Xiaomi Mi A1 - Screen stays dark after booting #1481

Closed selste closed 5 years ago

selste commented 5 years ago

[x] I am running an official build of TWRP, downloaded from https://twrp.me/Devices/
[x] I am running the latest version of TWRP
[x] I have read the FAQ (https://twrp.me/FAQ/)
[x] I have searched for my issue and it does not already exist

tissot: 3.3.0-2:

WHAT STEPS WILL REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM?

Power on device in fastboot mode, then run 'fastboot boot twrp-3.3.0-2.img'

WHAT IS THE EXPECTED RESULT?

Team Win Recorvery Project Splashscreen should appear, after a few more seconds the regular screen with the various option buttons (Install, Wipe, Backup, etc.) is shown

WHAT HAPPENS INSTEAD?

Display stays dark, in case the device is connected to the computer the internal storage is mounted

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Version 3.3.0-1 is affected as well, Version 3.3.0-0 does not have this problem - boots up as expected, but - unrelated to this issue - fails to install LineageOS 16.0 on the device, sadly.

recovery.log

bigbiff commented 5 years ago

Hello, I think that is the default recovery.log. Please post the one with your issue documented. Please post dmesg.

selste commented 5 years ago

Ran 'fastboot boot [...]' again, and directly afterwards 'dmesg' - this is the output i got: dmesg.log

Are you on the latest 9.0 firmware?

selste commented 5 years ago

I ran into this problem when i tried to upgrade from LineageOS 15.1 to 16.0 - there's currently nothing installed, both slots are empty.

i have this twrp and is working without problems, as @nicknitewolf said. Yuou need latest pie firmware, try May or June firmware

Uh if you really can't update with this recovery, I have provided recoveries based off the 3.18 kernel, which your old firmware would definitely support: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1e8iUu8Bsm7ywg9-XZ1eVxsMfxOFhE5my

Thx, but i got twrp 3.2.2-1, unfortunately it doesn't work with LineageOS 16, and i'd really like to install the latest version. I haven't had a look at the changes made to twrp between 3.3.0-0 and 3.3.0-2, and what could have had any effect regarding the display.

Is there any base firmware update from Xiaomi available that You know of which i could try to apply?

selste commented 5 years ago

Just to clarify: I wiped the phone (both slots), am now booting the recovery (twrp) to install the current LineageOS. TWRP 3.3.0-2 and 3.3.0-1 both sort of boot, but the display stays completely dark, which makes it impossible to install a ROM (LineageOS 16 in my case).

selste commented 5 years ago

@nicknitewolf: Successfully flashed the ROM with your version of TWRP for 3.18 kernels - Thanks

FYI - could not flash the current 'MindTheGapps' archive with that TWRP version, i had to use 3.3.0-2

Guess the issue can be closed.
