Hi,
Today's morning my Mi 11 Ultra decided to brick itself(?) and now I can't turn it on, and the phone is stuck in a boot loop.
This case is hard to identify for me as this happened during watching YouTube (no updates, no interference in system files, nothing). I was just using my phone as usual, and it randomly turned itself off. Now I have no option to do anything. In a boot loop, there are no signs of loading the system or anything. It stays on the Mi logo for quite a while and then restarts itself.
What I tried so far:
Fastboot is working and doesn't crash the phone. The phone is recognized as "Android" under the Fastboot mode
TWRP is a hit or miss. Sometimes it crashes immediately, which means on the TWRP logo, sometimes it crashes during encrypting, and sometimes it lets me get in. Once I am in the TWRP the phone won't crash - I can stay there as long as I wish.
Now what I tried in TWRP:
Dalvik/Cache wipe works, but it doesn't change anything.
The data wipe doesn't work and crashes the phone immediately after running it.
Installing the image doesn't work and crashes the phone immediately after running it.
The backup doesn't work and crashes the phone immediately after running it
TWRP sees all the files on the phone and the correct size of the partition.
PC sees all the files on the phone while in TWRP, and I can copy or modify them without any problems.
I was running MIUI 13.0.13 stable since August 2022 without any problems. Since then I didn't do anything regarding the system/TWRP/whatever. It just happened randomly during daily usage. If this will help at all: the battery during the crash was at 97%, now it's at 100.
Every single time, no matter if it's on the Mi logo, in TWRP, or literally anywhere, the moment that when the phone crashes (restarts) whole screen blinks with a glitchy green pattern, for literally a split second. I'll attach the photo.
I saw some suggestions regarding the boot loop that might be worth a try installing the system through Fastboot, but should I do it without the wipe? I don't want to make this worse than it is right now.
Please, if anyone has any idea what could happen, or what can I do I will be really grateful.
Thank you.
