So i tried to install Pixel Experience on my Poco F3 wich runs miui 13. I failed and now my phone is in a constant fastboot mode. How can i save the phone and if the battery drains, i dont think it charges while in this mode, will i brick my phone?
Thanks for any help or advice.
If simply the bootloader works, then I think it can still charge.
You need to give more details, what did you do exactly? You installed Pixel Experience through TWRP (official or non-official?), or through a different Recovery? Did you wipe data afterwards?
I highly recommend the YouTuber "munchy", does Xiaomi Modding/Flashing. He'll cover your Information-needs.
Either flash Stock ROM through Fastboot Mode using PC and Mi Flash/Command Prompt, or using TWRP and a full Recovery.zip. Munchy has a guide for both!
I personally have never done the latter, I only ever did Clean Flashes of the Stock ROM over Fastboot & my PC, but there's a risk. If e.g. the USB-cable randomly disconnects while flashing, that could be very dangerous and lead to a hardbrick.
you can just flash the stock rom, and try again. munchy has guides that are easy to follow, i suggest you watch them.
Quick tip; if you do go ahead and flash stock fastboot rom using miflash, be sure to click 'clean all' in bottom right corner and NOT 'clean all and lock'.
But yeah, we ideally need more info to try to assist... like @cyanGalaxy says

Hey! Today I rooted my Mi A2 Lite using magisk with fastboot. Let me go over what I did:
I enabled OEM unlocking and USB debugging in settings
I flashed the rooted img.
Me, being a retard, disabled USB debugging and OEM unlocking
Of course when I rebooted it said The system has been destroyed.
So, I've been searching all over the internet (went as far as page 3 of google results sometimes ) and didn't find a way to boot into twrp or anything with disabled usb debugging and OEM.
I've tried XiaomiTool and similar, nothing worked (device locked or similar message on anything)
The only way I've found is using test points on the motherboard. That's my last resort, but I want to know some things before I do it.
1. Do you know any way I could try and boot/flash an img?
2. Do you think I can do the test points thing at home (not an expert)?
3. Any tips on doing it?
Thank you so much if you are able to help, I really love this phone, hope I didn't screw it up
Been there a month ago for 8 hours
The popular solution is to disassemble the phone , disconnect battery and boot into EDL mode
But I downloaded the Mi A2 lite toolkit and messed with it ( the unbrick and boot to twrp options) after trying to flash 10.0.3.0 stock rom and miflash tool was deceiving me that it was flashing but it was not .. try to flash it by flash_all.bat
The stock fastboot rom : https://en.miui.com/getrom-354.html?m=yes&mobile=2
The toolkit : https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/tool-10-11-2018-backup-restore-lock-t3865519
I downloaded the 1.0.4.1
Stay calm and remember it's just a piece of silicon a lot can go wrong but butor can go right everything has a solution

Thanks for the response! I'll try later and see how it goes, hope it works :fingers-crossed:
Edit: I tried the toolkit, it gest stuck on downloading. I think I'll try to open my phone and use EDL mode. I hope I dont **** it up XD
I have a Xiaomi Note 8 Pro initially came with China Stable Rom V11.0.3.0.PGGCNXM. It was also unlocked.
I accidentally flashed Global Stable ROMV11.0.6.0.PGGMIXM via MiFlashTool and while it was successful, it rebooted to Recovery Mode with the message "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device".
After that, I pressed "Wipe All Data", so now the device is also locked.
Since there is no OS installed, I cannot access the device and consiquently to use Mi Unlock Tool properly to Unlock it again.
The device is now locked, without OS installed. However I can access Fastboot menu and Recovery mode.
Is there anyway to unlock the device in this state and flash it's original Rom again?
Please if you have anything to suggest that might help me, answer my question. I'm desperate. :crying:
Hmmm. Can you still access fastboot mode? If yes I recommend using miflash pro and flashing the correct rom for your device, or manually flashing all images via fastboot.
You've likely selected Clean all and lock (default setting) which flashed MIUI and locked the bootloader afterwards which bricked the device because of cross-region ROM flashing. Since you can't flash it with locked bootloader your only option is to take it to the service center.
@JuanM2020 @n0b0dy666 First of all, thank you guys for your suggestions.
Update: I tried to flash it's original Rom via MiFlash Pro, however when I connected my device on the final step, as for the SP tool to flash the Rom, my pc couldn't detect it. I even risked and disassembled the device to remove the battery in order to turn off the device, but it didn't work either. (Cdc & Vcom Mediatek drivers both installed properly on my pc).
The device is recognized by my computer when in Flashboot menu. However for the SP tool to work, it should be turned off, but recognizable from computer.
Before posting here, of course I went to a service center, but they told me because I tried to install Global Rom 11.0.06, while it's original Rom was China Stable Rom 11.0.03, I should wait for the 11.0.06, as a downgrade is not possible (not sure if it's true). We don't have an official Xiaomi Center in my county, where I go was the best chance I had.
Any other recommendations?

If you can still access fastboot mode flash correct images manually.
E.g.:
Fastboot flash system system.img
Fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Etc etc

Could you fix it?
I was on 12.5.4 Global and wanted to switch to 12.5.6 EEA, and i've red here and there that was a "safe" operation. I've tried to unlock the bootloader and flash the rom, all the roms gave compatibility issues, so i flashed the 12.0.3 EEA, but it was stucked on the boot logo. I've read that boot into EDL mode and flash via MiFlash could resolve the thing.
I tried but MiFlash crashes everytime i try to flash a rom.
Could someone give an help?
UPDATE: Now is in fastboot, same problem with the stock roms.
Did you read any tutorial? For which reason you flash 12.0.3?
Looks like you triggered anti-rollback protection. Read here https://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-anti-rollback-protection-brick-phone/
You cannot install previous versions of miui.
If by some chance the phone still boots to fastboot mode, try to install the LATEST firmware for your phone via mi flash tool (make sure you check "clean all" option and NOT the "clean all and lock" which is default in the flash tool).
And no, you cannot use EDL with this phone. EDL is locked to regular users and can only be accessed by an authorized account.
If you ca access fastboot and the device is recognized by you computer in fastboot mode then you can flash Miui using MiFlash.EDL mode is when you dont have access to fastboot.
Read tutorials about flashing miui using miflash on youtube.

If u are in fastboot mode, install this : https://www.mediafire.com/file/lv98wac50a2dexz/MiFlash20210226.zip/file. extract and launch the exe, click on install. wait a pop-up in chinese and close all. Then re-try to re flash the EEA (in CLEAN ALL) with this mi flash. Tell me if all works

Or install via any mi flash lol.
It sounds like normal thing...
Cross flashing global/EEA tends to fail for whatever reason ( Super doesn't flash correctly ) and you get stuck bootlooping or straight towards fastboot depending on how far the super flashed...
Go back to global ROM and sit there. It should flash alright.
Idk why it does this ... Something is not alright with this phone
{Mod edit: Quoted post has been deleted}
Yes it's always 604 or 606 seconds for mi flash no matter how good your PC is either because I have a good one it should be like 2 minutes.
Wtf? What do you guys mean edl mode you don't boot into edl mode that requires you to take the back off and jump it with wires or something. You boot into fastboot mode like you did to unlock bootloader and flash with miflash and you don't go from 12.5.6 to 12.0.3 normally downgrading will brick your device. Where the f did you get all of this from. If you can boot back into fastboot mode volume down and power key until it boots into fastboot than reflash the last working firmware you had with miflash and look at the video. I don't understand what all the countries believe they can do with a phone edl mode is like OEM type fixes not some kid on Xda

You can always tell your on Xda when they offer help that is 1 link and try this is the only information they give. The reason you screwed up is because lazy people that don't leave full instructions. You never never never never need to worry about edl mode. Fast boot or bootloader mode as it's called is how you restore a soft bricked phone what did you do with edl mode I don't even understand what you tried to do.

You thought this is something you needed to do? Edl mode is nothing that a regular soft brick would require
Here's another one edl mode I can't understand why you or anyone else would think this is how we restore a soft bricked phone lol this would be crazy I would be done. Your not even close to the first person to say this. Same with battery backup that doesn't make sense it's not battery backup you don't backup your battery it's battery life
In a bit of a dilemma. Bought a Poco F3 a little bit back, decided to get a custom rom (crdroid). I flashed it successfully but Gapps wasn't working, discovered i got the wrong version so tried to directly flash the right version, but got stuck in a bootloop. Fastboot devices isn't seeing anything now for some reason although device manager sees the phone. Tried to flash stock miui but that wasn't working, am out of ideas as to what to do. Any ideas? Thanks
are you using a USB 2.0 port? (USB 2.0 is better, sometimes 3.0 ports have issues flashing). have you got drivers installed? but yeah, i think flashing stock fastboot rom via miflash is the way forward... but are the above 2 queries checked 1st?
also, are you using an AMD pc/laptop?
EDIT: are you even using a fastboot miui rom to reflash, or flashing a zip via twrp? again, miflash is best. be sure not to check 'flash all and lock', instead choose flash all and clean
Does your phone show something? Don't reboot your phone. Otherwise you may not be able to get back into Fastboot and instead have a Black Screen.
Try unplugging your phone and just reconnecting it, perhaps restart your PC (but not phone!).
You can also try Linux, that's what I use. Windows gave me problems sometimes. Mi Flash isn't on Linux but you can use the Batch-Scripts directly, that's all what Mi Flash is doing. Just running the Batch-Script file that you select.
Let me know how it goes. If you need more help let me know.
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?
