Hi All,
I need some help please with (soft?) bricked Note 7 pro. I have the global version and installed e. foundation ROM which is a fork of LineageOS. This was working well until I loaded the latest version last week. Now the phone seems to be softbricked.

I can get into fastboot. I have downloaded TWRP violet and when I run "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.0-0-violet.img" I get:

target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (65536 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.723s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.370s]
finished. total time: 2.093s

However when I try to boot into that recovery it wont work. (I just see the "Redmi by Xiaomi" screen with the "unlocked" detail at the bottom.

I also tried to run "fastboot boot twrp-3.3.0-0-violet.img" but that leads to a "system has been destroyed" message.

I downloaded the Mi unlock tool and tried to unlock again, just in case, but that tool reported that the phone is unlocked already.

I should point out that I get the same result with twrp-3.3.1-0-violet.img

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can try next? I am reluctant to remove the back from the phone.
Thanks
