Greetings everyone!
I'll try to resume my case:
I unlocked the bootloader like 3 weeks ago, installed the eu rom and everything was working fine. Today I decided to flash Arrow OS and the process finished succesfully, but I was having a lot of reboots, so I decided to go back to stock.
I entered fastboot mode, and after that, launched xiaomitools (latest version), selected the "my device is bricked, fastbood mode" and then it started to download the latest firmware and then it tried to flash it.
It flashed some img's but it got stuck when the program tried to flash the "super" img, I got an error message, I choose the "try again" option, and left the phone for like 20 minutes, nothing happened, the program got stuck trying to flash the super.img.
After that, I downloaded the latest MiFlash and tried to flash the stock firmware, but it won't finish, after 1,200 seconds, it shows a timeot and an error:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Does anyone know what can I do in order to flash the stock rom again? D=
My device is unlocked:
Thank you guys!
have you tried a USB 2.0 port? can be fussy about the ports...
also, which rom version are you flashing, do you have the exact title?
Not sure why it's timing out offhand (i am not overly experienced with xiaomi either), but super.img does take quite some time... but not 20mins, strange
Have you tried clicking 'driver' tab in miflash and installing necessary drivers?
I like the title of your thread, seems like you did some searching on the forum for answers before you decided to make the post!
I'm pretty sure the experts on this forum will be able to provide you with some assistance.
Too bad I'm not much help in terms of unbricking steps, I don't have any experience with it since I've haven't bricked a device before.
Good luck!

Thank you for your answers guys!
The exact version of the rom that im trying to flash is:
alioth_global_images_V12.0.3.0.RKHMIXM_20210416.0000.00_11.0_global_b716fd8a83
Also, I tried editing the flash_all.zip taking out the "crc" lines (2 lines) and after that I'm trying to flash the rom via cmd adb, so far it seems it's working, super just finished flashing and now the rest of the rom is also flashing.
I'll report back when it finishes!
Ok, the rom finished the flashing process:
The device rebooted, showed the initial logo and then it got into a bootloop.
After I don't know, 20 restarts from the bootloop, it entered in fastboot mode.
Meh, I don't know what to do anymore. D=
I don't know if this has something to do, but on the arrow os flashing instructions, you had to flash their boot and vendor images:
fastboot flash boot_ab boot_alioth.img
fastboot flash vendor_boot_ab vendor_boot_alioth.img
fastboot --set-active=a
I suposse that those images get replaced by the stock ones when you install the stock rom, am I right?
Also, when I restart the device, it goes directly into fastboot mode in like .5 seconds.
D=
If it fails for some reason.. could try what Dadovvv writes here

yes, they all get replaced by stock again. see my post above, Dadovvv recommends to run flash_all.bat directly without miflash if you're having issues. kinda forces the flash i guess. up to you though

Yup, that's what I did, i ran the flash all script in order to flash everything, but when it finishes, it reboots and bootloops for like 20 loops and then enters fastboot mode.
If I try to enter recovery, it also goes straight to fastboot mode.

atm i changed the usb port from 3.0 to 2.0 and tried by 2ble clicking the flash_all.bat, it's flashing the rom again.
I'll report back when it finishes.

hmm. a couple more possible solutions...
1. try this tool, it includes an older version of miflash under one of the tabs (no need to sign in, just close the mi account box that opens) and try flashing from there. scrap that, i thought that tool linked to it's own older version of miflash, but it doesn't... my bad
2. it could be as simple as a factory reset that's needed... could fastboot boot twrp, factory reset typing 'yes', power off the device and try booting to system once more...
(sorry!) and a quick question, before flashing arrowOS, did you come from stock 12.0.3 like you said above or did you have a later version of stock or xiaomiEU?
---- i'm wondering if miflash is thinking you're trying to downgrade and won't flash because of ARB. (although i would have thought you would get and error message before the flash started if this was the case... anyhow, can't see how it would hurt to try without the ARB checks. i would advise checking your ARB (anti rollback) status before, just to be on the safe side... see my post here
I'm go

I'm gonna try your 2nd solution, lets see if it works, ifthat doesnt works i'll try the miflash solution.
And I was on the 12.0.3 firmware before flashing the latest eu rom, after that I just installed the rom with their instructions (using their recovery, not TWRP) and aaaaaafter that, i tried to go back to stock and this hell started =(

ahh ok.... so yeah, try a factory reset in booted twrp. But, see my other post after regarding ARB. i suspect that's the issue. xiaomiEU is a later version than the stock you are trying to flash... you need to take out some lines in the flash_all.bat by changing the .bat to .txt
remove all lines near the top regarding ARB (but leave all fastboot lines intact), save, exit, change back to .bat and run it again in miflash

My ARB # is 1, the ARB # of 12.0.3 is 0 (lower than mine), so... just taking out the anti version lines from the .bat it will work?
Edit: I'm flashing the .bat without those lines, I'll report back.

well sorry to report i can't say for certain. i had that issue but ended up flashing stock 12.0.5 rom (still lower than the xiaomiEU version i had before. all went fine. So yeah, basically i haven't tried on 12.0.3. But... i think the arb = 1 on your device simply means arb is not activated yet. so i would assume any version is fine to flash, just by removing said lines from the bat file...
sorry, no promises though. do so at your own risk hopefully someone else in the 'know' will be able to chip in...
DONT DO IT
not sure sure this applies to your/our device but for poco f1
'Don't flash a ARB 0 firmware/ROM onto an ARB 1 device. Even though some people disagree, they cannot link to success stories. Likely, this concerns very old firmware.' taken from here
One moment, i'll link you to 12.0.5 fw that has arb=1 which i've rolled back to myself...

OMG, it worked!
I removed the anti rollback comments and the crc check ones from the flash_all.bat, flashed the firmware via miflash and miflash showed an error:
But miui started booting on the phone! =D
THAAAAAAAAAANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
To flash the latest stable release (it was released today AFAIK, miui_ALIOTHGlobal_V12.5.1.0.RKHMIXM_e9845255d6_11.0) can I just flash it via TWRP, right?
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

well thank FcK for that!!! so you flashed the 12.0.3 rom right?
and yeah... for 12.5.1 stable (at least what i did is...) fastboot boot twrp. copy twrp.img over to phone, go to advanced and select 'install to ramdisk' then flash your twrp.img. Reboot twrp, copy over rom and flash, factory reset after and boot (going from memory, but pretty sure that's it. back on arrowOS right now, so can't verify)
BTW, after flashing with miflash - it seems to always give that error at the end. i just assumed it's because the 'lock' cmd wasn't run/requested. maybe it's a bug, who knows!!

Yeah, I flashed 12.0.3 taking out those lines (the anti rollback ones and the crc check ones), miflash gave me an error at the end, but it worked lol
I think i'm gonna stick with the latest stable firmware for a while. I really wanted to try Arrow OS, but as I said earlier, after flashing it it gave me a lot of crashes/reboots, do you know by any chance why that happened?
Thanks again man!!! I learned something new today thanks to you! =D

Hello!
Today I finally received permission to unlock my bootloader, after waiting a long 15 days (360 hours). After solving some MiFlash Unlock issues, I finally unlocked my phone. I flashed TWRP and Magisk, and then afterwards I flashed Xiaomi.eu's stable whyred ROM, which worked (including camera sensors), but was terribly slow and clearly very unoptimized. For this reason, I decided to flash the leaked official Global ROM, 9.5.6 from Xiaomi. All was well, and I was presented with the initial set-up screen. After selecting my language (English [United Kingdom]), I was forced to select China as my region on the next page. Seconds after selecting it, my phone reboot and opened the system again, only to reboot within seconds. This process would probably repeat endlessly if I didn't have it in fastboot mode. I can still access TWRP recovery, and my phone still shows that it's unlocked on the boot screen. I've tried doing another clean wipe, and then installation of the global ROM with no success (same error occurs, even when I tried English (United States)).
I've tried to use the MiFlash tool (2017.4.25) but my device isn't detected when I click Refresh, and the fastboot mode displays "press any key to shutdown...". I've tried many different drivers as I thought it was a driver issue, but now I'm not sure.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
Flash with fastboot rom. Follow my thread

I tried that, same issue. Also tried with the new 9.5.11 global rom update.
FIrst Flash MIUI Nougat Rom
http://bigota.d.miui.com/V9.2.7.0.NEIMIEK/miui_WHYREDGlobal_V9.2.7.0.NEIMIEK_b6ab1f7b5b_7.1.zip
after flashing this Rom and setup complete then flash the leaked official Global ROM, 9.5.6. Otherwise you won't be able to pass the setup screen in latest Oreo Rom.

This one? Fastboot ROM will probably fix that as the bootloop is caused by a conflict with the remaining partitions from the last rom.
Flashing with MIFLASH Tool and selecting CLEAN ALL will clear that issue. Check Troubleshooting at end of the tutorial, it's already answered there. My first tutorial was to downgrade to nougat but that is not needed anymore as the fastboot rom for 9.5.6 is already available.

Ah thank you, I was flashing through recovery. With that being said, MiFlash doesn't detect my phone in fastboot, even if I can normally flash to it through fastboot if I were to open a terminal. Clicking "Refresh" in MiFlash Tool just disables fastboot. I realize its unrelated to your own tutorial, as its probably some fault on my computer. Thanks for your replies!
I have problem with my a2 lite. Device sesnors like accelerometar, light sensor, proximity, screen rotate sensor etc. is not working after failed flash of android 10. I flashed stock rom through xiaomi flash tool but im thinking that partition may be corupted so i need to revert it back to stock. What do you guys think? Now im running latest october update and bootloder is unlocked. Plz help.

You can try flashing stock firmware in edl mode (fastboot OEM edl command via cmd on PC and you phone connected in fastboot mode) with MiFlash , if this doesn't help , pm me

the method is simple , when you type the comand "fastboot OEM edl " in cmd.exe , that you have to open in your fastboot folder , your phone will turn the screen of like the phone is turned off , but actually it will be in edl mode , flash the stock firmware the same way you have flashed when your phone was in fastboot mode.
If you flashed Android 10 GSI version , you can try flash this zip via TWRP recovery, then flash stock firmware via miflash
Here is the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10o7WXe9YB31mvZBVVJtpINYQqpx4CH8D/view?usp=drivesdk
But I strongly recommend you to flash the stock firmware in EDL , there are many YouTube tutorials , and it's very simple , good luck!

i explained everything in original post. I tried to flash android 10, but something went wrong and device didnt boot up, so i did return to android 9 stock with xiaomi flash tool, and everything was working except device sensors. So i did again with EDL mode but didnt help. I choosed clean flash both times with regular fastboot before, and after with edl mode

Giving good information will help you to other members can help you too.
In OP is only explained what did you do to get this state but not any of the questions I did make before.
Why is important which version did you have before and which version did you "try" to flash after? It´s probably that trying to downgrading the issue won´t be solved. The firmware/rom version is for example v10.0.9.0 and not simply Pie.
The screenie doesn´t reflect any action but that was detected in EDL, it´s and advance but it would be the end a success?
Anyway try these steps:
- Go to stock recovery and formatdata/factory reset.
- Then In fastboot mode delete both modem partitions with
Code:
fastboot erase modem_a
and
Code:
fastboot erase modem_b
- Finally go to EDL and flash a newer rom version.
- Reboot and if needed apply the next OTA update eg. if you flashed through EDL v10.0.13.0 then apply the v10.0.14.0 (OTA package)

Your issues remain as described in OP?
Did you use EDL mode (not fastboot ) to flash the whole rom?
And also did you use Clean All (not save userdata) in MiFlash tool?
And which rom did you try of Android 10 firstly that caused this damage?

Yes i used EDL mode to falsh rom, and yes i pressed clean all.
Firstly i installed twrp, then i tried to instal android 10 pixel experience rom, but then i was stucked in bootlop, then i cleaned the storage from the rom and tried to install another version of android 10 which is GSI. But then also everything went wrong and my phone said "Your sistem is destroyed, press power button to shutdown" or something like that and that is it something went teribly wrong and i dont know what else i can do to fix this, it is very strange that everything works except sensors. I dont know what could be releated to this problem.

It seems that the GSI that you used before is the culprit.
Some things you can try:
- Try other firmware versions, probably a downgrade like v10.0.3.0
- Try to erasing first in fastboot as many as partitions you can in both slot before to flash through MiFlash tool. I know that MiFlash tool overwite them but just to be sure.
- Probably you might try flashing with other tool like QPST or other qualcomm flasher tool, I´m not sure which actually works for our device.
- If you resized some partitions to flash a GSI you have to restore them to the exact size that was before.
I was watching youtube tutorial from iboy editz and something i probably did wrong, but it doesnt matter anymore because i can lieve with this isuse it just iritating and always deleting everything from the phone and instaling again takes to much of my time, but anyways thank you for help
Hey all,
Question: Can anyone offer any help recovering my data partition?
Problem: system and recovery partitions wont boot.
Why: I failed to fix a boot loop problem I was having. I tried to restore my system and recovery partition that I had backed up through TWRP. The restore failed and now I cannot boot into recovery mode (let alone system).
What I've Tried:
1. booting into a TWRP (booting TWRP image via fastboot off my desktop PC). FAILED
downloading boot.img completes ok.
I get an error when it tries to boot the image: "FAILED (remote: Error calling AvbLoadAndVerifyBootImages Load Error)"
my guess is my recovery partition system is broken.
Thoughts:
Can I flash my bootloader and recovery partitions from a stock ROM without interfering with my data?
can i do a partial flash (not a flashall.bat)? How?
I am not super familair with doing a partial flash. I have only ever ran flashall.bat on Google's stock ROMs.
Question: Does anyone have any ideas?
If you can help me out, I would love to buy you a 6 pack of beer!
I am recreating this thread in its proper place.

Yes, fastboot detects the device. It lists my Pixel 3 XL a fastboot device and the Pixel 3 XL properly executes commands like fastboot reboot bootloader.

I also tested the connection and I was also able to fastboot a TWRP.img (sailfish version--Pixel 1) for my Pixel 1 just now. So everything looks good on my desktop end. However, when I boot a TWRP.img (crosshatch version--Pixel 3) on the Pixel 3, the boot fails and gives the error i posted above.
I also tried three different TWRP.img revisions (including the oldest and newest revisions for the Pixel 3XL). None of the twrp.img images will load.
Here is the fastboot command and error.

I also have the latest platform-tools installed.
I was able to flash the bootloader for latest Pixel 3 XL build for Android 9 (the version I had installed). However, I still cant boot into the TWRP image.

I used this script when I ran into a similar issue before, you can use it to flash TWRP or sovle your bootloop.
@XDHx86
Thanks for the tip.
I will definitely bookmark this and give it a try if I run into a bootloop issue. I am not sure what was wrong but I ended up doing a falsh-all.bat. the worst part about modding your phone is that when it goes out, you really needed to get fixed asap
This might or might not have worked, i'm not sure. I thought it was also weird that the yellow triangle with the exclamation mark on the fastboot screen was red. I've never seen it change colors. Not exactly sure what that means.

"This might or might not have worked". As in "I already got my device to the point of no return"?
If your device is bricked, there is no way to unbrick it that I'm aware of. As you can't find firehose files for google devices. So you can't boot to EDL mode.
Your options are to boot to bootloader and flash stock ROM, you can also use the script to flash TWRP and see if ti works.
Needless to say, flashing a ROM means loosing all your data.

oh, no. As in, your suggestion might have worked but I didn't get to try it because I really needed to have my phone working for work. I didn't get to try your suggestion because in my haste I opted to just flash-all.bat and forefit the opportunity to recover my data.
After trying to flash several partitions separately and failing, including just the bootloader--and later just the recovery partition--, I kept getting the same error I wrote about above.
So you still get this error?? Even though you used the script, you still get the error?
Are you sure you have latest adb tools and device driver?
What about setting active partition first?
Try fastboot set_active a
Then fastboot boot twrp.img
As I said, I never ran the script because I ran Google's flash-all.bat (factory image) before seeing your post.
I don't know if it would have worked. I wish I didn't need my phone to work so badly so that I could have waited a little bit longer.

I can confirm I had the latest ADB setup.
I did not try your fastboot set_active a command before trying to fastboot into twerp.img. I can't say this wouldn't have worked.
The only other information I have is that on the fast boot screen, The triangle with an exclamation mark in it was colored red. Normally this triangle is a yellow color.
Hope that helps.

No, I did not solve it.
I never came up with a solution to recover my data. The question was how can I recover my data. Instead, I had to wipe my whole phone and lose all my data by running flash-all.bat because my boss was getting mad I didn't have a phone.

Yeah I meant the bootloop, I mean looking at the bright side I saw worse. So just be happy with what you got, of course this is just my opinion.

this will be my last onepluse thatr for sure going back to Pixel 4 XL didnt have no issues going back to stock this is crazy
I'm having the same issue, so I'm gonna piggyback this in hopes of a different direction.. Long story, short, I've spent hours trying to get back to OOS from crdroid 11. the link above got me back to booting up t-mobile and relocks the bootloader, but wifi radio doesnt work & restarting brings me to being stuck on the boot logo. none of the other MSMtools work, unlocked or TMO from the unbrick page.
what step am i missing after going through the tmo to int. guide? since that's the only thing that's working.. thanks in advance, i'm attempting round 2 in the meantime.
When u r stuck on pink TMobile screen, force reboot to bootloader by holding vol+, vol-, & power buttons for 10 sec. Once you see phone rebooting, let go of power button only to enter bootloader mode. Then type "fastboot reboot fastboot" on PC while USBC cable is plugged into phone. This will kick phone into fastbootD mode. Then fastboot flash all stock rom files.
When wifi and 4g not working, u did not enter fastbootD mode, so system did not flash right

this would not work for me im assuming bc i have the global HD1905 not the T Mobile branded. u can read above why it wouldn't work . but i seem to have made some progress using the All in One Tool i clicked on flash factory image tab and at first it keep error out saying no Flash-All.bat found after unzipping it. so i kelp looking around and finally foud a factory zip that had the Flash-All.bat file in it so tried again using the Allin One Tool clicked Flash Factory image and it unzipped it and flashed fine but now i cant boot to the OOS it just reboots to the " your bootloader is unlocked integrity screen and stays . but i can boot in fastboot mode and recovery which is now factory recovery. i noticed that it flashed the OOS zip on slot A so i think the reason its not booting up to OOS is bc i need it flased on both slots ??

using the " All in One Tool "
Flashing is not allowed for Critical Partitions
is this normal error when flashing back to stock OOS ? when the flashing starts it says this for the first 4 or 5 flashing parts then it stats flashing as described in OP. then it reboots out of fastboot and boots to stock recovery then it finishes the flashing . then at the end it says to press any key to continue and the phone reboots and hangs at the screen that lets me know the bootloader is unlock screen. i flashed both a \b partitions and still does the same thing. its like the boot image is not flashing or im missing something else in the OP to get back to stock OOS.
anyone can help me please ?

ok that command worked it successfully Flashed all partitions and when it it it finished it said to press any key to continue .... i did and it rebooted into stock recovery and finished the flashing . then it reboots to the Your Bootloader is unlocked warning and stays there . so i went into recovery and factory reset everything and still hangs at the bootloder unlocked warningthat was all on Slot b so i was like maybe i need to flash both Slots so i switched to slot a active and repeated the whole process above and still nothing hangs again at the bootloader is unlocked warning... ggggrrrrr
what gives..... this is all done using the All in One Tool ... i know im getting close to getting it back to Stock OOS as i made progress with your help.
i then downloaded the factory image from OnePlus site but that was a no go as the zip had only something called Payload which wouldn't flash ..
anymore knowledge u might can share and thank you very much for your help
Go back to fastbootD and flash-all parts manually on A slot, then go to bootloader, type "fastboot set_active other" to go into B slot and repeat fastbootD flashing all parts again. Then go into stock recovery to format data and then reboot

that did it im back to all stock oos thank you so much buddy couldn't have doe it without your knowledge. crazy that none of the tools didn't work mine must have been a rare odd ball that i had to flash everything manually.
again thank you.
good evening
I have been trying to return to stock miui from Pixel Experience since yesterday but get this error every time I try to flash the Firmware and do not know what I can do about it. I would be happy if somebody knew what this error is from and what might fix it.
Same problem. Don't try more things because you will brick your phone like mine.
Thanks for your reply. What did you do that bricked your Phonem? This way I know what to avoid. Thanks you in advance
As you are sure your device is a eea one, try with this last official stable firmware : Version: V13.0.7.0.SKHEUXM
You can find it here https://new.c.mi.com/global/miuidownload/detail/device/1900394
Fastboot version here at bottom : https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/alioth/stable/V13.0.7.0.SKHEUXM/
Or https://bigota.d.miui.com/V13.0.7.0...EUXM_20220627.0000.00_12.0_eea_e461331a7d.tgz
Thanks you so much I will try that
and i did not mention this but I started this whole project of returning to miui because my poco was and still is in a bootloop and is only accessible over fastboot, not recovery and even though it sometimes gets to the system it almost instantly crashes and reboots
Still the Same Error unfortunatelly

Ok,
Do you have any idea what you did that may have caused this bootloop ?
Have you used any Qualcomm Tools or any soft in EDL mode ?
No, I did not do anything that would mess with the system to my knowledge . which is why i really do not know what to do. Can This Error occur because of a USB 3.0 used to flash? The Phone even tries to reboot when it is detected as a Fastboot device, maybe This has Something to do with it. Maybe it loses the Connection and therefore the flashing process stops. Are there possible ways to fix This?
Try with the latest android platform tools.
Put the content of platform tools archive in the fastboot folder and launch flash_all.bat don't use flash_all_lock
Still the Same Error . Can This be because of a Driver or a hardware issue?
i had similar issues but with the super partition when trying to flash from cmd.
flashing with miflash instead solved it.
It doesnt seem to make any difference to the error whether i flash it via cmd or miflash

Maybe : So as you can try with other PC, USB cable, USB connector, reinstall USB drivers...
I already tried with two Notebooks, I will try again tomorrow with another PC and installing USB drivers again. Thank you
You could try redownloading the MIUI ROM... you got it from xiaomifirmwareupdater.com right?
And yes ^^, try other PCs/laptops and other USB-cables.
Just please make sure
Unfortunately, Fastboot-Flashing is a gamble. It's not a solid protocol. It has zero protection against sudden USB-connection loss.
And manufacturers like Xiaomi go out of their way and block Qualcomm's EDL Mode, which is the only way to recover your phone in case Fastboot Mode stops working, because that Mode itself can also get damaged.
Fixed - first flash a miui recovery rom from twrp make sure the rom version lower than the latest one, now flash and boot miui , now just update from miui updater once you updated to the latest version , now try to flash the fastboot rom that you trying to flash, it should work.
I cant access a bootloader like TWRP because the phone still keeps rebooting after a couple of seconds in the bootloader so i cant really do much. I only have access to fastboot
nockcx said:
just flash a custom vbmeta and then install a custom recovery in to the boot partition like fastboot flash boot ....flash both the slots boot_a and boot_b the run fastboot reboot recovery do all this with latest platform tools

okay Im as far as I have never been with a very weird method, maybe somebody can explain. Because my poco always wants to reboot I found out a way to keep in in Fastboot mode. I repeatedly press the power and volume down button, This way it stays on for a lot longer, but it still is not enough to succeed at flashing the rom. It also lets me believe that my problem is not a software but probably a hardware problem, otherwise and cannot explain this suuuper weird behavior. what do you guys think? is there a possible fix you know?
