Bootloop Mi Logo, only fastboot available

After a restart this morning I am in a bootloop. Only thing I'm able to enter stable is fastboot.
Tried to flash the stock fastboot rom but MiFlash and manually is giving me an error when trying to write the partition.
fastboot flash partition gpt_both0.bin
target reported max download size of 268435456 bytes
sending 'partition' (33 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.006s]
writing 'partition'...
FAILED (remote: failed to write partition)
If I flash TWRP through fastboot I can't enter it with volume up. If I use the bat version to flash TWRP, it restarts with TWRP but after a few seconds in TWRP it reboots into the bootloop.
Anyone any clue before I have to send my phone back to China :/

Use Mi Flash Tool - Install stock recovery
Its a common issue while using Custom recovery. so, to get life to your mobile you have to install stock recovery.
(search google if you cant able to find, because of xda limitation on New Users i cant post any external link here. Sorry!)
Step 1: Download MiFlash Tool & download your fastboot rom.
Step 2: Turn off the device. Press the Volume– key and the Power button at the same time to enter Fastboot mode. Then connect the device to the Windows PC/laptop via a micro USB cable
Step 3: Double click on the downloaded ROM file to decompress it. Open the file folder for the decompressed ROM pack, and copy its path on the computer.
Step 4: Decompress the MIUI ROM flashing tool downloaded in Step 1, and double click on it to install (if there is security warning, select 'Run'). After installation is completed, open MiFlash.exe and paste into the address bar the ROM file folder path copied in the last step.
Click on the first button (circled out in yellow) to Refresh, and MiFlash should automatically recognize the device. Then click the second button (circled out in red) to flash the ROM file to the device.
Step 5: Wait until the progress bar inside MiFlash turns fully green, which means the ROM has been successfully installed. Then your device should automatically boot to the new version.
Step 6: Wait till the phone boot up - at first it may take more than 5 Min.Be patient with it,
Note: Using MiFlash Tool :
At first try to flash without losing data, if doesn't helps, then select Flash All. (for my Redmi 2 prime it worked with flash all). If any error let me know in comment section.:good::good:

Thanks for your suggestion kalachar.
MiFlash is giving me the same error though.
0x8000405: FAILED (remote:failed to write partition)
I managed to enter TWRP once without it rebooting, I checked everything and the problem seems to be nothing from internal memory can be mounted.
I could only mount persist and modem.

Try Full format,
Wipe>Format>type "Yes"
wait for it to complete and then reboot
if the problem still,try flash in Mi flash,.
Hope it useful,.

nothing happen after applying this method

[Guide] Procedure with Video to Return from Oreo Beta to Nougat step by step

Hello everyone, I leave here step by step how to return from Oreo Beta to Nougat along with a video that I made with the process step by step, greetings.
NOTE: THIS PROCESS WAS TESTED AND WORKS, IT MUST BE CLEARED THAT THIS PROCESS IS UNDER YOUR RESPONSIBILITY, IF YOU FOLLOW THE STEPS YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEM, ONLY YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICK.
COMMUNICATION GIVEN BY THE COMPI @kacarot, "ONLY YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR TELEPHONE"
Look to read by xda and in androi hilfe who are warning that this system is dangerous and that there is a step where you can produce the brick .... I have only read a case of brick (recovered with fh) but several cooks insist on warning the risks ..... From what I read the failure can be given to clean data from twrp and copy the new oeminfo ... There may fail ....
Perhaps it would be prudent to notice well that in the mentioned forums they are withdrawing the instructions ...
COPIO flashdance user post very advanced
It is not advisable for any fan to do it! The trick with dd if =
is that you have to delete the data before in the TWRP to obtain a "normal file structure". You can verify that in the installation. Only if there are no numbers / combinations of letters can you be in Advanced in the TWRP with cp .... and dd if = make and wait until you have finished exchanging the message. Only then can you turn it off and then with VOL + / VOL- and Power of the SD starts the update and waits until it finishes. Then the HWOTA arrives at Zug. Yes, that's just with this rom and the dload folder in the root directory of the SD.
TELEPHONE PREPARATION
1. Activate OEM unlocking
2. Enable USB debugging
3. Have installed the Minibus ADB Fastboot 1.4.2 link download: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5MSGGCOoMjiTFE5RHlaOWFvOVE/view?usp=drivesdk
4. Copy to the folder where the Minimal ADB FASTBOOT was installed the TWRP OREO link download: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5MSGGCOoMjial94VHVzVnNVSGc/view?usp=drivesdk
5. download the rom MHA-AL00C00, unzip it and the dload folder that we have left to save it in the root of the SD link rom card: https://mega.nz/#!lYIhhDqY!I8lrCig3x2MMTHINZOvwVmhYDX2vz9QWb6V9epA6JI4
6. Download the file MHA-AL00C00.bin and save it in the root of the SD link card oeminfo: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5MSGGCOoMjiSUdZQmJQdzNIRUU/view?usp=drivesdk
DOWNGRADE PROCESS
1. Unlock the bootloader.
2. Enter the folder where you have installed the ADB Fastboot Minimal, press the shift key + right click and choose to open the command window here.
3. While in the command window we proceed to install the OREO TWRP with the following command: fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp-oreo.img
4. Once the OREO TWRP is installed, we enter it with the button (volume up + power), the Huawei logo comes out and we release the power button.
5. Being in the TWRP we go to the option ADVANCE and in this we select the option TERMINAL where it opens a window to place the following commands which install the oeminfo saved in the SD the MHA-AL00C00.bin
cp /external_sd/MHA-AL00C00.bin /tmp/oeminfo.bin and they give the blue button of the keyboard to confirm it.
dd if = / tmp / oeminfo.bin of = / dev / block / sdd5 bs = 1048576 and they give you the blue button on the keyboard to confirm it.
After entering the two commands, we go back to the TWRP and look for the option to turn off.
7. With the phone completely turned off we proceed to install the ROM MHA-AL00C00 which is in the dload folder, press the three buttons at the same time (volume up + volume down + power) until the installation of this one.
If everything was done to the letter the phone should restart and turn on normally with the ROM MHA-AL00C00 installed, and after performing this process, you can re-perform the model and rom you want.
TIP: When doing the rebrand again for the change of ROM, perform the procedure twice selecting REBRAND so that the change of ROM can remain because once it is compiled in TEST KEYS NRD-900M, this I say as experience from someone who has already performed this procedure twice.

Thanks to the creators of this method since without them this would not have been possible.

This procedure really helped when i was stuck while upgrading to Oreo. Especially the part where u need to load TWRP for oreo and then you are able to flash the oeminfo.bin file..
Thanks a million

[GUIDE][MIUI][WAYNE]How to update MIUI10 without losing data

Hi, folks, how you doing?
Today, I'm gonna help you to update your MIUI without losing your installed apps and stuff.
First of all, you have to download the MIUI rom image here. Choose wisely, because there's just one version compatible with MI A2 and it is called MI 6X - WAYNE.
----------------------------------------------------------------
A few things before you get into this:
[!]This process worked to me and can work to you, however, I can not give any garantee of how you will understand it, so, if you follow these steps, do it at your own risk.
[!]You must have USB debugging enabled, an unlocked bootloader, a converted MI A2 to MI 6X andTWRP recovery installed.
[!]CAMERA2API: If you have had edited build.prop and renamed wayne.xml to whyred.xml, you'll have to do it again. I recommend this guide.
Requirements:
1) TWRP Wayne
2) ADB
3) MI 6X Wayne rom
4) USB Debugging, unlocked bootloader enabled in Developer options
5) Platform-tools
6) Compatible USB Cable
----------------------------------------------------------------
A few explanations:
The update process has two methods: one is known as "clean update". On clean update, all data in your phone will be wiped on the process and the update will give you a fresh clean device.
The other one process is known as "dirty update". On this process, only the OS files will be replaced, keeping all that garbage (apps, pictures, music, videos, cache, etc) we love in our phones.
Today, I'll teach you how to do a dirty update.
----------------------------------------------------------------
From here, I'll assume you already have ADB installed and working in your computer and TWRP boot image placed in ADB Folder.
1) Download MIUI rom and place it in your phone's internal memory
2) Restart your phone with Power button + Volume down until you see the Fastboot bunny
3) Connect your phone in your computer using the provided USB cable
4) In your computer (Windows), open file manager in ADB folder, hold SHIFT key and right click mouse and select "Open Command prompt here"
5) In Command Prompt, type
Code:
fastboot devices
and Enter - you shall see your devices ID
6) Type
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-[version here]-wayne.img
and Enter, your phone your will restart and load TWRP Recovery.
7) In TWRP, tap "Install", it will open file manager to you choose the desired file. Select it it and slide "swipe to confirm flash".
8) The installation process will start. Take a coffee because it may take a while.
9) In the end of the update process, tap "wipe Dalvik/Cache".
10) Tap "Restart".
Your phone will restart. The first boot is a little longer than the normal (+-3 minutes), but it is normal.

will it break magisk?

How to install a rom
You must have custom recovery installed see the above comment to install.
1. Download the rom you wish to install and put it on your external SD card
2. Reboot your device to recovery.
3. Go to wipe >> advanced wipe and wipe system, data, internal, dalvik and cache.
4. Go to install and search for your rom.zip on external SD card.
5. Flash it and thats it.
6. If you want Google apps (gapps) you will have to download a suitable gapps package for your device and new rom. If your new rom is android 9 pie then download arm gapps, android version 9 and I would recommend the lighter gapps package like nano or pico.
7. Flash gapps right after flashing your rom.
8. Optional wipe dalvik and cache just in case and thats it
