wrong boot img flashed. Now phone stuck in bootloop and won't be detected by PC

Hi guys,
Before i start, just be informed that i have tried google all possible solutions and tried them but to no avail. I know its a long shot but perhaps someone may be able to help however small the chances are.
My phone is a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon variant and is rooted.
What happened was, i tried installing TWRP (kenzo version) on my phone and so following the "instructions" in the downloaded file.
I used Flashify to flash the boot.img and then redmi_note_3_Twrp.img then the phone prompted me to reboot.
Now my phone is stuck in bootloop. The only thing i can do is to boot into Fastboot. So i tried accessing fastboot via ADB hoping to be able to some how flash the original boot.img back.
The problem i have now is that i am unable to access the phone at all even though i can go into fastboot. It wont be detected by my PC. I tried Minimal ADB and Fastboot and PdaNet.
Is there any other way for me to detect my phone and run some form of command to get it started again? Any help at all is appreciated. The phone is fairly new and i'm regretting trying to get the latest ROM for it.
I'm hoping i'll have some luck in a helpful community such as this.
Thanks guys.

Omg!! someone with the same problem as me. The same happened to me. Flashed a CWM file now am stuck in a Bootloop and ADB wont find my device either

Fret not my friend. For i have found the solution and managed to unbrick my phone. Thank the good guys at MIUI for this.
Head over to the MIUI forum and search unbrick under the Redmi Note 3 forums. I can't post the link here unfortunately
You can also thank me after you unbrick your phone.
This only applies if you are uaing the Redmi Note 3 Pro

Well if that's the case i suggest googling how to get into EDM mode for ur phone and using your phone brand's flash tool to flash a new ROM onto your phone. This means you will not be able to save your phone's memory. Is your phone's bootloader unlocked?

yes it is unlocked,
i think? When i entered fastboot mode. One of my apps says bootloader enabled and when i typed 'fastboot devices' in the Minimal ADB and Fastboot its shows:
0123456789ABCDEF devices
whereas if I type 'adb devices' i just shows:
List of devices attached
The main problem is the driver, i cant get adb to find my device. I have tried the universal usb drivers like Kouch but no success. My device is listed in the Unspecified section in my computer

HOW TO INSTALL TWRP/ORANGEFOX RECOVERY WITHOUT UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER IN OPPO F9 PRO

I am using an OPPO F9 pro , OPPO devices(at least mine) does not have fastboot mode as the manufacturers have given no access for that ,the "OEM unlocking" option under developer options is literally useless as it is basically not possible to unlock its bootloader.
My aim actually is to install a custom ROM using any of those recoveries , if anyone can help me regrading how to install any of these recoveries without unlocking the bootloader please help me if that is possible to do so without OEM unlock ,btw my device has mediatek chipset.
I have already set all other prerequisites like ADB ,drivers, USB drivers for my phone etc ; and i am able to use ADB bridge to control my device using my pc.
All i want to know that is there any way by which we can install custom recovery given that the phone does not have any "bootloader/fastboot" mode which indirectly also means that there is no OEM unlock access.
I would again like to clarify that i am 100% sure that it is impossible for most OPPO phones to enter fastboot mode ,i have tried to enter fastboot mode using ADB commands(adb reboot bootloader) and that power + volume up/down after power off ,nothing works for in my OPPO phone that allows me to use fastboot mode.
At last ,i have also asked from OPPO service ,they clearly told me that there is no bootloader in oppo devices
I AM REALLY STRESSED RIGHT NOW AS MY STOCK ROM SUCKS SO ANY HELP WOULD BE REALLY APPRECIATED.

You can not flash anything custom without first unlocking the bootloader, there is no way to do this.
Yes, there are devices out there that have TWRP even though the device has a locked bootloader, it is tricky to explain but most of these devices do not truly have TWRP installed in the traditional manner. They merely use some kind of trick or code to trick the device into booting TWRP from a secondary location instead of booting stock recovery from the stock recovery partition.

Simple answer: You can't. And if you unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery, DON'T TRY TO LOCK IT BACK! It will brick your phone badly.

Have you tried looking at indian tutorial videos? I can't tell if that's going to work, since I have no experience with OPPO phones, but this one seems interesting.

maybe that video works for realme devices but all the videos(only except 3 or 4 oppo phones those have fastboot mode given by manufacturer) in which they tell the way to unlock bootloader for oppo devices are fake except for those few i already told, although the process for different brand phones are quite same.

NOKIA 2, TA-1007 stuck on Nokia logo

Background: After a night of searching I was unable to find a solution for this. I'm a newbie in the phone tech, but I did root couple of them, back in the days, with stock recovery and with TWRP. The first owner of this phone said it was working well until this happened.
Problem: I got this phone in the state where it's stuck on Nokia logo. Developer mode is not enabled, therefore OEM is not unlocked as well, and I'm only left with a stock recovery with an option to sideload update from ADB, and a Fastboot (Download) mode. I haven't been able to find a trusted firmware and even if I did I don't think it would work without OEM unlock...
Any ideas?
And, oh, I'm using Linux.
Thanks

Fastboot, Samsung Galaxy A51

Hello, i wanted to ask how to fix the fastboot mode.
Everytime when i try to access it, it just says "Entering Fastboot..."and thats all.
I dont want to close it, thats not my problem, i just wanna flash a recovery.img, and the fastboot seems not working. Any ideas?

this could be because the galaxy A51 wasnt built with fastboot, and the code to launch this option was just reused from a different device, or because something isnt connecting properly.

Hello, I have the same ... Android 11 (and currently 12) (from Frija). So it is not the fault of incorrect configuration or with connecting. Only something is wrong with this phone ...

I have this device and this solved it for me:
Enable OEM unlocking in developer settings
Shut down the phone
Hold volume up and volume down
Plug in a USB cable connected to a computer (the computer being turned on)
Keep holding
You're in download mode!
Side note: This might not work in USA or Canada, I am from europe and it works here. I have no idea if it works in another region. Also, you can't just flash a recovery.img on Samsung since there is no real "fastboot", you have to use download mode and Odin.

But I know how to enter download mode... Problem is Fastboot mode...

There is no fastboot mode on a modern Samsung device. If there is, it's fake and you cannot flash anything with it. As you can see even from Wikipedia, Odin is the Samsung replacement of fastboot.
So no fastboot, only download mode.
If a guide is saying to use fastboot, it is not compatible with Samsung.
If you would tell me why you specifically need fastboot, I'll be happy to tell you how you can do it with Odin, if possible.

Because I have Samsung Galaxy A51 5G (A516B) with new Android 12 and I can't do a root! Because I can't upload TWRP (custom recovery) because I haven't OEM unlock option in Deveoper Option. I tried trick with set back date by 7days but not succes. Everything I;ve metioned here - I did at my phone with Android 11.
And... I have read that I can turn this fu**ing OEM option by comend at ADB: fastboot oem unlock.
Phew ...
So this fastboot method is the last method to do a root with my phone.

Upload TWRP by Odin in download mode -ends red warning - of corse...
Have you any ideas?
I would be grateful for help...

I have read this fastboot method at:
How to Unlock Bootloader On Samsung Galaxy Phones [EASY GUIDE]
Are you looking for a Complete tutorial on How To Unlock Bootloader on Samsung Galaxy Phones? If yes, then you have come to the right place.
www.guidetoroot.com

Yeah, that guide is not relevant on any modern Samsung device. Besides, even if it was, which it isn't, you would first need to enable OEM unlocking from the Developer Settings.
But the fact that you don't have an option for OEM unlock is weird, since I have the exact same device model and it is there for me.
May I ask what is your region and is your phone locked to a telephone carrier?

My region is PLS - Poland. And not - phone is not locked. Have you the newest system Android 12?

Yes, I do. It's weird that there isn't even an option for you.
I'll try to come up with some new ideas if I have time...

I'll be glad for it...

Hej, do you have any idea?

You could try it. It might be risky, but it's the only option I personally can come up with right now.

I've tried this option but Odin stuck on "files verification". Any help?

have any of you encountered this problem?
And how did you solve it?

How to Unlock Bootloader of LG Phones Official Method
This is the guide of LG Android Smartphones how to Unlock Bootloader of LG Phones Official Method To Unlock LG G6, LG G7, LG V30, LG V40
www.gizdev.com

I've got my hands on this phone. I've read through all of the replies and I see that @Warlockguitarman has come up with a universal mediaTek method I suppose. So far just going into what I know about LG I've been able to get into fastbootd mode very easily. After that it's a pain in the ass.
You need to download the Minimal Adb and Fastboot tools or just use the latest platform tools. For the people who didn't read the previous posts, the command to reboot to fastboot, is:
Code:
adb reboot fastboot
You'll be rebooted to fastbootd, which is fastboot but moved to the userspace to allow for "flawless" system tweaks.
In fastbootd you can't do much until you've already updated you're drivers from the Device manager. You'll wanna update the LG K500 device I believe. This is the weird part because I can't seem to get consistent results.
Originally I tried using Android Bootloader Interface driver to talk to the device and I noticed that I was getting a HAL issue. Which meant that my cable or driver was messed up. So naturally I tried the LG Adb drivers next. And this time I kept getting (No Link). I then tried searching for some OEM commands. In our devices case, they're hidden by our carriers. So there's not much we can do about that.
On LG's official developer website for unlocking the bootloader, the command to get the OEM unlock code is "fastboot oem device-id". So I tried this as well, and I get a combo of the 2 errors from above. I need more tests from others. If you need help with getting to fastbootd or getting your device to showup in fastboot just ask. We'll help(or at least I will)
On top of everything else, I believe that in order to unlock the bootloader we have to put the device in emergency download mode so that we can dump the full rom of our devices using some low level mediatek interface perhaps. If we can dumb the bootloader, we can extract the hidden OEM commands to see exactly what we need to see. And as @Warlockguitarman says, one of the main issues in getting root is disabling dm-verity. Or boot verification in vbmeta.img.

You can get root without disabling avb, you use patched magisk boot.img and flash in fastbootd, I have my bootrom and preloader dumped and fully understand how the unlock is done, but the correct signature needs to be done to the modified seccfg to be able to flash it to correctly unlock the bootloader and so far only paid tools can do this for the time being... and on the HAL error, that is because fastbootd removes oem commands, so no oem unlock command will work, the seccfg holds the bootloader lock and unlock info an 01 needs to be changed to an 03 and then flashed back. So far only bootrom allows the seccfg.img to be flashed and it requires the correct signature. Check out the mtkclient tool.
