[SOLVED] Bootloop since TWRP installation - Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers

Hi Everyone,
The first thing I did after flashing TWRP on my RN7 was a BackUp with TWRP of all my partitions. (It was the first time i launched it, so i also saved the Miui Recovery).
Then I tried to boot on the system but I get stucked in the "Redmi by Xiaomi" screen.
I tried to install an AOSPExtended Rom but it didn't worked.
I flashed Orange Fox and retrayed to flash AOSPExtended. It didn't worked either because it was designed for violet and not for Lavander (facepalm).
I tried an Unofficial LineageOS found on XDA, the installation worked but I'm stuck in a bootloop since.
The Redmi by Xiaomi screen starts over and over. I can't even turn off my phone.
I tried to reboot after wiping Cache, System, Vendor, Data and Dalvik (just to see if I would be able to turn it off) but same result.
Do you have any Ideas?
Thanks a lot!

Which rom did you have while taking the first backup?
Wipe System, Data, Cache, then reboot the recovery and then restore the backup of System, Data and Boot. Don't restore recovery. See if this works.

Flash a custom ROM with the latest OrangeFox, then format the data partition (Menu->Manage Partitions->Data->Format data->"yes"), then reboot to system.
Do NOT try to restore your TWRP backups.

I finally tried an other Lineage Os Rom from XDA and it finally worked.
But I don't really know why.
The first one I tried to install was in fact a Potato OS... (You can download it from the same page!)
But still, this ROM was for Lavander too, I don't understand why it didn't worked....
Anyway my phone is OK now! Thanks a lot!

What would happen if I tried to restore my Backup?

What would happen is :crying: Returning to MIUI from a custom ROM is a can of worms. There are instructions here: https://wiki.orangefox.tech/en/guides. But even that is not guaranteed to do the job.

Not able to boot on a clean install- i9300 with TWRP 2.8.6.1

Hello,
Trying to install latest PA 'pa_i9300-5.1-20150528.zip' on Galaxy S3 i9300 using TWRP 2.8.6.1.
Zip installs faster, shows no error.
I select the reboot option, it reboots and sits on PA loading logo
I have been using CM12.1 by JustArchi for some time, thought of giving PA a try.
same here, Im also flashing with TWRP2.8.6.1
The pa_i9300-5.1-20150520 version runs well. But the pa_i9300-5.1-20150528 doesnt. It goes directly to TWRP.
wipe, format, factory reset, redownload rom, reflash,.... dont solve.
The same happens when upgrading from Paranoid_OTA app =/
Same here.
But i'm surprised, you say the pa_i9300-5.1-20150520 run well on your I9300 ?
Can you tell me how you managed to make it work ?
I tried a full swipe then install, didn't had any luck, tried differents gapps with no success.
Can you tell me wich Gapps you use please ?
I had tried 'pa_i9300-5.1-20150520.zip' also, it showed the same behavior.
I don't flash gapps on the first go, I boot with just the rom and later reboot into recovery and load all the zips.

I ve just followed a tutorial on the internet.
Boot into TWRP, Format, Wipe Cache/Dalvik/System, Install PA, Install GApps, Wipe Cache/Dalvik, and reboot.
And mine is the 5.1.x mini package from there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/paranoid-android/general/5-1-x-5-0-x-4-4-x-pa-gapps-mirror-t3069879
Unable to BOOT
I did a clean installation of PA 5.1 dated 12/6/15. Gapps did well too. Phone reboots and enters CWM again.. did multiple times but it always jumps to CWM. Any guidance Senior Members.
Pretty sure you have to flash a kernel

Having exactly the same problem. I can only get the original 5.1 ROM from may to work, but none of the updates. Tried formatting system, cache, dalvik and even tried flashing the boot.img inside the zip file. No luck ?.

You need to flash a different kernel. The boot.img that ships with the rom keeps getting bored during the build it would appear.
This is covered extensively in the g+ community

Thank you for the advice. :good:
It worked with Boeffla Kernel 12.1 alpha 3 (but the latest ones did not)
pa_i9300-5.1-20150520.zip works!

pa_i9300-5.1-20150520.zip works indeed after wipe: dalvik, cache, data, system. then format.
when it successfully boots, restart into recovery and make backup of only "boot" to external_sd.
then format again and factory reset, then install latest zip (pa_i9300-5.1-20150704.zip).
before reboot first restore "boot" from backup.

Hold power + Volume down till you get to bootloader screen. From there you can get to recovery, And from there you either flash a backup, transfer a backup from your computer or download another rom and transfer it to your 6p...unless of course you have some files on there you can flash.

Hello...
Did you wipe cache, art/dalvik cache and data (data without internal storage) with TWRP?
I would wipe first before investigating further...
Hoping it will solve your issue!
Good luck...

that did the trick
When that happens to me I go into the bootloader menu as a previous poster suggested but I flash the full factory image I download from the Google site using flash-all.bat command and start over from scratch. Good luck.

Hey,
Nice. Changing ROM or sometimes even same ROM but maybe Android 6.x to 7.x or with major changes can cause issues. Wipe if you switch or if your device doesn't behave as intended.

Going from xXx NoLimits 12.1 to OOS 9.0.4

Hello all,
I have been having issues with upgrading from NoLimits 12.1 to 9.0.4. I know I have to go to 5.1.7 to jump to 9.0.4, but when I try to go back to stock 5.1.4, it keeps rebooting into recovery whenever the phone is booted up. It would get to the NoLimits splash screen and then reboot into recovery.
This is what I try:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78687697&postcount=23
Any combination has the same result (It would get to the NoLimits splash screen and then reboot into recovery). I am at wit's end. No idea what to try anymore. Can anyone help please?
EDIT: I did try NoLimits to 5.1.5/5.1.6/5.1.7 but same as above.

Maybe you did not wipe system, data, cache before flashing 5.1.4, as clean installation so you have the splash screen left?!
Maybe you can describe your personal steps and files you flashed as detailed as possible.

Sorry, I wiped everything and followed what it said in the thread I linked. However, wiping system before flashing the rom just gave an error that no os is installed even though I flashed the 5.1.4 rom afterwards.
Recovery is TWRP 3.2.3-x blu_spark V9.85.
Also, the issue isn't the splash screen but the fact it reboots into recovery after flashing any rom that is not xXx NoLimits.
Even jumping from xXx NoLimits to 9.0.0 after removing the compatibility.zip from the ROM file results in the phone getting to the splash screen and then rebooting into recovery. I don't understand what could be causing this issue. I can't think of anything that would cause such an issue.
EDIT: When I wipe vendor, I get stuck on a black screen after the splash screen.
I solved it. I had to flash blu_spark_r161-oos-pie_op5-op5t_2b876d534.zip after everything.

Ok, never heard of it, but didn't make sense to flash a custom kernel

It was either this or wiping internal storage, cuz those two are the only things that were different this time around.

Device stuck on boot animation.

Hi all,
So I was using Xiaomi.eu ROM and I flashed Android 10 stable gsi. It booted up perfectly fine. But it had some issues so I reverted back to Xiaomi.eu . But when I tried to flash Android 10 gsi by erfan (PE one).
The device got stuck on boot animation. I tried flashing Havoc, Bootleggers, previous GSI. None booted! All stuck on boot animation. But flashing xiaomi.eu works. EVERY other ROM gets stuck on boot animation and when left for a while, device gets heated up!
Any of this happened to you?
Solutions please.
Thanks in advance!

You have not told us whether;
1. You are doing clean flashes or dirty flashes.
2. You formatted data before flashing a different ROM.

Hmmm ... if you formatted data (rather than just wiping), that should deal with most problems. Are you flashing GSIs or full ROMs?

I think, it was a recovery issue. I flashed letsmakecakes' twrp. Every ROM works.

"No OS installed" after successful custom ROM flash

Hey, I'm trying to flash Lineage OS onto my Galaxy A20e (SM-A202F) and after I flash it from an SD card onto the system image partition, it says [IMAGE FLASH COMPLETED]. When I press reboot system from there, it tells me I have no OS installed. Trying to reboot anyway puts me in a bootloop. To get the phone working I need to flash the stock OS on to the phone.
I've tried a few versions of Lineage for the A20e to no avail. I have rooted the phone with Magisk and wiped the system, data, cache, and Dalvik, with the same result every time. I can't seem to find this problem mentioned anywhere else.
I've been at this for days and would appreciate any suggestions, cheers.
