Question Is there any salvation from this?

[HBMHD]

Hello guys, I created this account because I think I have bricked my Poco F3 badly, but you guys may know how to recover from this:

How did I get here:

This is the first time I try to install a custom rom on any Android phone, nevertheless I followed tutorials step by step on how to unlock the device (I waited 136 hours as instructed) and then I was able to install TWRP first to RAM, and then as a recovery tool as stated in the tutorial I followed. I tried installing LineageOS following this tutorial (in Spanish) but it got seemingly stuck at "step 2/2" stating: "to flash additional zips please reboot recovery", so then I rebooted but this is where things spiraled out of control... After rebooting I was greeted by LineageOS boot logo animation, but it didn't do boot even after 10 minutes, so then I attempted to reboot in recovery by pressing Vol Up+Power, but was greeted by a Recovery tool by LineageOS instead of TWRP, which didn't let me do anything, so then I though "maybe I should do a factory reset and start all over", after which the whole thing wiped.

Now when rebooting it always takes me to LineageOS recovery tool, but now my PC won't recognize the device as storage, it just recognizes it as "Android Bootloader Interface", but CMD doesn't recognize it anymore...

Any idea how to fix this mess? I'm kinda desperate at this point

donwload sdk platform tools
extract it
in file explorer url type cmd it will show cmd
hold power and volume down to your phone to boot it into fastboot
connect phone to pc
type in the opened cmd, fastboot devices
if your devices showed in cmd we can repair it back

try also downloading xiaomi flash tool latest and open the software click drivers on the upper right corner install all 5 drivers and try connecting your phone see if its detected on your device manager

Thank you for your quick response, cmd finally detected my phone, I got Mi Flash Tool but it got me a weird message in after installing drivers:

(hopefully it means it was successful) and it detects it as well!

Edit: Not sure what to do next, monkey brain tells me I should probably try installing TWRP again and see if it detects it as storage to try again and install LineageOS? Unless I can do that with Mi Flash Tool instead

go flash your stock rom before installing and perfecting your custom recovery and roms take note: before flashing stock rom tick clean flash dont flash it if its clean flash and relock bootloader

 

[khazzey]

disregard my stock rom my phone is global variant choose your designated variant to flash

Mine is too, I'm downloading it right now, will take a while.

This may be a silly question and idk if you know the answer of, but will my phone keep charging even if it's in Fastboot mode? It has been on for a few hours since attempting to fix and I don't want it to die in the middle of installing the stock rom, the damn thing won't turn off, every time I hold the power button it just turns on again into that LineageOS recovery tool

it will definitely charge like the speed of micro usb like 2.0 amperes in fastboot only it charges too slow but it will keep your phone still alive dont worry after you flashed stock rom it will go back normal 33W

before i forgot you cant flash your stock rom, you need to install notepad ++ edit the extracted rom batch file clean flash all bat remove the first script, stop the editing for the first fastboot word you read to avoid anti rollback protection of xiaomi

I'm waiting for my file to download again to check that batch file... What I downloaded was "miui_ALIOTHGlobal_V12.5.4.0.RKHMIXM_76076865ce_11.0.zip" which I think it's a file meant for TWRP as it says "Recovery" and not Fastboot (which I didn't know was strictly different), I'm downloading the Fastboot version from here that has the same name as yours now, and then I'll see if I can figure out how to remove a script from a batch file; I was so not prepared for this, but I'm learning slowly lol.

Thank you for the explanations and warnings, I'll keep you and possible readers posted.

Finally, that took a while; I see the "flash_all.bat" file after extracting.

Sorry I got a bit lost there, what do I edit in Notepad++? Do I remove something or do I copy the first line and move it?

This is what's inside the batch file:
