Mi A1 Bootloop after ota update and Locked Bootloader - Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I've installed an ota update and the device didn't boot... it is stuck in a bootloop....
When i try to flash via fastboot, it appears an error saying that the device is locked ant cennot erase...
via fastboot oem unlock i get the error message: Remote: oem unlock is not allowed
via MiUnlocker the unlock gets to de 50% and gives an error and on its logs it says: Remote: oem unlock is not allowed
I tryed to flash TWRP with command fastboot flash recovery but the error is the same: remote: partition flashing is not allowed
Can anyone help me please??
I'm stuck on the bootloop i can't go to setting - developer - allow oem unlock option!!

Have you tried doing a Factory Reset from stock recovery?

This is a strange behavior, even if an OTA update corrupted the system for some reason, the phone should boot from the original slot.
Have you tried switching slots manually from fastboot ?

How can i do that?

Hello!
I've faced the exact same problem yesterday.
You need to force the phone to boot in EDL mode by opening the back cover and short circuit 2 pins as shown in THIS video.
After you have the phone in EDL and being detected by your PC (you need the correct drivers, you may get them on THIS thread by @CosmicDan), you may use MiFlash Tool to flash official PIE Rom, access developer options and enable oem unlock to be able to unlock your phone again.
If you wish to revert to Oreo, please use THIS guide.
Cheers!

Actually you have a recovery. You need to long press the power button and, afterwards (not at the same time), press the volume + button. You'll see that all options will appear.

[Q] Bricked - after TWRP restore - unsuccessful

It is the same problem as written here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8...awei-p8-lite-2017-pra-lx1-brick-trwp-t3660664
I've followed every steps, but my phone is still bricked.
My build version is (I guess?) PRA-LX1C432B100
I tried several firmware builds to restore on, but when I try to install it (by pushing POWER / VOL - / VOL +) :
- PRA-LX1C530B130 : firmware versions mismatch
- PRA-LX1C33xxxx : can't install, I don't remember error message but surely the same as the above one.
- PRA-LX1C432B128 : "Installing update" at 5% then "Software install failed" with sub message "Get help from http://www.emui.com/emotiondownload?mod=restore"
I followed the rooting method from a french website that was for build PRA-LX1C432B100 but I can't find this firmware anywhere.
Can someone have the link ? Tried with Firmware Finder.. Now i'm downloading from needrom but still don't know if it's for the good build version...
When the phone boots, it displays :
- HW Logo
- Warning about the BL
- HW logo
- blank
- HW logo
- Warning about the BL
- erestore
When trying to download and reboot from erestore, it says "Getting package info failed" and thus, can't download.
----
TWRP
I also tried to flash PRA-LX1C530B130 update.zip, but I get the exact same thing as here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4008385&d=1484772172

Any way to unbrick this d*mn thing ?
I need help, thank you.
Your phone is locked. Try the unlocking by huawei unlockcode.
Thank you for this fast answer,
though, where do I enter the code(s) ?
I went to https://tools.texby.com/unlock-codes/huawei/ to obtain my code, is that correct ?
I entered fastboot, no devices found with "huawei code writer"
Same with recovery mode and eRecovery :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",

}
Do this command in fastbootmode by adb:
fastboot oem unlock 1234567...... (your unlock code from Huawei.
Oh okay, but i'm already unlocked.
...
FAILED (remote: already fastboot unlocked)
finished. total time: 0.004s

Ok., then flash the stock recovery again and make a factoryreset.
I can't find the stock recovery on internet nor on Firmware Finder. Do you know where I can find PRA-LX1C432B100 ?
I flashed many times on differents build versions those files :
recovery.img
boot.img
system.img
cust.img
Do I need to only flash the stock recovery (if I can find it..) to make everything else work ?
if I have no stock system nor stock boot, will it boot ?
And by "stock" I mean "stock for my device" because I've tried many stock images that end up in erecovery, even after a factory reset in the stock recovery.
-- EDIT --
With the mobile app, it says that the PRA-LX1C432B100 has been removed from the server.
Flash TWRP and see if it starts there.

I think the folder you extracted the rom must be in C:\ and have no spaces or symbols, e.g. C:\miuirom and not C:\miui rom or C:\miui_rom.

Your device is in locked bootloader, you need to unlock your bootloader first before flashing ane image

System lost perhaps?
It seems that the boot image was lost or erased on your phone, at least you still keep the Bootloader right? it's still alive, so there's a way to solve it, yet, this means the procedure may be hard, but you can make it boot again but your files will be erased since flashing a rom by fastboot usually clears all User Data, follow the steps from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/moto-g4-plus-hardbrick-solved-guide-t3657761 but Skip the Blank Flash files, you won't need them (thankfully) I hope this solve your problem

Since the Link contains the Stock Moto G4/G4 Plus rom, you shouldn't have any problem with the Bootloader being locked or unlocked, so try it out and hopefully it will make Android boot once again

As the message says, it can't find a bootlogo. (usually logo.bin). If you've got a locked bootloader, you must have all key partitions, including logo.bin on the same patch level (and as such you may have to flash all partitions).
Which firmware did you try to flash and what flashing commands did you use, and can you show us the outputs of said commands?

Hey guy,
My phone was running the rom "UL-ASUS_X00QD-ASUS-AOSP-17.0615.2005.25-1.1.1-user.zip" (downloaded from Asus Web). I tried to install the TWRP ver 3.3.1 unofficial and my phone was stuck on the fastboot mode only.
After a lot of searching on how to fix the issue, I didn't change anything and almost gave up, until I've read this thread.
My Asus Zenfone 8 flip is STUCK in CSC FASTBOOT MODE PLZ HELP!, RAW FIRMWARE ANYONE???
These are what I did to get the phone into the recovery mode:
1. Extract the rom zip file that my phone was running on.
2. Copy the file boot.img to adb folder.
3. On PC, at adb folder enter CMD, connect the phone then type
fastboot -w
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot recovery
4. After that, my phone can be booted into the recovery mode.
Hope you can solve the same problem as me.
Bye bye ...

Lenono TB-X606F to TB-X606FA

Hello, Having a Lenovo TB-X606F tablet, I purchased a Lenovo Smart Dock, but cannot get it to work with this tablet. Is it possible to flash the tablet in TB-X606FA so that the dock are finally recognized? I installed the Amazon Alexa apk - Show mode and Lenovo Smart Dock Firmware Updater but nothing recognized
Thank you

There are probably missing kernel drivers ?
You could try loading the X606FA ROM using LMSA. Use the off-line rescue option.
No guarantees it will work. It's an experiment, so it might brick your device. If it fails, LMSA might be able to restore the X606F ROM.
Hello, with LMSA I could flash with firmware TB-X606FA_S300269_210602_BMP for example? the 2 tablets are identical in terms of hardware I do not see why this would brick I can not find how to do it in LMSA it suggests that the firmware TB-X606F_S300320_210716_BMP Thank you

Have you unlocked your bootloader? To flash in fastboot, you have to unlock your bootloader first. If you didn't allow that in Settings before you started, then you'll need to reload your old ROM to do it.
The simplest thing to do is to rescue your tablet using LMSA. Make sure you are using the "manual selection" mode. Select you original tablet designation (TB-X606F). When Android boots:
enable developer settings
allow OEM unlock and USB debugging
unlock the bootloader
make sure you can load twrp (which tests that fastboot is working)
make sure adb is working in twrp (adb shell)
do a backup
Then you can start your experiment again.

I managed to recover the tablet with the stock rom and with LSMA, it detected the fastboot and restored the rom. On the other hand my smart dock remains incompatible with my tablet just because of a software, really bad on the part of lenovo! I try with LSMA in manual the FA model to see, I hope that it will not crash!
