Xiaomi Redmi 4X boot loop

dwaret · 27 Dec 2021, 16:30

Hi
I just recently decided to try out Ubuntu Touch so I tried to install it on my phone and now just like the title it's basically bricked, can't do anything with it.
I tried factory resetting it but it didn't work, searched the internet but no results.
I'm relatively new to this kind of stuff so this might be a dumb question.
Any help is appreciated, I just want my phone to work again.

@dwaret
You can often "break the bootloop" via ADB or Fastboot commands!

You have already tried Power Button + Volume Up or Down probably or not ?!
Or by holding the Power Button for a long time ?

I can remember having the same issue and solving it a couple of times so it should be possible!

@nero355 I was able to fix the bootloop but something else happened. Now it's just stuck on the bootup screen the only thing I can access is fastboot I can't even get to recovery mode even if I used ADB to reboot into recovery it just stuck on the mi logo

That's actually PERFECT!

Fastboot means you can flash the Stock Xiaomi Android ROM and have a working phone again!

Just use their official tool to do so : https://c.mi.com/in/miuidownload/detail?guide=2

But please make sure you flash the latest Stock Xiaomi Android ROM that's needed as the base version in order to be able to flash Ubuntu Touch afterwards!
