TWRP on the Phone but no ROM works - Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers

Hello, I have got a used MI MAX 3 that had Android 8.0 on it as I remember. There is TWRP 3.2.2-0 on it and the Bootloader is unlocked. I tried to install the newest global ROM but after reboot it got stucked at the MIUI logo. Then I tried older ROMs, even Chinese ones. I 'm always stuck to the MIUI logo.
I noticed that on the Android find my device manager the device is called a MIX 2S, but I remember that in settings about phone it stated MI MAX 3 and from the size it can not be a MIX 2S.
I don't know what to do next, because I'm worried that if I flash a ROM by fastboot it could remove TWRP or close the bootloader and I can't undo that.
Any idea what I could do to make my MAX 3 usable again?
I read about a fake ROM in the early times of the MAX 3 where you would have to flash a chinese ROM to repartition the device before using a global ROM.

[Q] Xiaomi Redmi 1S, stuck in fastboot screen and does nothing.

Hello everyone,
First of all, to all Moderators, please forgive me for posting about Xiaomi Redmi 1S in Xiaomi Mi 3 thread but I was desperate to find help from XDA community, and there were no threads or Forum dedicated to Xiaomi Redmi 1S.
Coming to my problem, I am stuck at Fastboot screen on my new Xiaomi Redmi 1S (Indian version, bought from Flipkart).
Reasons for the problem:
1. I tried rooting my Redmi 1S, and it worked fine.
2. Tried installing Xposed apk and it got installed, then while updated the count when I restarted the mobile, Redmi 1S got stuck at boot logo.
3. Fearing something might happen, I switched off the mobile after waiting for almost 35minutes, and wiped everything through recovery mode.
4. Then tried flashing the official rom from MIUI forums in the ways specified (http://en.miui.com/thread-38688-1-1.html). But nothing worked and the mobile remained in fastboot screen.
Can anyone please help me bring back my Redmi 1S??? Please.
THIS ISSUE IS SOLVED NOW
(Follow this Solution at your own risk. It worked for me, may not work for you)
Reason for bricking my Redmi 1S:
1. Trying to install Xposed app after rooting my Redmi 1S.
My Mobile condition before resolving the issue:
1. Stuck at Fastboot screen even when I plugged it for charging.
2. Mi-Recovery was still working.
Important Links that I followed:
i. http://en.miui.com/thread-38688-1-1.html
ii. http://en.miui.com/thread-38687-1-1.html
The way I solved it:
1. USing "http://en.miui.com/thread-38688-1-1.html" I installed fastboot drivers.
2. Downloaded the latest Official ROM for Redmi 1S from "http://en.miui.com/download-226.html"
3. Then, rather than flashing a Fastboot ROM, I flashed a Custom recovery (I used CWM), because Mi-Recovery doesn't have an option to Flash from External Memory Card.
4. I opened the custom recovery and flashed the Official ROM from my External Memory card, and bang, it worked
5. Once again go back to MI-Recovery and Wipe everything before using it normally, because few MI apps and Keyboard were frequently crashing.
Amusing & Inconvenient things that I found after my device was working fine:
1. I got more storage space after flashing the Official MIUI ROM (It was only around 370MB)
2. There was no System 1 and System 2 after going back to Mi-Recovery and try to reboot from there. (I dont know if that will create any problem in future, so I am a bit worried).
3. The Official ROM is completely in Chinese. I mean, the Mi-Store is completely in Chinese and I miss my Official Indian ROM which I got when the device was delivered, because I am unable to read what I was seeing
If anyone has the Official Indian ROM for Redmi 1S, please share it with me here and the only reason I want to go back to Indian version is for English, or else the Official MIUI ROM for Redmi 1S is AWESOME and also occupies less storage space.

Xiaomi phones are much more easy to mod, develop, and to fiddle with. They themselves encourage development.
It is usually nothing to be worried about if your Recovery or Fastboot is accessible.. You can always flash a new ROM and revive it...
As far as Chinese apps are concerned just remove them using Titanium back up or link2sd (I am assuming u have the v37 installed that is prerooted).
And then flash gapps for your version of MIUI (it will be a zip file that has to be flashed thru CWM.)
NOW you should have a condition somewhat similar to your stock ROM. You will still have some traces of Chinese text in the system.
So at present the best option is to wait for v37 ment for India. It should be released in a few days. Or flash v37 Global version.
Remember XPOSED is not ment to work on MIUI. For MIUI we have WSM tools which shall serve the purpose.
Good luck :good:
I have also flashed cwm recovery by using fastboot and then reinstalled rom again

Hey thanks a lot... I did not see those three notations as tabs to move around "Redmi 1S-WCDMA/CDMA China" "Redmi 1S-TD" and "Redmi 1S-WCDMA Global", but I thought those were just indications to use the ROM for all those variants. Now I will flash the official Global ROM for my Redmi 1S. But to be honest, the official Chinese ROM is very less in size and gives more space for apps to download compared to Global version. And in the Chinese version many apps crash a lot, and the frequent crashing aps are the keyboards like Swiftkey, Touchpal but for now Go Keyboard is working extremely good and did not crash till now from past two days.
But thanks anyway.

problem with Recovery Mode
Hello Friends help me,
I've been using Red mi 1s for past 2 years, but a few days back it stopped working showing Mi icon blinking on the screen. I went to nearby MI store to get my phone repaired but i was told that it was a motherboard failure and costs up to 4000/-. I told them not to repair that phone. Later, whenever I charge my mobile, it was blinking showing FastBoot image. I did not know what to do with that mobile. Then I've decided to do some experiment with my phone. I tried to go with recovey mode. It has entered to recovery mode but it blinks continuosly, when I try to select the language my screen goes off. Everytime I need to put charging to go to recovery mode and it blinks before I select language and further. But now the problem is all my personal data and contacts are stored and in sync with MI cloud, only some of my contacts are in sim card. The worst part is I forgot my cloud password and I want atleast my contacts back. Please help me out..
Thanks in advance

Mix 2 bricked?! Flashing went wrong. Need help please.

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.

Bootloop on Redmi note 5

Hi everyone!
I have a Redmi Note 5 with two cameras.
My problem is that ROM 10.0.5 (I believe) wasn't able to upgrade to 10.0.6, so I decided to flash it manually. Accidentally didn't switch "clean all and lock" (what a stupid default option...) it flashed, but as the result phone is stucked at booting/loading (bootloop) without reloads.
Mi logo and android with 3 dots in the bottom.
So bootloader was locked.
I downloaded MiFlash 2018.5.28.0, prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_ddr.elf
Tried a bunch of ROMs Chinese and Global: MIUI 9, MIUI 10 latest versions and 10.2, anti_test_note5 rom
Tried MiTool, MiFlash, QFIL.
But despite successful status of flashing different ROMs, I still have the same loading state of my phone.
Can anyone suggest something?
Tried all from this thread

Xiaomi Mi 9 SE - This MIUI version can't be installed on this device

I had this MIUI version MIUI Global 11.0.6 | stable 11.0.6.0 (QFBEUXM) received via OTA. But I flashed my phone because the battery draines when it's in standby mode.
I installed the follow rom V11.0.4.0.QFBMIXM (MIUI11) using fastboot Update.
The problem
After installation, I had a mistake when I flash my device using MiFlash, I forgot select clean all instead of clean all and lock.
Now, I get this message: This MIUI version cannot be installed on this device. I tried to reinstall the rom but cannot do it. Now my phone is in an infinite loop.
I bought my device new with bootloader unlocked from Amazon.
I tried to reinstall the rom grus_images_V11.0.3.0.QFBCNXM_20200426.0000.00_10.0_cn_da9b1a6100.tar using EDL Mode but also failed.
Is there any way to get my phone back?
Please, help me.
Thanks!

Question A Stucked Phone

Good afternoon people. Yesterday I went back to stock on my note 11, but some things didn't change and I thought it was something in the installation. I thought about using twrp in fastboot. The little big mistake I made was that because I tried to "fake" to xaomi the bootloader unlock, I took away all the developer options. I forgot this when trying to connect in fastboot mode to try and failed to install twrp . Now my cell is in fastboot mode on the screen. Do I have to wait for it to lose all battery for the phone to go back to normal again?
Sorry about my english , I hope that you understood the history
I didn't think they made twrp for the note 11 because of the mediatek chip
I don't know if this will help you but this shows you how to install the stock firmware
