bootloop after updated firmware - Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers

Hi all, I updated to the latest firmware to install Lineage 15.1. But after installing it I wanted to go back to MIUI so I restored a previous made backup with TRP. It is stuck in a loop it never gets out. I can install Lineage 15.i again so m phone isn't bricked, but i just want to go back to MIUI which I can't. Even a fresh installed MIUI rom will not load anymore, and so wont my backup as I mentioned. What is the case here. There must be something I am missing.

Save that backup on you HDD and try with older TWRP e.g. 3.2.1.0, since I don't know if flashing diff TWRP will damage that backup.

Maybe MIUI wont flash using latest TWRP 3.2.1.1
P.S. Fastbook method always works but you lose twrp and get stuck with clean MIUI, so whole process with custom bootloaders needs to be done from the start.

With my Redmi 3 I had the same problem. Putting it into Fastboot mode and running the MI Unlock again made it boot like normal again. Literally with the new firmware and no issues whatsoever afterwards.

thanks all. ill try!

Flash ROM - i'm going crazy here!

Hi,
i have a Helium 128G and got some problems with the radio. Currently i was on 8.1.5 following the guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max/how-to/guide-install-global-miui8-root-t3435594
and i also officially unlocked the bootloader after this.
So i thought - to flash a new radio - it would be fine to just flash the 8.1.9 over the updater method. Unfortunately the phone rebooted in TWRP and flashed something. After this the reboot took >10 Minutes so i rebooted into TWRP and found the internal storage is encrypted now. So all data lost. Great!
Nevertheless i tried to flash 8.1.9 via Mi Flash. This worked and the phone booted but after i flashed TWRP it won't boot anymore. What is this? Is it even possible to run 8.1.9 rooted with twrp?
Thanks for your suggestions, i'm really pissed at the moment
EDIT: My TWRP Backup with 8.1.5 worked and now i have the radio from 8.1.9 and the rom 8.1.5. Nevertheless i would like to have 8.1.9 rooted with twrp
Hi! I've also experience your problem, did your phone entered recovery mode after flashing TWRP? if not try flashing the 8.1.2 ROM through EDL (power+vol up+vol down) then after letting the first boot finish flash TWRP. Hope this help
I'm not sure but at one point i saw the xiaomi recovery picture!? Now it works with my 8.1.5 backup again but is it really that heavy to just install a current version when on twrp and root!? i'm officially unlocked for that.

LineageOS-based roms won't boot - Firmware 4.1.0

I'm having issues with LineageOS based roms. Basically, ever since 4.1.0 was released, I haven't been able to boot anything other than OxygenOS.
The first time I flashed the 4.1.0 firmware, my OnePlus 3 bricked. I then used the unbrick tool to fix it. I then tried again, by flashing the 4.1.0 firmware, then flashing the latest LineageOS "lineage-14.1-20170316-nightly-oneplus3-signed.zip". Upon reboot, the phone stays stuck at the lineageos boot animation. I can't get any logcats (adb logcat doesn't seem to work).
Things I've tried so far:
- Using TWRP 3.0.4-1
- Using TWRP 3.1.0-0
- Dirty flash
- Clean flash
- Data as both f2fs and ext4, neither works
- Tried using TWRP's "Fix Contents"
- Tried using TWRP's filesystem repair, no problems with the filesystem
I'm at a loss, no idea what to do. I really want to get back to LineageOS, but ever since that original brick, the phone hasn't been able to boot anything other than the stock ROM.
do you try download again that rom?
i had some problems with AICP, flashing last firmware+modem was solved
you can try using other base, like 4.02, or freedomOS OB12
just ideas, I don't know what's the problem :/
bro i flashed the 316 build on oos 4.1 firmware and modem no issue here all works fine still using it with blue spark kernal you must have done something wrong

I don't think I screwed up anything. I had flashed multiple roms before. (LineageOS, ResurrectionRemix, AICP, FreedomOS...)
All of them worked, up until recently. When the 4.1.0 update came out, LineageOS Roms stopped booting. OxygenOS ROMS still work fine though. Flashing the OB12 firmware doesn't help.
This is the first time this has happened, I have no idea why its happening.
Do you flash SuperSU, without SuperSU mine boots fine. Without i m stuck in boot
Tried flashing SuperSU, but nothing has changed. Android still won't boot up if it is a LineageOS based ROM
go to stock recovery (oxygen os stock one)
then flash 4.1.0 with that recovery
then boot
now replace the recovery with twrp 3.1.0
once done dont boot the rom n go to recovery and flash su
now boot rom
now again go to twrp n wipe system, data, cache, dalvik
and then flash lineage lastest build.. it will work
if not lemme know i will help you further

Just did it. It didn't work, the phone gets stuck in the LineageOS Boot screen
Now, not even Android 6.0 ROMS will boot. I think some partitions are corrupted, but I'm unable to wipe them in fastboot mode.
Edit: So, finally, after 3 days, I was able to get in contact with OnePlus. OnePlus fixed the problem with the Qualcomm Tools, not entirely sure what they did, but it fixed the problem. I'm finally able to boot LineageOS!!!!

how much time do you wait because first boot does take 5 or more minutes

OnePlus said that the persist partition had been corrupted. So they re-flashed it and the phone started booting custom ROMS again. I guess the ROMS weren't booting because they got stuck waiting on the sensors. (To be completely honest, I never noticed that the sensors were broken. Since the only one I frequently use is the Gyroscope and that one was working fine)

Rooting problem Mi Mix 2 (new to this forum and Android pls be patient with me)

I wiped everything several times but it didn't help also converting the Data or other folders to FAT or etc didn't help either so can someone recommend me something..
Use Magisk 16.0 for rooting ( you can flash it via twrp)
you don't have to reformat anything. I would restore the phone first to a known state (by restoring the default miui or whatever rom you want to use), then install magisk

I tried with 9.5 miui global latest version and flashed magisk 16.0, boot loop to recovery.. any suggestions?
Make sure you're using the miui version of twrp, so it handles encryption correctly. You should have to enter your pin when you use twrp, if you're not getting prompted, something is wrong.
Re: boot loop. Just for testing, try unplugging your phone, turning it completely off and then back on.

[Help needed] Lost TWRP after flashing Xtended ROM.

I wiped the phone clean and tried to flash the new version of AEX But, it showed Error 7.
Tried looking for fix for Error 7 on internet, it didn't work for AEX5.6, 5.5, 5.4.
5.3 installs normally.
But felt like needed something new.
Went on the forums to find Xtended ROM. Flashed it.
After flashing it tried flashing Nano GAPPS.. Didn't work.
Tried to system reboot and thought I can later work it out.
ROM is all fine... But, later when I got to recovery mode.
(Problem begins)
I realised I lost TWRP.
And the recovery that's there wouldn't allow me to flash anything.
It looks more like CWM recovery but with less options.
It doesn't even have a advanced wipe!
Now I'm stuck with a non rooted phone, without Google bare minimum functionalities.
Am I alone? Help me out!

For aex issue did you flash factory2vendor zip before flashing rom?
You will have to install twrp image using PC. Like the first time you did when you were unlocking bootloader
Flash zui using qfil or miflash.
If bootloader is unlocked still. You can directly flash twrp.
If not first unlock your bootloader and then flash twrp.
For treble rom like aex5.5 you need to flash factory2vendor.zip and then flash twrp with treble support.
For info on flashing and link visit aex5.5 rom page.

I need help!!

I was trying to install custom rom (evolution X 4.6) on my redmi note 8 pro and it went a little bad
I started off normal by unlocking the bootloader and flashing TWRP then I closed avb 2.0 and installed root and everything was fine and my phone was booting normally so then I went TWRP and wiped the default wipe then i clicked install and flashed the rom and so then i clicked reboot and i was greeted with a bootloop and i don't know what to do i tried flashing global MIUI 12 but when it tries to boot it ends up opening TWRP i also made the big mistake of not backing up my device before attempting to flash custom rom someone please help I'm trying to rollback to the factory firmware but i don't know how
i just found out you had to be android 9 to flash custom roms
now I can't even enter twrp and I tried reflashing it and I still can't enter it the only thing I can do rn is enter fastboot
NVM i fixed it using mitoolv2 www .xiaomitool.com/V2/
