Mi a2 Lite stuck at Fastboot - No recovery, no nothing! Help.

[Bucika]

Hello,

I've unlocked the bootloader and installed twrp..
First thing that was strange was that after I've put the .zip file to the internal memory, and booted back to twrp, the files were not there.. after that I've rebooted the phone, it asked me for a password (I've had no password after I've unlocked the bootloader)...

I've puted the Linage OS and Gapps on the external sd card..
Went to recovery again tried to flash the linage OS, got some error, like step 1 step 2.. and then error, tried to reboot into system.. now it only boots into fastboot.. I can get it to the EDL.. However cant flash twrp.. I get the error - mdp image is corrupted..

So I'm stuck! Don't know what to do anymore..

Any help is much appreciated.

Yeah, it was that easy..
If I try to boot twrp I get the error, that mdpt image is corrupted and it doesn't boot..

Oh... maybe you need to do the EDL...
I had to do this one time when I flashed wrong image...

< waiting for device > is all I get when I boot into EDL..

However I do believe that the phone is not totally bricked, as I can boot into EDL and into Fastboot, but there is no system, no recovery.. And when I try to flash anything all I get is mdpt image is corrupted.. And If I try to flash anything from EDL it just says < waiting for device >

 

[Bucika]

No..

I can get into the EDL by typing fastboot oem edl.. and computer recognize the device as Qualcom HS-USB QDloader 9008... I just can't find a way to flash anything..

try this
New TWRP 3.3.1-0 update:
Bootable: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=6006931924117887098
Flashable: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=6006931924117887097

Bro just stay in fastboot and flash the official stock firmware. Extract it on your computer and run FLASH ALL.

Btw- make sure you have charge over 50%

I don't recommend to use mi flash tool in that situation.

Download the fastboot rom and adb to the same folder and run the flash_all.bat.

What it will do it delete the partitions and remake them what mi flash tool don't do, after that your phone will be back to stock.

I played with this phone a lot and I even got the system is now destroyed message and also deleted my imei, if I did recovered from that so I know what I'm saying?

MAKE SURE TO NOT RUN THE FLASH_ALL_LOCK.BAT IF YOU DO WITHOUT TESTING IF YOUR SYSTEM BOOT FINE YOU COULD BRICK YOUR PHONE FOREVER!!!​

 

[Azatecas]

OP did any of these methods work?

 

[krakeen06]

I had the exactly same problem when I first got to flashing on my A2 Lite. Download the newest Fastboot image, extract it with 7zip and run the flash_all.bat, <b>NOT THE FLASH_ALL_LOCK.BAT<b/>. This will recover everything. After that you can proceed normal installing. Also use unofficial TWRP by offain instead of the official one.

The exact installing instructions can be found here: https://github.com/tkchn/daisyinstall
Use only this installation guide, except for the disable encryption part: don't flash the disableencyption.zip directly after TWRP on Slot A, but instead install it after the GApps and leave out Magisk. This will automatically install Magisk 16.7 on your phone, but you can upgrade that after a successful boot. If you will try to flash the def.zip on the Slot A, it will give an error and your phone will encrypt the data on the first boot.
