Problem with TWRP

Hi,
Ido have redmi 3S 2/16 gb and have the following problem.
Flash in Fastboot "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" finishes sucessful
Reboot " fastboot boot twrp.img" finishes sucessful
but phone takes about 30 sec. to reboot and boots into normal system operation
I have tried several times, no success.
I can flash the phone with Miflash, everything fine. at the moment there is MIUI Global V8.1.1.0 stable on it.
Updater App also does not work correct, whenever i select a .zip to update it requires internet connection to download, but ROM is on SD card.
Any hints from the community ?

You MUST unlock the bootloader if you want TWRP flash stick and be usable.

Bootloader is unlocked, otherwise i would not have posted in Forum but forgot to mention in my first post.
But i found a very interesting way to boot into TWRP.
1. i temporarely booted into cyanogen cwm
2. restarted into recovery in cwm
3. to my surprise it booted into my previous installed TWRP
4. i could install MIUI v8 .eu rom without problems
booted into system the phone is running nice, but i cannot boot into recovery by Keys Power+ Vol+ nor via updater app.
In always boots into running system.

unique case, i'm following this...
i wish i can help but i'm not that expert
hopefuly someone with enough experience can help or at least give some information.
thanks for sharing

I have exactly the same problem with my redmi 3S 2/16 gb. I can't start twrp in any way....i will try to do your way.

Try flasher toolkit: http://en.miui.com/thread-328569-1-1.html or material twrp: http://en.miui.com/thread-346365-1-1.html

I was having similar problems. Flashed twrp from fastboot but always got stock recovery. I used the flasher toolkit. PROFIT!

I tried everything but always stock recovery is back...
Annoying..

Hello ALL
In order to be sure to follow the same track is it possible for you to post your bootloader status as attached.
I have concern about the called "device critical unlock"
Thanks

exactly the same parameters on my redmi3s...i have to try the method from fmcheetah.

Thanks for your info.
Flasher toolkit executes all the commands wich i tried already in batch file format, no luck !

Same situation here...i've tried all this bat before, not even one works. Have somebody tried TWRP by cofface ?

I didn't...No nerves anymore

i believe you...this goes really on the nerves. What is very strange is that only a few of us have this problem. I have no clue why, but it seems to me that only happens to the people with redmi 3s (2 gb/16 gb) bought recently. I am trying to figure out if this has something to do how we do the flash with Miflash (maybe which version ?), but it doesn't look at the first sight any different from what others do.

Sorry but my Redmi3S is only 10 days old 'from buying date' and TWRP-installer.bat did the job at first trial. But I discovered that the data partition came encrypted and I was forced to format all. Then I installed the new rom from OTG because I didn't have SD card available.

Just for info:
The same behaviour i had before i flashed with Miflash with the Global Stable ROM.
I cannot try anything further because i prepared the Phone for a friend of mine. FW is MIUI V8 6.11.10 beta xiaomi eu. , he is happy so far.
By the way on a Redmi 3s 2/16 from 2 months ago i had none of this at all !!!

TWRP 3.2.0-0 for X720 (ZL1) not working

Hi,
has anyone also problems with the new TWRP version for X720 ZL1. I've downloaded it from https://dl.twrp.me/zl1 and installed it with fast boot:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot
I can reboot to recovery but then the screen keeps black. Then I have to long press the power button to force a reboot. I could flash again TWRP 3.1.1 and now reovery is working again. I hoped to prepare my system for the upcoming OREO builds.
Kind regards
Florian

[GUIDE][MI A2 / MI 6X] How to unbrick from ARB (EDL state)

Salve! As you may know, Xiaomi enabled ARB (Anti-Roll Back) for Mi 6X starting with MIUI 10. It means that if you try to downgrade from MIUI 10 to MIUI 9, your device will enter in a brick EDL state and the only way to recover it is to send it to Xiaomi or flash it using MiFlash and an Authorized Account.
Yes, I am stupid and it happened to me.
Now, as I read here on XDA, there are some people who managed to brick their device by triggering the ARB when they converted the Mi A2 to Mi 6X to test MIUI. So if you flashed MIUI 10 and didn't deleted firmware-update from the .zip file, you triggered the ARB. If you tried to flash MIUI 9 or stock Mi A2 ROM, you managed to brick your device and it stays in an EDL state (Qualcomm 9008). You SIMPLY CANNOT rollback to Android One yet but you can revive your device very easy without test point or Mi Authorized Account.
Steps are simple. You just need to restore the device to the latest available MIUI 10 with a modified version of MiFlash by using wayne (Mi 6X) ROM with patched files in order to bypass the Unauthorized Account thing.
Keep in mind that your device will be MI 6X forever! Forget about Android One! If you want to revert back to stock Android, flash AEX or Pixel Experience.
1. Download MiFlashTool and Patched Programmer files: CLICK
2. Download latest Mi 6X MIUI Developer ROM: CLICK
3. Unzip all the files on your Desktop
4. Copy the Patched Programmer files to images folder of ROM
5. Start MiFlashTool, select the folder with your ROM (do NOT select images folder), on the bottom-right select flash_all
6. Plug the phone on your computer, hit refresh and flash fast!
7. Your phone will start flashing. When "success" appears, unplug your device, press the power button for about 15 seconds and boom, it's alive again!
8. If you want root or to flash another ROM, download the TWRP image from the folder above and type:
fastboot boot «drop here the TWRP image»
Once booted, copy the TWRP image to internal memory
In TWRP, go to Install -> Install Image -> Select TWRP image -> Recovery
Reboot -> Recovery
Since this device is no longer a Mi A2, we have now a standalone recovery partition. With ARB triggered, you can flash any ROM from TWRP (MIUI 10, Pixel Experience, AEX, Treble etc.). If you flash again MIUI 9, you will brick again your device.

What kind of insane person on earth flashes MIUI 10 onto a Mi A2?

People that like the Look and Feel of MIUI. I would have bought the 6X but I need the bands supported by A2 only. I dont care about the Android One program, I will just stick with a "converted 6X" and use their Roms.
@djmitza222 Thank you for this Guide, will be useful for many users out there.

Great bro ?

wtf? :c

maybe you can help me so i have an A2, i started flashing the MIUI9 first but there was an error message: ACK count mismatch. Since then the phone is a brick. I can boot it but stuck on the MI logo, also i can boot to fastboot but neither way does the phone recognized by my and other computers. When the phone is turned of and i press the power button only once the led is blinking but if I plug it in to the computer it starts to boot and stuck at the MI logo. Is there any way to recover or should i return it to a service center? Sorry if it's an offtopic question but you are my only hope.

Boot the phone in EDL mode from fastboot (fastboot oem edl) and flash Mi A2 stock ROM. It should work.

after that and the cell phone resurrects, can this tutorial work?
https://en.miui.com/thread-3439864-1-1.html

No, it will brick again. Only if somebody makes a TWRP flash version for stock ROM.

Vendor related error 7 or System related error 7? Do NOT flash Mi A2 ROM again or you will brick your device.

Restore to the latest stock MIUI 10 for Mi 6X, install TWRP and try again. It should work.

Take a deep breath. Boot with twrp (do not flash), try to make a copy of your data via twrp (you qill have to access to the file manager to copy your personal data ). Then flash to the latest rom via MIFLASH and then restore your apps and data. It's not possible (for now) to have twrp on a mi a1 phone, you will have to boot it via adb everytime you want to use it.
