Xiaomi Redmi Note 9S boot loop

Hi, I have had a lot of Redmi phones but never experienced the following before:
  • I bought a Xiaomi Redmi Note 9S
  • did wait for a week and then unlocked the bootloader
  • flashed OrangeFox recovery miatoll beta R11.0.1 via fastboot
  • formatted Data
  • flashed the OrangeFox zip via OrangeFox itself again
  • flashed xiaomi.eu_multi_HMNote9Pro_HMNote9S_V12.0.1.0.QJWMIXM_v12-10
The result: a boot loop with a 7 second loop, so I can use fastboot

So I tried to boot to recovery via fastboot (tried it with OrangeFox, twrp-3.4.0-14-curtana-unified-mauronofrio and recovery-redmi_note9s-3.4.1-10.0-b5) The reult was either a freeze or the same bootloop again

Also tried to flash curtana_global_images_V12.0.1.0.QJWMIXM_20201022.0000.00_10.0_global_12c3121f15 with the XiaoMiFlash tool, but the result was the same bootloop again.

I searched the web, but could not find situations like this. Normally one flashes the original rom and starts over again.

Has anyone an idea what went wrong and a suggestion to fix it?

Thanks for your reply. The problem is that I can't get in recovery. And flashing the original fastboot image does not help either.
 
Finaly managed to get the phone working again. Flashing MIUI fastboot image curtana_eea_global_images_V12.0.2.0.QJWEUXM_20201107.0000.00_10.0_eea_3e1cb3eed7.tgz worked, while curtana_global_images_V12.0.1.0.QJWMIXM_20201022.0000.00_10.0_global_12c3121f15.tgz did not.

Both QJW images, so both should work in my opinion!
