Phone stuck in Fastboot after wiping data from MIUI 10 - Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Questions & Answers

Hi, new to the forums.
I downloaded MIUI 10 recovery rom (based on Android 9) and flashed it with TWRP. It booted to MIUI as normal, but I changed my mind and wanted to flash MIUI 11 recovery rom (still based on Android 9) instead. I normally set a pattern lock before rebooting into recovery but this time i forgot. This time it rebooted into MiRecovery3.0, then I wiped data from that menu thinking it would bring me to TWRP...now Im stuck with MiRecovery and cant even load MIUI 10 rom. All id like to do is to get TWRP back and flash my MIUI 11 then flash Magisk like I always do.
I tried
HTML:
.\fastboot.exe flash recovery twrp.img
but I keep getting FAILED (write to device failed(unknown error))
Then I realized I normally set the Pattern lock AND turn on USB debugging...but this time I wiped data before either of these things could be done...bad move ugh
Unlocked bootloader before all this happened but some threads say I might have relocked it?
I tried everything, please someone help!
My device is Global Rom.

Check with:
>> fastboot oem device-info
"fastboot" is equivalent to "./fastboot.exe"

I did that earlier and it said error too many threads or something similar and immediately kicked my device out of fastboot. I can double check when I wake up if needed?
And surprise, I left it on the charger and it booted back into MIUI all by itself . I checked developer settings and it says bootloader already unlocked with the greyed out slider. However, I still get the same unknown error when flashing twrp..
I did .\fastboot.exe devices and it detects the device but it just kicks me out of fastboot with that unknown error when I try flashing hope I can get twrp back
Edit : this time as soon as I saw MIUI I turned on USB debugging and set a Pattern lock! But still got the error after

I don't know why you need a Pattern lock - I absolutely never use it and flash from Fastboot or use TWRP with no problem (fingerprint, pin or nothing)
Ofc, USB debugging must be enabled

just tried the oem unlock command in fastboot, I got unknown error again, then kicked me out of fastboot.
i set the pattern lock cause i remember one time i didnt set one, so when I went to TWRP to flash a rom, folders were encrypted and i couldnt find the rom file. and i didnt have an otg adapter at the time. when i set the pattern i could enter the pattern in TWRP and view my decrypted folders and find the rom easily. now that i think of it does encryption actually stop me from pushing the rom with adb and somehow flashing it?
still new to all of this
edit: my only saving grace is the USB 2.0 hub arriving at my house today, and this thread... fingers crossed

For unlocking Bootloader you need to use their miflash_unlock PC program, not fastboot oem unlock command
So you mean pin/password, not the (graphical) pattern
If you disable pin/password, TWRP will not ask you but it should still know 'default' one to properly read/write to Storage

sorry i meant i typed oem device-info and I still got the unknown error and got kicked out
edit: also do you mind clarifying default, cause all i saw was the random numbers and letters as folder names and i know that once I entered my pattern in TWRP the issue was gone...did you mean storage/emulated/0?

USB 2.0 hub worked !! Android 9 based MIUI 11 rooted with Magisk on 84hz refresh rate...mindblowing.
Thanks for the help

Glad that you fixed.
Do you really see a difference with 84hz - and you downgraded because of not working with MIUI 11/12, Android 10?

Screen unlock Pattern is graphical one (see a screenshot), aren't you talking about pin/password
Data partition is File Based Encrypted (FBE) with ICE:
https://www.qualcomm.com/media/documents/files/file-based-encryption.pdf
You can see that if you open /vendor/data.qcom (textual file but root required)
Even if you don't set screen unlock protection, ICE still uses a key unique for your device and TWRP can also decrypt Storage on boot with 'default' password - see a photo from TWRP

Yes, when i used the graphical screen unlock it then showed me all the proper folder names, but before that it was all encrypted. if what youre saying is true then i might have not even entered phone setup far enough to skip screen unlock protection? i might have just immediately restarted to recovery while skipping usb debugging entirely...long nights i am sleepy lol
and 84hz is amazing, the phone feels so much more premium. I would do Android 10 based MIUI 11 but after seeing posts about getting bootloops with 84hz or other glitches I was scared off. once i go 84hz couldnt go back. also want the latest softwares with 84hz, but Android 9 based MIUI 11 seems to be farthest i can go. 84hz MIUI 12 Android 10 is the dream of course

Flashing Guide RoundUp for the LeEco Le Pro 3

Hi everyone, I finally got a little time to put together a guide to flashing stuff on the LeEco Le Pro 3 X727.
This phone comes with an unlockable bootloader out of the box, but we found some ways to get around that.
This guide will help anyone with a new X727 unlock the bootloader, install TWRP and root it.
First, I'd like to give huge props to @dr4stic for his excellent work on making it easier to unlock the phone, and for helping me get back to the US ROM after installing the Chinese rom.
On to the flashing...
If you want to take the long way around, this was the first method used for unlocking the bootloader:
First method is using the stock Chinese ROM & renaming it update.zip, place it in the root directory then use the Update app (or in settings) to select that update, then let it do its thing. It takes a while to boot back up so be patient.
Stock Chinese ROM: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862681546
Once the Chinese ROM is installed and booted up, enable Developer Options, make sure OEM Unlocking is turned on, then enable USB Debugging.
For these next steps, I'm quoting @dr4stic:
Have ADB/Fasboot tools on your computer (I am not helping you here, it you're lucky, maybe your friends will help)
Make sure you have enabled the developer tools, turned on USB debugging, and authorized your computer on your device (again, I'm not helping with that)
Make sure adb can see your device when you run "adb devices"
Run "adb reboot bootloader"
Run "fastboot devices" to make sure you see your device
Run "fastboot oem unlock-go" to unlock your device temporarily
Run "fastboot oem device-info" to verify unlock status
Your bootloader is now permanently unlocked (well, until you re-lock it on purpose).
The second, and much shorter method, is outlined in @dr4stic's thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/development/x727-model-persistent-bootloader-unlock-t3500388
Once your bootloader is unlocked, you'll want to install TWRP.
Here are a couple options for TWRP:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862668751 (Chinese version)
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=385035244224398544 (GrossoShop version)
Download either of those (or both if you want to try both), extract them and place the .img file(s) into the folder your ADB & Fastboot files are. To make the flashing easier, rename the twrp files to twrp.img. If you still have your command prompt window open, great! If not, open one again.
Now:
Run "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" (or whatever the twrp image filename is on your computer) to flash TWRP.
When flashing is complete, reboot into TWRP by pressing and holding Power Button and Volume Up Button at the same time and holding until you see the TWRP splash screen.
If TWRP boots up in Chinese, tap the big button on the lower right to open the language settings and choose the language you can understand.
Alright, now you have an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery installed. Your world has opened up a little bit more
The main problem with installing the stock Chinese ROM is that it does not have Google Play and there is no band 12 support (at least for T-Mobile), but at least bands 2 & 4 still work.
It's easy enough to find methods to get that installed, but I tried the GrossoShop ROM which is a very good ROM, but if you must have band 12, you'll need to read down a little farther.
Link to GrossoShop ROM: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862686304
Okay, if you chose to use the long route and installed the Chinese ROM, you can still get back to the full US version, complete with all LTE bands. dr4stic is responsible for this gem, and was my way back to US ROMdom.
To go from Chinese or Custom ROM back to Stock US version:
The file is located in his Android File Host space here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=601275311581036717
It's a little tricky to install, so follow these steps:
1. Enter TWRP and from Advanced Wipe, wipe Dalvick/ART Cache, Cache, System and Data (Leave Internal Storage untouched if that's where you copied the new ROM zip).
2. Install CN5.8.018s-to-US5.8.019s.zip
3. DO NOT REBOOT DIRECTLY AFTER FLASHING (Phone just vibrates forever if you reboot directly after flashing)
4. Go back to TWRP Home, then tap Reboot, then tap System.
The phone should reboot after that, and it might take a while. Then follow the setup process as you normally would and it should go through the Google setup as well.
To install root, I use SuperSU. Sometimes it's kinda hard to find the most up to date version, so I'll post the latest one that I have: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767120474
There's probably a newer version already, but I haven't looked.
Simply download and flash that file in TWRP, reboot and you're rooted. Easy peasy.
To flash only the US modem to restore band 12 on any ROM:
Download: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=601300970940399635
Extract the zip file and place it in your adb & fastboot folder.
From your abd & fastboot files folder (with the modem image in there too) open a command prompt and run
fastboot flash modem modem-5.8.019s.img
Then reboot your phone.
Keep this file handy because you'll need it every time you flash a ROM that doesn't have a US modem.
With the methods listed above, you should now be able to take a new LeEco Le Pro 3 X727 and unlock the bootloader, install TWRP, flash whatever ROMs you want, and restore US modem.
Again, big big thanks to @dr4stic to getting us to this point for the easy unlock option AND big thanks to all of you folks here in the forums for all of you suggestions, efforts and enthusiasm!
I imagine there will be some refinements and/or corrections to this guide as questions and suggestions come up, so please, if you see something in here that is wrong or unclear, please let me know.
Thank you for the good guide.
well done. Please keep it updated...

"...It's easy enough to find methods to get that installed, but I tried the GrossoShop ROM which is a very good ROM, but if you must have band 12, you'll need to read down a little farther..."
Did I miss the part on how to keep the Band 12 capabilities?
Thanks John, you have been very kind and helpful! So here what my setup is...
1. I installed Chinese ROM on 727.
2. Unlocked bootloader
3. Installed twrp, installed CM13.
I'm happy with this setup. All I want is the T-Mobile band 12 support. Can you please post steps on this part as well?
I see a long process where I can install CN.x.x.to.US.x.x.zip file via twrp. But will this lock the bootloader again and replace it with stock recovery? I didn't know that TWRP can update bootloader so I'm curious. If so I can follow dr4stic's guide to unlock the bootloader and then install twrp and restore the backup of my CM13.

Flashing the CN-US ROM will not relock the bootloader, so you're safe there.
I followed the shorter version to unlock the bootloader and flashed twrp, and it worked. Once I reboot, and go back in recovery, it goes to stock recovery. I wonder if I need to delete the stock recovery?

If you install TWRP from fastboot (fastboot flash recovery twrp.img), it should replace the factory recovery.

In fastboot mode type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img".... Fastboot boot recovery.img will only boot it and return back to stock after reboot. Flash will make it remain.

I hate to speak for everyone here but it's highly unlikely someone will take the time to do that. I suggest you instead do as much research as you can, and make a video for the next person like yourself that prefers it. Speaking from experience most people on XDA will recommend spending as much time reading and learning as you can, and then taking the "leap" on your own. Rooting and unlocking is not for the faint of heart, and a bit of confidence in your own abilities can go a long way! I hope this doesn't sound condescending, but just my advice. Best of luck!
I just installed the stock chinese ROM and when it boots it asks for a password to start Android. Has anyone else seen this. Do you know what the password is?

Nevermind. Booted into recovery and formatted the system then it ran fine.

It had this happen and If i remember correctly, their is a bug in the system and it wont let you past that screen regardless what. Just boot to twrp do a data backup. Format everything else except internal storage and reflash your rom
I followed this guide and flashed the US modem zip on top of stock 19s. However, my SIM is recognized and the "Mobile Networks" setting page is grayed out. However, my phone is still booting with Chinese text in the bootloader. How do I fix this?

I install twrp on recovery ramdisk and try to root my phone. its OK but when my phone want to start its stuck on google page "just a sec..."
I boot my device on twrp and I did factory reset but the problem was still exist.
then I decided to flash update again.
I copy update file on SD card and wright code on twrp
but at the end when I reboot the recovery, twrp except stock recovery came up and my stock recovery was gone.
I reboot the system but Its loop on this page that says:
ERROR MODE
Attention!
Please update system again.
Error!

Error NO : 2 (load failed!)
Please help me!!!
I try to install stock recovery and twrp with adb and huawei multi tools but it didn't work.
it shows:
"FAILED (remote: partition length get error)"
I try to unbrick my phone too but it shows same message that "FAILED (remote: partition length get error)"

Doing the update second time is fine, and best way to restore full stock. But you needed to use Oreo version of no-check recovery and the Oreo partition to flash it to.
So if still able to get into twrp, can try with correct no-check recovery and correct partition it's flashed to.
Also
With multi tool , make sure you put check mark on emui 8. Up in upper right corner. That way it uses Oreo partition names and file not nougat.
The partition length over message usually means nougat file or partition name used on Oreo system

On the extractor app. On options tab uncheck the verify header option, it should extract then.
Then perhaps first do these three partitions.
Kernel.img
Ramdisk.img
Then
twrp_ramdisk or for stock use recovery_ramdisk

Hi
I have a problem with my Honor 7X L21.
Because online update dose not work for this model I decided to updated my smartphone offline.
I downloaded Oreo update file
Unlock my phone
install twrp
update phone
every thing is going well until here
then I decided to root my phone but I saw there is no twrp on my phone
I search and I found a thread here that show how install twrp with adb use recovery ramdisk.
I install twrp on recovery ramdisk and try to root my phone. its OK but when my phone want to start its stuck on google page "just a sec..."
I boot my device on twrp and I did factory reset but the problem was still exist.
then I decided to flash update again.
I copy update file on SD card and wright code on twrp
but at the end when I reboot the recovery, twrp except stock recovery came up and my stock recovery was gone.
I reboot the system but Its loop on this page that says:
ERROR MODE
Attention!
Please update system again.
Error!
Func NO : 11 (recovery image)
Error NO : 2 (load failed!)
Please help me!!!
I try to install stock recovery and twrp with adb and huawei multi tools but it didn't work.
it shows:
"FAILED (remote: partition length get error)"
I try to unbrick my phone too but it shows same message that "FAILED (remote: partition length get error)"

I ever have similiar problem with you dude, but it's solved now, if you always stuck on " its OK but when my phone want to start its stuck on google page "just a sec...", its call google accont verification, i'll by bypass with this script, save as to .bat and put on adb folder
adb devices
adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/secure --bind name:s:user_setup_complete --bind value:s:1
adb shell am start -n com.google.android.gsf.login/
adb shell am start -n com.google.android.gsf.login.LoginActivity
pause
in fastboot type:
fastboot -w
after all it's works to me to bypass google account verification
and if now your problem is
ERROR MODE
Attention!
Please update system again.
Error!
Func NO : 11 (recovery image)
Error NO : 2 (load failed!)
i solve with re-flash system from this
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673956719939830152
fastboot flash system system.img
and doing TWRP Flashing
https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=25826#downloads
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk complete_twrp_ramdisk.img
and voila my problem solved..

So now is locked frp. Does phone have twrp or stock now.?
I think when you tried to install the oreo update for second time, you followed same tutorial as the first time. And that made you problem worse. The tutorial has you flash no-check recovery to 2 partition by block number. 22 & 29. On nougat that is "recovery" and "recovery2". On Oreo partion table it is "reserved2" & "erecovery_vendor"
I don't know how to fix imei. Have hope that if to ucan have a full ota install , maybe can be fixed.
There is available a "service rom" (used to fix most all problem) for Europe region with l21.
I can share link to site with service rom if you want , but I have not used it myself so not gonna be much help with it.
Link is to rusian language page. Google should translate for you.

in summery. because i have been going back and forth in multiple different groups, multiple problem, i cant remember it all.
you have broken system, from failed root attempt, followed by failed update.
device condition is as follows.
--system not booting
--stock recovery loads
--fastboot/bootloader loads, but is in frp lock status
options are limited, at best.
I think "dload" method with service rom is best.
other option is maybe paid service like dc-unlock. But I can recall some note on there service about frp-unlock, that can only be used on device with working system. (of course if was working system, wouldn't need dc-unlock)

what about the "about phone" screen
what does it show for version?
If is all stock you should be able to go into deveolper options and enable "oem unlock". If it is greyed out and cannot switch it. Try First to remove google account (all accounts ). and reboot. See if can change then. If not, try Second to do "fastboot oem relock [enter your bootloader code here]
after relock and rebooted oem switch should be enabled again.
****RELOCK IS ONLY ADVISED IF 100% STOCK ROM****
otherwise relock could make more trouble.
Still not sure how to get IMEI back even if unlocked frp though.

Hello I have a Huawei Mate-SE (with bootloader unlocked and rooted with magisk v16). I have been using the android custom rom RRO v6 (RR-O-v6.0.0-20180401-bnd-OpenKirin) for around a month now. I got this exact same problem about the White Screen saying "ERROR MODE Attention...." since I updated the Magisk to latest version (from the installed application) and rebooted my phone. SInce I rebooted I am getting that same error which makes the phone loops into it for a few times and then it loads the Huawei eRecovery that offers me some options that I am not sure what would do to my phone.
I have been trying to connect to adb tools/fastboot but it doesn't detect the phone and im pretty sure I have the device drivers installed on my computer since nothing have changed in my pc for a month now since I flashed RRO on it.
Is there any other mode besides recovery that would allow me to connect adb/fastboot to it? Or does anyone knows how should I proceed?

I have seen where the magisk update screwed up and patches the kernel intead of the ramdisk.
Power off , long press power button.
Hold volume down and plug in USB from PC.
This should cause it to boot into fastboot mode.
Then flash the stock kernel. And the stock or first patched ramdisk. (From earlier root)

Hi thank you I was able to finally detect the device now. I am unsure about the kernel is that the recovery.img or system.img files I downloaded (i saved every file i used when I installed the rom) or do I need to look for the kernel somewhere else? I do have the complete_twrp_ramdisk.img file though.
Edit, I did more research and found the stock kernel is withing the boot.img file which I dont have so I looked up for the official BND-L34 oreo update and im currently downloading to extract the stock boot.img from the update.zip and flash it. Since that download was going to take me a while anyway i tried flashing the twrp recovery file without success (didn't changed anything) so i guess I should follow the instructions you gave me by flashing the kernel first then the twrp recovery.

Do you know what the boot.img files name is after extraction?
I have extracted all 3 update zips and cannot find anything called boot.img

if you were on oreo. then there is not a boot.img, instaed there is seperate ramdisk.img and kernel.img.
i have all the files already extracted for oreo and a backup from nougat as well.
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=265998
make sure you know what you are doing before flashing.
for example. on oreo the boot and recovery share one kernel image. SO if kernel is messed up you will not be able to boot "boot" or "recovery"

[Guide][Mi 8 Lite](Global) how to install TWRP + root with Magisk

Disclaimer :
YOU are choosing to make these modifications
and YOU are the only one responsible for any damages done to your device
==== Notes/Prerequisets/Links ====
* you should have already unlocked your bootloader (if not then start the process as soon as possible because it's going to take a while).
* backup your stuff, make sure you have sufficient charge just in case anything went wrong.
* download the unoffical TWRP port from Here (get the latest version)
* get the latest magisk from Here
* install device usb drivers
* set up fastboot properly Method A, Method B (using chocolaty)
- - - - - - - - - - - -
instructions :
1- shutdown your device completely.
2- enter fastboot mode by pressing and holding the Vol Down + Power Button button until you see xiaomi's mi bunny with a blue "fastboot" text underneath it.
3- connect your device to your pc via usb cable.
4- on your pc check if you have fastboot configured properly and your device recognized by typing:
Code:
fastboot devices
if it's detected then you're good to proceed to the next step.
5- flash the twrp recovery image by using the usual fastboot commands.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
in our case it should look something like:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-TWRP-3.3.0-0517-XIAOMI8LITE-CN-wzsx150.img
6- unplug usb cable and hold the Vol up + Power Button (don't let go of the buttons untill the devices vibrates) and let it boot to the twrp recovery you just installed.
7- if you rebooted successfully, you should be at TWRP splash screen, if greeted with a slider slide it and continue.
8- in the main menu of TWRP, go to "Install" choose the magisk zip file you downloaded and flash it, when done reboot the device.
9- congratulations friend, you're now rooted and have TWRP as your recovery Happy Flashing :highfive:

Is it possible to just accesss the TWRP to edit build.prop enabling camera2 Api?
If I remember is something about:
fastboot boot twrp.img
and then:
setprop persist.camera.HAL3.enabled 1
Without the need of root the device.
Thanks for the guide!

Thank you for the reply. I've done it in Mi A1 but I don't know if it's the same procedure because of the MIUI. One of the links says that we have to change something in kernel to do it.
It would be good expert people try it to see what method works. It's sad that the Mi 8 Lite doesn't have a proper forum until now.

Hi Malek,
When you first boot to TWRP, were you asked for the decryption password? If yes, did you just format data to skip this? I was asked for the password and my screen PIN did not work. Just wondering if there is no other choice that to format data.

to this point i don't really understand how encryption works on this device
it's on by default i guess
so what i finally did the other day to be kinda sure of what's happening
i flashed stock rom in Mi Flash with the clean all option checked
i set up the phone for the first time without setting any fingerprint or security or anything
after that i flashed twrp
from twrp i flashed dm verity and encryption disable
get it from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-t3817389
(make aure to read the first post)
then formatted data
after that the booted up and i set it up normally
and then booted to twrp again to flash latest magisk
now when i check if my device is encrypted using this adb command "adb shell getprop ro.crypto.state"
i get "unencrypted"
so i guess it works? i don't know lol

It looks like your phone was not encrypted (or was encrypted with MIUI's default password) when you flashed TWRP, as you had clean flashed stock then set up without setting security. That you could start TWRP to flash "dm versity and encryption disable", without being asked to input a password first, shows that TWRP was able to handle the default encryption (or no encryption) of the clean MIUI install.
In my case I already have a screen PIN set up on my phone before trying to install TWRP, and this version of TWRP can't handle it. Another difference is that I have not actually flashed TWRP onto the phone but have merely booted to TWRP via fastboot. I wouldn't have thought that this would affect TWRP's ability to decrypt the DATA partition though.
In hindsight I should have just done the minimum setup after the phone was wiped by the bootloader unlocking process before installing TWRP. I guess that unless there is another version of TWRP out that can handle the screen PIN encryption, my only option is to wipe clean the phone so that I can repeat what you did. However, now that I have reinstalled everything on the phone, I am a bit reluctant to do this just to get root. I think I will wait until there is an AOSP ROM available and do the wipe/format at the time of switching. Hopefully I don't have to wait too long!

An update: I've now got over this encryption thing. It is indeed the screen PIN that was causing me problems. While I had tried removing the PIN and all fingerprints last time, I had powered down the phone immediately after removing the PIN and booted into fastboot mode. Today I thought I better try it one more time: after removing the PIN, reboot the phone to system first before powering it down and restarting in fastboot mode. This cycles the phone system at least once without the PIN so hopefully any traces of the PIN would really be wiped. And indeed it works - the booted TWRP (i.e. not flashed to phone) has no problems reading my phone and I could install Magisk.
So I now have stock recovery + Magisk on my Mi8 Lite, which is the minimum I wished to do to it. Maybe at a later date I would flash TWRP onto the phone as well.
i cant unlock my mi 8 lite, say user portrait scores too low or black, i activate all need, oem, usb, sync device. no work, any help?
Everything is ok for global rom.
For the language twrp asked directly at first launch for it and you don't need anymore magisk, you can install it directly from twrp. ( advance/install root ) it'll install the version 17.1 and you can update it from the app on the phone.
No problem for reboot into twrp ( volume up + power) even with fingerprint.

yeah i know there's no problem in turning the phone off then rebooting manually with the buttons
but i was talking about using "fastboot reboot recovery" command to reboot to recovery from fastboot directly
anyways glad everything worked for you friend : )

Stuck at boot screen after trying to restart my device, don't want to lose data

Hey there, so I was playing a game PubG in which in the middle of a match the screen got stuck. I waited for 10 mins for it to go back and tried locking the screen with power button but nothing happened. When I long pressed it closed for a second then restarted and got stuck on bootscreen with only mi logo and no animation. Now it isn't switching off it gets rebooted to the same screen again. Only fastboot is opening. I don't want to lose my personal data there photos, videos that includes all my college life. If I try to flash it I think I will lose all data. Also I didnt backup all the data on mi cloud or anywhere. Please help me.
Also in flashing if I select the option 'save user data' will my data be saved?
same issue
same issue
happened to me just now
should be common software/update issue
Is your bootloader unlocked?
If you only want to back up your music, photos,videos,documents etc. , flash twrp recovery then boot into it (power+vol up about 11s). Connect your phone to PC. Then copy all data you need to save. Then reboot to fastboot and do a clean flash (clean all).
If you either want to back up the application data, do the previous operation without flashing first, and then do a "dirty" flash (save user data). At this time, your phone should be able to boot, use the BACKUP app to back up all your application data and copy it to your computer. The backup file seems to be stored in /storage/emulated/ 0/MIUI/backup, I don't remember it well.
After backing up all data you needed to save, you'd better do a clean flash using fastboot method. Make sure you choose "clean all".

If you only want to back up your music, photos,videos,documents etc. , flash twrp recovery then boot into it (power+vol up about 11s). Connect your phone to PC. Then copy all data you need to save. Then reboot to fastboot and do a clean flash (clean all).
If you either want to back up the application data, do the previous operation without flashing first, and then do a "dirty" flash (save user data). At this time, your phone should be able to boot, use the BACKUP app to back up all your application data and copy it to your computer. The backup file seems to be stored in /storage/emulated/ 0/MIUI/backup, I don't remember it well.
After backing up all data you needed to save, you'd better do a clean flash using fastboot method. Make sure you choose "clean all".

Thanks for replyling. I think my bootloader is not unlocked. Also power+vol up is not working, only power+vol down is working. Can I flash twrp with bootloader locked?

So what did you do? Please tell me the method if you were able to solve it.
Re: Prakharpathak
I'm sorry because I can't save a phone that have a locked bootloader. If you wish to try Qualcomm QDLoader9008, maybe it will not work. Xiaomi has locked the 9008 port for their phones. Unless you have an authorized Mi account to get the verify token and send the authentitation tag to your phone, or the phone will reject all flashing commands. QPST is not working. The only difference is that the bootloader can be unlocked, but the 9008 requires authorization every time.
If you want to try the force unlock bootloader tool, once the force unlock is successful, you will lose all your data. Unless you can erase the recovery partition before the bootloader send a wipe command to Mi-recovery. In other words, if the recovery partition is erased or the recovery is not stock recovery (like twrp, etc) , unlocking the bootoader will not lose any data. Twrp does not accept the wipe command from the bootloader.
[edit]Now we have working firehose programmer could be used. Use QFIL to dump your userdata.

my bootloader is locked but i am ready to lose all my data , can you please tell me how can i boot my device
Re: @jagannath287
If this is also useful for you @Prakharpathak , you can also try.
If you are ready to lose all your data, you can try to use Mi PC Suite. Offical link of MI PC SUITE:
http://pcsuite.mi.com
You must be able to boot into Mi-Recovery, otherwise my solution will not help you.
Download the recovery ROM for your phone. Note that you can't upgrade or downgrade the OS version using this method.
After downloading and installing the Mi PC Assistant application on your computer, run it and login to your MI account. Then select FLASH ROM section and connect your device to your PC. Make sure your device is booted into Mi-recovery and selected “Connect with MiAssistant”.
Warning: you can't downgrade/change ROM region (you can only install the same area version to your phone, like MI-MI, RU-RU, EEA-EEA, etc) using this method.
Make a full wipe for your phone and select the RECOVERY ROM package: fast update and agree with full wipe. Then wait for the data erasing is fully done. After you see “Checking zip file update” and if all ok, the flashing progress will start and you will see the flashing is in progress. At last, you will see the window with successfully flashing. In theory, the phone will reboot to system automatically. The first start will take about 10 minutes. Be patient and wait the welcome screen.
There is another MI PC SUITE version that I found and I attach with my post. There is also a XiaomiADB flashing program.
Alternative method:
Download the adb driver and install it on your computer. Use the XiaomiADB full-auto flash program to flash your phone.
Select “Connect with MIAssistant” in the recovery and connect the phone to PC.
Make sure the recovery ROM zip file and XiaomiADB flashing program that in same folder. For start flashing just HOLD zip ROM AND DRUG IT TO THE XiaomiADB. After this command your DATA will be reset! You lost all files and Settings on your device.
At last, I suggest you to unlock the bootloader for your phone as soon as possible and flash your phone using MiFlash in fastboot mode in order to avoid facing mysterious bugs. A phone that have an unlocked bootloader is easy to save (unbrick) or backup all data from the phone without booting into system.

Re: @Arun pm
Xiaomi has locked the 9008 port for their devices.
Can you flash and boot into TWRP recovery?
Can your phone boots into fastboot?
Did you try to flash every partition manually?
Did you try to flash the oldest version--V9.5.19?
More information needed. It can save time and guesswork.

Re: @Arun pm
You'd better create a new thread otherwise we will disturb the original author of this thread (Prakharpathak).
Did you mean the returned message from your phone is like this:
Sending "recovery"...
OKAY. Total time: 4.016s
Writing "recovery"...
FAILED<remote: Permission Error>
finished. Total time: 4.016s
In theory, the fastboot won't return this message and the USB debugging switch has no relation with fastboot flashing.
All partitions can't be flashed and return the "permission error" message?
Can you take a photo of the flashing error message?
[edit] Now we have working programmer and you could do all you want via EDL.

I am currently facing a similar situation.
My device redmi note 5 pro was running on miui 11 and suddenly its screen froze and then it got restarted and stuck at mi logo. It has locked bootloader and I can't access the stock recovery but I can access fastboot mode. I tried flashing different miui versions with different flash tools and everytime the process starts then after 9 seconds I get the error "ack count doesn't match". I tried flashing with edl point method as well and with a patched firehose file to bypass mi authentication but still got the same error. Can you please help me? I searched around the net and I can't find anything related to this particular error I am getting. I would really appreciate if you can help.
oh god same issue its not booting, checked with service centre not able to update software, one of the mobile shop guy told that mobile mother board working fine but unable to locate software so that it can boot, now i am blank and helpless can you guys help me out please.. if people in chennai here let me know guys.. its been 5 th day without my mobile...

I tried to flash orange fox recovery but bootloader is locked and no fastboot commands working. I have tried mi unlock flash tool to unlock bootloader but error is comming "couldn't unlock more devices by this account this month" on official tool and on unofficial tool error is "current account is not bounded to this device". I cannot add device to this account since phone is into bootloop and wanted to save data. Is there any way to unlock bootloader and get access to storage data?

Sorry I took for granted that you had the bootloader unlocked. Then I don't know. Hope someone else can help you

any development in the above event i am in the same stage

MOTO G STYLUS 2020 UNLOCK BOOT/ROOT all steps easy

Hi guys I know their are threads how to do this but they are all over the place, If you'd like a complete tutorial, that will get your 2020 MOTO G Stylus phone rooted without any errors let me know.
Edit: It looks like people are interested so here goes. The tutorial below is for the 2020 version I tested on Android 10 on two variants. This method once followed correctly will take no more than 30 min tops. Not sure if this will work on updated versions but you could try at your own risk. If this helped you leave a like, if you have any questions let me know.
prerequisites:
PC (duh lol)
Fully Charged Device
Motorola Account (for bootloader unlock purposes)
adb fastboot installed (take note of your folder location especially the platform-tools folder
motorola drivers (link in step 5 if drivers don't install correctly after connecting phone)
Tutorial:
Unlocking bootloader
1. first step is to unlock bootloader(all data will be erased) for this you will need your unlock key
2. go to settings, about phone build # hit a bunch of times to enable developer options
3. once enabled go to developer option enable OEM unlock, disable automatic update (do not update), and enable USB debugging.
4. while phone is on plug into pc to allow drivers to install, also allow usb debugging when prompted. go to where you have adb installed and go in the platform tools folder (this is where I do everything on my phones without errors) hit shift+right click and choose "open command window here" type in "adb devices" without quotes and check if the device is present.
5. now to test if you have fastboot drivers power off phone, then hold power+volume down to enter fastboot mode, plug phone into your computer and repeat step 4 this time typing "fastboot devices" if your phone shows up move on to next step if not download Motorola drivers and install then repeat this step. You can get the driver here and install https://combofile.com/index.php?a=downloads&b=file&id=3396.
6. once your device is detected its time to unlock bootloader, go to https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a sign in and follow the steps, they are simple and straight forward so I won't list them here. Once unlocked restart your phone, set up and proceed to below steps.
Rooting
1. with bootloader unlocked time to get root. download the latest magisk manager (23 I believe) let it install and power off your phone we will use it later. We will be getting the specific boot image for your device through temporary twrp.
2. go to https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-unofficial-twrp-3-5-0.4155041/ and download TWRP credits to @vache. Place the file in your platform-tools folder.
3. enter fastboot mode (by now it should be second nature) and plug into pc, verify fastboot device connected, by opening command window again in platform-tools folder
4. once verified type the following command without the quotes "fastboot boot twrp-3.5.0-0-rav-sofia.img" be patient, when it boots into twrp, cancel any password creation.
5. go to backup and select storage, choose a sd card, do not decrypt or do anything besides what I'm saying here. it will take you back to the beginning after sd card selected as storage, click backup and select only boot at the very top and creat backup. once done go out to twrp main menu and hit reboot, select "reboot system"
6. now to patch boot, open magisk manager and go to install, it will then give you the option to locate and patch boot.img, however we will be going into twrp backup on your sd card and locate boot.emmc.win (not the other two) once selected hit lets go on Magisk and allow it to patch. your patched boot.img will be in a download folder on your internal memory. Copy that file to your computer and then again move it to platform-tools folder
7. power off device and enter fastboot mode for the final time connect to pc, open command window in platform-tools folder and type the following command without the quotes "fastboot flash boot nameofbootfile.img" hit enter and allow to flash, once completed type "fastboot reboot" your device should now reboot, don't worry if it takes slightly longer than usual.
8. finally go into the magisk manager and let it complete its setup, it should reboot one more time and boom, you have root, remember to use magisk hide, That's it all set. If followed correctly this should only take about 30 min to a hour.
Shucks! I thought this was a tutorial.

If we have updated to Android 11, such as myself, and want to use the tutorial... Couldn't we just BACKUP (which is needed to root anyways), and do a FACTORY SETTINGS RESET to bring our OS back to Android 10?

I'm pretty sure a factory reset would restore to 11 not 10. As the 11 update replaced the 10 OS altogether.

I'm not sure if a factory reset would take the OS back to 10, you might need to search around for downgrade options. I'd advise anyone not to update to android 11, 10 is great especially with root. I have magisk pass safteynet, and even able to play pokemon go with gps spoof and smali patcher.

I'm on stock and want to flash this rom. I need to start from scratch. I need to unlock the bootloader, I got the email from Motorola months ago, but haven't had time to figure out how to use fastboot. It's been years since I used it. I'm also on Android 11 and I need to find out how to downgrade to Android 10. Any advice is appreciated.
I have an annoying Security Update that keeps popping up saying that I need to restart my device, and that it only takes 90 seconds. I'm afraid that if I restart my device, the update will install and I won't be able to downgrade to Android 10 from 11, and then I 'll be stuck with this stock rom. Can I disable this pop up?

Ok if you have your unlock code you should still be able to unlock bootloader. However the first thing you need to do is enable your developer options and enable OEM unlock, enable USB debugging and disable automatic updates that should stop updates you can also go on app info when you get the notification and disable notifications for system updates. If you have an unlock bootloader you should be able to root even android 11

Thank you very much. How do I disable automatic updates and how do I go on app info to disable notifications for system updates? Now a message is on the same screen that says that if I don't restart my phone by the 21st, it will automatically update it.
For downgrading to android 10:
1. Grab the moto flash tool from here
2. Grab the a10 firmware from your device here
3. Unzip the moto flash tool and put the firmware zip in the folder called firmware
4. Plug your device in to your pc in bootloader mode
5. Start the moto flash tool and follow the instructions
(Unlocked bootloader required)

I don't know of any solution to this but you should be able to update and keep magisk if you let it do the ota update then use the magisk manager to flash to the other slot.

Assuming you have a non Verizon or any other oem that blocks unlocking the bootloader follow the steps from the original post:
(step one makes no sense they wrote it kinda weird)
2. go to settings, about phone build # hit a bunch of times to enable developer options
3. once enabled go to developer option enable OEM unlock, disable automatic update (do not update), and enable USB debugging.
4. while phone is on plug into pc to allow drivers to install, also allow usb debugging when prompted. go to where you have adb installed and go in the platform tools folder (this is where I do everything on my phones without errors) hit shift+right click and choose "open command window here" type in "adb devices" without quotes and check if the device is present.

you can install magisk manager with bootloader locked but there is no sense in installing it on locked bootloader, because when you unlock your bootloader your devices will be factory reset, if you checked my instructions you will see that magisk manager is needed to patch boot.img that you will get from TWRP backup. You seem a bit green about the whole fastboot process, if that's the case I'd advise you to do a little reading up on adb fastboot, which needs to be installed to unlock your bootloader, if you go in blind you can brick your device and I wouldn't want that.

Re: bootlock unlock code email
I went on the Lenovo/Motorola website just yesterday and input the long 5-line code from my phone (required) from SDK platform. Once I did this, the website replied that I will receive email with a unique 20-character bootloader unlock code (this is the part you should check again). Instead of getting a code, the email asked that I first "verify my email", so I followed the directions, clicked the link, the link brought me to their website and I was able to verify my account. Once that happened, the page just kinda froze. So I repeated the process and when I clicked the "verify email" button, it brought me again to the website but thus time to my profile page. There was no Bootloader Unlock Code, nor was I emailed the code as assured as I was, as per their website suggests. I repeated the process a 3rd time but the same thing happened. And when I tried to went back #2 + #3 times, I input all the information again, clicked on the "send email" link (where they email you the 20-character code) I never received any additional emails. I only received 1 email (the first time I input this into their website). So, the site will only work 1 time per unique phone (serial). I called customer support and got nowhere! I have Metro by T-Mobile Motorola Moto G Stylus XT2043-4. I hope you see this and please let me know if you are able to unlock or get a email code as promised (or not). And if you have any information on how else to solve this issue, please let me know. I hope this helps & my apologies for being a bearer of bad news. If I solve this issue, I will respond back.
