Phone bricked - Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers

So, I've rooted my phone using magisk a while ago and its been working since that. Today I downloaded a system app uninstaller and wanted to remove chrome (ik im retarded) and then when I rebooted it bootlooped. I could go in TWRP and I wiped data, then rebooted and now I can't get in TWRP. I tried many things, now when I boot my phone it goes in fastboot instantly and I can't do anything. When I tried to flash TWRP it said error bad Image. Anyone can help ?

Stock rooted +OTA =TWRP recovery bootloop, help?

Hey, so I rooted my D802 a while ago, and installed TWRP using autorec, and all was going well.
today I received an ota, and against my better judgment , I clicked install, so of course it booted into TWRP and not stock recovery, and it couldn't flash the update, I rebooted the phone and it still booted back in TWRP!!, formatted, system, data, dalvik, and cache, then reboot, same thing, the phone keeps going back to recovery, apparently the command to update (boot into recovery) has been issued to the bootloader, and I have no idea how to cancel it, any ideas?
does anyone know where to find the temporary downloaded file from OTA? maybe flashing it manually through TWRP will fix the issue
thanks
this page helped, I typed the code and viola ,it works, thanks guys

Problem with installing TWRP

My phone came with version 66.77.... (MIUI 6) from the reseller.
I have installed TWRP, rooted the device using adb and then flashed 5.9.24. So far so good.
After some time i decided to try AOSP ROM. I made a backup in TWRP and then flashed AOSP using TWRP. No problems so far (cleared cache, dalvik etc)
Then I wanted to revert back to 5.9.24. I cleared cache dalvik etc, and then I cannot remember anymore if i have reflashed 5.9.24 or restored the backup made previously from TWRP, the thing I wasn't able to boot into recovery anymore. The phone was stuck on the teamwin logo if booted into recovery but normal boot was working fine.
Then i reflashed twrp using adb.
After doing that, my phone was still stuck on the teamwin logo when booting into recovery, but with normal booting i was getting infinite boot loops at Mi logo screen.
After several ours of tries, i was able to solve the normal booting problem by flashing the stock recovery (so the phone is now back on the 5.9.24 - and working fine) but when I try to flash twrp using adb the same symptoms as before:
- Recovery boot - stuck on teamwin logo screen
- Normal boot - boot loops
I already tried to flash via Updater app, Flashify and Windroid nothing worked.
Can anyone help me to get this custom recovery working, please?
Thanks

Nick

i saw the request of the message but i am not using a custom recovery on my phone,i use a custom dev rom made by miui france.
i think some china dev rom comes rooted by default with custom installer updater and gapps like mine.
i think twrp is not fully compatible with this device yet.
Have you try with sp flash tool method ?

I just installed TWRP for the first time ever. I used the Flashify App from the Play Store, installed it and gave it root permissions and just selected the TWRP image on the phones internal store. Seemed to work just fine and did not have to plug my phone into a computer

Nexus 4 only boots to fastboot/download mode, otherwise stuck in bootloop. Need help.

I was running cm12.1 a while ago, and updated to cm13. It broke one of my apps that i used on a regular basis at the time, so i tried downgrading back to cm12.1. The OS rebooted into twrp, but nothing happened. I rebooted but it wouldn't let me out of twrp/fastboot/download mode.I tried wiping the data and re flashing cm12.1, nothing. same issue. I downloaded a different custom recovery (a version of clockwork mod) but i believe it was in the wrong format and when i tried to overwrite my recovery with this other one in twrp, my phone stopped booting into recovery at all, and only download mode or fastboot, besides bootlooping when plugged in and not holding any volume buttons or power. The nexus 4 itself IS unlocked and rooted, and was working fine before this happened. I don't know what to do, and i hope someone can help me.

Xiaomi Mi A1 Bricked, inifnite loop, I really don't know what's happening :( HELP

Hi, I have owned my Xiaomi Mi A1 like 5 days ago, and after a day I had it in my hands I rooted the device with Magisk 14.1 in TWRP, well, after I day I rooted the phone the update of oreo just realesed and my cellphone was avalible to install it, so I decided to unroot my phone, and there is where the ALL the problem started... Seems like when I flashed Magisk it didin't make a backup of the original boot.img so when I flashed the magisk uninstaller it didn't boot into the phone, it sent me to recovery again, so I tried installing the Magisk installer again and it let me boot.
After watching that I tried to flash the latest ROM in MiFlash but it just didn't do nothing, it flashed in 1 second and nothing happened to the phone.
Yesterday after all of that happened I tried to update the phone manually while rooted with TWRP, I found a backup of oreo of TWRP, so I restored that backup in TWRP and it booted me to oreo finally, after booting it to oreo I decided to go back to TWRP to restore my data backup of Nougat to restore all my apps and that stuff but when I booted into recovery it asked for decrypt my storage (as always), so I tried to decrypt it with the pattern I always used before and it just didn't let me, it just failed I don't know why, I booted into the system again trying to remove that stuff but it just didn't let me, the button to remove it was unavalible, it just let me remove my pattern to unlock the phone, so I removed it to see if it would work and it just make the things worse, I booted into recovery again and it didn't let me again, so I tried to boot into system AGAIN and it just didn't let me, just infinite loop, and recovery just removed, so I booted into recovery with fastboot mode and it didn't ask me for any decryption, it just let me in, but without mounting my internal storage, it just didn't, I tried to wipe the data option and after that it worked again, internal storage appeared again, after it I flashed the recovery into both slots.
Well, the last thing I did is restore the backup of oreo again that I found in XDA, but it just give me infinite loop, it's been like half of hour or more "booting", I'm so frustated and worried about this, tell me that there is a solution for this, the phone is literaly new, just five days with it... That version of magisk literally ruined my phone, lol
Ok mate, I suggest you go back to the last factory fastboot Xiaomi source. You flash this with the MiFlash tool.
The first file you need is the latest fastboot rom. This is in the tgz/tar format.
tissot_images_7.12.19_20171219.0000.00_7.1_d39fa89aaf.tgz
Extract this tgz and the subsequent tar file so that you get a directory (containing .bat files and an image folder).
Download MiFlash2017-7-20-0.zip - it must be this version.
Get your phone into fastboot mode with at least 25% battery charge.
Follow the instructions to use MiFlash here https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/rom-factory-images-t3688548
Good luck!

[Q] Failed flash, stuck...

I was running xXx 4.5, and decided to "upgrade" to 5.0.
I did the usual, wiped data/system, then flashed.
I got stuck in a bootloop, and found I had to double back and wipe /data.
I did that, got stuck at the boot animation.
If I go back to recovery, all the data is jumbled, I assume encrypted? I flashed a different twrp for 8.0 compatibility, no change.
I can't push/sideload anything (roms, recovery zips sideload fine), it fails.
So I flashed the stock recovery in fastboot, rebooted there, and tried to sideload via adb the stock 8.0 flash files.
Now it works at it for a few minutes and just comes back as "Installation Failed".
Where do I go next? All i can get to is recovery, fastboot, bootloader.
I've already factory reset/wiped everything, so don't care if I lose anything anymore.
Help?
Thanks.
It appears I found a solution, just a few posts below my own! I hate it when that happens.
Anyways ,

seems to have got the ball rolling, I was able to copy files to my phone while in twrp, which I couldn't do before, and currently have xXx installing. The first time it installed it didn't ask about encrypted/decrypted and didn't give me any warnings, this time it did.
xXx still won't boot after flashing, trying stock full flash file..
edit 2: Was able to flash full oneplus update file and boot. had to do a factory reset after rebooting as it was crashing a ton and wouldn't get through setup. It's been running fine since though. Now I'm a little skittish to try again, there are some root features I'd really like to still have.
I have a OnePlus 5 phone stuck in the Fastboot mode, been contacting them for days now but I still keep hearing the same excuses that the matter has been escalated to their tier 2 tech support team Nd would be contacted. Please is there a way to copy files off the phone in this state before it's flashed?
