Unable to boot to twrp after installing evolution x(30/04) - Xiaomi Poco X2 Questions & Answers

I recently used twrp to flash custom rom, after which I was able to boot into the custom rom, but unable to get back into twrp since twrp keeps flickering on boot, however this doesnt affect my main rom. Just that I'm unable to update my rom directly.
What I've tried so far-
i) fastboot boot recovery and boot recovery to no avail, still boots to flickering twrp.
ii) installing stock miui, unlocking, again flashing twrp, and installing latest version of evolution x(14/05), after which I wasn't able to boot into the rom itself.
Could someone help me with solving this issue, please do explain in lamen's terms, I'm still a noob when it comes to this domain.
Thank you,

What is recovery?
What is Twrp?
When you understand that you may be able to try flashing roms.
And above all, ask your question about the thread of the rom concerned.

Presently, no TWRP versions support Android 12 for Pocco X2, so you have to wait

Cannot start ROM / permanent reboot into recovery

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.....

Phone keeps booting into TWRP?

I was going to flash Pixel Experience rom so I updated to the latest TWRP by Peter via fastboot because it did not flash. Upon flashing PEX successfully, I can't boot into the system. Every time I reboot, I get taken to recovery. Any help?

Try wiping out the OS partition (through TWRP) and then flash the ROM .

Flashing PE needs MIUI v10.x (PIE Based) for successful flash, flash the stock miui rom (pie) using twrp and then flash the PE. Also try Orange Fox Recovery than twrp.

The issue is the latest twrp it is broken. I don't know why they ever put that on the official site flash
twrp-3.3.1-0-violet.img from the official site
https://dl.twrp.me/violet/
or orange fox

then do a clean system installation.

Android 10 & Custom ROM & Slot A + B

Hello Android developers and enthusiasts,
I've been installing ROM since 2011 so I would not call myself a n00b however I seemingly cannot install an Android 10 ROM without issues. So this is a plea for help and advice!
I know you need to have OOS installed before you install a custom ROM so I use Auto Flash ROM to install OOS with Android 9 via System Update. I then boot and set up phone, install update, reboot and then install the OOS android 10 via the System Update. I then have a OOS installed with Android 10.
Why would I use such an elaborate method you may ask? Well, I tried to download latest OOS from OnePlus site and wipe phone and then install OOS but that fails (didn't record the error I'm afraid).
I then download all the ROM + dependencies on an USB stick and use fastboot to flash Mauronofrio TWRP. I then follow the steps in the ROM instructions. For EvolutionX these were:
First Time Install / Clean Flash
- Have OOS 10.3 flashed to both slots!!
- Boot to recovery
- Flash BUILD.zip (TWRP built-in)
- Wipe Cache
- Format data
- Reboot to recovery (optional)
- Flash Magisk.zip (optional)
- Reboot to system & #KeepEvolving
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I followed these to the letter but when i rebooted system I got a snapdragon error and it wouldn't even boot into TWRP until I used fastboot to flash boot into TWRP. I also tried HavocROM and same happened.
I did manage to install Syberia using above method but I didn't like the ROM that much unfortunately.
Finally, I've also read up a lot on Slot A and B but it still is not very clear to me. I think I understand it but what happens does not confirm my theories
I therefore have some questions:
- Should I be able to wipe my phone and install OOS on a wiped phone and then install a custom ROM?
- When I install ROM and it says "Reboot Recovery" and then install ROM again. But if I check what slot is being used the reboot doesn't seem to change the slot. My assumption was that booting recovery was to install ROM in the other slot. Is that correct?
Any other tips you can give me?
Again, I like to stress I am not new to installing custom ROMs so I am a bit disappointed that this is causing me such grief.
Following some answers I will retry tomorrow so I can give some more details if needed. For now, appreciate any help.

Hi!
I had this exact same problem a couple months ago. Rebooting to recovery used to change slots for me, but then it stopped.
What you can do is change active slot manually on Reboot section. By doing this, you don't even have to reboot to recovery in other to flash the other slot (altough I do it just to be safe).
And remember: the rom is flashed on the inactive slot, so after the final flash you gotta change slots one more time.
When you flash one ROM on top of another different ROM, particularly OOS to custom, always wipe data and not format data, because some custom ROMs do not support being unencrypted in the first time and then encrypt on the first boot. So do it like this:
Flash OOS
Flash TWRP
Reboot recovery
Flash OOS
Flash TWRP
Reboot system
Complete initial setup
Reboot to recovery
Wipe (not format) data
Flash custom ROM (start here for dirty flashing ROM update)
Flash TWRP
Reboot recovery
Flash custom ROM
Flash TWRP
Reboot recovery
Flash Magisk
Reboot system
I don't like built-in TWRP in custom ROMs. I always use @mauronofrio's TWRP. So regardless if the custom ROM I'm using has TWRP built-in or not, I always use the method above. I didn't have a problem with installing ROMs using his TWRP. Slots always switch when flashing ROM.
Thanks for the info, it really helps.
One question: in your experience can you wipe your phone and then installl OOS on the wiped phone?
So I just booted into TWRP, did standard wipe action: Data, Cache, and Dalvik. I then try to flash the latest OOS zip and I then get this error:
Error applying update: 7 (ErrorCode::kInstallDeviceOpenError)
Updater process ended withL ERROR: 1.
Error installing zip file: '/usbstorage/00, INSTALL/OnePlus6Oxygen_22_OTA_044_all_2002220042_a46425f1bfe43d2.zip
FIXED: I was using TWRP 3.3.1.11 and I then found out there was a newer version: 3.3.1.18 which you can get here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mauronofrio-twrp/files/Enchilada/
I am now able to install OOS from scratch (ie wiped phone).

I tried this method and everytime I can't seem to flash oos onto the other slot because when it reboots to recovery the folder is encrypted so I can't see which file is the zip. How do I flash the seccond OOS if it shows up encrypted in TWRP.
I have a OnePLus 6 with the latest OOS now because I got into boot loop and i used a flash-all.bat to get back to stock. I also use maronofrio's twrp because that works.

If you can boot OOS fine, try to do a local update so that both slots have OOS. Then try to flash a custom ROM again using the method I've mentioned.

When you say local update you mean while I am running the rom, go to settings then do update from local source?

@Cypher_01, Try this guide. This worked for me. I did not reinstall Nikgapps. Maybe that's where the problem lies? Don't forget to change the update slot at the end before you restart.​

Problem with flashing custom ROM (error 255)

Hey guys,
after searching through different websites and guides you are my last resort to get a custom ROM running on my Redmi S2.
Everytime i try to flash a custom ROM i get the error 255. Here is what i tried until now (bootloader is unlocked):
- flashing twrp(twrp-3.2.1-0-ysl) to recovery using fastboot
- wiping phone (first wipe to disable encryption since miui puts some kind of password on the hard drive that i dont know, second wipe to ensure partitions are clean for new OS)
- mounting phone to pc to transfer OS image (tried Lineage and Havoc, both modified for S2 (ysl version)) and GApps
- finally, installing OS zip (after which i get error message 255, telling me that twrp wasnt able to install the zip file)
please help me out, ask away if something's not clear

Try this, you have to flash first this in fastboot https://files.orangefox.download/OrangeFox-Beta/ysl/ the R10.0-1 RC1 .img file
And THEN flash this https://orangefox.download/en/device/ysl once you are in the recovery.
Then it worked for me, finally, hope this helps.

Try this, you have to flash first this in fastboot https://files.orangefox.download/OrangeFox-Beta/ysl/ the R10.0-1 RC1 .img file
And THEN flash this https://orangefox.download/en/device/ysl once you are in the recovery.

so i tried this approach. i first installed how you told me to (orangefox R10.0-1 RC1 .img first), but factory reset nor installing the second recovery img worked because of the encryption miui puts on the phone. So i flashed twrp, wiped memory, flashed first orange fox img and from then installed the second img (as a zip). until here everything worked, orange fox told me that he's going to reboot to new recovery -- and i got stuck on the boot logo again. :c

Did you flash the firmware? https://github.com/XiaomiFirmwareUpdater/firmware_xiaomi_ysl/releases/tag/stable-16.03.2020
Other thing you could try is flash the other .img files from https://files.orangefox.download/OrangeFox-Beta/ysl/ and the flash in there the same .zip file you did as before.

i suppose you flash it using MiFlash right? If so, i have a problem with flashing new roms using it because my Mi account isnt allowed to do that, i unlocked the bootloader using a tool (dont know if this has something to do with the custom rom problem)

As long as the bootloader is unlocked it should be fine. And no, you should flash the firmware just as you would flash the rom, i. e. from OrangeFox Recovery.

UPDATE: i finally ****ing did it. So here are the steps that i took (incase anyone has to go through this **** as well)
1. flash MIUI on mobile device using MiFlash (at least i did this by shorting 2 pins on the back)
2. (VERY IMPORTANT!!!) instantly boot to fastboot using Power button + Volume down. this has to be before android starts setting up the phone
3. flash recovery with the image that celephrn provided in this thread
4.boot to recovery by holding Volume up + Power button
5. install the miui update that celephrn provided in this thread
6. reboot to recovery
7. install orange recovery zip that celephrn provided in this thread (phone reboots to recovery)
8. now you can reboot to system (Do NOT (!!!) set the phone up, just let it work its things until you see the MIUI setup screen)
9. Now, finally you can dirty flash your custom rom (and GApps)
10. after flashing the new rom android will throw you alot of errors so you will have to wipe Dalvik/Cache, System, Data and Internal Storage.
11. now you can flash your Rom clean and you're good to go
(huge thanks to celephrn, helped me out after me struggling for a few good weeks with this damn phone)

so far, what have you done

Question Device stuck in BootLoop - PLEASE help

My realme gt neo2 is stuck on bootloop, already tried OFP Flash but nothing, still stuck.
update --
I have managed to get back to realme ui recovery, but not even if I format data, still on fastboot
is it on bootloop or just constantly restarting to fastboot? try flashing the stock rom with the twrp flashable stock rom firmware.

If I start the device, it goes on fastboot, if I click recovery it goes on rui recovery mode, but even if I format data and restart it does the same (start on fastboot)

already did, still nothing..
hi, i have mine since two days.
1. unlock bootloader
2. boot in twrp with "fastboot boot recovery.img"
3. install twrp by press "install -> image install"
4. install magisk in trwp et boot the stock rom
5. restart in twrp and install elixir..A13...
6. reboot the phone with result of touch screen not responding
7. 8. 9. ....... try format Data, change twrp version, flash other rom with no succes.
Now i'm on elixir[A13] and will give a try at arrowsOS.
my solution if it can help you:
1. go here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-realme-gt-neo-2-bitra-fastboot-mode.4399223/
and try to remember whaat was the last android version you had on your phone.
2. download it and flash it with the little application, if it failed or stuck on "flashing ..." WAIT first 10min, disconnect your phone and reflash it with same method (i flash it three time and no one go to the end).
3. reboot your phone and if you're lucky, you can enter in.
4. make all updates for your android version
5. when you will be on rui3.0, you can remade the first step for playing with bootloader, recovery and recent custom rom.
hope it help you...
soory for my english

Hi!
I fixed the problem by using a OFP flash tool
The only thing that I have to do now is to upgrade the version of android (from 11 to 13)
Thanks for the reply tho!

there is one stock rom firmware that gives that problem, at least that's what happened to me previously or also when touch did not work it was when flashed custom rom on wrong firmware version, let's say rom required rui 3 c05 but I used rui 3 c07 which caused problems.

exactly. not really the first time for me. it can append when your recovery is out of date also.
i'm not a dev but interresting with for long year and i think flashing rom don't errase all that why we always need to flash custom rom according to our android version.
