As soon as i flashed patched image and tried to boot the phone rebooted and stuck in oem is unlocked.
Now i am unable to boot it in fastboot mode or recovery mode.

TWRP: Once the flash has completed, Don't use the "Fastboot Reboot" Command Instead
Unplug Your phone then
turn it off
Manually boot it into recovery by keeping Power + Volume Down button pressed.

Does this MSM Tool also work for OnePlus?
To search just with your favorite Search-Engine for this tool is one thing, do you know the link to a trustworthy source?
By the way, I cannot lock my bootloader (just like the OP) and I would like to go back to stock. I found a Video, but it says I need Oxygen OS 4.0.2, if anybody knows where I can get that ?

Hi there,
I was on android 10, and decided to use Potato Open Sauce Project.
I tried to boot twrp with "fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-1-guacamoleb.img" and that's what i get :
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 1.384s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error)
finished. total time: 1.415s
Click to expand...

So because there is no recovery partition, i decided to flash twrp to boot with "fastboot flash boot twrp-3.3.1-1-guacamoleb.img" :
target reported max download size of 805306368 bytes
sending 'boot_b' (56612 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.405s]
writing 'boot_b'...
OKAY [ 0.262s]
finished. total time: 1.670s
Click to expand...

But now i'm stuck in the bootloader mode, whatever i select in bootloader end into bootloader (eg. start, restart bootloader, recovery mode).
Do you think my phone is completly broken ? I've never rooted, but bootloader is unlocked
Thanks by advance

I'm having the same problem with my OP7T HD1900. I cannot flash into OOS using MSM because the device would never go into EDL mode by pressing vol up/down then plugging. Long pressing, holding the buttons then plugging the cable never works, just takes me to Fastboot mode. Have you resolved your EDL issue? How else can i get my OP7T into EDL mode so I can flash to Oxygen? I am on Hydrogen 10.0.7HD65 currently. Thanks to anyone who can help.

Here is my input on this since I struggled with the MSMdownloadtool as well a few weeks ago.
Press Vol (+) Vol (-) and connect the phone to the PC.
You need to connect the Device very quickly after setting it in EDL Mode and then start MSMdownloadTool otherwise
the device will just restart again after a few seconds from EDL Mode so perhaps best to start MSMdownloadTool
already before connecting the phone so that it will pick up the connection directly when it is in EDL mode.
Hope that helps!

Thanks, brother. I have just resolved my issue literally 10 minutes ago. Somebody sent me a link to an Oxygen 10.0.8 and I was able to do a local update and the phone did not go on soft brick this time. Perhaps I have downloaded an incompatible link the last time. I did not have to use MSM after all.

Hey guys,
I wanted to flash a custom ROM on my Mi 9 SE, for this I installed TWRP (3.3.1-3) and Booted into it normaly. After wiping the phone I mistakenly restarted it and now the phone instaltly goes into fastboot mode without a chance to enter TWRP. I tryed to reflash TWRP but it did not work. I can't use adb as the phone only enters fastboot mode. is there another way to enter recovery mode? I also found the software MiFlash from Xiaomi but I only get the error "can not found file flash_all.bat"
Edit: Got it to work now, this is what I did:
Download MiFlash (from here: c[DOT]mi[DOT]com/thread-1329226-1-1.html [can't use links as new user ¯\_(ツ)_/¯])
flash stock ROM (from here: xiaomistockrom[DOT]com/xiaomi-mi-9-se [same])
it did not work with the stock ROM found on Xiaomis Website but only with the one linked.

Hi,
My phone is actually dying and I don't know how to recover it this time.
I had a perfectly working setup with latest weekly update of Xiaomi eu MIUI , TWRP and magisk, and know even fastboot is not responding.
I usually don't like when people say that, but I think a malware did it, as my apps started not responding in a few minutes, and the reboot finished the job.
Now it won't boot anymore, when it's plug the notification led is red, and fastboot is detected but commands are stuck.
Also, TWRP is neither accessible from "power + vol up" since last miui eu update, nor from fastboot since the "accident"
If someone have any advice on how to unlock fastboot, flash back the rom or any other way to recover my phone, please help
Also, if you want to know the rest of the story, it's here...
I was using my phone as usual, trying to setup a bridge openvpn connection. (like everyone :laugh: )
The issue is that the only app claiming to do that isn't free, and I want to be sure I can make it work before spending any money.
So I tried to patch it and different apks (I know it's bad...), and while transferring an apk from my laptop to my phone, I noticed the transfer was kinda slow for a few seconds (nothing worrying, but unusual)
Then some of my apps didn't want to launch and, back to the app drawer, most of my apps had their package names, with no icons...
It was at this moment Jackson I knew I screwed up...
I then tried rebooting, and the phone stayed a few minutes on the MIUI screen, then shut off.
After a reboot, I noticed the red led, the absence of boot animation, and the bootloop.
Obviously, if I had a fastboot access, it would be easy to boot on TWRP and then flash back my rom properly but I can't...
EDIT: to make this clearer (I know the post above is a little bit messy), I have the following issues:
- No access to TWRP (for flashing)
- Fastboot is accessible but broken enough so flash/boot to twrp is not possible
- I just though of EDL mode, but "fastboot oem edl" doesn't seems to work
- I prefer to avoid opening my phone (to access to the EDL test points)
EDIT2: You can't flash anything in EDL mode without specific autorisations from xiaomi, so this mode becomes way more useless than on my previous Mi A1. I managed to miraculously flash some things by using miflash in fastboot mode. Maybe working on a windows os instead of gnu/linux helped somehow...

Go to https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=50678 and find your recovery (lmi) and flash it with fastboot and boot to recovery.
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot boot twrp.img
Now download the new ROM 20.10.16, push it to the internet storage and install it dirty... Wipe Cache and reboot....
My problem is almost same, i unlock the bootloader to flash xiaomi.eu rom from global rom, unlocking and flashing custom recovery was done smoothly, when i tried to flash xiaomi.eu rom version 12.0.8 it booted back to recovery, and i format the data partition and booted to system, and same result. I tried global its same result.
Then i tried miflash tool, " antirollback error ".
Now i don't know what to do. Hope my precious poco f2 pro is not bricked, coz i can still manage to boot in custom recovery, and can use miflash tool but error.
Can someone out there help me please. Thanks in advance.

Since you have access to a properly working fastboot and recovery, I believe there is always a way to recover your phone.
I'll be glad to help you but for now, I'm more focused on my issue.
Only thing, while using miflash, be careful to never lock your bootloader since you would have to open your phone to access EDL mode in case of bootloop
(but you can lock it afterwards if you want)

Well, the main issue here is that fastboot seems to be broken too...
i found this for you on the LOS rom for poco f2 pro (am not the autor) this is for the "Anti-rollback error" (i hope that can help you):
romabah said:
Gentlemen with EU versions of Poco F2 pro, could you help me out?
Right now i am running 12.0.2.0 QJKEUXM.
To flash Lineage i first need to flash MIUI V12.0.3.0.QJKMIXM via MiFlash. I tried to do that but got an Anti-rollback error.
Checking via fastboot i saw that my phones anti rollback value is 1, but MIUI V12.0.3.0.QJKMIXM firmware has an anti rollback of 0.
Some folks say to delete first 5-6 lines in text editor from .bat file, but at the same time people tell everywhere to NOT flash firmware with lower value that your current anti rollback.
Any advice? How did other EU folks fix this?
Edit: I fixed it! I will NOT and cannot claim that this will fix all rollback error's, but it fixed mine.
0) This is applicable to fastboot version of MIUI V12.0.3.0.QJKMIXM (aka tgz file that you need to extract twice)
1) Move the extracted firmware directory imi_global_images_V12.0.3.......ets.ets. ( map with flash_all.bat, images ) to C: directory and rename to something short, like xiaomiFirm.
This will solve a lot of weird error's as MiFlash doesnt like long directories
2) Within the moved map open flash_all.bat with text editor and delete everything starting and including "::check anti_version" to and including "echo %..."
This removes the anti rollback check somehow. The reason for only editing flash_all.bat is because this is the .bat file that is run when you choose clean all option in MiFlash, i assume you dont want to clean all and lock now do you?
3) After finishing flashing mine gave error Not catch checkpoint flash is not done, but booted normally. Gave me a heart attack.
Sanity check: When running cmd "fastboot getvar anti" it returned "anti: 1"
Meaning i just flashed a ROM with anti of 0 on a phone with a anti value of 1. At least i believe so.
In any case, thank all for giving feedback for other ways of fixing this.

It just need a good memory wipe and android replacement
As I managed to get to emergency mode, I can now easily replace its software
EDIT: I didn't know that for these xiaomi devices, you need very specific autorisations to flash something with EDL... Fortunately, after messing around with miflash, I managed to unlock myself out of this infinite loop

Well,
By using edl mode and miflash, I got some errors as I was not authorised to do this operation, so I rebooted to fastboot, reused miflash, and I don't know which kind of magic did that but after some files flashed and an error, I was able to boot on TWRP. With this done, I tried to keep my data but didn't worked, and as I have everything constantly backup, I dicided to do a flashall.
now, I think I have a good MIUI base to flash MIUI EU back

My imei got lost so I tried to flash eng rom through MI flash to fix it. It flashes all except certain file called (aop. Mbn) so I tried to flash it by cmd commands via fastboot and then the phone bricked.. No booting to fastboot anymore , no recovery. even with disconnecting battery and reconnecting again... Phone only recognized in Edl mode and when flashing through MI flash it asks for edl authorization... Account login successful but then flash fail cuz account is not authorized. So I think The only solution will be authorized account or patched prog_ufs file
Tried to follow this guide to root my pixel 4a and completed all steps up to 3.4. My phone is now stuck in fastboot mode and I can't get into recovery mode to do a factory reset. Not sure what to do, I'm a little lost. I accidentally used this or this image for Android 10 when I think I should have used this image for Android 11.
Any help would be very appreciated.
Maybe you can use this guide:
[GUIDE] UNLOCKING, DOWNGRADING TO A10, TWRP, ROOT
Hello, I'm posting this guide for those (like me) who can't do without TWRP on their device. I'm providing only a step-by-step explanation. Credits to @nikamura for his kernel and TWRP...
forum.xda-developers.com
And start on this line in "First Step" section:
Plug the phone into a usb port of your pc.
Then complete all the tasks in "Second Step" section to get your phone at least booting in android 10.

Can you type fastboot reboot recovery and get into recovery mode? You'll see a little Android guy with a red thing if you're in there.
If that doesn't work- it almost sounds as though your recovery partition is deleted or something. You can reflash the recovery from fastboot.
Hey, I had the same problem. I've got it resolved now and wasn't able to find any help on how to resolve it, but this thread is as close as it came, so in the off chance that somebody else comes along, I thought I'd write up the steps I took.
Because it was in fastboot mode, I was able to easily restore my phone to factory settings by running flash factory image script I downloaded here.
My original image was sunfish-rq3a.210605.005-factory-be541467 which I followed the steps with but couldn't get it to work. I got to the Google logo with a status bar that just ran forever. But the flash-all.sh script worked to get the phone booting again.
So what I did to get Magisk to work was to use that same factory image site to download an older version. I used a version that was listed in a different root guide with the idea that maybe the version I tried before wasn't compatible with magisk, but presumably the one from the guide was. So I tried sunfish-rq1a.210105.002, ran the flash-all in fastboot, and confirmed that it booted--it did.
Next I redid 2.2 through 3 and it worked, and the boot completed with Magisk installed. Everything seems to be working fine now.
