Help needed. Bootlooped into recovery - Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers

Good day,
Help is needed..
I flashed TWRP on the phone since it was not long ago updated to version 10.3 (China).
It flashed well (without errors).
The reboot was successful. No data was lost.
In the morning I decided to check the email, turned on the WIFI, and it went off after 2-3 seconds (everything was OK in the evening, it worked like usually). I thought that restarting the phone would fix the flaw, but alas, I was stuck in BOOTLOOP. Starts with the Mi. LOGO, then goes out, then shows again and goes into Recovery. Recovery runs. All data can be accessed. Restarting is possible only into RECOVERY and FASTBOOT.
What could be the snag here and how to solve it?
P.S. Have tried 'dirty flashing' 10.3 and 10.2 versions from TWRP, changing the kernel (androplus 7-9), reflashing Magisk (recommended by some users on a russian forum), recovering the boot.img (since it it the only recovery I have got).. All that to no avail.
Bootloader was always unlocked since I bought it and rooted. It was MIUI v10.0 then.
MI MIX 3 8/256
Stable 10.3 Chinese ROM with twrp (10.2 before update, with root and twrp)
Had no root but unlocked bootloader

Back up, wipe, flash, restore

Ok. That was the one thing I tried to avoid, since my backup is 27G (nandroid) and internal storage is 133G..
Will try and feedback.

Hi all,
Got it back again, of course with all data and apps gone. I have done nandroid backups (since there is no other way of backing things up from TWRP, except copying everything) from recovery before starting the upper described process. I figure they are of no use to me now or are they?
Please advise

P.S. restoring from nandroids brought me back to square 1..

Something not right with your data so start over

Restarted, redone. Recovered only Data. Looks ok but works a little laggy..
Upd.: needed to set up the screen lock after had done that and a restart, all works like it was, except with a new OS version

Install TWRP from xiaomi.eu, the official one from here seems to be a lot more buggy.

I took it from twrp themselves, not bothering to search any forums. It's not like digging for gold or the like
Upd.:
I read that the official TWRP doesn't support some mounts migrating from EU to global or CN-->EU V Global. It was discovered that it has some bugs with mounting paths. People recommend the LR Team TWRP over the official because of that, besides it has more options under Advanced tab e.g.
Personally I prefer the one that does the job for the moment and is the latest, so it was an easy choice for me ? especially installing a fresh OS update.

Device can't work under omni/cm 4.4.4 for some reason

Okay I've got this weird problem since updated to awesome recovery/kernel. Whenever there is CM/Omni involved, my phone starts acting weird. Okay, listen to this.
First of all, everything seems normal after clean install. Then I install some of urgent apps (total commander, whatsapp - that's all). After a day or two my phone starts to act weird - it's rebooting itself and bootloops. I turn it off and on again - boots to os, then after a few minutes another reboot into bootloop. Okay... I thought it was because I didn't have the ext4 partition. Formatted into ext4 from recovery, installed Omniroom from 2 sept. and suprisingly it went good for two days! I installed some more apps and used it regularly - but it happend again. Reboot, bootloop, manualy reboot, worked fine for a minute, another reboot into bootloop. I thought that my SD card was damaged. h2testw claimed that it was perfectly fine. Now I wanted to install some stock 2.3.5 into it... I couldn't even pass the HTC screen because it keept rebooting itself...
Tell me what can I do to make this piece of... functional again? I ordered new phone, but it will arrive within next 14 days at best, and I still need the functioning android phone. Any advice, help is appreciate: links to a flashable stock roms, links to a fucntioning omni/cm rooms, any help on how to install them... thanks in advance

if you want to install older roms or stock you`ll need to fastboot an older recovery check this out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415223 you only need to do PART 3 : Add a Recovery section
now you should be able to flash non-aw3som3 roms cm10 RC2 and below/ICS/Jellybean/Stock jaggyjags roms either way will get a functioning phone back for you, remember to wipe everything apart from sdcard once in recovery then install whichever rom

You don't give much detail as to what happened or what you were doing prior to your bootlooping. I suffered from a bootloop that took me several months to finally resolve on the very device I'm responding to you with. I was able to resolve it by installing the latest Oxygen OS from the OPO forums. I followed the directions exactly, then after booting into Oxygen it turned out that my WiFi and Bluetooth were refusing to turn on. After several attempts and force close reboots I was able to get them to function. Then I reinstalled TWRP, then flashed CMOS12, then finally CM which I'm using now. BTW for more detail look for my post about it in this forum. Hope this helps.

Do you have a backup? try restoring just the system and the data of your backup.. i used to flash the boot too but as far as i know flashing boot doesn't solve the issue (still bootloop-ing). if you are still in bootloop and really have no idea, try consider a full reset of your phone (all except your custom recovery, ofc) and flash a new flashable.zip rom.. (data+media also wiped) you can always copy files to your phone while in recovery by mounting a usb drive, in case you don't have a zip on your phone. of course, this is not the solution, and is not recommended, but take this as your last choice if any other method didn't work
hope it helps!

I dont have a backup, so i also tried yet everything you said. I dont have to save datas, so i flashed everything new, but still dont work. I also tried to flash everything from oneplusrecoverytool that in any difficult situations helped me, but in this case it did not worked. Is there any radical solution to get this Phone working? (i can install twrp and reach fastboot, but after installing something, it's always in bootloop. ?
i have the same problem , don't know what to do , i even used the tool to return to stock
maybe an overheat problem? i don't know
Gentlemen, please try the method I suggested above in my response. Go to the OPO forums and follow the procedure to switch to Oxygen OS exactly as they lay out. As long as you're unlocked and can get to the bootloader and recovery you aren't hard-bricked and will be able to eventually fix your handsets. I know from personal experience, because as I mentioned this device was hopelessly stuck in a bootloop for months before I was able to get it running again. Do a search for my previous post for instruction and as I said follow the guide to installing Oxygen to the letter. More than likely you've got several corrupt partitions and this method will resolve it. Once you've got your handset successfully running again on Oxygen you can then begin to flash other ROMs with no issues. For some reason the Oxygen OS is more robust in that it will boot up when there are issues with these corrupted partitions when CM based ROMs won't. I believe the title of my previous post was "hopelessly stuck in bootloop (solved)". I hope this helps.

TWRP Freezes on 1st instal

I have asked on a few threads including the TWRP thread but no one seems to be answering for some reason so I thought I'd risk putting up a separate post to try and get an answer.
I followed the instructions to the letter on how to install TWRP from the thread and it installed all ok, the only problem is that the screen is totally frozen and there is nothing I can do to get it to work. I have now gone back to Oreo via Odin until I can get help on what's gone wrong. Would it make a difference if I tried from Nougut 7.0?
I have rooted and installed roms, TWRP's pretty often last year with my M10, M8 etc so I'm not that new to this but it's got me foxed this time.
Good question. I had an issue after installing CarHDROM, v9 for a bit where I could get into TWRP, but the phone would boot loop getting out of TWRP and I had a hard time getting back into recovery or download mode.
I re-flashed the phone and TWRP as well, and after that all was well. I did not change anything on the re-flash.
Sometimes things just get mux'ed.

Question Bootloop after 12.5.5.0 OTA (with OrangeFox recovery)

Unfortunately, I have a problem. My phone was on the power cord overnight and pulled the latest update (EEA 12.5.5.0 Enhanced). It was then booted into OrangeFox (OrangeFox recovery with OTA support) and waited for my OK. I didn't think anything of it and didn't make a backup either, as I assumed that everything would go smoothly like the last update.
The update then went on, but there was probably an error, because now I have a bootloop (yellow Poco lettering for about 2 seconds). I can't use an old backup because I'm abroad right now and I don't want to lose the apps I've already set up (pandemic, tracking apps, certificates, ...).
Does anyone have a quick trick or the latest full ROM that I can just iron over or any other good quick idea? Change bootloader slot or other options? OrangeRecovery and Fastboot are still accessible. Now I only have ADB/Fastboot on my work laptop, but I still can't list the device with adb devices. I guess I still need to install the Xiaomi driver for it, but that should be the minor issue.
Update: I am currently downloading the different ROM versions (fastboot, recovery and incremental update), just in case they are needed.
OTA for the rom and using ofox? hmm it's not supported unless you will flash stock rom maybe. I don't know much more. Correct me if im wrong.
OTA works very well with orangefox and AICP 16.1...

[bootloop] Bootloop on second boot after custom rom installation, XZ Premium

Hi all,
Installing a custom rom on an XZ Premium; it's my first time dealing with this so its possible I missed something. I successfully installed TWRP and adb sideloaded the most recent Cherish OS rom. I was able to set up the phone with no issue, but upon rebooting for the first time back into system, it hits the boot logo, which animates correctly, but then hangs there indefinitely. I have wiped system memory, reformatted, and reinstalled, and the issue persists. I have also tried other ROMs. Arrow had the same issue, as did the Pixel experience, which leads me to believe that it's not an issue with the rom, but something with how I have configured the set-up.
I looked around for solution, but wasn't able to find much on the specific issue of only having issues on second boot, rather than initial. Any help would be appreciated.
I think your TWRP version is the Problem... (I think there were a lot of complaints about 3.3.?.? and higher) I had a similar Problem; TWRP wanted to use /data and if i formated the device, it would endless bootloop (I think because of the encryption the OS uses by default) So i decided to flash a older version (were this wasn't a problem) and I picked twrp-3.2.2-0-maple.img (maple because i have single SIM variant) and I didn't even needed to format the device and it still works (after i flashed Magisk and some other stuff/ "enhancements", that don't impact he OS) and everything still works smootly.
Maybe you should just flash a older version of TWRP (like 3.2.2-0) But i can't guarrantee, that it'll work on Pie(since i don't have it).
