Clinically dead Redmi 5A - please help - Xiaomi Redmi 5A Questions & Answers

Hi to all, I just want to ask for some advice or tips. The thing is:
I have one old Redmi 5A Riva. It was lying in the drawer some time, so I decided to try to unlock the bootloader and flash some custom ROM.
So, I unlocked the bootloader - OK
Then I flashed TWRP - OK
Then I decided to make root on stock firmware - OK
Then I tried to flash Lineage OS 17 - after flash it stopped booting.
So I tried to flash Lineage OS 18 - it started booting again but I found out that phone doesn´t detect an USB cable, so I wanted to flash some other ROM instead.
But after few moments TWRP suddenly disappeared (volume up + power on stopped working, only vol. down and power on worked to fastboot) - kinda weird, I said to myself Now I am f**ked up because Lineage 18 was not rooted, I wanted to do it later, so I couldn´t use TWRP app to reflash it.
But after few moments there appeared stock recovery menu, so I thought okay, maybe its not dead, so I try to flash just stock rom. I tried MIUI 10, but again - not booting.
So I did wipe again and tried MIUI 9 - flashing via fastboot and used flash_all.bat attached to rom - it booted up and worked, so I enabled USB debugging again and tried OMNI ROM. I flashed it, after flash it boots up, but after few second screen goes black and nothing else happens.
I am kinda annoyed with this , I flashed many phones, but only Xiaomi makes these weird problems.
Can someone help me to fix this?

I think I hardbricked my Zuk z2?

So guys
I was on twrp and tried to flash a new rom but when it rebooted after the install, my Zuk z2 died.
It does nothing now. If I press the powerbutton for a long time it shortly vibrates for one second and the notification light also lights up for 1 second, but does not boot up. I tried volume combinations, don't work either.
What can I do guys?
Well, this guy managed to fix it
. Not sure if its the best way to fix it but it's still something

My video. The brick occurs when you usually backup a room with one version of twrp, flash another variant of twrp and then restore the nandroid from before.
Happened to me. Flashed MIUI, and then tried to restore a nandroid (not realising the TWRP changed).
Hope the video helps. Plus then you have a cable premade in case it happens again

Hello. Maybe you can give me some advice. I am stuck in engineering/diagnostics mode after I accidentally selected that option when I was in the bootloader trying to flash TWRP.
Basically, I had installed TWRP and Mokee 7.1.1. I wanted to check out the original chinese ROM so I relocked, flashed with QFIL, etc. I had first flashed MM, then I flashed latest chinese Nougat official.
I didn't like it, so I was trying to unlock the bootloader again, and in the process I ended up selecting the diagnostics/engineering mode. The phone was stuck there and I had no way of accessing the bootloader to reflash with QFIL or MiFlash
TO try to fix, I used the deep flash method you describe in the video, only I found it in zukfans. I was able to open the 9008 port, flash with QFIL/MiFlash. Even though both tools describe the flash as successful, on boot, it goes back to engineering mode.
How to I get out of there? Is my phone done?
Thanks!

Need help to go back to MIUI

So I recently changed my Xiaomi Mi MIx 2 screen (the one before was broken) and I wss using LineageOS 16 with TWRP.
The problem is that, after I changed the screen, I could not boot back to LineageOS because I was stuck in a grey screen (after booting the phone I am able to see the Mi logo and the LineageOS loading animation, but after that nothing).
I tried to do a Wipe from the TWRP, but whenever I try to open the recovery I get stuck again with a grey logo... (and in the recovery it does not even shows the TWRP logo, just straight the grey screen). I am still able, however, to go in Fastboot mode and I do have an unlocked bootloader
So my question was... does anyone encounteredd the same problem? And does anyone know how to fix it?
Can I perhaps just use the Mi Flash tool from fastboot to go back to stock MIUI without first wiping from TWRP things like Dalvik cache, cache, System ecc... or would this method fail/brick my phone?
Thank you a lot to anyone that would spend time to help me (and sorry for my bad English, I am trying to improve it).
Have a nice day!
The mi mix2s rewrites a new recovery after every boot, so to get TWRP to work you have to flash it from fastboot every single time. So the next time you boot, reflash TWRP, then you can boot into recovery 1 time and flash the rom of your choice
Hi Guys,
Recently i'm changed my broken display of Mix 2 after that when i'm entering to recovery it showing a gray screen also the phone is detecting on PC.
some TWRP worked but after flashing custom ROM same as showing gray screen after finished boot also doing second try the touch not working on TWRP.
Now i'm using Global version of MIUI11, when flashing custom TWRP via FASTBOOT MODE its booting up but after that restarting the phone revert back to the stock Recovery. Earlier i'm used the final version of MIUI12 Weekly EU ROM
Guys if you know any workaround for this please help me to get rid out of this
Thanks in Advance

Z2 Plus Boot issues

I was on AEX and tried a new roms (Pixys, Evolution, Pixel Experience etc) and none of them booted the android.
Tried to restore AEX and even that is not booting. Phone keeps rebooting in loop without booting to any os including the restored backup.
Evolution and pixel after a clean installation says "no os".
Phone stays in start mode and does not move beyond this point.
Phone boots to twrp recovery.
Any idea what is wrong? Have corrupted the phone that it can't be used?
Is there a way out?
Quick solution would be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Anyone has a solution/suggestion for this?Deperate now since there is no alternate phone.
Thanks again
The phone boots recovery and adb commands work whereas fastboot commands don't work. I am able to flash vendor2factory and rom successfully with no error but the phone still not boot android but vibrates and goes back start screen and if i don't press any keys it restarts again after showing the ZUK logo.
I hope i have been able to explain the situation. I am still not able to boot the android despite trying more than one rom.
Anyone has any clues? Thanks

I am having the same problem. I was in pixel experience and i flashed latest pixel experiences august security patch, it showed no os but it booted. But there were several bugs in the rom, i thought it was roms problem and then i tried to flash evolution, it again showed no os after flashing and then i got stuck at evolution x boot logo. So, i tried to qfil zui but to no avail, the flashing process won't even start the qpst tool just freezes after pressing the download button. Then in the twrp i noticed that battery percentage is different at different times sometimes it shows correct value but somes it won't so i thought that the problem might be from twrp and then i flashed new twrp but again same problem. Then i flashed arrow os 10.0 without gapps, it booted successfully then i flashed gapps. After sometime i tried to flash evolution x but got stuck at boot logo again. Finally i flashed arrows os again it booted successfully (i flashed rom and gapps separetly)
So, FINALLY THE TEMPORARY SOLUTION IS TO FLASH ARROW OS IT WILL BOOT SUCCESSFULLY BUT THEN AGAIN OTHER ROMS WON'T BOOT. IF I FIND ANY SOLUTION I WILL POST HERE

When you qfil, the recovery will be lost i think. But since you cannot enable usb debugging i think you wont be able to flash twrp.

I think the problem is our phone is not able to boot big rom i.e. roms of size close to 1gb or more than 1gb since arrow os without gapps is only 600mb my phone is able to boot. If you are able to find the solution or get your phone repaired at any cell repair centre please let me know
bro is your phone working now

Unlocked bootloader - boot loop after trying to put stock firmware back on

My telephone keeps booting to fastboot after trying to update TWRP.
I am trying to restore the original ROM (apollo_eea_global_images_V12.5.12.0.RJDEUXM_20220208.0000.00_11.0_eea) and I can get the rom installed through fastboot but the phone enters a boot loop cycle. It starts up, vibrates shortly then reboots.
If i press volume up it goes into the original recovery menu. I have tried clearing everything and even entering safe mode but the phone will not boot.
Am i screwed?
Thanks in advance.
I installed the Pixel Experience recovery and side-loaded the zip and at least have a working OS.
I must be doing something wrong with the stock mi10t
Now i sided the miui zip and its working agian. I think i have misunderstood the procedure. I thought you only need to install the rom with flashboot and that was it.

[SOLVED] Bricked my Redmi Note 8 Pro, what can I do?

Hi everyone, in November 2022 I unlocked my phone and flashed Pixel Experience13, the basic one. Some days ago I wanted to try the plus version and wiped data, cache, system and then I moved the rom inside the phone and used twrp to flash the rom, I didn't used adb sideload and now my phone just shows the redmi logo, I can only access to fastboot, if I try to press Volume + and Power button appears the twrp splash screen, but like after 10 seconds it disappears. I read that I can flash stock roms somehow, but I can't understand very well, can someone help me out?
