factory reset and flashed another rom via fasboot, but reboot stuck at the start screen, just like the left one on the photo I submitted.
Do another unbricking, and everything back to the state I reported.
It's confirmed to be a hardware problem, when the monitor is replaced, everything back to normal.
I think there is problem with build.prop .. try google ... To restore build.prop
It seems that the Kernel is also affected so it must be hardware problem
hi did you solve this?
I have the same problem

Hi, I have exactly the same problem after following the tutorial in here to get rid of the vendor encrypted god damn rom. Everything was working right before it so I don't buy the hardware issue. After flashing using flashone 2.0 I did ended up with my screen like this.
I tried several qfill file from severals sources and always the same result. I even try to go on and flash TWRP and RR rom but screen stay that way.
Please, I'm seriously desperate right now... I need your help guys and looks like i'm not the only one.

It was solved without replacing the screen!
Ok so, I did as shown in the topic : https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/help/flash-eui-rom-fastboot-t3525831
download twrp (The one I know didn't had the touchscreen issue)
boot from twrp (wish I had know about it before!) and not from one installed
upload zip file to /sdcard ( here's the catch, while in TWRP in don't have access to adb, the phone doesn't connect to pc or I don't know even I mount it, could be me. So i just put the archive at the root of the phone before booting to twrp from adb)
install rom
reboot
And ... it's ****ING WORKING!*
Really big thanks to ThE_MarD for his help!

To put a file on the phone while in twrp just use adb push

That's what I tried but as stated in the last link, I had no connection to adb while in twrp after cleaning up.
Anyway that's settled for me, it's mor for other that have encountered this as well. Replacing screen is not the only way.

The CWM is not installed properly...your phone is not bricked.
Disable LG Virtual Modem in Device Manager and then your phone will be detected..Flash stock rom through kdz and then root.
Make sure the data is not switched off when downloading cwm (probably screen off = data off)
Dude relax this is heppen to me like 3-4 time.thats why i am not using rom manager to flash recovery.use lgmdp and flash recovery and flash any rom.and fellow all step and reinstall drive sometime phone detected.try 3-5 time and follow all steps.

Problem Solved!!!
The prob was mainly because of some problem with drivers. i uninstalled it and again installed the drivers now the phone is detected. Also i installed custom rom too... thnx fr those who helped...
Keep the phone switched off and try with lgmdp...it worked for me
It automatically turns on the phone and goes to emergency mode.don't even touch the phone until all the steps are done.

My phone recently I have done a flash rom as usual, but all the problems started from this point. I miss miui 9 because it's stable and fast. I have downloaded the 9.5 mui flash on the OrangeFox Twrp. After that, I waited a long time. But the flash did not finish for a time I can't wait to do so. Press and hold the button to turn on twrp again and get back to miui 10 again. Yes, it's done.
And after that I started to flash my rom again because I broke my rom
I have to format
Now I can't flash any rom.
Most messages have failed to mount system or failed to mount data and are usually accompanied by error 7 while the flash rom
My friends told me to change twrp.
I try
twrp-3.2.3-0-vince
OrangeFox R9
OrangeFox R8.3-unified
PitchBlack
All are the latest versions. As far as I can find Of course, I can't solve the problem.
And I tried to edit the text in updater-script Which still does not work
And I have tried using MiFlash
MiFlash is used. I can go to Rom Dev, but I can not go to magisk. It caused me to bootloop and I made a flash. lazyflasher-no-verity-opt-encrypt But still not working
I have been using MiFlash continuously. Sometimes I wait 300 seconds and finish, but the cause of Bootloop is unknown or sometimes shows the system has been destroyed.
MiFlash. Maybe I use it. I waited more than 300 seconds until 1500 seconds. Nothing happened. I continued to do this and successfully, but not three cars. I did not have to go to the magisk as usual and caused Bootloop.
Lastly, I was able to use it, but my imei number is missing, so I can't use the SIM. I can format it to flash rom, but it's still not successful.
How should I solve this problem? Please help me I have tried many ways, please. :crying: :crying: :crying:

As far my experience goes, looks like you messed up your partitions. Look for a tutorial to recreate partitions from scratch.

Imei number missing means you lost efs partitions. This is the first partition to backup after installing custom recovery. These partition can also be backup by adb. sorry to say you messed up real bad,

FIX
What i did - installed colorOS stock recovery. Downloaded ozip update firmware from realme's update page link below in my posts. Also, stock recovery's link on the same posts. it can solve pretty much every issues! i figured it out on my own so i would really appreciate it if someone gives me credit before using it somewhere else. This forum is pretty much dead, people are keep questionaing, there is no one to solve their problem too. I am done with oppos and realmes, i am gonna exchange it soon and gonna get rid of this dead forum and dead development. Cioo.
why do no one fking helps me here? ban me! what a stupid forum!

I literally spended whole day trying to fix. Just flash a stock recovery. If you already have it. Go to this official page - https://www.realme.com/in/support/software-update
Download '' ozip " file. Put it in your sdcard/ internal storage. Boot into stock recovery that you installed using fastboot command or volume down key whatever works. select language, click on install , choose " ozip" file downloaded from official website just let it complete installing. you are done. ? just tell me if you dont have stock recovery. i will upload it on gdrive.
Here is the colorOS recovery a.k.a Stock recovery - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1B8iurEwmlQ80b5dAn7aapNoAdsMBToiW/view?usp=sharing
Flash it with fastboot command - fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
download ozip file from the official website put it on your sdcard.
Boot into recovery volume down + power
select language
select install from storage
locate ozip file
click on install
PS - the link i provided above, it will only give ozip format as it is official page oppo uses ozip format so you dont have to worry about installing wrong one, just be careful of which device's file you are downloading, make sure its only your device. it can solve any issues that you are facing in miracle thunder box.
Remember, ColorOS recovery will only detect '' ozip " Format
I had redmi 4x santoni which i exchanged with realme, now if you look at redmi 4x you will see their developers and makers have reached stable pie with literally zero bugs and look at this forum, still on oreo, TWRP is full of bugs too. There is no assurance that we will get fking update of coloros pie too on our realme 1 its time that we should move on and grab differernt device which has active development going on atleast! I have decided already. enough of suffering.

Well, you can go to the nearest realme service center, they will surely help you, I had my device in bootloop, they fixed it for me without even charging a penny, so I suggest you to visit the service center at once.

Hello,
I wanted to root my phone to MIUI version 13.
I have rooted before and I was at MIUI 12.6.
While I was romming my phone it failed (which i didnt see) and followed the guide and wiped everything.
Now I am stuck without an operating system, I have tried flashing but when I was flashing and it came to 1201 seconds then it said "error: flash timeout"
Does anyone know what to do?

I found a way. mi flash tool seems to have a time limit of 700 seconds, so we have to flash the rom with less time than that. Previously I flashed using my old laptop (using HDD) and there was a timeout error. then I borrowed my friend's laptop which has pretty good specs (using SSD) and I managed to flash it.
Use old version of miflashtool
Ayuda no me deja flashear..
For those who have the same problem, download the most recent adb platform tools folder and replace the files in the miflash folder, that was my solution.

can u give the boot.img file or full rom ?
I'm having the very same problem right now. I tried to root the device and everything worked well so far, but neither Wifi nor Bluetooth is getting activated. Changing to the other boot slot ended up in a boot loop back to fastboot.
@sadatkabir50 Where did you get the stock rom from or what was your approach to root the device?

Same problem. Everything working fine just Wi-Fi,camera,Bluetooth not working.
Which method did you use to root your device?
I'm following @halloweenm925's advice and downloaded the firmware for the EU version of the CPH2465 with a second device. How would you move forward if you had this file?
this boot img can boot ur phone but wifi and everything not working..
So I got the stock rom but neither the Wifi nor the Bluetooth is coming up. I'm kind of desperate right now. Can anybody support?

inbox me bro.. just now i fixed the problem
Solved the problem. Here is how I did it.
1) On a second Android phone, download the Oxygen Updater App
2) Open the app, set it to advanced settings, chose the device with the semi-bricked status, download the full zip
3) the zip file will be downloaded to sdcard's user root => transfer the zip file to your semi-bricked device
4) on your semi-bricked device, go to settings>updates, click on the top right three-point-menue and chose "local installation"
5) select the zip file and do the update
After the unpacking and verification is finished, reboot the phone and things should be back to normal.
If you want, you can now give the rooting a second try. There are a lot of tutorials, I used this one since I had the stock full rom:
Root OnePlus Nord CE 5G using Magisk [No TWRP Required]
Do you own a OnePlus Nord CE 5G android smartphone? If yes, today, we will share with you how you can Root OnePlus Nord CE 5G with the help of the Magisk
magiskapp.com
The full stock rom which is downloaded as described above needs to be extracted with the help of a script: as described here:
[LINUX][GUIDE] ROM Payload Image Dump
Now we have dumpers for Win/Mac/Linux! Great!
forum.xda-developers.com
So the steps to root the device would be
1) download the full rom as described above
2) extract the boot.img with the help of aforementioned python script
3) follow the steps as described in the tutorial linked above
I think what caused the initial issue on my side was that I simply was not on the same OS version on the device as the boot.img which I extracted from the full zip which is totally my own fault because almost every tutorial mentions it explicitly that you have to have the latest update on your to-be-rooted device AND make sure that you have the same ROM available to root your device.
Questions welcome!
