Stuck in FASTBOOT mode

[Oxidoz]

Hello,
Well, I’m turning to the real experts here because I messed up trying to flash the ROM myself and now I’m left without a phone
I’ll try to summarize this as best I can, since my English isn’t very good:

I have a Xiaomi Mi 13 Ultra with the following original configuration: CN version and Global ROM.
Thanks to your forum, I had installed HyperOS 1 using your stable Xiaomi.eu ROM.
(https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/need-help-for-understand-roms.71375/#post-717735)

Two weeks ago, I installed HyperOS 2, still using your ROM.
I used the Isthar.zip ROM; the installation went smoothly, with no issues except that MMS stopped working.

A few days ago, I decided to try installing HyperOS 3.
I wanted to do the same as I did for HyperOS 2, but the installation wouldn’t proceed automatically with TWRP.

So I tried forcing it via ADB, but that didn't work either.
I then used “platform-tools” and Terminal directly on my Mac.
I tried a few things and ended up flashing “twrp-3.7.1_12-v9.0_A15-ishtar-skkk.img”.

But now I’m stuck in FASTBOOT mode; I can’t get back to Android or anything else.
Chatgpt tells me to do a full reflash using an official Xiaomi ROM (CN version) and that all my data will be lost...

What do you think ?
Is there anything that can be salvaged ?
I can’t even use my phone anymore...

Thanks in advance for any help.

what did you type in to flash the twrp?

Installing a Custom Recovery

All custom recoveries come in the format of an IMG file (some are released as a flashable ZIP, like OrangeFox, but there's still an IMG inside). However, installation method will differ, depending on where the recovery ramdisk resides on your device specifically. Failing to install the custom...

xiaomi.eu

make sure to run

"
fastboot flash recovery_ab recovery.img
fastboot reboot recovery"

if you do a fastboot boot instead it gets you stuck in fastboot, you can get out by typing those two commands
fastboot erase misc
fastboot set_active a

and then fastboot reboot

I can't remember the exact command, it was that damn ChatGPT that gave it to me...
Something like "fastboot flash....."

if it was some random command, i would recommend to just install the ROM again by running the upgrade file macos_install_upgrade.sh and then do in this case:
"
fastboot flash recovery_ab twrp-3.7.1_12-v9.0_A15-ishtar-skkk.img
fastboot reboot recovery"

btw i just noticed you are using an older version of the twrp.

get twrp-3.7.1_12-v9.0_A16-ishtar-skkk.img

Ok so I put "twrp-3.7.1_12-v9.0_A15-ishtar-skkk.img" in the "platform-tool" folder.
I connect my mi 13 in USB with the FASTBOOT screen.
After I go in Terminal and just test this command :

fastboot flash recovery_ab twrp-3.7.1_12-v9.0_A15-ishtar-skkk.img
fastboot reboot recovery

Is that good ?
Thanks mate.

yes should be good, make sure to get the twrp-3.7.1_12-v9.0_A16-ishtar-skkk.img instead though


and if its still stuck, do
fastboot erase misc
fastboot set_active a

and reinstall the ROM with the macos_install_upgrade.sh

and then
fastboot flash recovery_ab twrp-3.7.1_12-v9.0_A15-ishtar-skkk.img
fastboot reboot recovery

 

[Oxidoz]

Ok so for "fastboot flash recovery_ab twrp-3.7.1_12-v9.0_A15-ishtar-skkk.img"
I Have : (bootloader) Partition recovery_b flashed successfully

But for "fastboot reboot recovery", I'm always in FASTBOOT...

For "fastboot erase misc" I have : Erasing 'misc' OKAY [ 0.006s]
And for "fastboot set_active a" I have : Setting current slot to 'a' OKAY [ 0.028s]

But How do you reinstall the ROM with the macos_install_upgrade.sh ?
I don't have this file.

(I'm on partition B not A, don't know if its important)

get into fastboot and do those two commands in that order:

fastboot erase misc
fastboot set_active a

and then do
fastboot reboot

if you want to reinstall the rom without deleting data.
download that ROM, extract, run macos_install_upgrade.sh and then just let it boot to android first.

 

[Oxidoz]

Ok "erase" and "set-active" is done, then "fastboot reboot" and my phone just reboot on FASTBOOT screen.
(Phone don't want to boot on android)

You tell "run macos_install_upgrade.sh" but I run it on my Mac ?

yeah normally you can just start the file and it will open terminal by itself
