Mi A2 bootloop: something missing?

Hi, I am trying to revive a Mi A2 from a bootloop state (the coloured thin stripe circling endlessly through the middle of the white screen). Fastboot and Recovery are accessible and the bootloader shows as "unlocked". I bought the phone in this state, hoping to make it work.

Following your instructions above, I used MiFlash to install the latest official firmware - "jasmine_global_images_V11.0.15.0.QDIMIXM_10.0" and after about 300 seconds it finished with "Success" but the phone remained black, without restarting. After restarting it manually, nothing seems to have changed, the bootloop issue remaining the same.

In recovery mode, it shows this:

"xiaomi/jasmine/jasmine_sprout

9/PKQ1 . 180904 . 001/V10 . 0 . 9 . 0 . PDIMIXM"

In Fastboot I get the following information:

I don't understand all this info and would appreciate any help on this, thank you. I try to get an overall understanding of this Android "kitchen" but it's still confusing.
