash for fastboot just boot.img, maybe help you, if don't reboot flash the entire rom image
I was testing volte.zip. I already tried flashing the boot file, still nothing. I tried flashing miui global fastboot with miflash still no luck. It sees the device but flashed for 5s and then said successful.
did u check "clean all" and try edl mode (just a reminder,it happened to me many times,i was impatient/panicked forgot to check "clean all")

I have never seen this linux logo before on Mi Max and I can assure you I am on top of everything happening around it...
I think you did something hmmm... excuse me but stupid... That volte.zip is for kenzo and it flashes all partitions that you are not supposed to flash with anything but hydrogen specific images... Your only option is EDL mode flashing and I am not even sure if it is going to work.
Good luck...

Install MiFlash from Xiaomi, download fastboot image and unpack it.

Boot to EDL mode with hard keys method, screen stays black, but Qualcomm QH USB device shows up in Device Manager/Ports. MiFlash fastboot image.
If you have 8 or newer Windows, you have to boot it driver signature verification disabled before MiFlash install:

What did you do to understand, maybe wrong firmware, maybe just a problem of modem partition, if you are using DualBootPatcher try with a CM based rom like primary, other possibility is to flash just NON-HLOS.bin of corrrect rom in fastboot mode, maybe wrong file in Update Firmware folder (in zip rom), go with a file explorer to /data/nvram if it`s generated for the new rom, take a backup first and delete after, reboot device (if this is the case) and check again your sim.

Thank you though, I was able to resolved it by flashing the EFS backup that I had.
Problem SOLVED !!!
Thanks again for your Help.
I got a bricking when I tried flashing MIUI EU ROM over CM on a locked bootloader. Is there a way to flash the latest firmware files without also flashing a new boot image which could brick the phone? I had to do an EDL flash using MiFlash last time, I don't want to go through the hassle again.

If you want to flash it in recovery/twrp choose recovery one. If you want to flash it via fastboot from pc choose fastboot. It's obvious. Both will lock your bootloader after flash but they will boot normally.

3) or i need to wait 15 days and unlock my device again??
man lot of questions
4) my mi account has unlock permission so do i need to permission again because right now i am using custom rom to keep my phone alive.:crying:
these questions will raise to all if they did the same mistake some more questions but lets see these first
also thanks man you are wonderful helper
If you unlocked your BL once on this device there will be no waiting counter. It will unlock right away. Unless you unlocked it couple days ago. There is a limitation for one account to unlock one device in month. So you will be have to wait till one month pass or unlock with redmi 6pro toolkit like I did. It skipped this limitation somehow. Anyways did you wiped data before or after flashing custom rom? What rom have you flashed? Is it booting is it usable? If not. Try wiping data in advance wipe in twrp first to solve booting problems.

it doesn't boot says boots on logo and then shows the boot animation waits for 5 min and boots twrp again automatically why???(when i try to restore the crdroid rom not to mentioned i tried flashing resurrection os but goes on boot loop )
When flashing custom ROM different from miui you should wipe dalvick, cache, data and system before flash. Then flash RR or something else gapps and boot.
Here's the toolkit If you need it

Question [SOLVED] POCO F3 stuck in bootloop, can I flash without losing data?

Hi! 2 days ago I just installed two updates (MIUI 12.5 or something, then MIUI 13 with Android 12) on my rooted POCO F3, I unrooted with magisk before every update, then when it requested to reboot, I installed back magisk. The updates were installed succesfuly and the phone was working properly until it shut down because of no battery. When I tried to turn it on the phone took like 5 minutes to get to the MIUI screen and then restarted directly in Recovery Mode. What can I do about it?
Also, can I flash it without losing data, I have photos and documents that I didn't back up?
Or can I just recover something from it?

I have no idea... Try flashing stock boot image.
Download fastboot rom , unzip it. Open images folder and find boot.img
Fastboot flash boot_ab boot.img
If that doesn't work either try skkk twrp

I suggest flash original boot.img if you wanna try restoring phone... This only removes magisk. Tho if you have pc and you're gonna be downloading fastboot rom anyways might as well do a clean flash instead - flash_all.bat file
Especially since you used skkk twrp... It's sources don't exist , so run the files you pulled from it through antivirus of some sorts and flash phone with stock rom
How did it happen anyways? You deleted magisk via app, then flashed it via PC before phone booted from OTA?
you can flash latest rom from xiaomi using the mi flash tool without losing user data

I will try to do that. Is the command fastboot flash boot_ab boot.img?
So i searched for a fast method to upgrade my phone without losing root on youtube because I already didn't upgrade it from when I bought it. I did exactly what he did in the video twice, because I had 2 updates, this is the vid
After I did all of that, everything went well only for one day until my phone shut down because of programmed shut down and startup (I chose it for battery saving lol), yeah it shut down at 12am when I was awake, I tried starting it again when I found myself in a bootloop. And this is how it got stuck in a bootloop.
You need to do a data format..

Bricked

Hey. I wanted to install a new ROM on my phone, but I found out I couldn't install a recovery. I made the mistake of wiping all of the partitions and now I can't do anything. Fastboot is my only option, since I literally don't have a recovery. Is it hard bricked?
I wonder if you could just fix this way like in

It´s just soft bricked, try and flash a .img file using:
fastboot flash recovery <recoveryname.img>
If it doesn't work, use mi tools and flash full ROM from official xiaomi site

[LineageOS 19.1] Reboots to fastboot despite successful install

Hey
couldn't find anything related to my situation so I decided to ask. Here it goes:
After having to wait an entire week to unlock the bootloader (really??) its finally unlocked and I decided to install LineageOS.
Got a Mi10T Lite, gauguin, M2007J17G. It managed to snuck in an update to something like August 2020 security level at some point but after unlocking it got reset, so I suppose it had Android 10 and MIUI 12(?).
Simple enough, have done that countless times before.
- Flashed recovery, format data/factory reset as explained in wiki
- adb sideloaded ROM (nightly builds 20220822 and 20220815) - both succeeded
After rebooting the devices enters the bootloader again.
The wiki never mentions behaviour like this and I couldn't find anything online.
Do I need to flash latest MIUI ROM again?
Any ideas what went wrong and how to solve this issue?
I unzipped the ROM and fastboot boot boot.img which just resulted in a reboot to fastboot again.
Any idea or, preferrably, a solution would be most welcome
Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have same issue. I installed lineage 19.1 2022-09-26 on Mi 10T lite, actually last nightly, and after succesfull installation, after reboot lineage doesnt start and i have just fastboot mode. I have lineage recovery installed, and if i try to install recovery-rom, i dont feel comfortable on installing fastboot-rom, i get error, just after 47% i get unknown signature and it ask if i want continue, if i choose yes continue, on device it says it cant downgrade so its stopped. I also deleted cache but it didnt help, im not very happy to format system partition, im worried to brick it. Should i format system partition? And how deal with missing signature when i try to push stock rom? should i allow it?
