Hi, so i was just trying to root my device and after successfully unlocking its bootloader I was using a guide here to flash twrp it said in fastboot that it's successfully transferred but when I open the recovery the device goes into a bootloop until I remove my finger and let it boot to system, I even tried custom and official TWRP but unfortunately nothing worked and still have the same problem.
Please if anyone knows a solution I would be grateful to know it.
Thanks in advance.
that's what i get when i try to boot it
"fastboot boot" doesn't work in MTK devices.
Also try closing AVB 2.0 with this command.
"fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img"
Take vbmeta.img from the ROM you're currently on.

Unfortunately you have to format data. Which means losing all your data.

Hi, tried to install a 4.4 ROM but it failed and then went downhill. Does anyone have the latest image file for the bootloader? Now I am soft bricked trying to go back to stock but all I can find are the old bootloaders and they do not work with the kitkat image file from google. Thanks for the help!

You can find many of the kernels/recoveries/bootloaders in the download section of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2534698
The problem is it might not get you to where you want to be.
What exactly are you calling a "brick"?
If you have a bootloader issue, you won't even see the Google during boot. It is rare to be bricked in that way.
You are probably stuck on the X or bouncing balls animation.
You can get out of that by going to recovery and performing wipe data factory reset.
If you are stuck at "Google", then you need to reflash the factory image (you can choose the nowipe option and possibly keep your user data)

hey, thanks for the reply. I'm trying to get my tablet to kitkat with the stock image from google. but I hear that with kitkat there is a new bootloader so I want to update that through fastboot (my device is recognized so I call it a soft boot) but the problem is when I erase the boot and reflash the boot.img and try to flash the new .img it doesn't load up. im using these commands
Code:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
fastboot flash boot
fastboot flash recovery
fastboot flash system
fastboot reboot-bootloader
my current bootloader version says FLO 4.01 not sure how to update it.

4.01 is the bootloader that came with kitkat.
you can't just say
fastboot flash boot
you need to say
fastboot flash boot boot.img
and have the boot.img in place.
I suggest you just follow the instructions in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47640458#post47640458
Use the nowipe option and you should be able to keep your user data unless you erased or messed it up earlier.

Hello, need your help guys.
So my Whyred bootlooping now. What I did previously was wiping System, Cache, Dalvik & Data before flashing custom ROM -- I know, this shouldn't be an issue. But since I can do fastboot, I tried to flashes recovery. I tried a few (TWRP, RedWolf & Batik), for each the steps were all the same: Via fastboot flash the dummy image to manipulate ARB check, then flash Recovery and finish with boot into recovery.
The phone booting into recovery, I can see the screen of recoveries for few second, then phone bootlooping again.
What should I do?
And for additional information, my phone was unlocked bootloader -- it still unlocked because I can see the Unlocked sign on bootloop screen. I also tried to flash official MIUI rom via fastboot (whyred_global_images_V10.0.6.0.OEIMIFH_20181127) but it was failed because anti roll back -- I also don't understand this because the ARB was supposed not allowing me to downgrade, but why is it also not allowing me to flash the latest ROM too?
I am now stucked in bootloop -- still can do fastbooting, but really have no idea how to flash any rom and get into the system. Really need help help help please
Try this:
Code:
fastboot boot recoveryname.img
like fastboot boot RedWolf.img

That's not how you install TWRP on this phone.
If you can get to fastboot, you can recover. Flash partitions or get a whole stock ROM. Or use miflash.
If you can't get to fastboot your phone needs EDL with pins.

Hello there,
I have bought a Redmi Note 8 Pro in Europe. My goal is to get a custom rom on it up and running.
The bootloader is successfully unlocked, and I tried to flash TWRP and Orange Fox recovery. To do so I followed the instructions on the TWRP home page to the letter, namely flashing vbmeta.img (fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img) first and then the recovery image (
Sadly the TWRP and Orange Fox recovery never starts; the system just seems to be stuck in a boot loop for recovery, until I power it off and start it in a way that the stock ROM provided on it re-installs itself.
I have tried so far all suggestions I was able to find in this forum, but sadly no result.
What might I still do in order to get a recovery finally up and running on this device?
Thanks in advance!

Are your flash sequence vbmeta>TWRP>reboot?
Try to flash vbmeta once more.
Also, for recovery, choose one of it.

Can you boot into the system if you don't go into recovery right after flashing from twrp?

No i can't, it simply won't boot
there is a bit in twrp's website : https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomiredminote8pro.html
this vbmeta.img took me some time to find. i downloaded the rom i wanted (pixel exp and evolution x) and the vbmeta.img was in there. so once you copy out this vbmeta.img, try flashing it though the cmd, this got me out of the bootloop
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
If you're still looking I was having the same issue. Lineage recovery and orange fox recovery both worked fine for me
