Mi 4C just boots to recovery, no matter what I flash

[Master_T]

Hi everyone

I've bought a second hand Mi 4C. The original owner had installed TWRP and LineageOS on the device.

I wanted to go back to MIUI, so I used the existing TWRP to do the usual wipes and then flash:

xiaomi.eu_multi_MI4c_V8.1.3.0.LXKCNDI_v8-5.1.zip

The ROM seems to flash correctly, however after I reboot the device it just boots back into TWRP. Basically, there's no way to boot the device "normally", it always boots to recovery!

Thinking maybe the rom was at fault, I wiped again and flashed the latest LineageOS, since I knew that was working before.
However, I then discovered that even with LineageOS the problem remained: device always starts in recovery mode!!!

How can I solve this? I'm new to Xiaomi devices, so maybe I'm missing something. I've always had Nexus phones and I've never seen a problem like this in years of flashing custom roms.

I would point torwards locked bootloader.

Maybe the volume button is stuck?

Try to go in fastboot mode and execute this:

 fastboot oem device-info

If "device unlocked: False " you have to unlock bootloader or follow this guide http://en.miui.com/thread-335614-1-1.html

Hi? Did you solve this problem? My phone also keeps booting in TWRP. What i did was, get to Fastboot and typed "fastboot continue" .

Got the same. Bootloader unlocked.

i have the same issue.
I had TWRP 3.0.3-0 with the Resurrection Remix ROM. After booting into recovery and make a factory default wipe, started to boot always in recovery (TWRP). Doesn't matter if I force to reboot into system. Tried to flash the latest version of RR and nothing changed. Flashed TWRP v3.0.2 and touch screen didn't work.
Then I decided to start from the beginning, flashing the stock libra_images_6.1.7_20151221.0000.11_5.1_cn, unlock the bootloader ( fastboot oem device-info gaves me "true" unlocked), flashed TWRP 3.0.3-0, and till this point all it worked flawlessly. When I flashed the latest RR, then started the boot loop into recovery.

Any idea? Thank you very much

Latest RR 5.8.2 by AndopaX and LineageOS by HnT build with new Miui N bootloader..
You need to change TWRP base Miui N also Fw Update from Miui N..
You will get bootloop when install that roms into old Miui LP bootloader..

TWRP Nougat : by AndropaX

Many ways to update, I have try this one.
* Disable PIN/Pattern Lockscreen (related bug of fw nougat)
1. Boot into your old TWRP LP
2. Wipe System, Data, Dalvik and Cache
3. Install FW Update N via TWRP
4. Install new TWRP N via TWRP too
(choose install image) install to recovery
5. Reboot to new TWRP N
6. Install ROM + GAPPS via TWRP
7. Reboot to System
