Need help, bricked my 3s

Was supposed to flash CM13 Rom. I did a full wipe including system via TWRP.
Before flashing I decided to reboot into recovery, but it didn't. Only gets stuck in the MI logo now. Can't boot into recovery anymore.
I can go into Fastboot mode. Tried flashing twrp via ADB but whenever i type 'adb devices' in command prompt it says device is offline.
Tried to enter EDL via ADB in fastboot mode, it gets stuck at 'waiting for device'.
When plugged in PC, it gets detected as USB ADB interface
Bootloader was unlocked prior, was on xioami.eu ROM before this. I have TWRP system backup of last ROM installed.
Hoping someone can point me in the right direction on what to do next. Very much appreciated, thank you.

Hi Supdow,
I was facing with the same issue and I also thought I bricked my phone... No worries. To solve it is very easy, just unlock your bootloader again with Mi UnlockTool. Than you have access to your recovery again.
Good luck!

Do I have to apply to unlock the bootloader again like the first time?

Was able to unlock bootloader again, but I still can't access recovery. I may have forgotten how to exactly do this since the last time I did it. What do i have to do after unlocking bootloader? I tried flashing TWRP via fastboot but it only gives me an error.

So you have a few options
1. Hold volume+ & - and power (if you have twrp)
2. Take fedosis twrp 3.1 and installer, put twrp 3.1 into extracted installer folder, then shift+right click on installer folder, open cmd, then type
fastboot flash recovery twrp_name.img
fastboot boot twrp_name.img (or do step 1)
3. Just flash dev/stable with miflash (recommendation: go into fastboot, then like step 2 go into cmd and type fastboot oem edl then flash mi rom)
Hope this helps

Ascend XT H1611 – Bricked

Hello,
Can anyone assist me in fixing my issue? My phone couldn't boot to recovery mode, i see the TWRP bluescreen and it immediately enters the boot loop. I can boot to fastboot&rescue mode but adb is not detecting my devices. I tried reinstalling the driver and also restart the adb server, but no luck. Tried different USB ports \cable\laptop, but no luck.
Need some assistance or direction to address this issue.
Regards

adb does not work in the bootloader (Fastboot mode)
in bootloader use
fastboot boot twrp.img
just be sure twrp has the correct name and is in the same folder as adb / fastboot

@sri1225,
Adding to clsA post:
If the phone is in fastboot mode, "fastboot devices" should work to confirm PC connection is good and produces a similar response as "adb devices" does when in adb mode.
What led up to the phone getting broken? You said it's bricked - so it won't boot up to normal operating mode?

I tried to flash with the B180+Stock+Rom, after that I cannot go back to TWRP or in recovery mode.
When I do the "fastboot boot twrp.img", in the fastboot&rescue mode, the phone reboots to twrp screen and goes back to the boot loop again. I have tried both the twrp images available in the forum for this device.

The B180 stock rom replaces TWRP with stock recovery
If you want TWRP again flash it from the bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
when you enter TWRP
goto Wipe/Format Data/ and type yes
now you can root the phone or leave it as is

Fwiw, the 'boot' command only boots twrp, it doesn't flash it. Thats useful for testing that twrp works. The proper command to flash is immediately above this post. Take it from me - always test first. If it boots, it works.

Try the command 'fastboot devices', what does it output..? Are you sure you are in fastboot mode, with the screen and the Android with its chest popped open..?

Phone bricked

I was a running my Redmi note 7 with DerpFest rom and with Ofox custom recovery
The phone suddenly got into a bootloop and now I can only access the fastboot screen (not even the Custom recovery screen)
How can I proceed to reinstall the sistem and the Custom Recovery?
I've already downloaded Minimal ADB and fastboot ulitily to make things faster
Edit: Also, I couldn't get the MiFlash program working, some errors are happening

Just copy the ZIP file of the ROM and flash, as you dos when you first installed. Maybe just wipe caches

Try to reflash the recovery with fastboot first. Need to have xiaomi usb drivers installed to can use adb/fastboot connection. When the phone is in fastboot mode connect with a good (original) USB cable and check the connection with "fastboot devices" command in cmd/powershell window. Extract and use "recovery.img" from latest orangefox zip file. Flash to phone using "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" command then reboot holding together "Volume Up + Power" until you see the MI logo, release "Power" button but keep pressing "Volume Up" until you see the recovery. When you have working orangefox recovery, try to flash new rom. More information about driver/fastboot/recovery here (skip "unlock the bootloader" part): https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-7/how-to/one-redmi-note-7-unlock-bootloader-t3890751
The MiFlash program issue can be caused by missing/wrong xiaomi usb driver, if you will have answer from "fastboot devices" command (phone detected), can try the MiFlash again, just be careful: DON'T LOCK the BOOTLOADER. Good luck.

Semi-bricked??

Weird: I was just using it normally, it switched off and now it stays stuck on the Google logo; when entering recovery mode, I get TWRP"s splash screen and it stays there, so I cannot even recover.
Suggestions please??
Note 1: I'm pretty bad with this kind of stuff, need step-by-step instructions.
Note 2: rom is AOSP 7.1.2 but I guess is irrelevant, as even TWRP does not load.
Thanks in advance!!

Can you fastboot boot the TWRP recovery?

Hmmm dont know exactly what that means sorry; I mean I havent tried connecting it to the laptop and using thr ADB toolkit, but I can reset via Power+VolDown to the bootloader menu (? the android layind down and giving the option to StartSystem/ SwitchOff/ Restart/ RecoveryMode), and choosing RecoveyMode it tries to launch TWRP (it even shows the logo) but stays there on the splashscreen, doesn't quite manage to give me the TWRP menus

Someone?

let's see... I set in recovery mode, connect to the PC (does not recognise it), and with "fastboot boot twrp.img" it just sends/writes the file, the tab shows the Google logo with open lock, and then tries to launch Twrp, but as before, it just get stuck in the splashscreen "TeamWin Recovery Project 3.3.1.0" , so just the same.
Command "fastboot flash boot twrp.img" the same
Command "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" the same
Command "adb devices" returns the list empty
Command "adb reboot recovery" returns "error: no devices / emulators found"
Command "fastboot oem unlock" returns "(bootloader) bootloader is already unlocked"
I tried running a tool called FirstAid (https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=16684) but does nothing for me
I'm lost, please help

Video and photos of the issue (device, not adb)
video: https://photos.app.goo.gl/GrFrmQhbyQeHVFZN7

Well, looking at your video it seems that there is no bootable ROM installed and also the recovery (for what ever reason) has some issues to start.
The fact, that you are able to boot into bootloader shows that at least it's not completely bricked ... but there's still the chance that the flash memory has some issues.
I would connect the device via usb with a PC and try to do a
fastboot boot <twrp-3.3.1-grouper.img>
to whether in that case the recovery is booting.
If this is successful, the next step would be re-flashing the recovery into the recovery partition and booing into recovery mode from the bootloader.
If this is successful, too, wiping and flashing a new ROM would be the last step.

I lost TWRP and deleted OS on my K20 pro and now when I boot it just enters into Fastboot Mode. Is there any way at all to fix it?

Hello, I really need someone to help me out.
I wanted to flash Pixel Experience on my Redmi K20 Pro so I unlocked the Bootloader and flashed TWRP using ADB tools.
Later I cleared the internal storage by mistake using TWRP without knowing that it would clear my OS too.
But once I cleared my internal storage, even TWRP was missing.
Now I don't have an OS and TWRP.
Every time I reboot, I enter into Fastboot mode. When I use the command "fastboot devices" it lists my device.
And when I flash TWRP, it gives me a Positive response but when I use Power + Vol Up, it just restarts and enters Fastboot mode.
I really want this to be fixed. If there's any way please help me out guys.

Download your device fastboot rom and install with mi flash tool

Download TWRP from here: https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomimi9t.html
Then use the following commands:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot twrp.img
Now TWRP should be flashed and you can try to flash PE again.
