"Bricked" device after TWRP flash from Fastboot [RESOLVED] - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

I unlocked bootloader, went to fastboot and tried to flash TWRP - https://eu.dl.twrp.me/mido/ (I have SN version of RN4). Flash went without error, but then I pressed volume-up and power-on and phone didn't go on. Notification LED for battery doesn't light when connected and I can't turn the phone on or access the fastboot. It seems bad to me. Is there anything I can do? I spent my only money for this device and fact I might kill it makes me cry.

Did you flash twrp successfully right?
If yeah, then try enter into fastboot mode [volume down + power key] use fastboot commands to boot to TWRP -
Fastboot boot <whatever the recovery name.img> hit enter, then wait sometime it'll eventually boot to trwp, from twrp flash lazyflasher zip, reboot your phone, that's the way.
If you can't go on fastboot mode, then try this - http://en.miui.com/thread-565784-1-1.html

Well, I managed to do what you said, I was in TWRP and flashed lazyflasher. I clicked reboot but phone don't go on. If I hold power on phone long enough (7 sec or so) it just shows Xiaomi logo for a split of second and then go off. Before I did that, I held button long enough and was able to boot into system. Now I can't.

Ohhh! Yeah! I too faced this issue bruh! [look here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/help/redmi-note-4-isnt-booting-flashing-twrp-t3587781] same issue, it's just pops mi logo for a sec when I long press power key.
How I recovered my device -
Went to fastboot mode - volume down + power key.
Then fastboot boot <recovery.img>
Wait let it boot to TWRP, once you get into twrp, just wipe everything except internal /SD card, then choose install zip, flash los14.1. Firmware, then flash any custom rom + Gapps, hit reboot!
This fixed my issue.
Try this»^

Choose gapps - opengapps.org [choose Pico variant, or whatever the package you want] (7.1/arm64)

Yeah, it does But actually one more question. I tried to get to TWRP once again but there is no TWRP after holding Vol+ and Power on. There is still stock recovery something which looks like this. Everything else is fine but I don't feel like going through fastboot when recovery is needed.

Dude nah!!
Follow this to boot recovery mode -
Power off your device
Press volume up + power key until you see MI logo, when you see it, just leave power key but keep hold the volume up.
BTW, which rom did you flashed?

Yeah, I did just like that. Even when I enable advanced reboot in dev options and choose to reboot directly to recovery from system, I get that black screen instead of TWRP.
I flashed LOS 14 for now. Maybe I'll go with RR later.

Oh, root was missing, sure. That's why "su" didn't work. Okay, rooted now. What's next?
BTW: I'm starting to think I never flashed TWRP. I guess I was too hasty after it said it's done. Maybe I should gave it some more time. I immediately pushed Vol+ and Power button. Maybe it wasn't flashed at all or wasn't flashed properly. Should I try to flash it again?

Wait, you got su access? Then wait, u don't need a pc now!
You can flash recovery.img from flashify app [DL it from PS]
Download flashify app from PS, open it, give su access.
Then choose flash recovery.img from the list, locate twrp.img, once its done just hit the reboot now, when it prompts.

Yeah, I thought it was the reason why you asked me to flash that addonsu-arm64-signed.zip. But I installed Flashify and it said I don't have a root. So I flashed SuperSU and then flashed recovery through Flashify. Now it works! So, again, thank you! You helped me a lot today. :good:

Anyway, you're good with TWRP now?
It's easy to enter into recovery mode using physical buttons?

Missing recovery?

I bought a used HTC DNA that is S-ON, and does not say UNLOCKED or TAMPERED, but I have not been able to boot into recovery. When i hold volume down and power I just get blinking soft buttons and then the phone reboots. Is there away to flash the stock recovery back on the phone without having to unlock bootloader?
I can adb into hboot via the cli, but i have no options to get into recovery mode. This all started because i wanted to wipe cache.
Thanks.
have you tried "adb reboot recovery"? That should boot you straight into it.

If you still need help, download an app called "flash gui" on the market. Download a recovery image, click img on the one of two options, and flash it. Then hold down the volume down and power and it should work.

Boot loop after flashing TWRP

Hi all,
I am experiencing a boot loop (Amazon logo loping) after flashing an img file of TWRP via Flashify. I have tried factory resetting and tried to enter recovery mode but nothing works, connecting to my computer just causes the device to loop. Please help, any suggestions are welcome.

What was the last bootloader that you had in there? Which version, 4.5.3, or something else?

it was 4.5.3. I believe I had 4.5.4 initially and read I had to upgrade to 5.0 and downgrade to 4.5.3 to root, which I did.

OK, so when you hold "Power" and "Vol+" during boot, TWRP does not come up? Did you flash the right version of TWRP ?

OK, it looks you flashed TWRP into your boot partition instead of recovery! Your only attempt now is to try to sideload 4.5.4 or even 5.2.0 via the stock Amazon recovery. See if it works (use the directions from the 5.2.0 to 4.5.3 downgrade), and supply it with the standard Amazon's bin file. You will lose root, but if this works, you could downgrade via 5.2.0
@bibikalka, do you know how this would happen? Would flashify cause or allow this? thx

Yep, I recall that Flashify gives you 2 possible places to put the image, either boot or recovery. Choose the wrong one, and you are in trouble !
Thanks! Finally posted the guide and totally overlooked this. Time to edit! (EDIT: Whew, it's fine. My brain is fried.)

OK, indeed. It's 5.2.0 recovery that offered ADB sideload option. 4.5.3 does not have it.
At this stage you only have 1 path forward, which is warranty replacement.

My Fire HD7 is boot looping and I can't not boot into TWRP recovery mode manually. I always used adb reboot recovery. Can someone tell me how to boot into recovery mode step by step? Thanks in advance!
I doubt this "proper method" will work while in boot loop, but here's it is: Hold down power button until Power Off? prompt appears and say yes. When device is off, press and hold power and volume up buttons at the same time until you see Amazon logo, then let go. If you can't power off, try holding down power and volume+. That may work. And if it doesn't, try holding down all three buttons together.
EDIT: @tacoda, this was for you. (Think I hit quick reply to OP, not to you.)

Did you try powering off first? (Sorry, never had bootloop. Can you power off? probably not. Edit: Of course not. I already said ^^ that wouldn't work.)

yep, i done the same thing. eventually I worked out that i had to hold up volume and power buttons to exit fastboot after flashing twrp, and keep holding until you see recovery booting.
twrp then boots up and offers to make system changes so it won't get overwritten on normal boot, just swipe at the bottom of the screen to let twrp make the changes

Is it booting straight to stock recovery holding the buttons? if it's just going straight the normal system boot, it would suggest the button combo isn't working. Maybe it's a different combo for x821 software. Drivers won't have an affect on a button combo reboot afaik.

Start your phone in fastboot mode, flash TWRP, disconnect and reconnect the battery.
Now hold volume down + power until you see the LG logo, keep holding volume down and let go of the power button for a moment and then hold the power button again while still holding the volume down button.
You will now see a prompt asking if you'd like to factory reset, press yes to both prompts.
You will now be inside TWRP.
Which variant you are using.

I've tried this process myself and I get the same result. Reply Yes, Yes to factory reset and it *should* then start TWRP but it doesn't. You end up with a wiped phone and have to start all over again. Tried process a few times and never works.

The only reason it wouldn't work is if you did not flash TWRP correctly, make sure flashing TWRP with fastboot was successful before disconnecting the battery and entering the factory reset prompt.

Yes I know it is very annoying when that happens, you should definitely flash the latest version regardless, I'm sure you won't have the problem after flashing :good:.

Found it! After you install twrp, you just execute 2 more commands:
fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache
Don't reboot, just turn it off.
Works like a charm!

TWRP flash succesful, but no recovery boot.

Hi All,
I have an Redmi 3 pro with unlocked BL and the latest "official" weekly 7.3.9 from xiaomi.eu and latest TWRP 3.0.2.0 from official twrp site.
I am unable to flash twrp.
I flash it with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img then boot into it using fastboot boot recovery.img with no issue at all.
Then,
if i reboot into recovery from twrp itself it still works.
if i let it boot the phone in its bootloader (POW+VOL_UP the one where you can choose "download" "fasboot" or "recovery") and i select recovery, it does not boot. The phone boots instead.
if i choose from the updater to reboot in recovery, same.
if i choose from flashify (which shows me "stock recovery" is installed), same.
if i use adb reboot recovery same.
i can only boot it using command fastboot boot recovery.img.
It just looks like the twrp flash says OKAY but it's not being flashed.
I've also tried cofface recovery with no success.
i've also tried official twrp app with no success.
everytime flash goes fine and successfully, but i'm unable to boot the phone in recovery itself.
i must always use fastboot boot recovery.img
Hints?
Hi @lalontra,
Use combination of Power+Vol(+)+Vol(-) button. It should boots you to recovery.

It is error in this release ROM
You are not alone, its problem of this concrete ROM from 9.3.2017 ido.! You must flash different ROM, previous release.

Hi,
Did not work.
I have now reverted to 7.2.24 and TWRP from the TWRP from the phone is back. I think something is broken in 7.3.9 global weekly miui build.

For me works
Sent from my Redmi 3 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
The Volume+ and Volume- and Power worked for me even with the rom error. Hold all buttons til you see the Mi logo, then release Power but keep holding both of the Volume buttons. I also reflashed TWRP Recovery via Fastboot, so maybe that was it.
I'm also facing a problem around TWRP 3.0.2.
But different situation
I always failed/unable to boot into recovery or bootloader everytime I click reboot recovery or bootloader button in TWRP recovery mode.
I still try to find a way how to fix it. Because all the articles that I found always explain about "cannot enter to recovery mode from the system", not from the recovery mode itself.
Do you got anything from all the steps above? Please let me know if there something u can share. Thanks in advance
Here's what happened in my xiaomi redmi 3 pro. Always failed to boot into recovery again or into bootloader mode when I'm still in TWRP mode.

Update, once installed 7.3.23 all three buttons combination works!
What still does not work is adb reboot recovery nor reboot in recovery from update page, but this is fine to me.
Thanks a lot!

Hello there, Im also facing the same.
I can enter both recovery / bootloader from key combo but not from the system nor TWRP itself. I cannot really find a way to fix issue wich is kinda annoying for us flashaolics...
hope someone can find a way to fix it!

Hi All,
I have an Redmi 3 pro with unlocked BL and the latest "official" weekly 7.3.9 from xiaomi.eu and latest TWRP 3.0.2.0 from official twrp site.
I am unable to flash twrp.
I flash it with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img then boot into it using fastboot boot recovery.img with no issue at all.
Then,
if i reboot into recovery from twrp itself it still works.
if i let it boot the phone in its bootloader (POW+VOL_UP the one where you can choose "download" "fasboot" or "recovery") and i select recovery, it does not boot. The phone boots instead.
if i choose from the updater to reboot in recovery, same.

if i use adb reboot recovery same.

I'm facing same problem with you since updated to 7.3.9 Global Beta ROM.
I can only boot into TWRP by holding down Power + Vol Up + Vol Down buttons simultaneously.
