Hello,
1st.: while starting this new thread, I looked through the automaticly generated similar threads and found non that was suiting my problem.
Last night I unlocked the bootloader of my wifes Xperia L (C2105) and got stuck into an boot loop. After this I had the need to flash an original rom (4.1.2). This results in an total wipe of the phone :crying:
Now the phone has an unlocked bootloader and an old Android Version. I want to install the pacman rom 4.4.4. I know i have to use cwm or twrp to do this, but do I need to root the device?
I'm a little bit confused. I thought installing the *.img-File from TWRP, with the folloing command, will get me the recovery option an with this option
Code:
c:\fastboot\Fastboot.exe flash boot C:\fastboot\openrecovery-twrp-2.8.4.0-taoshan.img
Can anyone help me out?
My wife is not upset, but with the boot loop from last night in my mind, I'm quit unsure what to do next.
many thanks in advanced
Felix
you need to root the device and use flashtool by androxyde(Easier and user friendly), first download the rom and put it in internal/external memory and then install thunderzap 4.12 by select bootkk.img and install it in fastboot mode in flashtool, now enter the recovery go into wipe and format options and choose clean to install a new ROM and then flash the pac rom and reboot
Root isn't necessary.
Download PAC ROM, Take boot.img inside the zip.
Flash boot.img via fastboot.
Boot into recovery, wipe data / factory reset.
Flash ROM and GApps.
That's it
NOP, you dont need to root to install a custom rom

you can download the rom, extract it and keep, boot.img file, in fastboot folder, and also keep the downloaded rom zip file in sd card for later use.
than you can use use fastboot commands to flash those boot.img which will install the recovery into your phone, than .
use reboot command in fastboot, it will reboot your phone, take out your cable, using volume up key go to recovery,
there clear all the cache and delvik cache file, then, install your custom rom by selecting from your sd card, it will take a bit of time for first time, so don't worry,
than you are done,

It's just a softbrick. As long as you can get into fastboot you are ok.
I suggest reflashing the stock jellybean rom. You can download it from the asus website.
As for getting it into your device (i dont know if cwm supprots sd cards yet). You can use the adb push commands or you can flash twrp which supprots flashing from the sd card.
Also next time read the rom thread carefully. It specifically says you should use twrp.
Hey man try this, it works for me (Same situation but i'm 17 xD)
1) Download this http://www.mediafire.com/?5diezc69u1b16f8
2)Extract the "recovery1" folder in C:\ drive
3)Plug the tablet to PC and turn it on while pressing VOL- and POWER, then go to the fastboot mode (is the USB symbol)
4)Download from here ( http://support.asus.com/Download.asp...300T&p=20&s=16 ) the WW of US instead of the version of the tablet you have got, the extract the blob file in the "recovery1" folder
5)Open CMD, type cd c:\recovery1 then press enter
6)Type dir to see if all the files are in the folder
7)type this command fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob
8)After is done, type fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot
9)Enjoy!
If you can't do any of this steps, post here and I will help you
Fixed It!

Hey actually like 10 mins after I posted I was able to install Clean Rom.
I formated every partition except sd card in v6.0.1.2 cwm recovery as well as factory reset and wipe dalvik.
Actually I like cwm recovery better and it does support microsd cards now. This is the jb/touch bootloader.
Thanks for the Help anyways.
.
Same problem, when i try to flash JB Hydro 3.6... i stuck into bootloop... i flash the official asus update and it works... But when i try to flash the hydro rom it doesn't work.... Why?
I guess you have the new JellyBean Bootloader... because of that you can only flash ROM's which are made for it...
.
I know... i update from jb ota to hydro... but when i flash the 3.6 i got bootloop... and now i can flash this rom...
Hey All,
I just got my One XL and I was so excited by the root on 2.20 that I decided to try and flash the custom rom of AOKP on onto it.
After rooting the phone, I did the following:
Flashed TWRP 2.3.1.0 - success
Then I went and saw the thread about the AOKP rom and followed instructions. On that thread, it states that you must flash the boot.img before doing this through fastboot if you are coming forom 2.20 firmware, so I did that. Then I saw that it said on the thread "do not complain about bootlooping if you flashed a custom KERNEL or did not manually flash the stock KERNEL via fastboot" As this was the first custom rom I had attemped with this phone I assumed that I had the stock KERNEL already installed, so I did not flash any kind of kernel.
As soon as I flashed the boot.img from AOKP, I saw that there was red writing on the bootloader about this being for development use only and I noticed that the phone would get past the bootloader to a black screen and then would reboot (boot loop).
I thought that the issue here was that I did not flash the kernel so I went and downloaded the rohan.kernel and flashed that. HOWEVER, I did not realize that I was meant to use recovery to do that and I pushed the boot.img from within the kernel via fastboot instead of using recovery to flash the new kernel (not sure if that matters all that much, but I think that from now on all rom work will be done in the day time after sleeping a little more).
After doing that I see no change in the performance of the phone (it is still boot looping). I am unsure of what to do now. I managed to push the KERNEL zip file and the ROM zip file to the phone via adb but when I try and install them via TWRP I am getting an error because the phone reports that it is unable to mount /sdcard/.
Can one of the far more knowlegable gurus here point me in the right direction? I have wiped the cache and davlik cache numerous times but that has not helped. Should I use TWRP to wipe the system? How can I get the phone back to a place where I can install the new rom?
Thanks!!

First of all I think if you're on 2.2 fw I don't think you can flash kernels through TWRP - I think it has to be through fastboot, I don't know first hand as I'm still on an earlier fw version.
Secondly if you can get into recovery you can flash another rom.
Go to Mount > Mount USB Storage with your phone connected via USB, it should mount as a drive otherwise windows asks you to format format the drive if this happens chances are may have wiped it in bootloader with factory reset or clear storage in either case just format the drive.
You can then drag and drop another rom onto the phone and flash that - remember to extract the boot.img from the rom and flash via fastboot so it will boot.
Goodluck

Hey!
Thanks a ton for your reply! I managed to get the phone to install a new ROM (AOKP V5) and it seems to boot up. Now when I get into that rom, I see all kinds of things crashing on me. The "Settings" app crashes, the keyboard crashes..any idea?
Did you wipe system, factory reset, davlik and cache from within TWRP before flashing?
Try that otherwise if you're still running into issues post in the thread.
You flashed the 11/10 JB gapps?

ok, i got the phone back up now and have been able to flash stuff properly.
I am working on an issue where after flashing a new rom (AOKP v4) and then a new kernel right after (rohan.kernel V2) the rom seems to hang on the loading splash screen. Has anyone else had this happen? Know how to solve it?

Did u wipe everything? (davlik, cache)
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium
Hey guys, thanks for all the previous help i've gotten from here.
Here's the deal, I have a 2.2, rooted and unlocked ATT HOXL. I flashed the SU binary and have root and everything. I'm on the stock 2.2 ROM.
Do you need to install a different ROM before flashing the kernel? If so, then I will wait until this download finished for CleanROM. If not, then continue below..
I flashed the boot.img for ElementalX-3.1 in Fastboot (Fastboot 1.14), rebooted phone like normal, phone came up, kernel is showing in the information page on the phone, it is running at 1.7ghz. That's fine, but then I realized I had never gotten any installer or anything. So, I went into recovery to flash the whole ZIP file. Go to reboot the phone and it hangs on boot after the first HTC logo.
I tried flashing the boot.img, then rebooting to recovery, and flashing the ZIP, then clearing the cache, and then rebooting. Still hangs. I am able to go into recovery and restore a backup if I need to, so at least my phone isn't dead, but I want to do this.
I also tried installing the ZIP, then rebooting into Fastboot and flashing the img, and then booting the phone up normal.
So as it sits now, I have the Kernel installed from ONLY the boot.img, I did not run the ZIP.
Do I need to flash a stock kernel in Fastboot, and then try just flashing the whole thing in TWRP? From what I have read, the steps for flashing the kernel on 1.14 is:
1. Flash boot.img
2. Reboot to recovery
3. Flash ZIP
4. Clear cache
5. Reboot phone as normal
Are those the correct steps? Do I need to flash a stock kernel before trying this again, or can I just start from square one, as if I were using a stock kernel?
Thanks
You can't flash kernels from recovery on the higher hboot. You have to fastboot them or use the flash image GUI app.
Some ROMs/kernels use a script that works around that, but not all do.
Hallo,
I have a problem. I flashed newest TWRP 2.8.7.1 (I also tried 2.8.7.0) onmy Mi4C and installed some ROMS (sMiUI, Decato, CM12.1) but even if flash of TWRPs and installation of ROMS was successful without error, the device is always booting into Recovery/TWRP.
So problem is that device is not starting into system!
- I tried with power button reset
- I tried with "reboot to system"
- I tried with battery removal!
- I also tried new installation of TWRP and/or several ROMS. (e.g. sideloading ADP is also working)
- I also made some (full) WIPEs / Fix Permissions
but it is always starting only to TWRP.
After device is starting, MUI-symbol appears for 5-10 seconds and then TWRP is loading, but not ROM.
What can I do? Maybe installation a new Kernel or something?
thanks in advance,
Jimmy

Download fastboot rom and flash it
thank you that worked..
but I have still the problem when I flash several versions of TWRP, that a reboot/start of the system will always end up within the recovery.
Only a a reflash of fastboot rom helps, but then I have the old mi recovery that does not work for other ROMs :/
a strange behaviour.
So I can flash TWRP, but it is not possible to boot into the system...
Without a newer TWRP that can "boot into system" I cannot use Custom ROMS

Hallo,
I used some manuals for flashing.
e.g.
en.miui.com/thread-166465-1-1.html
gammerson.com/2015/10/install-twrp-recovery-mi4c-root-it.html
+ some manuals from decuro rom and sMiUI Rom
In summary:
1. Pre steps: Download USB & Adb drivers / Download TWRP Recovery 2.8.7.0 for Xiaomi Mi4C / I also tried 2.8.7.1
2. Flashing: Boot phone into fastboot --> Connect phone with USB (I tried before and after boot to fastboot) --> CMD --> "fastboot flash recovery" <recovery-name>.img
3. After successful flash of 40-50 MB TWRP recovery I tried CMD "fastboot reboot" / I tried also without reboot command (with Vol+ & Power) / I tried also only with power button
Always system boots to TWRP recovery.
When I choose ROM afterwards with new TWRP recovery and flash it, it says successful installed, but reboot does not start to ROM
At the moment I always do fastboot rom reflash, that old system will come back and work. Flashing ROMS with old system (via updater app and old Miui recovery) is not working, it is always update error, even if I rename ROM to "update.zip".
What I never did rooting the phone, so flashify says "device not rooted". I do not know If I have to root, I assume not. I do not want root, because I will use a company app that needs an unrooted phone.
thanks,
Jimmy

I have had the same issue, and read somewhere that it is because you tried flashing a rom in stock recovery and failed, that causes recovery bootloop. I was in same position other than i erased most og my partitions except recovery, and then installed fastboot rom, and it was all good again. Not saying ypu should erase any partitions! Rather not try and flash anything in stock recovery ever.

Thank you for your answer.
So I can do:
1. Wipe all data (it is the only option in recovery)
2. Re-flash fastboot rom
3. Try again to flash new recovery & install custom ROM
Is that correct?
What partition can I securely erase? and how? because erase is only possible with newer Recovery.

I would clean install fastboot rom, and then install the latest recovery, and try to install a rom. All from buttom so you know exactly what you have done
I accidentaly erased my partitions with fastboot. Data, boot, and internal ? I think. Would not recomend it.
Sorry, what exaclty is a fastboot rom and where do i get it?

I don't know what happens all the time.
Currently I used MiFlash to make a clean fastboot install. I choosed in MiFlash "flash_all.bat" to do it. (flash_all.bat means everything was reinstalled, also recovery.img). Afterwards everything was normal, MiRecovery 2.x and Mi4C MiUI 7 chinese version was installed without error. But after manual flashing TWRP with "fastboot flash recovery xxx", the recovery loop was again! :/
So AGAIN I made a clean fastboot install again with MiFlash application, but this time I REPLACED the recovery.img with the newest TWRP (renamed to recovery.img) within the fastboot rom installation folder "images". I could see that MiFlash flashed THIS! recovery.img, but after that again the old Mi Recovery was on the device and no TWRP. But why? I replaced the original recovery.img file! How can that happen?
The flash_all.bat included flashing recovery and I could confirm it during the fastboot flash. Strange.
I used fastboot rom libra_images_V7.0.16.0.LXKCNCI_20151104.0000.4_5.1_cn
MiFlash newest version and I tried with 2 TWRP versions (one from decuro and one from sMiUI)
Maybe my phone has a problem with flahing recoverys in general I don't know.

it sound very strange i did all these steps and my phone was all good after it. is it the newest recovery? the one with material theme and touch fix you are using? if not, then thats the only difference between your procedure and mine :/
i hope you can fix it
Edit: I can see that i have the following fastboot roms downloaded, so i used one of these:
libra_images_V7.0.6.0.LXKCNCI_20150917.0000.1_5.1_cn_4dd76a55cb.tgz
or libra_images_V7.0.15.0.LXKCNCI_20151104.0000.4_5.1_cn_f6e955ee14.tgz
What I would do, is fastboot original ROM, reboot to recovery, factory reset, recboot to fastboot to re-flash TWRP and then command "fastboot boot recovery" to get to TWRP and install your ROM.
Didn't has this pb on Mi4c, but had it a few times on Nexus5.
Hope this helps...
Hello, don't know if applicable. I've read on mi forums that dev Roms need dev recovery, that's different from twrp for stock rom.....

Hallo,
thank you, that worked for me finally
I have now used another TWRP 2.8.7.1 with touch-issue, but that is now no problem.
I flashed also xiaomi.eu rom, for now seems to be stable and cleaned.
strange everything, but now it is fixed.
BR,
Jimmy
Hello everyone,
First of all, rom and recovery are not from me... I just want to make a full guide to help you
So let's go !!!!!
1 step: unlock bootloader
https://en.miui.com/unlock/
BE CAREFUL unlocking your bootloader will erase all your data (internal storage) so don't forget to make a backup
2 step: flash twrp recovery
Download the recovery image from here
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-1CSfT4lQwFZngu6RI9eowLA9CmEMEPw/view?usp=drivesdk
Be sure to have adb and fastboot tools on your computer ... If not take a look at here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
Past TWRP_umi.img on minimal adb and fastboot directory.
Open a cmd here.
Enable usb debugging on your device
Reboot your phone on bootloader (hold volume down + power), connect it to PC and tape:
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery TWRP_umi.img
Then tape fastboot reboot while holding volume up button on your devices to reboot in recovery
3 step:
At the first launch of Twrp You have to choose SWIPE TO ALLOW MODIFICATION
4 step:
THIS ONE OF THE MUST IMPORTANT STEP
In twrp menu you have to go in Wipe data on choose format data
Otherwise the ROM will not boot.
5 step:
Reboot into recovery from twrp.
6 step:
Connect your phone to your PC and paste the xiaomi.eu ROM of your choice (stable or Dev)
7 step:
Flash ROM from recovery
8 step:
REBOOT AND ENJOY :good::good::good:
Does Xiaomi EU Rom run either on encrypted and unencrypted storage?
I cant get this to work, ive been trying everything for hours. I am sure i am missing something stupid but if anyone has any new ideas please let me know. I unlocked my device today, flashed twrp via fastboot, rebooted to recovery, formatted data then went on to install xiaomi eu rom. Ever since trying this, i am constantly booting into recovery or hitting a boot loop. i have formatted data more times than i care to think of ha ha. ive tried flashing the latest fastboot rom via mi unlock tool to do a fresh start but keep getting ''flash crclist error". Ive also tried flashing miui stock via twrp and it also, doesn't boot. ive tried many combinations in between. My next option is to try the fastboot global rom (though i believe i have a chinese device), i am waiting for it to download. If anyone knows what i am doing wrong i will be eternally grateful if you can tell me what it is. I'm so frustrated, been flashing roms for years, never had anything take as long as this :crying:

If anyone knows what i am doing wrong i will be eternally grateful if you can tell me what it is. I'm so frustrated, been flashing roms for years, never had anything take as long as this :crying:

Thanks everyone, i think it must have been something to do with the qualcomm drivers installed incorrectly. i have re-done that from scratch and managed to get mi flash tool working. Sorry to waste everyones time.
Greetings
I have followed the tutorials to perfection like 2-3 times and I still face the same issue
I always go back to TWRP after trying to boot into system.
I have tried 2 different recovery files
The experimental one asks for a password. and the other one works but keeps going back to recovery after flashing.
MIUI 11 rom
MIUI 12 rom
No matter what I do It keeps going back to recovery.
It's my only device so I truly need help.
I have tried re installing everything already.
At this point I just want to install stock rom and keep using it without flashing anything please help.
PHONE FINALLY REBOOTING INTO SYSTEM. I myself don't know what i did!!!
Bootloop (stuck on 5G logo) after flashing Xiaomi.eu ROM
Dear fellow XDA-dev community members,
Xiaomi Mi 10 (umi), coming from original stock ROM, MIUI 11 GLOBAL version V11.0.2.0.QJBMIXM.
Bootloader unlocked official way via MiFlash Unlock 4.5.514.47.
Custom recovery TWRP 3.4.1b-0313 installed via XiaoMiTool V2.
Tested root by installing Magisk 20.3 via TWRP, no problem, then updating to Magisk 20.4 with the Magisk Manager 7.5.1.
The problems started when I tried to install Xiaomi.eu Custom ROM : xiaomi.eu_multi_MI10_V11.0.25.0.QJBCNXM_v11-10
Downloaded the Xiaomi.eu ROM to PC, then copied to the Download folder of the Phone.
Started phone in upload mode or TWRP. > Wipe > Swipe to Factory Reset + Format Data.
When formatting data I erase all folders in the phone, including the Xiaomi.eu ROM copied in the Download folder.
Some tutorials suggest to copy the Xiaomi.eu ROM from PC to phone after formatting the data, just by connecting the phone in TWRP to the PC, by going to > Mount and enabling MTP.
Tried this method but when I send the Xiaomi.eu ROM file to the phone the progress bas doesn’t move.
So I restarted the phone, without installing the Custom ROM, went through all the screens of initial phone configuration. Lost Magisk and root (but I supposed that it’s not mandatory to install Custom ROM). Copied again the Xiaomi.eu ROM zip file to the Download folder. Rebooted to TWRP. This time I just did Factory Reset but without Format Data. Then > Install to install the Xiaomi.eu new ROM. Cleared Dalvik Cache then reboot.
PROBLEM : bootloop. Stuck with the 5G logo forever, waited more than 30 min, no change.
Still have access to recovery TWRP and to bootloader mode. I suppose this is a soft brick?
I did > Wipe, Swipe to Factory Reset + Format Data, restarted… no change.
Copied this time the Xiaomi.eu ROM to a clean formatted (FAT32) USB drive. As shown in some tutorials, you can us an external USB drive via USB OTG to install the Custom ROM via TWRP.
Factory Reset + Format Data, then I installed again the same Xiaomi.eu ROM from the external USB. Still stuck in bootloop.
Please I need help to fix the problem
I’m not an expert developer, but I’m not a complete noob either.
This is the first time I have troubles with a brand new Xiaomi Phone.
It’s the first time I get a very expensive phone, but had no choice (they are getting very expensive), because I always buy a Flagship Xiaomi to get all the community support possible.
And I had to change the ROM to Xiaomi.eu, because the Official Global ROM is full of bloatware I had a good experience with Xiaomi.eu ROMs with my old Xiaomi Mi 4 and Mi 5.
At this point I don’t mind going back to stock MIUI Global ROM.
I suppose that with access to boot loader I can flash the Official ROM from PC with MiFlash2020-3-14-0? If it’s the case can somebody show me detailed steps to do that?
For Mi 10 Official Global there is the Stable Full ROM (miui_UMIGlobal_V11.0.2.0.QJBMIXM_4f986c08cb_10.0 ) (2.45 GB) and Stable ROM (umi_global_images_V11.0.2.0.QJBMIXM_20200328.0000.00_10.0_global_09b168ff9e) (3.76 GB). Which One to flash from PC with MiFlash?
I can’t afford to hard brick the device
Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for your quick reply.
I followed precisely your instructions. I was able to copy de ROM zip file from PC to the phone (the transfer bas went smoothly, as opposite as before).
IT WORKED properly like a charm!!!

Hello,
i have a silly question about step 4:
someone says we should "Wipe Data", someone says we should "Format Data" ,
i don't see a real difference unless we want to change the filesystem type.
Advices ?
And also, when we format ( or wipe ) the "Data" partition, are we formatting the 256 GB partition ?
if yes, this is a really huge drawback for us who want to change ROM more frequently than other android users, because we have to backup a 256 GB partition ...
This is not fast to do online ( at least with my poor connection ) and it is not fast to do on PC or on a USB KEY.
So we have 256 GB and we need to format at each ROM change ? Too bad ...
In the good old times i did extract my microSD card and i was safe .
Someone could explain me please ?
thank you all for your patience...

Hello,
You have to format data the first time you flash xiaomi.eu rom because their rom is base on Chinese firmware (if you don't or just wipe it will not boot)
Each time you will flash a rom with different base (from Chinese base to global base or global to Chinese) you will have to format data !!
You format data to remove encryption.

Stuck without solutions
Hello,
I tried to flash the latest miui 12. I followed all the steps...
But now I can't acess recovery nor rom.
Basically when i try to flash TWRP with bootloader it just goes back to fastboot.
Also note that the flash is successful. But I somehow can't acess TWRP, just goes back to fastboot
And when I flash the experimental TWRP on the dev thread it boots to recovery but asks for a password.. Impossible to flash anything.. Even after I formated data and everything
I tried flashing other TWRP I found but nothing boots even after trying a lot of time.
I tried <fastboot boot recovery.img> as well
I tried <fastboot erase recovery> and then flash the TWRP as well
I've been trying hard for the last 8 hours.
I also have a backup of when I had MIUI 12. But impossible to flash it with the only recovery I can boot to.
I feel so desperate. I'm out of ideas.
If you have any ideas, I'm listening
Thanks for the help guys.
