Hello.
I've followed instructions as in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/root-psyche-root-xiaomi-12x-with-magisk.4455293/
only 1 thing I did wrong is downloading 13.02 boot.img file instead of 13.04 boot.img which wasn't available at that time.
After I flashed phone was stuck in Recovery mode bootloop, then for some reason it just got stuck in normal bootloop.
after that I downloaded 13.04 boot.img which was for my version, patched it on another phone in magisk, repeated instructions and now it's stuck in fastboot bootloop.
I also want to mention that I don't have external SD card so I was using boot.img directly from my pc.
Please help me.
There was solution to use Mi Phone Assistant but program doesn't detect my phone.
Edit: I'm green in these kind of termins so want to mention that it doesn't constant rebooting, just everytime I try to boot it goes into fastboot.
If phone is ADB enabled try this
1. Connect Windows desktop computer with phone via USB cable what came with phone
2. In Windows Command prompt run command sequence
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot
to exit phone into NORMAL boot ( i.e. system mode -> ANDROID OS)

Looks like USB Debugging isn't got successfully enabled on phone.

Does it mean that phone is forever bricked? Can you throw me some words of hope please.
it is not forever bricked. you just messed up with the boot image. try the troubleshooting steps from the link you ve posted with a different cable. or a different usb. or a different pc. the app should detect the phone at some point.

Tried on different PC, didn't work. I doubt it's USB cable because it's original and I unlocked bootloader with it before. I'm desperate...
Edit: I think it's because of software that my phone doesn't get detected, https://prnt.sc/G232WPcRRqC1 mi unlock tool does detect it although only in fastboot mode, not recovery.
edit2: mi pc suite detects my phone in Fastboot mode but writes this... https://prnt.sc/4dB06CtvIfhz
can you enter in recovery mode ? when you enter in recovery mode, what options do you have ?

Hey, just download the Fastboot ROM for your device, extract the boot.img from there and place it in the platform-tools folder.
Then open CMD inside the platform-tools folder and execute the below command to flash the stock boot.img file [assuming you are in the Fastboot Mode]:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
You may then boot to the OS via the below command
Code:
fastboot reboot
Sidenote: To avoid such scenarios in the near future, please refrain from directly flashing the boot.img. Rather first temporary boot via
Code:
fastboot boot magisk_patched_boot.img
And then use the Direct Install feature of Magisk for permanent root

https://prnt.sc/Oyjs9lxGVFX8 It's same as in this picture, not my phone tho. I didn't try erase data because I think it will disable USB debugging and I chose to wait for answers on forums.

Hey, thanks for help, I want to clarify 2 things:
1.
Hey, just download the Fastboot ROM for your device, extract the boot.img from there and place it in the platform-tools folder.
Then open CMD inside the platform-tools folder and execute the below command to flash the stock boot.img file [assuming you are in the Fastboot Mode]:
Do I do it with stock boot.img or I should patch it?
2. Isn't that the same as instructions I linked in thread post?

flash the stock image first. after you get a fully fuctional phone attempt the rooting guide. as in, booting the phone as normal, be relieved that you did not hard brick it. then try again, and follow every step of the way.

I just did it and situation is same, it enters bootloops in fastboot... I just remembered one thing and don't know how important it is but maybe makes a difference.
If I recall correctly, when I first flashed patched.img, the installation process wrote sending boot_b but after that it always said sending boot_a
like in this screenshot https://prnt.sc/t931it_cCodT .
Maybe it is root of problems?
I also want to mention a little detail that I rememeber.
When I was checking MIUI updates on site, the release was Stable BETA but only recovery was available, although now fastboot is available too, it's just Stable - without Beta, Perhaps my ROM was Stable Beta and not stable? It's 13.04 GLOBAL.
well, it does have importance. newer devices have 2 partition for booting. while older have only 1.
try this
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
fastboot reboot

Oh, I forgot to mention that you should only download the same version of Fastboot ROM that was installed on your device. And then flash the stock boot.img from that ROM to both slots using the commands given by @Fytdyh

Tried still same... maybe it's something with vbmeta.img?
or if your inactive partition is still non-corrupted [fingers crossed] then you could try booting it via that slot. For that, change the active partition via
Code:
fastboot set_active other
and then
Code:
fastboot reboot

I don't mind using another ROM if it will fix my issues, is it even possible to install from situation like this?

Can anyone help me with this Ive got a Nexus S, with the latest stable vers. of Cyanogen (update-cm-7.1.0-NS-signed) and ClockworkMod as the recovery image. Was working great then all of a sudden the phone will not load past the "Google" unlocked padlock image OR go into recovery mode. I can get into the bootloader alright (vol+ key & power button) and it confirms that the phone's still "UNLOCKED". All I get, on the screen, when I try to get into ClockworkMod is "Google" and the unlocked padlock image.
Can't even get into the SD card when I hook the phone up to my PC. Tried flashing CWM says that its sent and written but still wont load.
Any ideas how I can at least get into recovery mode? Once i'm in, in theory (if there's nothing terminal, hardware-wise) I can wipe the phone, mount the sd card, put a fresh vers. of CyanogenMod on it and start again.
Wrong section.
Soooooo moved.
Obligatory YOU MORON BLAH BLAH RABBLE RABBLE!!!!
....
Seriously though, what version of the Nexus S do you have? Just want to rule out any ID10T erros first. Second what CMW did you flash via fastboot? Thridly what was your fastboot command?

How did you root it?
You just need to use fastboot to flash CWM & a new rom
Example for the rom:
fastboot update ROMFILENAME.ZIP -w

Edit: There, got you the Cyanogenmod page. It's a step by step guide. Skip the bootloader unlocking section. Do all the rest.

Do you have a working adb setup on your computer?
Put your device in fastboot mode ( VOL up + power button)
Make sure it's properly connected and interfacing with adb (you can type "adb devices" and you should see your device in the list)
If you don't see any string of characters after typing adb devices, then you don't have a working adb setup. You need either a standalone adb or the android SDK.

Alright. Try to flash CWM recovery first, as stated in the Cyanogenmod guide. Then once that's done, boot back into CWM and flash CM7.
Did that and it says that everything goes through, move down to recovery and it just loops the "google" padlock screen

Ah okay, maybe a corrupted boot.img
Download the full 2.3.6 rom for your model
i9020a
i9020t/i9023
You can get the model in fastboot mode at the top if you're unsure of which you own.
Extract the ZIP contents and grab hold of boot.img. Flash this boot.img using fastboot
Example: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Once that is done, reboot to fastboot and flash CWM. Then from CWM flash superuser and whichever ROM you want.

Nothings working. flashed the boot then CWM still cant get into recovery. Just right back to the "google" page
I am not sure if this works on the nexus s but give it a try.
Instead of flashing the recovery try and boot it. Change the command to fastboot boot recovery .....instead of flash.

This post specifically helped me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19531979&postcount=30
just rename the file "install-recovery.sh" which is in the /etc folder. You can only access it with a root file manager (rootexplorer $4 on the market)
make sure your new file is not ending with .sh
It appears that this file keeps writing stock recovery to your phone. Once you erase it, flash CWM recovery and then flash your rom. Hope it helps.
Nice catch. Didn't even think about it getting rewritten every boot.

By BL u mean bootloader? My stock bootloader is 4.2.1 Jelly Bean. I tried to dl the twrp.blob from the twrp website with -4.2 and try to use the terminal emulator thingy but it still boot into CWM based Recovery.
However, I just bought the ROM Toolbox Pro in Google Play and use the 'Flash Recovery' but it search my whole tablet and returns nothing while i have already copy and paste the twrp.blob into the/sdcard/

I plan to root it into a custom rom but ended up installing cwm which I later found out to be incompatible with my device. This is because I thought that everyone need to undergo these three process (root>install recovery>install rom) now I'm trying to remove or replace this cwm with a twrp then I can start installing my custom rom. I have already root my tablet with supersu (kingo). Did I do anything wrong on my steps above? If yes, please enlighten me. Thanks
anyway, what's a super user binary?

Fastboot utility is very sensitive to connection type. It can refuse to work on some laptops and usb ports on front pannel of desktop PC. Also do not use usb hub or tablet dock with fastboot. And if Windows device manager shows tablet as something like "asus bootloader interface" or "asus fastboot interface" (don't remember exact name) is probably shouldn't be a driver issue.

Did You know that to use fastboot tablet should be loaded in fastboot mode? If You connect it in fastboot mode and Windows shows no recognised fastboot or bootloader interface You need a proper driver.
So, you suggest that i need to use a different pc to do the fastboot thing? What are the drivers do i need to install? Where can i download it? Maybe my wind8 64bit professional got some flaw/bug. Thanks for helping. Will try it out when i get back home.

Hey there. I hate to bother everyone, i really do, but after searching countless forums, and trying infinite solutions, i'm at a loss of what to do. I want to flash to stock rom, I'm on paranoid android at the moment. Now normally this wouldn't be an issue- but somehow, someway, my bootloader is locked, and i cannot get it to unlock again at all. i've tried doing it with the OPO tool, tried through cmd, nothing. all that happens upon running fastboot oem unlock is my device boots into recovery (philz). i have no idea what to do, but it's really bumming me out. My model is the 64gb one.
also as a side problem, i originally tried flashing THIS ROM, and ever since then my fastboot is in the chinese version. I couldn't flash to stock before hand because it kept telling me my fastboot was outdated. how can i fix this as well?
i really, really, REALLY appreciate any help i can get. i always surf for hours on forums trying to resolve the problem myself before making a new thread, but i have no other options now.
You did mess up pretty bad (by posting in the wrong section).
Does the command prompt give you any error when you try to unlock the bootloader?
Try reading through this thread, it may help (read all of it before you attempt anything)

my sincerest apologies. i haven't actually used XDA in a while. give me a little bit though, upon trying again, apparently my abd isn't working right and isn't recognized as an internal command.
update: those threads always result in telling me to do this which is what i'm trying to do right now, though i've tried before and still tend to get a straight boot into recovery.
Sounds like you are not in the correct directory to run adb.
Try this:
cd (location of adb.exe)
example:
cd C:\android\platform-tools\
Then try to run this command with your device plugged in:
adb.exe devices

i'm in the right directory. i'm following this guide and i'm at the part where it tells me to type "fastboot oem unlock" it then tells me to do a fastboot reboot after that script finishes running which is where the problem comes in. the phone reboots into recovery IMMEDIATELY after inputting the oem unlock command, not giving me the chance to do anything else.

Does the command prompt give you any error when you try to unlock the bootloader?
Try reading through this thread, it may help (read all of it before you attempt anything)

I was kind of in the same situation as you, nothing else would work for me lol. If all else fails, give it a shot!
Go back to stock and start over, please see this guide to go back to stock:
Download the official CM11S from cyanogen website http://builds.cyngn.com/factory/bacon/cm-11.0-XNPH33R-bacon-signed-fastboot.zip and follow this guide:
First time flashing CyanogenMod 11S on your device, or coming from another ROM (e.g. ColorOS)?
WARNING: This procedure will factory reset your device! Accounts, applications, settings, everything will be lost! This is really a factory reset.
Download the file cm-11.0-XNPH33R-bacon-signed-fastboot.zip to your PC from the link above
Reboot your device into Fastboot mode by holding PWR+VOL-UP
Connect your device via USB to your PC
Unpack the downloaded zip
Open a command prompt (Windows) or terminal (Linux/Mac) and perform the following fastboot commands:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
fastboot flash dbi sdi.mbn
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot flash rpm rpm.mbn
fastboot flash tz tz.mbn
fastboot flash LOGO logo.bin
fastboot update -w cm-11.0-XNPH33R-bacon-signed-fastboot.zip (file used to extract the files above)
This will make you device go back to stock, check if it works now.
Hope this helps.

Do you have a custom recovery? If you do, your bootloader is unlocked.
Just sideload a XNPH38R.zip, Calkulin's one, or the official. Then try to use fastboot once more.
My guess is that this fixes your problem and that fastboot will work again.
P.S. Even if you haven't been on XDA for a while how in God's name would you post in "Original Android Development"...?

**** i didn't even realize i was in original. my bad wow. Yeah i have philz right now. do i need to wipe everything to do this. i'm scared of wiping because if i do, since i can't flash anything, i'll be stuck without a rom at all. i'm downloading the official zip, and i'm about to try sideloading it.
edit: sideload failed. might be because i didn't wipe. error in /tmp/update.zip (status 7). it suggested i do a factory reset, tried that, still same error.

So you can get the adb and fastboot from anywhere on the command line, then open the command prompt and navigate to that folder and copy line by line from the above tutorial.
The last line will require the original ZIP file to be in the same folder has the extracted files.
Hope this helps.
Okay, here's the deal... I have an OPO (not mine) that is completely stock running, I would presume 5.0.2. I'm not exactly sure which build. But I was told that she turned the phone off at night and charged it. Turned it on in the morning and it got stuck on the cyanogen logo. No boot loops, no getting past that. Just sitting there. The device is stock, bootloader locked, no root. I also highly doubt that ADB debugging was turned on while it was working...
I'm trying to wipe it bring it back to stock, but I'm not having any success. I've gone in to Cyanogen recovery and wipe/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe media. Reboot, still stuck. When I click apply update in recovery, it gives me a bunch of errors saying so and so directory isn't found. So that leaves to me to believe that something went bad.
I just tried to fastboot oem unlock, said it finished in a few seconds. Then I tried to fastboot the factory image files and after the first one (modem), it gave me an error saying the bootloader is locked.
I'm out of ideas and the unbrick a hard bricked OPO thread said it wouldn't work, so I haven't tried it. Any advice on where to look would be much appreciated.
Anybody?

That's the problem. I can't because the bootloader is locked. When I try to unlock it, it runs the command. Then when I try to fastboot flash, it tells me the bootloader is locked. I have my own OPO that I have unlocked and rooted, so knowing how to unlock isn't an issue either.

Yes, all updated drivers. Drivers are not the issue since I can execute commands while in fastboot. The issue is not having an unlocked bootloader, so I can't flash anything and it won't unlock bootloader.

No, phone was not encrypted and ColorOS unbrick didn't work. It recognizes the phone, I hit start and it does it's thing. After first green bar, it boot loops instead of flashing all the files. Ran as admin and all the drivers are good.

If by sideload, you mean copy the rom to device and then load..I can not access device storage. ADB sideload rom through command line gives me the same errors you see in the above picture.

With adb you can navigate to system and change built.prompt and enable debugg mode
All the other method i know need root so dd (replace)recovery from adb

Another trick for installation is
Code:
fastboot boot <path/name of the recovery twrp img>
It will boot your phone into recovery once from the recovery image
stored in your PC temporarily
then you can flash the zip either by sideload or
Check this

Haz a parametre here
There is a way to flash an unlocked bootloader if you can't fastboot oem unlock.
As you already tried the color.zip method you should already have most of the needed files.
Download the attachment and unzip it into color folder replacing the files emmc_appsboot.mbn and rawprogram0_64.xml (backup the originals first).
-power off the OPO
-hold VolUp and plug into PC
-on PC open device manager, OPO should be in QDloader 9008
-keep an eye on device manager and start msm8974downloadtool from color.zip
-when in device manager the QDloader 9008 disconnects press stop in msm8974downloadtool
-OPO should now be Qualcomm Diagnostics 9006 in device manager
-download MiFlash from here http://www.androidbrick.com/ultimate-qualcomm-snapdragon-unbrick-guide-snapdragons-are-unbrickable/ and set it up like on the pictures on that website
-click refresh. now it should show you OPO on the respective COM port. click flash
-when successfull finished unplug and press and hold power for 30 seconds
-now start into fastboot with power + VolUp and there is your unlocked bootloader
-now you can flash cos with fastboot
The rawprogram0_64xml is edited so that it only writes partition table and flashes sbl1, dbi, rpm, tz, recovery and emmc_appsboot.
This worked for me when i couldn't flash with msm8974downloadtool, it always flashed modem, started with flashing system and then began from the start again.
