Need help fixing my bricked phone

Hey Guys,
I have a redmi 3s prime and i tried to install lineage os on it, during the process i accidentaly flashed twrp over both the recovery and the boot. Now i cannot get into the recovery (and fastboot) unless i flash it over boot before rebooting my phone. After that i AM able to flash an new rom but it seems to always have wifi issues.
atm i am trying to flash the xiaomi developers global rom to see if it makes any difference. My main goal is to flash TWRP and a curstom rom (linage or resurrectionremix).
Can anyone help me?
Thanks alot!
Update #1
The flashing of the global developer rom worked and the wifi seems to work aswell, i will try to boot into fastboot and recovery.
Update #2
Its seems i am able to boot into fastboot and recovery again
Update #3
Following a tutorial for flashing TWRP and a custom rom but cant se2 anyone help me here?:
Code:
>>> Check then next step to root :
- launch minimal adb tool (previously installed)
- type : adb devices (to list phone connected) it will appear "unauthorized"
- on the phone : accept the computer
- re type : adb devices
it has changed in "authorized"
- type : adb reboot bootloader
it will go in fastboot mode (the same that power + vol down)
- type : fastboot devices
your phone will appear as in adb mode (unless the bad signed driver is choosen in win10 ; i won't repeat it again)
- type (optional) : fastboot oem device-info (to verify if bootloader is locked or unlocked)
now, we go to root
- type : fastboot boot twrp.img (if it is your renamed twrp copied in the minimal adb folder)
link for TWRP guide at the end if needed
!!! it will boot temporary in this recovery but it will keep your original recovery !!!
> allow to modify system (don't keep the "read only" if you want to root or flash recovery later)
go to settings to set date, hours, language, set custom options...
My optional advices :
- save your EFS & persist partitions or all whole partitions (except cache) to make a backup
- export this backup in computer or SD card in case of future problem
(EFS, persist are usefull to save and restore your IMEI in particular)
- you can flash directly TWRP with fastboot command : fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
>>> Root :
Now flash DM-verity patch, then superSU.zip to root and accept to wipe dalvik/cache after, finally reboot !
Device is rooted ! and you have kept the original recovery.
the reboot is quite long like rom update (because of cache rebuild)
sometimes, parts of theme are lost after rooting : just restore your theme
some devices don't need DM-verity patch as explained upper
superSU app shows "systemless root" from android 6+, it is normal, read below
>>> Change the Recovery by TWRP (optional) :
Now you are rooted, you have 2 methods :
- Install one TWRP app with googleplay and flash recovery through app on rooted device.
New official app in development (flash/backup .img & .tar)
- OR reboot in fastboot mode (with TWRP app method or power+vol- method or adb reboot recovery method)
in fastboot mode, and type commands :
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
(be sure your twrp.img is unlocked and correctly copied/renamed in minimal adb folder)
Now, long press power to turn OFF phone
power + vol+ (release power at vibration) to enter in TWRP or by TWRP app or Updater app or under Windows with minimal adb reboot recovery command
Note for devices with DM-verity : flashing TWRP needs to have patched system with DM-verity patch before because you will modify system most of time - generally, you don't need to patch again because you have ever done it in previous steps - in case of bootloop : go to fastboot mode, boot in TWRP with command and patch it.
Chainfire has recently modified superSU for android 6+ devices with DM-verity to install root without modify the system : it's called "systemless root". When you flash superSU.zip, it detects automatically android version, cleans old files and installs with appropriate method. Maybe no need to patch boot in this case with DM patch.

Switching Custom Roms no TWRP

Very new to this so explain to me like I'm 5
I installed Ubuntu Touch on a Nexus 4. The install went fine, I did not install TWRP - wasn't required hadn't really planned on experimenting more. However, now I would like to try both Lineage and Paranoid Android.
How do I proceed at this point? Do I need to re-install original ROM or can I install TWRP directly? I am assuming that to install either OS I need to have TWRP installed - is that right?
Again, if you could please keep it simple - I am still swimming in the shallow end of the pool with Custom ROMs and Android.
Thanks

You said you already installed Ubuntu Touch.
I'm presuming that you have unlocked your bootloader before doing so and that you might have used the terminal and might be running Ubuntu.
If this is correct it should be no problem for you to:
- With your device powered off, press and hold the volume down button and then the power button simultaneously until the screen turns on to enter "Fastboot mode"
- Connect your device to your PC
- Open a terminal window and type
Code:
fastboot devices
if that does return
Code:
no permissions fastboot
it can be fixed by running fastboot as root from now on, i.e.
Code:
sudo fastboot [...]
- next, enter
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
if the output contains the line
Code:
(bootloader) Device unlocked: true
you are able to flash a custom recovery.
- To flash the recovery go directly dl.twrp.me/mako, and download the latest (topmost) image.
Now, find out where the image is downloaded and open a terminal there.
Then enter this command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.1-0-mako.img
(again with sudo if necessary)
- Reboot and you should be good to go
Code:
fastboot reboot

Thanks, that worked fine. Appreciate the step by step instructions.

I'm glad it worked for you

Does it mean, that u have Ubuntu, and android?

Both ROMs are completely stable but my personal favourite is LineageOS.
Ps. You should have asked this question in one of the ROM thread.

Is not working for me, it goes to the stock recovery menu ... I download many times and tried to install in different ways including from the MicroSD and using another TWRP to install this ...

X2Pro - C.29 Stock to LOS with Magisk

Firstly, I would like to thank @karthick mostwanted for his work and a thumbs up for keeping Lineage OS updated.
I have an Indian Unit of X2 Pro with 128 Gigs of RAM and I got the ROM working with FP and the payment apps at once. Everything works good here. Only thing which I did not like is the camera, so I'm using PixelPlus GCAM on this ROM.
Coming to the steps (assuming ADB & Fastboot drivers installed) -
1. Unlock the Bootloader. For the same Install the In Depth Test app (pm if you do not get the links for the app on Google) and apply. After a successful review message on the app, use the following commands.
adb reboot bootloader (For reboot into fastboot mode)
fastboot flashing unlock
Select the confirmation dialog on the screen and its done. Then type fastboot reboot for the phone OS to boot. It will erase all your data too.
2. Next step is to install TWRP img file by Mauronofrio (Google it). Download vbmeta.img also, you will get in LOS thread downloads section. Copy the recovery file and vbmeta into the ADB folder where the powershell/cmd is running so the you can fetch it. Reboot into the fastboot mode and give the following command.
fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img
DO NOT REBOOT YET. Immediately type fastboot flash --disable-verification vbmeta vbmeta.img and enter. Don't reboot, with help of Volume and power button combination, boot directly into recovery. Remember, do not reboot phone in any other mode or even the present OS because it will wipe the recovery installed.
3. Format Data. (Don't Wipe, Use FORMAT DATA Option). Wipe Cache & Dalvik.
4. Keep the Files in a USB Storage such as Lineage OS, Magisk 20.3, Open Gapps Nano ARM 64.
5. Insert the USB drive through an OTG and go to TWRP mount option and mount external storage. It will start showing files. Now go to install and select OS. Wait, don't run now. Add Gapps to the same queue and then run.
6. After successful installation, wipe cache and dalvik and reboot your phone.
7. After you setup everything, again boot into TWRP recovery and install magisk 20.3.
You are done and all set !
Note - Do not remove/uninstall system apps using root access in LOS, it may break. Happened with me when I tried to uninstall DuckDuckGo, it went into bootloops.
Will be happy to answer any doubts for this installation. Comment below if you need further help !

Do you mean by using apps like titanium backup, systemapp remover or similar?

Did you rooted with new lineage OS 18 ?

flashing ROMs

After flashing SuperiorOS and also LineageOS Android 11 I get message "No OS installed" after reboot system after flashing and it is stuck on booting screen then and it only helps to flash official build via fastboot. What am I doing wrong? I am doing clean flash.
P.S.: I get many errors about something with vendor that failed with red letters while flashing

Dont worry here are the steps i follow every time and it works for me
- Download platform and fastboot drivers
- Download TWRP from offical website for tissot there should be one .img and other zip file latest version is 3.4.0-0 i think
- Download ROM whichever you like
- Press and hold power button with volume down until it boots to fastboot connect your phone to pc make sure you have fastboot drivers installed
- Open command prompt with administrator privileges locate to platform folder where you have fastboot.exe before doing anything type fastboot devices if it shows few numbers and fastboot than it means you are good to go
- Make sure you put TWRPxxxxx.img file in platform for easy access type fastboot boot TWRPxxxx.img or which link for ur twrp image file press enter after few seconds your phone will be booted up in twrp from there go ahead and transfer TWRPxxxx.zip to your internal or sd card and flash it when its done from twrp restart it to recovery wipe , delvik cache , data , system ---> flash rom zip than install twrpxxxx.zip again restart to recovery than go ahead and intall nikGapps 11 and ( MagiskR if you want root access ) when its done restart to system it should boot into OS without any problem it will take some time
dont worry about vendor errors i get them everytime but without any issues its normal
Hope it helps if you need anything ask away
