Stuck in fastboot, did I brick my phone? - Redmi 7A Questions & Answers

Hey there,
sorry, noob here.
Trying to get an old Redmi 7A up and running again:
Unlocked the bootloader
entered fastboot mode
flashed TWRP
booted successfully into TWRP
wiped data
rebooted into twrp
wiped system, data, dalvik and cache
twrp is gone, stock recovery returned
reflashed twrp
fastboot reboot recovery
back in fastboot
power off, power on
automcatically back in fastboot
I cannot access anything but fastboot now.
What am I missing, what did I do wrong?
Thank you very much!

If you're stuck into fastboot try reflashing the stock rom from the official xiaomi site here
Select the fastboot version of your rom, then use MiFlash Tools to revert back your rom using the flash_all_lock.bat file.
To make miflash to work I had to add a log folder and inside an empty [email protected] file before launching it otherwise you'll get errors.
i think your mistake was wiping before installing custom rom. Follow the instruction closely

Lost recovery, cant boot, only fastboot

Guys... when i tried to flash oos 3.0 on my op2 through twrp, i first wiped the data to install new rom, then install oos 3.0, it failed. I then flashed the recovery i downloaded from the thread, then restart the recovery
I cant boot into the recovery.
System can't boot
Is it called "brick"?
So i tried to flash stock recovery in pc by command, but it says "remote: device is locked. cannot flash images". any solution to this problem?
I can boot into fastboot mode
You need to run the phone in Qualcomm mode on a PC and run the recovery tool to fix you bootloader.
I did the same and it was a royal ball ache trying to find out how to fix it
Don't do what rosswaa said
Why not?
What you should do is boot your phone into fastboot mode, connect it to your pc. Flash this modified TWRP recovery img to your phone https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24459283995297945. After that you have to flash this modified SuperSU (through the new recovery) https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24459283995297946.
The normal recovery doesn't work in OOS 3.0 (just like in HOS) and it's the SuperSU that gives you the soft brick. A dirty flash of the modified SuperSU should fix it.
I also had your problem and I did what rosswaa said which shouldn't be necessary (I lost all my data and backups).
I didn't lose anything, but I tried doing what you said and my bootloader was screwed so wouldn't take a flashed recovery or anything (yes the modified one)
Wish I hadnt been so excited and just flashed but all sorted now
Hmm okay, if it doesn't work with flashing the new recovery img then do what rosswaa said and after that follow this post https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/installation-instructions-faqs-oxygenos-3-0-0.439108/
Obviously try what green says first, if it works then happy days
first i am really glad that someone give some advices on me. But since i am a noob, how can i flash twrp in fastboot mode? using command? "fastboot flash recovery xxx.img"? thx

Help with bricked xiaomi redmi 2 prime

Hey guys,
I have a problem with a bricked xiaomi redmi 2 prime.
After a bootloop i tried to fix the problem with a system reset. But this does not work
After i booted into recovery and wiped all data, the phone reboot but than nothing happend. So i tried to flash the rom with the mi flash tool, but there i get the error "remote: failed to write partition".
So i went over to the adb and fastboot programms, with fastboot i erased system, userdata, recovery, boot and then i flashed the images of this elements back on the phone (fastboot flash sayed that flashing went successfully)
Then the phone reboot, nothing happend and i can´t get into recovery mode, also adb doesn´t recognoze the phone anymore
Have you any idea what i can do to fix the phone, or can i put it into the trash?
Thanks for your help
Stop experimenting.
Does fastboot work? Do a full flash with miflash(erasing all storage)(firmware should be of your model itself)
If fastboot doesnt work,try putting in the charger with battery in,if there is any vibration,you have a chance of reviving your r2

Yup actually download the latest version of miui fastboot files..paste them in the fastboot folder... Dont bother erasing you phn again(as it does erase at the time of writing new files...)And most importantly flashing only 3 files is more than enough. Flash them in the order boot.img, system.img, recovery.img and thats it. If your problem is actually not booting into fastboot then....press the volume down button and insert your usb while keeping it pressed.
Hey guys,
thanks for the answers. I tryed to flash only thees 3 files but it doesn´t change anything. fastboot works without trouble so far.
I tried multiple times the xiaomi flashing tool but this only throws errors -.-'
I will try again and keep you by the actual progress ^^

If you can get the fastboot to work, you can flash recovery on your phone for good or temporarily to flash zips.
How to do it?
1.Get into fastboot on phone
2.Install minimal adb and fastboot in your computer
3.Run adb and install drivers
4.Connect your phone which should be in fastboot to computer
5.Check for devices by using "fastboot devices", if a device is listed, proceed
6.Download a custom recovery, rename the recovery img to something easy than using the full name and copy the img into the folder where minimal adb and fastboot is installed
7.Type in "fastboot flash recovery <name you gave to recovery img>.img" (img for the image format) to flash recovery permanently
OR
7.Type in "fastboot boot <recovery name>.img" to use it temporarily, this method will erase the recovery on reboot so flash whatever you want before rebooting if you're following this method.
8.Flash in your ROM zip, try stock and custom ROMs, see if you can get your phone to work
GOOD LUCK
Same error with my yureka plus (error "remote: failed to write partition"). I'm planning to buy redmi 2 prime.. . Scared if this will happen to redmi 2 prime

Boot into TWRP. Goto Advanced --> Disable DM-Verify. Reboot device. Done.
now i installed the supersu but when i reboot the phone it always boots to TWRP i think because i flashed
fastboot flash boot twrp.img (yes i am a idiot)
if i want to boot the system what should i do?

As far as I read this thread you forgot to turn off the DM-Verify option in TWRP after install and rebooted immediately.....
Hate to break it to you but your currently installed OS is now pretty much dead now. Had the same issue when I first tried it.
You need to install a clean MIUI ROM first via fastboot and MIFlash-Tool. Then proceed to install TWRP again. When TWRP is booted the first time it will ask your permission to Modify the System. Swipe to confirm that (needed for most operations TWRP is able to do).
After you allow the system modify part, you are in TWRPs main menu. Tap on "Advanced", then tap on "Disable DM-Verify". Once again swipe to confirm.
After that, you should be able to have TWRP on your device and should be able to boot normally to MIUI... or you go straight ahead and flash a new Custom Rom.
thank you.
So i will need to download a new rom (any suggestion on which one is good? i did install twrp because my vendor rom didn't work with local 3g and LTE) and install it with the miui flash tool. Than repeat the twrp installation but disable dm-verify first, (than reinstall super su?),and at the end reboot.
No need to clear anything?
i flashed the global stable rom from the xiaomi flash tool it say successful and took just a second but i am stuck still on mi logo....
Is your phone unlocked?
In fastboot fastboot oem device-info
i unlocked it just one day before with permission message from xiaomi.
Next time used cofface twrp for redmi 3S: http://en.miui.com/thread-244098-1-1.html

Ez. Go to fastboot mode, flash again the whole ROM and flash your TWRP again. Don't forget to disable DM-verify. It stuck at logo not because of you forgot to root your device, is because of you forget to disable DM-verify.

FAILED to install ROM (

Hello, I failed to install a custom ROM and now when it gets to eRecovery mode I only have the options to reboot, shutdown and download latest verison and recovery. Of course, the download option doesn't work. I tried to get it back to the stock, the adb sees the device only when it's powered off, and it says unauthorized. The only time the fastboot devices show something is when the phone is in the fastboot mode I think and on the phone it displays: PHONE Unlocked and FRP unlock
When i try to fastboot flash system.img it says that FAILED <remote: Command not allowed>.
I tried to search for answers, can anyone help me please? I am doing this for 2 days...
LATER EDIT: I flashed boot,recovery, system. And now the options i have are: reboot system now, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition. wipe data/factory reset just stops after 20%. What can I do?
Which device variant are you using? Which custom ROM did you try to install ? I think it would be better to post on the ROM's post...
Anyway fastboot should be use to flash recovery only, not a system. I'll recommand you to grab TWRP, install it via fastboot (fastboot flash recovery twrp_image_name.img . When it is installed, reboot recovery , back up product and vendor, Wipe everything and flash stock ROM.

need help about twrp

guys anyone know fastboot command to flash twrp where phone automatically boots in twrp after flashing recovery image. it is a single command not other fastboot reboot command. Due to virus attack I lost my all data in laptop and all the info about redmi 3s which I had saved, gone with it.
