Redmi Note 10 Pro 'sweet' stuck in fastboot after flashing recovery.img

[joschaeff]

Hello,

first thanks for your work at /e/OS. I’m a user of the system on several devices, but I have a problem with this one.

I followed all instructions of the installation method for the redmi note 10, but after installing the recovery.img file in fastboot mode, I can not go in recovery (nor in normal) mode anymore.

I only have fastboot and nothing else.

I tried to flash 3 different versions of /e/OS recovery.img files, I tried the one from lineageOS, and I also tried the TWRP img file, but it’s all the same.

Do you have any idea to help me out ?

Cheers !

Redmi Note 10S - bootloop at the e/os recovery installation stage

Hi everyone, I’ve followed the instructions related to my device here. After I managed to unlock my phone, I flashed the recovery image onto my phone by ADB and got a success message (maybe the step where I made a mistake). Then at the stage 5 when I try to reboot my phone on recovery mode, the same screen appears: Redmi logo in the middle, Android at the bottom, and an open lock below the front camera (meaning that the bootloader is unlocked I assume) . I’m stucked and only able to start in …

[piero]

did you look at Lineage wiki ?
are there the same instructions ?

Try this - do not use hardware buttons:

fastboot flash boot recovery-e-2.7-t-20250113460981-community-rosemary.img

Now reboot into r/e/covery to verify r/e/covery installation:

fastboot boot recovery-e-2.7-t-20250113460981-community-rosemary.img

I only have fastboot and nothing else.

@joschaeff
Then use only fastboot commands and try this (see also above):

fastboot flash boot recovery.img
fastboot boot recovery.img

[joschaeff]

Hello,

many thanks for your messages, I see I am not alone having the issue.

fastboot flash boot recovery.img
fastboot boot recovery.img

did not change the situation. I don’t see any new option there, but I’ll follow the other thread you pointed to.

Should I try to reinstall the stock firmware ? If yes, is there a procedure that does not imply having a Windows (or a windows VM) ?

Cheers.

to reinstall the stock firmware ? If yes, is there a procedure that does not imply having a Windows

When I had an Xiaomi I relied on XiaoMiTool V2 - Modding of Xiaomi devices made easy.

The supporting XDA thread is https://xdaforums.com/t/tool-win-lin-mac-miunlocktool-unlock-bootloader-of-xiaomi-devices-on-mac-linux.3782444/.

• (Notice how initially this links to MiUnlockTool - Unlock Xiaomi bootloader on Mac or Linux! but it is V2 which we need to use now)

As you and @Sebuse both seem to have the same problem Edit, similar problem, different devices! It seems to me one of

• you have an unsupported variant. Lineage helps with
  • Info about rosemary variants | LineageOS Wiki.
  • Info about sweet variants | LineageOS Wiki
• wrong firmware base
• e-Recovery is broken
• neither of you have found the correct magic, to boot into recovery while preventing the part of shutdown cycle which initiates overwriting the official Xiaomi/Android recovery. Edit Not correct, in the sweet case it seems your flashing of ‘recovery’ did overwrite Xiaomi/Android recovery.

Thanks @aibd.

My device is a redmi note 10 pro. I use the “sweet” variant.

I must confess I did’nt check the firmware version , I bought it in Europe. Maybe it was not suported. If I’m able to recover, I’ll post an issue for other people to be aware of this possibility.

To make things more complicated, the USB connexion in fastboot seems to work only on my old linux laptop, where I had to spawn a win10 virtual machine as those tools are always for windows environments. Well this is my problem, of course, I work around it but everything gets super fastidious.

Maybe it was not suported.

There is a firmware guide on the install page Install /e/OS on a Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro - “sweet”

[joschaeff]

Hello, I managed to install the firmware.

Now, I’m stuck in a android stock fastboot.

I can see from fastbootenhance that I miss partitions on my device: super and vbmeta_system.

I think that if I’m able to recreate those 2 partitions, I could upload the whole firmware and fix it. But I could not find any instruction on this. Is there some anywhere ?

[Xxpsilon]

@joschaeff

Hello, I managed to install the firmware

@joschaeff

Which version?
Which variant: OTA Update? Recovery ROM? Fastboot ROM?

For a new installation (clean install) it is absolutely necessary to flash the Fastboot ROM. Only this variant contains all the necessary files!

[joschaeff]

More details:
to be sure of what I say, I restarted the steps (sorry, I tried so much options, I’m not sure anymore of the actual status of it).

This is my latest attempt:

I downloaded the firmware V14.0.9.0.TKFMIXM
following instructions here: Update firmware on sweet | LineageOS Wiki

I passed all the fastboot flash commands, with only one error:

fastboot flash imagefvbak imagefv.elf
Warning: skip copying imagefvbak image avb footer (imagefvbak partition size: 0, imagefvbak image size: 28672).
Sending 'imagefvbak' (28 KB)                       OKAY [  0.000s]
Writing 'imagefvbak'                               FAILED (remote: '(imagefvbak) No such partition')
fastboot: error: Command failed

Now, I will not try anything further until I understand this error.

@joschaeff

I downloaded the firmware V14.0.9.0.TKFMIXM

Your firmware variant is Recovery ROM and not suitable for a complete reinstallation (see above)

@joschaeff

Now, I will not try anything further until I understand this error.

The mistake is easy to understand.

C o m p a r e

WRONG: 		fastboot flash imagefvbak imagefv.elf
CORRECT: 	fastboot flash imagefv imagefv.elf

[joschaeff]

How can I tell that the firmware is a fastboot ROM ?
Would this one be fit ? https://mifirm.net/download/11244

[joschaeff]

I think I made some progesses Thanks a lot for your kind replies.

I flashed the fastboot ROM found on link above, using the MiFlash Tool.

This is the whole logs.

I miss the “super” partition … can I make one “by hand” ? Or by any other mean ?

I miss the “super” partition … can I make one “by hand” ? Or by any other mean ?

You are very daring! We shouldn’t be surprised that the installations haven’t worked yet.

@joschaeff

How can I tell that the firmware is a fastboot ROM ?
Would this one be fit ? Download V14.0.9.0.TKFEUXM - Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro (EEA) - Global Stable in MiFirm

A fastbootROM (.tgz) is always larger than a recoveryROM (.zip)

Your fastbootROM is okay now.

---

1st: unpack sweet_eea_global_images_V14.0.9.0.TKFEUXM_20231121*.tgz
2nd: unpack sweet_eea_global_images_V14.0.9.0.TKFEUXM_20231121*.tar

3rd: Folder/Directory: sweet_eea_global_images_V14.0.9.0.TKFEUXM_13.0
Note: In subfolder /images you will find, among others, the files super.img + vbmeta.img

Completely new installation

1. Boot “sweet” into fastboot mode
2. Navigate to folder sweet_eea_global_images_V14.0.9.0.TKFEUXM_13.0
3. CMD (instead of Windows PowerShell)
4. flash_all.bat (installation script)

Happy flashing!

[joschaeff]

Again, thanks for your time

The result is the same:

fastboot  flash super Z:\sweet_eea_global_images_V14.0.9.0.TKFEUXM_13.0\images\super.img   ||

[Xxpsilon]

Have you flashed only fastboot flash super super.img or executed flash_all.bat (installation script)?

[joschaeff]

I executed the installation script.
I only pasted the first error message.

[Xxpsilon]

Okay, let’s try reorganizing the partition structures with reinstalling stock ROM Android 11 = fastbootROM V12.5.7.0.RKFEUXM > flash_all.bat (installation script) or Mi Flash Tool 20210226

Hello,

thank you again for your kind support. Good idea to test the oldests version of Android.

Sadly it did’nt work, same error with the super partition missing.

I tried the oldest firmware available, but it’s Android 11 already, with this dynamic super partition. So no luck.

The more I understand the problem, the more I’m puzzled about how I got there …

I’m taking any new idea that would pop out in order to recover

Thanks again, I appreciate a lot not being alone here
