[BRICKED] Stuck in android 8.1 bootloop

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 I can enter recovery and I have already tried this, but I always end up with the error:

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,
i tried to install this twrp but it doesnt work...

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM
everything you said is completely simillar to mine. Can someone help us? Or did you already fix it? Please help me i need my phone working.

I have same problem fastboot flash but after that, it started to reboot automatically. The phone was automatically turning off and on. I again did a "clean all and lock" via miflash tool but still now, no result!
I can boot into recovery without having any problem. But when I boo to setup country date....etc, it starts its auto rebooting process,
Any help ?

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 !

What you are trying to do? Just switch from Chinese to Global? or your device is bricked now?
What did happen after that you flashed the Chinese recovery ROM?
What modes do you have available?
Did you unlock bootloader previously?

Fastboot flashing commands won't work if you have bootloader locked.
Did you unlock bootloader previously and probably get locked again?
Did you enable all the proper options on Developer section, i.e. USB debugging and check if device is recogniced on adb commands?
What do you get with "fastboot getvar all"?

And you said you enabled USB debuging?!? you didn't. First enable it under development tools.
MAKE SURE YOUR USING RIGHT ADB/FASTBOOT TOOLS AND DRIVERS.
After 'adb reboot bootloader' use 'fastboot devices'. You can change usb cable and if you still get errors try using usb hub.
If all above fails than try it on WIN7 PC.

I think you are not properly booted to the proper state while you're trying certain commands. Just to be clear; adb works while your device is power on and fastboot commands will work only while your device is in fastboot mode not while on adb mode. A way to be sure that you are doing properly is enabling USB debugging first but while connected device with PC, a prompt will appear from device screen and then tap on "always allow", then you have to type "adb devices" and follow step by step, if device is recognized you can go to the next step with "adb reboot bootloader" then in fastboot you have to see the bunny otherwise is not properly in fastboot mode, then you can follow with "fastboot devices" and so on, keep in mind that any command will work until device is properly recognized.

Just trying to determine what your words exactly mean when you say "after in fastboot mode it doesn't boot in adb mode." ... without entering in more technical insights adb works when device is on, no sense to boot to fastboot to try to boot to adb after that (?)
If you can boot to fastboot what you have to try firstly is unlock bootloader or be sure that is already unlocked using
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
if your device is or get unlocked then you can try to flash or just boot to a custom recovery but if you can't determine until now if your device is really unlocked then you couldn't go further.
The hardware method to enter to fastboot is from a device off; pressing both pwr and vol down buttons but if the bunny is not displayed probably you didn't really get fastboot mode.

Do yo use WIN10? Find PC with Win7... and install adb/fastboot app and drivers. Than try..
Is your system working now?
Just unlock your bootloader and install OrangeFox recovery than you can flash whatever you need.
Problem solved.

TWRP can't bypass encryption, when you have no access to read data (0mb) then you have to format it, to avoid that is always recommended use OrangeFox, just for future reference, if you understand that you can flash OrangeFox through TWRP for better experience.
Also you can use this tool to help you to automate some stuff https://github.com/Szaki/XiaomiADBFastbootTools

Question Stock Moto G30 stuck at bootscreen after reboot / How to rescue data

Hi dear community,
I have a new Moto G30 which is now does not boot and keeps getting stuck at bootscreen where the logo is, even after trying to boot for hours. This happened after a reboot where nothing special happened before. I have not installed any custom ROM, and have no idea why this is happening. There is no SD card in it, battery can not be taken out. I tried booting from stock recovery in all possible ways, nothing worked. Tried leaving it shut off for half a day.
Support say the only option is factory reset. However I need to get the data to my laptop before resetting. Is there a way to use Rescue and Smart Assistant for this? I can not boot the phone and can only boot in recovery. Or could I install TWRP or something via ADB sideload would allow me to then use ADB pull or something to get the photos, but TWRP is not yet available for G30?
Thank you!

Is the Bootloader unlocked?

Use LMSA Rescue to download firmware.
You will see a screen that has the device's current firmware, and the firmware LMSA will download.
Make sure they are the same, you can post a screenshot of that if you are not sure.
Then use fastboot.exe to flash this
Code:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
then reboot the device.

Hi Just wanted to update: I still need to set up the USB redirect of the fastboot device to the Windows virtual machine. So may take a bit longer for me to get to it.

Question Help I made a mistake and updated something in the development settingsAnd the recovery does not workLE 2120

On the screen I get: your device is corrupted and cannot be trusted and cannot reboot

Simply disable Developer options and the any settings you altered there will revert to baseline.
If that doesn't get it then it's not Developer options...

It is good? Should I keep waiting? (I don't know really what to do, I am new at this. I don't know even if the device got the commend from the pc)

We can't really help you until you confirm what you did to get it in this state in the first place?
Did you install the OxygenOS 12 Developer Preview?
Did you try rooting by replacing the stock boot.img?
Please confirm what caused this in the first place as changing something in the developer settings alone would not cause this.

OK, If you used DSU to try out the Android 12 Developer Preview your bootloader needs to be unlocked, try running :
fastboot oem unlock
Bear in mind it will wipe the phone though, then reboot back into the Android 11 rom, set it up and THEN try DSU.
You need to have previously allowed bootloader unlocking in your developer options (see below)

If you're stuck on bootloader only you can try running these commands in fastboot :
fastboot -w
fastboot --set-active=a
fastboot reboot
If the phone does not boot properly then try these :
fastboot -w
fastboot --set-active=b
fastboot reboot
"fastboot -w" wipes your userdata. The "fastboot --set-active" command tells the phone which A/B slot you want to use, "fastboot reboot" is the command to restart the phone.
If you just keep getting sent back to fastboot and it won't boot then you're likely going to have to use the MSM tool to restore the phone to factory settings.

Really really thank you
I have tried all 4 commands (-w, --setactive=a/b and reboot)
all of them after I turn off and back on my phone show me the bootloader
can you send me a link to how I use the MSM tool to restore the phone to factory settings?

You have a LE2120 so there is no msm package publicly available yet.
In the screenshots, it shows that your fastboot drivers are not installed. Did you fix that first? The command take less than a second to run.

You can download and take the flashall.bat from this conversion guide and download your version of oneplus9pro rom to your pc then use payload dumper to extract all images, then place the flashall.bat in the same folder as all your files you dumped then plug ur phone in(while it is on bootloader screen) and double click the flashall.bat

This is the link to the op's zip(he created for the thread for converting tmobile variants to EU). . Click the link and download the zip, put it on your pc, then u have to extract all files. The flashall.bat is one off the files in that zip.. Then Google search the Chinese version of tue latest op9pro OS11.. Get it on your pc. U have to use payload dumper(which you will need to search android get on ur pc, extracted as well). Then once u get payload dumper ready, and ur rom, take them payload.bin from ur rom folder and put it in the payload input folder. Then double click the payload.bin and it will slowly extract all your files and put them into the payload output folder. Once it's done take the flashall.bat and put it in there. Then ur ready to plug ur phone in(in bootloader mode) and double click the flashall.bat

And honestly, you could prob just download the zip I mentioned, the first one just to get the flashall.bat, and just extract it, plug ur phone in(in bootloader mode) and click the flashall.bat. It would put the EU version of OS on your phone. Use cld then use the loavl update in system settings to switch to ur variant after. Much easier.

Recovering data on a DEAD Redmi Note 8 PRO

Hello,
I hope this is the right section for this post.
I've been using a Note 8 Pro with zero issues until one week ago when I accidentally dropped the phone in the water.
After a few seconds submerged the display turned off and I felt an intense heat coming from the zone of the battery.
Having no chance to recover the phone (tried with Isopropyl Alcohol too) I decided to open it and manually dry/clean each component, having seen the situation inside gave me the phone is dead but I still want to recover some pictures/data from it.
Before opening the open Minitool was not detecting any device on my Windows Laptop, after cleaning each component Minitool is instead detecting the phone via USB, but I still can't extract any data because the "Usb debugging" option is not tuned on (and no the device is not rooted).
Is there any option to extract data from the phone? There's a way to turn on USB Debugging via ADB on a non-rooted phone?
Thanks,
Andrea.

how about trying your luck with a service ? most of the time they do have access to special programs, which have a better functionality than adb.

Thanks for the hint, but I am not happy with the idea of someone playing with my data

1. Try reboot phone to recovery
2. Connect it to your computer (download Platform-tools)
3. In the folder with Platform-tools open cmd
4. In cmd - adb shell
5. cd storage/emulated/0
6. ls
7. Now, using the commands, drag files from your phone to your PC

Thanks for your hint.
No luck so far, I think because the phone is not in recovery mode.
I can hear the phone starting up several times (hear the jingle) so I think it's in a reboot loop and I don't know how to boot it into recovery mode wo a working display (tried with power/volume up combination with no luck).
From the windows taskbar I can see that the phone is recognized for a few seconds before it restarts.
EDIT: trying to switch the phone on with the combination "power/volume down" brings to a kind of stable state and I can now see the phone in the windows taskbar recognized as a generic "android device". Still no luck when trying to access the phone as there's no device in windows and no device obtained through "adb devices" command.
EDIT1: I think that the phone is in "FASTBOOT" mode. If I type "fastboot devices" I can see it detected but still can't access it.

Any idea? Should I give up?

If it's popping up and down you need something to keep track.
You can try my UsbLog.exe (in the sig), it just sits there and shows what devices appear (if they have a driver) and disappear.
Try these to see if anything is working:
Code:
C:\>fastboot devices
C:\>fastboot getvar all
C:\>fastboot oem device-info

Yes it's popping up and down when it's booted in recovery mode whilst is stably connected when in fastboot mode but in this case I can't access the internal memory of the device.
I didn't get the purpose of logging the devices connecting to the USB as I can see the device connected for a while and correctly recognized as Redmi Note 8 pro but as it keeps popping out windows have no time to show it's folder.
As for the code you wrote: i will try asap but already tried with "fastboot devices" and I get the phone correctly listed but still can't access its memory as told.

After rebooting the phone in fastboot mode I can see it recognized as a generic android device from windows (still can't access the storage folder of the device).
fastboot devices----> I get the device listed with a series of numbers/letters
fastboot getvar all---> I get a list of information on token/token version/partition type and size/baseband/bootloader etc.
fastboot oem device-info----> FAILED (remote: unknown command)
So I think it's clear that the device is in Fastboot mode and instead is in a boot loop when started in revocery mode.
Is there a way to extract data from fastboot mode?
Thanks,
Andrea.

If you put a custom recovery on it in the first place you can try reflashing recovery from fastboot.
Fastboot doesn't allow you to read anything.
oem device-info is obviously an oem command that might not be on any device.
You've got a Mediatek processor. That has some low level equivalent to Qualcomm EDL, but I have no experience with that.
If you can get there you can download the user data partition, but it's probably encrypted. Also no experience with that.
The easiest is if you can get the system to mount/decrypt the partition.
You've tried the normal system too?
Is this A/B? Have you tried changing slots?
How much time does it stay up in recovery? Do you have ADB? Maybe try:
Code:
# stop recovery
Does that prevent it from looping?

So I should try to flash a custom recovery like TWRP for example?
What you mean with "normal system too"?
Changing slots you mean changing usb port?
It stays in recovery less than one second so I can't give any command via ADB.
EDIT: cant' flash any custom recovery because the bootloader is locked.
If I Try to unlock the bootloader via MiUnlock I get a warning saying that all data will be erased.
Any idea on how to unlock the bootloader wo wiping all the data?

My bootloader is unlocked!
Thank you very much.
Now I am going to try to flash a custom recovery mode via fastboot in order to access the internal memory of the phone.
EDIT: I've just flashed twrp-3.6.2_9-0-begonia.img but still can't boot into recovery mode.
Any hint on how to extract data from the system now?

You really want to boot the normal system because that's the best way to get decrypted data.
I realized that you don't have ADB enabled there.
You should look at B. Kerler's https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient/
If you can pull the boot image off your device then I might be able to fix it so that you have ADB.
You'd have to flash it back in fastboot or mtkclient.
You can also pull a copy of userdata off the device with mtkclient.
As far as booting into recovery, there's a way.
Here's how, if you don't have A/B (that is you flashed TWRP into recovery and not recovery_a or recovery_b)
then you can fastboot flash a special file into the misc partition and it wil boot into recovery next reboot.
To return things to normal you have to flash the empty file to the misc partition.
Code:
C:\>fastboot flash misc misc-rec.img
C:\>fastboot reboot
Only do this if you don't have partitions that end in _a or _b

I really don't know if I have partitions A and B as you mentioned and I think there's no way to check actually.
I confirm I don't have "USB Debugging" active on the phone.
So if I understand correctly I should do the following:
- Flash misc-reg.img via Fastboot
- Boot into recovery just rebooting the system after flashing the above file;
- use MTKclient to dump userdata or boot image to enable ADB on (I will need help with mtkclient I suppose).
Is it correct?
EDIT: flashed TWRP first and misc-rec then rebooted via Fastboot/Reboot but nothing happens.

TWRP cant boot because you used wrong one. Search again in that unlock bootloader channel and use suitable one.

Hmmm, I am almost sure that the TWRP I've flashed was listed under Redmi Note 8 pro page. Can you please indicate more precisely where should I sera
EDIT: I think I've downloaded and flashed the correct TWRP file.
@Renate can you please detail your method so I can try to extract data from the phone?

1/Yeah it's official. You "flashed correct TWRP." Downgrade to Miui Android 9 (_9 in it's name) to boot into that TWRP and lose your data.
2/In unlock bootloader video above, search other video in his channel playlist and find TWRP video suitable for your Miui version.

Can't find the right video, can you kindly send me a link (I am on the latest Miui version and I am in Europe)?
In all the videos I've seen on his page he is using the device to install TWRP etc.
I think I just need the correct TWRP version for my MIUI release and then I'll flash TWRP and misc-reg.img. Is it right?
