Boot Loop :-(

[jimbobbly]

Can anybody help fix my redmi pro?

Was using xiaomi.eu weekly version with no problems, but phone without warning entered a boot loop and I can't fix it.

- can enter fastboot using power + vol.down
- can upload twrp.img, but phone won't boot it (goes into boot loop)
- have tried using SP Flash tool to flash china developer and stable official roms
- SP appears to flash successfully (using a custom cust.img), but goes into boot loop again

Is there anything else I can try?

Thanks

Maybe you should try fastboot rom

Thanks Nxkealen,

I have tried with both the fastboot roms (stable and developer) which can be downloaded from the official site.

I can flash either of them using SP Flash tool (with a different cust.img) or MiFlash, but still get stuck in a boot loop.

I can unlock the bootloader (check with fastboot getvar), and upload a twrp.img, but nothing boots! All I see is the 'mi' logo for several seconds, then the phone vibrates and reboots into an infinite loop.

Maybe you should try fastboot rom

@jimbobbly were you able to fix this? My phone did the same yesterday out of the blue and is now stuck on the MI logo.

No, I tried many times, but could never get away from the Mi logo. In the end I sent it back to the online shop where I bought it from, and they have apparently sent it back to Xiaomi.

That is bad. I honestly don't care if the phone never works again, but I am desperate to get my photos and videos off it. I was stupid enough to capture my little one's videos with the phone and not backing them up. But then who would have thought that their phone would never reboot after being switched off on a flight. Did you have any luck getting data from the phone? If yes, can you share how you did it? Thanks.

I tried 'flashing root', but it always went back to the same boot loop.

I could get access through fastboot, but I don't think that's enough to extract data. Fortunately I didn't have anything important on it, but from now on I will use an sd card.

My phone is currently with xiaomi - waiting to hear whether they can fix it or not. (and how much they will charge for it).

Hi everyone, I have the same problem for months and tried the same solutions, nothing can do.

At the begening I've been able to boot (sometimes !!) but i had crashes. Now I can go sometime to the loading page for 5 or 10 seconds then the phone reboot...

I know that i've lost the IMEI numbers... I've tried to fix it beacause I though the program is crashing at the IMEI loading (???) but I've not been able to do it with some tutorials...

I'm despited, I loved my Redmi, it's a very good smartphone but I think i'll never fix it...

After flashing in Sp Flash tools, i opened my phone, disconnected battery and side buttons (+,-, power button). Then reconnected flat cables for battery and side buttons. Turn on the phone, and its booted in system

@Alastor1111Good idea, i've Just tried and i was near to boot, the loading screen is active a few time. But i still have crash before the full loading.

Now the strange thing is that I can start booting only when charger is plugged, when unpluggeg i have the logo then crash. I'm asking to myself if i would have a battry or voltage issu and how to solve it...

If you can open your phone, try to check contact on battery, change battery, check charging port if it's lose contact. Flash only preloader first, then flash all files from scatter file.txt.
