Recovering Phone(Pt.2)

The phone was still flashing the Mi Icon in the Boot Screen and repeatedly switched off and on on it's own. I tried switching off manually using the power button but in vain.😔

I had made huge mistakes, blunders all this time. My planning was perfect but implementation went wrong out of hurry.

My mistakes:

• The most important, I forgot to backup my data in TWRP recovery mode.
• I forgot to transfer alternate Oreo ROM to my phone's memory.
• I used TWRP from Y.T tutorial which was ages old incompatible with the new Android Pie.
• After the failed status, once again I wiped my data.
• Minor one:The GApps I installed was not compatible.

After realizing my first 3 mistakes, I started searching for solutions online. Most of them referred to remove battery which was vague since mine was non-replacable.Moreover, I can't risk waiting to discharge from 80% using the bootloop which I wasn't sure what was happening. Further searching resulted in chance of bricking my phone that means permanently damaged. It's no use other than just a brick. Fortunately mine was stuck in bootloop😅. I was disappointed, nervous and frightened at the same time. I tried switching between the power and volume keys. Read how booting works in phones and then it struck my mind.

I can use command prompt to go to fastboot recovery. But I need to spark. I tried

connecting while the phone boots up, waited for it to switch off and between that fraction of minutes until it rebooted I connected my phone to PC via USB through ADB network. It read the phone as it started but as an unrecognizable device. This was the flash in darkness. Soon it booted again only to show MI screen, and this time I had Cmd open, I typed the Linux Command in ADB to fastboot recovery and voila I was there. ADB network

helped me, ASAP I downloaded the latest TWRP and installed it on my phone through commands. I searched for most stable ROM online and GApps(most compatible) ones, I can't risk once more. Using the Cmd I installed and booted to recovery mode,wiped the data transferred the ROM and this time stock ROM as well(Backup duh!) Flashed the ROM using Command Prompt and again it took time. Voilaaa, the ROM flashed and GApps installed to success.

Finally I booted my Phone, fingers crossed and came up a nice graphics of chips(AOSPExtended), just stock apps and nothing else!

Nothing can be more content than giving your almost dead phone a new life(ROM).

Faster phone more Memory space,maximum customization, improved physics security, minimal apps and most important NO ads.

How I bricked my Phone and then recovered it[Pt.1]

One fine day, nah actually it was night time, I decided to root my phone just out of curiosity. What motivated me was persistent ads and annoying notification of system apps. It was my new phone less than an year and still in warranty. I knew Xiaomi's warranty doesn't void after rooting. I did my research and found that the only problem that could arise if I bricked my phone. I was just too excited to notice this and rushed to YouTube videos. "Smartphone 2torials"

bring the top result for my phone model was the first video. It made it seem pretty too easy and simple. The video didn't guide me through the unlocking boatloader but everything else. It took me an hour to go through 'How to unlock Bootloader'. Another problem knocked my door but everytime, it hid when I tried to track who, pardon what.

The unlocking was simple: Bound device; wait for 3-4 days(some said upto 7days); install Mi Unlocker in computer; sign in and start unlocking connecting your phone. I did the same and foolishly waited for 3 days. I was restless and there was no other option. Yep, foolishly, yes it was stupid of me, nothing happened. I had to bound with the same account with which I logged in my phone and PC and then unlock bootloader. I had two accounts signed in![facepalm]

I logged out of all accounts, logged in once again using phone no, double checked my account ID, logged as *same account* in PC and started the procedure. It was now that I received the notification of 72hrs.[ Phew!] This time I got jittery, set up my countdown and checked every other minute. Impatient to next Level.

It was time again, I had everything handy, the YouTube's tutorial, the files that it offered me and battery charged. There was a slight manipulation, instead of the stock ROM that video showed me I wanted to try Android PIE, it was trending, who can refrain from trends? I had Oreo ROM as well incase former was unstable, soon it was time and I was hella excited, I swoop connected my phone and started unlocking 50%-60%-70%-80%-90%-99%... DONE!!!

Woah! Finally I booted my phone and it showed unlocked, hurriedly I packed my packages like TWRP from tutorial and the Android Pie ROM from XDA site. Connected and transferred the files, Footbooted using power keys into recovery mode. Watched the tutorial again this time briskly, I wiped the data as the video said and paused the video for full attention and flashed my Android Pie. It took a lot of time about 5-7mins only to show the status "FAILED". Alas! As a result the phone went into bootloop and I went into state of shock! 

Death

History is comprised of Dead men writing morse code on the longest line of cocaine.

Dead men who threw Rolling Stones hoping they'll gather moss so the next dead man doesn't die alone.

Where are the women? Dead. Death doesn't discriminate.

Why are they dead? Because they were once alive, Death is never late.

What about the living? They lie in graves since life is just a bait.

Death isn't always the answer, yet we earn for the satisfaction it brings.

The alive know only questions; lies are what we sing.

Facts that change without user interaction.

Pillar of Questions being just a Fraction.

Born in acceptance, death in obedience.

Many live awaiting death.

No need to question a timeline's redundant.

A challenge so daunting, billions weep on pedastals built by dead ancestors.

And who knows,

by the time you've finished reading this,

I may just be another dead, looking upon you from Heaven's Bed.
