Hello guys, I recently formatted data on my phone to fix a bootloop I had. After fixing everything, SIM card and wifi was not working, I downloaded the Official Stock ROM of my phone and flashed bluetooth, modem, dsp and dtbo. The original plan was to run "flash_all_except_storage.bat" but that kept throwing errors. After I flashed those things I booted successfully and unlocked my phone. Problem is Wifi still doesn't work. So once again got into fastboot, tried running "flash_all_except_storage.bat", once again it threw an error, so I restarted my phone and ever since I can't boot into system. Whenever I restart it goes straight into fastboot, Power off and on again goes to fastboot, I can boot into TWRP, rebooting from there still goes into fastboot mode. I fix a problem and 2 more take it's place, I really need your help here.
Thanks a lot !
Edit:
Fix Attempt 1 (FAILED): I tried formating data through TWRP as I read online, it did not work
Attempt 2 (FAILED): Used
Code:
fastboot continue
and got this error:
Code:
Resuming boot FAILED (remote: 'Failed to load image from partition: No Media')
fastboot: error: Command failed
Attempt 3 (HALF FIX): After some digging I realized after a failed attempt to run "flash_all_except_storage.bat", the boot was erased. I tried flashing only the boot.img and the phone booted up with the wifi working as well. Problem is after a reboot I go back into fastboot and I have to flash boot.img again to boot into system.

Maybe is some motherboard issues?
I don't believe so. The problem I originally had was that after a restart the phone was booting into fastboot. But if I didn't restart the phone was working fine, cellular, wifi google services everything. So in order to fix that I flashed the full stock rom and that's how I ended up in the restart loop in the first place.

There is no volume buttons problem?
If no maybe you should reflash whole phone, fastboot, recovery, all, using edl ig.... I don't have this phone or any Snapdragon phone, so I don't really know....
Yeah I did, I used the flash_all.bat that comes with the ROM file and pretty much replaced everything. I tried to run it a couple of times and it failed mostly but I was able to run it twice I think (without changing anything, just running it again and again at some point it worked)

So then why your phone goes to fastboot?
I really don't know, after running flash_all the second time now my phone is stuck in a restart loop. Shows the MI logo and restarts. I can manually boot to recovery or fastboot but if I leave it on it's own it keeps turning on and off

It seems that this a software bug ig, can you try go to recovery and flash the rom?
I could try but I am not sure how to do that. My rom comes in a .tgz format and not .zip and all guides mention you need a .zip file

So where u downloaded the fastboot rom, there is a recovery rom too :
Xiaomi Firmware Updater
The ultimate script that provides firmware packages for Xiaomi devices.
xiaomifirmwareupdater.com
Be sure u download the recovery rom not fastboot.
Btw use your miui version u had
Tho I'm not 100% sure if you flashed the fastboot rom correctly, did u :
1. Open MiFlashTool : download the tool from here if you don't have it ---> https://xiaomiflashtool.com/
2. Select your rom ( make sure your path to the rom isn't long and the folder/folders don't have long names )
3. Connect your phone
4. Click Refresh ( to make your device appear)
5. And click flash
I didn't do it with MiFlashTool because it kept throwing errors at me whenever I launched it so I tried the flash_all.bat batch file that runs cmd commands and flashes everything. the ROM I installed was the fastboot version. The official website on the recovery ROM stated that "This page shows a single update only" so I assumed it's just an update and not the full ROM. I was also told I should use the fastboot variant in the above mentioned thread

Ok so to fix the error : go to miflashtool folder and create a new folder called : log
Fixed the start up error, I get the screen that says "Please install driver", I press Install and I get this:
https://prnt.sc/I53g6bs_8i5w
Pressing ok gets me back to the "Please install driver" screen
Well I just closed the Install driver window and flashed as is, I got this:
https://prnt.sc/Bk2eaj9w5Lq7 so presumably it failed but my devices rebooted and is now on system set up
Edit:
3 reboots later and phone still boots fine to system

flashing miui_APOLLOEEAGlobal_V12.5.4.0.RJDEUXM_451a2324af_11.0.zip from stock recovery is good idea, you can do this from MicroSD card to circumvent any usb issues you are obviously facing on fastboot.

This error is normal since you are not re-locking the bootloader.
If some functions are inoperative.
Try to flash the same rom (fastboot) that you had when you bought the phone, probably an A11.
Use clean all(flash_all.bat).

okay so heres what happened.
I have an international htc one x that is indeed rooted with no roms installed.
I did create a back up and then tried to install the MIUI rom (but I dont really know where that is on my phone. I know I made one with rom manager. I dont have any backups on my computer though)
It worked, however, it didnt have wifi or data signals so i went back to try again.
I opened my bootloader screen. For the record, it is unlocked and hboot is version 1.73 if that helps.
I wiped cashe/data/delvic everything and even factory reset and installed the MIUI RD rom now hoping it would have a difference.
The darn thing got stuck on the MIUI bootloader for hours.
I did the same thing again a few times, sometimes in different orders and then it passed on and another screen came saying 'starting apps'. That got stuck for hours too.
Now I don't have any other roms on my phone, just the MIUI RD. The original miui just vanished too, i dont see it anymore. Also, when I put my USB wire to the phone and connect it to the pc, I cant transfer newer files into it. So this is all I have access to on my phone apparently.
I tried flashing a boot.img and a couple kernels but no luck. I've been trying to do this for all day and this is my first time so I don't know much about it.
I've been googling and somethings say to open cmd and type but i keep getting 'fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command'
Currently, its not stuck at either the MIUI screen or the Starting Apps. but just the HTC logo screen and not going past.
I don't really want to install any new roms considering i've worked really hard to get this to work and I really want it now more so.
How do i fix this? I want to use this rom.
flash philz recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240646), usb mounting should work on that, then:
steps to install ROM
1. bootloader version should be 1.3x
2. copy ROM to SD Card
3. copy boot.img INCLUDED in the ROM zip to fastboot folder
4. flash the boot.img in fastboot
5. in recovery, wipe system/data/cache/everything
6. flash rom
7. restart
but how exactly do i put it on my phone? my computer isnt detecting my phone when i connect it? im sorry im not exactly an expert on this.
Go to recovery - mounts and storage - hook up the usb cable - tap the last option in the mounts and storage list and wait a few minutes. It won't be mounted instantly
ok i flashed the philtz recovery but when i flash the boot.img it says:
Finding update package
Opening update package
Installing update
installation aborted
for reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957490
thats the rom i used and i flashed the boot.img flasher thats right above the download link
edit: also i tried just flashing the rom again and im still stuck on the HTC screen.
its not even going to the miui screen or starting apps anymore. :[
Boot.img must be flashed via fastboot. Not via recovery !
ok, i looked up how to fastboot, downloaded sdk files and i moved the boot.img into the fastboot folder and i opened command prompt there and wrote fastboot flash boot boot.img but i keep getting:
'fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command'
what did i miss?
EDIT: ok, so the fastboot folder i got from the page didnt work so i used a different fastboot folder, dragged the .boot there and now it worked! finally passed the screen and wifi is connecting!
thank you!
Good, thanks to @tomascus. He summed it up real nice
Cheers
TL;DR: After rebooting to slot b with TWRP following a failed LineageOS flash, my XA2's screen is broken: showing only flashing vertical lines. This problem persists after an attempted reversion to stock firmware and software using Emma.
Apologies for the long post, but I'm at a total loss even after a lot of reading, and would appreciate any suggestions to turn this £180 paperweight back into a phone. I'm not trying to blame the LineageOS or TWRP teams here; any error is my own
What I've done to install TWRP on my XA2:
Installed the newest system updates (including an update to Android 9)
Unlocked the bootloader
Enabled developer options and USB debugging
Installed TWRP as per the instructions on TWRP's XA2 page (i.e.: not flashing TWRP using fastboot)
Happily rebooted into fully-functional TWRP
I then tried to flash LineageOS using TWRP:
Formatted data
Wiped system, cache, and internal storage partitions
Attempted to flash LineageOS (lineage-16.0-20190916-nightly-pioneer-signed.zip)
Flash failed with "ERROR: 1"; "Error applying Update: 18 (ErrorCode:: kdownloadPayloadPubKeyVerificationError)"
After some reading I found a post which suggested rebooting into slot b to fix this problem
Used TWRP to reboot into slot b
Screen is now glitching: flashing vertical lines on a black background; Sony splashscreen doesn't show during boot, nor does the unlocked bootloader screen
Here's what I've tried to fix it:
Flashed stock firmware, and then software, using Emma (which showed both operations as being successful)
Attempted to reboot to slot a using fastboot
The current state of the device:
Broken screen showing only flashing lines and colours (no splashscreens)
Boots to voice-assisted setup (!?) despite the broken screen. From what voice assist is saying, there seems to be a system there (e.g.: I can take screenshots)
Can be powered on and off, and put into flash mode (green LED)
Is still recognised by (and can be controlled using) fastboot
Thanks for reading. Any help is much appreciated
Update: I've tried using Newflash to flash stock firmware downloaded via Xperifirm.
The operation complete successfully, and the device boots (thankfully not to voice-assisted setup), but the screen is still broken, as described in my OP.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Alright, on the off-chance that anyone comes here with the same problem (i.e.: XA2, broken screen), I seem to have fixed it by:
Powering off the device
Putting it into flash mode (green LED)
Fastbooting a special TWRP .img with "fastboot boot /path/to/twrp.img"
Rebooting the device normally
I have no idea whether my previous step of using Newflash is a dependency of this working, or whether it works on its own
Now my screen works again, but every attempt to flash LineageOS zips with TWRP fails as described in my OP:
Error applying update: 18 (ErrorCode: : kDownloadPayloadPubKeyVerificationError )
Updater process ended with ERROR: 1
Error installing zip file
This happens:
With several different nightly pioneer builds
With several different versions of TWRP
Trying to flash the .zip from SD card
Trying to adb push the .zip
Trying to flash from the fastboot booted .img
Trying to flash from different versions of the TWRP .zip, flashed from the fastboot booted .img
Despite having already flashed the older firmware version (50.1.A.13)
So I am again at a loss

Interesting; I encountered the error using either twrp-3.3.1-1.img alone, or using twrp-3.3.1-1 to flash twrp-install-pioneer-3.2.2-0.zip
I've also tried various combinations of twrp.img and twrp.zip, but to no avail.
This was despite: flashing the Oreo firmware to both slots, formatting data, and wiping the system partitions.
Is there something I'm missing? Following the guide you kindly linked, everything works, until step 22 when I encounter this error and can't flash lineage.

I'll try again in a week or so (I'm away from home for a while) and if I get it working I'll post the solution here.
got unlucky (or dumb) during an attempt to install pixel experience. something like a detective story
firstly i wrote vbmeta and twrp. ive got smth like a fastboot loop. i used different twrp and it booted into it well. tho noticed that the folders in "install" menu turned into something you get when you fall asleep on a keyboard (names like "303ujdw09ejcf09ejf"). the phone memory was inaccessible from pc.
so i wiped internal memory and it got fine. except the inability to mount system and stuff. trying to flash a room gave me errors like "failed to mount /system (np such directory)" etc.
then i tried different twrp build and it worked well and i even managed to flash pixel experience 12.
formatted and was happy as never. pressed a button to load into sys. but it took me to fastboot where it was reloading itself infinitely. an attempt to load into recovery gave me a twrp logo flickering screen.
i feel like there’s a tiny stupid mistake that i make
btw sorry for my partial incompetence. im much more of a front end dev rather then that deep end stuff
i woulld be very thankful for any reply, the whole situation gives such a frustration and sadness
the original stystem was RMX2063_11_A.51
then i maneged to upgrade to PixelExperience_RMX2061-12.0-20220121-1131-UNOFFICIAL
but now i only have the flickering screen with twrp logo

Flash the ROM.
Good Day All, I've seen a few thread regarding this but nothing stating what causes it to happen. Can anyone provide any insight?
I was about to perform a reflash of my rom but didn't even reach that far.
I restarted phone to recovery
Was going flash a firmware before the rom flash but decided to switch from slot a to b cuz i wasn't sure if the firmware is a global thing or per slot
Changed slots and restarted to recovery
Noticed no prompt for decryption key and my data/media was gone.
Changed slots again without doing anything and restarted (TWRP prompted no OS found)
After the recovery started again no prompt for decryption key again and no data
Figured twrp loaded badly or something. Restarted to recovery one more time
Phone did not boot to recovery. Keep bootlooping to fastboot
Attempted to reflash TWRP when I encounted the error "Failed to load/authenticate boot image"
After a quick google the solution seemed to be the flash over the stock rom via miflash and start over which I unfortunately did
While the solution worked. Does anyone have any clue why this might've happened so I can avoid it in the future? I don't think the Rom matters but I was running Arrow-v12.1-alioth-OFFICIAL-20220819-VANILLA.zip and the recommended firmware V13.0.4.0.SKHMIXM
Hi everyone,
maybe someone here might help me. I was on bliss rom and my phone suddenly froze yesterday.
And oh boy did that started a very long day of messing with miflash tool and twrp.
The situation right now is like this,
I have full access to TWRP, and fastboot and mi flash tool.
I tried flashing stock rom with mi flash, got success with no error and yet still stuck in frozen POCO logo.
Tried flashing with TWRP couple of ROMs with correct fw and still got POCO logo stuck.
Tried sideloading with adb some ROMs and same results, stuck on POCO logo.
Also tried to use flash_all bat without mi flash tool, and it boots me to MIUI recovery...
I can always come back to fastboot and boot to TWRP and tried miflashtool many time , I always result in success (0) but nothing works...
Is there anything I'm missing?
Of course I waited at least half an hour every time on POCO logo beacuse I know It can take some time for first boot but nothing happens, If I had to guess is there a possibility that the Storage it self in the phone is broken?

Did you format the data partition at all while doing this? If not, then try running "fastboot -w" while in bootloader mode.

Hmmm ... that shouldn't happen. You may have a hardware problem.
Try booting to recovery and formatting data from there. If that doesn't work either, then I have no other suggestions.

Hi,
just a thought,
I have been in a situation were Miui stock would not complete it`s installation, I don`t use MIflash tool, i found a tip that involved moving the ADB flies from Miflash and put them into the Miui fastboot stock rom folder and move the re-named folder to my C: Drive.
After some panicking i tried my old faithful a "Xiaomi.eu Fastboot rom", i installed it from fastboot, it completed as it should and i carried on where i left off, flashing custom roms,
its worth a try
i do the same

thanks for the answer, in my situation miui stock completes the installation successfully with a beautiful green success in miflashtool and yet I'm still stuck at the POCO logo till botting itself to MIUI recovery.
regardless I tried your advice and no luck
I have tried a couple more things, I flashed with locking the bootloader the oldest MIUI ROM I found on the archive, of course no luck, still stuck on POCO logo and as always somehow, I'm able to boot into fastboot so unlocked the bootloader again and tried a xieomi.eu rom without mi flash tool with the .bat file and flash_all.
same result, no luck
I'm starting to think it might really be a hardware issue, yet I'm baffled at how the phone was working perfectly fine and suddenly froze while i was using it and started bootlooping which started this whole mess.

If possible try gsi builds to boot bro it may boot directly to system
Try flashing different Fastboot stock Roms using miflash, don't use just one version, try only without locking the bootloader, probably it is a boot partition error, you just need to find the right one, also use a different miflash version (older ones seem to be more stable)
I have just read one of your recent comments, it seems like e miflash problem, flashing with lock must lock the bootloader, try using known versions especially older ones
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
Jk.
First of, which twrp Version are you using? You should try the latest skkk versions. https://sourceforge.net/projects/recovery-for-xiaomi-devices/files/alioth/
Are you sure that you have full twrp storage access? If you boot into twrp, how big is your internal storage, as seen from twrp? Does it show 0?
I had this error once, couldnt flash anything anymore because twrp couldnt handle some encryption and needed to reformat the internal storage to ext2, then back to ext4 again. Then the storage was readable and writable again.
Encryption can be a weird, just like A/B partitioning.
Make sure to use the latest version of MIUI for your specific region.
A.k.a. the exact version of MIUI that your phone shipped with, but use the latest version of it.
And don't download from a weird third party website.
I think the official site is mi.com (but you'll have to google the exact link).
Otherwise, my go-to for MIUI ROMs is xiaomifirmwareupdater.com
