Hi Guys,
I have an AT&T One X that I unlocked and flashed TWRP recovery on. I have been using this for quite some time with a stockish HTC Custom ROM. However I wanted to see what the latest Cyanogenmod was like. So I flashed the latest snapshot after first flashing the specific recovery software linked on the cyanogenmod page. So far so good. Device booted up and was ready for use.
I wanted to install Gapps afterwards so I went to OpenGapps to download the aroma installer. However the Cyanogenmod recovery software doesn't seem to support this. So I wanted to go back to TWRP. Instead of doing the usual flashing in the recovery I decided to use the TWRP Rommanager since it seemed like a quick fix. Ooh how wrong I was.
After installing the recovery through TWRP manager I accepted the request of TWRP manager to reboot to recovery. However my phone greeted me with a black screen afterwards. Up till now I haven't seen anything pop up onscreen anymore and I tried numerous things. The only strand of hope I still have left as that when connecting to my pc I'm still able to see the phone is in fastboot mode.
However when trying to execute a new flash of my recovery partition my phone keeps saying "fastboot error; remote not allowed". I've searched through numerous articles without a solution up till now. Is my phone too far gone to revive?
Doesn't seem like a straightforward fix as no responses are coming in. Maybe an indication if there would be a fix is appreciated as well.
Hi there,
Yesterday I thought it was a good idea to flash a new rom (I bought my 2S early so I had a chinese rom I wanted to get rid off for a while).
My device is already unlocked and TWRP worked like a charm, that is, until today and last night. I first tried to flash lineageOS (https://forum.xda-developers.com/xi.../rom-lineageos-16-0-xiaomi-mi-mix-2s-t3862712) and to my surprise it didn't boot after that, it just straight went back to fastboot.
So I flashed to the original rom (https://en.miui.com/download-343.html) using the fastboot method and the MiFlash program. My phone booted up again, but when I tried to flash Magisk to have root it got stuck and went straight to Recovery this time (as opposed to fastboot).
Next I tried to flash again using fastboot and then flash the rom I wanted (lineageOS). This time, lineageOS showed the boot screen from that rom, but it got stuck there for almost 5 minutes and then I decided to give up. Now, no matter which twrp or rom I try I either end up not being able to boot it and if I do I cannot flash Magisk for root. Is there anyone who has a solution? Everyone seems to be able to install lineageOS just fine... Thanks!
Here's what I tried so far:
- Flashing original roms (older versions too)
- Using fastboot format data, system, cache to remove all data instead of just using TWRP
- Flashing 3 different unofficial roms (neither worked, all were stuck in their respective bootscreen for at least 5 minutes)
When flashing magisk try this method from NOS_bzone
Hope this helps
Seems like I'm having a quite similar problem.... https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-mi-mix-2s/help/boot-installing-custom-rom-t3868623
I managed to flash the global official rom + Magisk by these steps:
Download official rom (from: https://en.miui.com/download-343.html) (I used the fastboot method, clean all, NOT clean all and lock)
Download magisk
Download MiPa kernel: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-mi-mix-2s/development/kernel-mipa-kernel-t3831437
Flash the rom first using fastboot and MiFlash, then go to TWRP, then magisk and then MiPa (it will retain magisk)
After that I was able to boot and retain a successful root. I don't know about custom roms at the moment, but at this point after working on it for more than 12 hours, I don't feel like trying
Hi All,
I've been trying to install TWRP, Root etc on my XZP since yesterday. I've done something wrong at some point, and now my phone will not boot at all.
I had no troubles unlocking bootloader, installing TWRP etc initially. I then tried to install a custom rom from these forums and that's where things spiraled downwards for me.
As part of that procedure, I needed to flash the latest sony firmware first. That went fine.
However, now TWRP is not able to decrypt storage, so I'm not able to flash anything else. Perhaps this is because I booted into the new sony firmware and forgot change the pattern/fingerprint to pin/fingerprint.
So I'm not able to unlock the storage via TWRP by entering a password.
I tried to reflash the same firmware again using newflasher. But the phone won't boot at all. It turns off immediately after the Unlocked bootloader warning. It's not going into a boot loop. Just turns off.
I then tried to flash the TWRP recovery image using adb fastboot command, and the flash seemed to execute properly, but I still can not boot into recovery.
Is it possible the main storage is still encrypted, so nothing can flash to it? Bricked? If so, how do I proceed?
I read something about reformatting partitions? But I'm not able to get into TWRP recovery menu to do this.
*EDIT: I reflashed trwp recovery image, and am not able to boot into recovery. I still can not unlock (unencrypt) the main storage though.
*2nd EDIT: I followed the instructions here:https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/how-to-fix-unable-to-mount-data-t3830897
I was then able to flash the stock ROM back onto my device, and I'm able to boot my phone up. I'll look at installing a custom ROM at a later date.

Today I tried to finally update to the latest version of crDroid, but ended up having a bunch of issues doing so, and after a lot of troubleshooting and trying to fix it, I ended up putting it into a bootloop of some sort instead.
I'm pretty sure the last thing I tried was installing a different version of TWRP to see if that version would let me properly install the rom, and stop my phone from always rebooting into recovery mode.
Trying to turn it on normally or boot into TWRP leaves it hanging on the "Redmi" boot screen, it can boot into fastboot mode though.
I'm guessing that the only way to recover my phone at this point is to flash the Official MIUI rom back onto the phone, but that also involves wiping Data and losing pretty much everything I've put on the phone.
I was smart enough to make a TWRP of the Data folder, but while making the backup, the console said it doesn't include all personal files or something.
How much of my personal data and files can I rescue from the phone in this state, and how can I do that before it gets wiped when fixing it?
Also, I think I really need some help in actually restoring my phone and flashing the custom rom properly.
No matter how much effort I put into figuring out how to do this stuff, unexpected issues always seem to happen, and turns something that initially seemed so simple into multiple hours of troubleshooting.
The only way I think i've gotten rom flashing to work at all was by wiping everything and installing the official MIUI rom, but I don't want to be losing my data every month when an update comes out.
So, could someone please help me get my phone working again?
Edit: I ended up fixing my own issue by ADB flashing on a different release of TWRP, and then installing fcrypt disabler after the rom but before everything else.

Unfortunately, I can't.
Trying to boot into TWRP just gets stuck on the 'Redmi' boot logo.
I just remembered that you can install TWRP over ADB, and that Peter's one says it works even when the system partition is empty, so maybe the issue is the TWRP I installed and could possibly undo this part of the issue over ADB.
It won't fix the issue preventing my from updating my rom, but recovery only is still better than a soft brick.
Edit: That worked, i've put Peter's TWRP back on, and it's launching into recovery mode/TWRP again now
twrp not boot after successfully flash in this rom

In the end, I did try orangefox, and it might have been part of why it worked.
However, the crDroid installation instructions specifically mentions using Peter's TWRP, so I initially used that one.

Thank you for the effort you put into typing up a guide to help me, but I ended up fixing my own problem.
I was able to use fastboot to flash on a better TWRP release, and then get the rom to install properly by installing fcrypt-disabler just after it.

If you can access fastboot, then flash TWRP.... Enter recovery, wipe your system partitions and then flash the Stock MIUI ROM or use the MiFlash tool. Make sure you aren't flashing an older version of the ROM than the onle already installed.

I have the same problem that stated after installing the update for derpfest and I can boot into twrp. Any solution for me?
I got my OnePlus 7 Pro today and tried to install Magisk by patching the boot.img. After trying to flash the patched image, I now have an issue where rebooting the devices leads me straight back to the bootloader. Trying to enter recovery also leads me straight back to the bootloader. I tried flashing the original boot.img I extracted from the OTA update file provided by OnePlus, but it still isn't working. I do not have TWRP or any custom recovery installed. Any help would be much appreciated. I noticed similar threads, however they all installed twrp, though I haven't yet as trying to run "fastboot boot twrp.img" always resulted in it booting to a screen saying "fastboot mode" which wasn't terribly helpful.
Edit: Its not the tmobile/5g/carrier version. I purchased it through OnePlus' website though I forget the exact model number.
Well, "fastboot boot twrp.img" does not work on all devices, sometimes you have to use: fastboot flash boot insert_twrp_img_name_here.imgLearned that the hard way, also use the unofficial twrp from mauronofrio.
Had the same problem as you have, and fixed it with that unofficial twrp.

Did you need to completely revert to stock after the issue, or did flashing twrp fix the fastboot loop?
Edit: Trying to flash the stock fastboot rom currently as flashing twrp did nothing probably because me trying to fix it broke everything. Hopefully the stock rom will get everything back to a working state where I can try again, just this time flashing twrp.
Also using windows this time instead of linux....

Ok, so, trying to restore stock seems to have failed miserably.... any advice is most welcomed qq
OK.... so trying to unbrick the device using the msm stuff, I couldn't even make it to the downloader screen. After holding volume +/- and powering off, my screen is now black HOWEVER the phone gets detected by windows when I plug & unplug it. I have no idea what to do anymore. Someone please help
Figured I'd give the solution here in case someone else is in the same exact problem as me:
Follow the instructions over at https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/op7pro-collection-unbrick-tools-t3956595
I tried to de-brick it using the fastboot roms and all that, no dice. The only thing that seems to have worked was following the above and using the msm tool. Everything wiped, but hey, at least the phone is bootable again and now I have a way to fix it should this happen again. Yay for happy endings.
Edit: Also, following Faith1105's advice, flashing twrp to boot instead of trying to just boot it first worked successfully and from there I was able to install magisk.
Edit 2: Now wifi isn't working.... why life, why...
Edit 3: OK: EVERYTHING IS GOOD NOW. Twrp ran into a boot loop issue, used twrp to flash the most recent android 10 zip, rebooted and was greeted by stock recovery, then used that to wipe absolutely everything and reboot. After skipping through initial setup and making use wifi was working I rebooted again and this time tried booting twrp the way the usual instructions say to, this time it worked for whatever reason so once that started I used twrp to flash twrp's installer and magisk. It looks like everything is working correctly now. If you have the same issue maybe this stuff will work for you or maybe not: I don't know, and honestly I'm now brain dead lol.
