Sorta soft-locked K30 Pro Zoom

PipPasadran · Apr 14, 2021

Hi guys, I'm at my wits end with my flashing experience currently.

I just unlocked my K30 PZ, and was messing around with manuelbianco's TWRP, and I seem to have effectively softlocked my phone

I'm pretty tired and have no idea how I ended up here, so all I can really post is what I can observe.

It's constantly stuck in bootloop, and while I have access via fastboot as well as LR-TEAM TWRP(MB doesnt work, boots to logo then goes to black screen), nothing I do seems to be able to break my bootloop.

Attempting to flash MIUI via miflash results in the attempt getting stuck on super.img, while flashing by XiaoMiTool also has the same effect, with the added exit code 1.

Also noteworthy is that according to twrp, "/vendor", "/product" and "/odm" all fail to mount due to invalid arguement, which I have no idea about.
I've attempted to manually mount them via twrp, and try and flash stock miui, however there is no change in the behavior.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Which ROM did you want to flash?

PipPasadran · Apr 14, 2021

I grabbed the latest Poco F2 Pro zip from the mi community, since I couldn't find any K30 Pro ROMs

Do you want a miui stock rom or eu roms or aosp roms?

PipPasadran · Apr 14, 2021

My end goal is an AOSP rom like arrowOS or evolutionX.

I tried flashing arrowOS after everything had happened. It seems to flash normally, but on reboot it's shows the POCO logo then proceeds to bootloop

Dont relock your bootloader(otherwise the phone is dead)

1/flash this twrp with fasboot command https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=17248734326145679747
2/Twrp wipe format data write yes,reboot twrp
3/otg the rom or push in internal storage
4/flash rom(firmware)
5/format data again reboot twrp

Final update before I sleep

I've followed the steps, and managed to get arrowOS to boot screen
But I waited 20 mins for initial boot, and was stuck at the loading screen
Formatted data again to retry, and am now letting it run for as long as I can, but so far I'm 15 mins in now and have not seen anything more than the initial boot loading screen.

Thanks for the help, cheers

CN firmware and arrowOS A11 from their site

format data yes,reboot twrp
flash the rom https://sourceforge.net/projects/xi...MK30Pro_V12.2.1.0.RJKCNXM_v12-11.zip/download
reboot system
nothing else
first boot take 5/6 minutes.
if the phone restarts on this rom you will be sure that the correct firmware is installed

Im downloading that rom but my download speed is quite slow, update tmr. But is it normal that after format data and yes, the arrowOS loading screen still comes up?

yep ,but you can before flashing the EU rom after format data,do a wipe all except OTG.

So I formatted data, wiped all except OTG and then flashed the xiaomi.eu rom
Phone simply goes back into 2 bootloops before booting into twrp

Also to note, in advanced wipe system partition is missing in twrp. There is an option to mount, but it never shows up in wipe.
