Hello, I have a problem, let me tell you:
I have been trying to install the Pixel Experience ROM on my Redmi 8A, I installed TWRP and downloaded the ROM, however (after deleting the partitions) when trying to install the ROM I got error 255, so I was looking for the cause may have been my version of TWRP, so I decided to reinstall it.

So, I rebooted the phone and went into Fastboot mode and changed the TWRP version, however here comes the problem, I can no longer access the TWRP and got stuck in the Fastboot screen, is this happening because the phone no longer has an operating system? If so, is there anything I can do?
 
Is your phone response in Fastboot:
- if you connect it to a PC, is your phone correctly identified into the Device Manager (Windows only)?
- what is displayed on CMD (Command Prompt terminal) if you type below command:
Code:
fastboot devices

If your phone is responding to fastboot commands, then you can flash back a stock rom to your phone.
Make sure that you really have a Redmi 8A (olivelite) device to not brick your phone harder!
