I softbricked my Xiaomi Mi 9T, which I have bootloops with. I can't get twrp.img to boot, nor install any kind of ROM with fastboot but i can get into fastboot mode of course. Would these fastboot commands like in this guide from the OP6 also work for my Mi 9T device? If so, do I need the same commands but with the img files of a MI 9T ROM? I'm no developper, but thogut maybe it works the same.

Thanks in advance!

Can you help me ?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] albertpare:
hi please help. i tried following the manual boot, fastboot and adb sideload went okay, but when i try to reboot manually it just reboots to stock oneplus recovery. using the OB17 zip in the link given. thanks!

EDIT: fixed it using msmtool
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] metafizik:
Hi mauronofrio, I notice the OP was from back in May 2018.

Should this process work with the PIE update 9.0.7-OnePlus6Oxygen_22_OTA_032_all_1906251226_0cc8161fff-FASTBOOT.zip on your Android File Host share?

Anyway I downladed that, unziped and created a Linux script to run all of the commands in the first manual step and they all completed successfully. I then ran fastboot flash persist persist.img successfully and then fastboot boot TWRP.img. I was finally able to get in TWRP and modified flash-all-partitions-recovery-criticals.bat to a Linux shell script. It ran successfully. Unfortunately I still get Your device is corrupt when I try to restart the system.

For some background I had a working rooted OP6 with unlocked bootloader. I had a annoying problem where the wallpaper changed by itself several times daily. I tried everything I could find on the net to fix the wallpaper problem with no success so I decided to restore a TWRP backup from just after I configured the device several months ago. The TWRP restore bricked the device. After using TWRP for nearly 10 years this is the first time I have ever had a restore fail much less brick the device. I'll try to figure out what went wrong with TWRP later. Now I just need to get my device working again.

Do you have any suggestions as to what I should try next?

Thank you for your dedication and hard work.

Regards,

~metafizik

Use the msmtool for OnePlus 6. U need a Windows pc running on test mode and OnePlus 6 qualcom driver.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] metafizik:
Thank you. I found that and was able to get my OP6 back operational. Now I need to figure out what went wrong to cause the TWRP restore to brick my phone. I've done 100's of those in the past without a problem.

Regards,

~metafizik
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] albertpare:
I think it's because of the way the internal storage works. There's partition A and B and don't think twrp backup handles the partitions well thus causing it to brick. I'm not sure too cus I had the same problem, mayb those who know more can correct me on this
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] lazye53:
I unlocked a boot loader and I'm using 9.0.8. Would it be a problem for me to use fastboot.9.8?

Sorry for the first time I use the oneplus device noob about it.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheYellingMute:
ok so it sounds like the way to update and keeping twrp+root has changed? i just need some clarification.

when i do this i need to make sure after i use the bat file to hold power+volumedown to go into recovery, which should still have twrp in it? then from there reflash magisk.

then from this point on we can just use the official ota updates but need to remember to boot to recovery immediately to reflash magisk in order to keep root?

and this complete memory wipe is only for this first time setup basically?

[MENTION=4712355]mauronofrio[/MENTION], very useful tool, I've been using it since I got my op6. Could you please update the google drive folder, thank you!

I have some problems to do that, if have problems to download the rom with afh try to use a download manager like jdownloader
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] retnikt:
When I used this the first time it worked fine, but then my LineageOS install borked again (corrupt download, it turns out) and it doesn't work any more. After I run flash-all.bat it reboots to a blank screen. (OP6)
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] DragonsFedora:
Forgive me, but I've never heard of 'fastboot' ROMS before. What are they exactly? When I get my new OP6 with everything stock, should I still unlock/root and put in custom recovery to install ROMs? Or is this some kind of newer method of installing custom ROMs.

If you can provide some insight, I would be very grateful.

You just saved my phone. Bricked it and nothing was working. Then I stumbled upon this post. Thanks so much man. Saviour...!
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] veryNoobDude:
So I was trying to update my OP6 to OOS 9.0.8.

I downloaded the full OTA and booted into TWRP, flashed the new update img, and forgot to flash TWRP and rebooted to system. No worries, I went to fastboot and installed TWRP via adb. All was good until this point. But after I flashed Magisk zip in one slot B, slot A files all appear gibberish.

I don't know how to proceed. The device proceeds to boot on slot B all fine, latest OOS, and rooted. But booting to slot A always loops to TWRP. Opening File Manager on Slot A is a mess, all files on SD Card are gibberish.

I tried reflashing TWRP, but to no use.

So now, can I do something like a reset on Slot A, so that I can preserve all my data? Or do I have to flash a system ROM on both sides by the method mentioned on Page One and thereby losing all data?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] mauronofrio:
You need of only 1 slot, leave the other unbootable
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] veryNoobDude:
Well first, thanks for a very quick reply.

Second, wouldn't this mean that all future updates need to be done on the second slot only? So I will not have a fall-back area in this case. Is it suggested?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] mixlex:
When you update, you will be updating system to the other slot. Once the system marks the other slot bootable, it will boot to it on next reboot and the original slot will most likely be unbootable after that. You should not manually switch slots. It is not a dual boot system. You will not have a fallback area, only if the update is deemed unbootable.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] veryNoobDude:
Oh okay, I get it. But for my next update, I need to manually update it in the second slot right? Or just allow system update and it will take care of the first slot?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] mixlex:
Just update, system does all that. If you start doing things manually like that, you will get into trouble.

Just don't forget to keep TWRP and magisk, they are not permanent in a/b type setup like we have.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Simoyd:
I'm trying to figure out if I should try this fastboot flash thing or not.

I have a OnePlus6.

When trying to boot my phone, it (most of the time) stops at a screen that says:

QUALCOMM CrashDump Mode
--------------------------
Fatal exceptioncntvct_read_handler

after rebooting the phone a dozen or more times, I got a different error saying:

<!>

Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and may not work properly
Visit this link on another device:
g.co/ABH

PRESS POWER KEY TO CONTINUE

I am still able to get into the stock recovery and fastboot, but nothing more.

I've never modified the OS software on this phone. Just stock and I've keeping up to date. After the issue I did power+volume down and wiped the cache and reset system setting but that didn't help.

The night before the failure I checked my weather app and set the phone on my night stand. I plugged it in and it beeped (normal) then I turned the switch to silent. In the morning the first error above was on the screen.

Right now I'm thinking I'm just unlucky with some part of the storage that became corrupted. Would this fastboot flash help this issue? Should I be contacting OnePlus support instead (I have no warranty. I bought the phone outright when it was released)? Since my device is locked, is there any possible way for me to keep my data (other than 200 bucks for a data recovery service to tear it apart)?

Thank you in advance for any reply.

Hello, i'm trying to install 9.0.8 OOS but with no luck. Can't even open recovery or boot into TWRP. Flashing this package does nothing and i'm worrying that i'll have to send phone to OP Support. Does anybody know what else could i try to unbrick this phone?

edit: managed to unbrick my phone (thanks to msmtool) but flashing 9.0.8 using flash-all.bat basicly bricks my phone.

As is written in the first post these roms can't be used to update or downgrade your device, but just to restore it

If I return to stock by using this, I can't boot TWRP. "fastboot boot TWRP.img" only results in "FAILED: remote unknown command". Only after flashing OOS 9.0.8 full OTA in system update twice solve this issue.

Hi guys.

Also, I have tried another fastboot rom, the last pie, but keep getting the same error. Could be an issue related to an windows 10 update? Any ideas? Thx!

After I flashed the A10 rom I am now missing certain standard Unicode characters, which now appear as vertical rectangles with an "X" inside. This is especially noticeable in Google maps, where for instance the map of India has all the Sanskrit place names replaced by these boxes. The names appear correctly on my other devices.

Ordinarily I would try to solve this by dirty flashing a stock rom but until OP updates A10 I don't have one available. Am I thinking about this correctly? Is there something else I should do?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] cassierole:
I have a OnePlus 6. I was trying to return to the stock rom from using LineageOS nightly. I am using Linux. I followed the manual flashing guide command by command, except sometimes "fastboot flash" would hang and I restarted the bootloader to let it complete. After completing the first section, I ran "fastboot flash persist persist.img", and then tried to reboot the phone. I got an error: "Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and may not work properly". After pressing the power button twice, the phone reboots into the same screen. I tried to go to the OnePlus recovery that was just flashed and tried to reset the phone using the three options there. It still would not boot. Trying to use "fastboot boot TWRP.img" wouldn't work either, since it would reboot into the same error. I think my phone is bricked, but I'm really not sure how it's bricked. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Edit: running flash-all.bat on Windows fixed the phone.
