Tool includes all TWRP versions available for Mi 8 SE. (Android Q - Android P - Miui 10 - Miui 11)
This tool is Turkish but i explained settings on picture.
-Turn off your phone and go to fastboot mode
(power+volume down button)
-Connect your phone with cable to the PC
-All drivers should be installed on your PC.
If not please install Mi Flash from link then install drivers in the Mi Flash program.
Mi Flash: https://sourceforge.net/projects/reiwa-mi8se/files/Fastboot Bootloop Rom/
Win 10 / 7 / 8 works flawless
If drivers are OK please go to next step.
-Choose TWRP you would like to flash then copy it to main folder and rename it to recovery
(If you flash wrong TWRP version, TWRP will not start but don't worry. Just flash different version of TWRP in the list.)

Hi TacoNikky
Thank you very much for the tool and the detailed description. I tried to install the TWRP for over a week now and i am at my wits end. It is a Xiaomi Mi 8SE, running on MIUI 11.0.3.0 Stable (PEBCNXM) with Android 9 with security patch level 2019-09-01.
I installed the tool and i selected the recovery0423 version. (Later, I tried also other versions).
Unfortunately the following error occured: can not found file flash_all_lock.bat
Thank you for any help.

Do we need an authorized mi account to do so? Because i hardbricked my redmi 6 months ago and it always says that my mi account doesnt have a permission and then it will fail with a broadcom_cmd_fail.

No. But they may fail if you try to flash to any phone with V12.0.5.0 or higher already installed. I suggest you to flash to V12.0.4.0 using fastboot before. And then, try to flash using DA files.
Good luck

I have been using this Mi 11x (Indian variant of Poco F3/ Redmi K40). It has TWRP by Nebrassy as latest version of Magisk (v23) installed and working. Magisk is working in systemless mode. System structure shows partitions Slot A and Slot B in TWRP. Whenever I attempt to delete any system file using root privileged file manager it return 'failed to delete : error code 1'.
I did try deleting these files using TWRP file manager. There also it says 'failed, Code 1'.
What am I doing wrong. And how to correct it? Please help...

I worked on my mi 11x with unlocked, magisk rooted Xiaomi.eu 12.5.4.0 rom (android 11). I just downloaded the flashable zip file from the site attached) and installed it in TWRP recovery. Pretty straight forward... But u need to have atleast 20gb internal memory free, where a backup of your super.img will be stored (u can delete this later). My advice is to go through the thread once since I have read certain feedbacks where the device went into bootloop.

*Flash TWRP guide:
- Your phone firmware must be 12.5.x A11
- In Google, search "Begonia Recovery Project Fastboot Miui 12.5 a11 zip pling" and download "BRPv3.6-fastboot.zip" on it site.
- Extract the zip file
- Phone in fastboot mode
- Double click "1.FlashBRPMiuiA11Unified.bat"
Then your phone will automatic flash and boot in TWRP
*After boot in TWRP:
- Advanced>Disable TWRP Replace
(To prevent it get back to MIUI Recovery after boot in System)
- Advanced>Patch vbmeta
(Need to prevent bootloop in MIUI because of flashing Magisk or flashing TWRP)

thanks for the help!! it worked perfectly, but i have a different problem now. I installed pixel expirience i tried to boot into the system and it does not want to. it just boot loops back into TWRP and when i try to plug it into my pc it reboots repetitively. that`s kinda odd.

Every time I see that that stupid message still circulates in the universe I rip out my hair.
What causes it? Generally it is when your device is not configured or has a wonky cable or interference.
Windows reports such a case as:
Code:
kernel32.dll message code 0x0000001F
A device attached to the system is not functioning.
The (still) stupid adb.exe takes 0x1f as 31 and interprets it as Linux error code EMLINK.
Thus it proudly prints out that you have too many symbolic links in a chain.

Hi all! We need your help! I have a xiaomi redmi 9 phone. I decided to install tvrp, so that later I can install another OS. At the same time, I encountered the following error: "FAILED (failed to read status (too many links)"). I succeeded when I had already successfully installed tvrp and set the command to reboot in the recovery. I tried to change the USB cable, the USB port on the computer, I tried to press the sound key to immediately get into the recovery without a command on the PC. All unsuccessful. PLEASE HELP ME
Original:
Всем привет! Мы нуждаемся в твоей помощи! У меня телефон сяоми редми 9. Решил установить тврп, чтобы потом поставить другую операционку. В то же время я столкнулся со следующей ошибкой: «FAILED (сбой чтения статуса (слишком много ссылок)»). У меня получилось, когда я уже успешно установил тврп и выставил команду на перезагрузку в рекавери. Пробовал менять кабель USB, порт USB на компе, пробовал нажимать клавишу звука, чтобы сразу попасть в рекавери без команды на ПК. Все безуспешно. ПОМОГИ ПОЖАЛУЙСТА
Hello all,
I've been having the hardest week, all my personal business at the halt (cant use bank apps, email etc.). One morning my phone suddenly entered a bootloop, then since then I was in a bit of hurry, I tried a stock rom recovery update from twrp, that made the phone enter a hardbrick status.
Then since we don't have a firehose for the 'lisa' I had to pay a guy to take it out. That solved the hardbrick but the softbrick remained. Since I am not an android expert just have mediocre knowledge I asked a kind persons help. They've been trying to help me for days but we still couldn't solve the issue and I thought other opinions would be nothing but helpful.
The details you should know:
1. Only hardware operation made on the device is changing a resistor. (Can explain it better, if requested). But the phone was working just fine after it for months.
2. We have identified the partitions are all messed up and and flashing stock rom doesn't solve it, tried Eu, global and Chinese roms.
3. The system was missing on the twrp advance wipe and there were:
dalvik
metadata
data
ınt storage
sdcard1
usb otg
4. I didn't understand all the things he/she tried but tried to fix the partitions mainly using these sources ( it could give you a better idea ):

How to fix "Partition does not start on physical sector boundary" warning?
I have one HDD on my laptop, with two partitions (one ext3 with Ubuntu 12.04 installed and one swap). fdisk is giving me the following warning: Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary

5. We tried 3 different custom roms but no avail.
6. At the moment the phone can enter in fastboot but giving trouble flashing twrp or orangefox.
I'm confident my expert angel has a solution for that but I think in general any thoughts, ideas, suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Thank you in advance...

Thank you for your input, yes we have thought of that and downloaded the oldest global rom but haven't tried to flash it yet because of another hardbrick possibility. We are trying to fix it with terminal within twrp (we can flash twrp now) attempting to fix the partitions.
Any other ideas?

Not sure that the Twrp for this device is 100% functional, especially since this device has A/B partitions and A13 has write restrictions.
You can try a Xiaomi Eu rom and flash the rom in fastboot mode with the first install.bat script included in the extracted folder.(xiaomi.eu_multi_MI11LE_XM11Lite5GNE_V14.0.6.0.TKOCNXM_v14-1)

Format data, erase your data and create a new partition if necessary (Twrp format data type yes, Miflash and Xiaomi Eu rom do it too).
The recovery roms do not contain all the system imgs unlike the Fastboot rom and Xiaomi Eu rom.
Could also be a HW problem.

Which twrp version were you using and which version of MIUI did you try to flash when you hard bricked?
There's no system partition nowadays, it is now included in the "super" partition (system, system_ext, product and vendor) and developer removed the option to wipe it because you are not intended to wipe it.
My recomendation is to flash any fastboot rom, I've flashed 7 roms with fastboot and it always worked flawlessly.
Hi, I'm the person that has been helping.
Of course we flashed miui (in fastboot). Global and chinese. We haven't tried eu yet.
I think I've found the source of the problem, but I'm not sure if solving it will fix the bootloop. A partition that's called switch is corruped. It reports as 16EiB (yes that is correct, 16 exabytes, 18446744073709551607 sectors, reported by gptfdisk, full report). It could just be a program issue. The switch partition in located in /dev/block/sda1 and /dev/block/dm-5. I also found that a dummy.img file is being flashed to that partition.
I also got this error from trying to open the switch partition from a newer version of gptfdisk.
I'm not sure if that's the reason for the bootloop, but I think it can be.
These reports have been from /dev/block/sda1. From /dev/block/dm-5 it's like this.
If someone wants to look at the tools I found, they're here.
If someone has any suggestions or possible answers for us, please reply.

Hi, there was is no error in miflash.
You can take a look here if you want to.
Indeed, no error.
Could be a boot sector problem but with dynamic+A/B partitions+A13 , it gets tricky.

I saw that you changed a transistor, maybe there is a problem elsewhere that is causing this to happen.
Changing the motherboard with the flex cable might be preferable.
I doubt that what you are trying to do is possible due to the complexity of the current system and especially for boot sectors which are not likely to be accessible with current tools.
Especially since the problem has not been identified with precision.
A little update:
We tried flashing EU rom and the oldest rom, but still no luck. Phone is still bootlooping and switch partition is still broken.
