RedMi 3s no System installed

Hi, the story is:
I got the phone with unlocked bootloader. I try to install TWRP. After it was installed I wiped data/cache/dalvik/internalstorage/system:crying:. After this I tried to install the latest global ROM but after a few secs the display turns black. Now I can only boot in the Fastboot (the phone gets recognized from MiFlash). I try to install ROMs with MiFlash but everytime I got errors. I'd try different versions of MiFlash.
Does anyone knows an solution or is this device now not repairable? :crying:
Please help me, Thanks!

The problem is solved. Thread can be closed

So I'm curious, how did you solved it??

The bootloader was for whatever reason not longer unlocked. I unlocked the phone again and flash the latest global ROM via MiFlash and it works

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 !!!

My Redmi 2 stuck at mi logo after rooting by super su app.

please help me friends.....
i have redmi 2 and its model no. is 2014818.i rooted my phone by zip file throug updater app.after installation super su app installed automatically.then i opened super su app and it prompts to select continue with normal recovery or twrp/cwm custom recovery.by mistake selected second option which is twrp/cwm custom recovery.then clicked continue.after that my phone booted and that after stucked at mi logo.
my phone is not going to recovery mode.it is stucked at mi logo.
But it is going into fastboot mode properly.also i flashed latest rom by fastboot method and it shows success result in mi flash tool.but after booting it agian stucked at mi logo.i also tried to flash by command prompt by using adb and fastboot tools.all commands i give gets executed properly but the problem is not solved
i went to Mi service center.he told me that "i will do some software update.after some time he came up and said that the phone is taking much time and stucked at mi logo.
then he assumed and told me that ,there is an issue in motherboard i.e. the motherboard is currputed.
but in my perspective i dont think so, because all the fastboot cammands and functions are woring properly.
please help me in this situation and suggest me that whether it is software issue or hardware, and also about the chances of resuming to life of my phone.

you should try to flash the firmware again but don't forget to select clean_all while flashing from mi flash tool. if your phone doesn't revives then maybe it's hardware issue.
and yes also try to install custom recovery and custom os after flashing firmware maybe your phone gets a new life.

U can't flash stock ROM by fastboot r8?

i tried to flash TWRP and CWM recovery By Adb and fatboot method using commands (command prompt method) amd on giving commands all executed properly but not resulted.
From now phone is not going into fastboot mode also and not booting on pressing power button.
On connecting to pc the notification message appears and says "unrecognizable device and device may be malfunctioned".sometimes it is detected as Qualcomm Device on connecting.

In that case your device is hard bricked. You need professional help.
But check if your device is listed or not in device manager if it shows an exclamation mark try to update the drivers and though your device doesn't boots into fast boot mi-flash would probably detect your phone and than flash hope it would recover your device up-to certain extent.

I only understand your problem why because I too same thing as you did.

Simply flash twrp recovery n your phone through adb drivers or contact me. I can't give you video tutorial because I don't want you make that mistake again. my mail id: [email protected]

Alrighty I think praveen66542 is not wrong.
I have actually a redmi 2 and I had exactly the same problem a year ago; I've tried all the methods but it didn't work
So i've do is :
I installed Android SDK + ADB Drivers
I Turned my phone into fastboot mode
And I wiped all data from ADB But if you don't want to loose your data you can always do a backup from ADB and then wipe device's data
I think that's the one and only working solution.

Please help! ZTE Axon 7 won't boot after deleting Lineage and TRWP

Hi,
don't know if this problem has already occurred before.
I had lineage and TRWP installed on my Axon 7 (EU version) and wanted to go back to the stock a2017g.
Therefore I deleted the ROM and wiped everything with TWRP.
Then I deleted TWRP and now i'm stuck at the the bootloader (which is unlocked), but TWRP seems to be gone.
The main problem is, whenever I try to flash a new stock rom (via recovery), I get the error "signature verification failed" and the process is aborted with no change to the system whatsoever.
Is there anything I can do at this point or is my phone practically dead?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Try to boot into bootloader interface, and issue command "fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img" on your computer( the current working directory should contain the TWRP.img file) . If your bootloader is unlocked, you should see no error of this command. Then press up/down button to select recovery mode. You should see the familiar TWRP again. Good luck!

Did you try flashing an official full zip, like B10? That's another thing you can try, since you're going to lose TWRP after you flash a stock rom anyways

If you dont have recovery, flash it from edl mode, you can flash twrp or stock.
Once you install it, performa a full wipe from stock recovery, and flash a full zip.
I have similar problems, I dont loose recovery, but stock dont boot after coming back from aosp, a factory reset did the job. I think is because different filesystems in data partition

Hi, the B10 ROM from the ZTE homepage did the trick.
Worked out nicely.
Thank you so much.
One final question remains for myself: How can I relock the bootloader (so that the 5 second screen won't show up at the start).
Tried different ways with adb and fastload, but nothing seemed to have an effect here.
So what to do?
Thank you again for your help.

you shouldn't. Fastboot should do the trick, by doing fastboot oem lock, but many people reported bricking and bad stuff...
Actually that screen comes very handy in case of a brick or if you want to enter a specific mode.l, you just select the mode and voila
Do you have fastboot? I don't know if B10 still has it, but 7.0 hasn't got it

Hi,
I tried adb and fastboot via pc and with the axon toolkit.
The adb worked fine, but no sign of effect by the fastboot commands.
So I guess I don't have it.
Is there any other solution to at least bypass the 5 second screen?
Thanks

Lol fastboot is not something like EDL, it looks similar to the 5 sec screen...
When you get the 5 sec screen, use the vol keys and pwr to get to the Fastboot option and enter - it should reboot and get to fastboot after some time
You should look up what fastboot, EDL, ADB and DFU are before doing all this stuff - you can mess up badly, and by not knowing you're complicating everything - my explanation and your understanding

HELP! I Flashed a corrupted ROM and now I can not unbrick my phone

A few days ago I bought a Xiaomi Redmi Note 7, I unlocked its bootloader successfully and installed OrangeFox Recovery Project. After that, I installed xiaomi.eu ROM EMUI 12 - Android 10, the latest version of the weekly ROMs for this phone. Since it was a beta ROM, I found some bugs, so I downloaded the stable rom with EMUI 11, but I didn't notice that the zip was corrupted so OrangeFox return an error and I made the mistake of restarting the phone. It was stuck in boot logo and when I enter into fastboot mode, the PC doesn't recognize it. Also, the phone can not enter into recovery mode, it stucks in boot logo.
I have the drivers installed because I tested with another xiaomi en fastboot mode and this one is recognized.
I don't know what to do
Sorry for my english, but I am desperate to fix it. I would really appreciate if someone could help me, please.

it's ok , try format data from orangefox and flash a different zip/rom

Can you enter into fastboot with poder off bottom + volume down ?
If you can then flash a fastboot ROM with mi flash
Check out not relock bootloader
Check "flash all" option https://update.miui.com/updates/v1/fullromdownload.php?d=lavender_global&b=F&r=global&n=

its easy
just unlock bootloader again with miflash unlock then flash any rom you like

youtu.be/7KyYp_lTR0k
i hope can help you

If your phone can still boot up. Just try to fastboot mode power+vol down. Install latest usb driver for PC. Then try one by one usb port you have on your PC. Because I experienced some usb port doesn't work. And if connected try to reinstall TWRP again.

Uses the previous version of twrp, try connecting the phone to another computer. Use xiaomi usb cable.

If you can put your phone in fastboot mode it's easy, 1) download stock rom. 2 ) unzip the file 3) open it ,and copy all files 3) open the file with ( xiaomi drivers ADB ) than : paste. From the files of the ROM you'll see
" flash all " connect your phone in fastboot mode double click "flash all " and flashing process will start immediately, don't remove your phone until it stops, done.
