Help - not booting into os! - Xiaomi Redmi 5A Questions & Answers

Hi.
I dont know where to start.
My redmi 5a had the last original software miui 11 based (android 8.1). Then I successfully unlocked the bootloader some days ago and somehow managed to install nitrogenOS (android 11 based).
Then I tried to flash another custom rom and everything went bad. I cant boot into any os anymore. I get stuck at the boot screen with the android logo and after some time it starts again and again...
I already tried to install a custom oreo recover firmware, which works, so I could start twrp again. But then every os I tried to install does not work. Fastboot works.
I am very confused now and dont know what to do next

Since you have bootloader already unlocked you can use Mi Flash (Xiaomi's own flash tool) to flash a stock ROM back to you device. This usually help, but of course, it will make you lose the custom ROM installed and the recovery.
Also, pay attention while flashing with this tool. There is an option at the bottom of the program that locks the bootloader again. If you don't want that you have to change this options every time you close the program.

OK, I started XiaomiTool V2 (on linux) and choose the option, that my device is bricked. I then have to choose my model (Redmi 5a riva) and start in fastboot. Now the tool starts to download and install the following rom to recover the smartphone:
riva_global_images_V11.0.2.0.OCKMIXM_20191106.0000.00_8.1_global_605da3d46d.tgz
But it does not work. The smartphone starts and I can see the start screen (powered by android). After some seconds there is a white screen with the words: just a sec. Then the smartphone starts again and it repeats again and again...

Nobody an idea?

This has happened to me before. From the name of the image that XiaomiTool download and installed I can assume it is an more recent ROM. (since it has 2019 and 8.1 Global in it)
Do not let XiaomiTool download and install a ROM. Download a older Stock ROM yourself and make XiaomiTool install the ROM that you have download.
As I said previously. Try to download the original Stock ROM that came with your phone when you bought. BEFORE ANY official updates from Xiaomi. This have worked for me.

Hi.
Thanks It works now. I have installed the stock rom.
Is there a guide to get from stock rom (nougat) to custom rom?

So firstly you need a recovery image (TWRP, PBRP, OF, Batik Recovery) to replace MIUI Recovery. flash it via fastboot with adb (you can do it right?).
After that reboot and push the button to recovery and remember make backup firstly or you can ignore it and yeah do it own your risk.
wipe or advanced wipe Cache, Data, System, Dalvik, Vendor.
and then install the CUSROM, and GApps.
and yeah only that to install CUSROM i know

Redmi 1s stuck into mi logo

My phone stuck at mi logo even the recovery can't be opened
I was using cynogen 12.1 and then i download its update after that it sticks at mi logo
Unable to open recovery
Thanks in advance help as soon as possible
Don't worry, if you can enter fastboot, you can fix it. Follow this guide http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=23234&page=1#pid459792 If you do everything right, stock miui5 or miui6 will be installed, depends what you choose. I recommend you to download v45 miui5, I have used that version few times. You will have to install custom recovery and root again if you want a custom rom later. If the Miflash program does not recognize your phone in fastboot mode, then download and install these drivers, I think it should work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-1s/general/tool-adb-drivers-redmi-1s-t2904411
You need not go back to stock miui. If you update the rom, the recovery should still be intake, unless you did something to it, which is quite unlikely unless you selected to flash it as well.
Make sure your phone is completely off. Remove battery and insert back. Pressing the vol - and power button should boot your phone into the recovery(if i rmb correctly). From there, reflash the first cm12.1, not the update which you download, and it should boot fine again. Preferably, go for a clean install, unless you have data which u haven't backup, then go for the first.
If you flash a recovery and if indeed your recovery is corrupted, just reflash using adb.
Flashing a rom should not cause any damage to your recovery as it doesn't touch your recovery files.

Recovery rebooting without flashing

Hi
While flashing CM13 on my redmi 1s, I did a clean install, meaning wiping everything, and then when I went to flash CM13, TWRP just reboots the moment I swipe to install. This happens with any .zip file.
I installed CWM using fastboot, and that gives me the same problem. The moment I try to flash/install anything using a recovery, that recovery reboots and doesn't flash anything. My device is now useless since it doesn't have an OS installed and no way of doing so..
From what I can tell the system partition is bad because when I boot into recovery it isnt mounted
When I take out the battery now it just goes straight to the fastboot screen. I can take it into recovery but it goes to fastboot by default
Please help
Hi dude,
i guess you have checked the integrity of your cm13 ROM file and (winrar>test archive) , your best bet would be flashing a fastbootrom and then come back to cm. Head over to miui and download latest fastboot rom applicable to you.
And its usual booting into fastboot when there is no OS installed atleast for our device so chill dont loose hopes..!

Flashing the fastboot rom doesn't work.. My recovery is broken too, because I can't flash anything.. In either MiRecovery 2.0.1, CWM or twrp.. When I flash the MIUI rom via fastboot it just boots into recovery..
EDIT, I just got it into MIUI but the 4.3 version from china, without Google, and I can't download google via the MI market. So i'm downloading an international version now and will try to flash using MiFlash.
Does anyone know how I can fix the recovery? It still won't flash anything and reboots the moment I try to.

[Help needed] Lost TWRP after flashing Xtended ROM.

I wiped the phone clean and tried to flash the new version of AEX But, it showed Error 7.
Tried looking for fix for Error 7 on internet, it didn't work for AEX5.6, 5.5, 5.4.
5.3 installs normally.
But felt like needed something new.
Went on the forums to find Xtended ROM. Flashed it.
After flashing it tried flashing Nano GAPPS.. Didn't work.
Tried to system reboot and thought I can later work it out.
ROM is all fine... But, later when I got to recovery mode.
(Problem begins)
I realised I lost TWRP.
And the recovery that's there wouldn't allow me to flash anything.
It looks more like CWM recovery but with less options.
It doesn't even have a advanced wipe!
Now I'm stuck with a non rooted phone, without Google bare minimum functionalities.
Am I alone? Help me out!

For aex issue did you flash factory2vendor zip before flashing rom?
You will have to install twrp image using PC. Like the first time you did when you were unlocking bootloader
Flash zui using qfil or miflash.
If bootloader is unlocked still. You can directly flash twrp.
If not first unlock your bootloader and then flash twrp.
For treble rom like aex5.5 you need to flash factory2vendor.zip and then flash twrp with treble support.
For info on flashing and link visit aex5.5 rom page.

Going back from a custom ROM to the official ROM

Hello there,
I am sure that my question has been answered numerous times but I can not find a thread which would help me or at least fits my problem.
I currently have LineageOS for MicroG installed (LOS 15.1, latest build). The device runs good so far, but I want to try out MIUI10 and go back to stock or use the xiaomi.eu ROM.
My problem is, if I try to flash the xiaomi.eu ROM in the TWRP (I have 3.2.3 installed), I get stuck in the boot logo (I waited about 30 minutes, so I am pretty sure that it will not boot).
So I thought, maybe I have to flash the official global first and then flash the .eu ROM in TWRP again. But I can not even flash the official global ROM via the Mi flash tool, because I get stuck at the boot screen again.
Flashtool displays only a succesful message, after this the device tries to reboot. Can somebody help me here? I tried it with the official fastboot ROM, downloaded directly from Xiaomi.
Thank you!
Edit: and of course I made a factory reset before I tried to flash something in TWRP.
Have you tried to format?
Just flash the ROM via Mi Flash Tool instead of TWRP, worked fine for me

stuck in bootloader/recovery, can't flash ROMs.

Hello,
i'm stuck in a particular situation: i can use fastboot and i can flash recoveries but none of them can succesfully flash a rom. i want to go back to the stock Realme UI, my device is RMX1993.
i tried to follow the guide (https://forum.xda-developers.com/realme-x2/how-to/to-stock-rom-howto-t4014773) but the last recovery (rmx1993-sde20-stock_recovery-c05) can't flash neither RMX1993EX_11_OTA_1040_all_tSZ3Sf5A77NS nor RMX1993EX_11_OTA_1050_all_loALrMDyMrbs.
tried to flash trough orangefox or the last twrp that support ozip decription but the result is a "succesful flash" but a phone that does not go over the boot screen and it reboot.
i succesfully installed color os trough the proper old stock recovery and it said the installation was succesfull, but the problem was the same.
someone know where could be the problem?
You need to successfully flash Android 10 (Realme UI 1.0) before you can flash custom Android 10 roms.
Have you tried this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/realme-x2/help/how-to-flash-q-firmware-based-roms-t4115987
As for why your colorOS back up is not working i'm not quite sure...have you wiped your cache before booting to the color os backup?
