Bootloop and locked bootloader - Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers

Hello guys, I have a problem. I updated my Mi A1 and now I am in bootloop. I can't use MiFlash because I have locked bootloader.
I have tried fastboot oem edl, adb sideload in recovery but it didnt help. Any solution?

bad luck !! Test point method is the only way ? i faced the same situation ... please don't go to the service centre , they will tell you that the motherboard of your device needs a change .. and ask for a big amount of money if your phone is out of warranty ..!! search for the test point method here .. follow the video , and then follow the steps to go back to stock oreo from pie .. that's the only way ??

Same problem happened with me
My internal storage gets full and mobile automatically got switched off and bootloop
I tried to flash my self with adb command fastboot oem unlock
And successfully unlocked the bootloader & flashing process started but it keep flashing for long time whole night
So i decided to go near shop and gave him he tried with EDL test point and then phone goes in black screen He gave up :crying:
Now I'm thinking to go mi service centre but i get to know their ans is to change motherboard

What did u update? Stock rom? When did you buy the device? Can you get into fastboot? Can you get into recovery?

i just flashed the device for my wife with stock fastboot and locked the bootloader and of course it ends in bootloop.
i removed sim and micro sd and it boots up.

You messed up because from stock Pie onwards, Xiaomi has implemented ARB which will bootloop your phone if you downgrade your rom.

Hi! Does testpoint method works here?

I'll try with a home made EDL cable, if this does not work I'll have to drive to the office for tools and try the test point. I'll update, but if anyone knows if this or that works and see this post on time, let me know!

UPDATE:
- EDL cable didn't work.
- Test point method worked fine, I thought that opening this phone would be harder, search for dissasembly tutorials on youtube and for test point method, the brick got back to life and it's fully working!

Can't unlock bootloader, can't finish OS setup

So I upgraded to Nougat on my P9 Lite, unlocked boot loader, used twrp, flashed roms and everything went smooth. Saw a more up-to-date version with no bugs, so I had to downgrade to MM first.
I followed a guide, but I messed up somewhere and ended up having my bootloader locked, and I can't access the OS to enable developer options and oem unlock from settings. The reason why I can't access the OS is that I am stuck in the setup. I am stuck at the part where I have to sign in to my google account. It doesn't show a keyboard, only a microphone, and I can't use that for my password (it won't let me).
Any ideas?
TL;DR messed up during downgrading from Nougat to MM, now TWLR is gone, bootloader is locked and my main issue is that when I get to the google account sign in part during OS setup, there is no keyboard (I can only use dictation) so I can't sign in... So I'm stuck
Also, can I unlock bootloader without access to OS, without being able to navigate to settings, enable developer options and then oem unlock?
1. Stuck in OS setup? Signing in to Google? Hey, it's not obligatory, can't you just skip it?
2. Flashing ROMS locked your bootloader, it's normal, but I'm sure it didn't change the "oem unlock" setting you had surely enabled before. Go to fastboot mode and check Bootloader and FRP status on the bottom of the screen. If FRP is unlocked, you will be able to unlock bootloader again.
3. If you have your TWRP gone (flashed by stock ROM), flash the recovery partition manually - fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img (download from Meticulus Project site).

It is obligatory, I couldn't skip it. I tried to use other methods of signing in, but then it asked me to reset password at the end.
Both Phone and FRP are locked
I think I have missed this, but I can't do it via fastboot because I keep getting "Command not allowed" whenever I try to unlock bootloader or do anything via fast boot.
Also, thank you so much for your time and input. It is much appreciated.
That's weird, I flashed my phone several times with different ROMS (not Nougat) and this setting (oem unlock / FRP unlocked) stayed enabled. Don't know where it sits then and how to change it without getting inside OS. But - what about TWRP? Oh right, you won't be able to flash it without unlocked bootloader... Oh, crap. I would try SRK Tool for Huawei to play with bootloader, it uses fastboot so shouldn't help, but maybe, just maybe? Maybe try flashing whole ROMs through dload folder on SD? Stock 120, 161, Nougat, I would try these. I hope there is some way to unlock FRP, probably it's possible in DC-unlocker (it's a paid software).

Yes, it's very weird. I haven't done the process a lot. But I've flashed a couple of phones I had before, went smooth. Nothing major like this happened before.
I will consider the SRK Tool and I did not know about the DC-Unlocker tool, thank you for telling me about it.
Flashing whole roms through dload folder only works with Nougat for some reason, and I keep getting stuck in the signing in problem because of no keyboard, someone told me that's incomplete software, I'm hoping that's the case, any ideas where can I get it from?
Again thank you Jagiel88 for your time and advice xD
No problem, unfortunately I haven't tried Nougat yet, so search for help on down/upgrade Nougat beta <-> Marshmallow threads .

Help! Nexus 6p is boot looped !

I`ve decided to return to stock and I wish I didn`t!
After flashing the files for the latest stock image , I was unable to pass the boot animation.
That was six hours ago.
I tried to reinstall another full image from google website.
I did and then my computer doesn`t recognize my device on adb mode.
Tried to update the drivers via Android Studio and through the usb drivers folder , it gives an error of not being able to download the update because of disabling the automatic windows update even though I did.
Help, people what can I do?
Should I just get a new phone?
It`s a very tough option for me right now due to some financial issues.

Hi... Explain how exactly you flashed your phone. Fastboot? Adb sideload?
What was your android version prior to your problem.
What version did you try to flash? Did you use the flash all.bat/sh? Or flashed each image manually?
Are you stuck in bootloader? Can you still access recovery? Or does it bootloop when trying to reboot into recovery?

No, unlocking the bootloader may make the difference in being able to recover your phone. Did you also enable USB debugging in Developer Options when you unlocked your bootloader? Was ADB working before and now has stopped working? I would first focus on getting ADB/fastboot binaries (and USB drivers) set up and working properly on your PC.

I flashed the latest version of Android 7.1.1 with March update
I flashed each image manaually
Not stuck on boot loader but stuck on the animation of booting without accessing anything on the phone so it`s a bootloop.
I flashed stock all and unlocked the bootloader afterwards....... Trying to unlock it now with no hope of how to unlock it and flash anything and save myself from this problem!

No you just need fastboot working to unlock (this is assuming you already had it unlocked before)... but again this depends on you having your PC set up correctly.
fastboot flashing unlock - try that and see if it finishes successfully or not.
Edit: That and try to answer @5.1 's questions

I unlocked it before but now did a full recovery to Stock and locked the bootloader.
I need to access the usb debugging option before I can type in that command in the CMD
My PC is set up correctly .
My only problem is that I don`t have access to my phone in order to enable that option and don`t know how to unlock the bootloader with any other way.
That is all

Fastboot
What was your android version prior to your problem.
7.1.1
What version did you try to flash? Did you use the flash all.bat/sh? Or flashed each image manually?
The same version again after flashing a pure nexus rom , flashed each image manually
Are you stuck in bootloader? Can you still access recovery? Or does it bootloop when trying to reboot into recovery?
not stuck on bootloader , still have access to the recovery mode (stock one not TWRP) it bootloops only when I try to turn on the phone.

What version are you on? 7.1.1?
Try sideloading the beta 7.1.2 ota. You can find it on the N6P general section I think.
I'm not saying it will solve your problem. If factory reset didn't fix your bootloop, I don't know what else to do... Good luck!

Huawei P10 Lite - Bricked Device

Hello everyone.
I Have Huawei P10 Lite WAS-LX1A and I accidentally bricked my device.
I was using TWRP to install a rom, and I wipped my system but the rom couldn't be installed for some reason. So I thought my TWRP Version had a problem, so I tried with bootloader to istall a new TWRP.
In adb I pressed:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP_by_GreatSlon.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and then
fastboot flash recovery custom_boot_decryptdata_b130
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But now, it doesn't load TWRP at all when I press vulume up + power button. I am stuck with out TWRP and with out an OS.
And I can't enter bootloader to install a new TWRP. Is there anything I can do?
I do have a laptop and an SD Card and my Bootloader is unlocked. Phone Unlocked and FRP Unlock are red, so maybe there is a way to save my phone please? I need help please . Sorry if I am not explaining very good and if I don't write correctly, I'ts because I am very very sad . Please someone tell me there is a way to fix it. Maybe dload? But I cannot find any file that it fits.. Thanks in advance.
I found this youtu.be/pkWSDlrLmns and I intalled a new TWRP. But I still cannot find any ROM to install. Any help please?

you flashed twrp in recovery partition and after that, you flashed "custom_boot_decryptdata" also in recovery partition. so, twrp was overwritten. that's the reason why it doesn't work now. are you able to enter fastboot? (VOL- & power button)?
are you on emui5 or emui8?
if you can enter fastboot mode, flash twrp again.
Bricked P10 lite
My huawei p10 lite completely dead after mistakenly doing a wipeall from twrp. Now the screen doeant turn on , no logo, no vibrations, nothing. But the computer detects something(still no reaponse on phone) and when i typed fastboot devices in minimal adb it shows the list and the phone is listed in it. Please help.

Try to flash all partitions from a service rom.
I have the Same Problem. Only dark screen with fastboot connection.
(Sorry for the very late reply) I could enter fastboot using a pc, and then flashed a different twrp and costum rom.
Everything was okay. But, lately my rom started having network problems and I decided to flash an another rom..
But when I did, something wrong happened and now I am without twrp, without rom and with phone and frp locked.
My destiny is to brick my device and go to imposimple position, isn't it? I don't have my unlocked code so I cannot unlock my bootloader. I paid and tried dc unlocker to unlock my phone, but after plug-unplug it stopped being unlocked again and my money for dc unlocker gone for nothing and I am not willing to pay again for something like that. Any ideas to unlock my phone?
I sent an email and message to Huawei to see if they can give me the code, but idk if they will do. Any suggestions?
This post can be locked. This thread continues here. As for the Huawei, they respond that they don't give the unlock code anymore..

How to lock bootloader on latest stock oreo (A2017G)?

I am attempting to return my Axon 7 A2017G to complete stock so that I can use the warranty. I used the EDL tool to return to latest stock oreo, but it seems that there is no way to access fastboot/bootloader on this update. I've found many guides for other models or older versions on how to get fastboot but none of them seem to be specific to my model and I am not than keen on bricking my device again. Could anyone help me out on what process I should go through to be able to lock my bootloader?
This is the EDL package I flashed: A2017G_B03_OREO_FULL_EDL

I'm not even sure if you can lock the bootloader in stock+ Oreo, but it should be possible. What you can do is go back to MM (MM B10 should be fine), then use a fastboot package for MiFlash (such as A2017U_FASTBOOT_UNLOCK_EDL, it works even though you have a G) or maybe check if EDL Tool has an option to install fastboot, i don't remember.
The other way around it is not locking it and just using a modified bootloader to conceal the 5 second screen. Good enough for sending the phone with warranty. If you'll sell it you might be able to sell it for more if the bootloader is unlocked

Thanks I checked the Axon 7 Toolkit and turns out it does have fastboot unlock as part of the process of unlocking the bootloader. Though it techinically doesn't support Oreo I chose the nougat one and it still did the trick albeit with another hardbrick, once locking the bootloader I had to wait for the battery to drain again before I could get into EDL and flash back to Oreo. Very painful proccess, would not recommend, should have just used your method of going back to marshmallow locking then updating again. Thanks anyway mate, the help was much appreciated.

I never mentioned the axon7toolkit. That one is finicky, I don't recommend it. I was talking about EDL Tool (you might even find it if you google it), it's here in the ROMs, kernels, development section.

you need to flash original stock rom for your device trough edl. (rom your device came from factory,you need B11 marshmallow)
then boot into system,unlock developer options.Allow oem unlock and turn on usb debugging.Now connect phone to laptop and check the dialogue on your phone that ask for usb debug.Unplug phone.
When you did this you want to flash TWRP trough EDL.
Now boot in TWRP and flash UnlockbootloaderPackage from DrakenFX.
Reboot system.
Now turn off your device and boot into fastboot,connect your phone with laptop and open ADB terminal on your laptop or use Axon7toolkit.
In terminal enter fastboot oem lock,or in axon7toolkit choose lock bootloader.
Your bootloader is now locked.
PS: you dont need locked bootloader to recieve ota's,and make sure you are on the firmware your device came shipped with!!
You need a locked bootloader to get rid of the warning message ( dont flash any mod package that claims it delete the warning page)
