Hey. I wanted to install a new ROM on my phone, but I found out I couldn't install a recovery. I made the mistake of wiping all of the partitions and now I can't do anything. Fastboot is my only option, since I literally don't have a recovery. Is it hard bricked?
I wonder if you could just fix this way like in

It´s just soft bricked, try and flash a .img file using:
fastboot flash recovery <recoveryname.img>
If it doesn't work, use mi tools and flash full ROM from official xiaomi site

Thanks for the reply; I already unbricked it. Like I said in the original post, I couldn't install a recovery. But thanks.

Care to share how you did it?

Hi guys, I searched around the forum before posting this so I apologize but I recently installed a new rom and possibly a wrong kernel with it. Afterwards, if I try to turn it on, it just shows the logo and then turns right off. I can't even go into recovery since it does the same. The only thing I can do is boot it into fastboot but I'm not sure where to go from here. I tried using a guide with no success.
Any words of wisdom?
reflash your recovery via fastboot, then boot into recovery and do a clean install
fastboot flash [recovery].img
I tried reflashing recovery but all it does is show the old rom logo that was used and then shuts down.
Hi,
Read carefully and try this guide:
forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/guide-mega-unbrick-guide-hard-bricked-t3405700
which rom did you flash? You need the correct twrp file for your bootloader.
That's the first place I tried. Anytime I hook-up my phone to the PC it shows up as OnePlus Android bootloader interface under Android phone and I can't seem to update the drivers..

Thank you so much, I guess I installed the wrong TWRP and I can FINALLY get into recovery. Thank you so much.
Hey all. I got my mi6 recently. and I installed twrp on it, and flashed magisk. I was trying to install atmos in recovery mod, then I remembered that I hadn't already downloaded the file. For some damn reason I decided to wipe my device. however that didn't go well, and now I'm stuck on a twrp load loop.
I've already tried this command unsuccessfully.
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/misc bs=256 count=1 conv=notrunc
Also in desperation, I flashed my phone, rebooted it and etc.
What else can I try?
you can re-flash Twrp in fastboot mode, then boot to twrp, connect to you pc, it will recognize your phone as usb storage.
Down load you rom, copy it to your phone, then install rom by Twrp.

Can you boot to TWPR ?
- Yes: you can connect to PC and copy your rom, then install
- No: flash fastboot rom: download from Xiaomi site, use Miflash to flash in fastboot, then flash TWPR again.
Xiaomi download site is down

you may need to use a mobile browser. But there are mirrors.
I managed to fix the problem, by accident.
I just wiped Dalvik cache and data using the wiping tool in twrp.
after the reboot, TWRP was gone, and a fresh rom was installed with all my data, gone. However, that already has happened. So it wasn't a great loss.
I'm not technical, so I don't really know what made caused the loop, or how another wipe fixed it. So if anyone can explain it better, the floor is yours.
Thanks for the support.

Have you enabled phone encryption before? It could be this.. After manual wipe of data partition you were able to boot again..

Hey, A few months ago I flashed pixel experience, and it all went smoothly other than the fact my device boots into mi recovery instead of redwolf recovery when i go into recovery mode. Now, this wasnt really a problem, however it quickly became a problem once i needed to update my device as it required flashing the new software, which requires access to redwolf recovery project. So, a few questions:
- Whats the safest way to flash the new software without causing any problems?
- I assume its to manually boot into redwolf recovery via my pc, and then update as normal from there, how do i boot into recovery mode from my PC?
- Is there any software which can help with making updating easier in the future?
- how do i stop my device from booting into mi recovery again?
Thanks in advance

After flashing Redwolf you have to flash another file called lazyflasher. It makes sure you can boot into TWRP everytime. You can get it here in this forum.

Ah okay, thanks. And how do i flash lazyflasher, because I cant directly boot into recovery mode to flash it of course, so would I have to boot into recovery through my PC, its just the adb reboot recovery command, correct?

Yeah. Boot to twrp from your pc. Then flash lazyflasher.
You can follow this guide. Read part C AND E in particular.

Hello Good day everyone, please help this idiot who just bricked his phone for no reason at all:crying:
I accidentally wipe my system or should i say im just flat out an idiot for wiping everything without any backup. i have installed twrp and i unlock the bootloader already because i wanted to install miui in my mi a2 lite phone but ended up wiping everything and now im stuck in twrp mode. i still can do fastboot and open my phone in twrp mode but thats all NO OS. How can i save my phone back to normal. please help me. THANK YOU ALL!!!
If you can get to fastboot, use the stock rom flash script. See the stock rom thread in the guides forum.
If you've got windows, miflash may be easier to use. I think it takes the same stock rom file.

Just make sure you download a fastboot rom which has all partitions.
When I wanted to remove all traces of root from my phone last week, i noticed that many of the more recent images only have /system or just a few partitions.
I ended up installing one of the earliest Pie images (V10.0.2.0.PDLMIFJ if i recall correctly) and then doing all the OTA's until I was at V11.0.9.0.QDLMIXM or something.
Fix

It happened to me like a week ago and i was able to fix it just yesterday. cuz i am new at this root stuff. But i was able to do it at th e end. You need to install stock rom, miflash. Also download flashable stock rom. Because i installed like 5 stock roms. But they were not flashable so it did not work. Extract the stock rom that you downloaded. Then open miflash. Now go into fastboot mode and plug your phone to your pc. Now locate the folder where flashable files are and then click flash. It should say Success. If not that means it did not work.But it should work so yeah. That is it.

He flashed orangefox to boot but orange fox can't flash to boot because then you can't boot the os I had the same problem
You have to copy orange fox and original boot.img to your phone. Flash the original boot.img and then flash orangefox recovery ramdisk however I don't know because I only know how to install TWRP this way

Tell me exactly, so, I can help you.
When you unlocked bootloader, which other partitions you formatted? You said, you used "mtk", I assume you used ,mtk-client, and in the scripts of this tool, also is recommended to delete other partitions.
When you say, you flashed back the stock ROM, which method did you use?, which tool?, and what message you got from that tool, I mean, it was success, etc?
I recommend replacing Orange Fox with TWRP.
I just had this issue on a different Xiaomi phone. I replaced Orange Fox with TWRP and was able to flash LOS and fix the problem.

No, they unlocked the bootloader, as it said in the first post.
SPFT and mtk-client tools can flash even to locked devices.
