Mix 2 bricked?! Flashing went wrong. Need help please. - Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers

Hey guys,
so this my problem:
I got the Mix 2 with the Chinese ROM. With the XiaoMiTool by Francesco Tescari I updated to the Global ROM V9.1.2.0 because I didn't want to wait to unlock the bootloader. This worked but I only had the choice to set China as my region. Since this was a common problem with updating the ROM without unlocking the phone I unlocked it and waited for 3 days to unlock.
Today I installed TWRP and installed the ROM xiaomi.eu_multi_MIMix2_7.11.16_v9-7.1. After this I was stuck with the Mi bootup logo. In TWRP I deleted cache, system, data. This worked EXCEPT for system. I thought updating TWRP to the newest version would help solve this issue. But since I'm new to this I didn't update it within TWRP but just installed the newer version via the commandfastboot flash recovery twrp.img. The result is that I can not get in recovery mode anymore. The only option is fastboot mode or the regular Mi logo endless boot.
What I tried so far: EDL flash method via adb/MiFlash but both don't work. The XiaoMiTool won't work too. The Mi PC Suite won't recognise the phone. When I use the edl.cmd the phone will go black for 2-3s and then return to fastboot.
I guess the problem at this point is that usb debugging is not turned on since TWRP installed the EU ROM and I could never get in it to enable the debug mode.
I couldn't find a solution to solve the boot up problem and can't seem to install/flash a new ROM at this point.
So what can I do? Do I need that special usb cable? Will the EDL points help me?
Maybe/Hopefully you can help me out.
EDIT:
When I turn on the phone it will directly go into fastboot mode. A normal start is not possible anymore?!...
EDIT 2:
I am now running the latest Global Rom this guide did it for me: en.miui. com/thread-1351514-1-1. html

Good to hear you got it up and running.

I've used MiFlash Tool, and the problem was fixed. Sahara Error occurs when you take to much time to flash after booting to EDL, you only have few seconds to flash util the port is closed for writing. QFIL takes around 20 to 25 seconds in caching the files so use MiFlash and It'll flash. Best way to do it is:
1. Install and setup MiFlash for flashing.
2. Open MiFlash and select your Firmware's folder.
3. As soon as you connect the phone refresh miflash and hit flash.
If everything goes well you'll flash will be successful else try again.
I tried doing as fast as a could too on mi flash and it would come up as trying to connect to com4 port something in the status and would eventually come back to same error in the picture.

I face this problem in windows 10.
first uninstall zuk drivers and qfill and disable driver signature enforcement (Google it how to do it) then install zuk drivers and qfill use original cable and your phone will get flashed

Follow the instruction from this post
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-zuk-z2/how-to/zuk-z2-baseband-flashing-guide-t3715121
Do not listen to anyone telling you to use miflash, only use qfil otherwise you WILL encounter other issues because qfil is the only way to reach the deeper partitions that mi is unable to... Other issues may range from no volte, calling or signal problems etc its just easier to do it right the first time.

Moto Z2 Force Sprint bricked *Please help*

Hi all! I ask your help! I have Moto z2 Force on 8.0 Oreo and I installed custom recovery twrp-3.2.1-1-nash.img and foolishly chose Slot-B and then I reboot the phone. Now when connected to a computer, it is defined as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 . How can I bring it back to life?! Help please! :crying:
After many attempts, it was possible to flash blankflash_from_NDX26.183-15_17. Phone reboot in fastboot and then full flash stock firmware.

This happened to me on t-mobile yesterday and I managed to solve it by downloading this: (T-Mobile only) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fM5KLheeMYcs3yF7InOzHq6yGCOmrrbk/view
Extract the zip and while your phone is connected to your pc and booted in bootloader mode, run flash_all.bat, boot (don't flash) TWRP, install TWRP with the TWRP zip found here: https://dl.twrp.me/nash/twrp-installer-nash-3.2.1-1.zip.html
Then reboot to your newly installed TWRP recovery, factory reset, flash rom, reboot bootloader and run "fastboot -w".
After that you should boot up fine. Fastboot -w might not be necessary but I had to do it, otherwise I would boot but I would get an error message "android.process.media has stopped" without it.
Hello Friend!
Do you know if there is a solution for Moto Z2 Play? The update for Android 8 came automatically and I accepted. After a few days, he caught up and got into HardBrick! Neither the BootLoader options (power + volume (-)) are working !!
When I put it in the charger it will flash a white LED
Sorry, I'm using Google Translate

You can try to use XiaomiTool and flash your phone with instead.
https://www.xiaomitool.com/V2/
Also, have you tried fastboot boot recovery.img
To see if you can boot TWRP or something?
(fastboot boot might work better than flashing)
I don't have any experience with Miflash, so can't offer any advice on that.
Personally I would try fastboot boot first, since XiaomiTool is in alfa-version.

Sorry for my late reply, I had forgotten to answer this earlier, did you try to perform a regular flash (not bricked option) from XiaomiTool. if that doesn't work either, maybe you should ask the developer of XiaomiTool2 for hints.

if you're still there, i resolve this issue.
you need to jump charge your battery using external charger ( external charger jumped wire direct on your battery). maybe for 30mins.
then try again to charge your phone, if it reapond and have display 0% battery, let it charge for atleast 50% then power ON.
If it stucks on logo.. do reflash.

pls help me with bootloader loop

i am using lenova vibe k5 the is turning on but it keep stuck in boot-loader page but we can access to the recovery mode and i fallowed the steps by flashing the rom from levovo smart asist by still the same issues i am facing pls help me to fix this issues
i have not installed twrp in my phone and i have tried installing the twrp by pressing the volume + and - and connected to pc for entering the download mode but the pc did not detected the device and i also have installed the usb drivers...
pls suggest me a way to get my recovered
Hey Bharath1705,
Have you tried fatory resetting? Or maybe reinstalling the stock rom? Usually reinstalling stock rom fixes bootloader because it reinstalls it. To install twrp you don't need download mode (also called EDL Mode, used mainly for unbricking the device when bootloader does not work), only fastboot. Follow the installation steps from here: https://twrp.me/lenovo/lenovoA6020.html to install TWRP. I advise to not use Download Mode, it is almost never required to install anything on the phone

(Solved) Fastboot Devices Shows as Question Mark (?????? Fastboot)

Hello everyone,
So I was just finished flashing MIUI 12 official recovery rom when I found out that I have an issue where the Region is set to China. When I'm about to flash the Region Fix Patch, I encounter another problem where the custom recovery i used to have was replaced by Xiaomi stock recovery.
The biggest problem occurred when I'm about to flash custom recovery. As I typed in Fastboot Devices command, my device ID shows up as bunch of question mark (?????? Fastboot) and I can't flash or boot my device into custom recovery
I have tried toggling USB Debugging on and off, revoking USB Debugging, reinstalling USB driver on my PC, as well as switching the cable I used but none of them seems to fix the problem.
Does anyone ever encounter the same problem as mine? How can you work around this problem and able to flash recovery again? Thank you
I was coming from Lineage OS 18.1 before flashing MIUI 12. Please help me get
SOLVED. I switched to a different PC and it worked flawlessly
Bro same problem I m facing now ....... I m unable to lock bootloader .....during fastboot I face same isuue(????????)..... Bro do uh get the solution of this problem please reply
