Hello guys,
i wanted to upgrade my Ressurection Remix ROM and managed to softbrick my phone. While flashing the software (Flashing system partition unconditionally) TWRP got stuck.
My phone got an unlocked bootloader and i already tried to flash the global MIUI ROM via EDL and also fastboot. The flashing process is successfull but after i restart my phone i'm stuck at the MI Logo with the moving Android Circles for loading.
I let this run for ~6 hours, no progress at all.
I also tried flashing the Global DEV Rom, same as above.
Factory Reset via Recovery Mode (with MI Suite) also didn't do the trick.
I think something with the bootloader went wrong. Any ideas to unbrick it?
I can access Fastboot and EDL Mode, unlocked Bootloader. I also got a TWRP backup with System and Data Partition, but currently only the original Revocery is installed.
Any help is very much appreciated, thank you.
Did you tried using this guide to flash stock firmware/recovery?
http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
Yes, the problem is not to flash the Fastboot ROM, but after successfully flashing the ROM i got stuck at the MI Logo with the loading Android dots
That's weird.. this bootloop usually happens when you flash stock MIUI and still have TWRP installed, can you check if you have stock recovery after fastboot flash?
After i flashed the global DEV ROM i got the stock recovery where i can choose between Wiping Data, switch to MI Suite etc.
Edit: Its not really an bootloop, it just gets stuck there without doing anything
Update: Got TWRP back, now if i want to flash any ROM (doesn't matter if stock/custom) i'm stuck at TWRP saying: "Patching system unconditionally..." it stays there for hours.
Any advice in this case?
guys,, i was facing same problem. I also agree that 8012... status does not matter to unlocking bootloader. I was tried all but fail after granted permission. I was tried daily. after 5 days when I tried with old mi unlock tool I got error at 50%. After that restarted my phone and clicked on settings and in developer menu, I watched i clicked on allow unlock bootloader but I forgot to click on usg debbuging. after clicked it I went for fastboot with old unlock tool and I got success. thankyou.
Try my method you will get success. hit like. stay tune. tandob is here to help you guys.

Hi! I just bought a Honor 9 STF-AL00, build: STF-AL00C00B201.
As it is the chinese version, I wanted to rebrand it, so I follow the instructions on https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/how-to/guide-honor-9-t3653719.
Unlocking bootloader was successful and as chinese firmware, it did not had a FRP lock.
The first time, rebranding stopped just before the menu.
The second time, I could access the menu and did the install.
But it looks like it did not go as expected because when the phone booted, it did not load TWRP but eRecovery.
So I booted in fastboot, it says phone locked & FRP locked.
I booted once again in eRecovery to download package from server and recovery but it says getting package info failed.
I tried to install stockrom from sd but it didnot work out.
I still have the bootloader code, but now i cant even install TWRP.
Can anyone please help me?
It is a brand new phone, I even havent use it yet and it's already bricked :'(
I install an service full repair stock via dload

You can always re-unlock your phones bootloader again, the key is always same, then flash or boot twrp with fastboot.
Some developers says the command for oreo is: fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk [file name] but I used this: fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk_a [file name]
You even can try to just boot twrp without flashing it to your recovery by simple typing: fastboot boot [file name]
If fastboot can flash twrp, turn your phone off then hold volume up/+ and power button same time and hold them until the state of unlocked warning appears.
You can use dload method or you can use HuRupdater method to flash firmware. You'll find introduction for how to do it.
Just search on xda
My system crashed when I was typing in Whatsapp and since then the phone is trying to reboot but is stuck eternally in the boot screen with the Mi and Android logo. I only had 100 MB free space, so maybe the system cannot boot because of that?
- The newest version of Mi PC Suite cannot connect and an older MiPhoneAssistant version is only able to flash the ROM.
- I tried to clear caches with fastboot but it says "device is locked. Cannot erase". Also flashing TWRP is not possible.
- When trying to start adb shell in bootloader mode it only says "error: closed".
- It is possible to start adb shell when the phone is stuck in the boot screen, but without root permission I cannot access the data folder
So I really tried a lot, but as this whole topic is new to me, maybe someone has another idea? I once already successfully recovered encrypted files from an old Windows partition and I didn't imagine that this would be so difficult on a phone. I only need my notes from the MIUI Notes app, (almost) all the other stuff was backuped.
Is your phone bootloader is locked?

Mi A3 weirdly stuck in fastboot mode, please someone help
I recently opened my mi A3's bootloader and then flashed twrp image as it was error or something, my phones got stuck on fastboot mode and after that I have to flash stock rom v11.0.11.0 through mi flash tool and I successfully worked but then I installed magisk and flashed boot image to obtain boot image and that too successful worked but guess what real problem starts here, after the other day I restarted my device and android one logo showed up and then it got stuck on fastboot mode, then I have to again flash the same rom and again patched boot image file to get my phone back working and it went well for 2-3 days but suddenly, yesterday magisk notified that "DTFO is patched, tap to reboot" and I ignored and after that after few hours my phone automatically got restart and stuck on fastboot again and now when I try to flash the same rom again, it takes more than 3500s in mi flash tool and still not showing success, currently stuck on fastboot, no flash tool is working, can someone help please??
I have been experiencing MIUI on MI A3 for a long time, and I tried to go back to Android One because of drain battery. I attempted to flash in MiFlash. Obviously it succeed, it took about 700 seconds, and I obviously unlocked the device, but unfortunately, F*#k Xiaomi, when it rebooted, it went back to Fastboot logo, and it was even more confused when the device was LOCKED again. The unlock icon disappeared in Android One logo, when I checked on fastboot getvar all command, it said that the device wasnt unlocked. IT COMPLETELY LOST UNLOCK, AND I CANT DO ANYTHING. I CAN NOT BOOT TO THE ROM TO ENABLE OEM UNLOCK CUZ IT IS BRICK. I CAN NOT FLASH NEITHER TWRP NOR MIUI ROM NOR EVERYTHING CUZ BOOTLOADER IS GONE, THE PHONE CAN NOT REACH ANY COMMAND AND I CAN NOT FLASH THROUGH MIFLASH ANYMORE . Is there any solution for it, do I need to sell Mi A3 to exchange to iPhone 6s? SCREW MiFlash, everytime I flashed, it always gives a nightmare, rather than giving a hope. . Now I just need a solution to flash any possible rom without unlock bootloader, ANYTHING. Thank you, I will be appreciated.

I think that your current slot is b
Same situation here.
My fault reflashing stock android and locked in partition B.
Now only have a fastboot mode, but with locked bootloader i´m lost.
EDL mode bloqued by Xiaomi (Only verified account)
Xiaomi Flash tool formats your device & locks the bootloader by default (yeah, Xiaomi is stupid). You have to manually change this before you flash your device (the option is located at bottom-right side of the program). Since your device got locked, I'm afraid you won't be able to flash stock ROM with this tool anymore. And custom ROMs/TWRP won't work with locked bootloader. I think EDL is the only solution now.
So I tried installing custom rom lineage os 19.1 . Everything was going flawlessly like from unlocking to installing GApps . Then when I tried to reboot system i was stuck at at lineage logo booting . I stays stuck for like 5 minutes then again reboots. I tried the whole process again and again and again (wiping the cache,system etc. to installing GApps) and all the 3 times it installs without any error but at the time i try to reboot system its the same old story. It gets stuck for 5mins and then again reboot and again gets stuck for 5min and again the same thing. So I thought about flashing through mi flash tool and idiot me pulled of the usb cable at the middle of flashing thinking it ended (Wasnt showing success in result) so it booted but right after setting up pops out, the phone again reboots . So I again went on trying to flash the device through mi flash tool and now it shows "Error writing in partition ; Critical Partition Flashing is not allowed" . Then I tried to unlock via cmd as i cant access to mi unlock (I had to login via QR code when i was unlocking and i had to the same so i couldnt), so as i try to unlock via cmd it says "token verify failed" . I cant even go to EDL mode . I dont mind on losing data I just want to keep it alive somehow. Any helps would be appreciated TIA !
I also tried different flash tool (older ones) but it didnt work
