Yeah as many have already stated, you won’t be able to recover your data. I’d suggest the following if it already hasn’t been suggested:

1. Download Miflash tool latest (2018.05)
2. Go to Mifirm.net, and find the right model variant of your phone, check the packaging of your phone
3. Download the fastboot Rom latest version for your phone
4. Connect the phone to a computer in fastboot with your communist bunny logo
5. Select the fastboot Rom file, and select CLEAN ALL
6. If you never unlocked your phone select CLEAN ALL AND LOCK, otherwise select CLEAN ALL.
7. Patiently wait and the phone will boot, although you won’t get your data back.

Det var noen som kom med en ting å teste som var ny for meg

Om du gjør det der og så installerer TWRP https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomimia2.html (jeg trodde jeg måtte resette telefonen for å installer TWRP)

for så å boote inn i TWRP (alternative telefon admin program kan man vell kalle det)

for SÅ å koble telefonen til en PC (og inni TWRP velge at du skal overfør filer, om det ikke er default)

… så kanskje kanskje. Men ja dette er noe teknisk så da må nok du også være det.

I just bend down and take my ads like a man.

k, null stress

>I really don’t want to factory reset my phone as I do not know if I have backup of my pictures

I hate to break it you but unless you do, that phone won’t boot. You’ll need to connect it to recovery and flash it back to stock.

Dude the op didn’t get the reference at all.

So you’ve never unlocked or meddled with your phone software before? This is really odd. I have this device but this hasn’t happened to me before.

Hmm your boot img might be corrupt.. but you can flash anything since it wasn’t previously unlocked. The safest you can try now is a factory reset as far as my knowledge goes.

The only way to preserve ur internal storage is to flash TWRP and flash another ROM via twrp without wiping ur internal storage or u can just try to wipe data without wiping internal storage. Wiping data (its mean deleting all installed apps) is required if u want to flash another rom.

But i guess there must be something wrong with ur storage hardware since u cant boot out of nowhere. It means system partition is somehow deleted.

hmm okay, men kjørte snapchat i bakgrunnen? (har sett dette skje flere ganger med noen som drev med snapchat like før telefonen ble tom for strøm/ble slått av.)

altså om snapchat drev å hentet noe i bakgrunnen tenker jeg det kunne gjort samme feilen om mitt “hunch” er korrekt.

Yeah, this is why i don’t want to buy a smartphone without warranty. I bought mi 5 through unofficial channel in my country. Put screenguard and hard case on the first day of use, it will last until the day i change my phone again, i think. Then a few months later, the phone suddenly overheat and the wifi chip broke, can’t connect to 2.4ghz wifi anymore now.

With smartphone, you just don’t know what will happen, no matter how careful you are.

Sorry you’ll have the factory reset it. That is why I sold my Mi A2 and bought a Nokia 7 Plus. Because Xiaomi proved to me that they’re completely shitty when it comes to system updates, a lot of people had the same issue after updating their devices and some didn’t even boot at all.

The Mi A2 has the issue of bootloops after updates. Not sure if thats the problem you’re facing now. If you can get to the fastboot screen, you can boot up in TWRP **without** installing TWRP and proceed to flash the stock rom **without** overwriting the data partition which would save your data like videos/pictures, app data. If you’ve changed the partitions for custom roms, it might still be possible to recover the data.

But its always much better to save a hardcopy of your 2FA security keys in case you need to reinstall/reconfigure apps on another device/pc. Can’t assume that your phone will never break or get stolen.

It’s only wipes the data, but the pictures not.

Husker ikke, men tviler.

I do but I hardly store anything of value on it except probably the settings and stuff through MI backup.

You should in xaomi u have your own we cloud plus goggle drive and one drive if u need more.

Unlocking the bootloader wipes the data though

🙄

No creo chavo gracias por participar.

Well, shit. I coulda used this lol

Got into a similar situation with my wife’s xiaomi.

As for why it happens, well, probably not your fault, shit happens. It’s not why or how, it’s when. Everything will fail, your PC, your phone, you, whatever, it will happen. It’s just a matter of being prepared for it.

That said, shit happens and it often catches people with their pants down so let’s try and see if we can do something about it.

First off, Google photos probably has your back. Get to a pc, open Google photos website log in with the google account you were using on your phone and see what’s there. If you see all your photos or recent ones, you’re golden. If it’s empty, fuck, but let’s keep at it.

Second, if you plug in your phone to your PC with a cable, can you see your folders? You probably can’t, but doesn’t hurt to try. If you do, just copy over whatever files/photos you have to the pc and we’re good.

You didn’t see your phone on the pc. Did you unlock your phones bootloader? If you did, good. That menu thing you’re seeing is the recovery menu for the phone. It’s a special place used to install the system and other cool things. Thing is, the default recovery sucks ass and doesn’t allow to do much. If you unlocked the bootloader, you’re free to replace that recovery with a much better one like TWRP. TWRP is a third party one that allows tons of cool things like seeing you phone on your PC and accessing your files on your phone just by booting TWRP (this is called mounting the data partition through MTP).

This is where you’d get it for de A2

You need to flash this through fastboot, this process is a bit more involved but you can get all the info you need from xda:

https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/guide-how-to-flash-custom-roms-stuff-t3876375

If you get TWRP working, assuming your phone’s partitions are intact and there isn’t any issue with the storage hardware, you can boot to recovery (TWRP), plug the cable and copy over your stuff to the pc.

If you do have hardware issues, there’s little chances you can fix it by yourself. try seeking professional help, there are companies that specialize in data recovery. They’re expensive but if your photos are worth it, they usually get results.

Best of luck!

Unless he already has unlocked the encryption will make you reset before mounting partitions. Security can be bad….

I mean forgetting about the memories in those pics is one way to not deal with backup

A full cloud expirence in your phone.

I had the same Issue on my MiA2. Unfortunately i had to do a Factory reset but It wasn’t that bad since everything was like before thanks to the Xiaomi backup system. What I didn’t have that could have saved my phone was the bootloader unlocked. If you have It unlocked you might be able to pull It off by ADB.

Sjekker sjeldent Snapchat da jeg bare har gått lei av det, så tviler sterkt altså. Men jeg kjente at mobilen lå trykt imellom meg og armen min, så kan forstå at jeg klarte å slå av telefonen, men at den ikke fant Android systemet etterpå er litt verre.

Can you take mine as well?

Oh i didnt know that there is no waiting for android one devices. Yes, the method to conserve data from unlocking the bootloader is by using the mi unlock tool.

Drev du tilfeldigvis på med Snapchat like før du skulle knyte skoene?

Had a similar event yesterday. Mi9t Miui11. Was running warm all morning, battery going down quickly. Battery usage in settings showed ANDROID SYSTEM at 65%, all other apps normal.
When my battery hit 15% I turned the phone off. Later, I was unable to turn the phone on. I tried holding “Down” volume for 10 seconds and went into “Fastboot” with the…um…Commie bunny cartoon but no text. I had no idea what to do so I just pocketed my phone. An hour later, I noticed the phone was cool to the touch but had booted-up on it’s own. It has operated semi-normally since then. Android System is still over 35% but battery drain is not as bad as before and it is not especially warm.
I suggest the OP just leave his phone alone for a while, then check it. If it won’t boot-up, hold the “Down” volume rocker for 10-15 seconds, see if “Fastboot” comes on. If it does, just leave it alone and see if it fixes itself as mine did.
