Hello community, first of all I clarify that I am using the google translator.

As the title says, my poco f3 has a hard brick, I was trying to flash the miui global rom via fastboot(stock rom was global miui for turkey) but an error occurred in the process (the same as attached in the image), at that moment I got scared because the phone did not start the system.

The bootloader was obviously unlocked, I tried to recover with XiaoMitool but nothing, I couldn't flash super.img either in Xiaomiflash, then I decided to download its stock rom and redo the process but it failed.

Before all this I had tried to install TWRP or OrangeFox but none could be installed, I only got to the TWRP boot but the option to flash the current TWRP did not appear and it did not recognize the internal memory and the OTG with the zip. Right now it only shows the POCO logo and goes directly to fastboot mode.

I'd appreciate your help.

Edit: It does not have the recovery stock

try booting twrp via fastboot and then format data.
Obviously you'll lose your data, but it might give you access to your phone back.

Good morning.

Try to enter with quiet fastboot mode, both in twrp and orange fox, it's the same process. Put the phone in fastboot mode and then open minimal adb.

1. Put the fastboot devices command, the serial number of your mobile should appear on the command screen.

2. Put the command fastboot boot orangefox.img or twrp.img, take a good look at the file you have downloaded, to make the boot easy, it has to be an .img image and not a zip file.

3. If you can get into both fastboot and orangefox, please format the data.

4. Try to flash the miui stock rom with the same process where the error appeared, remember that this rom (it worked for me) has to be the rom for the poco f3 fastboot, since there are 2 versions (I think I have seen this) one which is fastboot and another which is not.

LUCK!

Hello, i had already tried to boot with twrp.img but without success, the good news is that I have already recovered it and the solution was as simple as taking the flash_all.bat from the rom and it could already be in any version of miui.

What I don't understand is why it hadn't worked with XiaoMitool and Xiaomiflash, and I still can't install TWRP because it doesn't recognize internal memory and OTG.

Anyway thanks for your help.

Glad you got it sorted, When installing a MIUI stock rom remember to put the Firm wear folder on your C: Drive and remove any spaces from title,

As for TWRP & Orangefox recoverry, i installed these in fast boot mode and use "Temporary Recovery" by downloading RUN_TWRP-Orange Fox FIXED.bat /unzipping/ and running the "RUN_TWRP-Orange Fox FIXED.bat File, once in temporary OF Recovery you can choose to make OF Recovery permanent by installing current version of OF from within OF, Check my post on the EVO-X Thread post 20,

you will also find my post regarding OTG issues,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
OTG is no longer Now working with Orangefox recovery.

To overcome the OTG showing 0MB or .., remove the OTG adaptor,
reboot into OF Recovery, re-connect your OTG adaptor and
tap ☰ in the bottom right of the main screen to open the MENU,
open Mount, tap USB-STORAGE (wait 5 seconds) the (USB-STORAGE background will turn black), shortly after the check box will enabled, many thanks to Rafsf for the Workaround.

I hope this helps a bit:unsure:
