Phone acting strange - Bricked?

[healy2k]

Hi

My phone stopped working a couple of days ago, I had been running a custom rom for 2 mths. I tried to restart and boot to recovery TWRP as I was going to reflash the rom. It charegs with no lights, for a day I couldnt boot to TWRP if it did it stayed on the start screen with no options. Today I can get options in TWRP so I tried to start fresh install but intstallation stops at step 1 ?

I have no idea what happened to the phone or why it just died, but dont understand why I can get into TWRP but cant flash rom etc. Also sometimes it say system destroyed message? but still can get into TWRP ?

Any ideas or help will much appreciated really would like to fix this rather than write the phone off.

Thanks

i think flashing firmware is the only option

Hi, yeah I think thats what I try, is this flashing stock rom via MI flash or a different process?

update

try miflash if doesn't work try QFil

Hi, been playing with this when i have time over the last few weeks.
I have been trying to flash firmware, I dont seem to be able to get QFIL to work for me, it wont reconsise the port. However MIFlash does but I get errors, sometimes it flashes but doesnt end? other times i have had error flashing modem_a or error flashing modem_b (maybe device is locked).
In ADB it says already unlocked. Also I can only boot into fastboot, not recovery so i cant intall anything from adb sideload, it wont boot into bootloader just powers off if i try this. I guess theres no recovery on it now as I cannot boot into it.
Any ideas on where to go from here , EDL? I really didnt want to attempt to open the phone.

Thanks

Try miflash 2019 with stock rom pie latest with edl mode
if bootloader unlocked You can enter edl mode via fastboot with the command 'fastboot oem edl'

Thanks, tried this, says success then just carries on , so i have to disconnect. However when then trying to boot the device it shows Android one logo and if im lucky after a few attempts it goes to the screeen saying Hi There, where you choose your language to set up the phone. However it nows seem to be unresponsve and frozen on that screen.

Im beginning to think its could be hardware issue and phone is just faulty, i really dont want to bin it as its imacculate condition seems a real shame, but it is 3 years old i guess.

Any further help or ideas much appreciated.
